"Ah!" Chiki rejoiced as she sat down at her beloved school desk.

"You would be the only one happy about learning." Eri teased.

"I sure would." Chiki retorted. "Just like you would be exited for a shoe sale."

"Hey! Those were some quality boots!" Eri said while Chiki giggled.

"We've got 2 new students today, according to what's going around." Wataru said, not realizing that he interrupted the conversation.

Eri's attention turned immediately to Wataru's, much to Chiki's dismay. Chiki sighed.

"Are they boys or girls?" Chiki asked; all traces of excitement from her gone.

"They're boys. They're twins actually."

"Are they hot!" Eri asked excitedly.

"Um….I don't exactly know how to answer that question." Wataru said embarrassed.

As the teacher walked in, the class became silent. "We have two new students joining us today." He said. "Hayashi-kuns. Come in."

"Huh, I guess the rumor mill prevails today." Chiki turned and whispered to Eri. But Eri wasn't paying attention. She stared with her mouth gapped open in shock. Wow, Chiki thought. They must be really hot to have her like this. Then she turned around, and fell out of her seat in shock. There was a lot of 'Are you ok?' and 'What happened to you?'

"I-I'm fine." Chiki managed to sputter. She took her seat. She stared at Re and Flect. Flect was busy reading a book he had brought along with. But Re was staring right back, smiling. Chiki dropped her head on the desk. This was going to be a long school year.

"Can you tell your names?" The teacher asked.

"My name's Rei Hayashi." Re said.

"Kaoru Hayashi." Flect said simply.

"Where would you two like to sit?" There were immediate calls of 'sit here!' and 'over here!' from 41% of the class. All of them being girls. Chiki and Eri kept silent.

"Wherever you put me is fine by me." Flect said. There was a synchronized swoon of the girls excluding two. Re had other plans.

"I would like to sit there." He said with a smirk. Cue the swooning. "Next to Chiki." He added, pointed to the seat next to Chiki. Chiki's head snapped to attention. She looked to see an empty seat next to her. There was a series of gasps and sad sighs.

"Do they know each other?"

"Why Chiki?"

"She's so lucky."

"What do you think their history is together?"

Chiki looked to Eri. If anyone could stop this, it was her. When Eri gave her the nod of approval, Chiki breathed a sigh of relief. Now, what to do about Re and Flect. As Re sat down, he said, "Oh hello Chiki, it's nice to see you again. How long has it been?"

"Are you trying to die!" she hissed quietly as there was yet again a series of gasps.

"So they do know each other!"

"I'm not feeling well sensei." Chiki said bitterly. "May I go to the nurse?" Just then, Re put him hand on both their foreheads.

"Really?" He said. "You feel alright to me. Well, except that you're face is red." Oh he is definitely going to die today. She thought, as she glared at him.

"Never mind…" Chiki murmured. In the middle of the lesson Re whispered "Don't worry, we're off the clock."

"We will be reviewing everything we have gone over so far for the sake of our new students." The teacher said. "Let's start off easy. What is the capital of Japan?"

"Tokyo." Chiki said. It was nice to actually work on something for once.

"What do Geisha's wear?"

"Geisha always wear beautiful, elaborate, and expensive kimono that are 'tied' at the middle with a thick sash-like cloth called an obi." Flect answered, not taking his eyes off of his book. Chiki raised an eyebrow. Ok…..that was weird. She shook it off.

"What are the four main islands of Japan?"

"Hokkaido, Honshu-" Chiki started.

"Shikoku and Kyushu." Flect finished. There were murmurs across the class. Chiki and Flect looked at each other. You could practically feel the lightning in their eyes meeting at a stalemate.

"If that's how it is…" Flect started with a smirk.

"….then let's get started." Chiki finished with a sneer.

For the rest of class, it went on like this until class was declared over. Chiki took a breath and leaned back.

"Ah, nothing like a little competition to relieve some stress." She sighed. Wataru walked over to their desk.

"Nice one Chiki." He said. "You were awesome out there."

Chiki turned a bright shade of red and her head tilted ever-so-slightly to the right.

"O-oh well, I- err-it was nothing…" She stammered. There was suddenly a hand rest on her head.

"Well you know Chiki," Re said. "She's a Brainiac." Get off my head. Chiki thought. "Care to introduce us?" He asked.

"And why would I do that?" Chiki asked. Eri grabbed Chiki's head and hissed into her ear, "Because they can make our Job as Pretty Cure a whole lot harder that's why!"

She sighed. "Oh…..right…." Chiki cleared her throat.

"Misaki-sama, this is Re-err-Rei. Rei, this is Wataru Misaki."

"Wow," Wataru said. "Already on a first name basis I see." His eyebrow did the slightest twitch and smiled at Re and held out his hand. "It's nice to meet you."

Re smirked and took the outstretched hand. "We sure are." He said. "And it's nice to meet you too."

They never let go of each other's hand and kept staring at each other. Chiki pulled Eri aside and asked, "Are they…glaring at each other?"

Eri took a long look at them. "I think they are." She gave Chiki a mischievous smile. "Over you maybe?"

"No." Chiki said bluntly while Eri nudged her.

Chiki felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Re. "Can I talk to you for a sec?" He asked.

"Of course you can!" Eri said before Chiki could object. She pushed them away. Re sat down at a desk while Chiki stood up.

"This whole school thing wasn't my idea." Re said as Chiki glared at Eri.

"Then whose was it?" Chiki said folding her arms.

"Flect. He said we need to blend in more and to not look like complete strangers on the streets or some other junk like that. When I found out it was your school, I just stopped objecting." Chiki remembered something.

"What the heck does off the clock mean?"

"It means we're not being dream capturers during school hours. Another one of Flect's rules." Re actually looked angry at this. Chiki raised an eyebrow.

"If you think I'm going to buy that for one second then you've-"

"Hey…..Minamimoto-chan." Wataru called, making Re slightly irritated.

"My sister's birthday is coming up and since you're, well, a girl and all-"

"Flattering." Re cut off. Chiki elbowed Re in the side. Wataru shot a warning look at Re when Chiki wasn't looking. Re laughed it off.

Wataru continued "I was wondering if you and Eri could help me-" Wataru was cut off once again by a large rustling noise in his bag.

"Darn it all." He hissed as he grabbed the bag and was starting to leave the room. He turned to a surprised Chiki. "I'm sorry, but I have to go."

"Oh…well ok." Chiki said brightly. When he left, Chiki tilted her head down so that her bangs covered her eyes. She let out a quiet sigh.

"Chiki…" Eri comforted her friend. Chiki looked up; a happy face was upon her. She smiled at a surprised Eri.

"Don't worry Eri-Chan." Chiki said laughing. She always called her Eri-Chan when she played around. "Everything is fine. Besides, he only wanted us for his sister's birthday decorations or something in that nature." She walked out of the classroom.

"Chikako…." Eri said to herself. "You only play around when you're sad…"

All of a sudden, Re walked out of the room. Flect, who no one noticed was in the room, sighed and walked out and waved goodbye to a terrified Eri.

"How long was he here!" Eri yelled.

Eye catch: Chiki running down the steps when she trips over Vanilla and lands face-first on the floor

Eye catch 2: Eri running down the steps then tripping on her own feet and landing butt-first on Chiki.

Wataru ran out of the class and turned the corner and opened his bag.

"Could you have picked any other horrible time to wake up Coffee!" Wataru yelled at his opened bag.

The bag yawned and out came a caramel colored "dog-like" creature with a green stripe on both of its ears.

"I can't help but panic if I wake up and find myself in a dark place-coffee." Coffee retorted. He was beside a yellow hand mirror.

"Weren't you with my sister?"

"Yes but we we're playing hide and seek and…well…I fell asleep-coffee."

"Couldn't you fall asleep somewhere else!" Wataru did a face-palm. There was a hand that lifted a frantic Coffee from Wataru's bag. He looked up to see Rei's nonchalant face looking slowly from him to Coffee.

"Don't tell me…." Rei smirked as he lifted the hand mirror from his bag. "You're Pretty Cure?"

"How do you know about Pretty Cure-coffee!" Coffee yelled, still squirming in his grasp.

"He's not mine." Wataru said. "Not that it's any of your business, but my sister found him."

"How stupid do you think I am?" Rei said. "Why would he be in your bag then?"

Wataru sighed. "He and my sister were playing hide and-"

"That's nice." Rei interrupted. "So you ditched Chiki because this….thing started to make a ruckus?"

"I didn't ditch her!" Wataru yelled, obviously annoyed. "How the-" He cleared his throat so that he wouldn't swear. "How the heck was I supposed to explain to her that a stuffed dog that my sister found a week ago can walk and talk but apparently can't keep itself hidden? She'll be freaked for sure."

Rei sniggered to himself. "Oh the irony."

"What are you talking about?" Wataru urged.

"Oh nothing." Rei sneered. Just that she really won't be surprised because she's already been there.

"You know something that I don't, you do don't you?"

"There are a lot of things that I know and you don't. You want me to name a few?"

Wataru snapped. He pinned Rei to the wall. "I mean about Chiki and Eri!" Rei laughed at being pinned to the wall.

"Who do you think you are?" He said as he turned and pinned Wataru to the wall.

"Why should I tell you anything?" Rei whispered. Wataru struggled to break free, but his grip was too strong. Coffee, scared for his life, ran away.

Rei finally let go, letting Wataru rub his arm. He looked around for Coffee.

"I have to find him." Wataru mumbled, rubbing the back of his head. "Aiko will kill me if I don't."

He headed out of the school door.

Chiki, with Vanilla in her bag, walked down to their favorite éclair shop.

"Chiki…..are you alright-vani?" Vanilla asked. Eri had told her everything. She tried to see into her eyes, but they were blocked by her bangs.

"I'm fine Vanilla." She replied. "I wish everyone would stop worrying about me." then she mumbled quietly to herself, "It's not like I'm actually worth it"

But Vanilla managed to hear her. "You are worth it-vani!" She yelled

Chiki smiled a little. "Thanks Vanilla, but sympathy isn't needed."

Her further thoughts were interrupted by a loud wailing coming from behind them. Chiki looked at a small dog-like creature. Chiki looked to Vanilla.

"Is that another fairy guardian?" She asked. She nodded then jumped out of Chiki's knapsack to confront it.

"Coffee-vani!" Vanilla yelled.

"Vanilla-coffee!" Coffee yelled back. They ran and hugged. Luckily, there wasn't anyone there within looking or hearing distance.

"Where were you-coffee!" He asked.

"We all were separated in order to find our partners faster-vani." Vanilla answered.

"Why are you here now?" Chiki said, cutting into their reunion.

"My Master's brother was assaulted-coffee!" Coffee cried.

Chiki knelt down to pick both of the fairies up. "Can you tell me exactly what happened?" She asked softly. Coffee stared at her. She was the nicest person he had ever met….well, an extremely close second to Aiko. Coffee spilled everything. Everything from the misunderstanding to his Master's identity, to him running here.

"WATARU IS PRETTY CURE!" Chiki gasped.

"No-coffee!" Coffee yelled. "It is my Master-coffee! She has already transformed before-coffee."

Chiki pondered on this for a moment. "So….there is a third Pretty Cure, huh, how 'bout that?"

"Minamimoto-chan!" Chiki didn't turn around; she instead walked away.

Like I'd wanna see his face again, she thought as she kept walking. Wataru put his hand on her shoulder to turn her around.

"Minamimoto-chan." He said. "That brown stuffed animal you have there; did it-"

"Walk, talk, and tell me how you picked a fight for petty reasons, and that you're sister is Pretty Cure? Why yes, yes he did." Chiki said as she smiled and said, "Isn't that right Vanilla?" to her stuffed animal that she was also carrying who also nodded it's head and said, "Right Chiki!"

Wataru didn't know what to say at this point. All he could utter was:

"But you…..and how…but he…the irony….." He said as he realized what Rei had meant.

"So that's what Rei meant." Wataru mumbled.

"Hey! Joy!" Chiki was turned by a mirror under her feet to see Kagami running over to her. The middle school kid's classes have ended so there were a lot of children. Wataru immediately caught Kagami's eye.

"Joy, wanna introduce me to your…friend?" She said with a wink toward Wataru.

"Um and why would I-" Chiki started, but the way Kagami smiled and summoned a mirror behind Wataru just seemed like a very convincing answer.

Chiki thought for a second, and then cleared her throat. "M-Misaki-sama, this is Kagami. Kagami….Wataru Misaki." Kagami smiled brightly. Oh, this isn't going to end well, Chiki thought.

Kagami gave an amused smile and came up close to his breathing space. "Hi there…Wata-san." She mused. Chiki noticed that it was the exact same thing that Re and Flect did when they met her and Eri.

Only Kagami had a more…different approach. "Let's play a game, shall we?" She said as she summoned a small mirror.

"Not a chance." Chiki said bluntly. This shocked Kagami.

"Why not!" She complained. She had always thought that Chiki was too shy to talk. This was correct in most cases, but Chiki had had enough of Kagami's foolery. Plus, she had a plan.

"I've had just about enough of you, that's why." Chiki said, adding on to the surprise. "Re and Flect I can handle. You, I refuse to try to learn. Eri was right. You are kind of a brat."

Kagami had yet again a look of pure rage in her eyes. Chiki sighed. She handed Vanilla and Coffee to Wataru and took out her hand mirror.

"Misaki." Chiki said calmly.

"Yea?"

"Run."

That single word that she had said had made Wataru make a bolt from the area with her bag and the fairies.

Kagami took a deep, calming breath before summoning several mirrors and putting them to the back of every child in the vicinity. She summoned one more mirror in front of her and a silver orb which she launched into to mirror. The orb came out of every mirror, causing a blinding light.

"Actor, dancer, poet, baseball player, airline pilot….there are just too many of them to count. I'll help with them all!" Kagami breathed, glaring and smiling at Chiki. When the light faded, several False Cures were standing lifeless.

"What are your names!" Kagami yelled. An explosion of noise assaulted Chiki's ears when they answered. Kagami smirked and summoned one more mirror. She positioned it to see everything in the surrounding area

"Have fun Joy!" She said, and then vanished to a nearby building. Chiki sighed once again. It had to happen sooner or later. And she was glad to have that off her chest. What Kagami didn't know is that it was part of her strategy. Taking out her mirror, she yelled:

"Pretty Cure, reflect!"

Eri Fugioka chowed down on an éclair in her and Chiki's favorite sweets shop. She wasn't going to get tricked again. She was on her second bite if her third éclair when she heard a chorus of thundering voices. She looked out of the window to see several False Cures surrounding Chiki and Kagami smiling before she disappeared.

"Chiki you idiot. You provoked her didn't you? Well, I guess it had to happen sometime." As she ran out the door, she found herself surrounded by False Cures.

"There aren't several of you," Eri said to herself. "It's like a whole school of you!" She smirked as she held up her mirror. "Finally, a challenge. Pretty Cure, reflect!"

Cheer punched and kicked her way to Joy's side.

The duo reflection of purifying negativity! We are Fortune! Pretty Cure! Joy would've groaned, but she had other things on her mind.

Joy who, on her own, did quite well. Joy mumbled to herself while fighting.

"If I trip her up here…" she murmured, tripping a cure, and then punching her to several others, causing them to fall. She smirked. "Then that'll cause a domino effect." Cheer leaped into the air and took aim.

"Pretty Cure….Cheer shoot!" She yelled as her attack hit most of the Cures. The only problem was that it only trapped one of them.

"Only one per attack!" She looked to Joy and they both nodded and Joy leaped beside her. They aimed, held hands and yelled:

"Pretty Cure….ace healing!" Their attack only trapped a separate group of about 12 of them.

"We can't purify because we don't have time to put everyone in a safe place." Joy hissed when they landed and let them go.

"Then how are we supposed to do this!" Cheer groaned.

"I'll help you out!" They turned to see a girl in an amber minidress with a yellow long sleeved zip-up jacket which baggy sleeves only showed her fingers. She had short blonde hair and a barrette pinning up her bangs. Her maize eyes glistened as she rode a giant hand mirror through the sky. The girl had yellow ankle socks and tennis shoes. The wind almost made her lose the beret with a yellow jewel she was wearing. She grinned excitedly at the girl and yelled:

The reflection of cheer and prosperity in your life! Cure Hope!

Hope jumped down and the mirror returned to normal size. She grabbed it and spread her hands, which made the mirror multiply into many more. Hope then used the mirrors to surround all of the False Cures into one big circle. A yellow mirror appeared before Joy and Cheer.

"Wow." Cheer said amazed. "All that while in the air." Kagami looked pale then. T-those are my moves… she thought.

They seemed to understand. Once again they held hands and aimed for the mirror.

"Let this work…" They said at the same time. "Pretty Cure….ace healing!" the purple beam shot into the mirror, but did nothing. Hope smiled.

"Let all the sadness and sorrows melt away in one fell swoop!" Hope roared. "Pretty Cure…..Hope cannon!" At once, glowing mocha colored needles came out of each mirror pointed at the False Cures, encasing them in bubbles. That was some magic. All three girls grinned.

"Purify!" they yelled, and many images of happy faces flashed through the air. Mimicry mirrors were drawing to each True Cure. They heard laughing from above. It was Kagami.

"That was the most fun I'd ever seen!" She cheered. "Let's have some more." She suddenly felt a hand tugging on her shirt. A small girl who looked about six or seven with an orange long sleeved shirt that was too big for her, olive green shorts that peek under, and short black hair with a silver and white streak in it.

"Kemuri!" Kagami yelled in excitement as she picked the already floating girl and hugged her tightly. "When did you get to Earth? I could show you around if you want." Kemuri simply shook her head.

"Let's go home." She said almost inaudibly. She then looked down at the Cures. Chiki noticed that there was a glimmer in her eye. A glimmer of sadness. Chiki raised an eyebrow when they vanished.

When they reverted and gathered each mirror, they went to Eri's house to count them all.

"I've got 20." Chiki said.

"13 over here." Eri announced. Seven year old Aiko Misaki counted all of her mirrors.

"I have 17." She called. Chiki cooed. She loved little kids.

"So that makes 50." Eri said bluntly, breaking Chiki's thoughts. "Was this your plan?"

Chiki smiled. "Yep. Get Kagami mad enough for us to have an abundance of mirrors."

"Wow." Aiko squealed and hugged Chiki. "You're really smart!" Chiki was well on her way to becoming a puddle and succumbing to the cuteness. But just then, something caught Aiko's eye. It was a beautiful one shoulder purple dress with a bow on the side.

"Is that for the high school lowerclassmen formal?" She asked. When Eri nodded, Aiko looked to Chiki. "Where's yours?"

Chiki shook her head. "Dances aren't my style…"She looked miserable for a split second. Aiko didn't believe any of it. She picked her yellow mirror up, pointed it at Chiki, and said, "Show me your feelings." An image of Chiki came up on the mirror.

"I really want to go…" She said sadly. "But I can't dance and no one would ask me. Plus-" Chiki covered the mirror before it could say anymore. Aiko was from turning adorable to conniving.

"It's a mirror trick I learned from Coffee." She said. "I and he can use it as many times as we want because we're magically talented. You could too but not for very long." She was suddenly hit with a pillow. They both turned to see a slightly annoyed sleeping Eri. Chiki giggled.

"I'll teach you guys more tomorrow." Aiko whispered. And with that, they all went to sleep.

Chiki: We have a new enemy!

Eri: Great. More Kagami's to deal with.

Chiki: No not that! In school!

Kemuri: Someone better teach that girl a lesson…

Both: Next time! Ichigo's relentless attack!

Chiki: She's after blood, I know that much.

Aiko: Don't worry! We'll see you there!
