"Claire! Over here!" Anika called out. Claire and another girl noticed Anika and walked over.
"Hello Anika, Emma, Rori. Was there something you wanted?" She asked.
"Hey, aren't you Jessica, from Peach Class? Are you two friends?" Emma interjected before Anika could answer.
"Y-yes. Well we just met… and Claire is the president so I look up to her, but other than that…" Jessica trailed off.
"Yeah, we're friends. We're in the Science and Art Club. We're both going to join the Dance Team too. Jessica's a star ballerina." Claire said, making Jessica blush.
"Ballet. That's such a romantic and majestic dance. I love it." said Rori adoringly. Emma rolled her eyes.
"I think ballet is boring. I mean, I watched a performance once, and I fell asleep immediately." She said.
"Ballet isn't boring. It's fun and graceful." said Anika, which put Emma and Rori and shock. This was one of the few things they didn't know about Anika. She shook her head.
"Anyways, we were wondering, would you and Jessica like to come to a sleepover? It'll be with me, Em and Ri." Anika asked.
"A… Sleepover? Sure! It should be fun, right Jessica?" Claire said enthusiastically. She nudged Jessica's arm.
"Umm…yeah." She mumbled.

Knock! Knock!
Anika ran to the door. Mira walked out of her room.
"Coming!" Anika called as she opened the door.
Standing on the outside of the door was Claire, wearing pyjamas and carrying a bag. She smiled.
"Come on in!" Anika said as Claire did walk inside. She paused to look around the large space.
"Welcome to my home! I'm excited about this and I'm really glad you came. By the way, the thing behind me is my sister Mira." She said as she pointed her thumb behind her. Claire giggled.
"Nice to meet you Mira. My name is Claire." she said waving to Mira, who had her nose in the fridge.
"Hi. Anika, why can't you be more polite like your friend?" she asked. She stood up and walked back down the hall.
Anika sighed.
"Come on, let's put your bag in my room." Anika said as she ran down the hall. She turned into one of the rooms.
"Wow! Your room is so cool Nika. I like the sun and soccer stuff." Claire laughed. She laid her bag down and walked in further.
"Hey. What's this?' She asked, pointing to a large sun shaped poster on Anika's wall that had names on it.
"Mom calls it my sun of friends. I write all my friends' names on it. The diagonal ones are my best friends." Anika said as she sat down.
"I-I'm on one of the best friend spaces? Oh my. Why is one of them blank?" Claire said as she examined the sun.
Anika laughed.
"First, you're on it because you're my best friend. Second, I only have three best friends." She answered.
There was another knock on the door. Anika jumped up and ran to get it.
Eye catch: (Anika kicks a soccer ball and it flies with Lila on it. Lila and the ball crash into Cira and Ciro and a PCE logo appears on the screen as Anika and Claire pop in.)
From the door Claire heard Emma and Rori.
"I'm Em!" Emma said.
"And I'm Ri!" Rori continued.
"It's time for a sleepover party!" they both finished.
Claire laughed.
"H-hello." came a voice from behind Emma and Rori. It was Jessica. Claire walked out to greet her when the four came up the hall.
"Hey Claire! I didn't know you where here. Anyways, let's have some fun tonight!" Rori said as she raised her arms in the air. They all were in Anika's room now and were sitting some in the room.
"Hey, Anika. Mom said you can make supper with your friends. I'm hungry, so don't ruin it." Mira called out from her room.
Anika gasped. "I almost forgot! Let's go! If it's not just me, maybe we can make something good!" Anika said as they all walked to the kitchen.
"Ok. I'll peel the carrots. Em, you do the noodles. Ri, you chop onions. Claire, you boil the water, and Jessica, you… you wash the vegetables." Anika told them. They broke the line they were in and went to get their stuff.
Later, while they were working, Anika gasped. Everyone else looked at her.
"My carrot disappeared!" Anika cried. Claire walked over.
"Here Nika, you watch the water, and I'll make up for your… mess." She said, taking the peeler from Anika. Emma and Rori, and even Jessica laughed. They went back to work and were refocused.
"Mmm… Smells good." Jessica said as she stirred the soup.
"Is it ready?" Anika asked.
"Um, yes, actually. Can somebody get some bowls?" Jessica replied.
"Mira!" Anika called out. Mira walked down the hall, following the scent of the soup. She stopped and sat down.
"I hope this is good." She said as she, and the others picked up their spoons.
"Delicious…" Mira and Anika said together. They both started stuffing it down, proving that they really were sisters. The others laughed.
After supper was done, they went back to Anika's room.
Rori stood in the door way and looked around. She ran in and grabbed her pillow as the rest of them walked in. She knocked down Emma first.
Anika grabbed her pillow, as did Claire, Emma and Jessica. Pillows were flying, and feathers from the pillows too. By the time the fight was over, they all fell to the floor laughing.
Then there was a bang. They all scrambled out onto the balcony.
"-Waku-!" cried something in the black night.
Anika and Claire immediately ran inside and grabbed their Heart Charms. When they came back out, a Meiwaku was stomping around the yard. Anika sighed.
"Unbelievable! Does this really have to happen tonight?" She said.
"Um… Anika. I think we may have to jump." Claire whispered in Anika's ear. Anika nodded.
The two climbed up on the ledge and leaped. Claire landed in her feet, and Anika, on her behind. Anika stood up and they ran out in front of the Meiwaku. They grabbed their charms.
"Pretty Cure Miracle Eclipse!" they yelled.
Red and Blue light surrounded them, and a new outfit appeared.
"The flaming heart of the sun, Cure Blaze!" said Anika.
"The shining heart of the moon, Cure Star!" said Claire.
"Together we are Pretty Cure!" they both said.
"With the power of light," said Cure Blaze.
"And the shine of our hearts," said Cure Star.
"We will restore the power of hope!" they both finished.
"You foolish girls will never beat me." said Riko as he jumped out of the Meiwaku's way.
It charged for them and they jumped high. It crashed into the balcony and it started to fall. Emma, Rori and Jessica's screams sounded from the falling balcony as Cure Blaze and Cure Star realized what happened.
"You get the Meiwaku, I'll get them." Cure Star said as she leaped towards the falling balcony.
Cure Star jumped up, raising her arms. Her hands lit up with a glow.
"Power of the moon! Heart of stars! Heart Moonlight!" she said. Her hands were in a heart shape as blue stardust exploded from her hands. It held up the balcony and the girls fell down onto the ground. They crawled back and stared at Cure Star.
"W-who are you?" Emma asked. Cure Star looked back at her three scared friends.
"My name is Cure Star. My partner over there is Cure Blaze. We are Pretty Cure." She responded. She let the balcony drop and helped the girls back up into the room. She distantly heard Cure Blaze using Heart Sunshine, and knew she would be needed, so joined her.
"Hey. You're here. Good timing. We have a Meiwaku to get rid of." Cure Blaze said as she faced Cure Star.
"Let's do this." Cure Star said as the two joined hands.
"Heart of the Sun, Flame!" said Cure Blaze as she drew half a heart with her free hand.
"Heart of the Moon, Shine!" said Cure Star as she drew the other half of the heart with her free hand.
"The heart of the sun," said Cure Blaze.
"And the heart of the moon," said Cure Star.
"Will eclipse the darkness!" they both said, freeing their hands, and pulling those arms back.
"Pretty Cure Heart Eclipse!" they yelled, pushing their arms out toward the heart. It exploded in red and blue light and hit the Meiwaku, making it disappear. They jumped back to the restored balcony, and untransformed. In Anika's room were three girls asleep on the floor. Anika and Claire joined them.
