You could say that 16-year-old Nick Kelly had a good life.
A couple years had passed since he became an Ojamajo (bothersome witch, as Majorika, their mentor, had often called him and the girls) with his friends.
Doremi and Poppu Harukaze, Hazuki Fujiwara, Aiko Senoo, Onpu Segawa, Momoko Asuka, Hana-chan, and Nick had all become witch's apprentices and had all sorts of whirlwind adventures over the past couple years.
As of now, the group had split and gone their separate ways, but had still decided to stay friends, no matter how much distance separated them.
Right now, Nick and Momoko had moved back to America with their respective parents. Nick and Momoko had become even better friends since the separation of the Ojamajo DoReMi gang.
Given, they had been friends almost their whole lives, but that friendship had only gotten stronger, up to the point where Nick and Momoko viewed each other as more than just best friends.
Now, there was just the issue of telling each other how they felt...
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Nick was thinking hard on his way home from school that Friday afternoon. Not too surprisingly, most of those thoughts were about Momoko. He found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake his thoughts off of the blonde American.
I guess my mind's been stuck on her ever since that day back in 4th grade, Nick thought. But when should I tell her about my feelings?
Nick took a look at his house, which was only a couple blocks away from Momoko's (and was in his sights). Suddenly, Nick made a decision.
I'll just meet up with my parents, and then I'll go tell Momoko how I feel about her.
His mind made up, Nick broke into a sprint, only a couple feet from the door.
"Okaa-sama! Otou-san! I'm home!"
Nick chuckled a bit at that; even though he was living in America now, he still couldn't shake off calling his mom and dad "Okaa-sama" and "Otou-san" as he had back in Japan.
He opened the door, only to see his parents, Rhea and Jeff Kelly, already waiting there for their son.
"Hey, mom and dad! What's..."
That was when Nick noticed the odd looks on his parents' faces. His dad's fist was even raised.
"Um... is something wrong?"
The next second, pain exploded through his entire body...
...and then, there was nothing.
As Nick faded into unconsciousness, he heard one last voice, a girl's, shouting his name.
"NICK!!"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

S.P.D. Gold Ranger presents:
Ojamajo Doremi Diamond and Pearl
This Chapter: April 25th, 2007
Author's Note: No, it's not what you think. The "Diamond and Pearl" in the title refers to the fact that I'll be doing two perspectives for each chapter I do of this story.
Summary: In my vision of a fifth season, when Nick's parents attack him completely out of the blue, he escapes with Momoko to an unexplored sector of the Majo-kai. By twist of fate, this rebellious act inexplicably brings the Ojamajos together once again. Now, equipped with new gear and brand new powers, they must solve the mystery of why Nick's parents attacked him. Along the way, they uncover a sinister plot against Hana-chan and the entire Majo-kai by a jaded face from Nick's past...
Author's Note: For now (until they get their new powers next chapter), Nick and the Ojamajos will be using the outfits and gear from Ojamajo Doremi Dokkan until I can think of a suitable new design and stuff for their new outfits in this story. I've got the names of the Magical Tap and wands all set, but I'm still trying to design the suits. I never was good at costume designing...
Author's Note 2: I've come up with the current theme songs and stuff!
Opening Song: "Furare Kibun de Rock 'n Roll" by DROPS from Dokidoki High School Hours
Ending Song: "Believe Yourself" by Exige from IGPX
Transformation Song: "With the Will" by Kouji Wada from Digimon Frontier
Nick's Theme: "Makes No Difference" by Sum 41

Chapter 1: The Act of Rebellion (Diamond Perspective: Nick's P.O.V.)
I groaned as my consciousness slowly returned to me. I also felt a mysterious warmth on the side of my head. My vision slowly returned, and I could see the source of that warmth - Momoko's hand was resting on the side of my head.
"M-M-Momo-chan..." I said weakly. "W-where am I?"
"Oh, Kellysi-chan! Thank god you're alright!" Momoko shouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Um, Momo-chan? What's with the waterworks? And why does my head hurt like Majorika when she's on a rampage?" I asked, rubbing my very sore head.
"Oh, Kellysi-chan... I almost didn't get you out of there in time..." Momoko continued, throwing her arms around me and crying like she never had before.
"Momo-chan..." I slowly stated. "What happened?"
"You mean you don't remember?" Momoko replied, her surprise evident. "Your parents just up and attacked you!"
"They what?" I exclaimed, only to clutch my head in pain again. It was apparently still VERY sore from whatever had just happened. I obviously couldn't remember much as of right now, as the pain in my head was clouding up my short-term memory.
"Just rest for a while, okay, Kellysi-chan? I don't want you straining yourself," Momoko stated, rubbing the side of my head. Her touch was so soothing to me...
"Momo-chan?" I asked. Now's as good a time as any to tell her how I feel about her. If my parents come after me again, I might not get another chance...
"Yes, Kellysi-chan?" Momoko replied.
"Well... I've wanted to say this for a few years now, but I've never been able to gather the courage I needed to actually say it..." I explained. "And it didn't help that Majorika kept butting in all those times..."
Momoko had to stifle a giggle. Taking no more chances, I took Momoko's hands into my own. "What I'm trying to say is..."
This was the moment of truth. "Momoko Asuka... Aishiteru." (Translation: "I love you!")
Momoko's smile only brightened as she heard those words. "I love you, too, Nick." She began leaning closer to me...
Unfortunately, my parents (who had supposedly attacked me) busted in, visibly enraged. I almost backed up in fear; I'd never seen my own parents that angry before...
"Oh, no!" Momoko exclaimed, reaching for something in her pocket. "Nick, you feel up to transforming?"
"I guess so," I replied, reaching into my own pocket and pulling out my Koron Tap. I know you're probably wondering how we've still got these if we renounced our powers before we split. Luckily, I "convinced" Majorika to let me and Momoko hold on to ours in case of an emergency. And this is probably the biggest emergency I've ever seen.
"Let's do it!" Momoko shouted, pressing the button on her Koron Tap. I stood up as best I could and did the same thing with mine. Almost instantly, we were both surrounded by swirls of magic, causing my now-insane parents to back off.
In just about no time, the magical spirals formed into our Ojamajo clothes.
"Tansei kisai Kellysi-chi!" (Translation: "Handsome wizard Kellysi-chi!")
"Pretty witchi Momoko-chi!"
Quickly pulling out our Jewelry Porons (our magic wands), we aimed them towards my rampaging parents, who looked they would kill anything that got in their way. Together, we chanted the spells we shared.
"Peruton petton pararira pon! Freeze those two solid!!"
"Asobu soba de sakiyaki sore! Freeze those two solid!!"
Reacting to our commands, the wands expelled a swirl of musical notes that circled around my parents, turning them both into blocks of ice, as our spells commanded. We took that time to escape behind them and straight out of Momoko's house.
"Why are they trying to kill me?" I asked.
"You know, there was something very familiar about that look in their eyes," Momoko responded. "Let's get to Majomonroe's shop. We'll see if anything there can help us out."
"Is that place still open, Momoko?" I asked, using Momoko's full first name, seeing as we were now soul mates, if you will.
"It should be. Majomonroe never felt like closing it, even after she died."
Nothing more needed to be said. The two of us raced top speed through the streets of New York City, taking quite a few shortcuts that only Momoko and I knew about, until we eventually reached Majomonroe's Magical Sweets Shop. It was still in pretty good condition, considering how long it had been open.
Once inside, Momoko and I began searching for something magical that might be able to help us out. Momoko had told me that ever since Majomonroe had died, she'd left all of her magical items in the shop, even though they could only be seen by someone who had even a trace of magical power.
"Hey, Nick!" Momoko exclaimed from afar, drawing my attention away from a set of glowing gold earrings. "Check this out!"
I looked over to where Momoko was standing, and she was holding her hands out to show me what she had found. Resting in her outstretched palms where three fragments of a radiating emerald crystal. I instantly recognized the crystal.
"That... that's the wishing crystal the Queen gave me!" I exclaimed. "How did it end up here?"
"I think it's because this crystal had a special sort of 'connection' to me," Momoko replied, walking up and taking my hands into her own. She began speaking in a soft, sorta-romantic voice. "Because if I remember correctly, Nick, you used that crystal's wish for me. Remember? When someone kidnapped Onpu-chan..."
"...and someone made an evil copy of her?" I finished, heading into flashback mode. "I still can't forget what happened then..."
(flashback, still Nick's P.O.V.)
(Author's Note: For quick reference, during these couple flashback scenes, the real Onpu is in her Motto clothes and the fake Onpu is in her Dokkan witch outfit with a few black lines. Also, this flashback takes place a couple days before the end of Ojamajo Doremi Dokkan.)
I stood in a fighting stance, my Jewelry Poron at the ready. I stared daggers at the fake Onpu, who was thoroughly exhausted after the little scuffle we'd just gotten into.
"Now, are you going to tell me where the REAL Onpu is?" I challenged.
"Not... on your life..." the fake Onpu shot back. "I have orders from my master to kidnap little Hana, and I swear that I will carry out those orders, even if I have to kill you one by one!"
"I'd like to see you try!" I exclaimed, holding my Jewelry Poron in a battle stance.
Suddenly, for the next few seconds, all I could see was a dark void, and the fake Onpu waving her own wand. A loud scream brought me back to reality, and I turned around, only to see a bright purple beam of light blasting straight through Momoko. She hung there in the air for a few seconds before dropping to the ground, still as a rock.
I could only stand there in shock as the other Ojamajos rushed to Momoko's side.
"How... how could you?" Doremi exclaimed to the fake Onpu, nearly in tears. "Momo-chan never did anything to you!"
"I told you, I have my orders," the fake Onpu stated again before disappearing in a swirl of purple music notes.
There was silence for a few seconds before Aiko completely lost her temper and charged for the spot where the fake Onpu had been mere seconds ago.
Hazuki quickly ran up and restrained Aiko. "Knock it off, Ai-chan! Acting impulsive like that won't bring Momo-chan back!"
Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Pulling out a radiant green crystal, I walked up to Momoko's still body.
"What's Kellysi-chan doing?" Doremi asked.
"Momoko... you said you'd do anything for me... and I said I'd do anything for you. Well, now I'm going to fulfill that promise."
"He isn't..." Aiko wondered.
"Queen of the Majo-kai... if you're listening, you should know that I love Momoko more than anything. I just want her to be happy."
"He wouldn't!" Hazuki exclaimed.
"Nick, DON'T!!" Doremi shouted, trying to pull me away from what I was doing, but my mind was made up.
"If you can hear me..." I held my crystal into the air. "...take my life instead of hers."
The crystal began to glow a bright green.
"This... is my wish."
With that, a swirl of green music notes surrounded me as my crystal floated into the air, eventually breaking into three pieces and showering the still Momoko with a shower of sparkles. The instant my crystal shattered, I lost all feeling and fell straight to the ground. My hearing had clearly left me, otherwise I would have heard the anguished cries of the other Ojamajos. My final thought was...
'Momoko... Aishiteru...'
At that point, Momoko, who had just been revived by my wish, slowly opened her eyes and looked around. "Oh, man, my head..."
That's when she noticed my still body. Gasping in horror, she ran up to me and began shaking me in an attempt to wake me up. No such luck, unfortunately.
"Kellysi-chan? Kellysi-chan, please wake up!" Momoko shouted, tears filling her eyes. "Please! Please..."
"It's no use, Momo-chan," Doremi explained. "He used his wishing crystal and took his life so you could have yours."
"Nick... did that... for me?" Momoko repeated, using my first name for the very first time.
"That stupid fake Onpu took you out, but Kellysi-chan used his crystal and saved you," Doremi continued, pointing to my crystal, which was in three pieces right next to my still form. A couple inches away, my now-dead Jewelry Poron lay there. Momoko walked over and picked it up with her free hand. As soon as my wand went into Momoko's grip, it regained its radiant green glow.
"Nick did all this for me..." Momoko said to herself. "I guess it's up to me to make sure his sacrifice isn't for nothing."
Momoko stood in a firm stance, dual-wielding both her wand and mine. Doremi smiled. "You wanna lead, Momo-chan?"
"I'd love to," Momoko responded, taking the unofficial leadership of the group.
(end flashback and Nick's P.O.V.)
Chapter 1: The Act of Rebellion (Pearl Perspective, Momoko's P.O.V.)
I looked into Nick's sapphire eyes. They were still so soothing to me...
"I was so worried about you, Nick," I continued, reminiscing on that day. I could clearly remember all the nuisances that tried to get in our way and how easily I had disposed of them...
(flashback)
The shadow creatures just kept on coming, but I wasn't going to let them stop me. I swiftly swung both of the Jewelry Porons like they were swords, easily dispatching anything that tried to stand in my way. I could tell that the others were impressed.
"Momo-chan! Look out!" Doremi shouted, pointing ahead of me. I turned on the spot, seeing a larger creature flying towards me.
I quickly readied the wands and tossed them like a boomerang towards the flying shadow creature. The spinning wand quickly made its mark, vaporizing the creature before returning to my hand.
Once the shadows were gone, I heard a very familiar voice.
"Well, well. I never thought I'd see you again," the fake Onpu stated, appearing in a swirl of music notes. The real Onpu was being held behind the faker, in a chain of dark music notes. "Didn't I take care of you?"
"Nick brought me back," was my simple reply.
"Oh, I see," the fake Onpu shot back. "I guess I could go for that."
I held both Jewelry Porons tight, ready to counter if she tried anything stupid.
"Do you really think you can defeat me?"
"I don't think, faker," I challenged. "I swear, I will wipe the floor with you. Nick would have done the same thing."
"Right, then," the fake Onpu shot back. "Shall we?"
(end flashback)
"That faker was definitely stronger than I thought," I continued.
"Yeah. You told me she fought just like the real Onpu," Nick replied.
"Even with both of our wands, I STILL couldn't believe I got my butt kicked by that little copy..."
"I came to save you then. Remember?" Nick continued.
"I can't believe that thought actually got through to the queen," I remembered, going into another flashback...
(flashback)
I fell to the ground, thoroughly exhausted from our little battle. MAN! This faker was good...
"Hey, yellow witch. I thought you said you were gonna wipe the floor with me," the fake Onpu taunted. I couldn't do much except just sit there, trying to catch my breath.
"Excuse me... for... for being weak..." I shot back.
"I'm SO going to enjoy eliminating you again," the fake Onpu stated, raising her Dark Jewelry Poron above her head.
"And this time, your little boyfriend doesn't have a special wish to save your butt," the fake Onpu shouted.
I could only stare on in the face of my impending demise. She was absolutely right. The others had already used their wish crystals.
The only thought that ran through my head was...
'I just wish I could bring you back, Nick. I'm sorry...'
(end flashback)
"I thought I was done for," I continued. "She was just about to kill me had you not come back."
"I guess the queen was feeling sympathetic towards the wish I'd made," Nick noted. "And she knew that you were about to die..."
(flashback)
Back where Nick was, all of a sudden, a spiral of green music notes spun around him for a few seconds. When they cleared, Nick stood on his feet, trying to comprehend what had just happened.
"Wait a minute. I'm alive?" Nick asked himself. "That's impossible! I sacrificed my own life to bring Momoko back! What's going on here?"
'It's because Momoko needs your help.'
Nick almost instantly recognized that voice. "Your Majesty?" he said to nobody in particular. "I thought you didn't reverse wishes made on our crystals!"
'Well, in this case, my impatient wizard, I made an exception. Momoko is in trouble, and you are the only one who can save her.'
In front of Nick, a brand new magic wand appeared. The handle seemed to resemble something he'd seen in that video game he'd been playing the past few days (Author's Note: The handle is basically that of the Oathkeeper keyblade), and the main wand appeared to be a sort of staff with an orb in the center that housed his fairy,
"Cool," Nick stated, sliding his hand through the handle of his new wand and gripping it tightly.
'Go. Momoko needs your help. And, for the record, I think you two make a cute couple.'
"Thanks, Your Majesty. You gave me this second chance. I won't let you OR Momoko down," Nick stated, charging off to the battlefield.
(back to the battle)
"And this time, your little boyfriend doesn't have a special wish to save your butt," the fake Onpu shouted.
I could only stare on in the face of my impending demise. She was absolutely right. The others had already used their wish crystals.
The only thought that ran through my head was...
'I just wish I could bring you back, Nick. I'm sorry...'
I braced myself as the fake Onpu swung her wand.
CLANG!
I looked around in confusion. That wasn't the sound I'd expected. I looked up, and my frown turned into a wide smile; Nick was there, using what appeared to be a new wand to hold the faker back.
"What? YOU?" the fake Onpu shouted.
"What can I say? I just die hard," Nick shot back, deflecting the fake Onpu's wand and slamming his own into the faker, knocking her back.
"Is it... is it really you, Nick?"
"Would I lie to you, Momo-chan?" Nick replied, readying his wand, the aptly named 'Promise Poron', for battle.
(end flashback)
"I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen you there, Nick," I continued, finishing up our little tale.
"That just proves I'd do anything to see you happy, Momoko," Nick replied.
My eyes began to fill with tears. He was such a sweetie...
"I love you, Nick."
"I love you, too, Momoko."
Before I could say anything else, we heard a knock at the door. I held up my Jewelry Poron, just in case.
"Kellysi-chan? Momo-chan? Is that you?"
That voice I instantly recognized. "Onpu-chan?"
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Next time:
Chapter 2: Escape to the Majo-kai
After meeting up with Onpu, the three apprentices make their way to the Majo-kai in hopes of procuring some answers.
