Back in New York City...
"Ahh, that was so much fun!"
A young girl of about thirteen years, with waist-length orange hair and pink eyes, walked back towards the Kelly household. It had been a fun three weeks with her aunt and uncle. Who knew Hawaii would be such a fun place to stay?
Nick's little sister Kirino often wondered why their aunt and uncle decided to move to the United States, and to Hawaii of all places, but after that little vacation, she wasn't complaining.
"If only I could have gone back in February... I heard this year's Pro Bowl was a real knockdown," Kirino giggled as she fished out her key and unlocked the front door.
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!"
No response.
Kirino looked around a couple times, feeling seriously weirded out. "Hello? Anyone here?"
Kirino took a few cautious steps forward, still wondering just what was going on. Usually, at least Nick was downstairs before his parents were whenever she got home from school (she went to a different school than Nick had in middle school). The fact that he wasn't down here right now meant that something was wrong.
"Okay, Kirino, don't panic... there has to be a logical explanation for this... they said they'd all be home when I got back..."
Her mind made up, Kirino set her belongings down, then stormed out the front door and onto the streets.
"Let's see if I can find something!"

The Blue Time Ranger proudly presents:
Ojamajo Doremi Diamond and Pearl: The Final Cut
Story Created: July 8th, 2011
Summary: It's been five years since Ojamajo Doremi ended. All the conflicts were resolved, and the girls went their separate ways, enjoying their stable lives. But was that really the end of the story? When Nick Kelly, a long-time friend of the Ojamajos, is attacked by his own parents, it forces him and Momoko to make their way back to the Majokai after five long years. This simple act inexplicably brings the rest of the gang back to Misora and back to their magical lives, due to similar circumstances. Now equipped with new gear and brand new powers, the Ojamajos must solve the mystery of why their parents have turned on them. It won't be easy, though, as a mysterious force is watching them from the shadows, intent on taking over the Majokai by any means necessary...
On Today's Episode: Nick's little sister Kirino returns from her vacation only to find that no one is home. When her search leads her to Majomonroe's shop, then to Misora, and finally straight into the clutches of Erika, Nick's gonna have to fight harder than he's ever fought to save his sister. But can he do it while still dancing around his magical powers? Or does Kirino already suspect something of the sort?

"Hey, what the hell happened to all of you?!" Majorika gasped in shock when the Ojamajos arrived at the Jewelry World MAHO-dou. "You all look like you were put in a blender!"
"Erika just doesn't know when to give up," Aiko growled, rubbing her bruised shoulder. "She attacked us on our way here, and we're lucky we managed to stomp her. But she didn't go quietly."
"Wait, wasn't she injured from when Kelly-kun went all gold-hair on her?" Majorika wondered.
"That sure didn't seem to stop her," Hazuki answered.
"Oh, god, my hands hurt," Doremi groaned. "I feel like I just went ten rounds with mighty Thor."
"I feel like I was mauled by Ares," Onpu proclaimed.
"Are you gonna be able to work today?" Majorika asked. "Because I have a feeling we're gonna have a lot of customers today."
"Always thinking about the profits, as always..." Momoko stated.
"Only because Dela-san's still hounding us," Majorika quipped.
"I seriously need to ask 'Witch Conya' to respect rule number one of working in a magic shop," Nick stated. "'Do not EVER hound the store employees to make sales. Let the employees do their own work'."
Majorika was, in a word, impressed. "You still have the rules memorized, huh?"
"Momoko taught me everything she knows about dealing with Dela," Nick replied. "I guess it just stuck with me even after all these years."
Hazuki looked out the nearby window and saw someone approaching the shop. "We have a customer!"
"Everyone, assume your positions!" Nick exclaimed, and the Ojamajos quickly took their assigned places around the store.
Momoko greeted the customer when he arrived. "Welcome to the Jewelry World MAHO-dou, sir! How can we assist you today?"
Episode 7: A Younger Sibling's Trust! Little Sister Kirino Springs Into Action!
New York, 4:09 PM...
"Seriously, where are you guys?!" Kirino shouted, still zipping up and down the streets, wondering where her family was.
After a while, Kirino eventually came across Majomonroe's Magical Sweets Shop. Kirino looked around, seeming to sense something particular.
"Yeah, he's been here recently," Kirino noted. "I can still smell the cookies he made."
Kirino didn't know much about this shop, other than the fact that Nick and Momoko went there almost every day to do various things, mostly baking. She did know that the shop belonged to someone who had been very dear to Momoko, and that she visited it every day for the past five years.
So suffice it to say that Kirino believed this would be a good place to look.
Stepping into the shop, Kirino activated her patented "family radar" (which was actually just Kirino tuning everything else out but the senses of her family) and began searching the place.
After about five minutes of fruitless searching, Kirino sighed heavily. "Nothing. I was so sure they'd be here!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Kirino saw a door she hadn't noticed during her reconnaissance. It definitely looked strange enough.
"Hmm... wonder what this could be?" Kirino asked herself, now officially in "detective mode". Due to watching many old Sherlock Holmes movies during her childhood (and some Detective Conan movies more recently), Kirino had gained aspirations of becoming a detective when she grew up, even forming a mystery-solving club at her school.
Taking cautious steps towards the door, Kirino steeled herself, ready for anything she would find.
But when she opened the door, she saw nothing but rainbow light.
"What the heck?"
At that moment, some kind of invisible force began pulling at her, dragging her slowly towards the door.
"Hey, this thing is possessed!" was the last thing Kirino was able to say before being yanked into the glowing door of light.
The dark realm, unknown time...
Erika opened her eyes, disrupting her usual meditation procedures.
"Something is wrong, my dear?" Morticon asked, wondering what Erika had sensed. To be honest, he was quite surprised that her senses were still as sharp as ever, especially considering her body was still healing from the savage beatdown she had suffered under Nick's hands just the other day.
"There's someone moving through the tunnels that connect the Majokai to the human world," Erika answered. "Whoever they are, those tunnels are sending them straight to Misora."
"Strange. Who could have found such a door?"
"Hold on, master, there's more," Erika continued. "The signature of whoever it is feels very familiar. It's not quite a match to that boy, but still. What should we do, master?"
"Merely observe the situation for now, Erika," Morticon stated. "As you can probably tell, you are in no condition to fight. You are lucky that you managed to escape from those wretched Ojamajos today."
"They jumped me, master," Erika shot back. "It's not my fault that they can't see I wasn't actually there to fight. But noooooooo, that boy has to get all impatient and charge straight into battle. One of these days, his impatience is going to be the death of him."
"Either way, it would be best for you to stay here until you are fully healed. The regeneration process seems to speed up when you are in my presence."
"And hopefully it'll help, because when I'm healed, I intend to return that beating he gave me tenfold," Erika growled, closing her eyes and returning to her meditation.
Jewelry World MAHO-dou, 4:45 PM...
"So far, so good," Nick stated as another customer walked out of the store. "We're actually making some progress today."
Nick cast a glance to the side; Aiko had her face in front of one of the many fans scattered around the store, enjoying the cool breeze.
"Ai-chan, get your face away from there!" Nick shouted.
"No way, Kelly-kun! It's too freakin' hot out there!" Aiko shot back. She was right; it was an unusually hot mid-April day.
"Well, then let me go adjust the AC and you won't have to risk getting your face shredded!" Nick quipped.
"God, it's horrible outside," Aiko groaned. "Why is it suddenly as hot as Hawaii right now?"
"Hey, how would you know what Hawaii's like?" Nick responded. "You've never been..."
Nick stopped on a dime as something in his mind clicked. Wasn't there someone he knew that was in Hawaii right now?
After a couple seconds, the pieces fell into place, and Nick let out a piercing scream as he realized what was wrong.
"Hey, Kelly-kun, what was that scream about?" Doremi exclaimed, rushing in from the storage room.
"Oh, jeez, I'm dead meat..." Nick babbled, looking as if he was about to have a nervous breakdown. "My SISTER is in Hawaii right now!"
A question mark appeared over Doremi's head. "Kelly-kun, I didn't know you had a sister..."
"I never really talked much about her back then," Nick explained. "She was still young when we were having our adventures. Problem is, she comes back from her vacation today, and I'm pretty damn sure she has no idea about what's been happening!"
Almost as if on cue, one of the nearby doors started shaking.
"Oh, if that's Dela-san again, I'm gonna whoop her!" Aiko proclaimed.
The door opened itself, and Kirino came stumbling out of it, crashing head-on into Nick due to having too much momentum.
"Ow... now I'm gonna have road rash..." Kirino groaned. "God, do I hate rapid transports..."
Kirino looked down and noticed that she had fallen right on top of her brother.
"ONII-CHAN! I found you at last!" Kirino squealed, glomping her already fallen brother.
"Um, sis, how exactly did you get here?" Nick wondered.
Kirino just huffed. "Oh, that's a fine hello! I've spent almost two straight hours looking for you, and I suddenly get pulled through a freaky glowing door and into a strange store!"
Kirino's anger quickly faded as she reached out to hug Nick. "Ah, but I'm just glad you're okay, at least!"
"Um, little lady, do you have a REASON to be hugging him like that?!" Aiko quipped. "Ugh, I should have known. He's still a playboy. No way he'll ever change..."
Nick shot Aiko an angry glare. "Um, Ai-chan, that is my SISTER you're cutting down."
Aiko's eyes shot wide open at this, and she laughed nervously before backing away.
"Sorry about that, sis," Nick laughed, helping Kirino pick herself up. "Ai-chan's got it stuck in her head that I'm a playboy just because I have a lot of friends that are girls."
"So, do you have a girlfriend?" Kirino asked, obviously interested.
Momoko answered that question for Kirino, walking up to Nick and latching onto his arm in an affectionate way.
Kirino squealed happily. "Oh my gosh, that's AMAZING! How'd it happen? You've gotta tell me EVERYTHING!"
Nick suddenly lost his good mood when he realized that Kirino likely wouldn't believe the story he would tell. Could he tell her? At least they didn't have to worry about being turned into witch frogs, having broken the curse many years ago. But the question remained: what would Kirino do and/or say if they told her what had been going on?
"Well, Kirino-chan, it's kind of complicated," Nick stated.
The green witch immediately regretted saying that, as Kirino suddenly began to panic. "What? What happened?! Did they get kidnapped? Are they being held hostage?! Or worse, shanghaied by pirates?! I never should have trusted that guy!"
Nick waved his hand, effectively quieting Kirino. "You really need to stop watching those Pirates of the Caribbean movies."
"But Jack Sparrow's so handsome..." Kirino swooned before immediately snapping back to her panic state. "But if that's not it, where did they go?"
Nick sighed heavily. "I know I'm not going to like this, but... Kirino-chan, as my little sister, I've told you a lot of things that weren't exactly true, even if I was just teasing you. But I always hated it when people tried to sugarcoat things to me, so as much as you may think I'm a freak after I tell you, you deserve to know the truth."
But before Nick could finish his story, a loud and piercing scream resounded from outside.
"Oh, wonderful," Doremi groaned. "I think I know why somebody's screaming out there."
The entire group rushed outside to check on the disturbance, and sure enough, Erika was standing in the middle of the street, her dual keyblades drawn.
The only difference was that Erika was clutching a scared-looking Majorin in her arms, holding the black keyblade, Oblivion, dangerously close to Majorin's neck.
"The fact that you're here and threatening us with a hostage situation must mean you're fully healed after that smackdown I laid on you," Nick taunted.
"Oh, yes," Erika giggled. "And I feel SO much better now that I'm back on my feet. To celebrate, I invited a party guest."
"Um, what the heck is going on here?" Kirino asked, obviously quite confused.
"Let her go. NOW," Nick growled.
"You must really be stupid if you think idle threats will get through to me," Erika shot back. "Now, any of you make one step and I will slit her down the middle."
Erika raised her free hand and threw Oathkeeper straight for Nick. The silver keyblade began to spin rapidly as it approached Nick, but he easily avoided the attack by dodging to the right.
"Oh, what was that?" Nick teased.
"NICK, INCOMING!" Kirino shouted too late, as Oathkeeper came back and began pinging around, striking Nick on every pass before eventually returning to Erika, who charged it with her dark powers and slashed it vertically, creating a dark energy blade that struck Nick quite harshly, sending him stumbling back.
"Oh, what, you're going to just stand there and take it?" Erika taunted. "You're no fun. But it's just as well, because I intend to return that beating tenfold, make no mistake about it."
Nick clutched the wound on his chest. "Well, go ahead and do it. You won't have your hostage if you try to lay into me."
To Nick's honest surprise, Erika just started laughing. "Oh, you'd want me to believe that, wouldn't you? Thinking I can't fight just because I have someone to capture? I was right. Your impatience is going to be the death of you someday."
Erika quickly released Majorin from her clutches, only to wave her keyblades and create an evil-looking skeletal hand that rose from the ground and clutched Majorin tightly.
"You're EVIL, lady!" Fami shouted.
"I know I am. That just makes it more fun for me," Erika snickered, raising both keyblades above her head and channeling her dark powers into it like she had earlier.
Erika put her keyblades together and the dark magic surrounding them grew in size until it formed the shape of a large black sword.
"Oh, that's not good," Onpu gasped.
"NOW TASTE OBLIVION!" Erika shouted, striking with her energy weapon and slashing downwards in a vertical motion, aiming straight for Nick.
Nick knew there wasn't any way he could dodge such an attack in his wounded state, but he stood his ground nonetheless.
"STOP!"
This new voice caused everyone present to turn around. There, standing in full regal dress, was the Queen herself. Her veil was lifted, and she looked angry.
"Well, well. The queen of the magical world," Erika stated, not at all scared of the Queen. "It's about time you finally made a house call. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
The Queen's next words surprised everyone else.
"Let go of my girlfriend THIS INSTANT."
A question mark appeared over Erika's head as she looked back at Majorin.
"Oh, so you want to play the hero for your little lover?" Erika taunted, readying her keyblades. "Well, glad to oblige!"
Erika swung the dark energy sword she was aiming for Nick at the Queen now, but she easily batted it away, dispelling the dark energy.
The Queen instantly made her way to the trapped Majorin, easily swatting Erika aside.
The Queen waved her hands, and the evil skeleton hand that was trapping Majorin dissolved into nothingness.
"Are you okay, Majorin?" the Queen asked. "That selfish little tart didn't hurt you, did she?"
"I'm fine," Majorin answered as the Queen helped her away from the battle scene. "Just got the wind taken out of me for a bit."
Aiko grinned at this exchange. "Ah, Majorin-san, you sly devil."
"Eh?" Majorin gasped before suddenly turning as red as a tomato. "Ah, ah, I-I just... that is, that is to say I..."
The Queen just giggled. "It's okay, my dear. They deserve to know. I wouldn't want to hide the fact that I love you."
"Um... when did you, um..." Hazuki asked, her face beet red.
"I believe it was right after you all began your adventure," the Queen replied.
"I'd actually been having those feelings for a good few years," Majorin explained. "But it was only after you all started this journey of yours that I finally worked up the courage to admit my feelings. It was so hard to do, but I'm just glad she accepted my feelings."
"Way to go, your majesty," Momoko giggled.
"COULD SOMBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" Kirino screamed, flailing her arms around much like Hazuki would whenever she saw a ghost.
Nick realized this just as Erika began to pick herself up. "Girls, I think we need to go ahead and change."
"Change? Into what?" Kirino wondered.
"Well, Kirino-chan, since you saw everything that just went down, I don't think this will surprise you much," Nick answered, bringing out his Jewel Tap.
"Girls, you ready?" Nick exclaimed.
"READY!" the other Ojamajos shouted.
(Group transformation sequence: The Ojamajos all thrust their hands into the air, holding their Jewel Taps. The last to hold their Jewel Tap up is Nick, and his tap opens up like a cell phone to reveal a glowing green jewel. The jewel brightens before shooting a rainbow spiral of energy into the air. The energy eventually returns to the ground and circles the nine Ojamajos, who are all standing in a line. They hold out their Jewel Taps before drawing a circle with them, shouting their group henshin phrase, "Until all are one, we will fight as one! Ojamajos, change!" The Ojamajos hold their taps in front of them as energy explodes from the Jewel Taps. When the screen can be seen clearly, the Ojamajos each do their own personal choreography across a bright blue background filled with sparkles before transforming into their witch forms: Doremi does a pirouette, Hazuki does a dance step, Aiko does a free throw jump, Onpu spins around and poses, Momoko does a flying somersault, Hana does a cute hop, Nick does a scissor kick, Poppu does a roundhouse, and Fami pretends to ice-skate. Once everyone is transformed, they fall from the sky and land perfectly on the ground, placing their Jewel Taps in the center of their uniforms and slamming their palms into it materialize their witch hats. The Ojamajos look ahead and shout "We are the Ojamajos, guardians and defenders of the witch world!" before all performing their post-henshin poses together.)
"You just don't know when to give up, do you?" Erika sneered.
"I don't know the meaning of the words 'give up'," Nick shot back.
Kirino just stood there, taking in everything that had just happened.
"So... so..." Kirino gasped before squealing loudly. "That is SO AWESOME!"
Kirino began zipping around the Ojamajos, complimenting them on their outfits. "Oh, you actually got the lace on there?! WOW, that's real fabric! Did you get that from a designer?!"
"So... you're not freaked out by the fact that we're witches?" Hazuki asked cautiously.
"Why would I be freaked?" Kirino giggled. "Witches are AWESOME! Well, except for that one time Conan fought a witch in that murder case..."
"Um, sis, that was in a movie," Nick replied.
"Why must I be surrounded by such weirdos?" Erika growled. "I just had to pick THIS town to start our conquest... You know what, I've had enough of this nonsense. I'll assume a tactical retreat for now."
Kirino instantly rounded on Erika. "And YOU!" The orange-haired girl immediately ran up to the retreating Erika and started pounding on her back. "What's your deal, messing with my brother and his friends like that?!"
"Hey, get the hell off of me, you brat!" Erika growled, slashing vertically with Oblivion and catching Kirino on the shoulder.
This action immediately set Nick into motion. He began to draw his right hand back, emerald energy beginning to converge around his open hand.
"Hey, hey, what's that in your hand?" Erika wondered.
"See for yourself," Nick growled.
"The bow and string of a determine boy, take this! Ojamajo Arrow of Light!"
Nick thrust his open palm forward, and a gigantic burst of jade energy erupted from his hands, thundering across the street and sending Erika flying back a considerable distance.
"Momoko, let's do it quickly, before she gets up!" Nick shouted.
"Right!" Momoko replied, rushing up to join hands with Nick.
Not wasting any time, the two teenagers thrust their free hands to the sky, sending a green and yellow bolt of energy screaming into the clouds.
A second later, two streams of lightning shot down from the sky and began to concentrate around Nick and Momoko's open hands.
Kirino slowly picked herself up and, ignoring the blatant wound on her shoulder, rushed over to grab Erika in what appeared to be a full nelson.
"H-h-hey! Get your filthy hands off of me!" Erika shouted.
"Not until you can learn to settle down!" Kirino shot back.
"Spirits of the earth..." Momoko chanted, sparkles swirling around her hand.
"Spirits of the stars..." Nick chanted, electricity gathering around his hand.
Nick and Momoko tossed their free hands to the side, and their collected energy separated and began to swirl around both of them.
"Lend us your wills and give us the power to grant a miracle!" Nick and Momoko shouted as the energy surrounding them began to grow fierce. The two teenagers drew their hands back.
"Our beautiful souls..." Momoko chanted, yellow electricity bursting from her free hand.
"...shall crush your dark heart!" Nick chanted, green electricity bursting from his free hand.
"I said, LET GO!" Erika growled.
To her surprise, Kirino smiled and giggled. "Okay."
With that, Kirino unlatched herself from Erika and walked away.
"Um, what the hell?" Erika queried.
"Double Ojamajo Sparkle Screw!" Nick and Momoko shouted.
Cursing her own carelessness, Erika turned around just in time to see Nick and Momoko slam their joined hands through the energy field surrounding them. This motion caused two gigantic beams of green and yellow energy to erupt from their hands. The beams eventually joined together into one spiraling silver burst of magical power that rocketed at Erika, slamming into her and dealing severe damage.
When the energy dispersed, Erika looked seriously worn down, even though she wasn't anywhere near as damaged as the last time she'd been defeated.
"Ugh... I don't know why I got careless, but rest assured that won't happen again," Erika growled. "But for now, I'll go away. Next time we meet, you shouldn't be surprised if one of you forgets something very special."
And with those confusing words, Erika disappeared.
"Oh, whatever," Onpu quipped.
"Well, that was fun," Momoko giggled. "And at least we got to use her combo on her this time."
"Yeah, last time, Kelly-kun destroyed her all by himself," Aiko replied.
"Okay, now that THIS mess is over..." Kirino stated. "WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS TO ME?!"
Nick steadied himself. "Ooh, boy... this is gonna be tricky."
Kirino's expression softened. "Seriously, just tell me what's going on. I won't freak out, onii-chan. Promise."
"Let's get inside, Kirino-san," Majorin responded, still holding onto the Queen. "We'll explain everything there."
Jewelry World MAHO-dou, 5:59 PM...
"So, you haven't told me about what happened to mom and dad," Kirino stated once the Ojamajos had finished their explanation of the events that had taken place over the past two weeks. Her right shoulder was bandaged from where Erika had slashed her, but thankfully, the wound hadn't been too deep, and would heal just fine. "Were they really kidnapped by pirates? Those jerks of sailors captained by the ruthless peg leg Swantoon..."
"Kelly-kun, your sister has quite a vivid imagination," Doremi giggled.
"It's really my fault," Nick admitted. "Well, sis, this is the part I really didn't want to tell you, but it looks like I have no choice now. What happened to mom and dad... is the whole reason we're even on this adventure in the first place. Two weeks ago, Erika and Morticon put our parents under an evil spell and they attacked me. The queen realized that they wouldn't stop hunting me, and considering it happened to the families of almost everyone here, they corralled our parents and put them under strict watch in the Majokai. And I have a feeling they'll be there a while, since I don't think that spell is going to break until we trash Morticon."
Kirino stood still for a couple seconds, absorbing all of the information.
"So... we're not gonna see mom and dad for a while?" Kirino asked.
"I'm afraid so, sis," Nick replied, sighing heavily.
"Then... can I stay with you, onii-chan?"
"Of course, if that's okay with Momoko. Because that's where I'm staying right now."
Momoko nodded, silently showing her approval.
"YES! I have roomies now!" Kirino shouted, causing everyone to laugh.
Majorin stepped into the group before anyone could leave. "Before we part for the day, I have something for Kirino-san."
Kirino instantly hopped to her feet. "What's up?"
Majorin smiled. "For your bravery in the face of sheer danger today, I would like to reward you with this."
Majorin reached behind her back and produced a tenth Jewel Tap. Kirino's eyes began sparkling when she caught sight of it.
"For... for me?"
"You have proven your worth against forces much stronger than yourself," Majorin proclaimed. "What you did today shows pure bravery and conviction in the face of evil. Will you accept this?"
Kirino thought for a second. "Does it come with free chicken dumplings?"
Everyone sweatdropped at this. Only Nick knew that chicken dumplings were Kirino's favorite food.
Before anyone could respond, Kirino began to laugh.
"Oh, you guys, can't you take a joke? Of COURSE I'm in!" Kirino giggled.
Majorin smiled before handing the Jewel Tap over to Kirino.
"Okay, let's see if I've got this," Kirino stated before activating her Jewel Tap. "This is the vivid imagination of the beautiful dreamer! Ojamajo Kirino, transform!"
Kirino flicked her hands out, and brown music notes spiraled around her to form her gloves. She leaped into the air, cutting a few stylish flips that formed the boots, then landed and flashed a peace sign, this materializing the main body of her uniform. She placed her Jewel Tap onto the center of her uniform, then tapped it twice to produce her witch hat. Her transformation complete, Kirino did a quick roundhouse kick before putting two fingers to her forehead, much like Nick would, and flashing another peace sign.
"The dreamy bronze, Kirino-chi!"
"YAY! Hana-chan has a new mama!" Hana exclaimed, rushing up to glomp Kirino.
Kirino looked across the Ojamajos, all conveying their welcomes in their own way.
Ah, life is good, Kirino thought, smiling brightly. I've got my big brother back, and now I'm a fellow witch with awesome magical powers. Could this day get any better?
On the next episode...
Momoko: Ah, tomorrow's my birthday! I seriously can't believe I'm going to be sixteen years old!
Nick: Guess it's time to throw a big birthday party, right?
Doremi: ...um, for who?
Nick: ...seriously, Doremi-chan, what did you just say?
Hazuki: I'm kind of confused, Kelly-kun. Who was that girl you were talking to earlier?
Momoko: Hazuki-chan, don't tell me you forgot who I am?!
Aiko: Okay, I'm confused. Is Kelly-kun trying to woo another girl?
Nick: Ai-chan, you can NOT be serious.
Onpu: Yeah, I think we deserve some explanations here. Are you seeing someone, Kelly-kun?
Nick: Okay, that's about it. I think I have some investigating to do, and if whoever's behind this is who I think it is, she's gonna pay DEARLY for making my girlfriend cry like this.
Aiko: Dude, way to get over-emotional.
Nick: Next time on Ojamajo Doremi Diamond & Pearl: The Final Cut! "Momoko's Birthday Blues! The Ultimate Proclamation of Love!"
Momoko: Remember, memories are pearl and friendships are diamonds!
Doremi: Stay true to what you believe, and don't ever give up!
