Queen Lydia was very angry. She had been calling Erin for days with no response. "Oh, where is that Erin? I've been calling her so many times but I get no reply" she said. "I think Erin has failed again. I just knew this would happen" said Eric.
Erin was at her place, sitting and pondering on how to defeat the girls. "I won't give up until I have those girls on their knees" sad Erin. "What's the matter, Erin? Those little girls giving you trouble?" asked a fairy named Ray. "More than trouble. I can't face Queen Lydia unless I defeat them" said Erin. "Well, I think the best way is to target people they love" said Ray. "Hmm...good idea" said Erin.
Sakura's brother Sora's birthday was coming up soon. The Mitsuki family was shopping for invitation cards and decorations for a party. Once they were done, they went home and Sora wrote his friends' name on the cards. "Are you excited for your party, Sora?" asked Sakura. "Of course" said Sora. "So, what would you like for your birthday?" asked Sakura. "Oh oneechan, you know what I like" said Sora. "Oh of course I know" said Sakura.
The next day, Sakura went to the toy shop. Outside the shop, she ran into Minami and Ayumi. "Minami-chan, Ayumi-chan, what brings you two here?" asked Sakura. "Well, we were invited to Sora's birthday party too, just to keep you company" said Ayumi. "We're here to buy him a gift" said Minami. They went into the toy shop. "So Sakuta-chan, what does your brother like?" asked Minami. "Oh, I know, maybe he wants a toy car. Little boys love toy cars" said Ayumi. "Umm, actually..." began Sakura. "Oh, or this robot. Boys go crazy for this thing" said Minami. "Well actually..." "Oh, oh, how about these action figures. I see a lot of little boys playing with them" said Ayumi. "Guys, Sora doesn't like any of that stuff" said Sakura. "Oh, then what does he like?" asked Minami. "C'mon, I'll show you."
Sakura took them over to the section where dolls were sold. He picked up a doll. "Sora likes this kind of stuff" said Sakura. "Ohhhh" said Ayumi. Sakura picked up a doll, Ayumi picked out a dollhouse set and Minami picked out a toy unicorn. "I'm so jealous. These are all the things I've wanted when I was Sora's age" said Minami. "Well, they're for Sora now" said Sakura. The girls bought the toys, along with some gift wrappers. They went home and wrapped their gifts.
Soon, Sora's birthday party came. The family put up the decoration and dressed up. Sakura was weaking a navy blue dress and wore a navy blue boy on her hair. "Do I have to wear a dress?" asked Sakura. "Its just for your brother's birthday, Sakura. You can adjust for one day" said Kaede. When she went out, Sakura gave a wink at Sarah, who was in the room. "Its okay. Thanks to my experiences of being a Magical Girl I'm used to wearing dresses" she whispered. "You still look cute" Sarah whispered back.
Soon, Sora's friends came trickling in. They all gave gifts to him, which were kept on the table. Lastly, Minami and Ayumi came. Minami was wearing a beautiful pink dress and her hair was down. She was also wearing a pink hairband. Ayumi wore a yellow dress and a yellow bow. "Hi girls. Welcome" said Sakura. "Oh Sakura-chan, you look so cute" said Minami. "Eh heh, thanks" said Sakura.
When everyone arrived, Sora sat down at the table where his gifts were. His friends sat around him. Sora opened the gifts one by one. His friends had got him toy cars, action figures, remore-controlled robots and other boy toys. Sora pretended to be happy and thanked them all. Last, Sakura presented her gift. 'Haooy birthday, little brother. I want you to open our gifts last. I'm sure you'll love them" said Sakura. Sora opened Sakura's gift first, then Ayumi's gift, then Minami's gift. "Thank you, thank you so much! These are exactly what I wanted!" exclaimed Sora. "We're glad you like them" said Minami. "Wow, Sora-kun, I didn't know you liked dolls. I can have a playing partner. Come to my house sometime. I have lots of dolls" said a little girl named Kana. "Of course, Kana-chan" said Sora.
But Sora's other friends were quick to tease him. "Wow Sora, you like dollies and unicorns?" asked a boy. "Yes. What's the problem?" asked Sora. "But those are for girls!" said another boy. "Unless, you're actually a girl" said another boy. And the teasing continued.
"Ha ha, Sora likes girls toys!"
"He should have been a girl!"
"Hey Sora, next time I'll get you a dress!"
"And some make up!"
"How will you ever be like your sister if you're like this?"
"She must be ashamed of you!"
They all teased Sora mercilessly until he couldn't take in. "Stop it, stop it! So what if I like dolls and unicorns? Its NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" screamed Sora, with tears in his eyes. He stormed out. "Sora-kun!" said Kana, following him. "Sora!" said Sakura also following him.
Sora was outside the house. "Sora-kun!" said Kana. "Kana-chan, I think you're my only true friend" said Sora. "Sora!" said Sakura. "Oneechan, are you...ashamed of me?" asked Sora. "No, Sora, don't listen to what they say! It doesn't matter if you like girls' toys, I still love you just the same!" said Sakura. "Thanks, oneechan. But this is what I feared. If I tell them, they'll all make fun of me, and now, its come true. Except for Kana-chan, I don't think they want to be my friends now. This has been the worst birthday ever!" said Sora.
Erin was on the roof. "Ah, his fear of losing friends is so strong. It would make good energy. Now's my time to strike!" she said. She jumped down. "I see you're having a birthday party. Mind if I join?" asked Erin. "Who...who are you?" asked Sora. "Erin!" said Sakura. "Oneechan, do you know her?" "Look at that. You've got a lot of energy in there. I need it now!" Erin took out Sora's energy. "Sora-kun! What did you do to him?" asked Kana. "What, do you want to join him? I can see some energy in you too. I'll have that." Erin took Kana's energy too. "Oh no!"
Inside, the fairies sensed trouble. They secretly informed Minami and Ayumi, who went out. "Sakura-chan, we're here" said Minami.
"Shining Sparkle..."
" Dream Sparkle..."
"Sunshine Sparkle..."
"CHARGE UP!"
"I am the Magical Girl of Kindness! Shining Sparkle!"
"I am the Magical Girl of Determination! Dream Sparkle!"
"I am the Magical Girl of Happiness! Sunshine Sparkle!"
"You've finally arrived, Magical Girls! Ray, show them the life of the party" said Erin. Ray, a fairy who was good at organising parties before his corruption, arrived. "Its party time!" He pulled out some streamers and tied the girls with them. "Aah! I can't move!" said Shining. "None of us can" said Sunshine. "Ha ha ha. You know, girls? My primary objective was to defeat you. But now that you are helpless, I can make an offer. I can give Sora's energy back if you give up the fairies. If not, then he'll die of energy loss shortly." "No, we'll never do that!" said Sunshine. "If you say so. Then you can watch Sora die slowly" said Erin. "No! Please! Stop!" said Shining.
Dream Sparkle was at her limit. "You take advantage of a little kid's insecurities, use him as a way to get what you want, ruined his birthday...I've HAD IT!" Dream Sparkle screamed loudly. A blue aura surrounded her and freed the girls. "Oh dear" said Ray, giving a scared expression.
"DREAM LIGHT!"
The bright light blinded Erin and Ray. "Ugh...its so bright!" said Ray.
"DREAM ARROW!"
The arrow shot through Ray's chest. "Owowow, that hurt!" he screamed. "Shining! Sunshine! Its your turn! Combine attacks! I want him to really feel punishment!"
"Shine..."
"Sunshine..."
"BEAM!"
"BURST!"
Their attacks combined and hit Ray. "Good job! Now I'll give the finishing touch!" said Dream. She took out her wand.
"DREAM WAND!"
Ray was defeated and screamed as he was sent back.
"Well, darn it! I'll be back, girls!" said Erin. But Dream Sparkle stopped her. "Hey, Erin. I've got something to give you before you go!" said Dream. And she punched Erin so hard that her front tooth came out.
After everything was over, Sora and Kana woke up. "What happened?" they said. "I think you two can go inside" said Sakura.
They went inside. "Sora! Kana! Where have you been?" asked a boy. "I heard loud screaming" said another boy. "Oh, it was nothing" said Sakura.
"But aside that, the way you all treated Sora was really bad. So what if he likes girls toys? You all think I'm cool because I like boy toys and I act like a boy. So why look down on Sora? Why is it that when a girl like boys' things, she's considered cool and is praised, but when a boy likes girls' things, he is looked down on and teased?"
The kids looked at each other.
"Its not a writted rule that dolls are only for girls and cars are only for boys. Toys are for everyone!" said Sakura.
"You know, Sakura-san has a point" said one boy. "Well then, I want you all to apologise to Sora" said Sakura. The kids apologised and Sora forgave them. Just then Kaede came out. "Sakura! I heard you screaming outside a few minutes back! What happened?" she asked. "Oh, I just...uhh...stubbed my toe, that's all. But its better now" said Sakura. "Oh, thank goodness. Now, who wants to play party games?" asked Kaede.
The rest of the party went smoothly. At the end, Sora said goodbye to everyone and thanked them for their gifts. "This has been the best birthday ever!" said Sora.
