It was just another slow day at Flower Shop Maho-Dou. The Ojamajos were just about ready to close up shop.
"Another day without too much business again." said Aiko.
Hazuki flipped the store sign to "Closed" and went back to the counter "You can say that again, Ai-chan. I should probably get home..."
Just as the girls were about to leave, an envelope slipped out of the closet. Everyone turned around and ran to it. Doremi picked it up. She ripped it open and read the letter inside "It's from the Queen! She wants us to come to the palace!"
"I wonder what she wants you for." said Lala.
Pretty soon our heroes were in Majokai. They flew off to the palace and met up with the Queen. She looked very worried "Girls, I have called you here because of an important task."
"What is it?"
"The royal maid, Majolene, has gone missing. I sent her to the cellar to fetch me some herbs but she never came back out, and I have no clue how she would have disappeared."
"We'll find her." perked up Doremi "When I was young, I was a pro at hide-and-seek!"
Aiko rolled her eyes "Doremi-chan, I remember that you'd always bump into trees while counting."
"That's not important right now!"
The four girls crept into the cellar. It was cold and dusty. They started to look for Majolene. Onpu looked around and noticed shards of glass scattered all over the floor near some crates. She bent down to examine it "Hey, Doremi-chan! Hazuki-c han! Ai-chan! You better come and look at this."
The girls ran over and looked at where Onpu was pointing. There stood an odd mirror.
"This is a weird-lookin' mirror." said Aiko.
Hazuki touched the edges "It feels old." She reached for the glass "Even this-"
Hazuki stopped talking as her hand went straight through the glass! It instantly recoiled. She just stared at her hand, shocked.
"What just happened?" asked Onpu.
"M-m-m-my h-h-and w-w-ent through the g-g-g-g-g-g-g-lass!"
Aiko stuck her hand through the glass "It's perfectly safe. C'mon, let's see what's on the other side!" Before anyone could say anything, Aiko jumped into the mirror, and was gone. Everyone else followed, except for Hazuki. She just stood in the cellar, petrified "I'd rather stay here than face whatever could be lurking in that thing!"
Just then, Doremi's hand popped out, grabbed Hazuki, and pulled her in.
