"Muzu is incompetent. We can do better, right Nai?" Himitsu asked in a whisper as the bus started and the talking volume increased.
"I believe that, at least we should be able to please the Dark Prince with our knowledge." Hisoka said as she nodded.
"These simpletons believe we are their friends. They are complete idiots." Himitsu agreed.
"What do you think, Nai?" They both asked as they looked between them.
"Shut up. If we weren't in front of these humans, you would not be here now, and you are the idiots. I have no need to listen to you." Nai said as she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep.
(OP-Futari wa Tomodachi! Futari wa Purikyua!)
"We are here!" Anika cried as she leaped off the bottom step of the bus.
"Watch out for yourself Hibani-san. Your recklessness could get you hurt." Nai said as she and the sisters walked past Anika and Claire.
"That was strange." Claire said as she watched the triplets walk off.
"Come on! We don't want to be dragging behind!" Anika told Claire as she towed her into the museum.
"Ok. Today we are visiting the Momomiya Museum of Art. Please behave and show that Shinzoo Academy is an honorable school. All of you. Now I don't mean act like a bunch of ants scurrying to the every command of the queen, or in this case the teacher!" Inoru-sensei said as she led the group through a set of large doors and laughed at her bad joke. The class looked at her like she was losing her sanity.
"Hello students. My name is Hideyoshi Kurumi. I will be your tour guide for today. I would appreciate it if you abide the museum rules, which includes the famous look and no touch rule. If that's all, I would ask you to follow me into the modern art room." A tall, green haired woman said as she made her way around and in front of the group, she opened another set of large doors that everyone herded through like sheep.
"This is cool. Very twisty." Anika said as she and Claire observed a display.
"I agree. It is very interesting how much feeling someone can put into something like this." Claire said as she leaned towards it a bit.
"I don't get it." Nai said as she examined the statue from top to bottom.
"It says that it symbolizes the confusion the artist felt at the time he made this." Claire said as she read the plaque beside her.
"Confusion? It looks like a giant pretzel made by someone who can't make a pretzel." Anika said as she scratched her head and looked at the piece closely.
"I suppose that you all can have your own opinion. Just as this symbolized one thing to the artist, it can mean something completely different to each of you. Like your pretzel idea. Now that you mention it, I think you're right." Inoru-sensei said as she walked over to the five girls.
"Hey! Claire! Come here! I got a question about this Mona chick." Rori called out from the next room as she waved at Claire.
"Come on and see what she's smiling like crazy for." Anika said as she went with Claire over to her friends.
"Confusion..." Nai whispered to herself when they were gone.
"Do you need any assistance?" asked as man's voice from behind Nai, Himitsu and Hisoka. They turned to see a familiar face standing behind them.
"Chikarya!" Nai gasped as she looked at him. Himitsu and Hisoka looked him up and down and laughed at his museum uniform.
"It's Shun here. And nice to see you too." Chikarya said as he patted Nai's head. He looked at Himitsu and Hisoka.
"You decided to split up for this little mission, did you?" Chikarya said as he smiled at Himitsu and Hisoka.
"Oh shut-" Himitsu started.
"Up." Hisoka finished.
"May I ask what you are doing at this boring place? If you had to fight those two, why didn't you choose somewhere... I don't know... more exciting?" Chikarya asked he faked a yawn.
"It's part of the charade. If we stick out, they will discover our secret." Himitsu answered, although it was directed for Nai.
"Yeah. We have even allied ourselves with the two, making them believe we are their friends. Their trusted companions." Hisoka said as she glanced at Anika and Claire, who were arguing about Mona Lisa's smile.
"Well then. Why don't you make like that painting your friends are looking at, and put your fake smiles on. Blend in." Chikarya said as he walked off before Nai could speak.
"Curse him. When the day comes that he is gone, I will ridicule his loss, no mourning at all." Nai said as she flipped her hair and the triplets walked away from the statue.
"I'm gonna break something!" Muzu yelled as he smashed his fist into a rock.
"What is this pointless human thing anyways? I hate how humans make pleasure out of even depressing things. They should be more realistic." Muzu said as he kicked the crumbled rock at his feet.
"I will get you!" Muzu screamed as he slammed his two fists into a large rock. He disappeared as the rock crumbled and fell to a pile of dust.
"Come on Anika! Stop gawking at the Scream." Claire said as she pulled on Anika's arm. She ignored her and continued looking at the painting.
"It's lunch time." Claire said. Anika looked at her, grabbed her hand and pulled her to the front of the group.
"Wait! It's only 10:30. It's not lunch time!" Anika said as she looked at the clock, then glared at Claire.
"I was running out of options." Claire said as she laughed at Anika's face.
"Not funny. Lunch isn-" Anika started. Rori and Emma interrupted her with a knock on the head. Claire forcefully held back a laugh as Kurumi started to speak.
"I see you children have ventured into our historic famous paintings room, as well as our modern art room." She paused and giggled. "But we have our most prized art pieces, valued at millions world wide in this next room. We are privileged to have these fine masterpieces in our museum, and I hope you enjoy them." Kurumi finished as she unlocked the next set of large doors.
"WAH!" Kurumi screamed as she jumped back.
"Hideyoshi-san! What's the matter?" Inoru-sensei said as she helped the white-faced woman stand.
"Th-the ART! It... it... it's MOVING!" She cried in fear.
"Claire." Anika said. Claire nodded and they ran off and hid behind the corner. Making sure no one was around, they joined hands.
"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.
"Star. You get the class, Inoru-sensei and Hideyoshi-san out of here. I'll distract the… uh… Meiwaku art?" Cure Blaze commanded as Cure Star nodded.
"Ok. I'll make sure they're no where near." Cure Star said as she looked at the group behind her. Half were watching the two, the other watching the floating art.
"Everyone! Come on! You have to get out of here! Inoru-sensei! Minna! Hideyoshi-san! Go!" Cure Star commanded. They blinked at her with confusion. She sighed.
"Come on. It's dangerous here. You have to hurry, or you could get hurt." She explained with boredom.
"Who are you?" Inoru-sensei asked as she looked at Cure Star with the same curiosity as everyone else.
"My name is Cure Star. Now let's go." Cure Star said impatiently.
"STAR! Hurry!" Cure Blaze cried from inside the room.
"Anika…" Cure Star said under her breath. From inside the room, Muzu yelled and pointed towards the door. Cure Star gasped and jumped over.
"Power of the Moon! Heart of Shine! Heart Moonlight!" Cure Star called out as a shield of quintessence spread out in front of the class, Inoru-sensei and Kurumi.
"Muzu! I won't let you hurt my friends, my teacher or this nice guide! They didn't do anything to you! Not one of them!" She yelled at Muzu. As the statue pressed into the shield, Cure Star closed her eyes.
"Your friends? All of them?" Muzu said as he smiled and waved at Nai. Anger flared on her face and she snapped her fingers. Muzu flew back against the wall.
"You incompetent idiot." Nai whispered angrily. She glared at Muzu as he pushed himself off of the wall.
"Power of the Sun! Heart of Flame! Heart Sunshine!" Cure Blaze yelled inside the room as a flame blazed at Muzu. He snarled at her and disappeared, leaving a room of evil art.
"One problem down. A dozen more to go." Cure Blaze whined as Cure Star ran up to them.
"Well, let's get rid of them so we can finish our field trip. And fast." She paused. "They're getting suspicious." Cure Star whispered.
"Then let's do this! I-ku-yo!" Cure Blaze shouted enthusiastically.
"Ok." Cure Star agreed happily.
"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 art pieces, causing them to reappear in their proper places.
"Let's get outta here." Cure Blaze said as the two ran out.
"Is everything okay in there Hideyoshi-san? Is it normal again?" Inoru-sensei said as she watched the nervous woman.
"It's fine. I think. Let's go in." Kurumi said as she reopened the doors with shaky hands. The class walked in.
"Wow! They're soooo pretty!" Rori and Emma gushed with sparkling eyes.
"They are. They are." Anika agreed immediately. She ran up to the largest piece in the room.
"Anika, you'll never grow up." Claire laughed as she joined the group in front of the statues. They all laughed, cried and smiled at each one, each with unique reactions.
"This is the best field trip ever." Anika said cheerfully as they walked onto the bus. Claire, Rori, Emma and most of the class cheered in agreement.
"This was of no interest at all." Himitsu and Hisoka said together as Nai smirked in agreement.
