"Despite all of our efforts, we still didn't join the same club." Sensaina said sheepishly. Jonetsu joined the Fashion Club and was soon elected vice-president while Haruko joined the Tennis Club and Sensaina joined the Gamers' Club. They were all sitting on a bench in the park.
"I guess we should acknowledge our differences, like that Takami guy said," Jonetsu stated.
"Takami.."Sensaina sobbed.
Haruko rolled her eyes," Sensaina, you probably knew that you would never get Takami and- Where's Toki?"
Jonetsu pointed her out," In human form." Toki was transformed into the beautiful girl with wavy hair and was sitting right next to Haruko, wolfing down a watermelon slice
"Why now?" Haruko asked.
Toki spit out a handful of seeds before responding," I can't eat as fast in my mascot form." Haruko groaned. Sensaina took note of how sultry Toki seemed as she ate her watermelon slice.
Nearby a man with a large camera was taking many pictures of Toki eating the watermelon.
"Perfect shot, perfect pose, how modelesque!" The man squealed.
"Huh?" Haruko said. She saw the flash of the camera coming from a nearby bush. Haruko blushed slightly, thinking the man was taking pictures of her and violently made her way towards the bush.
"Who are you?!" Haruko yelled as she took away his camera.
"Please, please don't delete the pictures! She's just so cute.." The man said. Haruko looked through the recent taken pictures.
"These are of Toki.." Haruko said quietly.
"Toki, is it? Well may I say she's is just the cutest girl is town?" The man elbow-nudged Haruko.
Haruko relentlessly karate-chopped the man down," As if! You don't even deserve to look at her!"
"Well how come I can't but that guy can?" The man weeped on the ground.
"What?" Haruko looked up and saw a fashionable man talking to Toki. Haruko rushed up towards them.
"I like watermelons!" Toki cheered.
"Who is he?!" Haruko yell-whispered to Sensaina.
"He said something about being a modeling agent.." Sensaina replied. The man had very light blond hair and wore sunglasses with a metallic green blazer. His smile seemed eternal and his teeth were snow white.
"Let me just say that you are the bee's knees!" The man said.
"Bees have knees?" Toki asked. The man chuckled.
"You have the total package, looks, charm, humor.." The man listed," May I have your name?"
Jonetsu and Sensaina frantically attempted to create a name for Toki's human form.
"Her n-name is T-t-t-tokiwa ah, erm,uh..." The girls gave up.
"Aomimi." Toki responded in robotic tone.
"Ms. Aomimi, there is a pageant taking place this Wednesday and I'd just love to see you participate in it!" The man exclaimed," So what do you say?"
"Um, sure I guess.." 'Tokiwa' replied.
"Perfect! I'll register you right now!" The man exclaimed as he ran off gleefully.
"What a..flamboyant man." Sensaina remarked.
"Kinda nutty if you ask me.." Jonetsu tilted her head," So Toki, are you really going to enter that pageant?"
"Tokiwa," Toki corrected," And..what's a pageant?"
Sensaina and Jonetsu fell to the ground shocked with Toki's response.
"Well I think pageants are stupid." Haruko declared.
"aw, well too bad! She's entering that pageant!" Jonetsu yelled as she grabbed Toki and Sensaina wrists to run off.
"How's she even going to get a pageant dress?!" Haruko yelled angrily.
"Fashion Club!" Jonetsu shouted.
Haruko sighed and shut her eyes for a moment. She didn't to anything to stop them and now what if Toki were to win the pageant? She wondered if her friends were even thinking of what the outcome of the pageant would be like? Toki's human form was pretty enough. If she were to wear dazzling ball gown and evening dresses, there'd be no doubt she would win. And her becoming a model to go travel and stray herself from Haruko would just be an equivalent to an impalement to Haruko's heart. Not to mention it wouldn't benefit the Pretty Cure either.
"I should really talk them out of it.." Haruko said to herself. But then she remembered how happy Toki looked, sure she didn't know what a pageant was but she seemed to like the whole 'modeling' idea. Taking away her happiness wouldn't be right, even if it meant letting Toki risk distancing herself from the Pretty Cure.
At Jonetsu's house, the Fashion Club gathered and Sensaina tagged along to help create an outfit for Toki.
"So, yeah this is our friend, Tokiwa Aomimi." Jonetsu introduced awkwardly.
"Wow! How beautiful!" One girl remarked.
"She's so cute!" Another girl remarked.
"Anyways, she's entering a local pageant and she needs to be prettied up!" Jonetsu proclaimed.
"Are you guys up for the challenge?" Sensaina asked.
"Yeah!" The girls shouted confidently. The girls went to the highest fashion stores in town to get ideas to what kind of outfit would be suitable for Toki's pageant.
"Any colour you particularly want your dress to be?" One girl, Manami, asked Toki.
Toki wasn't hesitant on this," Blue!''
The girls looked around at the blue dresses to see which would suit Toki. There were so many dresses that caught Toki's eyes but it only took a few moment for each of them to let her lose interest and move. The girls made her try on multiple dresses and soon they realized how picky Toki really was.
"Well, at least she isn't lying," Jonetsu said sheepishly.
"This one!" Toki said as she emerged from the dressing room. Donned onto her was a long ,of course blue,evening gown with an ombre overlay effect and was bedazzled with rhinestones and sequins.
"We'll take it!" Jonetsu concluded.
"Jonetsu, that's going to be really expensive.." Sensaina said.
"Not unless you have this!" Jonetsu held up to Sensaina a giftcard. Sensaina took it from her hands to look at it.
"A three-hundred dollar giftcard to Pop of Pretty..who in their right mind would give you this?" Sensaina asked before the gift card was swiped out of her hands.
They went to cash out and they took Toki to Jonetsu's house to give her modeling and pageant tips.
"The girls you're going to go up against will be serpents!" One of the girls warned.
Toki took the term literally," I thought it was humans only.."
"Serpent-hearted," Jonetsu said in hopes Toki would understand now.
"But you'll defiantly beat them! You're pretty on both the inside and outside!" Another girl cheered.
"Hopefully," Toki said quietly.
Meanwhile Hydra and Ignis had found a poster for the pageant.
"Oh my! I should enter for my beauty to be showcased!" Hydra exclaimed, picturing herself in her dream gown.
"Yeah if it was pageant for trolls. Oh, I would win doubtlessly!" Ignis daydreamed of her dream gown.
"Well, we can't both enter." Hydra stated.
"I don't see why we can't." Ignis said.
"Did you already forget? Hirutaro said we aren't allowed to work together." Hydra said.
"Well, what about this? Whoever gets dismissed first has to leave and the remaining Major gets to wreak havoc!" Ignis announced.
Hydra seemed intrigued with such a proposition," You're on!" The girls went their separate ways to think of ideas and strategies to beat out the opposing Major.
Haruko was ready to storm off to Jonetsu's house to tell her off but she kept on talking herself out.
"This was much easier in my head." Haruko sighed. She then suddenly heard a familiar voice from nearby.
"Kore.." The voice droned.
"Doki?" Haruko said. Doki appeared from nowhere and hopped into Haruko's arms.
"I can't stand this-kore!" Doki shouted.
"Tell me about it, Toki's too pretty to even be in that pageant," Haruko sighed.
"No, the attention is going to her head-kore!" Doki yelled.
"Maybe," Haruko said. The confidence and anger within her was draining away. She walked into the opposite and gave up for the day.
"Where are we going-kore?!" Doki yelped.
A few days later, the night of the pageant arrived.
The host was a woman with a large bust with curly brown hair and purple lipstick. She wore a long dark red gown with a slit down one side. The crowd hollered her name and were awestruck with her beauty. She laughed a deep seductive laugh.
"Settle down please," She said into the microphone in her hands,"Greetings everyone! Welcome to the first model in the making pageant! Ladies, ready to show off your evening gowns?"
A number of girls came from both sides of the stage and flashed smiles as they walked.
"Is that Toki?" Sensaina asked excitedly. Looking to a girl with a dress different than the one they decided on.
"Nope, that's Toki." Jonetsu pointed to a girl wearing the dress they bought.
"Then that must be.." Sensaina trailed off in panic," What are we going to-?!"
"She's not the only one here.." Jonetsu pointed out Ignis.
Sensaina put her face in her hands," What are we going to do?!"
"Well we can't just tell security to get rid of them because they are from Malevolent and they're bent on making the world a complete nightmare."
Jonetsu said.
"They aren't being disruptive either," Sensaina pointed out," If things get out of hand, then we can get rid of them."
Hydra was dressed in short, strapless gown with a tattered but stylish train. The crowd seemed to be impressed with her outfit and she blew the audience a kiss. Ignis came beside her and gave her a violent elbow nudge.
"You're not allowed to do that," Ignis said between clenched teeth. Ignis wore a bright glittery red short V-necked dress and the crowd was just eating her up.
"Doesn't matter," Hydra said, giving a more violent elbow nudge to Ignis.
"This won't end well," Jonetsu cringed.
Soon, a few girls were dashed of their hopes and dismissed from the competition but Hydra, Ignis, and Toki remained. The two majors were so thrilled continued on in the competition, they didn't realize Toki was one of the participants.
"Makes you wonder," Jonetsu began.
"Huh?" Sensaina asked.
"How they will do in the talent portion of the competition." Jonetsu finished.
"Talent..did we go over that with Toki?" Sensaina asked. Jonetsu's pupil's shrunk, answering Sensaina's question.
And soon, the talent portion of the competition came.
Ignis went first.
"For my talent, I am going to get this crowd fired up." Ignis announced. She snapped and blew flames to the crowd. The crowd ran away and Ignis was told to leave the premises otherwise security would take her away.
"Then that means.." Ignis and Hydra said in unison.
"Yes, I beat her out! Now then.." Hydra removed all the dreamstones from the already eliminated girls of the competition.
"Escape, Malvoid!" Hydra said joyously as she pointed to a closeby camera.
"Sensaina! Go find Haruko!" Jonetsu shouted. Sensaina nodded and dashed off.
Hydra was enjoying this moment to much to even notice Jonetsu here.
"Pretty Cure, Dream On!" Jonetsu shouted as she transformed.
"Joining two hearts together, Cure Matchmaker!" Matchmaker introduced.
Hydra still didn't notice her," I beat out that lawn gnome! I beat her!"
"Um?" Matchmaker started. She left Hydra the way she was and went over to her Malvoid. She threw multiple punches towards the Malvoid but her attacks seemed worthless.
"When did you get here?" Hydra shouted.
"Honestly.." Matchmaker fought the urge to scold Hydra and her dim wits.
"Haruko! Haruko!" Sensaina cried. She was only a few blocks away from the pageant area and there was still no sign of Haruko.
"Haruko! Haru-" Sensaina ceased her yelling as she found Haruko sitting under a broken tree with Doki in her arms.
"At least I found you," Sensaina said," The pageant is a disaster and-!"
"Why am I not surprised?" Haruko said as she turned her head away from Sensaina.
"What?" Sensaina said.
"I knew this pageant was a bad idea." Haruko declared.
"Ok, fine you're right, now can we go?" Sensaina asked.
Haruko didn't say anything.
"Why are you acting like this?" Sensaina asked.
Doki spoke for her,"She's scared that-" Doki's mouth was clamped shut.
"Scared that what?" Sensaina questioned.
Haruko blushed and kept her mouth shut.
"Fine, don't tell me and let Toki remain in danger while Hydra's still terrorizing at the pageant." Sensaina said.
Haruko sighed and eventually spoke up," Alright. I'm scared that Toki will win and become a famous model traveling the world and.." A tear slid down her cheek.
"Oh Haruko," Sensaina crouched down in front of her," Toki told me she didn't even want to win."
"Why not?' Haruko asked.
"Because then she'd have to be separated from you." Sensaina replied softly. Haruko reddened.
"Well then why did she enter?" Haruko asked.
"Can't a mascot have a little fun?" Sensaina asked as she stood up and lifted Haruko from the ground," Come on, we gotta go save her." She held out her dreamkeeper and Haruko hers out as well.
"Pretty Cure, Dream on!" They shouted.
"Singing the Everlasting Melody, Cure Songstress!" Songstress introduced.
"Growing everything in a lifeless land, Cure Garden!" Garden introduced.
"Guardians of Dreams, side by side together we are.." They struck a pose," Dream High! Pretty Cure!"
"Now let's go." Songstress advised.
"Where are they?!" Matchmaker screamed as she desperately fought against the Malvoid.
"Malvoid!" The Malvoid exclaimed as it took a picture of Matchmaker.
"That's the eighth one! I'm starting to see spots.." Matchmaker shouted. She gritted her teeth as jumped into the air.
"Pretty Cure, Lovesick Barrage!" Matchmaker shouted. She descended and caught a glimpse of Songstress and Garden.
"Pretty Cure, Flowering Musical!" The Cures shouted. An attack consisting of flowers and music notes swarmed around the Malvoid.
"Where's Toki?" Garden asked as she spun around searching for the blue-haired humanoid.
Matchmaker fought with the Malvoid some more," She's around the bottom of the catwalk."
Garden rushed towards the catwalk and checked the are for Toki.
She found Toki in mascot form quivering by the catwalk.
"Toki!" Garden shouted.
The Malvoid aimed it's flashed for Garden and Toki.
"Pretty Cure Musical Clash!" Songstress shouted as she stood in front of Garden and Toki.
"Garden-desu.." Toki whimpered.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine," Garden assured, even though she was as scared as Toki.
The Malvoid grabbed Songstress by the waist and threw her towards Matchmaker.
"Guys!" Garden shouted. She realized it was now up to her to save the day.
She placed Toki on the stage. She then faced the Malvoid and mentally strategized a plan. The Malvoid prepared it's flash.
Garden saw a large shard of glass nearby," Pretty Cure, Botanical Evergreen..Flourish!" She grabbed the large shard and as the camera flashed, the flash was reflected onto the shard and the Malvoid took a picture of itself.
"While it's confused.." Garden said.
"Pretty Cure, Blooming Empathy!" Garden shouted. A large flower appeared and she aimed it towards the Malvoid.
"Awake!" She shouted as she purified the Malvoid.
The eliminated pageant girls dreamstones were returned and the girls eventually came to.
The audience gradually returned and the hostess ,along with the judges, acted as if nothing ever happened and they proceeded with the pageant. Soon, it was time to announce the winner. Toki was a finalist.
"And now, the winner of our first model in the making pageant is.. Nanako Tenoh!" The Hostess announced. Toki blinked for a few moments in denial, but the other finalist seemed bitter.
"Sorry you didn't win Toki." Haruko said as Toki got down from the stage.
"It's alright, it was fun while it lasted and at least now I don't have to be a model!" Toki exclaimed.
"But what could be better than being a model?" Haruko questioned skeptically.
Toki transformed back into her mascot form," Being by Haruko's side-desu!"
