"Yet another sunny day.." Sensaina exhaled. She, Jonetsu and Haruko were taking a walk coincidentally nearby Midorikage.
"To think summer's nearly over," Haruko said as she stretched her hands out.
"About three weeks left, Haruko. No need to worry now." Jonetsu pointed out," Plus we did have a pretty good summer."
"I suppose," Haruko responded. Jonetsu wasn't listening to her but to the nearby chatter that seemed to be coming from the school.
"Do you hear that?" Jonetsu asked. The girls looked at her in confusion for a moment and then decided to listen in. They heard voices that belonged to their classmates coming from the school's campus.
"Let's go check it out!" Haruko cheered, latching her hands to Jonetsu and Sensaina's wrist. They walked on to the campus, amazed with what they discovered.
"Woah, what's on going on?" Haruko asked as the three of the walked around. There were booths set up with seemingly cheerful people behind them.
"Join the Magic club!" A familiar voice cheered. Kintsuki was running a booth and the girls walked up towards her.
"Kintsuki, what's going on?" Sensaina asked.
Kintsuki seemed shocked with Sensaina," You really don't know? It's club time!"
"Club time.." Jonetsu groaned as all the booths no longer intrigued her.
"Cool so you're running a Magic Club?" Haruko questioned.
"Sure am, Dad's going to be co-president and I'll drag a ton of people into my club!" Kintsuki winked.
"Guess we pick better a club soon.." Sensaina remarked. The girls walked around in the crowded environment looking around at all the clubs.
"Join the baking club!" One girl shouted.
"Join the archery club!" A boy shouted.
"Join the fashion club!" Another girl shouted.
"Join the Gamers' club!" Another boy shouted.
"This is all so overwhelming.." Sensaina whispered.
"Well, since everyone's making a club.." Jonetsu began," Let's establish our own club!"
"And what kind of club would we establish?" Haruko asked in a skeptical tone.
"A Pretty Cure club!" Jonetsu shouted. Sensaina and Haruko alarmingly shut Jonetsu's mouth as people stared at her in amusement.
"I'd join-desu!" Toki shouted, leaping from Haruko's bag. Haruko shoved Toki back into the bag.
"Alright, so a Pretty Cure club is out of the question," Sensaina concluded," But I like the idea of having an exclusive club of our own!"
"Well then, we'll create a club..at Sensaina's house!" Jonetsu declared.
"Why is it always my house?" Sensaina complained. Later then came to Sensaina's house and began to pitch ideas. They all seemed indecisive and equally uncooperative.
"So, what about a Love Club?" Jonetsu said in a playful tone even though she was serious about her idea.
"You've suggested that idea seven times and for the last time we're not making a Love Club!" Sensaina shouted impatiently. She looked down at the page in her hands where she wrote all of her ideas. They were all regretfully scratched out due to Jonetsu's and Haruko's complaints. She was still as stubborn as ever but soon she realized she'd have to cave in to an ingenious idea from either of the two other girls.
"I still think a Garden Club would be a great idea." Haruko stated.
Jonetsu put her head in her hands and moaned," There's already a Garden Club at school."
"Then why don't we all just join it?" Haruko snapped.
"Because not everyone here is such a 'great' botanist like yourself!" Jonetsu bunnyquoted.
"Are you bashing my gardening skills? Because it's not like your ability to matchmake is so great either!" Haruko barked.
"Guys, enough!" Sensaina screamed.
Haruko and Jonetsu were startle with Sensaina's abrupt outburst considering she never did yell in front of them.
"Forget it, I'm going home for the day." Haruko said bitterly as she swept Toki up into her arms and exited Sensaina's room.
"Well fine, Sensaina and I will just think of better club ideas without your stupid suggestions!" Jonetsu shouted.
"Jonetsu, I think you should go for the day too." Sensaina sighed.
"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow then." Jonetsu said in a huff as she left.
Sensaina snatched a pillow from her bed and groaned into it.
"Why is always like this with them?" Sensaina moaned.
"They'll come around-kore.." Doki said in a comforting tone.
Sensaina took her face out of the pillow," Probably but until then, I have to think of better ideas for them to agree on!" Sensaina filled herself up with false motivation and continued creating ideas that would be suitable for their club. Her ideas weren't getting any better and eventually she fell asleep on the table in front of her.
Minako eventually came into the girl's room," Miyako's making hot chocolate do you-?" Minako rolled her eyes and left the room, but not without slamming the door shut to wake up Sensaina.
"I fell asleep didn't I?" Sensaina groaned. She suddenly heard soft snoring coming from nearby.
"At least I wasn't alone," Sensaina smiled towards Doki. By the end of the night, Sensaina was somewhat pleased with her list. She put them away for tomorrow and hoped for the best reaction from her fellow Cures.
She went off to bed exhausted and ready for tomorrow.
The next day was dreary and the atmosphere gave an ominous feel. Sensaina stood outside her house with high hopes that her friends would come. Minutes passed, and eventually they came, but like the sky above them, they weren't at their best.
"I..I made a new list!" Sensaina said cheerfully. Jonetsu and Haruko both shot spiteful looks to Sensaina. Jonetsu grunted and snatched the list from her.
"The lovely lyrical club of botany?!" Jonetsu read in disgust.
"Lemme see" Haruko stealthily took the sheet away from her, "The Senetko?"
Sensaina gave a sheepish smile to her friends.
"I thought they sounded good," Sensaina defended.
"These are horrifying!" Haruko declared, readying herself to crumple the paper.
"Please don't! I'll try and think of better ones by tomorrow!" Sensaina begged.
"Forget it! I don't even want to be in a club with you two anymore!" Haruko yelled. She shoved the page in Sensaina's face and the twin tailed girl timidly took it back. Haruko and Jonetsu stormed off in opposite directions and as they were out of eyeshot, rain began to pour. Sensaina hung her head, ready to give up. She walked back into her house, her head already soaked.
A few hours later, Sensaina gained her motivation back which wasn't too unusual. Sensaina wasn't really the type to be down for too long, surprisingly.
"Alright!" Sensaina shouted confidently.
"Hm-kore?" Doki asked as her eyes flickered. She seemed to have taken another nap.
"I'll make a new list tonight!" Sensaina exclaimed.
"What will you do until then-kore?" Doki asked sleepily. It was only six thirty and the sun was beginning to set. The rain thankfully died down and the sun decided to emerge just before the moon would ascend.
"I guess I could take a walk." Sensaina suggested," Doki, would come you like to come with me?"
Doki was snoring away again.
"She can't say I didn't ask her." Sensaina stated as her mouth twitch.
She grabbed her bag and left.
"Guys I'm leaving!' Sensaina called out.
"Be back in an hour!" Her twin sisters chimed.
"We're making riceballs!" Miyako said.
"Hopefully they won't burn down the kitchen.." Sensaina said to herself. Chitsuki was on a business trip and left her irresponsible twins in charge.
Sensaina walked and admired the scenery around her. The sky was a breathtaking shade of magenta mixed with orange. There was a hesitant breeze that occasionally whisk her hair. Her stroll was pleasant up until she spotted her 'nemesis'.
"Please don't see me, please don't see me.." Sensaina chanted as she shut her eyes whilst taking small steps.
"Sensaina!" Ayane cried out.
"She saw me." Sensaina groaned. She walked up to Ayane and pretended she wasn't unhappy to see her.
"Do you live around here?" Ayane asked in her typical delightful tone. Sensaina was getting killed with kindness.
"Yeah sort of," Sensaina responded awkwardly," So are you indecisive about a club?"
"I'm in the dance club." Ayane replied neutrally," Can't pick a club?"
"No, that's not it. My friends and I want to be in a club together, but we can't pick a club we all like. We're all just too different from each other." Sensaina explained.
"Well isn't that a good thing?" Ayane said.
"Huh?" Sensaina asked.
"I just think, its better to have friends that are nothing like you." Ayane stated.
"Why?" Sensaina questioned.
"Because then you get to experience different people and personalities. And each of us need all of the experience we can get." Ayane explained," Oh, I have to go meet a friend so I'll talk to you later!"
"Experience." Sensaina repeated. Ayane's wise words weren't exactly enough to help Sensaina find a way to resolve her situation.
Sensaina continued to walk down the road. Her mind was cluttered with so many thoughts. Her friends complaints were getting to her and Ayane's words were also too complexing for her brain to handle. As Sensaina's train of thought went on she crashed down to the ground as she collided with someone. She heard a male's voice grumble.
"The only guy I've ever bumped into more than once is.." Sensaina said excitedly. Sensaina looked straightforward but didn't who she was expecting. Instead of Hideki, she saw a blond boy with what seemed to be a small mohawk wearing shorts and a blue t-shirt.
"Ugh," The boy moaned as he rubbed his head.
"I'm so sorry!" Sensaina squeaked. She attempted to help him up. As he came up,she realized he was a head taller than her. Sensaina felt somewhat afraid of this boy.
"Are...are you alright?" Sensaina asked timidly.
"I'm ok don't worry." The boy assured," But a better question would be, are you ok?"
"I-I-I'm fine.." Sensaina chirped. The boy seemed even more frightening close up.
"You don't sound alright." The boy stated.
"Don't worry, I'm just fine!" Sensaina assured. She attempted to run off but tripped on a crack in the road. She was about to fall face first in the cement, but then the boy caught her.
"Easy there." The boy said, placing Sensaina into his arms. Sensaina reddened. His arms were warm but not sweaty. His embrace wasn't too strong thankfully. Sensaina looked up towards him. His smile was sweet, like syrup and his eyes were a gleaming light blue.
"Um, what's your name?"He asked awkwardly.
"I'm Sensaina," She responded stiffly.
"Takami." The boy introduced.
Sensaina felt somewhat strange," Do you-"
"-Live around here?" Takami finished," No, I used to. I'm only here to clear-"
"Your mind? Same here." Sensaina grinned.
"Do you want to walk with me?"Takami asked.
"Sure." Sensaina said.
As they walk, Sensaina felt herself grow infatuated with Takami.
"How old are you?'' Sensaina asked suddenly.
"Fourteen." The boy responded. Sensaina's eyes widened with surprise.
"So, why are you clearing your mind?" Sensaina asked.
"Oh, its club time at Aotsuki and I am completely unsure of what club I want to join." Takami explained.
"What clubs do you want to join?" Sensaina asked curiously," Computer's club, Writer's club, not to mention my older brother wants me to join Drama club.
"Wow, I'm actually having the same dilemma." Sensaina said.
"Really?" Takami said.
"Well, my friends and I want to all join the same club, but we all can't decide on one." Sensaina explained.
"Well, if you are all really friends, you'd respect each others interests and join the clubs you want to join." Takami stated.
"Maybe..you're onto something." Sensaina said.
Takami smiled down to her, "Maybe."
Elsewhere, particularly Malevolent, Hirutaro seemed pleased before the Majors. It was an unsettling feeling amongst the Majors, considering Hirutaro wouldn't even smile in the first place.
Ignis was impatiently and impolite,"We're all here, now what do you want?" She obviously did not feel the inferiority complex between herself and Hirutaro, unlike the rest.
Hirutaro pelted a black shard at Ignis and she swiftly caught it. She glowered down to the object in her hands.
"What's this?" Ignis asked. Her fingers avoided the sharper ends of the shards. Hirutaro descended beside her.
"A present." He leaned towards her ear," From Hatred."
Ignis lit up. Hirutaro placed his hand before the shard and it shapeshifted into a form similar to her orange pendant. Ignis replaced her original pendant with the gift from Hatred.
"Don't get rid of your pendant just yet." Hirutaro advised.
"Hirutaro." Raika said. She opened up her palm and Hirutaro threw a shard to her.
Raika left the room but before she did Hirutaro said something to her.
"Don't disappoint me," Hirutaro gave a half smile.
Sensaina was entranced with Takami. He was pretty cute, she had to admit that.
She also was a little curious to what his dreamstone looked like. She made a heart with her hands. She wondered how colourful and bright his dreams were. When she found his dreamstone, she was in shock. A grey plain stone laid within his heart. She realized she had to stop it in its tracks.
"So, Takami, what is your dream?" She asked impatiently. He arched his eyebrows in suspicion. She suddenly then heard high heels clack against the nearby pavement. She looked up seeing Raika. She pointed to a black wired gate and extracted Takami's dreamstone.
"Escape, Malvoid!" She shouted.
"Malvoid!" The monstrous gate roared.
Takami dropped down and Sensaina's pupils shrunk with fear.
"I..can do this." She reassured herself.
She took out her dreamkeeper, not realizing Raika was viewing her every move.
"Pretty Cure, Dream On!" She shouted as she gracefully transformed.
"Singing the Everlasting Melody, Cure Songstress!" Songstress introducted.
"How reckless," Raika noted.
Songstress didn't have the time to feel regretful about her actions. She quickly noticed something was different with Raika. The gem on her stone wasn't the same colour. The usual light violet gem was replaced with an onyx gem that amplified her intimidation.
She shook her head violently and jumped towards the gate.
"No side Cures?" Raika asked playfully. Songstress gritted her teeth and tuned out Raika's snide remarks.
She threw kicks towards the Malvoid and attempted to preserve her energy for a better attack.
"Pretty Cure, Musical Clash!" Songstress shouted. The gate opened itself and evaded the attack with ease, letting the attack fly threw its mouth.
Songstress blinked in denial for a few moments.
"Oh come on!" Songstress yelled as she yanked her hair. Raika smirked.
"Ruin her." Raika commanded.
The Malvoid was admitably stronger than the previous times, and Raika was handling it with no difficulty.
Songstress crouched down to catch her breath.
"All tuckered out?" Raika teased.
Songstress completely ignored Raika and attempted to fight off the Malvoid on her own again.
"Is it going to be any use asking for their help when they hate me?" Songstress asked hopelessly.
The Malvoid opened itself and whipped Songstress away.
"But, it'd be out of obligation right? They're Pretty Cures just like me." Songstress pointed out.
Songstress decided to flee from the Malvoid momentarily.
The Malvoid looked towards Raika for a command.
"Get her." Raika demanded.
Songstress was behind a nearby tree dialing up Jonetsu and Haruko on her phone.
"Hey guys? I'm here around my neighbourhood and there's a Malvoid on the loose and I..I can't do this by myself." Songstress said on both of their answering machines. She sighed and heard the Malvoid coming to her. Songstress escaped from her hiding spot and faced the Malvoid.
Songstress was quivering in position, being in denial that she couldn't do this on her own.
"Might as well stall.." Songstress said quietly," What's so different about this Malvoid?"
"Seems you aren't the dullest tool in the shed." Raika remarked," This Malvoid here, is powered by an onyx shard." Raika pointed to the gem on her belt.
"And the difference is..?" Songstress questioned.
"How about a demonstration?" Raika said as she clasped her hands together," Full throttle."
The Malvoid rushed towards her to attack and Songstress weakly attempted to protect herself with her arms. She shut her eyes so she wouldn't have to see her demise. But then an idea popped into her head.
"Pretty Cure, Songstress bubble cover!" Songstress shouted. The Malvoid collided with and shattered the shield.
"Pretty Cure, Botanical Evergreen..Flourish!" She heard a voice cry. Her two fellow Cures jumped down beside her.
Songstress was relieved,"Guys, thank goodness you-!"
"I'm only here to get rid of the Malvoid," Matchmaker said turning her head away from the two other Cures.
"I'm only here to make sure the Malvoid doesn't go buck wild around town," Garden said turning her head away.
"And we still can't agree.." Songstress sobbed.
"It's not like this is all our faults!" Garden shouted.
Matchmaker scowled,"Yeah, maybe if we didn't have some kid our team-!"
"Some kid?! You are not putting all the blame on 'some kid'!"Garden bunnyquoted," She's at fault to for not making good enough clubs!" Her hand unintentionally whacked Songstress in the mouth. Songstress decided to literally sit this one out.
"Why not? It's not like you don't deserve it." Matchmaker said coldly.
Garden stomped her feet angrily," What about you Miss Lovey Dovey? You couldn't even pitch a decent club idea!"
"Guys! None of us pitched a decent club idea!" Songstress finally yelled. She lost all her tolerance and threw enraged looks to the other two Cures.
"I can't believe you two were so ignorant and full of yourselves that you couldn't actually think of ideas that would appeal to the rest of us!" Songstress shouted. Garden and Matchmaker looked at each other with regret.
Suddenly an intense Orchid coloured light flashed around Songstress.
"What's going on?" Songstress asked.
Toki appeared from nowhere and came near to Songstress.
"Don't think-desu! Let your instincts take over-desu!" Toki advised.
"My instincts? Fine." Songstress said. She cleared her mind of all her thoughts. She closed her eyes and they soon involuntarily opened on their own.
"Eternal Octave!" Songstress shouted. She aimed her palm to the Malvoid and shot a rainbow of large different notes. The Malvoid was soon entangled into the notes.
"Awake!" She shouted as she cleansed the Malvoid.
"Hirutaro will be disappointed with me.." Raika said bleakly before she left.
Songstress fell to the ground in pain, unbearable pain. It was as if all the muscles in her body were contracting and expanding.
"Why am I hurting?" Songstress gasped out.
After a few minutes, Songstress felt better and was able to at least stand and after another few minutes, Takami regained consciousness.
"I..I think a car drove into the sidewalk," Sensaina improvised glancing at the mess the Malvoid had made. Takami seemed to be buying it, so Sensaina felt the need to stretch the truth," And you tried to save me."
"Yeah I,um, remember." Takami said groggily," Now if only I could-" Suddenly his phone vibrated.
"Hello?" He said into the phone," Yeah? Really?! Yes, defiantly! Alright, I'll come tomorrow!" He hung up.
"Who was that?" Sensaina asked.
"Long story short, let's just say I found a club..with my new girlfriend!" Takami cheered," So, I'll see you later." Takami skipped off in delight.
"Why do all the good men get taken so quickly?!" Sensaina bawled as Takami was out of earshot.
"Sensaina and her love life..." Jonetsu said skeptically.
Later at Sensaina's house, the girls told Doki about the onyx gem, Sensaina's unintended identity reveal, and Songstress' new attack.
"And now she's knows who am I! I've just jeopardized the secret of Pretty Cure!" Sensaina cried.
"We'll worry about that later-kore. Right now, tell me about the onyx gem-kore," Doki instructed.
"It's in the place of her usual purple gem and it's makes the Malvoids even stronger." Sensaina explained.
"The gems were probably sent from Hatred-kore." Doki said.
"Hatred.." Sensaina trailed. At this point, everyone wanted to know who Hatred was.
