"Yuuki. Yuuki. What does yuuki mean again Claire?" Anika asked as she scribbled on her paper.
"Yuuki. That means courage. And in case you're wondering, ai means love." Claire answered as Anika wrote.
"Ugh. I hate doing homework. I don't understand, or remember this stuff. I can remember things if I think of other things. Like yuuki, I think of you." Anika told Claire. Claire's eyebrows furrowed.
"Why do you relate courage to me? I'm not that courageous." Claire asked.
"I related yuuki to you because Cure Star is the Pretty Cure of courage. Just like I relate jounetsu to me. I'm the Pretty Cure of Passion. Also, I think of the Princess when I hear kibou or kiseki." Anika explained.
"Interesting study method you have Anika. I like it." Claire smiled.
"How else am I supposed to remember all this stuff? Speaking of homework, I need a break." Anika said as she stood up and walked out of her room. Claire ran after her.
(OP-Futari wa Tomodachi! Futari wa Purikyua!)
"Anika! Where are you going?" Claire called out as she chased after Anika.
"I'm going to Sophie's. To get a chocolate bar!" Anika yelled back. Claire was confused.
"Wait up!" Claire said as she ran up to where Anika stopped. Anika stood in front of a large shop called 'Chocolate Dream'. Claire thought this really must be a dream for Anika. Anika walked on in. Claire followed close behind her.
"Hey Sophie! It's me, Anika! I came for some chocolate! I brought a friend too." Anika called out. Anika and Claire walked up to the counter where a brown haired, tan woman stood. Her face lit up as she seen Anika.
"Anika-chan! Great to see you! When you said 'friend', I was worried you'd brought Rori and Emma again. I see it's not them though. What's your name hon'?" Sophie asked Claire.
"My name is Mizutama Claire. Pleased to meet you." Claire responded shyly. Sophie's face showed great confusion.
"Wow Anika. You found a friend that's not just like you. Impressive." Sophie said, nodding her head.
"Sophie. Claire isn't my friend, she's my best friend. Its short notice, but it's true!" Anika told her.
"Oh. Well, can I treat you and your friend to a treat?" Sophie said as she laughed at herself.
"You definitely can." Anika told her as the three started to laugh.
"Hmm. What is a good target today…" Riko said as he watched various places in Shinataka.
"No isn't the time for pondering Riko. It is the time for action. Get down to the Heart Garden and stop Pretty Cure." Said a cloaked figure standing behind Riko.
"Y-yes your highness. Right away." Riko said as he disappeared.
Eyecatch: (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.)
He went to a very busy street in the middle of town. The street Anika and Claire were on. He walked down, searching for something to turn into a Meiwaku. He walked up and down the street and finally spotted a small bird hopping around on the ground. Darkness gathered in his hands and he sent it at the bird, causing it to grow terrifyingly.
"-Waku!-" It cried, sending people running and screaming.
"Uh oh. Anika. Outside." Claire said as she heard the screams from the street.
Anika and Claire jumped up and ran out, with Sophie following close behind.
Outside in the street, there were people running everywhere, and a giant bird screeching in the middle of the street. Anika noticed Mira, who was scrambling on the ground to get up and away from the monster. Anika ran to her sister immediately.
She stood in front of her sister and looked angrily at the bird.
"Leave my sister alone!" Anika yelled at the bird. Claire started to run out when she stopped for a moment, noticing what Anika was doing.
The bird swept its wing at Anika, meaning to blow her back. After the wind had passed, Anika was still standing there, waiting.
"Anika! Let's get out of here!" Mira said from behind her.
Claire continued running out to Anika, and when she reached her she took her hand.
Anika looked back at Mira, who was terrified.
"Get inside Sophie's shop Mira." Anika told her sister.
Mira nodded and scrambled back a bit.
"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.
"A-Anika! You- You-!" Mira muttered as her eyes went wide.
"Yeah. Now listen to what I told you, get inside Sophie's shop." Anika told her sister as she crawled away.
"Great." Cure Blaze said to Cure Star.
"What?" Cure Star asked.
"Mira knows we're Pretty Cure. Like I said, great." Cure Blaze said frowning.
"We can't worry about that right now. We have to help this bird and these people." Cure Star said.
"Ok!" Cure Blaze said as they both jumped up and kicked the bird back. They fought with it for a bit, before Cure Star raised her arms.
"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 the Meiwaku back as Cure Blaze jumped up, arms raised.
"Power of the sun! Heart of flame! Heart Sunshine!" said Cure Blaze as she put her hands in a heart and flames shot out towards the Meiwaku. It broke the black heart on the bird's forehead, returning it to normal.
"Wow. Now let's get Riko." Cure Blaze said. She and Cure Star 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. It went towards were Riko was standing. Suddenly, Sukushi appeared and raised her hand. She reflected the attack and her and Riko disappeared.
"What just happened here?" Anika asked.
"Th-they just disappeared. How?" Claire said. The two were standing there, staring at the spot where Riko and Sukushi had just disappeared.
"Hey! Anika! Come on. We've got to go home. Come on!" Mira called from outside Sophie's shop.
Anika ran over to her sister, and the two walked home together. It wasn't a very quiet walk though, because sisters are sisters.
"Ciro, what do you think Mira will think of today? She had seen us transform." Claire asked Ciro, who was in her arms. He looked up at her.
"I don't know. She'll probably ask Anika about it though." Ciro replied.
"Do you think she'll tell anyone?" Claire said as she stared after the spot where Mira and Anika, and secretly Cira too, had just walked home from.
"I sure hope not Claire, but a person can only hope. And to hope is to believe. If Mira really believes, she won't tell. I'm sure of it." Ciro said as he jumped in Claire's bag.
"Oh. Hi Claire. I thought you would've left with Anika and Mira. What are you doing out here?" Sophie asked as she came out of her shop after noticing Claire.
"Oh, I'm going home now, I was just thinking. I also wouldn't be going home if I went with them. I live down at the end of this street. Anika doesn't know that though." Claire said as she giggled. Sophie's eyebrows went up.
"Hold on. Are you related to Mizutama Luna, who owns the art store down the street?" Sophie asked.
"Yes. She's my aunt. I live with her at the shop." Claire said smiling.
"Oh, well tell Luna I said hi. Bye Claire." Sophie said as Claire started to walk off.
Ciro poked his head out of Claire's bag.
"Hmm. I feel something about her. I have a feeling she's going to do something very kind and helpful for us someday Claire." Ciro said as he looked back at Sophie.
"Maybe, but let's wait for that to happen before we start worrying about it, ok?" Claire said.
"Fine. I wonder what Luna is making you, I mean us, for supper. Hmm Claire?" Ciro said, making Claire laugh.
"You aren't that different from Cira, or Anika for that matter, are you Ciro?" Claire said as the two walked home.
"Anika. What's a Pretty Cure?" Mira asked as she walked in to Anika's room. She sat on the bed, which made Anika look up.
"What? I can't tell you that! It's a secret!" Anika told her sister as she pushed her off her bed.
"Well, I want to know. And I want to know what you and Mizutama have to do with it." Mira said as she stood up.
"I can't tell you! Now get out of my room Mira!" Anika said as she threw a pillow at her sister. Cira crawled up to Anika's head.
"I think you can tell her, if she can keep it a secret. But don't tell her too much though, ok?" Cira told Anika.
Mira jumped back to the door. Her eyes went wide and one of her hands was up and shaking as it pointed at Cira.
"Th-that talks! How?" Mira muttered. Cira hopped off the bed and walked over to Mira.
"Mira, can you promise not to tell anybody about Pretty Cure? We will tell you a little bit about it if you can promise." Cira told her.
Mira nodded.
"Good. Well, first of all, I'm not a that. My name is Cira. Me and my partner Ciro came here to find your sister and Claire to be Pretty Cure to save our world and yours. End of story." Cira explained. She turned back to go back on the bed.
"Wait…Cira. I have a question." Mira said, catching Cira's attention.
"Yes?" Cira asked patiently.
"Will Anika get hurt being a Pretty Cure thing?" Mira asked.
"Hurt? I don't think so. I hope not. I don't want Anika to get hurt." Cira said, alarmed by Mira's question.
"What do you care Mira?" Anika asked.
"Well, first, I don't want my little sister in danger. Although it may not always seem like it, I care about you Anika." Mira said as she walked over and sat next to Anika.
"M-Mira. Thank you." Anika said as their mother called from the kitchen.
"Supper!" Anika and Mira said as they both jumped up. They both laughed at each other as they ran out to the kitchen.
