Episode 4: Something We Do Not know. PreCure Academy is a School for Precures!?

"N-No. This cannot be true!"

I said with a gasp, while is walking down the street. Many of monsters are attacking the town, making most of the buildings collapse. Kaki and I, looking from a far. We start to run after them, without hesitating. They gather in our school and starting to destroy the surroundings and everyone. We runs into the school, transform and fight them, one by one. Finally they are all disappear, and the town is saved once again.

"Pure Heart, Lock on!"

"Yay! We winnin' 'gain!"

When it is finished, Kaki still in her Cure form, starting to run and laugh around. I gently smile for her, giggle a little bit. Suddenly a group of shadow appears in front of us, I thought it was a ghost at first, but I was wrong. It was our friends at the school, all of them come here to find out what is going on. They look very surprise at us, as they found out.

"M-Maki...Y-You are a Precure!?"

I can see one of those students, Nora stands in the front. She stares at us, a little scared. She starting to walk back, step by step...

"N-Nora, please! You are mistaken!"

"Don't try to fool me anymore, please."

"N-Nora...!"

Suddenly the other students starting to appear in front of us, they start to complaining about us and laugh.

"N-No..."

I start to be confuse, everything looks very scary. Everyone, surrounded us, with their scary faces. I hold my hands tightly, suddenly drop myself onto the floor shaking. My visions starting to fade away. I cannot stay standing anymore.

"Please stop! E-Everyone!-"

Please-!

With my eyes closed, I shout out loud, suddenly the surroundings end up with silence. I slowly open my eyes and look around, then I notice. I am lying on my bed in my room. That means what I have saw was just a dream...

"It was a...dream?"

My tears all over my eyes, ripping down to my chin, I wipe them all off with both of my hands. I put my hand on my forehead, closing my eyes. Starting to concentrate for what is the truth, my mind starts to scattered away...But it was just a dream...right...?

"Agh! Sis, 'elp me-!"

"E-Eh?"

Kaki suddenly jumps from her bed into me, hugging me tight and scream. I put my hand as it was on my forehead, on her shoulder and shake her body to wake her up.

"K-Kaki! W-Wake up!"

As I shake her body, Kaki then stops screaming and her movement. Slowly puts her hands down and opens her eyes. Starting to yawn so many times and stares at me with a tired looking, while touching her messy hair with her hand.

"What-What th' heck's goin' on."

"I-I had a nightmare..."

"What nightymare?"

"Eh? L-Let us see..."

As she asked, I start to explain everything to her as she pick up the comb that we shared together and combs her hair. I explain while she is combing her hair, the more I explained, she starts to be a little surprise of what happened in my dream. Kaki suddenly hit the bed with both of her hands in front of me.

"Wha!? Ya dreamin' zat our friends findin' out zat' we're Precure!?"

But suddenly as she hits the bed with both of her hands, the comb that she was holding onto bounce back into her face.

"A-Aw! Dangit!"

"A-Are you alright?"

I say as I approach her and grab her hands with both of my hands before she touches her face with them, then I go to the cupboard in my room and pick up a first-aid kit. I slowly put on some plaster on the spot where the comb hit her.

"Nah, me fine. Thankies sis'!"

She says as she picks up the comb and throw it away to the other side of the room. Then she turns back and stares at me with her smiley face.

"It...It was so scary..."

"Me was goin' t' tell ya zat' me too! Me dreamin'd th' same thingy as ya!"

"Eh? Really?"

"Yea, me wonderin' why we havin' lots of nightymares r'cently."

"Good morning, Maki-chan, Kaki-san..."

A sudden soft, gentle voice cut through Kaki's loud voice. We turns around to the voice, stop talking. Kylie, in her fairy form, she flies over our head, starting to yawn for many times.

"Yo, Kylie. G'mornin'!"

Said Kaki as she raises her hand up into the air. But Kylie totally ignores her and comes closer to me.

"What? Today's Saturday? Why you two up so early?"

"Nope! Y'know, nightymares. We havin' lots of those r' cently."

"Yeah, sometimes I have...nightmares...This bed is so soft..."

Kylie starts yawning and look at us with her sleepy face. Finally, she lies herself on my bed and then sleeps again. Kaki and I look at her and giggle.

"Sleepy lil' Kylie, eh?"

"She must be very tired after she helped us cleaning the town centre."

"Ooh! It musta b' real tired to do zat' thingy!"

To think of that time when she and Kasey helped us to clean the town centre, it must be very tired to use one's power to clean that enormous place, I thought in my mind. Maybe we will let her rest until she feels better. When I thought that, the door suddenly open, catching everyone's attention.

"Maki, Kaki. Breakfast is ready. Don't forget to take a bath my dear."

Our mother walks into our room, holding our towels smiling. She tells us with her soft, gentle voice to have breakfast when we finished taking a bath.

"Yay yay! Breakfast!"

Kaki shouts out loud and rushes downstairs with her towel. She always love having breakfast. Mother then turns around to where Kaki ran to.

"Rushes for breakfast as always, aren't her."

Mother smiles gently for Kaki, looking at her for a far. Then she opens her hand to me, asking me to go downstairs together. I put my hand on hers and smiles.

When everyone finished taking a bath, we start having breakfast together. Everyone sits in their spots and stares at their breakfast. Today our mother made us some chocolate pancakes and are our favorite, since we were young.

"I like these pancakes so much! Thank you, Mune-san!"

"My, thank you for your compliment. I'm happy that you liked it."

Kylie eats my mother's pancakes with joy, looks like she really loves them. Mother smiles for her as she eats almost all of her pancakes. Kaki moves aside her, smiles and giggles.

"Tee hee! Zat' wakin' ya up, eh? Sleepy rabbi'."

"I'm not a sleepy rabbit, Kaki-san! You are so mean!"

While everyone's giggling, I notice that there is another set of breakfast besides my mother. It wasn't for Auntie Yona, because she already left. I was a little confused about why mother always make another set of breakfast, although there's nobody else for us to wait.

"Eh...Um...Mother? Whose breakfast is that? I was just wondering... "

"Oh, don't mind it so much. I just...used to do that for someone..."

She says to me and starting to hold her hands tightly. Her expression starting to change, looked a little bit sad, but she still smiles.

"I-It's nearly time for you to go to school my dear. I'm going to collect the dishes and wash them."

Mother walks around and collects the dishes, brings them to the sink. I stand up and prepare myself for school. Kaki suddenly stands up and walks to Mother, I follow her along.

"Mama, me havin' somethin' t' askin' ya."

"Yes, Kaki?"

"Where's daddy?"

"-!"

When Kaki finishes her sentences, Mother suddenly drop one of the dishes she washed. The dish hits the floor and scattered into small pieces all over. Mother quickly drops herself onto the ground and gasps.

"Oh, my clumsiness! W-What have I done!"

"Mama?"

She looks very frightened, I have never see her in this expression. She tries to gather all of the fractures of the dish. But she is doing that carelessly and panic, unlike what she always does.

"Ow! N-Not again!"

One of the pieces cuts her finger. It starting to bleeds so much, that she looks very shocked.

"Mother! A-Are you alright!?"

As I see that happening, I quickly move myself towards her and let down on the floor. I try to grab her hand to see the wound, but somehow she quickly moves her hand away from me.

"N-No! I'm okay. It always happens to me."

"Let me help you, Mune-san"

Kylie walks in with her human form, she heals Mother until her wounds disappear. Mother rises her face and smiles to Kylie.

"Thank you, Kylie. You've remind me someone I knew"

As she said that, she quickly pushes herself up from the floor and somehow tries to hide her sights from me.

"Mama, what's m'tter wid ya? Eve'time we askin' ya 'bout him, ya always lookin' so baddie."

Kaki walks from behind to mother, but then she turns around from her and looks down.

"I-I...I think it's better to talk about this after school."

"That's right! We have to go to school first!"

When mother finishes her sentence, Kylie turns back into her fairy form and say to Kaki out loud.

"Yo righty, Kylie!"

Kaki said to her and turns around, picks up her backpack and starting to walk towards the door. As I see that, I walk along with her.

"Oh. Before you go. Could you buy a bouquet of flowers for your teachers? The shop is near the town centre."

Mother says as she hands us a note she written for the bouquet. I get the paper and stick it into my pocket.

"Aight! Roger zat'! Le' go t'gether, sis."

Kaki puts on her backpack and walk to the outside, I slowly put on my shoes and reach my hand for the door. Befor I could turn the doorknob, I notice that Kylie does not come along with us. I turn around to her and ask.

"Eh? Kylie, are you coming along?"

"W-Well, I don't think I'll have to go there again-"

Kylie says as she turns around in a different direction, like that she tries to hide her face or thinking of something.

"Yo scared 'f school, eh!"

"A-Ah-?!"

Kaki suddenly opens the door and said with her loud voice, I startled and moves away from the door as Kaki walks into the house again. Kylie quickly flies into Kaki and somehow looking very angry.

"A-Absolutely not!"

Kylie shouts to Kaki as she gets very angry at her, they start to fight each other with words. While Kylie and Kaki are quarreling each other. Mother, looking from afar smiling, then she walks toward them and puts her hand on Kylie's shoulder as she stops fighting with Kaki.

"Kylie, it is a good opportunity to learn. You should go with them."

"Mune-san...?"

Kylie turns around to her and stares at her. Then she starting to smiles as she turns into a human girl, giggling happily.

"Really? I can? Oh, yes I will!"

As she says that, she quickly runs to Kaki. Kaki stares at me and grins, then she opens the door, turning around to me.

"Le' go b'fore th' bell ringin'! Who gets t' th' shop last's a Biggie Loser!"

"See you there, Maki-chan!"

Kaki and Kylie starts to run out of the house as they finished their sentences. Myself, standing still as they left before I even get close to the door. I realized and quickly run as fast as I can and shout to them.

"Ehh! T-That is unfair! You two are so mean!"

"Wait."

A single word of Mother stops me from running after them and catches my attention. She starts to walk to me and puts both of her hands on my shoulders gently

"Eh? Do you have something...?"

"...If you are advised by a wiser one, please promise me that you will do as what she tells you to."

"E-Eh? What do you mean-?"

"-Promise me, Maiko! It's for your own sake...and the others."

I am confused by the words spoken by her, I could tell that she is serious through the reflection of me in her eyes. She lowers her hands down and smiles slightly. Her expression changes quickly, I smiles back to her as a respond.

"Mother...you just used my name...I feel happy whenever you call me with that name..."

"My, I think it has been a very long time since I last called you Maiko."

"Yes..."

Actually, my name is not Maki. My full name is Joumae Maiko, but people always read my name wrong. So we prefer people to call my name as Joume Maki, it is easier to read than the real one. So is Kaki, her full name is Joumae Kaiki, I don't know why, but I think her name is a little boyish.

"I'm sorry, Mai...But as the time went by, you should learn how to stand alone."

"I should learn...to stand alone?"

"You should know...no one will live with you forever. Neither your family, nor your friends."

"I...I know..."

I slowly lower my head, with a little tears. Mother touches my shoulders, suddenly she hugs my entire body tightly, my tears fall off my eyes as because of her sudden motion.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry that I put your life on risk...I shouldn't...I shouldn't leave you longing for him-"

Mother says as she starts crying, hugging my body firmly. My tears starting to ripping all over my eyes as I watch her.

"It's all of my fault! I shouldn't...I shouldn't even exist in this world-"

"Mother…"

She continues to mumble quietly, I hug her back tightly and start to let ourselves on the floor. She cries as I cry along with her, but quietly.

"Maki-cha-Eh?"

I can hear Kylie's voice as she opens the door and suddenly stop speaking her words. I could not move myself, but still crying besides my mother. She slowly dries her tears and releases me from her arms, walk away speechless. I stare at her as I wipe my tears off.

"Maki-chan!"

"E-Eh?"

Kylie calls out my name as she pokes on my shoulder. I turn around, she smiles towards me and turns around.

"Guess what, Kaki-san is now at the flower shop! We were waiting for you, so I came back here to pick you up!"

"Eh! That is right, we have a race did not we?"

"Yup! C'mon, let's go!"

She says as she turns the doorknob and walk outside along with me. Then she grabs my hand and starts to run to the flower shop with me.

We had a race to the flower shop, a little bit unfair can be called. Along the way as I run with Kylie, I notice something familiar about the flower shop. Finally it is crystal clear, it is actually the same place as when I first met that mysterious girl.

'Beware of what you have or what you have lost...Cure Lock-'

That sentence always echoes inside my head...I wonder why did she always help us? How did she know about us in the first place, although we just arrived in this town...?

I thought that in my mind as I slow down and start to walk.

"Oi! Ya two. Sooo slow!"

As I was called by a voice, stop thinking and look to where the voice came from. I can see Kaki, with both of her hands on her hip, staring at us.

"E-Eh. I-I am sorry, Kaki."

"Nah, 'least ya madeit here safie! Me gussin' now on, me call ya 'Biggie Loser'?"

"Ah! You are so mean!"

"Kiddin' Kiddin'!"

As Kaki says that to me, I stop being angry at and laugh instead. Kylie stares at us and starts laughing along.

Squeak Squeak-!

Suddenly a loud noise from behind us catches our attentions, the door of the flower shop opens by itself. We stare at each other, then to the door, then to each other again.

"What's wid tis' freakin' door?"

"It just opens by itself!"

Kylie says and walks to the door, I startled and walk beside Kaki, but still staring to the way where the door and Kylie are.

"T-That is scary!"

"Nah, sis. There's nothin' at all!"

Kaki says to me as she moves herself to the door, right beside Kylie, leaving me alone where I stand freezing. I tried to walk to them, but my fear is stronger than my courage. I could not force myself to walk to where they are, stop moving and stare into their smiley faces.

"Don't be afraid, Maki-chan. We're here with you."

Kylie says as she walks back to me and reaches her hand to me. I stare at her as she smiles to me gently.

"A-Are you sure that it is going to be okay…?"

"Of course! C'mon, let's go!"

She giggles, reaching her hand and grabs my hand. I slowly walk to the door with her hand on mine. Kaki also grabs my other hand and walk into the shop with us together. I am not afraid anymore.

As we enter the shop, suddenly the lights turn on. Beautiful flowers, all sorted in different shelves. This area is full of roses scent, a very nice aroma. We walk around and look at all of the flowers in this shop. It is very relaxing.

"Wait a min'. Did mama told us t' buy a bouquet o' flowers f' our teacher, with an 's' or nah?"

Kaki suddenly comes up with a question as she runs in front of me. I try to think, think and think...But I can't remember what mother told us.

"Ah...I do not think I can remember."

"What? Ya gota gold medal f' memorizing contest and ya can't rememberin' what she said half 'go?"

"B-But...I thought you will remember it, so I did not-"

"Me think ya always knowin' Me short-memorized. Do ya?"

"I-I..."

I try to explain my reasons to her, but she looks really mad at me. I can barely say the words in my head, because I am scared.

"Kaki-san, don't blame Maki-chan like that-!"

"Good morning, may I help you?"

Suddenly a soft, gentle voice cuts through the argument, we turn around to the voice. A handsome shopkeeper asks us. He looks very charming and cool. His bright purple eyes shine as he stares at us, his dark purple hair swiftly flowing in the wind leading us to see his charming smile. Kylie turns around and stares at him, never leave her eyes from him. She stares at him and smiles.

"He looks so handsome~ "

Kylie suddenly changes the subject as she lets down herself on the counter and stares at him continuously.

"H-Hi, we want a bouquet for our teacher. Could you help us to pick one that is the most beautiful?"

"Yes, I can."

He responds me as he turns around and picks up the flowers on the shelf behind him. Kylie gets up from the counter, stares at him and smiles.

"Can you tell your name~? I want to know what I should call you~"

"My name is Murasaki Boshaku. It's nice to meet you, Princess."

Boshaku-san turns around while holding a bunch of beautiful flowers and stares at Kylie with his sharp eyes, her face turns bright red. Kylie starts to turn around , walk towards us and smiles.

"H-He just called me Princess! Kyaa-!"

"Boshaku, eh? Whata strangie funnin' name he had, pfft!"

As we hear about his name, Kaki starts to laugh at how his name sounds like and continues to rolls on the floor laughing.

"What about you, Princess. I do want to know your name too."

He says as he stares at Kylie, she slowly turns around to him. Her face turns bright red again as her pink eyes meet his sharp eyes, she looks at his face with a sudden panic.

"O-Oh! M-My name is-"

"Wait!"

Before Kylie can tells him her name, Kaki suddenly pulls Kylie's hand towards her and drags her to me.

"W-What are you doing, Kaki-san!"

"Dat guy's ain't trustin' able. Don't tell ya name!"

"But he told me his name, so I have to tell mine!"

"How 'bout 'tis? We're goin' t' give ya new name. Sis, give her some!"

Kaki releases Kylie from her hands and suddenly shakes myself with both hands. telling me to think of a name for Kylie, I had no clue why. So I point at myself and question her back.

"Eh? W-Why me?"

"It's b' cause it's ya, doin' it quickie!"

"Eh...H-How about...Kirie? I think it sounds similar to Kylie."

"Tat's it! Go get 'im Kirie!"

"Whoa what-Wait, Kaki-san!"

Kaki pushes Kylie back to the counter where Boshaku-san is standing, staring at her, as his eyes and hers make a contact, Kylie suddenly moves back a little bit, because she stands a little too close to him.

"Can you tell me your name now?"

He says as he turns around and puts the flowers together. Kylie staring at him shaking and suddenly realizes that he asked her a question.

"A-Ah yes! M-My name is-"

"-Joumae Kirie! She's our sis!"

Kaki suddenly cuts Kylie's sentence with her loud voice and pretends to smile at him. He turns his face a little bit and stares at Kaki for a while, then he turns back to his working desk and start warping the bouquet.

"Kirie? That's a cute name."

He says as he turns around back to Kylie for a moment while is holding a ribbon, his words make her flatters, her face turns even more red. As Kylie tries to hide from him, he turns back to the bouquet and carry on his work.

"T-Thank you...Boshaku-san…"

"It's done. Here's a beautiful bouquet for a beautiful lady."

He turns around and picks up the bouquet that we requested. He walks towards me and give me the bouquet. It is very beautiful more than what I expected.

"Thank you so much for this beautiful bouquet."

"It's my duty. Come back again anytime."

"W-Will I be able to find you?"

Before we can even move ourselves, Kylie suddenly says to him loudly and turns around the other way blushing. The surroundings are quiet for a few seconds, he slowly comes closer to her and whispers in to her ear.

"Anytime you want me, I'll always be there for you, Princess."

After he says to her, she turns around to him and stares at him for a little while. Her face is turned all red, and she runs away, but she hides behind our back and look at him.

"See you later. I hope your teacher likes the flowers."

"Thank you very much, Boshaku-san."

I say to him as we walk out of the shop. Kylie, still staring at him, she cannot take her eyes off him. Kaki sighs deeply, go besides her and drags her to the door.

"Nah! Enough of lovey-dovey. Dat makin' me wanna jus' left ya there. But now ya're me sis, so me gussin' me shoulda takin' care of ya too."

Kaki mumbles all the way from the shop to the school. Kylie changes her form into a fairy as we nearly arrive at the gate, right now she looks like a dreamy girl, she always looks into the sky and not doing anything else.

As we are making our way to the gate, suddenly I notice that Kasey wasn't with us in the beginning. I look back and forth and I can't find him anywhere.

"What's t' matter sis?

"I think I know what we forgot...We forgot Kasey!"

"Tat's o righty! Tat's why me feelin' like so quiet!"

Kaki and I start to think where he is, but we could not recall anything. Kylie suddenly shakes Kaki's shoulder as she points at something.

"What now Kirie!"

"Ooh, look! It's Kasey! He's waiting for us at the gate!"

Kylie says as she points at Kasey, he is leaning in front of the gate in his human form. We walk into him and smile at him. But then he looks at us with an angry look..

"What took you so long!? I've been waiting for you many hours ago!"

"Y-Yikes!"

Kasey yells at us as he stares with his blue-colored eyes, then he crosses his arms and turns away.

"I-I am sorry! We had to brought a bouquet, I am sorry that we make you mad..."

"Whatever, at least you all are in time-"

Ding Dong~!

Suddenly the school bell rings before Kasey could finishes his sentence, he looks at the school and turns back to us.

"-before the bell rings, sigh."

"Noooo! Not t' bell 'gain! C'mon, le's rushin' t' class!"

Kaki says as she grab my hand and run, grabs Kasey along with her, Kylie holds onto my backpack so she will not fall. We all run into the school so we won't late for our class.

"H-Hey! Let go, you idiot!"

Kasey shakes Kaki's hand off and turns into a fairy, as he freed, Kaki grabs his tiny body with her other hand, and put him into her backpack.

"What then! Jus' go in t' me baggy!"

She says as she quickly pushes Kasey in her bag. We keep running to the class with our hands holding onto each other.

Smack!

As we run as fast as we can and never look what is before us, Kaki suddenly bumps into someone. I fall down on the floor as she pulls me together with her.

"Owie! Me head!"

"Running in the hall? Maybe not a good idea. But I like it."

The one who Kaki just bumped into, she looks at us and smiles. She brushes her brown hair and look at us with her pure brown eyes, She does not wear a uniform, probably a teacher of this school. I think as I get up and walk in front of her.

"I am so sorry for Kaki. We are in hurry so we have run."

"You two must be the new students aren't you? My name is Haikino Suki or Cure Blue Ash!"

"What? Ya're 'Cure Blue Ass'? Pfft-! Hahaha!"

Kaki says as lying, hit on the floor laughing. Suki-sensei stares at her and giggles a little.

"It's 'Blue Ash' not 'Blue Ass' okay? I'm your weapon teacher, I'm going to teach you for this whole day."

"What? 'whole day'!? Duh-! Wait-, you're weapon teacher? Why did we hav' t' learnin' zat' thingy?"

"Well-you know what? You two gonna be late for class."

Sensei says to us and smile, as we look at each other and keep on silence. We suddenly lift ourselves up to her and startled.

"A-Ah! We are going to be late!"

"Y-Yes. And I don't think I know your names."

Before we could start to run to the classroom, Suki-sensei ask us as we stop and listen to her. I walk in front of her and put my hands in front.

"Oh, how rude we are. My name is Joume Maki and this is my twin sister, Kaki. It is nice to meet you, Suki-sensei."

I say as I bow to her deeply, Suki-sensei suddenly lift myself up in panic.

"Don't be that much polite! Just call me Suki."

"I could not just call anyone with anything I want."

I stare at her as I finished my sentence. She looks at me deeply in my eyes and sighs, then she turns around and starts to walk.

"Don't be too strict with the manners, okay? Now let's go inside the class."

As we start walking along with our teacher, Kaki runs up and continues walking beside Suki-sensei, putting both of her hands in the air as she walks with her.

"Yay! Sukiki-chan so kindie!"

"That's a cute nickname for me. I'll give you one, what do you want to be called?"

"Call me Kaki-kun! Me goodie goodie friends always call me 'zat!"

"It might be a little weird, but I think it suits you."

"Yay yay! Sukiki-chan's one of me goodie friends too!"

Kaki continues talking to Suki-sensei, they smiles to each other as they walk into the classroom, I smile a little for them. We leave our backpacks on the table and follow our teacher to another room, I am a little confuse, because we always study in this room.

But Sensei somehow takes us to the room besides it. When we open the door, I can see everyone in this room, stand and waiting for us. This room is very large and wide, there is no desks or chairs at all.
As I look around, I can see Nora waves her hand to us, Kaki and I walk to her. But before we could reach her, Kaki departs and runs to the other way. I was going to go and call her, but I think that I should go to Nora first, so I walk towards her with my hand waving.

"Good morning, Nora."

"Good morning, Maki. I'm glad you made it to school."

"Y-Yes, that is right."

"There's a lot of things going on recently, so we need to be careful."

Nora says as she looks at me with a smile, I slowly smile back to her.

'Don't try to fool me anymore, please.'

-!

But suddenly her words in my dream echo in my head, that despair voice, that face she makes as she looks at me. What was all of that even mean?! Is that dream...going to be true…? If they know about our truth-

"Maki? Are you alright?"

Nora shakes my body and I suddenly being brought to the real world as I realize that I was lost in my mind, she looks at me with a worried look. I smile at her a little and move myself forward, stay speechless.

"I...I am alright. Sorry for worrying you."

I say as I walk away from Nora and head for Kaki. I notice her with the other students as I stand across them.. I slowly walk to Kaki, I can see her with another three girls and a boy.

One of the girls has dark hair, tied into a pigtail on her head. The other two girls stand besides Kaki, one of them has dark blue-colored hair and the other girl has green hair. The girl who has dark blue hair ties her hair into a pigtail on her left side, the other girl who has green hair wore her hair into two pigtails with her pink ribbons, wears a pair of glasses all the time. The boy who stands behind the group of the girls stares at them, some of his dark hair pointed in the air, he only stand still and looks at them quietly.

I walk until I reach Kaki, as she and her friends turn around to me. They are all smile at me, making me feel somehow better.

"Hey, tis' me sis! Ya might wanna talk t' her,"

As Kaki says to them, they start to walk to me, I look at them with mind full of questions. The girl with dark blue hair walks towards me and grabs my hand.

"Hi Maki-chan! I'm Kawaguchi Moe! I'm glad to see you!"

"I-I-N-Nice to meet you too, Moe-I-"

"Kaki told me all about you. You're such a good sister! She seems to love you so much!"

"Y-Yes, I guess...?"

"Are you OK? You look so bad."

I am so confuse that suddenly someone holds my hand and talk to me like that, I could not answer her properly. As I look at Moe with her smiley face, another girl with green hair walks to me and put her hand on my shoulder gently.

"I think you should calm down. Don't be afraid."

"A-Ah my...Thank you. I was nervous so...I cannot really get hold of myself."

"Anyway, I'm Hoshino Yume. Nice to meet you, Maki. The girl over here is Koei, I think we talked too loud that she decides to stand there."

Yume talks to me with her soft, and gentle voice, as she introduces herself and the other girl, Koei, who stands away from the group as she might does not like loud noises that we make. I look at everyone and smile, they smile along with me. I later notice the boy with black hair, he looks at us a little bit and turns away.

"Hey, Ryu-kun! Come and meet Maki-chan!"

Moe runs up to the boy and calls out his name, Ryu. He turns around to where I stand, as Moe suddenly pulls his hand and drags him to me.

"M-Moe! Don't drag me like that."

"Sorry! I just want you two to greet each other. 'Kay?"

She says as she pushes Ryu closer to me, he stares at me as I do so at the same time. He slowly puts his hand on his head and rubs his hair up and down.

"H-Hi...I'm Ryu Maxwell. You can call me Ryu if you want to."

"I-It is nice to meet you! I am Joume Maki. I-I...I am glad to have you as one of my classmates."

I say as I bow for him a little and give him a smile, he stares at me for a moment and smiles back to me with a shy smile. We are getting along well, but suddenly Kaki pulls me from behind, myself is pulled away from Ryu's sight, I found Kaki looking at him madly.

"'Kay! No more starin'! Me don't likin' it when ya starin' me sis likey 'zat! Sis' mine!"

"K-Kaki! Don't be so mean like that to him."

"Me won't letcha bullie me sis likey bad guys-!"

"Stop Kaki!"

Shouted to Kaki just before she picks a fight with Ryu, she turns around back to me, staring into my eyes. My tears starts ripping all over my eyes as I hold my hands tight. Kaki's angry face starts to fade away and turns to a sad face, she walks towards me.

"Sorry, sis. Jus' stop cryin', kay? It's me fault. Me promised ya me won't picka fight with guys. But me jus' can't resist seein' ya smilin' for a guy."

Kaki says as she wipes my tears off with her hand. She smiles for me, turns around a little and stares at Ryu. Moe slowly walks into Kaki with her face full of anxiety, she puts one of her hands on Kaki's shoulder and slightly shakes her body.

"O-Okay, Kaki-chan! That's enough. C'mon, let's go back to our place!"

"Nah! Momo-chan! Me not Kaki-chan! Me Kaki-kun!"

"When you stop calling me Momo-chan, I'll call you Kaki-kun!"

"'Kay, Momo-chan!"

"Ah, you called Momo-chan again!"

Kaki and Moe continuously talk to each other while walking with the other girls to the other side of the room. I look at them from a far quietly.

"Your sister sure is scary."

Ryu walks from behind and stands besides me, I nod to him in a respond.

"I often used to be bullied by the boys in my original schools. She always got into a fight with them to protect me. That is why we had to change school for countless times."

"So that's why. But you're lucky to have someone who always wants to protect you no matter what."

I look at him as I slowly nod my head, then turn around to him, I put my hand on his hand and smile.

"I think...you are such a gentle guy. You are the first guy to talk to me so gently."

"Oh, is that so?"

Ryu says as he smiles, blushes a little. He keeps standing still for a while, then he notices my hand lying on his, he shakes his hand off and turns away.

"I-I am sorry!"

"N-No! It was I who put my hand on yours. I should be the one who have to say sorry."

We hide each other's glances and turn around in a different way, I slowly walk to Kaki. Just before I walk to her, I turn around to Ryu, who is looking in a different way, I smile for him.

"Do your best today, Ryu. Good luck."

As I say that, Ryu slowly turns around to me, stares at me for a moment and smiles back for me.

"Hay! Tis's not t' same room as b' fore!"

Kaki suddenly shouts out loud, Suki-sensei walks into the center and gives her a wink.

"That's right, Kaki-kun. This is a room for our class. It's weapon class you know? Now, show me your weapon!"

"Yay! Weapon! Wait, What weapon?"

"Are you ready? Everybody transform!"

"E-Eh? What?"

"Precure Strawberry Change!"

"Precure Switch On!"

"Pretty Cure Shining Rhapsody!"

"Pretty Cure Ecstasy Petition!"

"Pretty Cure Soul Ignite!"

Suddenly Nora and the other students shout out loud and they are all transformed into Precure. Kaki and I look at those Precures speechless. Then we grab each other's body and startled.

"Eh? E-Everyone is all Precure!?"

I look around in silence and start to smile. as I think about the nightmare last night.

"This...This is not a nightmare. It is real. Everyone is Precure. That is why, they are all here!"

"Yes, aren't you two also Precures?"

Moe, in her blue cure form, says towards me. As she finishes her sentence, Kaki suddenly grabs my hand forcefully.

"Yea! Yea! We're! Sis, le's transformin' quickie!"

"Y-Yes!"

\\Precure! Unlock Form!/

Kaki and I quickly transform into Cure Lock and Cure Key, everyone is staring at us. We are a little confuse of what is going on.

"Ooh! Me like ya outfit. What's ya Cure name, Noraji?"

"It's Cure Strawberry. How about you?"

"Me sis' Cure Lock n' I'm Cure Key!"

"I like your Cure names"

"Thankies! Me likie ya too!"

Key and Strawberry talk to each other with smiles on their faces, I stand beside them speechless. Suddenly I can feel someone poke my shoulder, I turn around. Moe, Yume, and the others stand behind me.

"Hi again, Maki-chan~"

"H-Hi, Moe."

"So this is Cure Lock? So cute!"

Moe says as she jumps into me and hugs. I can do nothing but stand still, and smile.

"B-But, how did you know my Cure name before I ever tell you?"

"Oh, Kaki told me. Lock-chan, I'm Cure Healthy, nice to meet you again~"

"Y-Yes, nice to meet you, Healthy."

I say as Healthy slowly releases me from her arms. Yume walks to me with Koei and another girl, all smile at me.

"I'm Cure Midnight and this is Cure Echo and Cure Stardust."

She says as she points at Koei and another girl with purple hair, Koei is now Cure Echo, but the other girl doesn't seem familiar to me. I slowly walk to Stardust as she is turning around from me, like she's trying to hide her glance from me.

"E-Eh...I do not think we met each other before, who are you?"

"Oh! I-I…I..."

Stardust suddenly startled at me, her voice starts to turn down as she looks down. Healthy suddenly jumps onto her and puts her arm on Stardust's shoulder.

"You don't remember him!? She's Ryu-kun!"

"E-Eh..?"

I stare at the girl and try to recall, somehow her face and eyes are truly similar to Ryu's. I think as I keep standing speechless.

"S-So...you are Ryu…?"

"Y-Yes…"

"Eh…"

I keep still as she answers me, everything somehow in a deep silent. Then my eyes open wide as I startled at her/him.

"E-Eh!? Y-You are Ryu-!?"

"Oh me gosh! Tis' girl's so cutie!"

As I startled at the fact that Stardust is actually Ryu, at the same time when Kaki suddenly rushes into Ryu, in her cure form from behind and hugs him tightly with both of her hands. Healthy stares at them, lifting her eyebrow up as she startled of how tight Key hugs him.

"Kaki-chan! Don't hug Ryu-kun so tight like that."

"Ryu-kun so cutie-Wait-Ryu-kun?"

Key slightly releases Stardust and stares at him, blinking her eyes a bunch of times, I can see Stardust looking at her so awkwardly.
Suddenly Key hugs him again, but tighter than before, rubbing her cheeks against his. He is obviously burning red now.

"Ooh! Ryuwy! So likie ya name! But, Momo-chan! Ya called her wid -kun but not wid me!?"

"I-It's because I have my reasons…"

"Ryuwy so cutie! But ya 'now what? Ya remindin' me of 'zat awkieward black guy."

Key suddenly stops rubbing her face against his, grabs his shoulder and looks into his face. Stardust looks at her face with his body shaking, closes his eyes. Key then smiles and continues hugging him again, with a big smile on her face.

"Nah! 'zat can't be. Ya're way cutier than 'zat guy. Ya're not a guy so me won't hurt ya!"

"Ah-T-Thank you."

Said Stardust as he tries to pull Key's hands away from his body, she releases him from her arms. Then he walks away to where Healthy is, Key waves her hand for him, then walks back to me.

"I am glad you did not hurt him…"

"Ryuwy's good girl-Wait, whatcha meanin' by 'him'?"

"E-Eh-N-Nothing! Nothing!"

I quickly correct my words as I turn around, sigh deeply but quietly.

Suki-Sensei slowly transforms into Cure Blue Ash and moves into the centre of the room, raises her sword, catching everyone's attention.

"Alright! Let me see your weapons, my students."

Everyone starts to summons their weapons and show her. Blue Ash-sensei points her sword at us and extends her arm while smiling.

"Now, show me some actions! See if you can defeat the robots with your weapons."

As Blue Ash-sensei finishes her sentence, suddenly a group of robots come into the room. Key suddenly jumps away and lands next to Blue Ash-sensei.

"Robots? Likie beep beep and somethin'?"

"That's right, Key-kun! Smash 'em all!"

"Roger 'zat, Blue Ass-M-Me meanin' Blue Ash!"

Key quickly corrects her mistake and runs towards my way. Both of us join our hands and raise our free hand in the air as some light energy starts shining over our hands.

"With feelings within, Lovely Heart Bow!"

"With thoughts within, Lucky Star Blade!"

We both summon our weapons, my bow appears on my wrist while Key's blade extended from her bracelet. We quickly start to run forward together without knowing what to do.

"Key, what are we going to do?"

"Dunno! Why don't we thinkin' 'f our simpliey attacks wid our weapons?"

"That is a good idea. Let is do it!"

As I finish my sentence, Key and I start separating and try to think of our new movement. I cannot think of anything right now, so I decide to observe Key for a while and it seems that she is running into a robot in front of her.

"Hey yo tin head, lemme smash ya wid me new attack! Precure Starlight Slash!"

Key jumps into the air and uses her blade attacks the robots. Most of them fall and explode, and it looks really work. Now it is my turn to think of my own. I think as I run into a robot, I extend my bow and aim at it.

"I am sorry, Mr. Robot-! Precure Heart Shot!"

I try to shoot the heart arrows into the robot, the arrows explode as they hit the robot, and it looks really good for one of my movements.

We continue attacking the robots with the other Cures, until there's no more of them. Key and I pant very hard as we stop running and stand still.

"Okay, that's enough! That's all for today. See you tomorrow, pretty students."

Blue Ash-sensei says as she put her sword in its place. Now that the class is over, everyone de-transformes and back into their civilian forms, they gently smile at each other.

Somehow I can feel something really weird, like all of these are an event that is already planned from the beginning. I do not know why, but, it is like that we are destined to meet everyone, here in this town. I can't help but smile alone with everybody else.
