Nagisa Misumi was walking around the street, searching for a gift for Honoka, her best friend and partner. Today was the special day: It was Christmas! However Nagisa haven't bought a gift yet for the blue haired girl since she was too busy taking care of Mepple and helping out at the Tako Café to get some money.
Nagisa sighed as she couldn't find a gift that she thinks that could make Honoka smile. Mepple then start moving and called out. "Nagisa, I'm hungry-mepo…we've been checking every shop so it makes me tired-mepo"
Mepple, always complaining. Nagisa look around just to be sure there was no people around. But just to be sure, she hid in an alleyway and took the cellphone like item were Mepple is. "Alright, alright…geez, stop complaining will you? I haven't even found the right gift for Honoka"
As Nagisa swipe a card, a bubble came floating and showed the chef and Mepple sitting in a small chair and a small table in front of him, drooling as he held his fork and knife. "What's for lunch-mepo?"
"Aahh, a Christmas edition" The chef proudly said, "Honey glaze turkey"
The chef opened the cover and showed the delicious turkey that also made Nagisa drool too. Mepple took a bite and then slowly gobbling it, "This is so delicious-mepo"
The chef bowed and lastly said before the bubble pop. "I am glad to satisfy you"
Nagisa's stomach grumbled. Must have felt hungry when she saw the turkey. Although she sighed, she didn't want to waste the money she had earned so hard. Nagisa shook her head and went back to the main street in search of a Christmas gift.
Honoka combed her silky blue hair, readying herself for a friend gathering later to celebrate Christmas. Nagisa had told her that she was going to be late which saddens her a bit. Although she was happy to chat with Mipple before meeting the others.
Honoka head out as she kiss Chuutarou, her pet dog, in the forehead and waved goodbye to her Grandma. Excited to meet the others, she have forgotten a special gift above her desk.
Honoka hum while Mipple gladly listen to it. It was the same tune, she and Nagisa sang at the school chorus with everyone in their class. The title was: Get You! Love Love?! Now that Honoka thought about Nagisa, she was really curious about the young athletic. Nagisa have been acting weird since last month. They haven't been going home or school together this past few days and she would always see Nagisa dozing off more often at class than before or Nagisa would always say she was busy and heading somewhere, leaving her feel distant from her. But she was a bit happy when Nagisa invited her to their friend gathering at Tako Café however disappointed when she suddenly said that she was going to be late.
Mipple notice the blue haired girl becoming quiet. Becoming lost at her thoughts, Mipple thought of asking the young girl.
"Honoka-mipo" Mipple called out.
"Hmm…" Honoka heard the call and look down at her little friend, "Is something the matter Mipple?"
"No-mipo" Mipple said, "Although, I should be asking the one asking you that question-mipo"
With a small hesitation, she soon realize that Mipple was just worried about her because of her being lost in her thoughts. She shook her head and replied with a sincere smile. "I'm alright Mipple, thank you for worrying about me. It's just that I was a bit sadden about Nagisa being too distant"
"Being distant-mipo?" Mipple ask confuse.
Honoka nod. "It's not like she's being distant, more like she's hiding something"
Mipple couldn't think of an answer to her reply. Because she knew what was going on, thanks to Mepple's sudden gossip about the surprise. She just hope they'll be there soon when they get there. "Don't worry-mipo, I'm sure Mepple will watch over her-mipo"
"Yeah, Nagisa isn't like that" Hesitant at first, Honoka agreed and smiled at the fairy, "She would tell us if something was bothering her"
As Honoka talk to Mipple, going to the Tako Café, they have forgotten someone important at Honoka's house. Chuutarou was just outside Honoka's house sniffing the familiar scent. Chuutarou bark as he went inside Honoka's room however Honoka's Grandma called out for him, leaving the door open.
A small device suddenly pop turning into a small white and green furry fairy name Pollun. Pollun yawned as he stretch his body. "Hmm, where is everybody-popo?"
He look around his surrounding and saw no one. Despite being smaller than Mepple or Mipple, Pollun was about to cry, showing huge blob of water in his eyes. He then start rolling and complaining by himself. "They left me-popo…Honoka-popo…Mipple-popo…"
As he cry in search for some presence he knew, Pollun saw a small box wrap beautiful in red wrappers and green ribbons. He then stood, sniffing a bit as he walk closely to the small box. Nagisa and the others have taught him about Christmas, a jolly event when it was the time to snow, where kids believe in Santa Claus, who would give presents to every good kids around the world, does Snow Angel in the snow or maybe skiing or snowball fight. It was a day full of fun, he was told. And he was sure that red and green are the main color theme for Christmas.
Pollun took it and scanned it. He then realize it was Honoka's writing because of how it was gracefully written. "Honoka forgot it-popo, I must give it to her-popo"
Pollun took the box and carried it behind his back, seeing as the door was open, he immediately went outside and look around. Successfully, he is now outside of the house, Pollun acknowledge himself because of the achievement of being able to get out without being seen although it wasn't a bad idea to celebrate early until Pollun got himself wondering how did he get to the main streets without himself noticing, well it's because he overestimated himself a bit. Pollun sigh, just how far could Honoka and the others would be?
"Oh no-popo" Pollun thought, "What am I gonna do-popo?"
"Alright!" Nagisa cheered as she pump her fist. Holding in her hand was a small light blue box containing her gift for Honoka. She couldn't believe she did it in time. As the time goes by, she was panicking little by little, thinking negative but thanks to Mepples' help, she found the right gift that fits the blue haired girl.
"We should get going-mepo" Mepple remind, "You'll be late if you don't start moving"
Looking at her watch, Mepple is right, she's twenty minutes late. After a bit of screaming, Nagisa ran as fast as she could. "I can't believe this!"
Far away, Pollun heard the familiar scream. Happy, Pollun called out. "Nagisa-popo, Mepple-popo"
Stopping at her tracks, Nagisa look back and saw Pollun, smiling as he held the item. "Pollun!"
Nagisa kneel as she carried Pollun and the item. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be staying at Honoka's house and what are you holding?"
Despite being barraged by question, Pollun remembered hearing that this gift was for the person in front of him. He sweat drop, trying to think of a way for Nagisa not to know. However Mepple have beat him to it.
Mepple wink at Pollun, he notice the young prince in trouble. "Looks like its Honoka's handwriting-mepo"
"Oh, she must have left it then so you're here to give it to her" Nagisa smiled, "Thank you Pollun but I could give it to her if you like"
"No!" Both fairy said in unison, startling the orange haired.
"What do you mean no?" Nagisa ask dumb found.
The two fairy tried to think of an answer, luckily Nagisa once more look at her watch and start running once more. "Never mind, we could give it to her later when we get there"
After sighing in relief, Mepple whispered to Pollun a plan to make sure Nagisa never finds out until the end of the day. And they called it Operation: Presents.
Honoka look at her watch, sighing. Nagisa isn't here yet and she was starting to get worried. What if a Zakenna appeared and she wasn't there to help? Or she's already captured and trying to negotiate with her? Honoka shook her head. What was she doing, Nagisa is strong enough to distract the Dark Zone and Mipple would have told her about it.
Her worries disappear when she heard a familiar voice calling out for her. "Honoka!"
Honoka was greeted by the orange haired smile. Tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. With her insticts, Honoka ran and tackled her partner tightly.
"H-honoka!?" Nagisa said startled.
Found a chance, Mepple instruct Pollun to get the present inside Honoka's bag. Polllun and Mepple immediately opened the bag but quiet enough not to notice and with the help of Mipple, they've placed it inside and successfully close it. The three fairy whispered their cheers and waited to watch the outcome.
"I miss you…"Honoka sniffled.
Dense, Nagisa just hug back and tries to comfort the blue haired girl with soft words that only the two of them could hear. "It's alright…I'm here"
After the small moment, Honoka let go then Nagisa wipe her tears and gave an assuring smile. "Hey, how are you?"
Honoka being red after crying, did a slight punch at Nagisa's shoulder who respond with an "Ow, what was that for!?"
"F-for everything you've done since last month" Honoka straightforwardly said as she pouted.
Trying to remember what was it. Nagisa stir her head still confuse. Honoka sighed. Why does she always have to wait for the orange haired to realize it? However that what also makes Nagisa interesting. In spite of being sporty, boyish or unintelligent, Nagisa is brave, strong and always there to make everyone happy. She was grateful to meet Nagisa not as only her partner but also as her closest best friend.
"Ahh, sorry…sorry, I didn't mean to keep you hanging" Nagisa bluntly said. "Don't misinterpret me, I just need some money to buy a gift and then I couldn't get some time off since I was so determined to get you one and…"
It hit Honoka hard, she didn't notice how hard Nagisa was working to get a simple gift. She totally misunderstood her. She hid her face, feeling guilty for thinking negative of her friend. Nagisa could hear the quiet whimper of the blue haired once more, she once more comforted her.
Nagisa couldn't help but feel helpless as she watch her partner, crying. She blamed herself for making Honoka misread for the things she had been doing. In pain, Nagisa thought of cheering Honoka by changing the subject.
Nagisa let go of Honoka slowly and took something from her bag, it was the small present she bought "Here" she took Honoka's palm and placed it then close it.
Honoka look at her face to face. Nagisa was blooming with happiness. "Nagisa…"
She smiled back and immediately took her gift and gave it to Nagisa. "Here's my gift for you"
Mepple and the others sighed in relief. They look at each other and smiled, feeling proud as they have successfully got the gift to its rightful place.
"Let's open it" Nagisa said.
"At the count of three" Honoka replied.
With their hands on the gift while looking at each other. Both of them count off in unison. "One…Two…Three!"
When they opened it, they look in awe and in surprise. Unexpectedly, both of their gift were the same: A half Yin Yang necklace. Honoka got the half Yin necklace while Nagisa got the half Yang necklace.
"Wow, I did not expect this happening" Nagisa chuckled.
Honoka nod in agreement. Who could have thought they would buy the same thing? "Neither did I"
"Shall I attach it to you?" Nagisa offered.
"Sure" Honoka then gave the necklace to Nagisa and brought her hair up for Nagisa to see.
When Nagisa was about to put the necklace, she notice Honoka's white soft skin so she thought of complimenting her. "You always have beautiful and soft skin Honoka"
Couldn't help but feel flattered, Honoka blush a bit and stuttered, "What are you talking about? You have a nice smile that could make anyone smile too no matter the hardship"
Nagisa have fasten the lock then went into deep thinking. "I didn't notice you and everyone thought about me"
"Really?" Honoka said surprise, "Well that makes us even then"
Chuckled by Honoka, Nagisa have already put her necklace on her. Nagisa sat down the bench "Well, if that's what you think but most importantly is our bond not as only as Precure but as friends who sticks together to aid our weaknesses"
Regardless of what Nagisa had said. Honoka was overwhelm with happiness. Like she had said a while ago this is what she loved about the orange haired. Honoka scoot over beside Nagisa and lay her head at her shoulder. "Your right…again, Merry Christmas Nagisa"
Honoka couldn't see Nagisa's face but she knew she was grinning wildly, knowing she was there to support her. "Merry Christmas too Honoka"
OMAKE
Shiho, Rina and Akane were behind a bush far away a bit from Nagisa and Honoka.
Shiho was giggling which worried Rina a bit. "Hey Shiho, how long do we need to spy on them?"
"Just a bit longer" Shiho said as she start writing something on a pad of paper.
Curious, Akane thought of asking. "What are you writing?"
Shino hid the pad of paper in her jacket and immediately went close to Akane and Rina's face. "This is top secret, so you better not tell anyone" she whispered.
Both of them raising their eyebrow, they just casually nod, wanting to know what was the reason of their hiding. "Okay" Shiho began, "I'm spying on them because I think there is more than meets the eye"
"What do you mean?" Rina ask.
Shiho chuckled mischievously which creep out the others. "They are not only friends but are going to another level of relationship that is forbidden and are doing it secretly!"
"So you're saying that they're dating?" Rina ask.
"And it's forbidden because they're girls and it's impossible for girls to marry or whatsoever love related" Akane added.
"Yes, yes, yes! This is why I must watch over them for the world to know" Shiho stood and screamed, "That my NagiHono OTP is my number one ship!"
Without realizing, Honoka called out. "There you are"
"We've been waiting for you" Nagisa said.
Shiho, who felt like she lost something went totally blank then ran, "I'll be right back!"
At a super-fast pace, dust were sprinkling the air which leaves a confuse Nagisa and Honoka.
"W-what just happened?" Nagisa ask.
"You don't wanna know…"Rina sigh.
