It was almost night time, Mystery bursts into her room with a air mattress in her hands. "I got the air mattress!" She said and dropped it on the floor. "Now we need to blow it up. Mom hurry up!"
Her mom arrives with the inflation thing and hooks it up to the mattress, minutes later it's fully blown up. "There." She said. "Need anything else just yell." And with that, she left the room.
Popkat's eyes beamed with delight. "Yay!" She said and jumped on the mattress.
"Don't jump on it too-" Mystery warned her.
"Yah!" Popkat said as she accidentally fell of the matress.
"Hard."
OP- Than The Stars, Than The Flowers.
Popkat quickly got up and sat down on the mattress. "Hey where's Caitlin?" She asked.
"Sleeping? What else?." Mystery replied. She took out her phone and saw a notification reminder on her calendar. "October 7th, 2014, Caitlin's Birthday." She said in her mind. She turned to Caramella who was still awake in a basket. "Hey what day is it?" She asked her.
"It's the 6th. Why?"
"Because it's Caitlin's birthday tomorrow... AND I FORGOT!"
Episode title~ It's a birthday party! Don't let Caitlin find out!
"You forgot her birthday?" Caramella asked.
"In our world, forgetting a birthday of a friend or family is considered selfishness of one's self." Popkat stated.
"It's not my fault I keep forgetting..." Mystery muttered, putting on her pajamas. She took out the scrunchies from her hair and let her hair loose. "Besides, I can manage this in the morning."
"How?" Popkat and Caramella both said.
"She's got dance classes after school till 6PM so I'll need you, Popkat to go get her and distract her for the whole afternoon so I can arrange her party at her house with her siblings since her parents are working."
"How am I supposed to do that?" Popkat asked. "I don't know where her dance classes are."
"I'll give you the address in the morning." Mystery said. "This is gonna be her best-"
Suddenly Marina opened the door to Mystery's room, "Hey I'm trying to sleep!" She fumed.
"Yeah, yeah. We were just going to sleep." Mystery said. She walked up to the light switch and Marina. "Night." She said and slammed the door and turned off the lights.
The next morning came and Mystery was still asleep. Popkat and Caramella have already woken up an hour ago so Popkat decided to wake Mystery up. She sat down near Mystery's bed and pinched her nose and waited for Mystery to react.
Sge waited a while but nothing happened. "She's tough." Popkat whispered and climbed up on Mystery's bed. She tried to push her out of the bed but she was too heavy. "Caramella help me!" She whispered. Caramella sighed and jumped on the bed and the two of pushed Mystery out of bed. Startled, Mystery jolted up, catching her balence.
"WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!" Mystery shouted.
"You wouldn't wake up." Popkat answered. "Plus doesn't school start in 30 minutes for you?"
"You looked through my bag?!"
"Maybe... I also found failed tests in there and other stuff."
Mystery fumed and at the same time she rushed to her closet to grab her clothes, she put on her clothes on fast and grabbed her bag. "I'm out!"
Popkat raced to the door after Mystery left. "WAIT! What about that address?!"
"It's on the desk!" Mystery shouted and rushed out the front door.
Caramella jumped to the desk and looked at the note, "This is blank." She looked out the window, "COME BACK IT'S FREAKING BLANK!"
Meanwhile in that same alley...
"You failed again?!" Radiance shouted at Rhea.
Rhea blinked at her harsh tone. "I'm sorry! Geez! I'm not good at this!"
Radiance sighed, "I knew this was hard for you. I'm sending Haze and Frisk the next time you fail. Let's hope you do better" she said and closed the call
Rhea's eyes widened. "Not them please! They're older and meaner!" She complained, shaking her watch. She sighed and saw the call being back on. "Also, where are you?" Radiance asked.
"Uh... in an alley?." Rhea answered.
"Didn't I give a specific hideout in that arcade store inside a broken video game machine?"
Rhea awkwardly whistled, "Bye!" She said and ended the call.
Hours passed by and the school day ended and Mystery was rushing to Caitlin's house. She was halfway there and bumped into her other friends who are 8 named Amai and Moriko.
"Oh sorry girls!" Mystery apologized. "I didn't see you."
"It's alright Mystery!" Amai beamed.
"Why are you in a rush?" Moriko asked.
"Because I need to plan Caitlin's birthday party and Popkat says you have to celebrate your friend's birthday on his or her day or something like that I don't know." Suddenly Mystery had an idea. "Say you know how to cook Amai?"
"A little, why?"
Mystery grabbed both Amai's and Moriko's hands and stated running, "You two are helping me with a cake!"
"YAY!" Amai cheered.
"Would you get in trouble if I shouted I'm being abducted by a stranger?" Moriko shouted, keeping up with Mystery's pace.
Popkat and Caramella walked around, trying to find that dance studio Caitlin was in. "I wanted to stay with Mystery and help with the cake." Popkat whined. Caramella rolled her eyes, "Just find that studio!" She scolded her.
"Hmmmm..." Popkat looked around and saw a dance studio nearby, "Maybe it's that one?" She said, pointing to it that was across the street.
"I think it is." Caramella answered.
"Hooray!" Cheered Popkat and started racing towards the street but Caramella stopped her.
"Popkat you can't just cross the street like that!"
"Well why not? I see no problem!"
"Cars..."
"So?"
"They could kill you!"
"I'm a cat! I have 9 lives! Plus I have powers to help me!"
"Well you're a human for now. And you're powers haven't grown in yet!"
Popkat pouted and waited for the light to turn red for her to cross.
Mystery reached Caitlin's house and tried to find the key they hide somewhere around the front door. Amai looked at the door and knocked on the door and Ichirou, Caitlin and Leena's older brother opened the door. "Yes?"
Mystery stopped looking and looked up at him, "Thanks for opening the door Ichi-san!" She beamed at him and walked inside.
"So why are you girls here?" He asked them.
"Caitlin's birthday is today so I decided to bake a cake for her!" Mystery replied. She walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge to gather the ingredients.
"I didn't want to come here." Moriko said, jumping on the couch and getting a head start on her homework.
Leena came down the stairs and saw the three girls. "Hey guys!" She said and waved at them, she saw Mystery in the kitchen and walked towards her. "What are you doing?" She asked her. Leena saw the baking the ingredients on the counter top, "YOU'RE GONNA BAKE?!"
Mystery grabbed the mixer and looked at Leena. "Pretty much yeah. You didn't know it's Caitlin's birthday?" She asked her. "Oh I knew." Leena replied. "But Caitlin said she didn't want anything from me."
"Then, you wanna help me and Amai bake the cake? Moriko isn't helping." Mystery glanced at the Moriko who was busy with her homework.
"Sure! I'll go get Unmei and Wakai!" Leena beamed, she raced upstairs to her room and called Unmei and Wakai to come downstairs.
Popkat entered the building and walked up to the counter. "Hello?"
"Yes, how may I help you?" The lady said.
"Um... Do you know about Caitlin?"
"Caitlin Rakurai?"
"Yeah her."
"She doesn't get out till 6PM and it's 5PM."
"I'll wait."
"Alright, you can wait at the waiting area over there."
"Thanks!"
Popkat walked over the waiting area and sat down in a chair, she saw magazines on a table and grabbed one to read it. "How To Ask Your Crush Out?" She said, reading the title. "Ew!" She threw the magazine back on the table and grabbed another one, it was a animal themed magazine so she decided to look through it to pass the time.
Back at Caitlin's house Mystery and the 5 girls were around the kitchen counter, Mystery grabbed the cook book and flipped through the pages to find a cake recipe.
"Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake. Cake!" Mystery said, and read what to do. "Grab three eggs and put them in the bowl."
"Three eggs check!" Unmei said, she put the eggs on the counter and Wakai grabbed them. "I'll crack them." Wakai said and grabbed the bowl and cracked the eggs a little too hard and broke one of them. "Oops."
Amai grabbed another egg and cracked it herself, "You're not supposed to hit them hard." Amai scolded Wakai. "She grabbed a whisk and mixed the eggs. Wakai rolled her eyes. "What's the next ingredient?" She asked.
"Add a cup of milk, 3/4 cups flour and four spoons of sugar." Mystery said.
Unmei and Leena grabbed the milk and sugar while Moriko grabbed the flour, she decided to help them since it was the right thing to do and Amai begged her. Unmei poured the milk, she spilled the milk a bit but it didn't matter. Next came the sugar and Leena poured in 4 spoons. Moriko put the flour on the counter and tried to open it. "Almost!" She said, it opened but the flour exploded in a puff of smoke. Almost everyone had been covered in flour.
Everyone glared at Moriko who was the only one not covered in flour. She did a nervous laugh. "S-sorry." She apologized to them. "At least we got 3/4 of it in the bowl!"
Popkat finished reading her third comic and before the realized, it was 6PM and the dance class was leaving. Popkat saw Caitlin and ran up to her. "CAITLIN YOUR HERE!" She beamed and hugged her.
Her dance mates snickered at her as they left the studio. Caitlin hid her face and rushed out. "Popkat what you doing here?!"
"Well My-"
Caramella covered her mouth and continued to finish her sentence. "What she meant was that Mystery thought it'd be great for you and Popkat to hang out!"
"It's 6PM, I'm tired, where do you wanna go?!"
"Hmmm..." Popkat thought about it for a moment. She suddenly an idea. "The arcade!" She grabbed her hand and ran.
Lyrica appeared from Caitlin's bag. "How's Mystery with the cake?"
"Not sure. But judging Mystery's personality... She's probably screwed up." Caramella replied.
Mystery read the next the step of the recipe, "Next mix it with the-" Suddendly Wakai grabbed the cook book and threw it to the living room, only missing Ichirou by a inch who was lying on the couch, watching TV and didn't seem to care.
"Hey!" Mystery yelled. "What was that for?! We need that!"
"It doesn't need a brain on how to make a cake. You just mix it, then put it in the oven."
Mystery just stared at her.
Unmei put the bowl under the mixer, "Let's just mix this already." She said.
"So what switch we turn on?" Moriko asked. "Low, Meduim, High or Full Power?"
"Medium." Mystery answered. "Look I gotta go call um someone so be right back." She left the kitchen and ran upstairs to the bathroom.
Mystery sat down on the toilet and took out her phone, she saw a bow symbol on her contacts and clicked on it and waited for Caramella to reply.
"Hello?" Caramella said through the phone.
"Hey Caramella!"
"Oh hey! How's it going?"
"Well we're almost done with the cake. What about you?"
"Oh just heading to another place since the arcade closed already."
"Well all you gotta do is keep distracting her till-"
"WAKAI, MORIKO ARE YOU TWO INSANE?!" Leena shouted.
"AHHHHHH!" Unmei shouted.
"PLUG IT OFF! PLUG IT OFF!" Amai screamed.
Mystery heard them screaming, "Gotta go!" She hung up and ran out of the bathroom and to the kitchen and saw the girls trying to plug off the mixer which was spewing the batter everywhere. She ran the mixer and grabbed it but the moment she did, she started screaming. "ICHIROU HELP US!" She screamed. She didn't see him at the couch. "ICHIROU?!"
"HE LEFT THE HOUSE!" Leena screamed.
"WHY?!"
"HE'D ALWAYS DO THAT IF SOMETHING WRONG HAPPENS SO HE WON'T GET IN TROUBLE TOO!"
"WELL THAT'S JUST-"
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF CRUD!" Moriko shouted and grabbed the plug and pulled on it and it came out.
The mixer stopped moving and Mystery put it back on the table. Cake batter was all over the place. "What the hell happened?!" Mystery said, wiping off some cake batter off her head.
"Well..." Amai started.
"I decided to add some Pop Rocks since it's Caitlin's favorite candy and I put it on low, then Wakai and Moriko thought it'd be funny to put it on full power and then the mixer went out of control." Leena explained.
"Looks like we're gonna have to make another batter." Mystery said. "But all of you are gonna clean up this place!"
The five girls all groaned.
"Now let's go to-"
Caitlin let's go of Popkat's hand. "No! I'm tired of walking around. I just wanna go home!" She started walking .
"Wait!" Popkat said and grabbed her hand. She tried to stop her from moving but she wasn't strong enough. "Where's a Uirususama when you need one?!" She thought to herself.
Just then a Uirususama appeared, much to Popkat's dismay, she regretted saying it. Caitlin saw the monster and face palmed herself. "Great not these." She said in her mind, she took out her phone. "Let's do this Lyrica..." She said with a bored expression.
"PRECURE!" Caitlin shouted.
"Awh yeah!" Lyrica said, flinging her pendant towards her.
"CHARGE UP!" Caitlin said, grabbing the pendant and putting it on her phone, she pressed the numbers 3474 and swiped her phone.
"This 8-bit note shows my love for singing and dancing... Cure Neon Light..." She didn't show much emotion since she doesn't want to do this now.
Mystery put the second cake batter into the oven and waited for it too bake and since she made a bit too much she decided to make some cupcakes also. She looked at the girls who were still cleaning. "It takes you this long for you finish cleaning?!"
"It's so sticky!" Unmei whined, trying to scrub the remaining batter from the floor.
"At least were almost done!" Amai said, mopping the floor.
"Watch were you mop!" Wakai warned her as the mop touched her butt.
"How long do we have to wait for the cake?" Moriko asked.
"About 20 minutes or so." Mystery answered, she went into the fridge and took out the frosting. She set the frosting on the floor and went to find some other decorations.
"Precure kick!" Neon Light shouted and kicked the monster, her balance was off and missed it. She landed hard on the ground, exhausted, she couldn't get up. "Mysterh where are you?!" She thought to herself.
"Come on Neon Light!" Popkat said from afar. She flicked her ears and used her psychic powers to lift Neon Light back on her feet.
"This is just too easy." Rhea laughed.
"You say that almost everytime!" Neon Light shouted, she started to get pissed now and some electric impulses came from her hair. "I'm so done with this! PRECURE!" She rubbed her hair, "ELECTRO BOLT!" She released a bolt of thunder and defeated the monster leaving Rhea out in the open. Rhea tried to sneak off but Neon Light grabbed her right shoulder, since she was angry at the moment she shocked Rhea and was ready to punch her till Popkat and the fairies held her back, they had on rubber gloves on so they won't get shocked.
"It's not worth it!" Lyrica said.
"Come on now!" Caramella shouted.
Neon Light calmed down now and de-transformed, she sighed and simply said. "I'm going home now."
Popkat, without arguing, followed her.
Mystery heard a ding and went to the oven and took out the cake, "HOT! HOT!" She said and set the tray down and took off her oven mitts and blew on her hands to cool then down. "One of you get the cupcakes out." She asked.
"I'll do it!" Amai said, she put on the mitts and took out the cupcakes. "Now can we decorate them?" She begged.
Mystery nodded. She handed all of them those cake decorating utensils to put on the frosting. "Just don't screw it up. I'm gonna go and find those blowie thingys that make noises and som candles." She headed out to the basement cause that's where they keep them.
Leena opened the blue frosting can and dipped her utensil in and started to spread it on the cake. Unmei took the green one and started to decorate the cupcakes. Moriko and Wakai took out those frosting bags and hard some trouble trying to get the frosting to come out.
Wakai pressed the bag hard as she could and soon the frosting came out and squirted some on Moriko's nose. "HEY!" Moriko shouted at her, she grabbed a frosting can and opened it and dipped her fingers in it and spread it on Wakai's face.
"Why you!" She grabbed one of the cupcakes Unmei finished decorating and smashed it on Moriko's head. She did the akanbe to her. "Oh it's on!" Moriko shouted and started flinging frosting at her.
Leena tried to stop them but the moment Leena got frosting on her shirt and screamed and took her shirt off and went to the sink to wash it. Amai and Unmei were the only two didn't get involved.
Mystery came back upstairs and saw that they were fighting. "HEY!" She set down the stuff on the table and went to break up the food fight. "We're supposed to decorate the cake! Not each other!"
"Stay out of this!" Moriko snapped at her and flung frosting at her. Wakai ran to the living room to get a better shot and threw more frosting.
"WAIT NOT THE FURNITURE!" Leena shouted.
"Let's just finish this cake- Mystery looked around for Unmei who was under the dining table. "Unmei why are you?"
"I'm not getting out till this over!" She said, hugging one of the pegs. Mystery sighed and rushed back to finish the cake with Amai.
Soon, Caitlin and Popkat reached her house. As she was about to open the door, Popkat closed her eyes with her hands. "
"What the?"
"It's a surprise." Popkat said. She opened the door and said, "HAPPY BIRTH-" She stared at the room where Moriko, Amai and Wakai were having a food fight, Leena trying to clean the mess off the furniture, and Unmei hiding under the table. All Popkat could say was, "Uhhh..."
Caitlin stared at the mayhem and everyone stopped what they were doing. "Why is Wakai and Moriko having a cake war, why is Unmei hiding under the table, why is Leena half dressed, where the hell is my brother and what's with the freaking mess?! Somebody better explain this before I start choking everyone."
Mystery grabbed the half finished cake and raced to Caitlin, unfortunately she slipped and the cake fell on Caitlin's head. "Crap..." Mystery muttered. She got up and bowed up and down repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Mystery, I'm giving you two minutes to explain before I kill you." Caitlin said in a calm matter.
"Well..." Mystery began. "I forgot your birthday so I decided to bake a cake for you and I knew I'd fail so I asked Amai and Moriko-
"I didn't wanna come!" Moriko shouted.
"So I asked Amai because Moriko isn't helpful! So I went to your house and then Leena and her friends helped then we screwed up the mixer with Pop Rocks and then we had to make another batter then I went to get some candles and those blowy things that make noise and then I see Moriko and Wakai having a fight and Leena cleaning her shirt and then you came and I'm so so sorry!"
"You did that for me?" Caitlin said.
"Yeah..."
"I appreciate all this but you shouldn't have. I literally mean it, you shouldn't have."
"So are you gonna taste the cake or what?" Wakai asked.
Caitlin dipped her finger in the cake and stuck her finger in her mouth. "Wow this good!"
Leena grabbed the tray of cupcakes and stuck a candle in them and gave it Caitlin. "Happy Birthday!"
Mystery grabbed a lighter and lit the candle. "Now make a wish!"
Caitlin blew out the candle. "There."
Mystery took out the candle and then shoved the cupcake in Caitlin's face. "YES! I GOT REVENGE!" She started laughing at her. Caitlin grinned and grabbed the tray of cupcakes Leena was holding. Mystery stopped laughing. "Uh Caitlin?" She said and started running. "I'M SORRY!"
"COME BACK HERE!" Caitlin screamed.
Moriko and Wakai shrugged and went back to their war.
Ichirou opened the door and when he saw all that, we walked right out.
Yup, this was a strange birthday.
