"Ellen, you're coming to the party, right?"
"You mean the PreCure All Stars?" Ellen looks up from tuning her guitar. "I wasn't planning on it."
"What?" Hibiki looks surprised. "You have to go! I don't want to be the only girl from our year, and Cure Muse won't even talk to me!"
"Sorry, but my career is more important. I've got a gig that day. Why don't you ask Cure Rhythm?"
"Why bring me into this?" Kanade asks angrily. "I don't want to do anything with her!"
"Yeah?" Hibiki sneers. "Well, I don't want to do anything with you, either!"
"Just what is the problem you two have with each other? You both get all catty whenever you're in the same place."
Hibiki stands up. "The problem is that I thought we were best friends, but when we agreed to enter middle school together on the first day, I waited by the gate and she went in without me!"
"I waited by the gate!" Kanade shouts, getting up. "You were the one who never came!"
"I think I'll just go and forget I asked," Ellen says, slinging her guitar across her back as she rises.
The pair continue bickering as Ellen walks away, but suddenly she pauses. "It couldn't be something like that, right?"
"What?" "What?" Both girls ask at the same time.
"It's probably nothing, but do you mind if I ask which gate you waited at?"
"The east gate!" "The west gate!"
Realizing that they answered differently, Hibiki and Kanade turn their attention back to each other.
"This whole time, we've been fighting over a misunderstanding?"
Ellen shakes her head as she walks away.
