"Oh wow!" I exclaimed as I stared at the magnificent buildings. My friends and I had travelled to Tokyo for an important event, and we had finally arrived. "Coming to Tokyo, the capital of Japan… this is fun!"

"I still can't believe that the four of us were chosen to perform in the Tokyo Special Live," Kiyomi said with wonder. "It's a super amazing show, which features the performances of many famous Japanese idols. And even popular idols from Yumesaki Academy can perform as well!"

"I'm so excited," I said happily, and Hitomi, Kiyomi and Kotone agreed. "It's just too bad that Asami-chan couldn't come though." I muttered.

"Just remember, girls," Cadence said as she flew up to us. "That in case a Namida attacks, you need to be ready."

"Would we be allowed to take breaks from Pretty Cure?" I asked hopefully, but Cadence refused and explained that "justice never sleeps".

I groaned, and as Hitomi began talking about how wonderful it would be if there were other Pretty Cures, I saw something that caught my eye, and I began to follow it. When I finally looked up, I realised that I had strayed away from the others!

"Oh no," I panicked, fear wrapping around me like a blanket. What am I supposed to do? I thought hurriedly as I looked around for some help.

"Are you lost?" A voice asked behind me. I spun around, and I saw a girl smiling at me. She was around my age, and had short golden blonde hair with some of it tied up into a bun on the side of her head, and purple eyes, kind of like mine. Her clothes were really cute, and I thought that this girl could've passed for an idol.

"I've actually never been to Tokyo before," I answered, laughing nervously.

The girl nodded. "Neither have I," she admitted. I kept staring at her. I realised she was lost like me, but it was a mystery how she kept that bright smile on her face. Definitely idol material, I thought.

Just then, the girl leaned closer to me and got a good look at me. "Hey, I know you!" She exclaimed. "You're Aihara Utau! Oh wow, a real idol from Yumesaki Academy!"

I felt my face go slightly red, and I bowed politely. "Thank you very much," I said. "I'm Aihara Utau, but you already know that, obviously."

The girl smiled at me. "I'm Asahina Mirai," she announced. "Now, I'll help you look for your friends, 'cause it's obvious that you're lost too, on the condition that you help me look for my friends."

I nodded, and we shook hands. Asahina Mirai, I thought. That's definitely a good name for an idol.

"I watched your first performance on TV," Mirai told me. "I was blown away by it, and I instantly became a fan!"

She kept saying how cool my performance was, when suddenly, two other girls ran up to us. One girl had long dark purple hair with some of it tied up into a ponytail, and magenta eyes. The other had long pink hair the same length as the other girl's, and turquoise eyes. I kept staring at these two. They were both quite pretty, and I thought they would have been good idols as well.

"Honestly, Mirai," the girl with purple hair chided. "You shouldn't have wandered off like that! Do you have any idea how worried we were?"

I kept watching as the purple girl kept scolding Mirai, and after the whole lecture, Mirai smiled at me. "I totally forgot," she said. "Aihara-san, these are my two best friends, Izayoi Riko -" she pointed to the purple girl. "- and Hanami Kotoha." She pointed to the pink girl.

Mirai then turned to the purple girl, whose name was Riko. "You won't believe this, Riko!" She said excitedly. "Aihara-san is a student from Yumesaki Academy, the most famous school for idols. She's an actual idol!"

Riko's face turned red the minute she looked at me. "A real idol?" She stammered, and quickly bowed to me. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to be so rude!"

I shrugged. "S'okay," I smiled, waving it off. "It's in the past now. It doesn't matter at all."

"Hey, Aihara-san?" The pink girl, Kotoha, asked me, and I looked over at her. "Are you a Pretty Cure as well as an idol?"

I stared at Kotoha in shock. Did she just say what I think she just said? Mirai and Riko suddenly turned red, and began waving their hands. "Please be quiet, Ha-chan," Riko hissed.

Mirai laughed nervously. "Don't listen to Kotoha, Aihara-san," she said to me. "She sometimes doesn't know what she's talking about!"

"But she's got the aura of Pretty Cure!" Kotoha protested. "And I do know what I'm talking about."

"How did you know that?" I asked Kotoha in shock. "That I'm a Pretty Cure?"

Kotoha smiled as she shrugged. "I don't know," she admitted. "You've just got this aura around you. You see, everyone has an aura that reflects their personality, and you've got musical notes and microphones around yours, as well as pink crystals. But there's also a pink glow around you. Normal humans don't have it, but from what I've observed, only Pretty Cures have them. So maybe you're a Pretty Cure!"

"Are you actually?" Mirai asked me, looking at me closely. "A Pretty Cure, I mean. Are you really a Pretty Cure?"

I looked at Mirai and started to panic. "Don't tell anyone!" I quickly told her. She's going to tell someone, I thought instantly, and mentally scolded myself for thinking that.

To my surprise, Mirai began to laugh! "Don't worry, Utau-chan," she smiled. "I won't tell. Besides, Riko, Kotoha and I are Pretty Cures as well!"

My mind was completely blank with shock. "No way," I said. "You're actually Pretty Cures? Like me? Oh my god, Hitomi-senpai would be so surprised!"

Just then, there was a blur of light brown coming from Mirai's bag, and I saw that it was a teddy bear. "Hi, there!" The bear said (I was a little surprised at the bear talking). "My name's Mofurun!"

Just a little surprised, I shook Mofurun's paw. "Nice to meet you too, Mofurun," I smiled. You know, when you've been dealing with dark forces for even just a little while, you'll think that even a talking animal is normal compared to your experiences.

And that's when my own friends ran up. "Utau-san!" Kotone glared at me when they came to a stop. "Don't ever wander away like that! Do you have any idea how worried we were?"

"Hold the lecture, Kotone-senpai," I said, holding up a hand and beckoning Mirai, Riko and Kotoha forward. I smiled at Hitomi, Kiyomi and Kotone. "Girls, I want to introduce you to some people."

"What's going on, Utau-san?" Hitomi asked. "I think I speak for all of us when I say I have no idea what you're doing."

I beamed at her. "Well, Hitomi-senpai," I began. "It turns out there really are more Pretty Cures out there, because my new friends are Pretty Cures too!"

I took note of Hitomi's shocked expression, but I kept talking. "Girls, this is Asahina Mirai, Izayoi Riko and Hanami Kotoha." Then I turned to Mirai, Riko and Kotoha. "Girls, meet my fellow idols, Umino Hitomi-senpai, Amaterasu Kiyomi and Murasaki Kotone-senpai."

Hitomi smiled happily. "My wish has been granted!" She laughed. "We're actually meeting more Pretty Cures! And we can call them senpai!"

"There are actually many more Pretty Cures out there," Riko explained, blushing from Hitomi's comment. "And according to Ha-chan -" (we didn't know who "Ha-chan" was, until Mirai pointed to Kotoha) "- every Cure somehow knows that the rookie idols from Yumesaki Academy are Pretty Cures too."

"How is that possible?" Kotone asked, and Kotoha shrugged.

(Meanwhile, an evil sorceress was shown in a dark cave, waving her hands over a crystal ball. Inside the crystal ball, she could see the images of the Mahou Tsukai and Idol Star Cures together.

"In order to complete my dark magic," the sorceress began, a wicked gleam appearing in her eyes. "I must have the beautiful and powerful voices of Pretty Cure. But how can I do that?"

The sorceress smiled evilly. "I have just the idea," she told herself. "I will set up a trap, a trap that consists of song and dance." The sorceress, pleased with her idea, began laughing evilly.)

(Later, Mirai, Riko and Kotoha were sitting in the audience, waiting for the Tokyo Special Live to begin. Just then, four girls walked up to the Mahou Tsukai Cures, and the seven girls seemed to recognise each other.

"When's the show going to begin?" One girl, Haruno Haruka, asked. She had auburn hair with some of it tied up in a puffy bun and the rest left to hang just above her shoulders. She also had turquoise eyes and was wearing a pink dress.

Mirai smiled at Haruka, happy to see her friend. "It should be starting soon, Haruka-chan," Mirai explained, and Haruka's face turned into a look of pure excitement.

"Hey, is it true?" Someone said. The seven girls turned around and saw Aino Megumi of the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure team beaming at them. "Are the rookie idols really Pretty Cures too?"

"They sure are!" Mirai confirmed, and Megumi and Haruka both squealed happily.)

Meanwhile, my friends and I were backstage and were waiting for the show to begin. Cadence was just telling us to do our best, when a girl entered the room. She had purple eyes and short purple hair and a hair clip. I recognised the girl immediately.

"Oh my goodness!" I squealed. "You… You're Kenzaki Makoto, one of Japan's most famous idols! I can't believe I'm meeting you at last!"

"It's pretty cool," Kiyomi began. "To be a famous idol without ever going to Yumesaki Academy. You've got some real talent."

"Thank you very much," Makoto said, and I thought I was going to die of happiness. I mean, standing right in front of me was one of my favourite idols!

"You must be a Pretty Cure, like us," Hitomi said, interested. "Do you perhaps know where the other senpai Cures are?"

Makoto smiled. "They're waiting in the audience," she explained. "But they mainly just came to see the newbie Cures, and that's the four of you, right?"

We nodded, and Makoto smiled again. "Good luck, girls!" She told us, and then walked out of the dressing room.

"I can't believe it," I sighed. "The real MakoPi actually talked to us! I admired her for a long time before deciding to become an idol."

Suddenly, there was a scream coming from outside. The four of us had the same thought - save the people. We quickly ran to the stage, and to our shock, there was a huge portal! And suddenly, we plus a lot of girls (I'm gonna guess they were our senpai Pretty Cures) were sucked into the portal!

When we finally landed, I found myself at a different concert. "Where are we?" I murmured, and I looked around at all the girls. I was shocked at how many Cures there were, and they were all extremely beautiful.

That's when I heard another scream. Every head turned around to see a girl panicking. She had wavy navy blue hair and the same coloured eyes, and her clothes were mainly blue.

"Where the heck are we?" The girl cried, and I saw some people smile at her panicking, as well as some others trying not to laugh. I saw another girl with scarlet pink hair and same coloured eyes try to calm the first girl down.

"Who are they?" I asked Mirai, and she told me that they were Kurumi Erika and Hanasaki Tsubomi of the HeartCatch team, and apparently Erika was panicking again.

"Where are we?" I heard another girl asked. The girl had shoulder-length magenta hair with most of it tied up into twin tails, and her clothes were mainly pink. Mirai told me that this girl was Yumehara Nozomi of the Yes! 5 team.

"Isn't it obvious?" A fourth girl said. She had long orange hair with her hair done in a similar style to Nozomi's, and she wore black and pink. Mirai told me that this girl was Hojo Hibiki of the Suite team. "We're at a concert!"

"Welcome, Pretty Cure All Stars!" A new voice boomed. We all spun around and saw a young woman holding a microphone walk onto the stage. She had long light brown hair in a hime cut and light brown eyes, and wore a medieval-style black, purple and pink dress. "Welcome to the Stage of Dreams, where each of you can show off your singing talent! I am your host, Tristesse!"

Tristesse then waved a palm card. "The first Pretty Cure team to perform will be none other than the Max Heart team!"

"I don't believe this," I heard someone say. I spun around, and saw this really pretty girl, probably about fifteen, turning red. She had short orange hair and brown eyes and mainly wore pink and black. Mirai told me that this girl was Misumi Nagisa of the Max Heart team. "I'm no good at performances."

"Remember the Spring Carnival, Nagisa-chan," the auburn-haired Haruno Haruka of the Go! Princess team chirped. "You guys did really well at it."

Nagisa stopped blushing, and smiled mischievously. "Alright then!" She said, and stood up. She beckoned to the two girls sitting next to her, and the three girls ran to the stage. They then transformed into their Cure forms, and began performing a song called "GO GO GO by Max Heart!". It was so energetic and bouncy and I couldn't help dancing along. I have to say, all three girls had great voices.

(After the performance, the three Max Heart girls (now in civilian form) went backstage, where Tristesse was waiting for them.

"That was an amazing performance!" Tristesse smiled. "It was absolutely fabulous! I expected no less from the Max Heart team!"

"Thank you, ma'am," Nagisa said politely, but took note of the nauseous feeling that was growing inside her. She felt sick, and knew something was wrong.

"The whole reason I set up this concert," Tristesse continued, with Nagisa growing paler by the second and Honoka and Hikari also realising that something was wrong. "Was that I needed the beautiful and powerful voices of Pretty Cure, and so, if you don't mind…"

Tristesse then held up a bottle and took off the lid, and suddenly, a strange purple mist surrounded the girls, and they tried to call for help, but couldn't, as they realised their voices were gone! And not only that, but so was their energy! As Nagisa, Honoka and Hikari fell to the ground, unconscious, Tristesse smiled evilly and snapped her fingers. The ground beneath the girls opened up, and they fell straight through.

"Please, everyone," Tristesse said, looking at the audience (which is us). "Don't tell the Pretty Cure All Stars what happened. They're going to find out one by one.")
