Bohemian Pretty Cure

Episode 3: The Guitarist From Another Country

It was the day after Rika had first become Cure Taylor, and she and Fuyuko were sitting in class. Ms. Kurokawa had just begun her lesson when the door opened, and in stepped Mr. Oshiro, the math teacher.

"Oh, is there something I can help you with, Mr. Oshiro?"

"Ah, Ms. Kurokawa. I came to let you know that you have a new student." He turned to the door. "Come on in."

In walked a girl with long, dirty blonde hair, wearing Lennon glasses and carrying a case under one arm. Leaning it against Ms. Kurokawa's desk, she smiled and waved at the class.

"Hello there," she said, speaking with a distinct British accent. "I'm Maggie Clement. Pleasure to meet you all." Looking around, she spotted an empty desk in front of Fuyuko. "Mind if I sit over there, Miss...?"

"Kurokawa. And yes, you may."

Grabbing the case, Maggie walked over and took a seat. Fuyuko barely noticed her sit down.

That girl...could she be...the third Pretty Cure?

"You seemed pretty interested in that girl, Fuyuko-chan," Rika commented, sitting down across from Fuyuko in the cafeteria.

"That's because she's the girl from my dream," Fuyuko answered excitedly. "She's gotta be the third Pretty Cure! I'm certain of it!"

"Let's not jump to conclusions." Figaro stuck his head out of Fuyuko's bag. "She may have appeared in your dream for a different reason."

"What other reason could there be?" Fuyuko glanced up. "Hey, there she is! Maggie! Over here!" She waved enthusiastically at the other girl. However, Maggie didn't seem to hear Fuyuko or see her waving. She made her way through the lunchroom, and over to the outside exit.

"Where's she going?"

"I don't know. Let's follow her and see."

(Bohemian Pretty Cure)

Taking a seat under a tree, Maggie pulled the case she'd been carrying onto her lap. Opening the case, she pulled out a guitar, painted in varying shades of red. She plucked the strings a few times, testing it, before setting it on her lap and beginning to play a song.

(Now I'm Here: Maggie)

Maggie: Here I stand

Look around, around, around

But you won't see me

Now I'm here, now I'm there

I'm just a...

Just a new man

Yes, you made me live again

A baby I was when you took my hand

And the light of the night burned bright

And the people all stared

Didn't understand

But you knew my name on sight

Whatever came of you and me

America's new bride-to-be

Don't worry baby

I'm safe and sound

Down in the dungeon,

Just Peaches and me

Don't I love her so

A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky

Where the beams of your lovelight chase

Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain

With a rain running down my face

Your matches still light up the sky

And many a tear lives on in my eye

Down in the city,

Just Hoople and me

Don't I love him so

Whatever comes of you and me

I love to leave my memory with you

Now I'm here

Think I'll stay around, around, around

We'll be down in the city

Just you and me

Don't I love you so

"Wow, that was really good!"

Maggie looked up to see Fuyuko and Rika standing above her. "Oh, thank you."

"What are you doing over here?" asked Rika.

"Well, I wanted to practice my guitar playing, but I didn't want to disturb anyone," Maggie explained. "You're welcome to join me here. It is rather nice out."

"Sounds good to me!"

(Bohemian Pretty Cure)

"Eliminate the Pretty Cure before they can become a threat, she says," Sheffi muttered to himself. "I'm half-tempted to suggest she send someone else and let me catch a break. But you don't argue with Queen Sida. Besides, if I succeed, she will reward me well."

Just then, a small music note floated past, coming to rest in the tree above the three girls.

"Aha! Another note from the Victory Anthem!" Sheffi rubbed his hands together. "Her Majesty is sure to forgive me if I acquire it, especially if I can get rid of those pesky Pretty Cure at the same time."

Putting his hands together before drawing them apart, he allowed a black diamond to materialize between his them.

"Gagalian, come forth!"

As the diamond shot forth, the whistling it made caught Fuyuko and Rika's attention.

"Maggie, watch out!"

Moving quickly, Rika grabbed Maggie and pulled her out of the way, causing the other girl to drop her guitar. Before it could hit the ground, the black diamond came into contact with it, transforming it into a Gagalian.

"Gagalian!" The monster reached towards its strings and plucked them, releasing a wave of sonic energy towards the trio. The three girls were barely able to dodge it.

"That was bloody close," Maggie muttered.

"Thank us later." Fuyuko looked over at Rika, who nodded.

"Pretty Cure, Rock Out!"

In a flash, Fuyuko and Rika transformed into Cure Mercuria and Cure Taylor. The two dove into battle, delivering a flurry of punches and kicks to the monster.

Maggie's attention, meanwhile, was on Sheffi, who was making his way towards the Victory Anthem note.

"Blasted Pretty Cure," muttered the Unity Court member. "Hopefully I can grab that note while they're busy."

"You!" Maggie stood and glared at Sheffi. "What did you do to my guitar?"

Sheffi, startled, turned to look at her, laughing. "Why does it matter? As far as I'm concerned, the only thing it's good for is crushing those meddlesome Pretty Cure. Once Her Highness is in charge of this planet, it'll be disposed of like the garbage it is."

"I made that guitar myself," Maggie said angrily. "I put my heart into it. And I am insulted that anyone would disrespect it—and me—in such a manner."

"Oh, be quiet," Sheffi growled, lifting a hand. A beam of black energy shot forth towards Maggie, only to be blocked by a bubble of pale yellow light. Figaro was hovering in front of her, paws outstretched.

At the same time, a purple orb materialized above her, becoming a Crown Module and dropping into her hands.

"This is...just like those devices Fuyuko and Rika had."

"I've got you covered," Figaro said. "Do what they did!"

Maggie gave a start hearing Figaro speak, but regained her bearings quickly. "All right, I'll give it a shot."

(Bohemian Pretty Cure)

"Pretty Cure, Rock Out!"

Suspended in a starry void, her body silhouetted in white light, Maggie held out the Crown Module before her. Instantly, ribbons of purple energy sprang forth, wrapping themselves around different parts of her body before bursting away to reveal new clothing.

First came a white tank top with purple lace trim that came down to just above her navel, as well as a purple and white tiered mini-skirt. Next, purple elbow-length gloves with white trim formed, followed by white pixie boots with purple accents and a single yellow bow on each. Her hair grew longer and became curly, turning chocolate brown with yellow tips, and gaining a gold crown-shaped hairpin on the right. More ribbons enveloped her torso, before breaking away to reveal a purple jacket. Finally, a yellow satchel with a gold crown symbol formed, dangling from her waist by a yellow cord.

Transformation complete, she posed with her hands holding an imaginary guitar, making a strumming motion.

"Strumming the guitar of diversity, Cure May!"

(Bohemian Pretty Cure)

"A third Pretty Cure?! Inconceivable!" Sheffi shouted.

"Ha! I was right!" cheered Cure Mercuria.

"Oh..." Cure May looked at herself, surprised.

"Come on," shouted Cure Taylor. "Pretty Cure Taylor Solo!"

Watching the fire jets strike the Gagalian, Cure May nodded in understanding.

"Take this! Pretty Cure May Special!"

Moving her hands as if strumming a guitar, she sent a stream of water at the Gagalian. It wound around the monster, binding its limbs to its sides.

"Nice, Cure May!" said Cure Mercuria. "Now to finish this! Pretty Cure Mercuria Voice!"

"Gagaliaaaaaaaan!"

When the attack hit, the Gagalian exploded in a cloud of smoke, leaving the guitar behind.

"I lost again?" Sheffi was livid. "Inconceivable! Just you wait, Pretty Cure! I will eliminate you in the name of Queen Sida!"

(Bohemian Pretty Cure)

"Why didn't you tell us you could make those field things?" Rika asked.

"Well, they're only for defensive purposes," Figaro explained. "Aside from that, there's not much I can do to help."

"Well, maybe you can tell us about this Victory Anthem," Maggie suggested.

"Ah, the Victory Anthem." Figaro closed his eyes and nodded. "It's a legendary score, similar to the Melody of Happiness, but its powers are more varied. The notes have been in hiding for many years, having come here centuries ago."

"I'm guessing the Unity Court wants them as part of their plan to conquer Earth," mused Fuyuko.

"Well, it will help them immensely if they do acquire it." Figaro held up a colorful object resembling a spherical music box with a flat top and bottom. "They'll be safe in the Note Jar."

"And in the meantime, we'll find the other notes, and keep them out of the Court's hands," said Fuyuko determinedly.

The other two girls nodded, though Maggie seemed to be partially lost in thought.

(Bohemian Pretty Cure)

"You think you know what our team is about?"

"Hey, leave him alone!"

"It's not fair. They always pick on me because I like 'girly stuff.'"

"We'll help you find the courage you're looking for!"
