Candy gazed around the grand hallway, looking for her friends. Candy has white fur, with two curly yellow pigtail-like ears held with pink bows. Her eyes are dark blue, with yellow markings in the shape of wings near her eyes. She has pink and yellow heart-shaped markings on her forehead as well. Her arms and legs are stubby, and she has a frilled pink collar around her neck. Her tail is yellow and curly, like her ears. She finally heard voices from behind a door that she pushed open. There was a long table for her small size, and the room was filled with her friends: Mepple, Mipple, Pollun, Lulun, Flappy, Choppy, Moop, Foop, Coco, Nuts, Syrup, Tart, Chiffon, Chypre, Coffret, Potpourri, Hummy, and the Fairy Tones. To her disappointment, her brother was not there.
"Candy's here~nya!" Hummy ran over to her friend and they laughed and took their seats. In front of each of the fairies was a different kind of whistle.
"Now that everyone's here, let's begin~coco!" Coco called. Everyone settled down and turned their attention to Coco and Natts.
"As you all have noticed, the Miracle Lights are a great success to the Pretty Cure~nutsu." Everyone cheered.
"We have come with an invention to further assist the Pretty Cure~coco. Before you all, you have a whistle for each of your respective teams~coco. Mepple, Mipple, Pullun, and Lulun, you have the seven heart shaped pink, black, and white whistles~coco."
"Flappy, Choppy, Foop, and Moop, you have the six star shaped magenta, lime, white, and blue whistles~nutsu."
"For Nuts, Milk, Syrup, and I, we have the nine butterfly shaped whistle with the pink, red, yellow, green, blue, and purple roses on them~coco."
"Chypre, Coffret, and Potpourri, you get the seven pink, aqua, yellow, and silver flower-shaped whistles~nutsu."
"Hummy, Dory, Rery, Miry, Fary, Sory, Lary, Tiry, and Dodory, you have the thirteen pink, white, yellow, and blue whistles that are shaped like music notes~coco."
"And Candy, you get the six tiara-shaped pink, red, yellow, green, and blue whistles~natsu. Each set of whistles makes a different, sharp sound that can be heard anywhere~natsu."
"Blow the whistle if you or your team is in grave danger~coco. And if we are nearby and hear it, come running~coco. We're always strongest together~coco!" Candy's Pretty Cure team didn't know the other teams, but something else was bugging her. She slowly raised her hand and spoke out.
"What about the rest of the Pretty Cures~kuru?" She asked. Everyone's heads spun to her.
"What other Pretty Cures~mepo?" Mepple asked. Candy started to get a little nervous with all the eyes on her.
"I was talking with Pop~kuru. And he said that there are so many fairy worlds out there, and when you find a fairy on Earth, you find Pretty Cures~kuru. He said there could be thousands of Pretty Cures all over the worlds~kuru!" Candy explained.
"There's so many Pretty Cure here in Japan~chopi." Choppy remarked.
"How many Pretty Cure do you think there are in…Russia!?" Coffret cried. Everyone started talking wildly about the possibility of millions of Pretty Cure.
"Quiet~nutsu!" Natts yelled loudly. Everyone went silent.
"If other Pretty Cure do turn up, we'll hold another meeting~coco. Until then, meeting dismissed~coco." Everyone began to leave, Candy being the last. She felt somewhat guilty for starting up an uproar during the meeting.
Candy got lost twice before she found her way out. She carried all six of the whistles around her neck, only one of them actually her size, and the rest dragging behind her. She couldn't walk fast with all of them dragging her behind. She knew she would have a ways to go before she arrived at Miyuki's house. It was a nice, sunny day. Summer was here.
She walked along the beach, enjoying the nice sea breeze, wishing for the others to be with her. As Candy made her way across the beach, the temperature was rising quickly. She was getting very hot and very tired.
"Candy! Candy!" Miyuki's voice called. Candy looked around, hoping for Miyuki to save her. Miyuki, a short girl with short pink hair in cone-shaped rolls and yellow bows, ran to the fairy in the surf, wearing a frilly pink swimsuit.
"Miyuki~kuru! Thank goodness you're here~kuru!" They embraced happily.
"What are these whistles?" Miyuki asked.
"If you're in trouble, blow the whistle and other Pretty Cure will come running to save you~kuru!" She handed Miyuki the pink whistle.
"There are other Pretty Cure!?" Miyuki cried.
"Of course~kuru!"
"Wow…" Miyuki smiled and looked to the sky. "I wonder how many there are out there…I want to meet them all! We could all be friends! Ohhh, just thinking about it is making me ultra happy! Think of how happy we'd all be if we met!" Miyuki went on happily.
"Where is everyone~kuru?"
"We all agreed to meet here at the beach. I've got the perfect spot here!" Miyuki pointed to her bag and towel that lies under some shady palm trees. "It's supposed to be really hot today!" They walked over and settled themselves over the palm trees. People began arriving, but Akane, Yayoi, Nao, and Reika were not showing up. Miyuki began to worry, as she and Candy watched the surfing contest.
"I hope they're okay…" Miyuki muttered.
"Me too~kuru… What if they got hit by a bus~kuru!?"
"Or Wolfurun and Akanbe has them!"
"Or maybe they got a hold of another one of Majorina's weird inventions~kuru!" The pair began to panic, exclaiming possible reasons of their friends' absences.
"I'm going to look around the beach. Maybe they got lost." Miyuki stood up and began to search the busy beach, looking for her friend's faces. There was no sign of them at all. Miyuki looked high and low, but then she bumped into someone. The girl turned around. She wore a frilly pink bikini. Her hair was dirty blonde with some red ribbons in it and she has hazel eyes. Around her neck was a pink seashell locket. When she turned around, their gazes locked on each other. It was for the briefest moment that they actually knew each other before hand, like there was a strong connection or bond between them. That quickly ended.
"Sorry!" They both cried at the same time. "No, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry! Stop doing that!" They kept speaking at the same time. The two girls fell silent.
"I'm sorry. I should've watched where I was going. I was looking for my friends." Miyuki said sheepishly.
"It's okay. I was kind of standing there in the way." They both giggled.
"I'm Hoshizora Miyuki."
"My name's Nanami Luchia. Nice to meet you!" Miyuki smiled.
"It's very nice to meet you too!"
"So you said you were looking for your friends? Maybe I can help?" Miyuki's smiled broadened to a big grin. She nodded once.
"Yes! Thank you so much! That'll make me ultra happy!" Miyuki took her hands. "I am forever in your debt!"
"'Ultra…happy?'" Luchia repeated. She smiled. "You're so weird. But my friends are weird too, so it's okay!" At once, the pair set off searching for Miyuki's friends. "So, um, what do your friends look like?" Luchia asked.
"Well, they all have distinctive hair colors. They have good, strong hearts and are very kind!" Miyuki explained.
"And…how many are we looking for?" Luchia wondered if Miyuki and her friends were mermaids as well. Luchia stared at Miyuki. Her hair was a dark pink, so Luchia wondered if she was even from her kingdom. But usually human hair color and mermaid hair color is different. And most of the mermaids in her kingdom have blonde hair, with the exception of her older sister.
"Four! Akane, Yayoi, Nao, and Reika!" Miyuki described. For about an hour, they searched the entire beach at least four times, and with no luck. Miyuki began to worry, but Luchia kept reassuring her.
"We'll find them! I promise!" Luchia reassured. This raised Miyuki's spirits, but deep down, she had a feeling that her friends were not okay. Suddenly, it began to grow silent among the beach. Miyuki and Luchia looked up, and then gasped. Everyone on the beach was on his or her knees, surrounded in a purple-black aura. They were muttering depressing words.
"Kaito!" When Miyuki was about to tell Luchia to run, Luchia had already run off to the other end of the beach. Miyuki spun around to come face to face with a surfboard blue-nosed Akanbe.
"Akanbe!" Miyuki screamed and began to run to find Candy, hoping she was still waiting by the tree.
"Miyuki~kuru! Miyuki~kuru!" Candy called, jumping up and down. "You're being chased by an Akanbe~kuru!" She called.
"Thanks for letting me know!" Miyuki yelled sarcastically.
"Miyuki, transform~kuru!"
"Oh, right!" Candy face-palmed herself. Miyuki put her Cure Décor piece in her Smile Pact.
"Ready?" asked the Smile Pact.
"Pretty Cure! Smile Charge!" Miyuki cried.
"Go!" called the Smile Pact. "Go! Go! Let's go, Happy!" Miyuki transformed into Cure Happy, and landed.
"Kirakira Sparkling light of the future! Cure Happy!" Cure Happy introduced, posing. Cure Happy noticed that the dark energy was going straight into the water. Cure Happy was confused, wondering who was in charge of this Akanbe.
"Akanbe!" Akanbe tried to flatten Cure Happy multiple times. Cure Happy dodged by inches, but she came to the realization that she was alone, and it was a blue-nosed Akanbe. Then, a man with large bat wings, a white top and blue skirt and long dark red-purple hair pulled back emerged from the water.
"You're not a mermaid princess." He said.
"Mermaid…princess?" Cure Happy asked, as she fought the Akanbe.
"Akanbe, capture her!"
"Akanbe!" The Akanbe shot his blue nose at Cure Happy. She dodged.
"Candy! The whistle! Blow the whistle!" Cure Happy screamed. She was hit by another blue nose, and she was trapped inside it, as it turned transparent. She banged and kicked on the walls.
"Sunny! Peace! March! Beauty!" She called for. The man laughed.
"You're friends can't help you now. So tell me, who are you?" He asked. He landed and circled her.
"Did you really just miss my big introduction?" Cure Happy asked.
"Sorry." He was more amused than apologetic.
"Ha~ppu~ppu…" said Cure Happy, disappointed. "I'm the Pretty Cure, Cure Happy!" She reintroduced.
"I am the wings of love and pleasure. Lady Bat." Cure Happy continued to kick at her case, ignoring him.
"Sorry, I missed that. What did you say?" She asked innocently.
"Grr…. I'll show up! Listen to my song!" Music started up around him, and then he began to sing, "Ankoku no Tsubasa." Cure Happy began to fall into a sleep-like trance. She could feel nothing. There was no pain, nor was there happiness. She couldn't move a muscle; her mind was telling her that she doesn't want to. And then Cure Happy lost her powers, and returned to Miyuki.
"Pink Pearl Voice!" Miyuki looked, and saw her new friend Luchia, transform into an outfit that resembles a pink idol. Her hair was now light blonde and in long pigtails and her eyes are bright blue. She was in a white glowing bubble.
"Luchia…? Eh!? There is other Pretty Cure!" Miyuki exclaimed.
"Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!" Luchia began, and she brought a blue microphone with a pink pearl in it to her lips. She began to sing, "Legend of the Mermaid." Miyuki began to cheer her on like a cheerleader.
"Go, Luchia, go! Go, Luchia, go!" Miyuki cheered happily with Candy. It was having some effect on Lady Bat. He back to wince and cry out in pain. He tried to block it out, but it was no use. Miyuki rejoiced, and then her case began to crack. She stepped back from the crack, and the case around her shattered.
"Love Shower Pitch!" Luchia pointed a finger at Lady Bat, and a heart flew out. "Would you like an encore?" Miyuki clapped.
"Yes! Encore! That made me feel ultra happy!" Miyuki called. Luchia turned and froze. "Encore, Luchia! Encore!"
"I thought you were in the trance…" Luchia muttered.
"I was, but you saved me from that Lady Bat… I had no idea you were a Pretty Cure!" Miyuki ran over to her, and took her hands that were in pink gloves.
"What's a Pretty Cure?" Miyuki's smile fell.
"What do you mean, 'What's a Pretty Cure?' Legendary warriors like you of course! Didn't you see you sing that song and get rid of that guy?" Miyuki asked, trying to remain cheerful.
"I'm still here." Lady Bat said. "That was a cute song, but no match to mine." Lady Bat smirked.
"Eh?! That didn't work!?" Luchia cried.
"Of course not. Yami has granted me new powers, and I can summon Akanbe to do the job for me!" Lady Bat laughed. Miyuki gasped and remembered the Akanbe was there. Akanbe began to shoot giant spiked beach balls at the pair. Luchia and Miyuki began to run, screaming. Luchia ran ahead of Miyuki. Miyuki noticed something. The Akanbe's nose had changed to red from Luchia's song.
Miyuki grinned, but that didn't last long when Luchia screamed and tripped.
"Kaito!" Luchia called for. Miyuki didn't know who this Kaito was, but Akanbe shot a spiked beach ball at her.
"No! Luchia!" Miyuki ran to save her. "I won't let you!" Miyuki ran in front of Luchia, arms spread out, and prepared herself for impact. "I won't let you take Luchia's happiness!" She screamed and squeezes her eyes tight. Just before impact, the words spilled out of Miyuki's mouth. "Pretty Cure! Smile Charge!" In a burst of pink sparkles, Miyuki was now Cure Happy.
"No way." Luchia said. Cure Happy was hit by the spiked ball and was sent flying high into the air, like the first time she ever became a Pretty Cure. She screamed, still not believing the height she had reached.
"I became a Pretty Cure again! I can protect Luchia now!" Miyuki realized. She turned and positioned her body, for a full kick into the Akanbe. Miyuki landed between the Akanbe and Luchia. "Kirakira, the light of the future! Cure Happy!"
"Cure…Happy…?" Luchia asked. She came into a hand to hand combat with the Akanbe, Cure Happy blocking every one of his moves. Akanbe began sending the spiked beach balls at Cure Happy and Luchia. Cure Happy kicked away each one, but the Akanbe was fast and Cure Happy was growing tired.
"Happy Shower~kuru! Happy Shower~kuru!" Candy called.
"What the heck is that!?" Luchia cried, looking at Candy.
"Right!" Cure Happy ignored Luchia's comment. "Spirit! Spirit! Spirit!" She said, closing her eyes tightly, willing all over her spirit into the Smile Pact. It began to glow pink. Cure Happy then uses both hands to draw a large pink heart in front of her, and concentrates the energy into a smaller heart. She then grabs the small heart with both hands, spins around and projects the energy at the Akanbe. The Akanbe's face turned happy and the red nose disappeared, but there was no Cure Décor left behind. Everyone that was under the spell now returned to normal.
"Wow! That was amazing!" Luchia cried. Cure Happy helped her up and they both returned to their normal human forms. "So you're a Pretty Cure."
"I am. I guess your not…but what are you…? A magical girl like us…" Miyuki then remembered Lady Bat mentioning a mermaid princess. "Are you a mermaid princess?" Miyuki asked. Luchia froze.
"Uh…yes…" Luchia prepared herself for when she turned into sea foam, but none of the sort happened.
"I didn't know that there was other magical warriors besides Pretty Cures!" Miyuki exclaimed. "Just thinking about all of the different ones…they all have different personalities…ohhh, I can't wait to meet them all! That makes me ultra happy! And you have to meet my friends! You'll love them!"
"That sounds like fun!" They laughed. "I'm sorry I didn't come earlier. My boyfriend was surfing and when Lady Bat came, he went for him. So I had to rescue him. Hippo's taking care of him now."
"Hippo?"
"My guardian."
"Luchia-san! Luchia-san! Someone has eaten all of our food in the picnic basket!" A small blue penguin with black eyes and is wearing a sailor uniform, came running. Miyuki looked up to see the bloated Candy lying under the palm trees. She looked extremely pleased and she hummed to herself.
"Candy!"
"I'm sorry~kuru…" Candy didn't seem apologetic. And so the penguin hippo and the fairy Candy got into an amusing argument over the food. Miyuki smiled, feeling relaxed and ultra happy, but wondered where her friends could be.
