"I wish you didn't drop my phone in the toilet, Candy…" Miyuki groaned under the palm tree.
"I'm sorry~kuru! But it kept making noises~kuru!"
"We really need that phone, Candy." Hippo scolded.
"Well where's your phone, Hippo~kuru?" Candy shot back.
"There was an accident…" Hippo muttered. Luchia came rushing back.
"Sorry about that, Miyuki. I wanted to make sure Kaito was home safe and sound." She apologized, bowing. Then she took her seat beside Miyuki.
"You don't happen to have a cellular device on you, do you?" Miyuki asked sheepishly.
"There was an accident…" They both laughed nervously and looked around. Another bus pulled up to the bus stop at the beach's entrance. Miyuki gave up looking for her friends to come off the bus. She sighed and laid back on her towel.
"Don't worry. They'll turn up." Luchia said, trying to lift the mood.
"It's so hot! I'm going to sweat to death! Ha~ppu~ppu…" Miyuki moaned.
"Miyuki! Miyuki!" A voice called. Miyuki shot up.
"It's Akane~kuru!" It's Akane~kuru!" Candy cheered. "And she has a friend~kuru!" Miyuki raced after her friend, Akane, who was making her way across the beach towards her. Behind Akane was a young girl about their age. She had long black hair, dark eyes, and wore a red tank top and pink shorts and flip-flops.
"Akane! Where have you been!?" Miyuki demanded.
"I got on the wrong bus." She replied.
"Ha~ppu~ppu… Did you know that I got attacked by a blue nose Akanbe!?" Miyuki cried.
"This is your friend?" Rei Hino asked Akane.
"Yes, she is. Miyuki, this is Hino Rei. Rei, this is my friend, Hoshizora Miyuki." Akane introduced. Miyuki bowed.
"Nice to meet you."
"She reminds me too much of Usagi… I wonder how long it'll take before we start fighting." Rei joked.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Miyuki cried. Rei and Akane laughed.
"Is everything okay, Miyuki?" Luchia asked, coming over to Miyuki's side.
"Who's this?" Akane questioned.
"She saved me from the blue nosed Akanbe! It was amazing! She sang this song and it turned the blue nose to a red nose! And I used Happy Shower and the Akanbe disappeared, but there wasn't any Cure Décor piece left behind… And this strange guy showed up and he was the one who summoned the Akanbe. He sang this really depressing song. I was trapped and I fell into a trance—"
"Miyuki!" Luchia cried. She eyed Rei.
"It's okay. Rei helped me defeat an Akanbe too." Akane said. "She transformed into a Sailor Scout."
"A Sailor what?" Luchia asked.
"Sayyyyylooooorrr Scooouuuuttttteeee." Rei emphasized slowly. "Sailor Mars. Not a Pretty Cure, but Sailor Scout. You have a really good friend here, Miyuki. She saved my life."
"She saved mine too! I was about to freeze to death when she freed me from the Akanbe. She used this attack and it turned the Akanbe into a red nose one. I was able to purify it, but like what happened to you, no Cure Décor piece came out." Akane explained.
"We have to contact everyone else." Miyuki said.
"I agree. I think something bad is going to happen. Sailor Lead Crow was revived somehow… We have to unite. Quickly." Rei advised. They walked under the shady tree. Rei was introduced to Candy (she thought that she was a lamb of some sort) and Hippo. Akane and Rei explained to Miyuki and Luchia a bit more about Sailor Scouts. Afterwards, Miyuki and Luchia explained to them about Mermaid Princesses. Thankfully, Luchia did not turn into sea foam.
"Maybe we should call Pop~kuru!" Candy suggested. She opened the Décor Décor and pulled out the cell phone Cure Décor.
"Why didn't I think of that before!? We could've called the others with that!" Miyuki cried.
"You've had that the entire time!?" Hippo yelled.
"What is that?" Rei asked.
"It's the cell phone Cure Décor. We call Pop with that." Akane explained. Miyuki opened her Smile Pact and placed the cell phone Cure Décor in it.
"Let's go, Cell Phone!" It glowed and the girls watched. It rang. And rang. And rang. And rang. But there was no answer.
"Why isn't Pop answering~kuru!? He answers every single time!" Candy cried. Then it stopped ringing. The Smile Pact closed.
"I'll call everyone else." Akane said, pulling out her cell phone and dialing. "Hello? Reika?" She hit a button and it was now on speaker.
"Akane! Oh thank god! You have to help me! I've been kidnapped." Her voice was desperate, which seemed very unusual for Reika.
"Where are you Reika!? We'll come find you!" There was a scream in the background.
"No! Get away from me!" A young girl's voice cried.
"Seira!" Luchia screamed.
"Hold still, mermaid princess!" An unknown voice snapped.
"Alala!? She's there!?" Luchia yelled.
"Who's there? Akane? It's very dark here. I can't see a thing! You have to—" And then there was the dial tone.
"I can't believe it…I let it happen again…" Luchia mumbled. "I shouldn't have let her go home… It's all my fault she got kidnapped…"
"It'll be okay, Luchia." Miyuki reassured. "We'll get your friend back, even if it's the last thing I do!"
"Akane! Miyuki!" A voice called. Everyone's heads spun to the direction the voice came from. Running towards them was Kise Yayoi with Fong Pudding right behind her.
"Yayoi!" Miyuki exclaimed, running towards her.
"You will not believe what happened today!" Yayoi said.
"Hi, I'm Pudding~na~no~da!" Pudding introduced.
"Hoshizora Miyuki." They bowed. The trio went back to the tree where every got introduced. Then Yayoi and Pudding shared their story on what happened to them today.
"There's Pretty Cure, Mermaid Princesses, Sailor Scouts, and now Mew Mews!?" Rei asked, confused.
"Sounds like it." Akane agreed.
"I was right~kuru!" Candy said cheerfully.
"Right about what?" Yayoi asked.
"Well, I was a meeting today with the other fairy partners~kuru. And I told them that Pop told me that there are probably thousands of Pretty Cure in the entire world~kuru!"
"Thousands!?" Miyuki shouted.
"Thousands~kuru! But no one believed me~kuru! But we all don't go by the name of Cure~kuru. There's Mermaid Princess, Scout, and Mew Mew~kuru. And we all transform and fight the bad guys~kuru. That's what warriors do~kuru! So you're all magical girls~kuru!" She exclaimed.
"I never thought of that before…" Yayoi muttered.
"Neither have I." Rei agreed. Akane began to laugh.
"This is all crazy! All these warriors on our side…" Everyone smiled.
"But I think the Pretty Cure outnumbers them all~kuru!" said Candy cheerfully.
"Eh!? There's more Pretty Cure!?" Miyuki cried.
"Apparently~kuru. I just learned that today~kuru."
"How much more?!" Akane exclaimed.
"I dunno~kuru…" Everyone anime fell.
"Focus everyone!" Rei snapped. "You're friends have been kidnapped. Something really bad is going to happen and we have to stop it. Fast."
"Guys!" Everyone looked up to see the face of Midorikawa Nao and Kino Makoto (They found all of Nao's siblings and brought them back to Nao's house.)
"Nao!" Miyuki, Akane, and Yayoi called.
"Mako!" Rei called. Luchia and Pudding felt left out. And so everyone got introduced. Rei and Makoto had a happy reunion, grateful that they were both safe. Rei was very grateful to Nao for saving Makoto's life, as was Makoto to Akane. They recapped on everything that has happened.
"We have to start somewhere." Nao said.
"We can count on Ami to have her phone on her." Makoto said. "And Ami might be with Mina or Usagi."
"If we find Usagi, we'll find Luna, Mamoru, and Chibiusa." Rei pointed out. Makoto pulled out her cell phone and dialed.
"Hello, Ami?" Makoto hit a button and it was on speaker. She set the phone in the middle of the large circle.
"Mako? What's up?" Mizuno Ami's voice asked.
"Ami, where are you?" Rei demanded.
"Hi, Rei. I'm with Usagi. She wanted to go to this place called Tako Café. They sell Takoyaki and Usagi really wants to try it." She explained.
"Hi, Mako! Hi, Rei!" Tsukino Usagi's voice greeted cheerfully through the phone. "Luna's here too! Do you want us to bring you some takoyaki?"
"Give us directions to the Tako Café. We'll meet you there." Candy handed out a pink whistle to Miyuki, an orange one to Akane, a yellow one to Yayoi, and a green one to Nao and then everyone set off.
