Ojamajo Doremi-Poppu Heart-Star

Chapter 2 – The Exchange Position

"So, Anita-chan, where's your class?"

"Class 2. You, Poppu-chan?"

"Same with you." Pop said, "Let's go to the class. I want to introduce my friends, our classmates. Some of them were my classmates from 4-1."

Pop and Anita walked together to their class. Pop introduced Anita to her friends in 5-2, and they were Kimitaka, Misaki, Fumio, and Erika.

"You know, Erika-chan, Anita-chan is Hazuki-senpai's cousin." Pop said.

"You mean... Fujiwara Hazuki-san? Your older sister's best friend?" said Erika, "That's great! Your older sister and my cousin have ever been her cousin's classmates, then... we're classmates too."

"Well, actually... they were classmates in 3-2 and 4-2. In the fifth grade, my older sister and your cousin were in class 1, and Hazuki-senpai was in class 2."

"Uh, okay. Anita-chan, watashi wa Tamaki Erika. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

"Hmm, Tamaki..." Anita thought for a minute, then she added, "Is your cousin Tamaki Reika-san?"

"Yes, that's her name. Your cousin must be have already told you about her, right?"

"Uh-huh. She told me about your cousin yesterday. She told me that your cousin often quarrel with Doremi-san, Poppu-chan's older sister."

"Well, that's right. Even, I and Poppu-chan sometimes quarrel too."

"Yeah, Harukaze versus Tamaki." Pop laughed, "If I remember it, I think... it's so ridiculous..."

Then, they laughed together.

At school, they still didn't learn too much, so they went home earlier. Pop and Anita decided to go to their base camp, Maho-dou.

"Anita-chan, I think... we must give a name for this base camp. It's impossible if we still call it as Maho-dou. We don't sell anything here." Pop said, "Hmm, I think... Maho-dou still nice to hear, but... hey! I know what should we do. We just need to didn't use –dou anymore behind Maho, and change it with 'base camp'. Then, the name is Maho base camp."

"Uh, Poppu-chan, do you think that we need to have a base camp?"

"Of course, Anita-chan. Onee-chan tachi made this place as their base camp too, beside as a shop. If they could do that, we can do it too. We'll ask the three others to assemble here everyday, if we've already find them. Then, we'll think the way to find Majohealth."

"Well, if you think that it's so important, that's up to you, Poppu-chan. But I think... for now, the most important thing is to find the three others."

"Oh yeah, you're right, Anita-chan. We don't have much time." Pop said, "If we can't meet them and meet Majohealth until the new year, the present Queen will pass away."

"Hmm, Poppu-chan, let me see the paper."

"It's in my backpack. Take it out from there."

"Okay." Anita took out the paper that given by Hana-chan from Pop's backpack, "Well, Hana-chan's right. Their name on this paper just write in initial."

"Can we just do the magical stage to find them?" asked Pop, "There are so many girls in the fifth grade like us in Misora City. Moreover, we can't just search them from their name initial. There are so many people who have that initial."

"Hmm, SR... Shika Renata? Shena Reika? Shimada Rita? Seno Rika?"

"Seno Rika?" asked Pop, "That's a ridiculous way to find them. We just imagine the name?"

"I think, there isn't anything wrong. Moreover, we must try and open every possibilities." Anita said, "Well, how about IM? Ichigo Miyako? Izumi Mimi?"

"Izumi Mimi?" Pop laughed, "That's more ridiculous! I mean... is it just like... Izu Mimimi?"

They laughed for a few minutes.

"Okay, okay. Stop to laugh. Now, we see AD."

"Are you sure?" asked Pop, still a bit laughed, "Don't you said that you thought that her name was Asuka Doremi. That's just like my older sister's name if it combine with the one of her best friend's family name (AN: Asuka Momoko)."

"Of course not, but... maybe that's true. It's possible, although... it's just a little."

"Huh, whatever." Pop sighed, "I think... it's better if we stop to imagine it, or we'll think wrong."

"Okay, maybe you're right, Poppu-chan. Maybe... we can try to use magical stage to find them." Anita agreed.

Before they had to push the button on their own necklace to transform, Doremi ran into the Maho base camp (AN: since this part, I write Maho-dou as Maho base camp) and said, "Poppu, okasan wants you to go home now. She wants to see our progress in piano lessons."

"Huh, okay, onee-chan." Pop said, "Anita-chan, gomen ne. I can't accompany you longer here. Can you bring the key to your house? I think, you should be the one who bring it home today."

"Okay, I'll bring the key."

"Well, I go now. Bye bye!"

"Bye bye!" said Anita.

After Doremi and Pop went, Anita thought, 'Poppu-chan is so lucky. She have a good older sister, and the great parents, and I... I don't have any older sister nor brother. I have Hazuki-san, but she isn't my older sister. She's just my cousin. I don't have parents anymore since the plane accident a week ago. I think... I want to be like Poppu-chan.'

Anita decided to go home. She walked out from Maho base camp and locked the door. She put the key in her backpack and went home.

In Harukaze's house, Doremi and Pop played piano very well. Both of them shown a good progress. Since five years ago, Pop was seriously learning from her mother, and of course, since that time, Doremi helped Pop to play piano well (as she had recover from her trauma, she and Pop learned together). Their parents were so happy to see that both of them had already shown their own progress, and they worked hard together to learn it.

"Okay, that's enough. Both of you show the great progress..." commented their mother, "Both of you are really my great daughter."

"That's because you teach us so patiently, okasan." Pop said.

"Yes. We're so lucky to have a great mother like you." Doremi agreed.

"Okay, now... both of you can request everything as a gift for you because you can play piano better than before. I'll buy it for you..." said their father, "Doremi, maybe... you want a phone cell? You said that almost all of your friends at school have it."

"No, otousan. I just want to be with you all. It's the most important thing that I want." Doremi said, "I don't have any 'buy' request for you, otousan."

"Maybe, you can say it to otousan..." said Pop, "But in your mind, you must be want if okasan make steak for our dinner."

"Hey, do you want to tease me?"

"No. I just make a prediction for your request in your mind."

"Huh, Poppu..." sighed Doremi, "Do you think that it's just like a tournament, or anything else? You can't read my mind."

"I know you, onee-chan. Steak is the one beside your boyfriend which is the important things in your life. For you, phone cell is an unimportant thing."

"Whatever."

"So, Poppu, is there something that you want?" asked their father to his younger daughter.

"Hmm, I think... I want an original saxophone."

"Saxophone?" asked Doremi, "That's too expensive! Even, it's more expensive than a phone cell. Poppu, don't request the expensive ones! Don't you remember when otousan bought our piano five years ago? Otousan almost sold his fishing equipment just to buy it."

"But otousan said that we could request everything. Why do I can't request a saxophone?"

"Poppu, saxophone is too exaggerate. Do you want to make otousan works so hard? Or... to make him really sell his fishing equipment? Just to buy a saxophone? Can't you just play your own trumpet? I see that your trumpet is still good."

"Is it wrong if I want to try saxophone?" yelled Pop, "I just want to learn music more and more!"

"But you must look at our condition now!"

"Stop! Doremi! Poppu! Don't be quarrel!" said their mother, "It's time for us to get the dinner, so let's we get the dinner and don't say anything!"

They got the dinner without talked about anything.

"I'm full." Pop said, "I want to sleep now. I don't want to be late tomorrow."

Pop walked into her room, then she slept.

Doremi realized that she had already made Pop angry, so she decided to ask an apologize.

After she got her dinner, she walked into Pop's room. She sat down on Pop's bed, and stroked Pop's hair.

"Gomen ne, Poppu." Doremi whispered, "I don't want to be quarrel with you. I just... want you to understand, but I can't control it. I can't control my emotions."

She kissed Pop's forehead and said, "However, you're still my cute younger sister. I love you."

Then, she walked to her room.

Meanwhile, Anita was in her room, still thought about her own life.

'How if I was Poppu-chan? I want to be like her. Does she mind if I want to be her? Even though it's just for a day?' she thought, then fell asleep.

In the morning, when Pop walked together with Anita to their school, Pop told Anita about her quarrel with Doremi.

"Why does she forbid me to request a saxophone from otousan? Otousan said that I could request anything. I didn't mind when otousan bought an electric guitar for her, in her birthday last year, but why she did it to me?"

"There's must be a reason why she did it. Don't be mad at your older sister."

"Whatever. If I remember about what she did last night, I think... it's better if I don't have any older sister, and just be the one. I really want to know, how if it really happen."

"Err, really?" suddenly, Anita thought something good (at least for her). She added, "Poppu-chan, do you really want it?"

"Uh-huh, so?"

"How if today, after school, we exchange our position? I'll be you, and you'll be me." Anita suggested, "I don't have any older sister. Different with you, I want to know, how if I have an older sister."

"Really? Do you really want it?" asked Pop.

Anita nodded.

"Okay, we'll do it at Maho base camp."

Then, when they were at Maho base camp, they used their magic to exchange their position.

Pop did it first, "Pipitto Puritto Puritan Peperuto! Change me to be Anitachi!"

After she changed, Anita did next, "Pikuta Pikuta Pekitan Pan! Change me to be Poppuchi!"

A few minutes after they did it, Hazuki walked into Maho base camp, "Anita-chan, let's we go home. Baaya cook one of your favorite food as our lunch, the fried squid."

'What?' asked Anita in her mind, shocked, as fried squid was really her favorite food, 'But why?'

"Yosh, I want to go home." Anita (Pop) said. (AN: the name which enclosed in brackets is the real name)

'Poppu-chan... I never said 'yosh'.' The real Anita thought. Her sweatdrop appeared.

"Okay, Poppu-chan, I go home now. Bye bye!"

"Bye bye!"

Then, Hazuki and Pop went to Fujiwara's house, and Anita brought Maho base camp's key and went to Harukaze's house.

"I'm home." Pop (Anita) said when she arrived.

"Uh, Poppu..." said Doremi, then she embraced Anita, "I hope you won't be angry anymore to see it."

"See... what?"

"Right here!" Doremi pulled Anita into the living room, "Now I know, why otousan asked us to request anything we want yesterday, because he got royalty again from the fishing magazine's publisher for his fishing article. Before you go home, otousan went home and gave me this." Doremi showed a pink phone cell to Anita.

"A phone cell?"

"Well, actually... otousan bought it yesterday. He wanted to give me this last night, and that's why, he asked me about it. But... when he saw us quarrel, he decided to didn't give it last night." Doremi said, "Uh, and you must see this. Beside this phone cell, otousan gave me this for you."

Doremi left Anita for a minute, then she came back with a saxophone in her hand.

"A saxophone?" asked Pop (Anita), "Uh, wow. I can't believe that... otousan bought it today. It's so wonderful."

"Well, I think so. That's a good saxophone for you. You know, I never intend to hamper you to learn saxophone."

"Really?"

"Of course. As your older sister, I'll always support you to do what you want."

"Well, arigatou... onee-chan."

Meanwhile, Hazuki and Pop had finished their lunch.

"How about the lunch?" asked Hazuki.

"Oishii. I like it." Anita (Pop) said.

"Okay..." said Hazuki, "and I hope you don't lie to say it, Poppu-chan."

"Well, hey! From where you know if I..."

"I saw you and Anita-chan at Maho base camp. You both exchanged position." Hazuki explained, "Tell me, Poppu-chan, why did you want to do this? Do you have a problem in your house? With Doremi-chan?"

"Uh, Hazuki-chan, I..."

"Poppu-chan, I know... whatever she did, she did it just to make the condition's better. If she's angry with you, she must be did it unintentionally."

"She doesn't love me. She forbid me to request a saxophone."

"So, that's the problem..." Hazuki thought for a minutes, then she added, "Poppu-chan, I think... she just want you to understand with your family's condition. I know that she always loves you, as your older sister."

"Uh, maybe you're right, Hazuki-chan." Pop said.

"So... can you stop it now? And go home to your house?"

Pop nodded, "But let me take a rest for a while here, please?"

"Okay."

In Pop's room, Anita thought, 'Poppu-chan must know if Doremi-san isn't as bad as she thought, but... how about me? Uh, no no no. In this case, I don't just think about myself. I must thought about Poppu-chan... and Doremi-san... I must stop it. I like to be Poppu-chan, but I don't want to lie to Poppu-chan's family, especially... Doremi-san.'

Then, she said to herself, "Okay, I must call Poppu-chan now."

Anita walked out from Pop's room and went downstairs. Nobody else near the phone.

Doremi was in her room, was busy to activate her phone cell.

"Registration form... registration form..." she said.

Anita took the phone at the first floor, then called Hazuki.

"Hazuki-san, it's me, Anita."

"Anita-chan, what's up?"

"Can I talk with..."

"Poppu-chan?" asked Hazuki, "I know about your exchange position. I'll call her, and you just need to wait."

Hazuki gave the phone to Pop, then Anita told Pop about the saxophone and all of things which happened a few minutes ago.

When Anita said it, Doremi walked out from her own room and heard what Anita said. Doremi came to Anita and said, "So, you're Anita-chan? And not Poppu?"

Anita frightened. She couldn't answer Doremi's question and just could stand up there, hold the phone.

Felt strange that her new best friend didn't say anything, Pop asked, "Anita-chan? Can you hear me?"

"Anita-chan, please, give the phone to me. I want to talk with Poppu." Doremi said.

Anita gave the phone to Doremi, then Doremi said to Pop by the phone, "Poppu, we need to talk."

Then, Pop went home to her house with Hazuki. There, Doremi explained about what happened last night, if she never intend to hamper Pop to learned saxophone, and she just wanted Pop to understand about their family's economic condition.

"Huh, gomen ne, onee-chan. I don't understand what you mean. I just really want to learn saxophone."

"I know, Poppu, and I understand."

"You know, Anita-chan? Doremi-chan and I have ever exchanged our position, right Doremi-chan?"

"Yup, that's right. It was when I was the only one who have already become a witch apprentice."

"Wait a minute! It means that you did it six years ago. Don't say if it was when you... uh I mean, when I saw you made a great origami."

"Well, actually... Hazuki-chan who made it." Doremi said, "But at last, we know that... it's better to be ourselves."

Then, Hazuki and Anita went home.
