Chapter 5: Fulfilling Sunset's Wishes Part 2
Outside of the castle, Sun along with her friends, the four Cure groups, and the human Sunset with Mágico are walking outside of the castle and plan to have some fun. Sun still can't help but think about the conversation she has had with Mágico, involving with Komonosu and his hidden intention involving Sun and her friends, and the four groups of Precures who have been sent here, and she also wonders what he could be up to now.
Suddenly, she hears a familiar voice, "Hey Sun."
Sun suddenly looks ahead to see Regana with a smile on her face.
She happily says, "Sunny."
She then notices Wire Wolf is holding her, and looks at her with a concerned look.
He asks, "You feeling alright. You seem distracted."
"Oh sorry. I didn't realize," Sun says.
"You feeling okay there?" Wire Wolf asks.
"I guess I do have something bothering me, but sadly, I can't really explain it to you," Sun says.
"How come?" Wire Wolf asks.
Soon, Sun and Wire Wolf walk together as they join the others.
"Let's just say that it's a secret for later. As of now, I'm still wondering about Mágico, Kumonosu, and the human version of me. I have to wonder if they know about us arriving here," Sun says.
"You think Sunset had something to do with it?" Wire Wolf asks.
"Definitely not Sunset. For one, she is well you know me, and she seems way too nice," Sun says.
"Sounds a lot like you," Wire Wolf says.
"I guess, but she's also different from me. Of course, I don't suspect Mágico," Sun says.
Then places her hand under her chin, "However, I'm rather skeptic about Kumonosu."
"You're not the only one. I have a strange feeling about him. He didn't seem to socialize with us, and well. I can't help but feel that…" Wire Wolf says.
He then grunts with frustration, and says, "I can't help but feel that he kind of reminds me of a certain someone I despise."
"You mean the energy vampire, huh," Sun suspects.
"You got it," Wire Wolf says.
"It's okay, Wire Wolf. I kind of understand that what happened before you met us wasn't the most pleasant way, but remember, when you did meet him again, you stood up to him and beat him," Sun says.
"True, but it's mostly thanks to you. You were able to remind me who I was and the person I've come and I liked the person I am now. You changed everyone's lives, especially mine," Wire Wolf says, and kisses Sun on the cheek.
Sun blushes and says, "Thanks."
"Hey you guys!" Rainbow's voice calls out.
Sun and Wire Wolf look to see Rainbow calling out to them.
"Come on, we're going to explore around the place. Mágico knows this cool place for us to have some fun!" Rainbow says.
"Okay," Sun says.
Sun and Wire Wolf hurry with Rainbow Dash and the others. Soon enough, everyone is amazed to see a large park that is far away from the castle. The park is a large field that is full of flowers, trees, and other kinds of plants with fruits, berries, and even a garden. A large playground, a lake with some boats, and other locations, equipment, and other places to have fun.
"Twincool!" Hikaru shouts, excited.
"It's amazing," Nodoka says.
Rabbin says, "It looks really fun."
Mágico, "I'm glad you all think so, maybe you can go over and enjoy yourselves. Then we can return to the castle to have dinner."
"Okay," The group happily says.
Everyone then walks to the park and has some fun. Sunset and Mágico also join them to have fun. Everyone split up into different groups to play. Some of them play at the park, go to the boats to sail on the water, and others walk around the park to see the flowers, trees and plants.
At the swing, Sun and Wire Wolf are at the swing, gently pushing Regana on the swing while Hana and Harry do the same for Hugtan. The two babies look at each other as they giggle with glee.
"I think Hugtan and Regana are becoming good friends," Sun says.
"Yeah. They look so happy together. Hooray hooray Hugtan! Hooray hooray Regana!" Hana happily says, and cheers.
Sun and Wire Wolf laugh with smiles on their face.
"Hoory!" Hugtan happily says.
"Hooray!" Regana happily adds.
"Awww!" Hana and Sun happily say with glee.
Suddenly, they begin to hear guitar strumming. Sun and Hana look to see Emiru and Ruru sitting under a tree as Emiru strums a guitar in her hand.
"What a nice melody," Sun says.
Sunset walks over as she says, "It sure is."
"It's Emiru's song called 'Friends with you' It's their favorite song they love to sing together," Harry says.
Some of the others are caught by the attention of the guitar playing and beautiful melody. Sunset, Mágico, sun holding Regana, Wire Wolf, Hana holding Hugtan, and Wire Wolf walk over to hear Emiru and Ruru. As Emiru plays the guitar, she begins to sing.
Emiru:
Todoketai koto aru nda
(So many things I want to say to you)
Kimi no koto suki nanda
(So many things I love about you)
Futari no hāto ribon de musubu
(Tie our hearts together with a little ribbon)
Tomodachi ni narou yo
(Let's you and I be friends)
Soon, Nodoka, Rabbin, Hormae, Hikaru, Lala, Yuni, Fluttershy, Adagio and her sisters begin to walk over to hear Emiru's singing.
Emiru:
Egao
(You smile)
Ruru:
Egao
(You smile)
Emiru:
Namida
And tears
Ruru:
Namida
(And years)
Gyutto suru mune no oku
(Squeezes something so deep inside)
Emiru and Ruru:
Soko ni kokoro kirameku
(Right there, where our hearts are shining bright)
The friends who arrive on the scene and join in by the others sit down to hear the music.
Emiru and Ruru:
Kimi to watashi dekoboko
(You and I, maybe we're all wrong)
Zenzen chigau futari dane
(Could we be a more different pair)
Keredo hāto hagu kasanetara
(But maybe if we hug our hearts together)
Māruku okkē dayo
(Maybe it'll all be okay)
Emiru:
Zutto zutto
(Forever and ever)
Ruru:
Zutto zutto
(Forever and ever)
Emiru and Ruru:
Tomodachi
(Friends)
Hāto wo ribon de musubou
(Our hearts tied with ribbon)
Emiru performs the last few strums on the guitar and the song comes to a close. Soon, everyone begins to clap and cheer for Emiru's performance. Emiru and Ruru look to see that they have an audience and bow their heads with smiles.
"That song was lovely," Fluttershy says.
"And you two make a great duo," Sonata happily says.
"Your singing is very beautiful, and what's more, it's definitely showing your friendship towards each other," Sun says.
Emiru smiles and says, "Thank you."
"Thank you. Your statement is very accurate and full of kind words," Ruru says.
"I'm really glad," Sun says.
Rainbow then says, "Hey, how about we have a sneak preview of the concert. A little practice run for tomorrow."
"That seems like a good idea, but Rarity and Adagio are both busy with the dresses for tomorrow's ball," Twilight says.
"Aw man, you're right. Rarity plays the Keytar and Adagio is one of our backup singers," Rainbow says.
"Don't worry, we can do something else in the meantime," Sun says
Sunset nods her head, "Well, maybe we can go explore some more. Still, I do like to listen to some of your music."
"I'm sure we can think of something to make it work," Rainbow says.
"Just promise not to show off again," Applejack says.
"Come on, Applejack. I don't show off all the time," Rainbow says.
"Well, maybe most of the time," Applejack comments.
Chiyu turns to Applejack and asks, "So Applejack, what do you do at home?"
"Well, other than being a student at CHS and help defeat magic, and help my friends with our band, I'm at Sweet Apple Acres, picking apples, feeding the animals, taking care of our farm, and all that," Applejack says.
Then asks, "How about you?"
"My family actually owns a Hot Spring Inn. I'm also good with High Jumps," Chiyu says.
"Hi Jump, that's cool," Rainbow says.
Then adds in pride, "I do that too. Also basketball, track and field, horizontal bars, baseball, and all kinds of sports, especially soccer."
"Rainbow is practically the team captain of every team in school," Pinkie says.
"Wow. That's amazing," Pengitan says.
"Thanks," Rainbow says.
"You really are an athlete. I actually used to do figure skating," Homare says.
"Figure skating. That sounds fun, but it has to be hard," Sunset says.
"It was at first, but I kept practicing and I kind of became a famous figure skater, but I ended up getting injured, but I got better. However, I was reluctant about skating again," Homare says.
Sun says, "That must have been hard for you, huh?"
"It was. It was hard that I kept reminding myself about my injury. However, I was kind of able to gain help with my confidence, and it's thanks to Hana and Saaya," Homare says.
"I'm glad to hear. It just shows that we all have our own struggles in our world, struggles that can be hard to bear. Even I had some struggles when I ended up being sent to a different world on my own. However, I've learned that you must always believe in yourself, and that you must try to overcome the struggles you face," Sun says.
"I'm glad to hear that," Homare says.
"Me too," Nodoka says.
"Thanks. It's good to have friends to help support you, but you must find a way to counter those doubts and even make your own dreams come true," Sun says.
Sunset giggles with a smile.
"What's so funny?" Sun asks, curiously.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but the way you talked, you kind of remind me of my old teacher from school. She's one of the few who still comes to visit me in the hospital. She told me that I should never give up and that I need to do my part to help get better. The way you talk, I think you can have a good career as a teacher," Sunset says.
Sun blushes, "Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, I do like to help those in need, and help teach people about friendship, and give them advice."
"Well, I think you'll do a fantastic job if you were a teacher," Pinkie happily says.
Then Sonata says, "You might even be principal someday."
"Let's not get carried away," Sun repelis.
"So what we should do now?" Prunce asks.
Fuwa then flies over with a bouquet of wild flowers, "We can pick flowers! Fuwa!"
"Flowers flowers!" Regana happily says.
"Flowers flowers," Hugtan happily says.
Minami says, "Maybe we could look at the flowers and pick some of the fruits and berries here."
"That's a great idea. Then we can bring them to the castle, "Amora says.
Pafu happily says, "And hopefully eat some too."
"I sure like to pick some berries and fruits," Sunset happily says.
With that, Sun and her friends, along with the Precure groups begin to pick the fruits and berries that are seen around the park. Surprisingly, the fruits and berries are okay to pick.
Amora eats one of the blueberries and says, "The blueberries taste good."
"And the apples taste good too," Fuwa says, and eats an apple.
Kirara giggles and says, "Guys, you know we can't eat them all."
"Sorry, but the fruit and berries taste good," Fuwa happily says.
"They do, huh?" Rainbow asks.
Rainbow then takes an orange from the pear close by and eats it.
Rainbow is surprised, "You're right. This pear even tastes good."
"I'm sure some of them will be great to serve at the ball tomorrow," Yui says.
"Yuni says, "I must agree."
For the rest of the time, Sun, Sunset, and the others pick the fruits, berries, and surprisingly vegetables around the area. Fuwa, Prunce, and some of the little animals along with Fluttershy pick the flowers in the field.
Time has gone by, and the group brings the food items to the castle, later have dinner, and now, everyone is in a large room, wearing pajamas, for a special slumber party. Rarity and Adagio are able to finish all the dresses and accessories for them to try out. They laugh as they play some games and have all kinds of fun for their sleepover. The girls are fixing each other's hair.
"It sure is amazing to see you all have different color hair, it's kind of similar to how all our hair is," Rarity says.
"I agree. You all have different color hair. Rainbow's hair is actually rainbow color," Hinata says.
"I agree, "Your hair is very unique," Minami says.
"Thanks," Rainbow says.
Sun then puts Rainbow's hair into a ponytail and begins to set it in a braid.
"So Sun, what's your home world like? And does everyone from where we form have different pony versions in your world," Sunset asks.
"Yeah. Even your parents have human counterparts. Even though our world has similarities to where Canterlot High is, there are differences too," Sun says.
"Like what?" Lala asks.
"Well, in Equestria, we're inhabited with ponies, dragons, griffins, and many different creatures you know from myth are real where you are," Sun says.
"Does that mean you can use magic in your home world?" Hikaru asks, interested.
"Yeah. Mostly unicorns, or any creatures that are familiar in using magic," Sun says.
Then says, "Another different is that in Equestria, the weather are created by Pegasi."
"Weather doesn't happen on it's own where you live?" Yui asks, curious.
"No. In Equestria, the weather is made in a town called Cloudsdale, which is a cloud city in the sky," Sun says.
"Do they make all the weather in your home world?" Sunset asks.
"They do. In our world, Princess Celestia is in charge of raising the sun to start the day, while Princess Luna raises the moon, creates the stars in the sky, and helps protect our dreams," Sun says.
"Wow! That is so amazing!" Hana says, amazed.
"I'm glad you think so," Sun says.
Just then, Twilight asks, "Hey Sun, is Princess Twilight going to be in charge of raising the sun and moon now."
"Hmm, you know I'm not sure. I didn't really think of it. I'll ask her when we get back," Sun says.
Lala says, "It's amazing how much we're learning about each other. We're all from different homes and have different lives."
"That's what's amazing about friendship. Friendship is all over and it's spread all over. The more friends we have, the greater it feels," Sun says.
Asumi giggles and says, "It sounds like friendship must be the greatest strength in your world."
Latte happily barks and walks to Sun. Then climbs on her and licks her. Sun giggles with a smile.
"She's so cute," Sun says.
"I think it's cool that some of you have princesses and a prince," Falling Star says.
"We're glad you think so. Of course, we all must be ready for the ball tomorrow, so we should get some sleep," Amora says.
Pafu says, "But we were having so much fun, big brother."
"That's true, but the ball is tomorrow so we should get some sleep. Besides, we're going to have a fashion so to start off, and you all will present your dresses for tonight. Then after having refreshments, the bands and singers will play the music," Rarity says.
"Then we'll dance across the ballroom," Sunset says.
Mágico nods his head in reply. But then, he makes a concerned expression on his face.
"Mágico, are you okay?" Sunset asks.
"I'm okay. However, I think it will be a good idea to tell Sun and the others about what's going on," Mágico says.
"Are you sure?" Sunset asks.
"I believe so. I can't stop having this feeling that something bad might happen," Mágico says.
"I understand. We should tell them, and let them know that they need to be on our guard," Sunset says.
"Tell us what?" Haruka asks.
Sunset and Mágico look at each other with skeptic and worried expressions.
Sunset takes a deep breath and says, "Well, um, how can I put it, Mágico and I actually know how you got her and why."
"You do? What didn't you say before?" Applejack asks, confused.
Sunset sighs, "Because I'm practically the reason why you're here," Sunset says.
"You are? Adagio asks, confused.
Arai asks, "How are you the reason why we're here?"
Sun says, "Mágico already told me what is going on, but he wants himself and Sunset to explain it themselves."
"So then… why?" Prunce asks.
Sunset feels a bit nervous and is able to answer, "Because Komonosu said that he, well, needs your magical abilities."
"He needs our magic?" Hana says, confused.
Hikaru asks, "Why does he need our magic?"
Mágico speaks up, "Komonosu said that need to help from all of you to help cure Sunset Shimmer of her illness. We kind of agreed to follow with his plan. He's the one who has transported all of you from your home worlds and brought you into this world."
"So Kumonosu was the reason we were brought here," Wire Wolf says.
Kanata asks, "So then, what is this place?"
"This place is actually the world that Sunset Shimmer created in her dreams. I don't know what Komonosu is planning, but whatever he did, he used some magic to transport all of you into Sunset's dream world. This castle is based on Sunset's imagination," Mágico says.
Applejack quickly asks, "Wait a minute! Let me get this straight, we're inside Sunset Shimmer's head!"
"Kumonosu is the reason why we're sent into this place because he wanted our magic," Hinata says, confused.
"Yes. Even though he said that he'll help Sunset, I feared that he had some hidden objective behind it. However, I don't know what his real objective is or how he plans to take your magic," Mágico says.
Towa says, "So that's what's going on. I did sense something off about Kumonosu, especially since you explained that you're not entirely sure who he is or where he came from."
"So then, what is he up to," Fluttershy says.
"I wish I knew. I know that he said that he wants to help, but we don't really know him. However, I kind of decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and agreed to let him help," Sunset says.
Sun places her hand on Sunset's shoulder, "I understand. It's kind of hard to know how to trust someone you don't know, even if he showed good intentions. However, I've learned that not everyone can be nice as they seem."
"Hugu?" Hugtan says, confused.
Sun then says, "We need to be careful of those who only pretend to be nice and really mean you harm."
"Right," Sunset says.
"Until tomorrow's ball. We'll get to sleep and wait to see what happens. We should also make sure we keep our eyes peeled, we don't know how Kumonosu is going to observe our magic and what he plans to do with it," Sun says.
Everyone agrees to the idea.
Sometime later, everyone including Sunset and Mágico are fast asleep in the large room. They all sleep in sleeping bags close to each other. Sunset is sleeping with Mágico. Sun and Regana are sleeping together. Hana and Hugtan are sleeping together. And some who are pairs are sleeping together too.
Unknown to them, Kumonosu is using his web to spy on everyone as they sleep. She smiles an evil grin as he lets out a chuckle.
"By tomorrow night, I'll be able to drain their magic without them even noticing a thing. And then, I shall reclaim what is mine and have my revenge on the two princesses," Kumonosu evilly says with a grin and maniacally laughs.
Friends with you: HUGtto! Precure
