Hello everyone! It's leDia-chan, here with another story! Please note I type usually each chapter on my DSi, so it takes time to get each chapter ready. Thanks for reading and enjoy! Note: Please read my first story, "Shugo Chara! New World!" before this, as this story takes place after it.

I don't own PreCure. If I did, then I wouldn't need to be writing a fanfic.

「Episode 1: Fresh-catch! Glowing Hearts Start!"」 「Opening: Love and Joy」


"Attention class, we have two new students!" The teacher called. Love's attention snapped up. They didn't get transfers that often, and two of them?

The one that caught her attention first was short, maybe a head shorter than she was. The girl had long, lime-greenish blonde hair that fell to just above her waist, framing bright, strawberry red eyes. She bounced on her heels slightly as if excited.

"This is Chay" The teacher said, indicating the short girl. She waved happily. (A/N: Chay is pronounced Kay, just to let you know)

The girl next to her was of average height and had brown hair tied into two curly ponytails, which were tied with long black ribbons that fell to her shoulders. Grey eyes remained ever watchful of the room. The girl held an air of indifference, almost boredness, as if she had gone through this many times.

"This is Mayne" The girl inclined her head slightly, but otherwise continued surveying the room.

"You two may find seats near Love and Setsuna," the teacher said, indicating the empty seats. Chay bounded over, taking the seat next to Love. Mayne ended up with the seat next to Setsuna, and she instantly cringed. to Mayne, it appeared like her aura was slightly dark, not enough to be evil, but still there.

~.:Later:.~

Love twisted and turned in her bed, hands kneading the blanket around her. Her eyes flickered back and forth, indicating a dream, or perhaps a nightmare.

~.:Dream:.~

Two Cures stood before her. One had an outfit that was white accented with bright lime green; a sleeveless top, ruffled skirt, and knee high boots. Bangles rested around her wrists, and her silvery hair that fell past her waist was held into place by a lime green butterfly clip.

The other Cure faced away from Love's point of view. The girl had a black long sleeved top that was cut evenly at the collarbone. A white ruffled skirt accented with black matched knee high boots. White bangles hung on her wrists. Love felt a pang of familiarity as she noticed the Cure had white hair pulled up into two curly ponytails, tied with black ribbons that fell a good four inched below her shoulders.

"Suprised?" The new girl, Mayne-chan asked.

The scene shifted, and the two Cures were standing back to back, along with three other blurred forms. Their attacks against whatever they were attacking were muffled, so Love couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Suddenly, a bright white light enveloped them and Love was sucked in as well.

She found herself in a bright yellow colored space, just drifting. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned. Mayne-chan in the Cure outfit was behind with a finger to her lips, signalling her to not say anything.

"You can't tell anyone. It's our little secret."

~.:End Dream:.~

Love sat up, gasping.

"Love!" Tart said, being flinged off the bed by Love jerking up.

"Oh! Sorry Tart!" Love said, "I didn't notice you there!"

"It's okay. But I thought something was wrong when you started saying 'Come back' over and over again." Love frowned to herself. Her dream hadn't been anything like that.

"It was nothing Tart," Love reassured him.

"Anyways Love. There's another key!" Tart exclaimed happily, brandishing a small green crystal sphere. (A/N: I know those key things have names, I just don't care to look up the name, so I will call it a key, kay?)

"That's not a key Tart."

"This is a different type of key. It stays in this form until it finds its respective Cure, and then it changes into the key!" Love took the sphere, holding it in her hands. It felt slightly warm as if it had been handled a lot.

'I need to talk to those two,' Love thought, clenching the sphere in her hand.

~.:After School:.~

"Hey! You two!" Love shouted at Chay and Mayne who were walking away from her, down a path. They both turned toward her.

"Tell me what you know about this," she said, opening her hand to reveal the green sphere. Chay reached toward it, but stopped short.

"May I?" she asked. Love nodded. Chay took it into her hands, marveling at its smooth surface. Nothing happened.

Tart poked his head out of Love's bag, "Aw, and I though something would happen!" Chay drew in a sharp breath, but Mayne had her usual look of indifference, which puzzled Love.

"It's quite pretty, really. but I don't think," Mayne started saying, speaking for the first time. A scream shattered the air behind them. Love turned around and ran back up the path, both Chay and Mayne on her heels. Standing before them was a giant monster tree, towering over fleeing students. Inori, Setsuna and Miki came running from near the school.

"We were just coming to meet you when we heard the monster!" Inori said, out of breath.

"Shall we?" Love said. The three nodded. A moment later, they appeared in their Cure forms.

"Cure Peach!"

"Cure Pine!"

"Cure Berry!"

"Cure Passion!"

~.:Few Minutes Later:.~

The four Cures attacks on the monster seemed to have no affect on the giant tree. The monster seemed to gain even more strength with each punch or kick. In contrast, the girls appeared to be tiring.

After a moment, the four girls dropped down, each panting from their efforts.

"We can't do anything!" Berry said worriedly.

"It's as if it's taking the energy away from us," Passion mused quietly. They nodded.

While they were taking a moment to get their breath back, the monster turned towards them, gave them a glare, and then disappeared.

"What?" Peach cried,"We didn't do anything!"

"Look!" Pine said, pointing to where the monster had been. Falling slowly through the air, as if in honey, was three small shards of purplish glass.

"Mayne-chan!" Peach said, grabbing Mayne's wrist as Mayne tried to run to catch the shards, "We don't know what those are!"

"But," Mayne said softly, struggling to free her wrist. Succeeding, she ran the where the shards were falling, catching them in her hands.

The fours Cures and Chay ran up behind her. While their gaze was focused on Mayne, they didn't notice another person flicker into existence in front of Mayne. The person stepped forward and grabbed Mayne's wrist, pulling her after him.

A wave of pure black energy exploded out from the two, blocking the other five from getting to them, and throwing them back.

"Let me go!" Mayne said, struggling.

"No!" The boy/person said angrily, "You have the Heart Shards!"

"What are you talking about?" Mayne cried angrily.

The boy stopped and turned around, an angry look on his face.

"Why don't you, you caused all this!" The boy said. He paused and a look slid over his face, like he had realized something, "Oh." He said.


Chay: Next time on Fresh-catch! Glowing Hearts!

Love: Is Mayne-chan being kidnapped? Or is something else going on?!

Inori: Cure Lime appears!

All: Fresh-catch! Startling Discoveries!
