The Fujita house gad a visitor- Ayumi's aunt Kaori. "Kaori, what a surprise! You didn't tell us you were visiting!" said Ayumi's father Shotaro. "I wanted it to be a surprise, especially for Ayumi" said Kaori. "Kaori, welcome. This is a pleasant surprise" said Haruki.
Kaori was Shotaro's older sister. She had dark brown hair which she always tied in a bun and green eyes. "How is Ayumi doing?" she asked. "She's doing fine. The first time she went to school, she made friends with two girls whom she always hangs out with now" said Shotaro. "Wow. I thought she would be nervous moving out of her old school. I guess I was wrong" said Kaori.
"Aunt Kaori!" exclaimed Ayumi, who had come out of her room. She ran downstairs to give her aunt a hug. "Aunt Kaori, its so good to see you!" said Ayumi. "Oh Ayumi, its been so long!" said Kaori. "Aunt Kaori, I made two new friends the first day I moved here. Their named are Kirasaki Minami amd Mitsuki Sakura. We play all the time" said Ayumi. "That's great! You're more confident than I thought" said Kaori. "Whatever caused that change in you? You were so shy and quiet before" she continued. Ayumi just smiled. She looked up an Anna and winked. "Its because I became a Magical Girl that I changed. Anna always taught me to believe in myself. Thanks to her, I stayed happy and looked towards making others happy too" she said in her mind.
The family sat down for lunch. Ayumi finished her lunch first. "I'm done!" she said. She went to the kitchen to keep her plate. Then she heard her parents and aunt talking.
"Ayumi has changed a lot, hasn't she?" asked Kaori. "Oh yes indeed. I remember when she was so shy, she wouldn't talk to the teacher if her nose started bleeding" said Shotaro. "I wonder what changed her so much. Maybe it was all those talks we've been giving her" said Haruki. "Either way, she's changed for the better and I'm happy" said Kaori. "I remember when she was a tiny, 9-month-old baby. She was sooo cute!" said Shotaro. "Indeed. We have Kaori to thank for bringing her into our lives" said Haruki. "At first I wasn't sure. The Shotaro I remembered was mischievous, loved to make bad jokes and irritate me" said Kaori. "I wondered if he was ready for the responsibility of raising a child." "Hey Kaori, I managed to marry Haruki here. Nothing is impossible for me now" said Shotaro. And everyone started laughing. "Anyway, thank you again, Kaori. Ayumi may not be our own child, but we love her all the same" said Haruki.
Ayumi was listening to everything. "Mama, what do you mean I'm not really your child?" asked Ayumi. The adults looked at each other. "Ayumi, you were listening to everything?" asked Haruki. "Yeah. What did you mean by that?" asked Ayumi. The adults whispered among themselves. "Ayumi, what we mean is...you're an adopted child" said Kaori. "What?" asked Ayumi.
Back in her room, Ayumi told Anna about what she had found out. "Oh, so they're not really your parents?" asked Anna. "Yeah" said Ayumi. "I don't see how that's a big thing. Back in the Fairy Kingdom, we're all adopted. All fairies are born from a flower in a flower field. They stay there until a willing fairy takes them home and becomes their guardian. As for royalty, people like Queen Regina are born from a special flower in the royal garden" said Anna. She suddenly remembered her guardian and shed a tear. "Anna. Are you alright?" asked Ayumi. "Yeah, I'm fine, I...I...Ayumi-chan, I need time alone" she said.
Erin was hovering above. "Hmm...something interesting is bound to happen in that household" she said.
Ayumi went down and met Kaori. "Oh, Ayumi, how are you?" asked Kaori. "I'm fine. Aunt Kaori, can you tell me...who my family originally was?" "Why?" asked Kaori "I just want to know. Who was I, originally?" asked Ayumi. "Oh Ayumi. I was going to save this story until you were at least 16, but since you found out now, I have to tell you. Sit down, Ayumi"
"You were originally the daughter of my childhood friend, Kurosawa Rika and her husband, Kurosawa Daichi. When you were born, I got to see you in the hospital. You were a little bundle of joy. You lived with Rika and Daichi until you were nine months. At that time, an accident occurred that set their house on fire. You survived but Rika and Daichi couldn't make it. Rika told me to take care of you. I decided to give you to my brother, Shotaro, since he wanted a child. And you have lived here ever since."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" asked Ayumi. "Oh Ayumi, I wanted to save this story for when you were older. But now you've found out, I had no choice." "Thanks Aunt Kaori. I have to go to the park now. Minami-chan and Sakura-chan invited me to play after lunch" said Ayumi. "That's great. I hope you have a wonderful time" said Kaori.
Ayumi ran to the park. Minami and Sakura were already waiting there. "Hey, Ayumi-chan, you're late" said Sakura. "Yeah, sorry about that. I got caught up in something important" said Ayumi. "So what should we play?" asked Minami. "How about those swings?" asked Ayumi.
The girls had fun on the swings. But Ayumi wasn't having as much fun as the rest. "Ayumi-chan, you don't seem like yourself today" said Minami. "What? I'm fine" said Ayumi. "No, you usually enjoy playing on the swings, but today you seem so distant. What's wrong?" asked Sakura. Ayumi told them what Kaori told her. "I'm not really Fujita Ayumi. I'm actually Kurosawa Ayumi" said Ayumi. "Wow, it sounds like something straight out of a cartoon!" said Sakura. "I know. But why didn't they tell me earlier?" asked Ayumi. "Maybe its because you'll understand better when you get older" said Minami. "Yeah. But now I know my family isn't really my own family" said Ayumi. "Ayumi-chan, it doesn't matter if they're really your parents or not. Imagine if they never cared enough to take you in!" exclaimed Sakura.
At the time, the fairies dashed into the park. "Sakura, Minami, Ayumi! There's trouble at Ayumi-chan's house!" they exclaimed. The girls rushed to the house. Shotaro, Haruki and Kaori were lying on the ground with their energy taken away from them. "Hi girls, long time no see!" said Erin.
"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!"
"Nice. Now, come out Bella! Show these girls the power of the wind!"
Erin summoned Bella, a fairy who had the power to control wind. "Whoooooaaaa!" The girls were blown into the house. "I'm not done yet!" said Bella. She blew the wind even harder. The girls held on tightly. Everything in the house was blown away. "Mama, please, they're my friends!" said Anna. "Mama?" asked Sunshine, surprised. "Bella is Anna's guardian. They were very close. But now, she's like this" said Sarah. "Who are you? Get out of the way!" exclaimed Bella. She flicked Anna away. "Anna!" exclaimed Sarah and Maria. "Hah! Now that that's out of the way, why don't you hand over your fairies, girls?" said Bella. "No! Never!" said Sunshine. "Well then, I guess your precious family will have to join Lydia's army" said Erin. "Noooo! Don't do that!" screamed Sunshine. "Why do you care? They're not really your family, are they?" said Erin. "No! They may not be my real family, but they loved me and cared for me! If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have my wonderful friends! I would have ended up in an orphanage! That's why...THEY'RE PRECIOUS TO ME, NO MATTER WHAT!" screamed Sunshine.
Bella started blowing the wind again, but Sunshine withstood it. She threw Bella out of the house with one hit. She was about to use Sunshine Wand on it, when Anna stopped her. "Wait, please don't hurt her!" said Anna. "But she hurt my family!" said Sunshine. "She is my family. Please go easy on her!" said Anna. "How about we use a good old combined attack" said Dream. "Great idea!" said Sunshine. The three took positions.
"Shining..."
"Dream..."
"Sunshine..."
"SHOWER!"
"BLAST!"
"CHARGE!"
The shower of sparkles, the burst of blue sparkles and the yellow bean of light combined into one attack, which effectively defeated Bella. "Mama" whispered Anna, sadly. "Erin, you'd better leave my family alone, or else!" said Sunshine. "Well, next time I'll come back smarter!" said Erin as she vanished.
The girls detransformed. Shotaro, Haruki and Kaori slowly recovered. "What...happened?" said Kaori. "Mama, papa, aunt Kaori, are you alright?" asked Ayumi. "Yes, we're fine, Ayumi. Don't worry" said Haruki. "Ayumi, I wanted to tell you something I couldn't before. Being adopted is a sign that someone cared enough for you to raise you as their own. Shotaro and Haruki could have just said no, and I would leave you in an orphanage to perhaps never find a parent. But you're one of the lucky ones, Ayumi" said Kaori. "I understand. Mama, papa, thank you for taking care of me as your own child" said Ayumi. "You're welcome, Ayumi. We'll always love you as our own" said Haruki.
