The ground shook. A dark shadow crept over the beautiful sky. The people of the Dream Garden ran frantically in fear as the darkness came closer. It engulfed the land, and went towards the castle.
Inside the castle, the princess stood in front of her throne. She wore a grave look on her face, as she waited for what was coming. A shadow appeared in front of her, and shot out. It went above her throne, where a shining rainbow star rested. It broke the star, and shot it in different directions. The princess disappeared with it. In her place laid a small note.
It read, 'Do not worry about me. Find the ones who can save me, and who can save the Heart Star, who can save us all. Pretty Cure.'
Three lights shot into the sky, and a single laugh sounded.

"Anika-chan!" said Rori as she waved. Anika was running to meet up with two girls, one blonde, one brunette. They walked down the street together, joking about their last soccer game.
Suddenly, a flash flew through the sky. Anika noticed it and glanced up, and looked for it. Absorbed in the lights, she barely realized the shouting of her friends. When they broke her concentration, she spun around to look at them, but instead seen a tennis ball flying towards her at high speed.
Instinctively, she kicked the ball in the air. It flew out of sight, and she turned to her friends. They wore identical masks of shock, and they stared at her like seeing the sun for the first time.
"What?" Anika asked.
"Y-you're…glowing. Literally. Look at yourself." Emma, the brunette said. She raised her hand to point in fear, but it shook so she lowered it.
Anika looked at herself. Her eyes widened as she took herself in.
"I-I got to go. Bye!" Anika said, dashing off far ahead of the others.
Eye catch: (Anika kicks a soccer ball and it flies with Lila on it. Lila and the ball crash into Cira and Ciro and a PCE logo appears on the screen.)
Claire sighed. She walked up the corridor with the teacher. It was quiet, everybody was in class already. The teacher didn't say a word during the walk to the classroom.
Another class, another teacher, another group of new people. Another class to be judged by.
"Here we are. Welcome to our class." the teacher said as she opened the door to the classroom. The class went silent, and the two walked in.
"Attention! Please be quiet. I have something to announce before we start. We have a transfer from the eighth grade Flower Class. Welcome Mizutama Claire to our class please." said the teacher.
"Konnichiwa Claire! My name is Hibani Anika. Welcome to our class!" Anika blurted out as she jumped up. Claire just smiled at Anika.
"Ok. Thank you for introducing yourself Anika. Please sit down. Claire, you can take a seat in any open desk." Inoru-sensei said. Claire walked down the row of seats that were next to Anika's row. She sat down next to Anika and smiled.
The teacher then began class. Anika groaned, making Claire giggle.
"Yes! I got a cake! Awesome!" said Anika, as she opened her lunch to find to small squares of chocolate cake. She was about to eat them as Claire walked up.
"Shouldn't you eat your lunch first? Not your dessert?" Claire asked her. Anika put down the cake and looked up at Claire.
"Hello Claire. Hmm… How come you're not eating? I mean you got to have some good food in there." Anika asked curiously.
"Oh… well actually… I was wondering if I could eat with you three. I mean, I don't really-" Claire said shyly.
"Sure! Right Ri, right Em? Come on, sit down. And lets eat!" Anika interrupted.
Claire sat down next to Anika and opened her lunch. Anika stared at it for a minute, but then remembered her cake, so she went back to eating her own lunch.
After lunch, when they were all back in class, there was a knock on the door. Inoru-sensei opened it to see a man standing there.
"Hello. I was told to tell you that Hibani Anika and Mizutama Claire are needed at the office." He said. The teacher turned around with a confused look.
"Anika, Claire, please go with this man. You are wanted at the office." She told the girls. They stood up with identical looks of confusion, and followed the man out of the room.
They walked down the halls, making many turns, when something occurred to Anika.
'Where are we going? This isn't the way to the office. Who is this man?' She thought.
Suddenly, the man stopped at a door. He opened it and walked outside. Anika and Claire followed him out, but with wariness. He had only taken three steps before he stopped again. He turned and faced the girls.
"You are no match for me, school girls! Some legendary warriors." said the mysterious man, as he swept his hand from head downwards. He changed into a creepy creature.
Suddenly, two flashes of light flew from the sky and landed in front of Anika and Claire. From the dust cloud their crash made, out walked two small creatures. The walked over to Anika and Claire.
"Passion," said the pink and purple one.
"And courage," said the green and blue one next to it.
"Will lead the hearts to find the hope!" they both said as the small diamonds on their heads began to glow. Two beams of light flew out and hit the girls. Around each of their necks appeared a heart shaped necklace. They were both different colors, yellow and red, and black and blue.
"Transform!" the creatures yelled.
"Transform? How?" Anika asked.
"With the charms. You are Pretty Cure." said the pink one.
"Transform and defeat the Dark Reign!" said the green one.
They looked at each other and nodded.
"Pretty Cure Miracle Eclipse!" they yelled.
Red and Blue light surrounded them, and a new outfit appeared.
"The flaming heart of the sun, Cure Blaze!" said Anika.
"The shining heart of the moon, Cure Star!" said Claire.
"Together we are Pretty Cure!" they both said.
"With the power of light," said Cure Blaze.
"And the shine of our hearts," said Cure Star.
"We will restore the power of hope!" they both finished.
"Pretty Cure! Impossible! You stand no chance against me, the great Riko!" The creepy man said. He raised his hands, and darkness gathered. He threw it behind the two, and hit a tree.
"-Waku!-" It cried. There was a huge monster charging for Cure Blaze and Cure Star.
They jumped out of the way as it was about to smash them. They flew through the air and landed far away from where they were before. The monster whined and chased after them.
The two small creatures were in the girls arms. They looked up at Pretty Cure expectantly.
"Don't just stand here! Defeat the Meiwaku with your powers!" said the pink one.
"Look into your hearts! You'll know what to do." said the green one.
They jumped out of the girls arms and stepped back.
Cure Blaze gulped and raised her hands. Her hands lit in a flame.
"Power of the sun! Heart of flame! Heart Sunshine!" said Cure Blaze as she put her hands in a heart and flames shot out towards the Meiwaku. It knocked it over, and stunned it.
Cure Star jumped up, raising her arms like Cure Blaze. Her hands lit up with a glow.
"Power of the moon! Heart of stars! Heart Moonlight!" she said. Her hands were in a heart shape as blue stardust exploded from her hands. It repelled the Meiwaku, just as Cure Blaze's attack had.
"Use Heart Eclipse!" said the little pink and green creatures.
"Um… Ok?" they said as they joined hands.
"Heart of the Sun, Flame!" said Cure Blaze as she drew half a heart with her free hand.
"Heart of the Moon, Shine!" said Cure Star as she drew the other half of the heart with her free hand.
"The heart of the sun," said Cure Blaze.
"And the heart of the moon," said Cure Star.
"Will eclipse the darkness!" they both said, freeing their hands, and pulling those arms back.
"Pretty Cure Heart Eclipse!" they yelled, pushing their arms out toward the heart. It exploded in red and blue light and hit the Meiwaku, making it disappear.
"Yes! We did it Claire!" said Anika, as their Pretty Cure outfits disappeared.
"Who would've guessed. I know I didn't." Claire said as she and Anika started to laugh.
They walked back to class, with their hands interlocked.
This was the start of a wonderful friendship.
