''What is it this early in the morning?'' Sophie whined into the phone.

''I need to do what? I can't, I have nobody to watch my store. Well... If it's that bad. Fine. I'll go.'' She said. She hung up the phone and sighed.

(OP-Futari wa Tomodachi! Futari wa Purikyua!)

Knock, knock

Anika sat up and glared at the door.

''Go away mom. It's Saturday.'' She whined.

''It's not your mother. Get up.'' Claire said as she pushed into Anika's room.

''Oh. Um... morning. What do you want with me this early?'' Anika groaned. She put her head on the pillow and curled up again.

''I ran into Sophie this morning, and she asked me if the two of us and maybe some of our friends could watch the store for her today. She has somewhere to go and she needs someone to do it. Plus, she said that you could get some free merchandise.'' Claire paused. ''But don't eat her out of stock.''

''Manage Sophie's store? That's like a dream come true. Cira and Lila, get ready! We are getting serious today.'' Anika said as she jumped out of the bed. She grabbed some clothes and Claire walked into the living room.

''You disturb her sleep, she's a grouch. The minute you tell her 'Free Sweets!', she's rearing to go.'' Claire whispered to herself as there was a knock on the door. She went over and opened it, only to see Nai, Himitsu and Hisoka standing there. Himitsu and Hisoka were smiling happily, but Nai had a blank face.

''We ran into that woman who owns the candy store. She told us to come here and talk to you.'' Nai said. Claire smiled and let them in. Anika walked down the hall with socks in her mouth and a brush in her hair.

''Oh, hey guys. Just give me a minute. I can't go anywhere with my hair down. It really bothers me.'' She said as she seen Nai and her sisters.

''Claire, why did that woman tell us to come here?'' Himitsu asked.

''Well... she's going out of town for the day and she needs someone to watch her shop. So she asked us to do it, and I guess she thought we'd need help.'' Claire said.

''Oh, I see. Well, I assume it would be fine. Right Nai?'' Hisoka said.

''Yeah. Sure.'' Nai mumbled.

"We are the official managers of Chocolate Dream now! Get your aprons on!" Anika commanded from the counter. She grabbed 5 aprons, each a different color. She tossed them at the others and they pulled them over their heads.

''Ok... so what do we do now?'' Himitsu asked. Anika took an intake of breath, but nothing came out of her mouth. She laughed. ''I'm not quite sure. Let's just wait for a customer to come. Then we... improvise... I think.''

''You really are extraordinary 'Nika. Extraordinary.'' Claire said. She went in the back room and started shuffling around through the boxes of inventory.''

''Kori... You... You...YOU!'' Jakia's last words were as Kori disappeared into the light.

''She'll probably be back soon. Not that it's a good thing.'' Claire said to herself. She finished the shelf she was sorting through as she heard Anika's familiar whine.

''Unbelievable! CLAIRE!'' She cried as Claire ran out to see three customers getting irritated with her.

''What have you done now?'' Claire said as she pushed Anika out of the way. She looked at the purchases, and typed them in on the cash register. ''That'll be 650 Yen please. Sorry to keep you waiting ma'am.''

She examined the next customer's merchandise and punched in the numbers just like the last. She did the same with the third customer, and when they were all gone, she let out a heavy sigh.

''Anika? Where did you go?'' Claire said as she scanned the store. Anika poked her head out from behind the door of the back room.

''Get out here. We need a plan here. I, of course, will handle the cash. Anika, take Nai and go do inventory. Himitsu and Hisoka, stay out here and help the customers if they need you to do so. Got it? Ok.'' Claire commanded as she opened the cash register and counted the money. Anika grabbed Nai's arm and dragged her into the back room.

''Let go of me you idiot!'' Nai shouted from the back.

Himitsu plopped into a chair and Hisoka grabbed a broom.

''I will get back at those brats for killing Kori. Short tempered as he may have been... HE WAS MY BESTEST FRIEND!'' She paused as she passed Chocolate Dream. She spun around and her eyes went wide.

''But not before some treats! Disguise time!'' She said as she pulled a cloak and some dark sunglasses on. She ran into the store.

''Hello Chocolate people! I have come for a treat!'' Jakia said. Claire, Himitsu and Hisoka looked up, and the latter two gasped.

''What the...?'' They whispered.

''Claire? What's going on out here?'' Anika asked as she walked out with a clipboard in her hands and a pen in her mouth.

''Hey!-'' Jakia began as Nai ran out and gave her a glare.

''Heeeelllloooo Nai! What're you doing around here?'' Jakia said as she ran over and hugged Nai.

''Get... off... of... me...'' Nai cried helplessly from inside Jakia's enormous squeeze.

''You know her?'' Anika asked.

''Yeah...'' Himitsu began. She looked hopelessly at Hisoka.

''She's our...'' Hisoka hesitated. ''brother's girlfriend. Yes, Shun's girlfriend Jackie.''

''Oh too bad... I guess I'll have to break it to Ri and Em. Romance movies and chocolates for a whole weekend. Wonderful.'' Anika muttered. Claire laughed.

''Don't worry. I have a feeling she'll be gone soon.'' Nai snarled as she squirmed her way free of Jakia's grasp.

''Anyways. I'll have... 10 of these... and 3 of these here...'' She said as she grabbed the candy. She paused and turned to Nai. ''Got any money, deary?''

''Here. Take it and get out.'' Nai shoved some change into Jakia's hands. She gave it to Claire and ran out.

''Hate that girl.'' Nai said as she watched the door after Jakia left.

''Eat my chocolates, then find the meanies! Eat my chocolates and- WAIT A MINUTE. That pink head was the one who's house I was stomping on! I have to go back and get my revenge!'' She said as she skipped down the road away from the store. She shoved a chocolate in her mouth and stopped. After swallowing the chocolate whole, she spun around and dashed back to the store.

''You two! I'm going to get you!'' Jakia cried as she burst through the doors of Chocolate Dream. She was breathing hard, and had a disgusted look spread across her face.

''Have you come back for more? You are going to put me in the poor house Jackie.'' Nai said dryly. She looked at Jakia who was catching her breath.

Anika walked back into the main room and examined Jakia.

''Hey, you-'' She began. Jakia interrupted.

''I'm going to kill you for killing Kori! You monster!'' Jakia said as she ripped off her cloak and held her hands out to Anika's neck.

''Hey! It's you! Get off of me!'' Anika shouted from under Jakia's grip.

''Let go.'' Himitsu and Hisoka said together as they each wrapped a hand around Jakia's neck. They lifted her up and thrusted her outside. Claire ran over to Anika and helped her up.

''Let's transform!''

''Pretty Cure Miracle Eclipse!''

''The flaming heart of the sun - Cure Blaze!''

''The shining heart of the moon - Cure Star!''

"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.

They ran to the street to Jakia. She was glowing with a crystal blue aura, and was obviously filled with rage.

''This is for Kori!'' Jakia said as she dove for the two. She pushed them into a wall and jumped back, preparing to deliver the finishing blow.

''You think we're done that easily? You really are an idiot!'' Cure Blaze said. She pushed herself off of the wall and helped Cure Star.

''Let's finish her like we did the other, and get back before any customers come.'' Cure Star said. Cure Blaze nodded.

''Power of the moon! Heart of shine! Heart Moonlight!'' Cure Star said as she leaped above Jakia and held her hands out downwards. The quintessence shot out and created an orb around Jakia. She looked around frantically and pounded on the barrier.

''Yes!'' Cure Star said as she landed on the ground again. Cure Blaze smiled and ran forward. She jumped and flipped over top of Jakia and her blue barrier.

''Power of the sun! Heart of flame! Heart Sunshine!'' She said as a fiery red layered over the blue starlight.

Cure Blaze landed next to Cure Star and looked at her.

''Pretty Cure Explosion!'' The two said as they high-fived. The barrier exploded around Jakia, and as they cleared, she was left in a slump in the dust.

''Oww...'' She moaned from the ground. She opened her eyes and jumped up immediately. As she tried to move, her body froze in place.

On top of the roof of Chocolate Dream stood Nai, Himitsu and Hisoka with their hands out and glowing. They became one and Nai snapped her fingers. Jakia was flung into the air.

''Now is our chance Star.'' Cure Blaze said. She grabbed Cure Star's hand.

"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.

''Oh come on!'' Jakia whined. She paused for a moment. ''Oh well, at least I'll be with Kori!''

The combined power circled around her. She closed her eyes and relaxed as the magic enveloped her. She smiled and disappeared with the light. In her place was the Aqua Rainbow Heart. Cure Blaze ran ahead and grabbed it as she and Claire untransformed.

''My job here is done.'' Nai said as she disappeared from the roof. Anika and Claire ran back inside the store as a group of customers walked up the street.
