Ch 2
Queen Chocolat showed the girls to the Big Pot.
A worried Cerise started to say, "But it's so sca-AAAAH!" Peppermint pushed her off the cliff! The friends landed in the magma, Cerise crying and Peppermint shouting, "Yahoo! We-OH NO! WE'RE IN THE HUMAN SKY! WE'RE GONNA DIE! "Cerise nodded, still crying. Suddenly, the wind picked up-and the girls were blown inside a house! They landed on soft chairs. Cerise whispered, "Where are we?" Peppermint saw a tall purple-haired man with a guitar. "Who are you?" The man said, "I am ROCKIN' ROBIN, AN EPIC SUPERSTAR! YEAH!" He sat down on another seat. "This will be your house for the Queen Exam. Do you lovely ladies have heart catchers?" Peppermint said, "Yeah! Mine's an indigo and opal diamond." Cerise wiped her eyes and said, "Mine's a heart." Robin nodded."Very well; you know what hearts are, right?" Peppermint stood up."Yeah! When one has an emotion, a secret heart jewel pops up, and it is worth some ecure, but the black ones are bad." Robin nodded, and snapped a finger. "Settle down, girls." A glass of sparkling water filled itself for Robin, and two glasses of pineapple juice filled for the girls. They drank and then Robin said, "Time to sleep, girls. Go to your rooms. I got them cleaned with magic." The girls went to bed.
The next morning, Robin took the girls to Moegi Gakuen Private School. He walked into the office. "Hello, babies!" The lady teachers' hearts appeared. Orange, some pink, a few purple, and even one red."Robin-samaaa!" they chattered. Robin whispered, "Watch, girls. Extase Tentation! Give your hearts to me!" And they flew into his ring. A tall lady with brown hair and eyes went to us. "Hello. My name is Mitsuki Shiratori, and I will be their teacher. Their mothers, Kato-san and Ice-san, were my friends. I'll take them to class. I'll check their paperwork real quick." When she left, Robin said, "You girls are Peppermint Ice and Cerise Kato. Got it?"
In class, Shiratori-sensei said, "Kato-san, Ice-san, please introduce yourselves." Peppermint walked up to the front of class. "Hi everyone. I'm Peppermint Ice. Don't be mean to me or my friend! You want to make something of it?" That was her catchphrase, like Chocolat's was "whup your butt." The boys murmured, "She sure is cute, but she's so scary!" No hearts showed up. "Okay, Kato-san, please introduce yourself." Cerise shyly walked up to the front. There were tears in her eyes. Scared, she almost sobbed, "Hi, I transferred here." She looked down. "I'm Cerise Kato." The boys murmured, "She's really cute!" Many orange hearts showed up. Cerise did not take them. The teacher said, "Okay, Ice-san, Kato-san, please choose seats." They sat next to each other. Behind Peppermint was a trio of girls. Peppermint turned around. "Friends?" she whispered. They nodded and smiled, hearts green. Peppermint put her hands to her pendant. "Sugar sugar rune! Peppe rune!" Her opal and indigo witch uniform appeared on her. "Wand!" Her wand dropped from the sky, and she caught it. "Your hearts…are now mine!" The 1050 ecure from green hearts shot into her pendant, and she transformed into her school uniform again. The teacher said, "Okay, children. Let us continue with the lesson, shall we?"
At break, many boys crowded around Cerise. "Where do you live, Kato-san?" "What is your favorite candy, Cerise-chan? " And poor Peppermint sat unpopular among the boys, but had the human girl friends. One was named Taiji Suki. Her dad, Taiji Sugiyama, had went to the Moegi as a boy and liked to play soccer with Chocolat Kato! Vanilla Ice was a shy girl. The second girl was a beautiful blond. Her name was Jun Miyu. Her dad, Jun Mimura, had also gone to the Moegi. The third girl was quite sweet and shy, like Cerise and Vanilla. Her name was Shiratori Yanagi. Her mom, Shiratori Mitsuki-sensei, was the teacher!
"Anyway, Ice-san," said Shiratori Yanagi. "My mom said that your mom, Vanilla Ice-san, was super popular." Peppermint looked down grimly because she herself was unpopular, but looked back up happily. "I know, Yanagi. Just call me Peppermint!" Miyu said, "Peppermint, we like the punch-line!" Suki giggled, "You want to make something of it?" The girls made friends. Cerise grew very popular the whole day but took no hearts.
At home, Robin appeared with a poof of mist. Red, purple, pink, and orange hearts literally started to rain. "Mademoiselles, look at all the hearts I picked up at my Rockin' Robin Deluxe Edition Concert!" he boomed. Then, he snapped a finger, and an ecure scale appeared. "Now, I present…the results!" Peppermint was ahead in ecure! She cheered. Cerise smiled at her, happy for her friend's success.
That night, Peppermint and Cerise bathed and put on their pajamas. Cerise said, "No matter who wins…" Peppermint beamed. "We'll always be best friends!" And they went to bed happily.
