Chapter 27

Waiting is the Hardest Thing to do

Hanon was taken away from her friends as soon as they arrived in Major Land, so that the doctors could treat her, leaving her friends to wait anxiously for some news on her condition.

"This is all my fault." Blaze said after ten minutes of waiting, causing his friends to turn and look at him."

"Blaze..."

"No Rhythm, don't. You and Melody were right all along. Being over protective of someone you care about will only put them in danger. Hanon could die because of me."

"But she still has a chance to pull through because Tune stepped in." Melody said, with a smile on her face that was filled with gratitude.

"Speaking of, who are you anyway?"

"Blaze!" Rhythm said, shocked by Blaze's straight forwardness, though looked over at Tune when she heard the girl sigh.

"It's fine, Rhythm. I knew I'd have to tell you eventually. And you all know me already." Tune declared, removing the bracelet from around her wrist -due to the fact that she didn't have a pretty Cure guardian yet- causing her transformation to fade, showing the others who she really was, which shocked everyone except Muse.

"Karen?!"

"Yeah, it's me."

"So YOU saved my sister?" Blaze asked, finding it hard to believe that the person who had tricked his sister from the very beginning had been the one to save her.

"Yeah. I knew I had to make up for my past mistakes."

"But if you don't mind me asking, how did you become a Pretty Cure? I thought because there was only four g-clefs." Melody asked, knowing that she should have probably asked this when they had first arrived in Major Land.

"So did I. But Crescendo Tone told me that there were a few other people who represented other notes like you represent the G-clefs, and she told me that I was one of them."

"Well, thanks for saving Hanon, back there." Rhythm said before looking at Blaze, who looked down for a moment or two before he said anything.

"Yeah, thanks."

As Karen stood there, slightly shocked by what Blaze had just said, one of Major Lands doctors walked over to them, causing the group to stop the conversation that they were having so that they could focus on what was more important.

"How's Hanon? Is she okay?" Blaze asked worriedly, though relaxed when they doctor nodded.

"She's seems fine for the moment, though to be safe, we'll keep her here over-night to monitor her condition."

"Can we see her?"

"I'm afraid that at this moment in time, she can only have one visitor per day."

"You should see her, Blaze." Melody said, while her friends nodded in agreement.

"No, I think Karen should be the one to go."

"But, you've got more right to see her than I do."

"You earned it. I guess I was wrong about you. This is to say sorry."

"Thanks, Blaze." Karen said a moment later before she turned and walked towards Hanon's room; unsure of what she'd see when she got in there, but carried on regardless.

Opening the door to the room her friend was in, the new Pretty Cure saw Hanon sat up in the bed that was in the center of the room, and was greeted with a smile, making Karen wonder if that was possible after what her friend had just gone through, though she sat down as she prepared to say what she had been wanting to say for some time, not noticing the someone or something watching the two girls from the corner of the room, waiting for the right moment to strike.
