Shining Sparkle, Dream Sparkle and Sunshine Sparkle were doing their usual work of fighting. Shining used one of her attacks.
Shining Sparkke: SHINE SHOWER!
Dream Sparkle: Awesome job, Shining. DREAM FLARE!
Sunshine Sparkle: Alright, its my turn! SUNSHINE BURST!
Soon, the fairy was almost beaten.
Dream Sparkle: Alright girls, what do you say to combining powers?
Shining Sparkle: That sounds great!
Sunshine Sparkle: I've got this!
She took out her wand.
Sunshine Sparkle: SUNSHINE WAND!
With her attack, the fairy was beaten.
Eric: This isn't the end! I'll be back!
Sunshine Sparkle: Yay, we did it!
Dream Sparkle: You mean only YOU did it?
Shining Sparkle: No offense, Sunshine but, you should really give us a chance too.
Sunshine Sparkle: Don't worry, you'll get your chance tomorrow.
Dream Sparkle: That's what you said last time.
Sunshine Sparkle: Umm...still, can you blame me? I've been a Magical Girl for longer than you two. I'm more experienced so I should deliver the final blow. You two are still learning.
Dream Sparkle: Just because you're more experienced doesn't mean you should outshine us.
From afar, a corrupted fairy named Jaden was watching.
Jaden: Haha. Eric will love this.
Meanwhile, in Queen Lydia's castle.
Lydia: Eric, how many times will you fail me?
Eric: Its not my fault, your majesty. Its just that my fairies are no good.
Jaden: That's no way to talk about your followers.
Eric: Jaden? How did you get here?
Jaden: Forgive me, your majesty, but could I borrow Eric for a moment? I have some news that he will love.
Lydia: Eric, see what this fairy wants to tell you.
Eric went with Jaden, who told him what he had seen.
Jaden: If we break those girls' friendship, they'll be less powerful as they're not together anymore. They just need a little push in the wrong direction.
Eric: Hahaha. You're brilliant, Jaden. Now, I'm giving you the chance. You put your plan into action tonight. I'll take care of the rest tomorrow.
Jaden: As you wish, Eric.
Later that night, Minami was in her bed with her favourite stuffed rabbit she called Miyuki. But she couldn't sleep.
Minami: I'm worried about Sakura-chan and Ayumi-chan. They haven't been on good terms lately and I fear if this goes on, it will create a rift among us. Miyuki-chan, what do you think I should do?
Jaden was outside her window. He had the ability to project himself into toys.
Jaden: Now time to put my plan into action.
He projected himself into the toy and began talking.
Miyuki: I think Sakura-chan is right.
Minami: Wha-? M-Miyuki-chan? Did you just...talk?
Miyuki: Oh didn't you know? I can talk, Minami-chan.
Minami: Oh, that is great. So tell me, Miyuki-chan, what should I do about Sakura-chan and Ayumi-chan?
Miyuki: I think you and Sakura should just leave Ayumi. If she thinks she's so much better than you, why do you need her, and why does she need you? Listen, when you're going to school tomorrow, talk to Sakura about this.
Minami: I'll...think about that. Goodnight, Miyuki-chan.
Miyuki: Goodnight, Minami-chan.
Next, Jaden went to Sakura's place. She wasn't asleep either.
Sakura: That Ayumi...just because she's more experienced doesn't mean she's all that.
Sakura's favourite toy, a dinosaur she called Rex started talking to her under Jaden's influence.
Rex: Yeah, who does she think she is?
Sakura: Huh? D-Did you just talk?
Rex: Indeed. And I think you're 100% in the right. Did you know that Ayumi character thinks she doesn't need you or Minami?
Sakura: WHAT?!
Rex: Its true. Her favourite toy is one of my friends and she told me about it.
Sakura: That overconfident brat! If she thinks she's sooo much better than us, then we should just leave her! She's not worth being our friend!
Rex: That's the right thing to do! Don't even bother saying good morning to her! Tell this to Minami too.
Sakura: Yes. Minami-chan needs to know this.
Jaden flew away to Ayumi's house once the work was done. To his luck, Ayumi wasn't asleep either.
Ayumi: I think I'm being overconfident. I should give Sakura-chan and Minami-chan a chance next.
Jaden projected himself into Ayumi's favourite doll, an idol singer doll she called Rika.
Rika: But you don't have to.
Ayumi: HUH? Oh my gosh. You can talk! You can really talk! This is amazing!
Rika: Isn't it? Anyway, you don't need to give Minami and Sakura a chance. They still have a lot to learn. You're more experienced, so you should deliver the final blow always. And more, I think you should be the leader since you're more experienced.
Ayumi: Really? Oh, thanks Rika. I'll tell them tomorrow.
Jaden flew away, smiling to himself.
Jaden: The work is done. Eric will be pleased.
The next day, as Minami and Sakura walked to school...
Minami: Um, Sakura-chan. You look upset. What's the matter?
Sakura: Listen, Minami-chan. We're leaving Ayumi.
Minami: What? But, why?
Sakura: She thinks she could do without us, lets see her actually staying to that.
Minami: When did she say that?
Sakura: I don't know. But last night my dinosaur Rex started talking to me. He said he knows Ayumi's toys and they told him what she thought.
Minami: Come to think of it, my stuffed rabbit Miyuki talked to me last night too. She said we should leave Ayumi-chan. But I don't think...
Sakura: Don't even call her Ayumi-chan. Lets just call her plain Fujita.
Minami: But...
Sakura: Minami, your favourite toy talked to you. Are you going to question?
Minami: Actually, yes.
Ayumi: Sakura-chan, Minami-chan. I have good news.
Minami: Oh, good morning Ayumi-chan. What do you have to tell us?
Ayumi: I'm officially the leader of the group.
Sakura: Wow, fancy you saying that when you think you could do without us.
Ayumi: WHAT?! When did I say that?
Sakura: Don't play innocent, Fujita. I know what you're thinking. And the truth is, we could do without you too.
Ayumi: What?! Well...Well...I think...
Minami: GIRLS! If you continue fighting, you're gonna be late for school.
Sakura and Ayumi: Oh. Right.
But even as they were walking, Sakura and Ayumi were arguing.
Minami: (to herself) It doesn't make any sense. Even if Miyuki could talk, she wouldn't say anything like that. And when I said good morning to her today, she didn't talk. Could it be...that Eric is trying to split us up?
By the time they reached school, Sakura and Ayumi had their backs turned against each other. All throughout school, Minami couldn't stop thinking of her toy.
Minami: (to herself) Yes...Eric must be trying to split us up.
Suddenly, something made Minami look towards the window. There she saw Jaden peeping through and smiling at Sakura and Ayumi. But he immediately backed down when Minami saw him.
Minami: Um...Excuse me, sensei, but I really need to go to the bathroom.
Kaede granted her permission and Minami ran out to see Jaden running away.
Minami: Stop! You were trying to split us up, weren't you? You projected yourself into our toys.
Jaden: Um...well...
Minami: You won't get away with this!
Eric: But what will you do now, little girl? Your little fairy is in your bag back in the classroom. If she comes out, everyone will see her. You're pretty much trapped.
Minami: Umm...umm...
Eric: Now, you have no one to help you. So be a good little girl and come quietly with me.
Minami: Umm...Hey, is that Queen Lydia?
Jaden: What? Where?
Both Jaden and Eric turned back. It gave Minami just the extra time needed to run.
Minami: (to herself) If I can keep this up until break time, I can be safe. So what if I get a scolding from Kaede-sensei, its better than being captured and letting Lydia succeed.
Eric: You little brat! Come back here.
Jaden: Leave it to me. Haaaaaaa
Jaden concentrated and soon, a large number of toys surrounded her.
Eric: Give up already. You're surrounded and there's no way your friends can help you.
Minami: (to herself) If only there was a way I could call to Sakura-chana and Ayumi-chan for help.
Meanwhile back in the classroom...
Maria came out of her hiding place, so did Sarah and Anna. They were spotted by Sakura and Ayumi and caught in the nick of time.
Ayumi: Excuse me, sensei, but I need to go to the bathroom.
Sakura: M-Me too.
Kaede: Why does everyone need to go to the bathroom today? Alright, you can go.
The girls took their fairies out into the corridors.
Sakura: What were you thinking showing yourself to the whole class?
Maria: I feel something's not right. Minami-chan hasn't returned from the bathroom for a long time. She must be in trouble.
Sakura: Hmmm...now that I think about it, its not like her to just leave and not come back for a long time. Maybe you're right.
Anna: I can sense she's outside the school.
Ayumi: Why would she be there?
Anna: Uh oh, I'm getting some bad vibrations. I can sense Eric is there too.
Sakura: Oh, give us a break!
Sarah: She's our friend. Whatever it is, we must go and save her!
Ayumi: Alright, c'mon Sakura. We'll save Minami. But I'm taking the lead.
Sakura: Now don't you start. No one is the leader here.
Anna: GIRLS!
The two went out of the school to see Minami trapped.
Sakura: Lets transform!
Sakura: DREAM SPARKLE, CHARGE UP!
Ayumi: SUNSHINE SPARKLE, CHARGE UP!
Dream Sparkle: I am the Magical Girl of Determination! Dream Sparkle!
Sunshine Sparkle: I am the Magical Girl of Happiness! Sunshine Sparkle!
Minami: Girls! I'm so glad you came!
Maria: Here you go! (she gives Minami her wand) Now you transform too.
Minami: SHINING SPARKLE, CHARGE UP!
Shining Sparkle: I am the Magical Girl of Kindness! Shining Sparkle!
Eric: How...how did you get here?
Anna: We're not dumb, Eric. We can sense bad things when they happen.
Dream Sparkle: Wait, are those TOYS?!
Jaden: Don't underestimate them! They can really overpower you. Toys, ATTACK!
Shining Sparkle: Shine Storm!
A huge amount of sparkles went over the toys
Dream Sparkle: Dream...
Sunshine Sparkle: Sunshine Charge!
Dream Sparkle: Sunshine Sparkle? More like Outshine Sparkle!
Sunshine: Hey, my attacks prove more effective here!
Dream Sparkle: How so?
Sunshine Sparkle: Well, for starters..
Dream Sparkle: "I'm more experienced", right? Quit using that excuse, will you?
Sunshine Sparkle: But it is true. I don't see why you have to argue with me anyway. There are plenty of toys for you to take out.
Dream Sparkle: Yeah, only for you to outshine me again.
Shining Sparkle: Oh no, they're arguing again. Never mind, I can do this myself.
While Dream and Sunshine continued to argue, Shining kept fighting until she was so exhausted that she detransformed.
Eric: One down, two to go. And they're so busy arguing they didn't notice their friend.
Dream Sparkle and Sunshine Sparkle: Minami-chan?
Eric: Thank you so much for making it easy. Jaden was so convincing as your toys that he actually made you believe everything.
Dream Sparkle: WHAT?! This was all just a SETUP?!
Sunshine Sparkle: So Rika-chan didn't actually talk to me? Darn it!
Eric: Yes. Amazing how you little girls believe these things so easily. Now its so easy to capture you.
Dream Sparkle: So you never actually thought you didn't need us?
Sunshine Sparkle: Why would I think that? I may be experienced but I'm nothing without you two. I don't think I could defeat this army of toys on my own with all the experience in the world. In fact, I was regretting being overconfident until that fairy tricked me.
Dream Sparkle: Wow. I wonder why I ever thought I should leave you. The truth is, I'm nothing without you either. Both you AND Minami-chan. I'm sorry, Sunshine.
Sunshine Sparkle: I should be the one apologising. I truly WAS overconfident.
Eric: Enough talk! Now get those two as well!
Dream Sparkle: What do you say we do this together?
Sunshine Sparkle: You up for combining attacks?
Dream Sparkle: Hell yeah! But instead of aiming at the toys and making all those children cry, why don't we aim at the source?
Sunshine Sparkle: Good idea. Sunshine...
Dream Sparkle: Dream...
Sunshine Sparkle: BURST!
Dream Sparkle: ARROW!
Their combined attack managed to defeat Jaden and wipe out his influence on the toys.
Eric: No! NOOO! I thought I had you this time! I'LL GET YOU! I PROMISE!
Dream Sparkle and Sunshine Sparkle: Yay, we did it!
They gave each other a hi-five. By then, Minami had recovered and the girls detransformed.
Minami: Hi girls. Glad to see you're getting along again.
Sakura: Yeah. I can't believe we fell for Eric's trick.
Minami: Well I knew it was a trick all along. After all, toys can't talk.
Ayumi: Wow. You sure are smart Minami-chan.
But just then, the bell for break time rang.
Sakura: Uh oh, do you hear that?
Minami: Its the bell for break time.
Ayumi: WE'RE DOOMED!
The girls went to their class together.
Kaede: YOU THREE! I was waiting for you. Your little 'bathroom trip' was way too long. Honestly, I'm disappointed in you girls. Especially you, Minami. I never expected this of you. As your punishment, you'll be staying here for break time. And Sakura, I'll talk to you at home.
The girls stayed in class that whole time.
Sakura: I'm doomed. DOOMED!
Minami: But you know, if I had to choose getting scolded by Kaede-sensei and letting Queen Lydia succeed, I'd definitely choose the former.
Sakura: Yeah, I guess that DOES make me feel better.
Ayumi: Hey, Sakura-chan, I'm sorry I was overconfident, again.
Sakura: Its fine, Ayumi-chan. At least you learnt.
Minami: I'm glad you two made up. We're a team now, and nothing can break our friendship. (putting her hand forward) Isn't that right?
Sakura: (putting her hand on Minami's) That's right!
Ayumi: (putting her hand on Sakura's and Minami's) Absolutely correct!
