Begins in a black space, filled with many stars. Past all of the dimly lit stars, right where all of them start to become brighter, there is an area where if something went within it, it will transport them a few miles away from where they were, based on where they were facing. That space is the Land of the Twinkling Stars, hidden because of its border that disguises it as the area of space and transporting outsiders.

The land itself resembles the celestial beings but have points, giving it the shape of a five-point star. It is home to a variety of fairy species, all of whom have gem-colored eyes, and is rule by a Queen who is not often seen, but share her wisdom through her council of twelve members.

One day, three of its young residence were hanging out in the area between the housing section and the school & playground point. One of them, a pinkish red, cardinal name Tori, suggested that they should go to the Seller's Peninsula at the lower left side of the land, to her two friends: a Sheep and a Tiger.

"Sorry Tori, but I need to go and finish my work," the Tiger said.

"Aww, but you had work yesterday and the day before. (Looking at Sheep) What about you?" Tori asked.

"I'm sorry but I need to go to the Pray Temples and ask for the best of luck," the sheep said pointing to the point across the Seller's Peninsula.

Tori fuss for a bit and ask Sheep if they can meet up once she's done, only for her to mention she has work to do, just like Tiger.

This saddens her, which Tiger see and ask if she is going to be okay, which got Tori to reply, with a fake smile, "It's alright, you two go ahead, you have much more important things to do, so go. (After that, both of them left, leaving her behind) It's not like I'm the only one here who doesn't have work to do," Tori said to herself as she sits down and grips the fact that she doesn't have work of any kind, a reason to pray for luck, or anyone to hang out with.


Present Day, Early Morning

Carol is asleep when her aunt calls her, telling her it is time for her first day of preschool and that she should get ready fast. She became excited about it as she hopped out of bed, thinking about how Hoshi told her about her school and friends and thinking it will be the same with her. She did her morning routine and look for the clothes she was going to where, only to find, on her bed, a light blue sweater with a white blouse as well as a skirt of the same color with bland, white socks.

Carol look around and figure she was supposed to dress and start getting the blouse on. As she was putting the sweater on, Sanoe came in and berate her for how she was putting on her uniform and help her out, when Carol was doing a good job putting the blouse and sweater on.

Once Carol is finish getting dress, leaving her shoes for the end, she twirls around, looks at her outfit, and ask, "How do I look?" Sanoe didn't give a response as Grandma Momiji came in to check on her and say how cute she looks.

She left the room to get a camera as Sanoe look at Carol and say, "You better not lose any part of your outfit like you did with your other sweater." Carol became a little sadden but decided to be cheery for her first day as Sanoe directed her to go get her backpack.

As Carol is getting her backpack, her grandma stopped her so she can take a picture of her in her uniform on her first day of preschool. As Carol was thinking of a pose, Sanoe told her that they don't have time for a picture and ask Carol why she hadn't get her backpack or her lunch. Carol wonder about when Sanoe told her to get her lunch, making Sanoe mad at it and leave while reminding her that they'll be leaving once she gets her stuff. Carol told her grandma that she needs to leave and try to left but before she got away, Grandma Momiji call her name, getting her attention, and snapping a quick picture of her.

"Don't tell your aunt about this. You have a good day at school, Carol, I'll see you this afternoon," Grandma Momiji said getting a photo of Carol and letting her go.

Sanoe shows Carol her backpack and lunch bag, which the big one is entirely light blue while the little one is purple, as they are heading for the front door. The two got their shoes on, went out the door and outside; Carol went straight to Sanoe's car only for Sanoe to tell her they are not going by car and that she needs to follow her instead. Carol start to get a bad feeling but shake it off to stay positive for her first day.

The two went out the front gate and take a right. They keep walking until they made it to the end of the block, where Carol saw a chance of leading and continue to move forward. Sanoe drags her back as she got onto the streets and said, "No, see the sign. (Pointing to a sign that says no crossing) You're not supposed to cross, you're supposed to wait."

Carol look down and follow her when the sign changes to let them cross and she looks at where she was about to go and see someone opening the Treats by the Season store there. When they cross the street, they continue in the direction of the block until the end where Sanoe went left and Carol waits at the sign that says to stop. Sanoe is explaining how a bus work when she notices Carol was waiting for the sign and pull her to a bus stop with a bench and telephone.

"Okay Carol, here's a paper with numbers (Gives her a paper with the numbers 468 in Kanji), what you are going to do is look for a bus with writing similar to these and it will take you to your pre-school okay. So take a seat here, (Carrying Carol and putting her on the bench) don't talk to any strangers and I'll see you this afternoon," Sanoe said as she is about leave.

"Hey, aren't you going to wait with me until the bus gets here?" Carol ask.

Sanoe looks back and quickly answer, "I have work to do at the house that needs to be done and my mom can't help because I am the only one able to access it. Just wait where you are and you'll be fine."

After Sanoe said that, she quickly left and gives Carol a reminder to stay on the bench by the time the bus gets there. She waited with no bus or big vehicles in sight and any excitement that she had for preschool is gone and thought about going home.

While waiting, she checked her backpack to waste some time to see what she is going to expect when she found a bag and open it to see it is filled with Yen. She looks around it and found a note saying, "Just in case you need something important, use it wisely. Have a good day -Love Grandma Mizuki."

Carol started to smile a little bit as she took some of the Yen out of the bag and stare at the telephone for a bit. "Aunt Sanoe said to not talk to strangers, (Standing on the bench and walking to the telephone) but she is no stranger," Carol said to herself as she put some Yen into the telephone and start dialing.

In a dimly lit, medium size bedroom, Hoshi is sleeping peacefully in her bed in the middle by a nightstand. Her phone receives a call and her, still being partially asleep, pick up the call, not seeing the caller ID clearly and saying hello. Carol told her hello and ask how is she doing when Hoshi realize whom she is talking to, put on her glasses and answer with a response to her and then asking how is she calling.

"I'm at a bus stop, and it's across the street from your apartment," Carol answer. Hoshi got out of bed, remembering where the only bus stop by her apartment is, and open the window behind her bed to see Carol on the phone.

"Carol, are you by yourself at a bus stop?!" Hoshi ask. "Yes and I can see you from here," Carol answer. After she gave an answer, Hoshi look down to see she is under-dress and in front of a window. Hoshi quickly leaves to grab a rob and continue to talk to Carol.

She asks her why she is at a bus stop, only for Carol to answer where she is told to go. Hoshi continues by asking if she is excited about it, only to hear how sad Carol is as she said she's not excited about it and that she needs to wait for a bus with certain numbers.

"Do you know what school you need to go to?" Hoshi asks, thinking about driving Carol there herself. "I don't know, my aunt didn't tell me, just to go on this bus," Carol answer. Hoshi became shock listening to it as she went back to looking through the window.

"How's Tori doing?" Carol ask making Hoshi afraid. She didn't know what to say as Tori didn't come back and Carol probably asks for some cheering up.

Before she had a chance to answer, a bus came up in front of Carol with similar numbers to the note. "I got to go, my bus is here. Tell Tori I said hi," Carol said.

"Oh I absolutely will and I hope you have a good day of preschool, just wait, it will get better," Hoshi said, being somewhat relieved as the call stop and she sees Carol hang up the phone and get on the bus. Carol went in saying she needs to go to preschool and the driver ask her to pay, but looking at her getting her bag, he said for her to just pay two-hundred-fifty Yen and he'll take her to the school with no problem. As she did it, she took a seat in the front and the bus leave.

Hoshi looks and worries about Carol as she sees the bus leave. She is thinking, "If I was not a PreCure who wanted to keep in touch with the others, I would have missed this." Hoshi look at her clock to see that her class does not start for a few more hours and after seeing that, she is too distraught to go back to sleep.

Hoshi decides to get her books and folders ready for her plan classes in the afternoon when she spots her yellow folder and opens it to see it is her Applications Folder. She looks at the forms to see what jobs or internships is available and pick the first one to see what it is. The form is for an internship at a detective agency looking for someone to take photos and look over evidence from a scene.


Philis and Terracleas were in the lair when they received boxes from their teleport pad, filled with their stuff. Terracleas open his box to see his materials are bent and damaged while Philis open his package with everything is in good condition.

This made him ask Philis, "Hey, why is my stuff damage while yours look fine?"

"If you had pack your materials better, you wouldn't have this problem," Philis answer with some indifference. Terracleas shrug it off and decide to try to see what he can do with it.

"I know this is none of my concern, but what are you doing with all that, err, workout equipment when you have the gauntlets to fight?" Phils ask looking at his cohort.

"I don't need any fancy glove to beat these Cures, I need to be tough and built: I also want to my body to stay this way and it won't if I don't workout," Terracleas answer, as he got mad about trying to put it together. He continues to fail at that, to Philis'samusement, and decide to stop what he's doing and head out.

"Such as an ignorant fool," Philis said as he uses his gauntlet to read his mind and move his equipment out of the box, turn them on and get them to go to the files he needed.

"Now let's check out our Pretty Captives," Philis said as he got on the first computer.


Somewhere by Carol's home, in the small park, there is a teenage girl sleeping in the trees. She had pinkish-red hair going up past her shoulders, a pink baseball shirt with a shooting star in the front, orange shorts with regular tennis shoes and a small blue sweater worn around her waist. She wakes up and reveals her eyes are similar to yellow opals. She stretches a little before realizing it is the afternoon and where she is.

"Oh no, I fall asleep here. Hoshi must be worried about me, and I don't want to worry her any longer," Tori said as she jumps from the tree only to land on her feet.

She tries to get a proper balance and said to herself, "Woah, when did I become heavy to be on the ground and why am I still high enough to see from this level?"

She looks down to see she has feet, and legs. She looks at herself thoroughly and sees her reflection in a window across the street to see her human body. Tori became amazed at her body as she starts to wonder what happened last night.

She remembers giving Carol Hoshi's phone number and class schedule and then deciding to go look for something in the trees before going back to the apartment. However, she felt tired then and, not actually seeing or feeling anything, her body glow as she lay down on a tree bark.

Wondering about her body, Tori look at her reflection and stretch for a bit to test her new form. While posing, a passing man came by, sees and approach her.

"Hey you, are you afraid of something or think you can get away with what you're doing?" the man asked as Tori notice him.

"I'm not afraid or trying to get away: what makes you say that?" Tori responded.

"Well you're not in school Missy and Spring Break is over," the man said as he tries to reach for her.

Tori back off and say, "Hold it, mister, first off, I graduated from school and don't need it. Secondly, I didn't attend school here and thirdly, my big brother is a very important Council Member, (this gets the man worried) he's in the Seat of the Monkey and he got it because he was appointed by the Queen of the land herself."

After the last part, the man trades his worry expression for an indifferent one.

"Okay, no if's or but's about it, you're coming with me miss," the man said as he pushes Tori towards his car, who ask where is he taking her.

Some place where I know many kids like you are from," the man said as he gets Tori in his car, get in himself and drive. Tori is somewhat worried as she has no way of getting out and is thinking about what he might do.

After some time, they went into the Niwamida District, pass the park where Hoshi transformed for the first time, pass a Preschool and a few more blocks later, he parked by a school with a front sign that says "Alstroemeria Middle School". He got Tori out of the car, escort her to the principal's office, and explain her to him.

"I caught this one out in the city area, must not have gotten the memo that the first day of school is today. And remembering what she told me, she really needs to go," the man said, groaning at the last bit.

"Okay, I can handle it from here, you're dismissed," the principal said getting the man to leave.

"Forgive him, he's only doing his job and he is known for being tough on students your age. (This got Tori to relax) But you still need to attend on the first day, you might miss a lot," the principal said.

"But sir, I am not a student, I'm not even from here," Tori explained.

"(Sign) I've heard that plenty of times before, some really want to go to the mall, go to the city, etc. Though I will admit, I have not seen you here before," he said.

"But Mr.," Tori said when she is interrupted by him telling him to call him Principal Yoshio. "Principal Yoshio, I am not a student and I've been told many times that I do not need to go to school alright. I've been told by my teachers, my parents, other parents, and a lot of people, so I don't need it," Tori said, sounding frustrated, as she is stand up from her chair and is about to leave.

"Do you know why they tell you that Ms.?" Yoshio asks before she opens the door.

Tori thought about it for a moment and just said, "My name is Tori and just see my name is nowhere on your records system and it'll show you I'm not a student here."

Before he told her to wait, Tori left, being upset and exit the building. She walks around the school ground to see other students playing in fields and some reading books and journals. Seeing them made Tori remember how her school experience was.

She flashback to when she was a Cardinal-Fairy in the Land of Twinkling Stars: she wanted to play and make friends with the other fairies of her class but they were all too focus on their studies. Not only that, she also "finished" school before everyone did.

At first, she thought it would be fun, not having to deal with a lot of schoolwork, practicing presentations or dealing with how to build a social network but then realize she is all by herself and alone. She tried to meet up with the other students once they are done, but they are busy as always.

She thought about going back to school in order to hang out with her former classmates, but the teachers and headmasters all tell her no. She even tries talking to her former friend's parents, only for them to tell her they don't have time for her and she will never be accepted to any school for as long as she lives. The last one made Tori a little teary-eyed and remember when she told her parents what had happened: they agree with them, but in a less harsh way.

"Stupid school. What's so special about it that everyone is kicking me out soon while letting everyone else work?" Tori ask herself as she looks through the fence.

"What makes it stupid is how they are rejecting students who want to go," a female voice said. Tori look around to see an adult female by her who said it.

"Are you a visitor with problems, I can tell your new here?" She added as Tori ask her why does she ask.

"Because I care when someone younger is having do you want to talk about it? (Tori told her that if she did, it is going to be a long story) Don't worry, my students are in an art class so I have plenty of time. And please, call me Mrs. Shiori," The lady said as she and Tori took a seat on the ground as they basically introduce themselves and Tori tell her backstory, without mentioning the Land of the Twinkling Stars.


Around this time, Carol was dismissed from Buruberu Preschool all cheery and happy.

"Hoshi was right, today would get better and it did," Carol thought but then realize she needs to go back home and to do that, she needs to take a bus again.

As she is going to look for a bus stop, she spotted a big, glorious white building by her preschool and see its similarity to the one in the photos in Hoshi's apartment. She asks one of the teachers what the building is and to her surprise, he said it is the University of Chikara, hidden behind the school.

Carol pull out the sheet of Paper that has Hoshi's class schedule and said, "I think she won't be busy when I get there."

She looks and thought about going there on foot, however, a teacher aide told her to wait until her guardian picks her up. She wanted to go, but she knows her teacher is not going to let her, so she got an idea: she told the teacher, she is over at Chikara University and that she need to see her there. He seems reluctant but then agree and decide to drop Carol off in his car.

"I'm dropping off a girl, she does not have a ride, I'll be back," the aide yell to the other teachers as they let him go and get Carol in a car with a sign that says the name of the preschool as well as its number.

After driving two and a half blocks, the teacher told her they are outside the school and looking at it, ask Carol if he could walk with her to her guardian.

Carol answered, "I will be fine, I know where she is."

As she said it, Carol got out the paper with Hoshi's schedule and try to figure out where Hoshi will be. Seeing her wonder about where Hoshi might be, he park the car in the visitor's parking lot and ask if he could borrow it.

Carol ask him why, only for him to say, "Two heads are better than one, we can find your guardian, quicker if we go together." After he said that, Carol pass the paper to him from the booster seat in the back for him to see.

"Don't worry, I know where this is, now follow me," he said as he got out of the car with Carol following. As he made it on the grounds, he notice Carol is only following and keeping to herself.

"This place is fill with a lot more big people than me, your teacher and Hoshi: let me hold your hand so you can be safe," he said as he reach his hand out to her. As Carol grab his hand, he open the door, and they went in. Inside, Carol saw many people, coming and going, with their backpacks, all in varying big sizes.

She looks up to the teacher aide and thought to herself, "Thank you, Mr. Takayuki."

At first, it seem hard because how crowded it is but once it calm down, Mr. Takayuki is able to see where they are. He noticed from the schedule that Hoshi should be leaving from her class at any minute and sees it is also in the second floor, so he took Carol by the hand to the elevator.

When they made it, he look at his watch to see Hoshi should have left her class right now and try to look for the class number. When they find it, they see it is empty but see the nearest lobby with a couple students. Carol look at them and sees Hoshi, sitting on a couch, reading a book. She told Takayuki which one is Hoshi and wanted to approach her, but he told her to wait and hide behind him as he approach and talk to her.

Mr. Takayuki told her, "Hello, are you Ayano Hoshi? (This gets her attention and she nodded yes) Hi, you can call me Mr. Takayuki and I'm here to talk to you about your child." Hoshi was about to ask about the child, when Carol came out to give her a hug and saying her name.

"Carol, what are you doing here?" Hoshi asks as Takayuki continue talking about Carol.

Hoshiask him for some information from Takayuki as heask about Carol. Hoshi was asking about what school is for Carol while shesay how shelove preschool and how nice Takayuki is for taking her to the University, to his embarrassment. The two young adults gota into a conversation about the preschool as well as Carol, who chime in during some of it.


Once she is done telling her the backstory, Mrs. Shiori ask, "Did they really do that? (Tori nodded yes) My Goodness, that is mean, but what kind of student were you?"

"Well, I didn't think I was that bad, but I wouldn't call myself top student material," Tori explain looking at her with sadness. Mrs. Shiori thought about reasons why a student would be kicked out of school outside the traditional reasons as Tori get up and about to leave.

Before she is away from her, Mrs. Shiori said out loud, "If you want to attend school, our doors here are always open. You could be a student that shines bright here. (Tori stop for a bit, but then continue leaving) Just talk to the principal."

After some walking, Tori did think about attending Middle School, while she is in human form until she heard a familiar evil laugh. She runs in the direction of it, sees it is Terracleas near a pile of equipment, and hide from him.

"Grr, if I can't make this work right then I might as well use it for something else," Terracleas said as he brought out a Magic Beatle.

"Bring…Forth…CHAOS!" Terracleas yell as the Beatle fly into the pile and fuse with it, to create a Pull-Weight Station Andro-Beast and sent it to look for a near group of people.

Tori got a feeling that the beast is going to attack Alstroemeria Middle School as it is the closest and got out her pendant. She looks at it and thought about what she is going to happen: if she transforms, she'll either stay a human or return back into a bird, and will be more likely to not be as powerful by herself, but as it is starting to head towards the school, she starts it anyway.

"U… Transform," Tori said as time stop and her body start to be cover in light. In the process, the stage was about to appear but then vanish and as she thought, her body shrunk and take the shape of a bird again. Once she is a bird, her Cure outfit appears on her and once she is done, she did her intro.

"Throughout the Sky and Land we Travel, Cure Flight," Tori said.

She looks down to see she is a bird and felt relieved to be flying again but then see the beast raise a claw/pull-rope towards the school. Flight flew towards the rope as it pushes downward and stops it with her strength.

She holds on when Terracleas pop in and said, "Are you by yourself again, are you finally giving up little fairy?"

As Flight holds on, she pushes the rope away and starts pecking or bothering the beast, getting its attention. She sees the beast is focused on her and got the idea to bring it away from the school as she flies far with it following her.

As it is following her, she flew so fast that she end up hitting one of the windows of Chikara University, by the lobby where Hoshi and Carol were. All three freak out as Flight is there flat in clothes. Thinking on her feet, Hoshi told Takayuki to call a number on another sheet of paper and to tell the ones on the phone that Carol will be a little late going home as there is something running out in the town stopping them.

After he left, Carol knocks on the glass trying to get Flight's attention when she tries to say, "Andro-Beast…Weight Machine outside." This gets Carol and Hoshi to get up and outside fast as Flight went back to flying and sees it coming and smashing the ground.

As the others came outside, they got out their pendants and start their transformation process. "N…I…Transform," the two said in unison as time stop with Flight still moving. As their bodies become covered in light, Carol's body grew to that of a teenager and their respected outfits appear on them as the stage is turning. By the time it is done, they are not covered in light and Flight, who was above them, was surrounded by light ribbons, that made her into a human in Flight form as she join her fellow Cures as they did their intro.

"No matter our size or our height, Cure Lady," Lady said while doing her pose.

"Seeking Injustice and Exposing it, Cure Film," Film said as she did her pose.

"Let's Defend, Unity Precure," All three said as the beast crush another car.

Flight flew and kick the mid-section of the beast, knocking it back a little as they regroup. As it is getting its balance back, it start to throw weights towards the university, scaring those inside.

To protect those inside, Lady jump up and use her Parasol and chant, "Unity Chain Shield." This created a shield that stop some of the weights from hitting. As it trying to throw more, both Film and Flight grab hold of the two side ropes but the claws kept pushing them away. As the beast is distracted with them, Lady got an idea as her pendant start to glow and she feel a new power coming in.

Her parasol, turn into a wand and she did a small chant. "Pretty, Sleepy Hymn," Lady said as she waves the wand to the beast and it start to go to sleep.

When it went to sleep, Terracleas demand that it wake up without seeing the cures getting their pendants out. Each of them presses their lights on their pendants and rings start to appear from it and surround the beast.

"(Flight) Sky, (Lady) Class, (Film) Life, (All) Charge," They all say as the rings made the beast disintegrate in front of all of them. Terracleas got out of there before they press their buttons and thought about retreating.

However, Film stops him as he tries to get away and punch the gauntlet, deactivating it and making it release a pink/yellow and a white/purple Cure Soul.

"How are you going to fight next time, huh," Film ask as Terracleas jump up and say, "I'll make you pay for this, you and all you kiddies will. (Grumbling: I don't need the gauntlet to teleport where I live anyway)."

As the souls fly into the sky, all the damage revert back to normal, and all three change back in a small field that is well hidden. For Flight, however, when she change back, instead of a bird, she turn into a human again to the others shock.

"Tori, you're big," Carol said as she looks up to Tori's face while Hoshi asks what happened.

"I don't know, I woke up like this and I've never really turned into a human before without transforming into a Cure," Tori explain as she looks at herself.

"Can you turn back into a bird?" Hoshi asks as Tori shook her head and said that she never really learn how to turn back and believe she is stuck this way for some time.

The newly form silence stop when Carol said she needed to go home as her grandma might be worried. This got Hoshi to remember she has class in twenty-minutes while volunteering to drop Carol off.

Tori than ask Hoshi what must she do as a human, which she answer, "Well, you can't stay in my apartment all day or go out in the city. I think you would need to enroll in school and close to here as well, as we need to be close together and you need to stay out of trouble as … Tori?

At the last bit, Tori left while she was still talking and run towards Alstroemeria Middle School and went through the front door. She went inside the principal's office to see he wanted to talk to her.

"Ah Tori, I was wondering when I am going to see you. I needed to tell you that you were right, our Truant officer made a mistake in bringing you here, so I would like to apologize on our school's behalf," Principal Yoshio said.

"Thank you for that but I actually want to talk to you sir, is it alright if I enroll here as a second-year student?" Tori ask to the Principal's surprise.

"It's just, I've been out of school for a while and I've talked to one of the teachers from here and she said it would be okay if I enroll here, so can I?" Tori asked.

He thought about it and said, "You may start tomorrow, be sure to give me as much information as you can, and let me get you your schedule and uniforms."

He stands up and directs Tori to follow him who told him, "My name is Teruko Tori and Thank you, sir."
