Kiriko and Asuna arrived at the front of the school and were surprised to find that Sophie was still there, waiting for them. Sophie was sitting on a bench, looking around to see if anyone was coming her way before she set eyes on the girls. Kiriko walked ahead and greeted Sophie in a very friendly and welcoming manner. She extended her hand to Sophie when they came closer and said,
"Hi Sophie! It's such a pleasure to meet you! My name is Kiriko and this is my friend Asuna, we're the ones who contacted you for the photo shoot!"
Sophie gingerly shook her hand, looking at the girls suspiciously. There was something off about them, somehow Sophie felt as if she had already met them. She just couldn't figure out where. Sophie then offered them a smile and the girls led her into the school.
"Aren't they those girls who were fighting against that giant robot?" Sophie thought to herself.
The girls walked inside the school, past the near empty and quiet halls to reach the classroom that Kiriko and Asuna set up for Sophie. Sophie looked around the halls of the schools, surprised by the absence of sound and students. It wasn't really something she was used to, considering she was only at school during it's regular hours. Sophie then looked at the girls in front of her and wondered whether or not it was a coincidence that the girls leading her to their club were the same ones she saw fight against that huge robot monster.
Sophie looked at Kiriko, who had her gaze set solely on the classroom they were approaching. She seemed like a serious girl, and was most likely the one who had sent her the email, as it did sound quite business-oriented coming from a high-school student. Sophie then glanced over to Asuna, who was just scrolling through messages on her phone. Asuna appeared to be a lot less interested, but since she was one of the magical girls Sophie saw fighting earlier, she had to have some part in this. She sorta seemed like a reluctant hero.
Before Sophie could draw any further conclusions, the three of them arrived in front of a classroom door. Kiriko then opened it and held the door open for Sophie and Asuna. Sophie took in her surroundings. The classroom seemed fairly average for the most part, but the one thing that stuck out the most what was appeared to be a display case for a puppet show. Kiriko then motioned for Sophie to take a seat in the chair right in front of the display case and the pair just stood before her.
"Ok so...we have to show you something really important." Kiriko began nervously," We weren't sure how to tell you this so we figured, this would be our best bet."
Sophie didn't say a word and the girls just went behind the display case.
The curtains of the display case were opened and it revealed a kingdom with a pastel pink and blue sky with glitter glue spread over it. In fact, it appeared that everything in the kingdom was pastel coloured and glittery.
"Many, many years ago there was a woman named Cure Cheer who protected a kingdom realms away from here." Kiriko narrated, holding up the Cure Cheer puppet," This kingdom was called the Laruan kingdom."
"Cure Cheer was a valiant, strong warrior. She was a mysterious woman but she was unrivaled in magical power. But then one day, a woman named Lilith appeared out of nowhere and the two fought to the death. Lilith was defeated, and Cure Cheer had died in battle. But thanks to Cure Cheer's sacrifice, the Laruan Kingdom was peaceful again."
"Years later, on the day of Princess Arabella's coronation, Lilith made an appearance and tried to steal the well that the kingdom gets all of it's magic from." Asuna narrated as she held up the Arabella puppet while Kiriko held up the Queen Imogen and King Sterling puppets. Asuna then changed the background to the fields where the well had been located.
"Arabella fought in the place of Cure Cheer, but Lilith outsmarted her and took the well and Arabella away." Asuna narrated, making the Arabella puppet fall out of view.
The backdrop changed again and the Imogen and Sterling puppets were seen next to puppets of Rani and Nova.
"And so, King Sterling and Queen Imogen made the decision to send two fairies into the human world to find new Pretty Cure to help them defeat Lilith." Kiriko narrated as Asuna changed the backdrop with her free hand.
The girls then held up puppets for Cure Dolly and Teddy, with Asuna narrating," Ever since that day, Rani and Nova have been successful in finding the Pretty Cures, and they have fought hard against their enemies."
Kiriko narrarated,"But now, they think there is another Pretty Cure among us and they think it's...you!"
Sophie then started clapping as soon as the curtains closed. Their play was very entertaining, though she wasn't expecting to see that when she came here.
"That was very cute!" Sophie exclaimed as she continued to clap," So...I take it the stunt outside was like some kinda live-action version of this?"
Kiriko's eyes widened in surprise, and she stammered out," No, that was the real thing! We were trying to tell you that even though we don't know you very well, we think you're a member of our team."
"What...?" Sophie said with a blank look on her face," I can't. I'm not magical or anything like that, I think you've got the wrong girl."
"We both felt this kind of magic when we saw a photo of you...I know it sounds weird but, it's true!" Kiriko claimed defensively before her gaze fell to the ground.
"By the way, there isn't a photo shoot." Asuna chimed in," We said that because we figured it'd be the only way to get your attention."
Sophie then remained quiet with an unreadable expression on her face. Kiriko started to feel guilty again and continued to stare at the floor while Asuna just kept her gaze on Sophie.
"How are you so sure it's me though?" Sophie then asked," Lots of people think I'm magic."
Asuna rolled her eyes and briskly explained with,"Well, real life magic works a lot differently that an empty compliment. We can sense things and we can tell who has strong powers and who doesn't. You knew we were the girls fighting the robots before right? How did you know that?"
Sophie laughed uncomfortably and then said," Well because...it was obvious. I'm sure anyone would be able to tell that it was you guys, it's not that hard."
"Really, because...I think you were able to sense it." Asuna suggested as she took a seat next to Sophie,"Think about it, you've never even met us before and you already knew that we were the same girls who you saw fighting earlier.
Sophie stayed quiet and so Kiriko felt the need to intervene by saying," Ok, maybe we were wrong. We...can make mistakes too. We're sorry for wasting your time like this Ms. Aina and-"
"Kiriko, zip it." Asuna said impatiently, her gaze still narrowed in on Sophie,"We get it if you don't feel comfortable in working with us, we don't know each other all that well. But...at least sleep on it, we really need your help."
Neither Kiriko or Sophie were expecting Asuna to be so considerate and a silence fell over the room.
Sophie then spoke up again and said," I just don't know if I should. To be honest, I like the idea of helping others but...I don't know if I should at a time like this. I'm sort of busy and I don't want to be a teammate that you won't be able to depend. Maybe I could do this part time or something?"
Kiriko and Asuna exchanged looks, both of them appearing to be unsure of the idea.
"Ok, so I guess that's out of the question. Alright, I will just sleep on it and figure it out ok?" Sophie concluded," But, you two need to understand that well, as I much as I'd like to...I'm not really able to. I...I'll try to get back to you soon."
Sophie then gathered her things and left as quickly as she could. Kiriko wanted to run after her, feeling as if they somehow had upset Sophie but she wasn't sure why. Asuna stopped her from doing so though. Asuna then pulled up a seat for Kiriko.
"She'll come around. We just have to give her some time."Asuna stated, with Kiriko nodding in response, though the latter had a vacant look in her eye.
"Yeah you're right..." Kiriko responded, though her tone wasn't very convincing.
When Sophie got on the bus, she finally was getting all those stares from high-school students she frequently received in public and while she had gotten used to it and would usually be inviting and kind to her fans, today she was just too caught up in her thoughts to pay any attention to them. Today really didn't go as expected and Sophie was currently trying to determine why she was feeling so disappointed right now. At first, she thought it was because she didn't get to have a photo shoot today but, that didn't feel quite right. She decided that she'd rather not think about it and just focus on other things as she scrolled through her phone.
Just then her phone started to ring and Sophie answered it immediately after seeing who was on the other line.
Sophie said,"Hey-"
"-How did everything go? There weren't any creeps there right? Just a normal photo shoot?" Cho probed into the phone, sounding a bit anxious.
"It was fine." Sophie answered, her tone a lot colder than usual," I can tell you all about it tomorrow ok?"
Cho was quiet on the other side for a few moments, since Sophie had seldom spoke to her like and said," Ok, see you tomorrow."
Soon after, Sophie arrived home and was greeted by her mother and her four younger siblings, Eric, Liam, Anika, and Inna.
"Welcome home Sophie, dinner will be ready soon." Her mother called out from the kitchen," Can you keep an eye on your siblings for now?"
"Yeah of course." Sophie said as she took a seat on the center of the longest couch in the living room. Her siblings then crowded around, each of them trying to have a conversation with her. The kids were louder than usual, probably because she came home later than they expected. They all appeared to be as excited as ever though.
"Sophie me and Liam and wanna to play the party game but both of us want to be Mario!" Eric shouted with his younger brother giving him an angry look.
"I said I wanted Mario first so I should play him!" Liam claimed, practically screaming in Sophie's ear.
"Ok, how about this?" Sophie began," Neither of you plays Mario this round so it's fair ok?"
"Ok..." The boys said together, sounding unstatisfied with Sophie's response and went to play their game.
"Sophieeeeee! I saw a pretty dress in this book I got from the library!" Anika exclaimed before rushing to her backpack to get the book. She flipped to the page as quickly as she could and pointed to the dress while showing it to Sophie.
"It looks like this! Can I have one just like it?" Anika asked as Sophie took the book from her to get a closer look.
"Ooh, you're right Anika, this is a pretty dress." Sophie commented as she brought Anika closer to her," I think a nice satiny fabric would make this dress look super pretty. I think I can make it. Just let me take a picture of the dress before you give the book back alright?"
Anika nodded and then Inna asked," Can I have one too?"
Sophie laughed and put her arm around Inna saying," You sure can."
Sophie and her little sisters watched the boys played a game of Mario Party until dinner was ready. The boys weren't very good at their game but lucky for them, they had three handicap stars so they were most likely going to win this match. Just before they got to finish their game though, Sophie's mother called them to the kitchen and dinner was served.
Today they had spaghetti, which was easily the favourite meal for Sophie's younger siblings. But, they were messy eaters and tomato sauce was virtually everywhere. Sophie didn't really mind too much, she thought it was actually kind of cute and patiently cleaned off the tomato sauce from Anika and Eric's face while her mother handled Liam and Inna. The kids then went back to their game and Sophie helped her mom do the dishes.
"So how was school today?" Sophie's mom asked as she scrubbed a dish coated with sauce," You said you had to go somewhere after class, did you have any trouble finding the place?"
Sophie shook her head as she rinsed off another plate as she said," No, the problem was well...never mind. It was ok, but things didn't go as I planned. I guess I thought I was going to make new friends but...that didn't really happen."
"I see." Sophie's mom commented. Sophie and her mom were almost finished cleaning the dishes and once they were done, Sophie went up to her bedroom.
Sophie's bedroom was painted a very calming shade of blue and the room itself was quite spacious. Not just because she had a big room but because, she didn't really have much inside of it. Sophie's room seemed to have been inspired by minimalism with the low amount of things she kept out in the open. She didn't even have many posters up in her room either. All one could see in Sophie's room was a white desk with a laptop, a sewing machine on a table on the other side of the room, her double sized bed with blue sheets and yellow throw pillows and a painting of a river populated by ducks hung above her bed.
She was laying on her bed with her head at the foot of it and rereading the message the girls had sent her last week. Something about it was bothering her but she just wasn't sure about what it was.
"Was I so annoyed because...I was hoping that they'd want to be friends with me?" Sophie asked herself as she put her phone down for a few moments and sat upright," I mean...I guess it does make sense. I don't have many friends to begin with, so for these two to just contact me like that, I guess that made me expect them to want to get to know me, without all the idolizing. But, they didn't want to get to know me because I'm a model. They...they needed me."
Sophie sat cross-legged on her bed, unsure of what she should do. Maybe she should've given the girls a chance. But...would her own busy life allow her to take on such a task? She hugged her legs and thought about what to do. Declining their offer would mean she could live her life as she normally would as she wouldn't have to worry about fighting some gigantic monster that appeared out of the blue. She could just focus on school work and modeling as always, and everything would remain the exact same.
The 'exact same' of course, had some drawbacks but, it wasn't anything she wasn't used to. People treating her like a celebrity and perceiving her as someone who thinks she's above everyone else. There really wasn't an in between but, she was ok with it. She had people in her life that saw her for who she really was. It might not have been a lot of people, but it didn't matter. But, this obviously wasn't only about her, those girls were fighting in order to protect others and chances are, they didn't intend to be a part of this either.
"They're asking for a lot from me but...what would happen if I say no?" Sophie asked aloud.
The next day, Kiriko, Asuna and the fairies decided to have lunch together to talk about what happened yesterday. Kiriko was awfully quiet though and would only chime in to correct Rani or Nova as Asuna relayed yesterday's events to them.
"She seems nice but the issue is getting her on board with us." Asuna explained, while eating her lunch," Surprising no one, she said that she'd probably be too busy to help us out because she's got school and modeling stuff to do."
"Hm, Kiriko she kinda sounds like you when you first became a Pretty Cure." Rani noted as she looked over to Kiriko.
"Really? I don't know...I guess I didn't really see it like that." Kiriko explained in an uneasy voice," All that was going through my mind was that she's a model, she's probably busy and doesn't have the time for us."
"But whether or not she was busy she did make time to see you guys." Nova reminded them," And first and foremost, I think you guys forgot about something when explaining everything to Sophie."
Kiriko and Asuna remained quiet as they tried to think of what it was that had been left out.
"Isn't this funny?" Jack remarked sitting on a bench next to Domino," You were making fun of me because I was avoiding Lilith and now look at what you're doing!"
Domino rolled his eyes and shook his head before he took a deep breath saying," I'll have you know that I did discuss the outcome of the last encounter with Lilith, very briefly I might add."
"Go on." Jack beckoned in a near imperative voice as he crossed his legs.
Domino didn't even look at Jack, knowing that his brother was likely wearing a very excited look on his face. Domino instead looked straight ahead and unwillingly continued his story.
"So, I went to go see Lilith and I explained what happened. I made sure to tell her that this had been a test run of sorts." Domino explained patiently," Only, she didn't take it as I expected. Lilith said she had enough with test-runs and was completely irate. So I weighed out my options in order to determine what to do next and thus I decided that I should simply keep a low profile. And that is why I have been absent at Asperity."
Jack then burst out into laughter, further agitating Domino. Not only was Jack's laughter loud, it was obnoxious too. So obnoxious that Jack had been receiving quite a few stares from passerbys. Not to say they hadn't already been garnering quite a bit of attention with their odd appearances, it's just that the amount of attention had doubled now because of Jack.
Domino shook his head and Jack wiped a tear from his eye saying," And aren't you supposed to be the oldest too? Imagine that, getting scared of someone who's younger than you and having to escape to the human world just so you can hide from her!"
"You know things are much, much different now so it's not as if I'm merely running away from Lili!" Domino exasperated defensively before he drew out another sigh," She's...very different now too."
"So, how are you going to make things up to her?" Jack asked curiously.
"I'm going to fix everything with this!" Domino proclaimed as he revealed yet another blueprint that had been stowed away in his jacket," This plan is going to work without a doubt, I'm a hundred, no, a thousand percent sure!"
A week later, when Sophie had left school immediately after class had ended, she inevitably aroused Cho's suspicions, and all Sophie could say was that she had something urgent to attend to. Cho would've stopped her, but Sophie really seemed like she was in a hurry, so Cho let her go. But of course, Cho wasn't going to waste her time before class next week to ask about it.
Sophie got on the bus and impatiently looked out the window as it drove further and further away from the she was feeling all sorts of uneasy, but the thing that had been bothering her the most was the idea of going to see Kiriko and Asuna again. She wasn't really sure how to articulate the thoughts going through her head but she knew this had to be done. Sophie put her headphones and tried put herself at ease as she rode the bus.
Meanwhile, Kiriko and Asuna were sitting at the tables near the school building, waiting for Sophie. Sophie had sent Kiriko a text message earlier saying that she wanted to meet the girls after school to further discuss things with them. Kiriko had been shocked to receive the message, believing that Sophie wasn't going to want to have anything to do with them. Asuna on the other hand, seemed a bit restless as she tapped her fingers against table.
"Doesn't she have plans on her Friday afternoon? I'm not trying to spend the rest of the day here." Asuna griped as she rested her head on the table.
"She's probably been busy, you should be thankful she's even coming to meet with us in the first place." Kiriko chided, keeping her eyes on her phone screen.
Suddenly, the girls heard an awfully loud scream from a few feet away and immediately rushed to the scene. Standing at the front of the school was Domino holding a neon blue yoyo with it's string all tangled up. A student was laying unconscious in front of him and gallantly he shouted out,
"Do your worst, Defective!"
He tossed up the yo-yo he held in his hands and the yo-yo turned into a Defective.
Kiriko looked unusually impatient and just retrieved her PlayPact from her bag, with Asuna following suite.
"Pretty Cure, it's playtime!" The girls shouted in unison as an array of purple and orange lights appeared from their Playpacts.
"The Princess of wishes, Cure Dolly!" Dolly introduced.
"The dame of hope, Cure Teddy!" Teddy introduced.
The Pretty Cure dashed to the scene, standing before Domino and his newly formed Defective. Asuna held her fists in front of herself, and Dolly simply folded her arms while wearing a rather irritated look on her face.
"Hey Domino, do you jerks at Asperity have a thing for planning your attacks at the worst times possible?" Dolly asked as she narrowed her eyes at the Defective.
"No, I suppose we're just lucky that way." Domino answered with a smile forming on his face as he leapt up high to watch the fight from a safe distance.
"Pretty Cure, Gale of Wishes!" Dolly shouted as a pair of violet whirlwinds appeared from both of her hands. The attack hit the Defective dead on, but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on it. After being hit with the attack, the loop on the Defective's string got caught on a lamp post and the Defective launched itself back at the Cures.
The Cures impulsively ducked and watched as the Defective collided with the school building. The two of them stared at the Defective for a few moments, taking note of the fact that a small crater in the school building had been made.
"Maybe you shouldn't do that." Teddy commented after a few moments, with Dolly nodding in response.
Sophie arrived at the school and was surprised to find the school was empty again, but what surprised her even more was seeing a giant yo-yo monster getting launched up into the air by the Pretty Cure. Sophie's mouth was agape as she watched the Defective plummet back to earth.
"They're at it again?" Sophie asked in an incredulous tone as the Defective met the ground," What should I do?"
Teddy was trying to engage in combat against the Defective, but the Defective wasn't giving her any openings. Just then, the Defective unraveled it's string and encircled it around Teddy. Once Teddy was held tight in the Defective's grip, the Defective let go of her by pulling back the string, causing her to spin around. By the time the spinning was done, Teddy was quite dizzy and a tad nauseous.
"God, I'm getting real sick of this thing!" Teddy lamented as she tried to gain balance.
Dolly offered her teammate a look of sympathy before she saw the Defective getting ready to preform the same attack again. Dolly's eyes widened and she darted towards them.
"Teddy watch out!" She shouted, trying to get Teddy out of the way, but only getting both of them caught in the attack.
Dolly and Teddy were bound in the string of the Defective, but this time, the Defective wasn't letting go. Domino then came back down to the ground and wore a smug look on his face as he approached the Pretty Cure.
"Well, it's about time." Domino said to the girls," You girls have been causing me so much unnecessary anguish. Slaving away at my blueprints, only to get berated by Lilith for all of my shortcomings. But now this dreadful era has at last come to an end. Your adventure ends here."
The Pretty Cure were still trying to break free from the Defective's clutch and had only been half-listening to Domino.
"Look creep, you're not through with us yet." Teddy declared as she and Dolly writhed around within the Defective's grip," We won't let you get away with this!"
"Well, who's going to stop me?" Domino questioned inquisitively.
"I am." Sophie said as she walked towards them," I'm going to be putting an end to this whether you like it or not."
Domino examined Sophie as she reached the group. He could feel the magic coming from her and he despised the fact that it was as strong as the Pretty Cures. He then reminded himself that even if she was as strong as them, it wasn't as if she couldn't be brought down by his Defective as well.
"Wow, aren't we brave? Rushing into a pointless defeat like this," Domino remarked as he put on his goggles," You seem like a smart girl so I'm giving you a fair warning. You're better off leaving, this doesn't concern you."
Sophie had an indecisive look on her face but then said," I'm not going anywhere. I admit I don't know much about you but what I do know is that you're hurting these innocent girls and I won't stand for that!"
"Good grief, you're much more stubborn than I had expected." Domino admitted tiredly," However, I'll have you know that I'm not interested in meeting defeat either."
Domino then turned around to face his Defective to say," Ditch the string so we can get rid of her while we still can."
The Defective did as told and removed the string from it's body, with the Cures still being held captive. The Defective then zipped towards Sophie as fast as it could. Domino laughed at the sight, as Sophie looked like a deer in the headlights without a clue of what she could do.
"See, this is what happens when you don't listen to some friendly advice." Domino explained as the Defective rushed past him," You think you're so high and mighty and then all of a sudden you'll be down on your knees begging for mercy!"
"I'm not going to be an opponent who will turn my back on my beliefs! If I think something is wrong, then I'll put an end to it!" Sophie shouted as the Defective drew closer to her," Starting with you! I'm going to be the one who serves defeat and I'm going to do the right thing, no matter what!"
Just then, the atmosphere around Sophie turned yellow and blue and floating right in front of her was a blue, yellow and orange PlayPact.
"What on earth is going on?" Sophie asked as she looked around," Does this mean...I'm a Pretty Cure too?"
"Sophie, use the PlayPact and shout 'Pretty Cure, it's playtime'!" Dolly called out to her.
Sophie nodded and then did as instructed, holding the PlayPact in her hands and shouting," Pretty Cure, it's playtime!"
Sophie was transported to a bright sparkling yellow void where lights danced all around her. The lights covered her body and once they disappeared, a short sleeved yellow button shirt with a blue and orange vest was in it's place. She twirled around like a ballerina and a blue and yellow skirt reaching her knees had materialized onto her body. Next, she gracefully held her hands out and a pair of yellow and blue sleeveless gloves extended to her forearms had appeared. Next, she jumped up high and a pair of yellow boots with blue polka dots covered her feet. She then placed her hands over her chest and an orange bow with a rain drop in the center was formed, along with a larger orange bow on her back. Lastly, she ran her hands through her hair and it got longer and turned tangerine orange, with a yellow and blue sailor's hat appearing on top of her head.
She opened her now orange eyes and said," The sailor of justice, Cure Bubbly!"
"Not another one!" Domino shouted angrily as Bubbly stood before them.
"Ok so...that just happened." Bubbly stated as she studied her hands, not feeling any different just yet.
"That's it, I've had enough of playing around." Domino declared as he pointed his index finger at Bubbly," You're history, you insufferable brat!"
The Defective dashed to Bubbly and so, Bubbly jumped up higher than she intended to in order to evade the attack.
"Oh my god, how do I control this?!" Bubbly hollered as she held onto her hat.
"Look at her go." Teddy remarked sarcastically, while Dolly just shook her head.
"Don't act on impulse, otherwise any action you do gets stronger than expected!" Dolly shouted out to her, but she couldn't tell if Bubbly heard her.
Once Bubbly landed on her feet, she took a deep breath and stared down her opponent, saying," Ok, that wasn't so bad. I may've just jumped about a hundred feet up in midair, but I'm fine. Now, to settle things here."
Bubbly then started to fight with the Defective, and though she was a novice to this whole Pretty Cure thing, she wasn't that bad a fighter. Quite a few of her attacks had landed, though she was lacking in agility. Even if she was just getting used to these powers, Bubbly had to admit, she was actually she was doing this well. It felt invigorating in a sense. The Defective then grabbed Bubbly by the leg and held her up to eye view. Bubbly hadn't expected that and just nervously stared at the Defective.
"Such a short-lived career as a Pretty Cure." Domino remarked as he shook his head," Kids like you think it's all fun and games, but just wait until we get rid of you and the rest of your team."
"There must be something I can do!" Bubbly thought to herself frantically," Those girls fought with magic last time, maybe I can do that too? But exactly how am I to do that?"
Bubbly then tried to concentrate and then held her hands in front of herself shouting," Pretty Cure, Whirlpool of Justice!"
From her hands emerged a massive stream of water. The attack had hit the Defective directly in the face and so the Defective impulsively brought it's hands to it's face, letting go of Bubbly in the process.
Bubbly appeared to be quite proud of herself from breaking herself free, but the Defective didn't appear to be amused with her. The Defective glowered down at her and Bubbly hadn't anticipated the Defective to recover so quickly.
"Pretty Cure, Flame of Hope!"
"Pretty Cure, Gale of Wishes!"
The Defective had been hit with a pair of attacks from behind and finally, the Defective had been depleted of all it's energy. The Defective fell over and behind it was Dolly and Teddy.
"How did you guys break free?" Bubbly asked.
Teddy shrugged as she responded with," The grip on the string got weaker out of nowhere."
"I think it had something to do with the fact that the Defective was facing some trouble in fighting against you." Dolly explained," Anyways, now we gotta purify it!"
Bubbly nodded, though she was unsure of how to do that. Dolly and Teddy then ran up towards the Defective with the latter saying "We'll handle it!"
"Pretty Cure, Charming Enchant!" Dolly and Teddy shouted in unison, cleansing the Defective and reverting it to it's original form.
"That was amazing..." Bubbly said to herself once the girls had finished purifying the Defective. The Cures then ran up to Bubbly.
"Ok so, when we had been explaining the whole Pretty Cure thing...we realized we kinda left out something important." Dolly said as she and Teddy undid their transformation," Sophie, we don't only want you to complete our team, we want to be friends with you. Can we do that?"
Bubbly undid her transformation and was astonished that the girls gave her such an offer. She definitely hadn't been expecting it, but it was what she wanted all along.
"Absolutely!" Sophie beamed with a large smile on her face.
