The Search for a name


Yukino, Hanabi and Mei went home peacefully. Momiji took a longer route home. Luckily the trees accompanied her. The flashy lights that were bright enough to blind you greeted Momiji. She entered inside allowing her eyes to rest from the glaring light. The maids and servants kindly greeted her, but the atmosphere became serious. The sound of arguing echoed throughout the main entrance. Momiji waltzed inside the dining room where she noticed her parents eating a freshly baked red velvet cake made by their finest chef Sebastian.

Sebastian is known for his extravagant cakes and divine meals. He's been a family friend since Momiji's unexpected arrival. His bushy eyebrows made him look goofy. Luckily, his master cooking skills created an intimidating aura around him. The kitchen was his cave.

Her parents noticed Momiji. They froze their argument and watched their daughter enter the room. Momiji noticed the cake, sitting herself down beside her mother. Before reaching for the cake, she realized something was strange.

Her mother wore a beige nightgown stopping at her ankles, with silky sleeves, as her hair was in a braided high bun. Her eyes had large bags under them. She must've not gotten enough sleep. She rarely wears a nightgown at the dinner table. Her mother felt like it wasn't respectful at all.

On the other hand, her father wore a black suit, his tie terribly tied on his neck, and his collar weirdly folded. He must've worked a lot tonight but he would've changed into something more comfortable.

5 minutes past, not a word spoken. Momiji didn't dare touch the cake. The mood was awkward. It was a bad idea to enter the dining room.

Her father lets out a cough. Nothing came out after. Quietly, her parents ate the red velvet cake.

Momiji remaining in her school uniform finally stood up from her seat.

"Momiji," Her father finally spoken, but in a stern way.

"Yes?" She replied, a little louder than she intended.

"In a few days, we're going back to England," Her mother said.

"Time sure flies," Momiji awkwardly replied.

"Once we return from this trip, we're taking you back with us immediately," Her father continued "Longer than usual"

"What do you mean longer than usual?"

"2 years," Her mother said quietly.

Momiji froze. The sudden information processed slowly in her mind. 2 years was a long time, especially when she just began to get used to here.

Momiji sat back down, in pure shock. Many questions circled her mind. There's no way to make an excuse not to go. Was this the end of her precure journey?

"Do I have to go with you?" Momiji asked, her voice cracking in between speech.

"We can't leave you alone in the house for so long, especially since you're a—"

"Ahem," Her mother interrupted her father.

"A what?"

"Never mind what you are, we're leaving soon and coming back in a couple weeks to get you"

"I don't want to go!" Momiji argued.

"Momiji!" Her father yelled. "Stop acting like a child! We are going and that's final!"

Momiji slams her fist on the table. She runs out of the dining room, sprinting to her bedroom.

"Momiji get back here!" Her mother shouted, running after her.

"Let her be!"

"But," Her mother stopped at the door.

"It's better than her fighting those stupid things and getting injured,"

Momiji banged her door shut, the slam echoing throughout the hallway. Purin wakes up startled by the noise.

"Momiji?" She rubbed her eyes, regaining her vision.

"I just hate it when they do this!" Momiji shouted.

Momiji's mood went downhill, she forgot all about Yukino and everything else that happened earlier in the day. She wished her life would be normal. Is there such thing as a normal life?

While Momiji deals with the news, the other 3 seems to be doing well. The day peacefully ends for them, as they were excited to visit Momiji's house the next day.

Sunrise, happy faces, healthy breakfast and nice outfits. Now it's time to go to Momiji's house.

Hanabi accompanied by Nene was the first to arrive at Momiji's. Hanabi is known for being late. This time, she woke up extra early and made sure to not hit snooze every time.

Then followed Yukino with Uji and Mei tagged along with Mochi.

Momiji opens the front gate, putting up the fakest smile she could think of. Hanabi and Nene stared suspiciously while Mei and Yukino remained clueless.

"Welcome," Momiji tried speaking with enthusiasm, which terribly failed. She sounded miserable.

Yukino remained clueless, while Mei finally realized something was wrong.

"Come in, Come in,"

They enter through the gate, completely astonished by the view. They haven't entered the house yet and already are amazed. Following the stone path to the door, were lines of bushes and plants. Gardeners roamed the area, each watering, planting, or raking the leaves.

Mei couldn't stop herself from being pulled in the wrong direction. She deeply adored planting, it was her passion. Hanabi realizes Mei flying off course. She pulls Mei away from the flowers, dragging her to the front step. Mei sadly waves goodbye to the plants.

"You sure love plants," Said a woman with bright green hair extending after her feet. Mei recognized the female's appearance from before.

"Earth…light?" Mei whispered.

The female smiled, disappearing from Mei's view.

"Hurry up and find me… please," She said as she vanished.

"HANABI!" Mei shouted.

"What?"

"Let go of me,"

Hanabi lets go of Mei, letting her lose her balance and trip.

"Thank you?"

The entered the luxurious mansion that revealed a giant chandelier hanging above. The floor shone brightly from the glare of the friendly chandelier. The girl's reflection was seen on the stone tiles. Multiple doors were implanted on the walls in both directions. A tall butler stood beside the door smiling at the females. Another butler was wiping down very rich floral vases. They stared in awe. Momiji laughed at their reaction.

Two maids approached the girls, extending their hands out. The maids were drenched in black. This smile was the only thing that shone.

"Jackets please," They said.

The three take off their coats, gently passing them to the maids. The maids kindly thanked them and marched to the large closet that couldn't be seen from the front.

"Would you like a tour?" Momiji asks.

"Yes!" Hanabi said.

"Sure," Mei said.

Yukino nodded.

Momiji guides them around the house. First was the living room. The room was very wide with very few items inside. A large leather couch extended in front of the flat-screen TV. A golden piano stood in the corner beside the large windows. Another chandelier hanged above with a different shape. The light reflected off the golden metal on the chandelier, creating a sparkling light that filled the room.

After witnessing the empty living room, the girls entered the dining room. The long table was packed with shimmering silverware. A large window stood behind the end of the table. The sun peeked inside allowing its glare to approach the silverware and create a twinkling illusion.

Yukino peeked inside the kitchen, noticing a tall male in a dirty chef's uniform washing the dishes.

"Want me to help you dry them?" Yukino asks politely.

"No, it's okay" He smiled at her. "Thanks for asking—" Sebastian choked on his last word. He studied the appearance of the unfamiliar lady.

Yukino felt welcomed by his smile. She smiled back at him, her smile small but pleasing.

He stared in awe. He never expected her to smile back.

"You're very pretty when you smile," He complimented.

"Thank you," She replied, before heading back to the group.

Sebastian watched the water splash into the sink. He arched his brows, clenching on the edge of the sink.

"Koharu, why have you hidden her for so long, you never told me she looked just like us," Sebastian whispered to himself.

Momiji wraps up the tour. They've seen every spot in the house except the backyard and her parent's private rooms. Every place they reached felt like a castle. She finally leads them into her room.

Her room dazzled with beige and everything was in order: nothing was on the ground, bed was made, blinds wide open, and sun brightly shined in her room. It's the room every little girl dreams of.

"Here's my room," Momiji said half-heartedly.

"Woah," Hanabi and Mei gasped at the luminous feel the room had.

Purin came out of her closet, with a cheeky smile. She notices Uji, her face immediately turning peach red.

"UJI!" Purin shouts, sprinting up to him.

Uji spreads his arms out, hugging her tightly.

"OKAY, YOU CAN STOP HUGGING NOW" Mochi shouts.

They release from the hug as Purin shoots a nasty glare at Mochi.

"Already a rivalry, sigh…" Nene shakes her head in disappointment.

They seat themselves down on Momiji's large bed.

"This is like a castle!" Mei said amazed.

Momiji laughs at her comment.

"So let's get down to business!" Mochi says sternly.

"Step one is finished! We have all the guardians and now we're off to step two!"

"What is step two?" Mei asks.

"Find the gate," Nene said.

"What gate?"

"The gate to Gaia," Uji said.

"How?"

"Gaia's gate, I've only seen it a couple times, in pictures though…" Purin said.

"You never saw it in person?" Yukino asked.

"Apparently the gate only been seen by Earthlight," Mochi said.

"This is going to be impossible…" Hanabi groans.

"Wait, before we take a big step, let's just take small steps, leading up to our goal!" Mei continued. "Is there a way we can make the gate?"

The fairies all look at each other.

"We never thought of making the gate..." Purin said.

"The gate was magically made, and all included something special from the seasons," Nene said.

"So something that represents a season, if we all collect it, we can bring back the gate?!" Hanabi said.

"It seems so, the guardians usually summoned the gate whenever they needed to return to Gaia," Purin said.

"What's something that represents our seasons?"

"Flowers for spring," Mei said.

"Sun for summer," Hanabi said.

"Leaves for autumn," Momiji said.

"Snow for winter," Yukino said.

"That's easy! We could just collect all those stuff and—"

"How are we supposed to get the sun?" Momiji interrupted Hanabi.

Hanabi froze in question.

"Well, we're doomed," Hanabi sighed.

"Let's take our time okay!"

"Before we find the gate, shouldn't we have a name for ourselves?" Yukino says.

Everyone froze.

"YUKINO YOU'RE a GENIUS!" Hanabi shouted.

"I am?"

"We always paused whenever we transform, let's figure out a name then!"

"How about seasonal warrior precure?" Said Hanabi.

"Nope," Nene said.

"Four seasons precure?" Said Momiji.

"Na," Said Purin.

"Why do I have a feeling that's already taken?" Mei said.

"What?"

"Never mind…"

"Precure Seasonal Protectors?" Mei said.

"NO!" Mochi yelled.

"Season precure…?" Uji said.

"NO!" The three fairies yelled.

"We're hopeless,"

Everyone sighed defeated.

"Um, how about Season touch Precure?" Yukino said.

"Why touch?"

"You know how we say 'touch our inner season' shouldn't touch be included?"

"It's simple and SOUNDS LEGIT, I LIKE IT!," Hanabi sprung up from the bed in joy.

"Everyone agree?" Mochi said.

Everyone nodded.

"Great, so that's what we call ourselves!"

"Season Touch Precure!" They say in unison.

They all high five each other in celebration. Although Momiji keeps her hands down.

"Momo what's wrong?" Purin said, worried.

"Yeah, you don't seem like yourself this whole visit," Hanabi said.

"I have something to tell you,"

"I'm quitting the team"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" Hanabi screamed. "WHY"


Hanabi: I'm hurt

Mei: You're always hurt

Hanabi: Shush

Mei: Poor Momo, how can we help her?

Yukino: Give her time.

Hanabi: Yeah…

Mei: Sigh…

Yukino: …

Mei: …

Hanabi: Who's going to say it?

Yukino: Me?

Yukino: Next time on Season Touch precure… Friends Forever, Don't go Momo!

Yukino: … guys? Did they leave me alone?
