"…Ri" Eri was in total darkness. She couldn't even see any glimpse of light.

"….Ri" The voice said more urgently. What is that voice? How could Eri see herself in the darkness?

"Eri…" The voice was calling her now. But where was it? And why did it sound so annoyed?

After a shove, a roll, and a thud, Eri awoke from her dream.

"Eri!" Chiki yelled. Eri, still not fully conscious, surveyed her surroundings. She could see Chiki's feet, and a bucket. What was it full of? "This is too hard to be my bed…" She murmured.

Eri soon found out what the bucket was full of. Ice water splashed her face and hair. Eri woke with a jolt, screaming. Chiki covered her mouth. She looked around. She was off of her bed. Eri must have fallen off. Or she could have been pushed….

"Chiki!" Eri whispered sharply. "Why did you wake me up at-" She brought the alarm clock close to her face. "5:30 A.M!"

"Vanilla and Strawberry said that they sensed Re, Flect, and a third person." Chiki said. "We need to beat them to the punch."

Eri groaned. She patted her matted hair. It was filled with water and had an ice cube in it. "And you trust them? They aren't the smartest fairies around. They could be-"

Eri was silenced by the tug of the back of her shirt and the feel of ice water going down her back. She turned to see Strawberry and Vanilla holding a small empty cup; vengeance in their eyes.

"Let's just go." Eri shivered as she grabbed her green hand mirror. She turned again to Strawberry and Vanilla. "You'll get yours later."

Meanwhile at the Scramble Crossing

Many feet above were Re and Flect.

"Hey Flect." Re called.

"What Re." They didn't get along in most cases.

"What are we doing here again?"

Flect sighed and put down the book he was reading. "Because Kagami wouldn't let us hear the end of it if we didn't come here with her." He pointed to a girl younger than them by a year or so teasing a butterfly. Kagami had long, silver hair and eyes. Her hair was fit into a ponytail. She wore a black tank top, black flats, no socks, and olive cargo capri pants.

Kagami sighed. She stopped teasing the butterfly and flew over to Re and Flect. "Flect. When are they going to be here? This isn't much fun."

Flect pushed his glasses up. "Not long now. 5…."

"Why do you always rely on him?" Re strained. "They get here when they get here."

Kagami smiled. Nothing like a little conflict to start the day. "Because Flect is so smart, unlike you."

"….4…."

"I am smart; I just don't need to make calculations every second of the day."

"…3…"

"Well maybe if you did, I would ask you for help more. Or are you jealous?" Kagami struck a cord there. Re's head snapped to attention.

"…2…."

"Why would I need to be jealous of him?" Re spat.

"I don't know." Kagami retorted. "Why would you need to be?" She added with a smile.

"…1…"

Re had had enough. "Flect! Will you shut up?"

Flect laughed. "Now Re, is that anyway to talk in front of our guests?"

Re was confused for a moment. Then it dawned on him. He looked around until he saw Cures Joy and Cheer on a near-by building. Cheer tried her hardest not to laugh. Joy waved kindly to him.

"Wow!" Cheer said. "I was kind of angry that you guys woke me up in the middle of the night. But now, you've made it worth my while."

Re turned a bright red and Kagami smiled. Mission accomplished. This was starting to become fun but she saw that the Cures were leaving. Kagami panicked. She didn't want the fun to end.

"Wait!" She yelled. "Why are you leaving!"

Cheer turned around to face Kagami. "There's no threat here." She said.

"But there could be!" Kagami yelled. Seeing Cheer's 'Oh really?' face, Kagami added, "I could turn someone into a False Cure."

"No you couldn't. There's no one awake within a square mile in Shibuya. And if you snuck into a house, you're bound to get caught."

This wasn't good. Kagami was running out of excuses. She turned to the Cure that hadn't talked since she'd been there. Red eyes, blue hair…. Kagami struck gold.

"You!" She yelled and pointed at Joy as they were about to leave again. "You're Cure Joy, aren't you?"

"Um, yea, I am. How do you know my name?"

"I was right!" She smirked and turned to Re, who knew this would turn bad the moment it started. "You gave such a vivid description!"

Joy raised an eyebrow while Re was confused and turning redder. "What are you-"

"Scarlet mixed with candy apple red (yes, candy apple red is a real color) eyes, darkish turquoise hair, super cute. That's how you described her, Re."

Re's getting angry now. Kagami thought. What a big surprise there. "I said nothing like that!" Re yelled, turning even redder. Lying or not, this always happened. This was Kagami's advantage.

"Oh big brother, you're not a very good liar. You're turning all red!"

Cheer sighed. "I'm glad I'm an only child." She said. "I couldn't handle a brat like that."

Re and Flect vanished faster than you could say their names together. Cheer blinked twice. Joy was already in her fighting stance and looking at Kagami. Cheer looked at Kagami. All you could see on her face was pure rage. Cheer also took her fight stance.

"I-I'm a brat!" Kagami shrieked. "I was trying to have fun, but you guys have pushed your luck!"

She put her hands out in front of her. Two mirrors carrying Cures Joy and Cheer appeared. She smiled.

"So let's let…" She chanted. "One become another!" The mirrors switched the images of the Cures and vanished. Kagami smiled sweetly. "Have a nice time being each other!" She sighed. "I thought you guys would be more fun, but you had to spoil the moment. Buh-bye!" She giggled and vanished.

Everything was silent for a moment. Cheer and Joy inspected each other. There was no harm done to them.

"Maybe… maybe she's not as good as she thinks she is." Cheer concluded. Joy pondered on this for a moment. "I don't know." She said. "It's just something about those mirrors and what she said."

Cheer shrugged. "Well, I know one thing."

"And what's that?"

"We have to watch out for a little brat who's had seven too many sodas."

"Huh?" Joy said. "I thought it was 'one too many'."

Cheer smiled. "Exactly."

Joy smiled back. So carefree she thought.

The next morning, Chiki, who had spent the night at Eri's, was the first one up. "Ah. I feel something interesting is going to happen today."

She scratched her head. That's weird. She thought. My hair feels and smells different? Kind of like Eri's…. the words from the other night had struck her. Enjoy being each other! Chiki raced to the bathroom mirror and stared back at her. A familiar look. Fuchsia eyes, long lime hair. The face she had was a familiar face, but not hers. That face belonged to Eri.

"OH MY GOSH!" Chiki in Eri's body screamed. Eri woke up startled.

"No ice water! I'm up!" She yelped. While she flailed she noticed something. All she could see was blurry objects.

"Don't tell me I need glasses." Eri groaned. "Chiki, why do I sound like you?"

Chiki handed Eri her glasses. Eri smiled. "I can see perfectly now! Thanks Chiks." Only, Eri was staring at herself. Eri franticly took a lock of her hair. Her short, light blue hair. She grabbed her green hand mirror. Eri was staring back at scarlet mixed with candy apple red eyes. Eri screamed. Chiki covered her mouth.

"Do you want to wake your parents!" She whispered sharply. "Then you'll be answering them in my body on impulse!"

Eri pondered on this for a moment. "You're right." She finally answered. "Guess we'll have to go to school like this."

The fairies held the alarm clock up. It was only 7:40; plenty of time.

Eri and Chiki did everything on impulse. They chose their usual bags and clothes. Eri snatched Chiki's shorts from her hands.

"Hey!" Chiki yelled. "Why did-"

"Think about it Chiks." Eri teased. "If they saw my body with your shorts, wouldn't they get suspicious?"

"But….Eri…please don't make me wear that…" Chiki pleaded, pointing to the skirt that lay on the bed.

"I'm sorry." Eri said with a smile on her face. "But I can't let you jeopardize our identities."

10 minutes later, Chiki was reluctantly dragged to class. They sat in each other's seats.

"I hate you SO much Eri." Chiki grumbled.

"It looks like someone has some low self-esteem issues."

They both turned to see a smiling Wataru. Chiki couldn't help it. She turned red in Eri's body and her head tilted ever-so-slightly to the right. Wataru raised an eyebrow.

"Hey." Wataru said skeptically. "That's what Minamimoto-chan always does."

"It's not like she does it on purpose." Chiki mumbled shyly.

"Hey, Misaki-sama" Eri said, emphasizing the honorific.

"You know you don't have to call me that." Wataru said. "Wataru works just as well. Besides, I should be calling you senpai."

"B-but, she's a year younger that you!" Chiki said frantically.

He shrugged. "But she's a lot smarter than me." He turned to Eri in Chiki's body. "Or I can call you Chiki-chan."

Chiki was as red as her eyes and getting redder.

"Nah." Eri said. "Chiki will be fine." She smiled. For just that second, Chiki could have sworn that she had seen Wataru turn a light shade of pink. He turned around and laughed.

"Well I-" He couldn't finish his sentence. There was something that caught his attention. "Who is that?" He pointed out the window. Chiki and Eri turned to see a floating Kagami looking straight at them. Chiki stood up first. "We have to go Misaki-sama- err Misaki-kun. Cover for us?" When Wataru gave the thumbs up, Chiki and Eri bolted out of the window.

"W-what are you doing!" He yelled. "We're on the second floor!" He was silenced when he saw the Chiki in Eri's body nimbly land on another building, jump to the ground, and run away.

"Well…" Wataru said, exasperated. "How 'bout that?"

Chiki and Eri followed Kagami to the top of a building, where they saw Flect.

"Change us back you little brat!" Eri yelled.

"A simple apology might have been nice but no." Kagami smiled. "This is too fun! Besides, I don't know how to undo this."

"What!" Chiki yelled.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Eri screeched.

"But," Kagami continued. "We can still have some fun."

Before they could answer, Flect created a white ball of energy and Kagami created a mirror. Flect launched the orb which sank into her mirror and disappeared. The mirror reappeared below a wide population of people and the white orb shot back out. All you could see was a flash of light. Then there was an image of a boy teaching a class.

"Oh! We got one Flect!" Kagami squealed. "A teacher? I'll help with that!"

When the light faded, there was a young boy with amber hair and eyes, with an orange jacket, shirt, pants and shoes.

"What's your name?" Kagami called.

"I am your reflection of pessimism in your life." The boy said. "I am Cure Despair!"

Kagami turned to the cures. "Well, your move."

As an answer, both girls held their hand mirrors up.

"Pretty Cure, reflect!"

The reflection of happiness and love in your life! Cure Joy!

The reflection of joy and luck in your life! Cure Cheer!

"And you," They both said simultaneously, pointing to Flect and Kagami. "….are going down!"

Joy realized what she just said and threw a fit. Cheer stood amazed at what she had done.

"Hurry up and make this fun." Kagami mused as the Cures jumped down. Everyone had fled. Despair didn't move. He didn't do anything.

"I'm not cut out for this." He moped. "Just go ahead and defeat me." Joy raised an eyebrow and Cheer stood there, mouth open. Just like that?

"No!" Kagami yelled from above. "Fight back! Make this interesting!" Flect was also surprised.

"I guess we made a faulty Cure." He said. "This is something for the notes." Then he disappeared.

Joy quickly took out her green had mirror and yelled, "Pretty Cure, Joy shower- err Cheer shoot!" Their bodies didn't affect their powers as green swirls were shot toward Despair. He quickly summoned an orange whip and cracked it through it.

Cheer groaned. "They can summon weapons now. What's next?"

"Can't you let me mope in peace?" Despair spat. Kagami's eyes widened. She smiled. This was getting interesting.

He cracked his whip once again, toward Cheer who narrowly dodged it.

"This would've been easier to dodge if you had taken ballet with me!" Cheer yelled.

"I think gymnastics is much better." Joy said as she flipped over Despairs head. She grabbed his shoulders behind him and threw him in the air. Cheer took the blue hand mirror.

"Oh! I forgot to mention." Kagami called. "You can't purify him with one attack. It's double or nothing. Have fun with that."

"That's it! I've had it with you!" Cheer yelled charging at Kagami, with joy holding her back.

Kagami yawned. "This whole body switch thing is boring now. I'm out." She stretched and vanished.

Cheer stopped struggling and fell to her knees. "Not that your body isn't great and all Chiki, but I just want to get to mine back."

Joy sighed. She didn't want to be used to Eri's body. "We can figure this out."

Despair landed on his feet and charged at them. Suddenly, both their mirrors started to glow. Words entered their mind. They both stood, joined hands, and pointed their mirrors at Despair.

"Pretty Cure…." They both said. "Pure Ace Healing!"

A purple glowing light spread to Despair and encased him into a bubble. "Purify!" The light dimmed and the boy & his mimicry mirror were on the ground. An image above him showed students clapping for him.

When they walked home with the fairies carrying the mirror, they were anything but happy.

"We couldn't even get our bodies' back." Eri moped, curling her green hair.

"It's alright Eri." Chiki said, grateful that she had her body back. "We'll figure it out next time."

Eri looked at her best friend. "But what if we don't have…..another…..chance…."

"You've finally noticed?"

Eri was dumbfounded. "But how….you…I…"

Chiki shrugged. "I think it was that healing." She said. "I guess it purifies everything."

"But we are pure! Aren't we?"

"Yea but not each other's bodies we aren't. We weren't whole or something. Oh I don't know."

"And you knew!" Chiki turned to Eri, ready to pounce. "You didn't tell me Chi-"

Chiki broke into a sprint before Eri could finish.

"Come back here!" Eri yelled as she bounded after her.

Chiki: Hi there!

Eri: Hiya!

Re: Yo.

Flect: Charmed

Kagami: What's up?

Chiki: What are you doing here!

Eri: This is our job!

Chiki and Eri: Next time! Surprised students? Kagami's crush!

Kagami: What was that?

Flect: Oh nothing

Re: We better see you there.
