This has already gone past the overall lateness. Whatever, I don't have anything to say other than the more or less small possibility of having a crossover with Cantata, which, even though to seems like it, is not related to this story in any way. Here is the link. document/d/1RlN_8ikqF_mElHsZ3y41intVFABcvHZjuiR4lXLkGaE Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!


(Xuffie places down her X Crystal, ready to start the recap. An interface shone out of it)

Xuffie: Xuffie's log. Week 8. We found our 22nd pearl in a haunted house. Unfortunately, her pearl is broken so we can't use that pearl as of now. Also, we followed Hanon and Nagisa to a date for some reason. Now, I've seen the preview of the last episode (After all, I was the one who said it) and I must say… Oh gosh! I'm so excited! Sorry. For now, just watch the episode.

(The screen faded to black)

A young Xuffie was walking along a beach near a crystalline city. She saw two lovers sitting on a picnic blanket. She sighed. "February 14th. The day of lovers." she said, "I wish I can love someone someday" Later, she was in her room, drawing love hearts on the X Crystal interface. "Yeah, a boyfriend would be nice" she said, "I should make a gift for whoever will be my boyfriend, just in case." She made a hologram of a heart, and stored it in the X Crystal's database. She giggled. She fell on her bed. "So many couples. I'm quite envious of the girls with boyfriends. When will I have one?" she said to herself. She sighed, then she fell asleep.

Intro

Xuffie was working at the Pearl Piari when Ikuma walked downstairs. "Oh, hey, Xuffie" said Ikuma. "Ah! Ikuma-kun," said Xuffie, "What's up?" "I just got tickets to a rock concert that you might enjoy." said Ikuma, "I thought about inviting you, so I am" "Really?" said Xuffie, "I would love to!" "Okay! I'll see you at 1 o'clock" said Ikuma. He left. "I think I'm heating up" said Xuffie. "What happened?" said Lucia. "Ikuma-kun asked me out on a date!" said Xuffie. "I never heard you use honorifics before" said Lucia. Xuffie blushed. "What's that? Xuffie will be going on a date?" said Hanon. "Yeah!" said Lucia, "Ikuma is taking Xuffie to a rock concert" "Oh gosh! We have to prepare you for your date!" said Hanon, "When is it?" "1 o'clock today" said Xuffie. "That's in 4 hours!" said Hanon, "I'll take you clothes shopping!" "Hanon, I don't need to have a change in clothes" said Xuffie. "But you always wear that same dress!" said Hanon. "It's my favourite dress!" said Xuffie.

Episode 9: Inviting just bonds. Xuffie and Ikuma's tryst. Jump of quizzical white

Karen walked downstairs. "Hey, Lucia. Have you seen Hanon and Xuffie?" said Karen. "Oh, Hanon's taking Xuffie clothes shopping" said Lucia. "Why?" "Apparently, she said that Xuffie wears the same dress every day" "What's wrong with that?" "Maybe she thinks Ikuma needs to look at something different for a change" said Rina. "What do you mean?" said Karen. She was getting more and more confused with what Rina and Lucia were saying. "Ikuma would want to see Xuffie wear something else" said Lucia. "So Hanon thinks Ikuma is bored of that same old dress?" said Karen. "That's basically it" said Lucia. Just then, they heard the doorbell. They opened the door. The three of them saw two girls, the younger one with red hair and the older one with blue hair. "You're the pearls of pink, green and purple." said the blue haired girl, "An interesting colour choice" "I demand that we join you" said the red haired girl. "Okay, who are you?" said Rina. "I am Ozma." announced the older one. "And I demand that I am Viola." shouted the younger one. Ozma turned on Viola. "It's alright," she explained angrily, "You don't need to demand that." "All right!" bawled Viola stomping her foot on the floor, "I am Viola, and that is not a demand, that is a solid fact! What we demand is solid facts!" "No we don't!" exclaimed Ozma in irritation. "That is precisely what we don't demand!" Scarcely pausing for breath, Viola shouted, "We don't demand solid facts! What we demand is a total absence of solid facts. I demand that I may or may not be Viola!" "Okay, but who actually are you?" asked Lucia. "We are the Pearls of Mystery" said Ozma. "Though we may not be." said Viola. "But we are." said Ozma. "The Pearls of Mystery? I never heard of that" said Karen. "I demand that it's because we are the Pearls of Mystery!" said Viola. "Why do you always demand everything?" said Ozma. "It's my way of being assertive." said Viola. "What are the Pearls of Mystery exactly?" said Lucia. "They are a pair of pearl owners which can obscure knowledge from whoever they choose." said Ozma. "We demand that our mission is to protect knowledge and not let it fall into the wrong hands." said Viola. "Right now, we're asking "Where is Xuffie"." said Ozma. "You know Xuffie?" asked Lucia. "She was our colleague" said Ozma, "She told us about the Prophecy of the Pearls a while ago." "Are you from the future?" said Rina. Ozma and Viola nodded. "How did you get here?" said Karen. "You know how Xuffie has her X Crystal?" said Ozma, "We have our own crystals" Ozma and Viola showed the three of them crystals shaped like an O and a V. You can probably guess what they are called. "Now, I demand that you tell us where Xuffie is" said Viola. "She's clothes shopping with our friend, Hanon." said Lucia. "That is so unlike Xuffie" said Viola. "It sure is" said Ozma.

Later that day, Hippo was taking a bath. Just then, Xuffie came in shouting, "Ah! Hippo! I'm so happy…" She got splashed on by Hippo. "Ah! And you say I'm a pervert!" said Hippo. "Oh, sorry" said Xuffie, "Also, did you know that my friends came in today?" "Yeah, I did." said Hippo. "I wonder where they are." said Xuffie. "Oh, well. I better be going. Don't want to be late for my date with Ikuma!" said Xuffie. She left. What she didn't realize was Ozma and Viola watching her. "A date? With a human male?" said Ozma, "This isn't going to go well." "Ah, this boy looks cute" said a distracted Viola, "I demand to get closer to him" "Maybe it's better if he actually gets dressed first." said Ozma, "Besides, we're not here to spy on shotas. We're here to find Xuffie." "Oh, right" said Viola, "Still. I demand to ask him out." "That's precisely what we're not allowing!" said Ozma, "Remember Weiss?" "I demand you not remind me about her" said Viola. "Well, if we don't want her to meet Weiss's fate, we should follow her" said Ozma, "She's cautious, but let's just make sure" Viola nodded. "And after we do that, we can talk to that boy. I demand to do that." she added. Ozma sighed. "Let's just leave" said Ozma. "Okay…" said Viola. The two of them left. Viola ran back. "Ah! He's getting out!" said Viola. "Viola! You pervert!" said Ozma, "Stay focused" Ozma dragged Viola out.

Xuffie met up with Ikuma at the concert stage place. "Well, here we are." said Ikuma. "So, what do we do now?" asked Xuffie. "Let's go in." said Ikuma. The two of them went inside. "Do you need to use the toilet?" asked Ikuma. "No need. I already went." said Xuffie. Xuffie paused. "I feel like I'm being watched." she said. "It's probably nothing." said Ikuma. "Yeah you're probably right" said Xuffie. As you know, they are being watched by Ozma and Viola. "A rock concert huh?" said Ozma. "I've never been to one!" said Viola. "Well, we better follow Xuffie." said Ozma. They snuck in. Meanwhile, Xuffie and Ikuma found their seats. "Wow! It's good that you are able to get front seats!" said Xuffie. "I did do a bit of bargaining, but I managed to get this from a friend of a friend of a friend." said Ikuma. "He's seriously dedicated to her." said Viola. "But she's forgetting about Weiss." said Ozma. "And she's in the front seat, meaning we can't see her properly" said Viola. Ozma got out her O Crystal and pointed it at Xuffie and Ikuma. "Good thinking" said Viola. "You know, I have to tell you something." said Ikuma, "Meet me at the beach in 8 hours" "Will do!" said Xuffie. "Oh gosh, what does he want to tell me?" Xuffie thought, "Maybe he wants to…" "I'll promise not to be late!" said Xuffie, "In fact, I'll set a reminder!" Xuffie got out her X Crystal and set it to notify her. "Just what is he going to tell her?" said Ozma, "If it is a marriage proposal, then it will all be over for her!" "I demand to get closer to them!" said Viola. "But we might risk losing our cover!" said Ozma, "But we can tell her when she comes back" "Good plan!" said Viola. They continued to watch. "Can you really call this music?" said Viola, "It's all just noise!" "Maybe that's the music popular in this era" said Ozma. "If it is, then why are we even here?" said Viola. Ozma looked at her. "Oh, right." said Viola, "At least we have earmuffs"

Xuffie went back to the Pearl Piari. She saw Ozma and Viola. "Hey, Ozma, Viola!" said Xuffie. "You're going to sneak out to see a human, right?" said Ozma. "What's wrong with that?" said Xuffie. "You know what's wrong." said Viola. Xuffie thought about it, then suddenly she knew what was wrong. "Oh no" said Xuffie. "I knew it." said Viola. She saw Hippo. "Ah! It's you!" said Viola. She ran over to him. "I demand you to go out with me!" she quickly said. Xuffie and Ozma looked at them. "I have a girlfriend." said Hippo. Viola became incapacitated from the shock. "Well that put an end to that" said Ozma, "But you still need to stop your relationship with Ikuma!" "How long were you following me?" said Xuffie. "Don't say this to Hippo, but we were watching you starting from when you interrupted his bath" said Ozma. "Are you sure you were watching me?" said Xuffie. "I wasn't there to spy on him naked! It was only Viola! I paid no interest to that boy!" said Ozma, "Besides, are you forgetting the matter at hand?" Xuffie stopped. "I guess I am." said Xuffie. She left. "That's one problem solved" said Ozma, "Now I just have to find out what Ikuma is planning to say. And to stop Viola's incapacitation." "Also Hippo, Viola was watching you take a bath" said Xuffie. Ozma facepalmed. "Seriously, Xuffie?" she said. She sighed. She dragged Viola out.

Eyecatch: Xuffie

Hanon went up to Xuffie. "Why are you here?" said Hanon. "I promised to come, but they won't let me." said Xuffie. "Who? Ozma and Viola?" asked Hanon. Xuffie nodded. "More importantly, I blame myself for her death." said Xuffie. "Whose death?" asked Hanon. Xuffie started to explain. "Ozma and Viola weren't my only colleagues." said Xuffie, "I had another colleague" "What was her name?" said Hanon. "Her name was Weiss. We were best friends." said Xuffie, "One day, she met a boy, and fell in love with him. Ozma and Viola were suspicious of him, but Weiss didn't care. And neither did I. I told her to go with that boy no matter what Ozma and Viola said. I'm such a dumb girl" "What happened?" said Hanon. "One day, she went out with that boy, and she didn't come back. I thought she was sick and the boy was taking care of her, but Ozma and Viola knew it was because of another reason, a reason I didn't know, the correct reason. I set out and investigated what happened to her. When I went to the boy's house, he opened the door. When I asked where Weiss was, he smiled and led me to the dining room. He then opened the refrigerator when to our shock, there was Weiss's body, being torn into pieces with part of her flesh being eaten." "That's brutal!" said Hanon. "But that's not all" said Xuffie, "I'm too scared to tell the next part. I get scared by even remembering it." "Don't worry, you'll be fine" said Hanon. "I'm still too scared to tell the event, but, unfortunately for me, my crystal recorded an audio transcript" said Xuffie. She closed her eyes and played the recording. "Wh… What did you do to her?!" said a voice recognisable as Xuffie's. "I merely killed her. Like I'm about to do with you!" replied another voice, a male voice. "No! Please don't!" Suddenly, sounds of a knife cutting flesh were heard. Then sounds of a raging fire were heard. The recording finished, much to Xuffie's relief. "Were you killed?" asked Hanon. "Fortunately, no. My crystal protected me from the fire" said Xuffie, "But I still have the scar on my back." "Do you remember the name of the boy?" said Hanon. "I don't, but I believe he was possessed by the same ghost that possessed Mimi's killer" said Xuffie, "I wanted a boyfriend like her, but at the same time, I didn't want to meet Weiss's fate. Even when I met Ikuma, I was sort of afraid until I found out he was a pearl." "But at least he would never hurt you." said Hanon. "Yeah, you're right." said Xuffie, "I won't be afraid any longer!" She ran out of the room.

"Are you seriously going to ignore our advice?" said Ozma. "You know that I want to avoid Weiss's fate" said Xuffie. "Then why are you still doing this?" said Viola. "I know for a fact that he wouldn't try to kill me!" said Xuffie. "How can you be so sure?" said Ozma. "I'm sure!" said Xuffie. "Fine, I'll let you go out with that boy." said Ozma. "But we demand that we should go with you!" said Viola. "Why are you doing this!" said Xuffie. "I don't want anything bad to happen to you." said Viola. "I can take care of myself." said Xuffie. "Xuffie! Do you know anything about this boy?" said Ozma. "I do!" said Xuffie, "And I made a promise to him that I will come!" "Like I said, we'll let you" said Ozma. "Okay! You can come, but no stalking!" said Xuffie. "If we don't stalk, then what's the point of us coming?" said Viola. "You can watch, but if something requires privacy, do not look." said Xuffie. "Okay" said Ozma. "That boy won't even know we're here!" said Viola. Cut to Xuffie in her room. She looked at the short white and blue dress Hanon bought for her. She took off the dress she was wearing and revealed to you a cross shaped knife wound. She put on the other dress and braided her hair. She walked out of her room. "That looks so nice!" said Viola. "It's because Hanon chose it." said Xuffie. The X Crystal lit up. "We should get going" said Viola. "Ikuma is probably waiting for me" said Xuffie. The three of them left.

Xuffie walked onto the beach. She saw Ikuma waiting for her on a rock. "Xuffie-chan, you came!" said Ikuma. "Yeah. Surprising, isn't it" said Xuffie, "I have a gift for you" She got out her X Crystal and showed him the holographic love-heart she made that Valentine's day. "Wow! This looks impressive" said Ikuma. "I made it when I was a hormone-induced teenager." said Xuffie. "You were dedicated to finding a boyfriend back then." said Ikuma. "But now I have." said Xuffie. "I still have doubts about that boy" said Ozma. "But doesn't this feel like the day before that dreaded day" said Viola. "Yeah, it does" said Ozma. "It feels like they know something we don't." said Viola. "But that's impossible" said Ozma, "There's not a single secret we can't find out about!" "You're right" said Viola, "But maybe it's a secret that should be known" "Well let's continue watching" said Ozma. They continued to watch. "Xuffie, the night sky looks beautiful, doesn't it?" said Ikuma. "Oh yeah, it sure does" said Xuffie, "Come to think of it, I haven't stopped to look at the night sky in a while" "There's someone more beautiful right next to me" said Ikuma. Xuffie blushed. "Thanks for the compliment." she said. "You're welcome." said Ikuma. "So, what did you want to talk about?" said Xuffie. "Xuffie, you are the kindest person I've ever met. I wanted to say my true feelings to you. Now, the day has come." said Ikuma, "Xuffie, I love you. Like time and space, I hope this love will have no end." Xuffie smiled. "Oh… I love you too" "Wow! That's so romantic" said Viola. "I actually have less doubts about him" said Ozma, "I don't think he'll let Xuffie get harmed." Ikuma got out a small box and opened it to reveal a crystal ring. "It's quartz. My favourite mineral" said Xuffie, "How did you know?" "You told me about it" said Ikuma, "Now…" He got down on one knee. "Xuffie, will you…" Just then, Kiha and Lanhua appeared out of nowhere. "Kiha! Lanhua!" said Xuffie. Ozma and Viola ran out of their nonexistent hiding place. "It's that demon!" said Ozma. "And someone else!" said Viola. "Who are you two?" said Ikuma. "No time to explain!" said Viola. "Ikuma! Let's transform!" said Xuffie. "Wait, you are a pearl?" said Viola, "Why didn't you tell us?" "I never met you two in my life!" said Ikuma. "Like Viola said, we don't have time!" said Xuffie. "White Pearl Voice!" "Black Pearl Voice!" "Secret Pearls Voice!" Ozma's idol forme was a short blue dress decorated with black and white circles. Viola's idol forme was a short red dress decorated with black and white V shapes. "Kiha-sama, who are those two?" said Lanhua. "Can't say for sure, but they are the Pearls of Secrets." said Kiha. "We demand that we are!" said Viola, "And now, we demand you will not be forgiven for interrupting a boy's marriage proposal!" "More importantly, my marriage proposal!" said Ikuma. "You were defeated by the power of love before." said Xuffie, "Now you will be again!" "I won't lose this time!" said Kiha. He attempted to use his K Destroyer, but it wasn't there. He saw Viola with it. "Looking for something?" said Viola. Lanhua threw her folding fan, knocking it off of Viola's hand. "I don't need it anyway" said Viola. "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"

"So, about my marriage proposal…" said Ikuma, "Have you decided on an answer?" "Not yet." said Xuffie, "Don't get me wrong, I do want to marry you, it's just that… Have I ever told you I'm from the future?" "No, you haven't told me." said Ikuma, "Some day, you'll have to go back to your own time." "And there's the problem of Kiha and Lanhua" said Xuffie. Ikuma thought about it. He got out a piece of paper and wrote down a time and some coordinates. "When you have an answer for my proposal, meet me at this time and place." he said. "This is a long time away, are you sure you can wait that long for an answer?" said Xuffie. "You can come earlier if you want." said Ikuma, "But remember I'll be waiting every day for you there." Xuffie smiled. The paper read, "1st of October 2006. 11:09am. 35.6597° N, 139.7635° E"
