Mirror Yes Fiveday

Summary:

Through the nugging of both Tanomi and the idea by Nozomi, the Yes 5 and Mirror Five (As they are sometimes called) decide to finally meet up during their spring breaks at Karen's family's private island for Golden Week. However, while the groups face some microaggression towards each other due to certain hot heads on both sides, they face their worst disaster for the trip as they soon find themselves waking up the next morning, face to face with themselves. Now they must combat this issue, find what caused it, and fix it to return to normal. But during this, their situations put them into situations that allow them to get to know each other better than they did when they first met all those years ago. Which might allow for some friendships to blossom between them, should they allow it.

Chapter 1: Spring Break is Here! Sleepover on Karen’s Island!

Notes:

So here we are my friends! It might've taken me..a bit longer than I wanted (THIS FIC WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FINISHED LAST WEEKEND BUT NO INSTEAD I HAD TO BE SWAMPED WITH WORK!) but it's here now! Though the first two chapters I am releasing today are only 1/3 of the fic since I still need time to read over the rest of the chapters! That being said I hope you look forward to it!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

It was a rather warm Sunday afternoon in the small city of Lumiver. The cars and people were all busting around enjoying the last joys of the weekend before the dreadful long week would come for students and parents alike. Though celebratory banners were already being held for events during Golden Week for many students to participate in.

And a certain group of students were doing something together as five multi-colored girls sitting and enjoying some ice cream together. One in particular, a girl with magenta hair wearing a magenta shirt with black shorts, seemed to voraciously enjoy her chocolate ice cream with a childlike glee. As she did though a certain blue haired girl of their group chuckled.

“Never thought i’d see you enjoy food so fast, Tanomi.” The girl says as the magenta haired girl briefly pauses from her treat and blushes. “Ahh..oh my sorry about Marina and everyone else. Are other people watching?” She questions as she looks around but most seem to not be paying her and her friends any mind. As she does this, the short blonde girl of the group giggles.

“Not really. I think we're just shocked at you eating like that. You normally are so well..” She says as a green haired girl speaks up. “Polite and ladylike.” She says as the blonde nods, snapping her fingers. “Ahh yeah what Kimari said!” The girl says as Kimari sighs. “Honestly, Amai it wasn’t even that hard of a word.” She says with an eye roll as Amai blushes.

“Oi sorry I am not that great with vocabulary! I am a dancer not a speaker!” She says with a pout as Marina smirks. “Even a dancer should know those words, Amai.” The girl says taking the piss out of her friend as she blushes and pouts. “Ughh stop ganging up on me! Tanomi help me!” Amai yells as she moves behind her magenta haired friend as she looks confused.

“Uhh it’s okay Amai.” She says kindly as she turns to her other friends. “Everyone, you really shouldn't pick on Amai like that.” Tanomi says as Kimari sighs. “It’s just us ripping on her Tanomi.” She says as Amai frowns. “Not when you do it together!” She yells as the group all collectively sigh at their blonde haired friend.

“Regardless of Amai, I gotta say guys, Tanomi’s not doing anything I haven’t seen her do before. If you think she ate her ice cream fast, try watching her eat my cooking back during the night we met. I never knew a girl as thin as her could eat so much in such a short time.” The girl says as Tanomi blushes to her reddish orange haired friend.

“Oh my I..I am so sorry Hina. I didn’t mean to eat so much. I didn’t even think of it back then. I suppose for me especially after learning what food could taste like..well I get a Nozomi like feeling and just dive into it.” She says as Hina snickers.

“So do you get this Nozomi feeling when you walk, and then fall on your face too?” She questions as Tanomi blushes. “I..no..I am not as clumsy as Nozomi. Thankfully. I don’t think I could handle being hurt that often. She really handles it well.” Tanomi says with a smile as Hina smirks.

“So I heard. But hey I mean you took down Shadow by yourself. And from what you told us, Nozomi needed to get a powerup from those two bears and fight together with her team to beat him. So I'd say you're pretty tough, maybe even tougher.” She says with praise as Tanomi blushes.

“Thank you very much for the kind words Hina. But...my powers alone were not enough. I require all of your powers to defeat Shadow. So really it shows how strong all of us are together.” Tanomi says as Kimari nods.

“Damn right. Though I wish I could’ve torn that clown a new one for trapping us in those crystals. And for attacking you like that.” Kimari says with an annoyed look as Amai nods as she stands from the table slamming her hands down.

“I know right! It’s so unfair! Tanomi, why are you the only one of us that can become a Pretty Cure!” Amai yells as Tanomi blushes. “Oh..well I am not really sure. My own Curemo appeared when I awoke in the new reality thanks to my reincarnation. My only guess is the power of the Prism Stones is stronger than the White Hole’s power.” She says as Amai pouts as Marina gives her a confused look .

“Since when did you wanna become a Pretty Cure, Amai? I figured you’d be too much of a scaredy cat to become one.” She says as Amai frowns. “Hey! I am not a scaredy cat, thank you very much! Besides, I only wanna be one a Pretty Cure to..” She says as the last part comes out as a whisper. “Huh? Hey speak up I can’t hear ya?” Hina questions as Amai says it again as Tanomi listens in and frowns.

“Because you can fight with…Urara?” She questions trying to piece words together as Amai blushes as her eyes widen. “Tan..TANOMI!” She yells as the girl is taken aback by the blonde yell as she looks at her. “Uh yes?” She questions with her head giving a cute tilt of innocence as the rest of the group laughed. As they finish though, Hina looks to Amai with a smirk. “You're still star struck by Urara aren’t you?” She questions as Amai nods.

“Of course! I mean she’s my idol! I’ve been a fan of her since she started her music career. Well at least now after being reincarnated! And to top it off, I am somehow her reincarnated counterpart! So, it’d be so cool to fight with her! I mean I saw some videos on Curetube of her kicking butt as Cure Lemonade. Especially that cool chain move she can do! It’s so awesome!” She yells in joy as Hina smirks before making a similar expression to Amai when she’s in her starstruck mode.

“Oh..Urara Sama I love you so much..please let’s fight together and live together as girlfriends.” Hina jokes with a kissy face as Amai blushes. “Oi! I don’t like Urara like that! Besides I was her counterpart..so given Tanomi’s relationship to Nozomi, I am basically her twin sister!” She yells as Tanomi looks at her and nods.

“I suppose that’s fair to think. Though, I specifically asked to be reincarnated as Nozomi’s sister. You four didn’t and wanted to be reincarnated apart from the others to live your own lives.” Tanomi says as Amai blushes. “Well..me before I became me was stupid then! I would kill to be that close to Urara.” She says as Kimari sighs.

“Amai..you do realize you never meet her right? At least as you are now. I doubt she’d feel that way. Honestly, I don’t think any of the Pretty Cures would have liked to have siblings randomly given to them out of nowhere. Especially if they were villains they had to beat in the past” She says as Tanomi interjects.

“Actually..Mitsuki Kun and Lillian San did just that with Yuri San and Hana San. And Phantom San actually became Yuko San’s older brother even though it's in a step brother and sister relationship.” Tanomi says as Kimari sighs. “Alright, fine I guess. But like it’d be weird to be that close with them. Heck I don’t even know if I wanna meet them. Like, I already see that Komachi girl enough in my nightmares.” She says as Marina looks at her. “Wait you to?” She questions as Tanomi looks to see Hina and Amai look up at her comment.

“Have all of you had dreams of your counterparts?” Tanomi questions as the group nods. “Yeah..I didn’t even think to ask but now that I know, is that common Tanomi?” Kimari questions as Tanomi frowns. “I am not sure. Really, I wish I could be more helpful like this but..I didn’t go through everything as you guys are now. But what were your dreams like?” She questions as Kimari thinks. “Well I was fighting her in my dark form I think. I mean I was all in green and black so I am gonna say it was.” She says as Tanomi nods.

“Well anyway I was fighting her and then she reflected my attack back at me and I fell into her arms. And then I woke up.” She says as the others nod, telling their own stories of their own fights as Tanomi thinks. “From what I know all of that is what the others told me is when they defeated you and turned you back into crystals as well as the battle I had with Shadow. So I guess it’s a dream based on that. How do you feel thinking of it?” She questions as Hina sighs.

“Annoyed. Especially when that Rin girl lectures me about friendship. Like I am not a kid stop bugging me with shit I know.” Hina says as Marina sighs. “Hina that stuff is stuff you didn’t know back then. We all didn’t know.” She says as Hina sighs. “Whatever.” She says as Tanomi frowns.

“Hina..everyone. I think you’ve all become so much more than you used to be. Even if I only knew you for a brief moment back then. Especially you Hina, you're so nice now compared to before!” She says kindly as Hina blushes but smirks. “Gee..thanks Tanomi. That’s kinda sweet of you to say.” She says as Tanomi nods.

“Yes, all of you have done so well so far at forging your own lives. If I am to be honest I am a bit jealous of how well you managed. For me..I always had Nozomi and Rin to help me..and the others in the Redemptives. But you guys had no one yet your farther along than I was early on.” Tanomi says as Amai smiles.

“Hey I think that’s cool too! Besides, you're the only one of us from back then to say no to Shadow’s BS. So you started off farther than we did.” Amai says as Tanomi smiles. “Thank you Amai.” She says as Amai flashes her a smile back.

“Regardless it’s a bit nice to hear we all have those dreams of the others. Though i’d like to know anyway to end them. It’s really annoying to have this happen as often as they do.” Marina says as Tanomi thinks before smiling. “Well maybe you guys could meet the others.” She suggested as the four looked at her. “And you could talk things out with them and maybe become friends.” She says with a smile as she thinks back to herself and Nozomi doing so in the past.

As she did, a certain blonde began to bounce in her seat. “Ahh, I would love that!” Amai says happily. “Ehh I think I'll pass. I am not really all that interested. Kinda fine to just hear about mine from Tanomi and her stories of their dates. It’s funner that way.” Hina says as Marina and Kimari sigh.

“To be honest I’m not sure either. I mean if it ends these dreams maybe but that Karen girl from what you told me sounds a bit too stuck up for me.” Marina says. “And that Komachi girl, she seems too shy for me. I don’t really like mousey girls. Heck I can barely be bothered dealing with Amai.” Kimari says as Amai pouts.

“HEY!” She yells as the group proceeds to laugh all except Tanomi as she nods. “I suppose that’s fair. Maybe, I could set up something for you and Urara San, Amai. And the rest of you when you’d be comfortable with it. Just like with my offering to join the Redemptives.” Tanomi says as the three look at her as they smile. “Thanks for understanding, Tanomi.” They all say before Amai looking at the clock above them in the park they were situated at.

“Uhh Tanomi, when did you say your train to get home was?” She questions as Tanomi frowns. “Uhh 3:00 I believe why?” She questions as Amai frowns. “It's 2:50.” She says pointing it out as the group saw the clock above reading exactly 2:50. Seeing this Tanomi frowned. “Oh dear..” She says as the group looks worried. “Shit when is the next train leaving?” Hina questions. “Uhh from my memory of when she got the ticket to go back, 5:00 I think.” Marina says as Tanomi sighs.

“That would be too late..although wait I have an idea. Do you girls happen to know where the closest library is?” She questions as Amai nods. “Oh yeah there's one nearby that I read manga in.” Amai says as Tanomi smiles. “Wonderful. Then I can show you guys a little trick.” The girl says as the four remaining former dark five girls give her a confused look.

Soon the quatro would end up in a rather low populated library and an even more deserted section. As they did Tanomi looked around and smiled. “Alright. I hope I got this down right.” Tanomi says as she moves the books in a specific order as the books soon glowed and a portal emerged in the room though one that thankfully was not very noticeable to those in sections beyond where the girls were. “Yes it worked.” Tanomi says as she turns to the four all slack jawed.

“How..how the fuck did you..” Hina questions as Tanomi gaps. “Oh right well long story short it’s a spell the Smile Pretty Cure team taught everyone else. It basically allows for travel to any part of the world. So long as you can picture where to go and use a bookshelf to take you there.” She says as the group looks shocked as Amai smiles.

“You gotta teach me that sometime!” She yells but is quieted by the others. “Of course. Although I should be going.” She says as Hina nods. “Gotcha. Oh right here's all the candy for everyone from today.” Hina says handing the girl a rather big bag the group carried with them.

“Ahh thank you, Hina. I thought I was forgetting something. Anyway, see you guys soon. I’ll text you when I can tonight after dinner.” Tanomi says as the group nods as she waves and leaves them behind the portal closing once she enters.

As the light fades though Amai looks to them. “Did anyone see what she did to do that! I wanna try it out.” Amai says as the three shake their heads. “Not now Amai. Besides, I think the people who run security would love to know how Tanomi left the library without going through the front. If we did, especially you Ms. I Love Reading Manga here. Then, they would probably have a lot of questions we don’t need to be asked.” Marina says as the others nod as Amai pouts.

“Aww but that was so cool.” Amai says before a pair of two sharp green eyes look into her own. “No.” Kimari says stoically yet with enough fear in the look to cause Amai to shut up. “Alright..” She says dejected. “Though I hope Tanomi enjoys her candy.” She says as the others nod. “Since it’s her first time eating Kenji San’s candy and given that very large hunger she has, I am sure she’ll enjoy it.” Hina says as the four all nod as they begin to leave the library and soon head to their own homes for the night.

Meanwhile, on her own end Tanomi sees the bright flash of pink from the other side of the Magical Library fade as she stands in her own room. As she smiles she opens her door and soon walks to her sister’s room knocking on the door. “Nozomi?” She questions as she hears a gasp and soon the door opens as Nozomi smiles happily. “Tanomi, your back! And early too!” Nozomi says, looking back at her clock as it reads 3:15. “I had to take the special way through the Magical Library since I missed the train. I was rather distracted hanging with the others.” She says as Nozomi smiles.

“Aww well I hope you had a good time.” She says as Tanomi nods. “Yes very much so. Oh by the way, we went to a local candy store called Yorokobi, and I bought some candy for all of us. Want to try some?” She questions holding two small bags marked with Nozomi and Tanomi’s names as Nozomi perks up. “DO I EVER!” She says as she drags her sister into the room to enjoy the sweet candy.

“Delicious!” Both Nozomi and Tanomi yelled happily as they devorered their candy with Nozomi having some chocolate as Tanomi had some gummy bears. As they finish their current treats, Nozomi smiles at her sister. “These are amazing! I really need to go to this store next time!” Nozomi says as Tanomi nods. “Of course. I am sure the others would love to take you to it. The owner is a very kind man though rather tall and strong looking, so don’t be overwhelmed by that. That is If you wish to join me next time I visit them.” She says as Nozomi nods.

“Of course! I mean not just for the candy, but also because I really wanna get to know the others. Since I only really know what you told me about them and what they were like when you guys fought us during those two times. But, I’m sure they would be really fun to hang out with!” Nozomi says as Tanomi nods. “I am sure you and Amai would get along rather well given your personalities. Though, I also think Amai would get along well with Urara as well.” Tanomi says as Nozomi smiles.

“That would be nice. Maybe I could ask her to join..oh hey wait I have an idea!” Nozomi says as Tanomi looks at her confused. “What would that be?” Tanomi questions as Nozomi smiles. “Well maybe we can ask the Mirrored Five to come and visit along with us on Karen’s Island for Golden Week!” Nozomi says as Tanomi smiles.

“Oh my I completely forgot we planned that with Karen, that would be fun..wait Mirrored Fived?” Tanomi questions as Nozomi smiles. “Hehe well it’s like the name of your group! Since you guys are like originally our reflections. Besides, it's better than calling you guys Dark Five since you guys are nice now!” Nozomi says as Tanomi smiles.

“Mirrored Five..I kinda like it. Though, I am not sure how the others would feel about that.” Tanomi says as Nozomi nods. “Yeah I guess I should run it by you guys first. But still do you think they’d wanna come?” Nozomi questions as Tanomi hums in thought. “Maybe. I know Amai certainly would but with the others, I am not sure. But I could ask. Since I really do think they should interact with the others soon.” Tanomi says as Nozomi nods.

“I think so too! Besides, I want Rin Chan and the others to make friends with them too! Cause now that they are nice, I am sure we can all be friends and get along.” Nozomi says as Tanomi smiles. “Glad we feel the same on that one.” Tanomi says as Nozomi smiles. “Of course! We are like two peas in a pod!” Nozomi says as she throws her arm around her sister’s shoulder.

Tanomi both smiles and nods to the gesture and the comment as the two sisters laugh happily together, as they continue to talk about what to do and how to tell everyone about it. All with the goal to have a fun golden week with everyone else.

And a few weeks later, Nozomi and Tanomi’s idea had come to life. Namely, as a group of six girls and three guys all stretch their bodies happily in the bright light of the sun on Karen’s private resort island. As they did, a certain older man smiled at them on a boat. “Alright Ojousama, I am going to pick Tanomi Sama and the others. Please stretch and enjoy the sun till I get back.”Jiiya says happily and warmly as Karen smiles. “Oh course, Jiiya. We will also try to start making some food for dinner, while you are gone.” Karen says as he nods and without another word, he drives off across the seas.

As he does Rin sighs. “Good thing we have a bit before the others show up.” Rin says as Karen nods. “I agree. It will be nice to mentally prepare for it. I am still unsure how this Marina girl will react to me.” Karen says as Komachi smiles. “I am just excited to see Dar..I mean Kimari again.” Komachi says as Nozomi frowns. “Ahh Komachi, don't call them those names!” Nozomi says as she frowns. “Sorry about that.” She says as Urara smiles.

“Wow, you're really taking this seriously, Nozomi.” Urara says as Nozomi smiles. “Of course. After all, I think these guys are like Tanomi. They all have grown into their own people. So calling them those old names might hurt.” Nozomi says wisely as Kurumi frowns. “I am just surprised you’d say that considering you wanted to call Tanomi, Imozon, when we were coming up with names for her.” Kurumi says as Nozomi giggles.

“I mean yeah but that was when I was silly with that stuff. I have been reading this new book on teaching focusing on the students and how words affect them. And how as a teacher I can help. So I guess it kinda triggered that.” Nozomi says as Coco smiles. “That’s wonderful, Nozomi. What made you wanna read up on that?” Coco questions as Nozomi smiles.

“Ageha Oneechan told me about that book and said it will be helpful for me in the future. And it’s really interesting! I am nearly halfway done!” Nozomi says enthusiastically as Coco smiles. As he does though the others look at each other.

“Did she just call Ageha San, Oneechan?” Kurumi questions as Rin sighs. “Yeah. Those two seem to be really close ever since Nozomi learned she was a teacher. Nozomi says she’s like the older sister she never had.” Rin says as Urara smiles.

“Wow, that's amazing. I wish I had someone like that!” Urara says Karen sweat drops. “It’s certainly interesting.” Karen says as Komachi giggles while Nuts and Syrup look and sigh as they see Coco and Nozomi discussing this book, happily unaware of their friends' conversations.

Out on the sea, though, a colorful group of four stand on a boat as it clears through the calm seas like a knife through butter. Tanomi happily stares out at the sea as it flows through her hair as Amai giggles as it does the same for her. “The wind tickles when we go this fast.” Amai says as Tanomi nods. “Yes, but I think it’s rather pleasant. Don’t you think so too guys?” Tanomi questions as she turns to Kimari and Marina who both stand to the side of the boat’s interior.

“Eh it’s alright. Though never been the biggest fan of the ocean. How about you, Marina?” Kimari questions as Marina shrugs. “Ehh I guess the ocean is fine. Though we are going too fast to see any of the animals.” Marina says as Tanomi looks confused. “Oh I suppose that’s fair. Were you looking forward to seeing any Marina?” Tanomi questions as the girl blushes. “I..no not particularly. Maybe like a shark or something cool though.” Marina says as Kimari smirks.

“Smooth.” She says as Marina glares at the green. As the two do so Amai looks confused toward their fifth member sitting in the interior of the boat. “Hey Hina, come on out here and see the water! It’s so cool! And the breeze is so nice!” Amai says as the girl shakes her head as Tanomi looks to her suddenly quiet friend. “Hina? Are you okay?” She questions as the reddish orange haired girl shakes her head.

“Huh?” The two girls look perplexed as Marina speaks up. “If I’m remembering that field trip we had to the aquarium correctly, I think I might know. Hina, you're afraid of the ocean aren’t you?” She questions as Hina blushes. “I..no! I’m not!” She says as Kimari smirks. “Then come out on deck and see the water out here with the rest of us.” Kimari says as Hina blushes.

“Uh..no I don’t wanna cause..I am hungry and wanted to have some of this food!” She says before eating some bread she had on a plate. Though her acting wasn’t particularly convincing as Tanomi frowned. “Oh dear..I didn't think she was gonna be this scared. Maybe this was a bad idea.” Tanomi says as Amai smiles. “Don’t worry Tanomi. Hina wanted to come to the island in spite of her fear, so I am sure she can brave it. Besides, once we get there, she won’t have to deal with the ocean for a while.” Amai says as Kimari smirks.

“Or we could throw her into the ocean when she’s asleep to get her to enjoy it.” Kimari says as Hina stands. “Oi say that to my face!” She yells as Kimari smirks. “Only if you come out here first.” She says as Hina growls as Marina chuckles and Amai laughs. As she does Tanomi looks at her friends and smiles a bit at their interactions. “Everyone!” She and the others hear as they look up to see the man transporting them here as he smiles at them. “We shall be at the island very soon! Prepare to dock!” He yells as the group of five nod and go into their areas where their bags are as the boat begins to slow.

And once it comes to a halt, Jiiya jumps off the top of the boat and starts to wrap around the boat’s mooring line. As he does so he also lets the bridge fall down as Tanomi and the others walk off and bask at the island happily. As they did though they heard a voice yell out as a figure slowly rushed to them. Her magenta hair makes it clear who it is for Tanomi as the others look on in intrigue. “Tanomi! Everyone!” She yells as she continues to rush before.

“Ah..” She says as she trips over her legs and she goes tumbling to everyone as Tanomi and the others yell out and move to the side as the pink bowling ball rolls and rolls until. “Ahh!” She yells as she nearly falls into the water near the boat as Tanomi reaches out and grabs her hand. As she does she pulls her up and lets her down as the girl breathes in and out. “Ah..thanks Tanomi, hehe sorry about that.” Nozomi says as Tanomi smiles. “Of course.” She says as the four other redeemed dark cures look at the magenta haired girl as Amai smiles.

“You must be Nozomi San, right?” She says as Nozomi soon stands up and smiles. “Ahh right sorry about that. I am Nozomi Yumehara! Nice to meet you!!” She says happily with a bright smile as Hina looks at her. “My god, Tanomi was telling the truth.” Hina says as Marina and Kimari nod.

“She really is clumsy.” The two say as Nozomi blushes and falls over in embarrassment. “Ahh..Tanomi!” She yells as her sister looks at her nervously. “I didn’t just tell them that!” Tanomi yells in defense as Amai smiles. “Yeah she said you were the nicest and sweetest girl she ever met!” Amai says as Nozomi smirks. “Oh..well uh hehe.” She says as she puffs out her chest and smiles pridefully.

“Well her and my counterpart..uh Ran I think her name is.” Hina says as Nozomi puffs out her air of pride as Tanomi giggles. “Hina, her name is Rin.” Tanomi says as Hina blushes. “Oh well uh sorry still not good with names.” She says as Nozomi giggles. “Oh right. I should probably bring you guys to Rin Chan and the others.” Nozomi says as the group nods.

“Yes, everyone. You should go and see the others while I finish docking the boat and grabbing the supplies I had from the second trip.” Jiiya says as the girls all nod as Amai smiles. “Okay, lead the way Nozomi.” Amai says as Nozomi nods as the group follows after her.

“I figured I heard you crash into something.” Kurumi says annoyed as she opens the door for Nozomi and the others as she giggles as her, Tanomi and the other four all enter the room. Inside, they see a few couches and tables next to them as a group of four other girls and three guys sit together with tea set up. As they enter though, the four girls all stand and look at the four new girls as Nozomi and Tanomi watch on with intrigue as the counterparts all face each other.

“Good day everyone. Welcome to my family’s resort. I am glad to see you could all come.” Karen says as she smiles at Marina. “You are Marina Akua San correct? I am Karen Minazuki.” She says politely as she offers her hand as Marina looks a bit taken aback. “Oh uh yes..but don’t use any honorifics with me. I am not really the biggest fan of it.” Marina says as Karen nods.

“Understood, Marina.” She says as Kimari and Komachi look at each other. “I hope your trip here was not a problem.” The Pretty Cure of Tranquility says as Kimari nods. “Oh yeah it was alright well except for Hina being afraid of the water. But umm your Komachi..Akimoto right?” She questions awkwardly as she smiles. “Yes, and you are Kimari Midori San, right?” She says with a pleasant smile as her counterpart nods. “It’s nice to meet you again.” She says as Kimari nods. “Uh same.” She says as she smiles back though a bit awkwardly at the happy look that she gave her.

Still as she watches this, Tanomi soon frowns seeing Urara and Amai’s interaction. Once she walks up to her, Amai stands like a statue. Rather unlike her normal bubbly self as Urara looked confused but smiled. “Your Amai Yuzu, right?” She questions as Amai straightens out. “YES!” She yells as Urara looks a bit shocked by how loud she was as Amai laughs.

“I..yes I am Amai Yuzu..and you ar..are..Kasu..Kasugano..U..R..A..R.” She says nervously as Urara smiles. “Kasugano Urara. At your service.” She says with a cute pose as Amai smiles. “I..it’s so awesome to meet you. I..love your..work.” She says blushing as Urara smiles.

“I have heard from Tanomi. Thank you for the support. I am glad to have you as a fan. And hopefully a friend.” Urara says as she holds onto Amai’s hands as Amai blushes. “I..yes! I would love to..if you want to.” She says as Urara smiles as the two giggle though Amai does so nervously.

As Tanomi watches this, another member of this group sighs. “Jeez guys. Way to make us look bad.” She says with a sigh as she turns to Rin. Rin gives the girl a unsure look as Hina smirks. “What’s up, the name Hina Kona. And your Rin right? Tanomi told me a lot about you.” She says as she offers her hand as Rin looks at her a bit taken aback but nods.

“Uh yeah, nice to meet you Hina.” Rin says as she shakes Hina’s hand though a bit slowly and weakly. Something the girl notices. “Hey c'mon give it some more power behind that. You're an athlete right. Don’t shake like Amai over there.” Hina jokes as Amai pouts at her as Rin looks a bit taken aback by her comment. “Right..” She says though her voice has a hint of annoyance at the girl's attitude.

“Everyone..the burgers are almost done.” The group of four new people hear as they turn along with the others as a boy with brown hair and an orange outfit appears. As he does he turns to the others. “Oh the others are here too.” He says as Hina takes her hand away from Rin and looks to him as the other three look equally worried.

“What the hell!” Hina yells as the others all look to the four as they both glare and look at Syrup confused. “What..the hell. Why does he sound like Shadow?!” Kimari questions Syrup as the entire group gasps. That is before Nozomi gaps the loudest. “Huh..I never thought about it..but you do kinda sound like him, Syrup.” Nozomi says as the boy looks offended. “Syrup?” The group of four questions as Tanomi looks at them.

“Oh well this boy is Syrup. He’s our friend and a fairy partner to us.” She says as Hina and the others look shocked. “Alright..that’s so weird and uncanny. He sounds just like that creep.” Marina says as the others nod. “Well I can assure you I am not like him in any way besides that. Trust me, I had to fight the jerk by myself with Coco and the other fairies during that Black Hole Incident.” Syrup says as Kimari looks confused.

“You and a group of fairies took on Shadow? By yourselves?” She questions as Syrup nods. “Yes.” He says as Marina looks confused. “Okay no offense, but how did a bunch of weak fairies beat a guy who absolutely wrecked Tanomi as a Pretty Cure before she got the power from those crystals?” Marina questions as Kurumi growls. “Hey! I will let you know we fairies are not helpless!” Kurumi yells as Marina looks at her.

“Wait..you're one of them too, shortie?” She questions as Kurumi glares. “Shortie!!” She yells as Marina nods. “Yeah 'cause you're shorter than most of us. Besides, Amai and Urara. And I call her that sometimes so I figured I’d call you that too.” She says as Kurumi glares at her. “I have never..” Kurumi says as Karen places a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder.

“Kurumi, calm down.” She says as Marina sighs. “Yeah common, it isn’t that bad. Being short can have its good points.” Marina says as Kurumi growls. “Oh yeah, well how about I called you Dark Aqua!” Kurumi yells annoyed as Marina looks at her shocked.

“Kurumi!” Nozomi and Karen yell as Marina’s expression turns to a glare. “Hey, not cool. That’s not my name anymore. Don’t call me that.” She says as Rin sighs. “Well you did start it.” Rin says offhandedly as Tanomi looks at her. “Rin.” Tanomi said, as she was hurt by her girlfriend's words as Hina looked at Rin.

“What do you mean by that? You do realize that Marina called you friend by a name that means nothing. Your friend called her a name she doesn't associate with anymore. How’s that fair?” She questions as Rin sighs. “Well, it’s just her old name anyway. Just embrace it. It isn’t that big of a deal.” Rin says as Tanomi looks shocked at her while Hina’s glare at her increases.

“Oh so then you must call Tanomi, Dark Dream all the time, right? Cause it’s not that big a deal right?” She questions as Rin glares. “Of course it is! Because unlike you she remembers who she was back then and what she did.” She says as Tanomi looks to Rin shocked by her attitude. “Rin..” She says sadly before Hina speaks up.

“Oh okay. Well guess what. I and the others do too! Thank you very much, Cure Rouge! We keep getting stupid nightmares of Shadow kidnapping us, as well as us fighting and being killed by you and the others! So I can assure you we remember who we were back then!” Hina yells as Rin glares at her, while the other Mirrored Five look at Hina, even Marina, as they frown hearing that comment.

“Well maybe you all deserve to have those nightmares after what you did to us! Heck, maybe you four should have stayed dead too! Ever think of that?!” Rin yells passionately yet angrily as the entire room goes silent. Nozomi, Tanomi and the other Yes 5 Pretty Cures aside from Kurumi look surprised and horrified as Amai, Kimari, and Marina all shift to hurt and even angered expressions. But none worse than Hina as she grits her teeth and shakes as her hands close into a fist. “Alright, listen here, you little bitc..” Hina begins to yell before the door to the living room area opens.

“Oh everyone, sorry for taking so long with the boat docking. Although, I can smell the food from the docking bay so let me grab the food and I can serve it to you along with some nice drinks we have prepared. The table should be set, right Syrup San?” Jiiya says as Syrup wordlessly nods. “Alright then. Take a seat everyone.” He says, completely unaware of the energy in the room as he soon leaves to the outer balcony area.

As he does, Hina, Kimari, and Marina look to Rin and Kurumi as the trio glares at the duo before they look away and slowly head to the balcony. As they do, Nozomi looks to Tanomi only to see her sister's typical gentle yet happy smile had been completely shifted to a sad, and even embarrassed look before she looks down to the ground. As she does she and the others all wordlessly head to the table for an evening that hopefully would spell less rage than that conversation.

Later, after a rather uneventful and slightly quiet dinner, the groups had broken away since it was getting rather late in the evening. Both of the groups of the girls had decided to room together due to the room being rather large. Each one is now able to fit five to six of the large beds typically in one room. As for the guys, they roomed in a completely separate room as well as Jiiya in his own room.

As they had called it a night to separate from their rooms, both of the girls' rooms were buzzing with talks as the Yes 5 room had Karen taking a shower in the special bathroom attached to the room. Meanwhile, Urara sat brushing her hair after her own shower, Nozomi sat next to her helping to use a mirror to allow her to see what she was doing. Meanwhile, Komachi was silently writing in her notebook of new ideas for stories she had on the way to the island. And finally Kurumi and Rin..were discussing the current events of the night.

“The nerve of those girls! Honestly, I knew they were gonna be rude but I figured Karen’s counterpart would have been a bit like her even just a little bit.” Kurumi says as Rin nods. “Exactly.” Rin says as Nozomi frowns and looks at her. “Rin Chan..I think you might have been a bit mean back there saying they deserved to die and all.” Nozomi says as Rin frowns but looks down.

“Alright, look I might’ve gone too far with that, but they started it.” Rin says. “Yeah but Tanomi and Amai as well as the others all looked really sad or mad during dinner because of what you said.” Urara says as Rin gives a guilty look as she sighs.

“Maybe..maybe I should apologize.” Rin says as Kurumi sighs. “I suppose but I feel they should just accept being your dark counterparts, that’s what Tanomi did after all.” Kurumi says as the door to the bathroom opens as Karen walks out in her Pjs and a towel around her hair. And her expression showed disapproval as she looked at Kurumi.

“Do you honestly feel you should force them to accept something like that, Kurumi?” Karen questions as Kurumi looks at her girlfriend. “I mean..yes. It’s gonna help them in the long run. Like with all the Redemptives.” She says as Karen sighs.

“Maybe. Still we need to make a better impression on them tomorrow. We are together with them all break. It’s best to try and make it an enjoyable experience.” Karen says as the group nods. All the while Nozomi looks to the wall as if to visualize her sister and if she’s feeling better or not given her silence and blank face both during and after dinner.

“That Bitch! How could she say that!” Hina yelled as she paced around the room. Marina sitting on one of the beds with a bored look, Kimari on her own with an equally annoyed look, all the while Tanomi frowns from her own bed. “Now Hina..” Tanomi starts before Hina looks at her.

“Tanomi..please tell me that you're not seriously gonna tell me Rin wasn’t in the wrong for what she said back there?” Hina questions as the girl turns silent but looks down. “I..Rin..” She says before the group heard sniffling as they looked to see the magenta haired girl letting tears fall before she spoke again. “I..don’t approve of what she said to you. And I am so sorry she did say that, to all of you. But..I think she was caught in the heat of the moment. I am sure in the morning she will realize what she said was wrong, and apologize.” Tanomi says as Hina looks at her with a sad expression.

“Tanomi..look alright..in the morning if she does apologize i’ll try to accept it. But if she starts that shit again, I'm gonna let her have it.” Hina says as Tanomi nods without a word as the others all sigh. However, soon the tension is broken as Amai exits the bathroom with a towel over her hair and wearing a cute pair of yellow and black PJs. “Ahh I tell you girls, that shower was heavenly. The water felt so good!” Amai says as the group looks up to her mostly due to the sudden tone shift as Hina sighed. “Maybe I should go next to get off some steam.” She says as Marina, Kimari, and Tanomi all nod for her to go next as she takes a towel from the rack as well as her sleeping wear and walks into the bathroom closing it behind her. As she does Amai looks at Tanomi.

“Hey Tanomi, you okay?” She questions as the girl soon looks up and flashes her a smile. “Oh..me. Yes, yes I am fine Amai. How are you feeling?” She questions with a very painfully obvious fake smile, but Amai smiles a genuine one back. “I’m good. Just hopefully tomorrow can go a bit better than tonight.” She says as Tanomi nods. “Yes..I would like that very much.” She says as Amai looks and then gasps.

“OH SHIT! I almost forgot!” She yells as she rushes over to her bed where her suitcase was. As she throws some clothes out of it, the other three gather around her. “What did you forget this time Amai? Your toothbrush?” Kimari jokes as Amai looks away from the suitcase and frowns. “Hey! That was only during that School Sleepover in Nara!” Amai yells annoyed. “Nara?” Tanomi questions as Marina smirks. “Another field trip we had last year. We normally go on two.” She says as Amai frowns as she continues to look.

“But anyway no I wasn’t looking for that. I was looking for this!” She yells before from her suitcase emerges a doll in both her hands. As she presents it with all the passion she could muster. As they look at it each gives a different expression, Marina a roll of the eye, Tanomi a puzzled look, and Kimari a sigh. “Amai..you cannot be seriously thinking of giving Karen that, for letting us stay here.” Kimari says as Amai frowns. “Well yeah! It's a water themed plushie, so why not give it to Karen?” Amai questions as the other two sigh.

“Um..what is that plushy from exactly?” Tanomi questions as she examines the doll. It had a purple color blob like creature with two small arms, no legs, and two antennae at the top. It had cute buttons like eyes colored orange and white respectively with eyelashes colored orange at the top. And in its center was a green colored gem of some kind also used by an attached button.

As Tanomi questions, Amai gaps. “Wait! Have you never heard of Chielfin?” She questions as Tanomi shakes her head. “No..sorry.” She says as Amai smiles. “Well it’s a little creature from Pouchmonsters!” She says as Tanomi looks confused. “Pouchmonster?” She questions as Kimari speaks up.

“It’s from a kinda new series that’s kinda popular in our city and a few other cities in Japan. It’s about humans living with small fairy-like creatures that use stones to hold onto them after befriending them. They can then be used for general transportation, fighting others with them for sports, or simply to keep as pets.” Kimari says as Marina and Amai look at her shocked.

“How do you know all of that? Do you like the series too!?” Amai questions as Kimari shakes her head. “No, just my little brother plays it and asks me to watch the show with him sometimes. The show is not for me, but the action is cool sometimes.” She says as Amai frowns. “Aww darn. But anyway Tanomi, Chielfin is a rare pouchmonster under the fabled classification! But they are cute little water-like spirits that live in lakes or small bodies of water. And they have the power to spirit trade other creatures to make them understand each other better. As well as just being an adorable baby in one of the movies. She’s like a purple fish of happiness!” Amai says as Tanomi smiles.

“Well that would be a nice gift for Karen. Even if I am not sure she has heard of it. Though that series seems interesting.” Tanomi says as Amai smiles. “Hey then let me teach you more!” She says enthusiastically before taking Tanomi’s hand, throwing everything in her suitcase again, and then taking out a small game system. “Ahh you are gonna love this series, Tanomi!” Amai says happily as Tanomi looks at her friend and gives for the first time in a few hours, a genuine smile as she nods.

“I hope so.” She says as she thanks Amai in her head for bringing her out of this mood. Perhaps this trip wouldn’t be so bad after all. What with this peace offering to give to others which might help to lessen the stress on everyone. However, as Tanomi and the others would soon find out, this gift would be truly fitting for a loving yet devious creature such as Chielfin. Especially as outside a swirling of black particles is hidden in the night time darkness as it seemingly observes the situation inside.

Notes:

And done!

So with this chapter a lot of it is setting up but I did wanna make note of some things. Firstly, Tanomi's appetite! So this might be a bit out of nowhere but it's been a trait I have had in my head for how she reacts to food since learning what it is back when she got her name. So I figured why not give her some scenes to show she's just as bad as her sis. Though she is at least conscious to it.

Next, we have the setting! Why did I make it the resort? Well during the work I did with this fic I have been slowly rewatching all of Yes 5 (My first season I rewatched from start to finish! Including the movie!) and I thought the location would be really fun to play with given it offers a more natural kinda environment!

Following that I suppose I have to bring attention to Rin's comments and the fight itself. Now when it came to this fic I knew I wanted some tension and you will see later why I choose Rin and Kurumi for those to dish it out (Though people who have read my other fics probably know why Rin feels such a way). But I do admit that yes Rin and Kurumi are in the wrong. But just that they have a reason to act as they do here!

Then we also have Syrup's thing...yeah I just never knew how to adress the he has the same voice as Shadow thing. Originally I wanted Tanomi to address it but it kinda got lost in the shuffle of everything else. Still I hope you liked me acknowledging it.

Finally, we have the purple angel fairy sized elephant in the room. So with Chielfin, yep it's basically a Manaphy parody. Mostly since it's my favorite mythical pokemon and has a certain feature about it that Chielfin may or may not have as well ;) But as for it's name it's just synonyms for Manaphy's name. Namely, Chi in replacing Mana, and instead of Fea or Phy as it's name is spelled it has Elfin! But yeah I really wanted to make a pokemon parody for this universe especially since as I said before Precure isn't shy with other parodies. Should it have been a Digimon since Precure is made by Toei? Umm yes but technically their is no Digimon to my knowledge with these powers. So I had to go with Pokemon.

Hehe anyway with that said I hope you enjoy this and chapter 2! The other chapters should be up soon! At least before the end of the month!

Chapter 2: Friction Sparking and BODY SWAPPING?

Summary:

Looking at yourself in the mirror already can be bizarre but looking at yourself without a mirror is a new kinda experience for this team!

Notes:

So given the tag I added with this chapter you probably know where this is going so umm enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“Princess Kurumi?” Kurumi heard as she turned. In a field of colorful roses of all kinds she soon saw a figure riding to her on a white horse. As the figure halted their stead, she looked up to see a beautiful woman with long gorgeous blue hair with the most caring compassionate eyes. As she looks towards her, the purple haired girl blush.

“Ka..Karen Sama. To what do I owe this pleasure?” She questions courteously as the girl smiled. “I am here to take you on the ride of your life.” She says happily as Kurumi’s face brightens into a large smile that would give Nozomi and Tanomi competition. As she does so she nods. “Of course.” She says as she takes the hand of her partner and sits behind her on the glorious stead.

“Now then..hang on.” She says as Kurumi nods, resting her head on the woman's back as Karen causes the horse to move once more. As the two frolicked through the flower field, petals of all shapes and colors floated around them as Kurumi felt she was in total and complete bliss. That was before a noise was heard. It started small but it soon picked up in octaves.

As she heard this she looked to her left and right and couldn’t make it out. But as it grew in volume she started to grow annoyed. “What is that racket!” She yelled as it only grew louder as her perfect dream was beginning to be eroded. The flower field faded and even Karen did as Kurumi growled.

All before her eyes opened and she was greeted to a familiar ceiling. A nicely colored white stared down at her as she raised her body from her bed. Her annoyed expression from the end of her dream was still apparent as she looked around and soon laid eyes on a magenta haired girl.

“Nozomi! How dare you wake me from my dream because of your idiotic..sno..ring?” She questioned as she saw the normal very all over the place girl known for snoring during sleepovers, now silently sleeping in a comfy looking position with a passive smile on her face. If she wasn’t looking at Nozomi, Kurumi would admit such an expression was cute or even angelic.

Yet as she looked at her the noise she heard in her dream persisted. “Geez if it wasn’t you it must be Rin or Urara or..” Kurumi says before she picks up where the noise is coming from as she soon gets up. As she does, a shocked expression is seen on her face as she stares in disbelief. The noise she heard and identified as snoring was truly snoring..but it was not from one of them but two. And the two it was coming from left the girl mortified.

One was a green haired girl, Komachi Akimoto, the Pretty Cure of Tranquility. And yet tranquility was the last thing to describe this girl's snoring. It was loud, obnoxious and oddly deep despite the girl’s normally high and soft octave. And her position was spread out with her arms and legs looking more like a turtle trying to get up than a person in the midst of sleep. Such a sight would normally arouse complete befuddlement from the girl, yet the other one snoring was far far worse.

It was Karen. Though she could hardly recognize it as her. Sure she had the same blue luxurious hair she knew and loved, and wore the same adorable PJs that Karen had worn during their last sleepover. But her normally angelic and melodious voice was letting out the most ear grating noise Kurumi ever heard.

Even Mana’s singing would pale in comparison to the attrious melody of noises she made as she snored. Heck, she was sure even the Melody of Sorrows that she heard about from the Suite Pretty Cure team would be pleasurable. And worse of all it made no sense to the girl.

Her refined girlfriend would never sleep in such a way. Karen had a grace within her that kept going even when her mind was out of it. And yet she was snoring like a troll and with a body positioning that astounded her as her arms were behind her back and her legs were spread in such an undignified manner.

Sure the covers and the face she wore a pair of PJs to bed instead of a skirt made it a bit more dignified. But such a pose and noise from her girlfriend was entirely confusing, baffling, and completely nonsensical to the girl.

But soon her expression changed as she laughed nervously. “I..must be asleep. Yes I woke up from my pleasant dream into a nightmare where everything is topsy turvy!” Kurumi expressed as she laughed a bit. Surely, she’d wake up soon to Nozomi’s normal snoring, Karen and Komachi sleeping like the dignified women they are. But as she laughed a voice perked up.

“Um..Kurumi?” She heard as she soon saw Nozomi now sitting up in her bed, hand rubbing her eyes as she gave her a confused look. “Ahh..oh no matter Dream Nozomi. I shall soon be done with you. Farwell.” She says closing her eyes and walking to her bed before attempting to fall back asleep.

“Dream Nozomi?” She heard as she opened her eyes once more as Nozomi still looked to her in confusion as the same horrifying noise escaped the lips of her girlfriend, and her best friend. As she heard this she sat up in befuddlement.

“What..what is the meaning of this..is this not a dream? Is this some kinda prank?” She questioned as Nozomi looked at her and then sat up and explored the same spots that Kurumi’s eyes saw before as she gasped. “Oh my..I wasn’t aware Karen or Komachi snored like Kimari and Marina.” She says which would normally confuse the girl given what she said as well as the rather odd way Nozomi worded it from her normal manner of speech. But instead Kurumi ignored both things she heard as she grumbled.

“They do not! Don’t you remember our countless sleepovers? If anything you are always the one to do so!” Kurumi whispered as Nozomi gave her a confused look. “But I have only had one sleepover with you guys. Also..I don’t believe I snore. Rin said that Nozomi does..but she never said I do.” Nozomi says as Kurumi gives a confused look.

Surely, her dream had hit peak levels of confusion as now Nozomi’s behavior was far too bizarre. Her tone, and inflections sounded alien in Nozomi’s voice, and even so her demeanor was calm and passive. Not annoyed and grumpy at Kurumi taking a needed but still rather blunt shot at her.

And even more alarmingly, she said Rin..without the honorific of Chan. While Nozomi and her usage of honorifics was deplorable in a lot of cases for Kurumi, namely with Coco Sama and Nuts Sama being referred to by their names without such titles they earned, she did have one consistent one. Rin was always called Rin Chan. Even though of the group Rin was the one Nozomi should be close enough to for it to be appropriate to call by just her name, Nozomi wouldn’t stop it. So much so her own twin sister at first called Rin such before Rin put the kibosh on that. It was admittedly a bit cute to the girl in an endearing way that Nozomi always seemed to have about her, yet not hearing it made her look at Nozomi, as if she were an alien.

As she did, Nozomi frowned. “Is everything okay Kurumi?” She questioned as Kurumi frowned. “I..don’t know anymore.” She says as Nozomi nods. “I see..although..now that I think of it..why are you in our room? I assumed you stayed in the room with Nozomi.” Nozomi says as Kurumi once again looked at her in confusion as she continued.

“Though now that I look at it, it appears I am in the room with the rest of you, given Karen and Komachi. Except for Nozomi.” She says looking around in confusion. “No..Nozomi..why..” Kurumi says, baffled at what she was seeing before Nozomi noticed something around her neck. “I..this is..Nozomi’s necklace? But why do I have it around my neck? And why am I wearing Nozomi’s PJs?” Nozomi once again said as she soon stood up and observed herself.

“Nozomi..are you okay?” She questioned as Nozomi turned to her. “No..you think I am Nozomi? Kurumi, I thought you could tell us apart by now. Though given what I am wearing I assume that’s fair.” She says as Kurumi’s eyes wide in. “T..Tanomi.” She says as Nozomi looks at her and nods. “Yes, Kurumi?” She says as Kurumi soon stands up. “Wait! If you..then that means..oh god.” She says as she starts to look around as “Nozomi” looks to her confused.

“Is everything okay, Kurumi?” She questioned as Kurumi looked to the room’s mirror proudly hung above the large dresser. “Ta..Tanomi please look at your reflection.” She says as “Nozomi” nods and walks over only to have her eyes pop out and her mouth go agape before Tanomi turns to Kurumi. “What..no way..I look just like..Nozomi..oh no..” She says as she looks to Kurumi as her fears are realized.

“Did..did me and her switch bodies? Like when Kotoha used her magic during Halloween?” Tanomi questions still freaking out as Kurumi frowned. “It would appear to be the case but..if that’s the case then..then…” Kurumi says as she looks towards Komachi and Karen who were still snoring. “You're not the only one.” She said before.

“TANOMI! EVERYONE!” The duo and the whole room heard before from the door emerges Tanomi’s body with her eyes large and fear radiating from her expression. “Ugh..was that Tanomi yelling?” Komachi questions in a gruff yet alarmed voice as she, Karen, Rin, and Urara all open their eyes and face the girl as she looks at them with Tanomi’s body giving a worried look.

“Rin Chan..I think..you were right.” Tanomi’s body says before laying eyes on Tanomi in Nozomi’s body as Tanomi looks surprised. “Nozomi?” She questions worriedly as the girl nods before Hina enters, looking toward the group and placing a hand on her head in frustration. “Great just fucking great! Why did this shit happen to us, AGAIN!” Hina yells as Rin looks at her. “Wait..why am I over there!” She yells as the other three soon see a very nervous looking Kimari enter, a rather baffled looking Marina, and an Amai who was nervously giggling at the situation. “WAIT, what am I doing over there?” The other three in the room yelled as Kurumi could feel a migraine starting up in her head.

“So..let me get this straight.” Coco says as he, Kurumi, Nuts, and Syrup sat on one of the couches in the living room area of Karen’s family resort. One another was Nozomi and the other Yes 5 members and the other couch sat Tanomi and the other former Dark Five members. “You..are Nozomi..and you are Tanomi?” Coco questions pointing to Tanomi’s body who nods with an anxious look and then Nozomi’s body who nods nervously. “You..are Komachi and you are Kimari?” Nuts questions pointing to Kimari’s body who has a gentle if worried look, and then Komachi’s body who gives him a nod yet with an annoyed expression. “You are Urara and you are Amai?” Syrup says pointing to Amai’s body who gives a nod, while Urara’s body who nods though blushes a bit as well. “And you are Karen, and you are..Marina?” Kurumi questions as she points to Marina’s body who gives a nod and a reassuring smile to Kurumi, though it falls on deaf ears as Karen’s body gives her an annoyed look but nods. “And it seems me and Hina..are switched to. Just like me and Tsubomi from last time this happened” Rin says in Hina’s body sounding annoyed as Hina looks at her.

“That’s the second time you said this shit happened to you before? Do you know how to reverse it then?” Hina asked hopefully as Coco sighs. “We..didn’t cause it to happen last time.” He says as Nozomi perks up. “Yeah, Rin Chan. Last time it was Kotoha who did it.” Nozomi says as Hina looks at her. “Kotoha..who the heck is that? Also, Nozomi I'm Hina not Rin.” She says as Nozomi nods.

“Ahh shoot! Sorry force of habit hehe.” Nozomi says as Rin sighs. “Try not to say chan when saying my name. Hearing Tanomi call me that has always been weird. Especially if it’s you in her body.” Rin says as Nozomi nods. “Right Rin..” She says before her eyes widened as she placed a hand over her mouth to avoid saying chan. Which looked rather adorable in Tanomi’s body but ignoring that the rest of the room sighs.

“Alright so who is this Kotoha girl then? Can she switch us back?” Kimari questioned, annoyed at the situation as Komachi frowns. “I don't think we can get in contact with those girls. I think they are in the magical world during Golden Week. And even then I am not sure this was done by them.” Komachi says as Syrup sighs. “Unless, they randomly decided to play a prank on us out of nowhere.” He says as the group sighs before they hear footsteps.

“Ahh Ojosama you're up, and your friends are as well it seems.” They heard Jiiya enter. As he does the room tenses a bit as they wait for someone to open her mouth. But Marina does not look at the others and the man. “Ahem..yes Jiiya San, we woke up a bit early it seems. Right, Karen?” Karen says though in a rather positive and overly polite demeanor that sounded foreign from Marina’s voice, as Marina in Karen’s body looks and then registers what she is saying. “Right..um Jiiya.” She says with a smile and a rather shaky voice as he nods smiling to her

“I see. Do you wish for me to start to prepare breakfast for you girls?” He questions as Marina nods. “Ah we can help you with that Jiiya San. While the girls get um changed out of their Pjs.” Coco says as Nuts and Syrup nod as the girl’s eyes all collectively go wide in realization.

“Very well. I believe we have everything we need stocked up in the fridge. Now I wish to start by preparing..” Jiiya says as the boys escort the butler into the kitchen as the girls all collectively sigh and then groin at the prospect before them as Kurumi stands up. “Alright let’s get this over with and get ready for the day.” She says as the groups both nod.

Once, upstairs both sets of girls go into their own room to pick out a typical outfit to wear that day for their swapped counterparts. As they did and got fully changed both teams assessed themselves. Tanomi wore Nozomi’s usual outfit, Hina wore Rin’s usual outfit, Amai wore Urara’s usual outfit, Kimari wore Komachi’s usual outfit though a bit annoyed by it, and Marina wore Karen’s usual outfit. Nozomi wore Tanomi’s usual outfit of a pink t-shirt, black skirt, and leggings. Rin wore Hina’s usual outfit of a red shoulderless t shirt with logo on it for her family's restaurant, with black shorts and black socks. Urara wore a yellow and black hoodie with cute white and yellow colored leggings. Komachi wore a green tank top with a black jacket around her shoulders, with long black sweatpants and socks, as the girl looked a bit uncomfortable. Finally, Karen wore a blue and black metal themed t-shirt, black jean jacket and jeans.

“You look good in my normal outfit, Tanomi. I gotta say I really like your top, it’s so soft!” Nozomi says as Tanomi smiles. “I can show you where I got it from with mom when we get back to normal. So you can buy your own if you want?” Tanomi says as Nozomi smiles. “This uhh outfit you have is more girly than I'd imagined for you Rin.” Hina says as she messes with her top at bit which was more soft than she’d imagine Rin would wear.
“Ehh it’s not that bad. Uhh your outfits are nice too.” Rin says awkwardly trying to not feel the air on her now exposed shoulders.

“I love your outfit Amai! It’s so cute! You gotta tell me where you got these leggings from! I've never seen a design like it!” She says as Amai giggles nervously. “Oh that’s just because my grandma helped to make it for me.” She says as Urara smiles. “I see. How is my outfit?” She questions as Amai smiles. “It’s really nice. I feel very cute in it.” She says blushing as Urara smiles. “Glad to hear it.” She says as Kimari sighs. “Yeah..I guess I kinda feel the same. Though I feel like I'm going to a fancy dinner given this dressy outfit you have.” Kimari says as Komachi nods. “I see. If you want I can see if you want a different outfit, though I don’t know if I have anything in your..umm style.” She says nervously gesturing to her outfit which the girl had a rather closed off and uncomfortable look to her given it’s more tight feel and yet athletic look.

“Naw it’s cool..I think I can manage this.” She says though her voice defeats her stoic look by sounding rather unsure. “How are you holding up Karen?” Marina questions obviously uncomfortable by Karen’s dressy attire but trying to not be rude, as Karen gives a slight smile. “Oh it’s nice. I didn’t know you were into music even if I never heard of this band.” Karen says gesturing to the shirt with the title Crossfaith as Marina smirks. “Yeah it’s one of my favorites. You should listen to the music sometime when you get the chance.” She says as Kurumi decked out in her normal attired frown.

“Once we solve this situation that is. Speaking of which, did any of you notice anything that could have caused it in either of your rooms?” Kurumi questioned as the Mirrored Five and Yes 5 teams both shook their heads. “Can’t say I did. Though, Amai was looking around nervously after getting her outfit out. So did you notice anything weird?” Marina questions as Amai blushes. “Oh right, so Urara San. Did you see a uhh plushy in my bed when you woke up this morning?” She questions as Urara shakes her head. “Not particularly. Do you think it could have fallen down the bed?” She questions as Amai shakes her head.

“No it couldn’t have. I check all over my bed. And the others don’t see it on their end either.” Amai says as Kurumi sighs. “Is this really important right now given our current situation?” She questions as Amai frowns. “Well no..but it’s just a special gift I wanted to give Karen San for letting us sleep over and hang out with you guys.” Amai says as Kurumi’s expression turns to a slight smile. “That’s really sweet of you Amai San. But really you didn’t have to.” Karen says as Amai smiles. “I know but I thought Chielfin would..” Amai says before her eyes went wide in realization.

“Wait..Chielfin..oh god did it do this?” Amai questions as the group looks confused. “Do what?” Karen questions, as Tanomi gaps as well. “Amai..you said it had the power to spirit trade with others? Does that mean it switches people’s bodies?” Tanomi says as Amai nods nervously as the whole room lit up. “But that’s impossible! It’s just a plush doll..how could it…” Kurumi says before the Yes 5 girls all collectively had an idea.

“Oh no! Those Black Hole Particulates could have gotten to it.” Rin says as Karen looks worried. “That might be true. Ahh I believe we have a security room a few rooms down. It has a view of all the balconies. If it took possession of this doll then it might be from there.” Karen says as the group soon all hightailed it to the room as Karen soon played the camera feed from the previous night.

All seemed fine until 5:00pm when the feed showed a small gathering of black colored energy as it soon collected into a small blob of it as it soon fell onto the ground outside the window and slowly scooted to the window before it grabbed onto it and creeped inside slowly but surely.

“Ehh! That disgusting blob came into our room while we slept!” Hina yells in disgust as the others look creeped out. As the video continued the windows soon shined a dark purple light before the window to the balcony opened and despite the midnight skies, the figure was very easy to tell as a purple creature floating through the air and moving far away from it.

Once far enough, its antenna fired off two purple beams, one hitting the girls room, and the other hitting the room next door, aka the Yes 5 team’s room. Before, the creature soon floated down into the ground and forest below the resort area. As the video ended Karen and the others all frowned. “So it appears to be that plushy alright. Thought, why wouldn't it attack us in the night while we were swapped?” Karen questions as Amai perks up.

“Well from the series Chielfin’s are usually kind but also can be mischievous to humans. And they are not really all that battle loving. So maybe it wanted to fuck with us instead of fighting you guys?” Amai said as the group sighed though Urara cringed hearing her say the words Amai used.

“Let’s not focus on that now. We should be heading down for breakfast soon or Jiiya might get suspicious.” Karen says as Marina looks at her. “I’ve been meaning to ask about that, he doesn't do any of this Pretty Cure stuff, right?” Marina questions as Karen nods. “Correct. He thankfully never had to be informed of mine or the others connections being Pretty Cure. Unlike Sebastain San.” She says as Marina gives her an odd look but nods. “I see.” She says as Karen looks to her.

“If you could, could you try to act like me during breakfast. I do not wish for him to be worried about myself.” She says as Marina nods. “I figured that was the case with everyone. So let’s all try to act like each other, or to the best of our ability in some of your cases.” She says with a side look to Amai as she frowns. “Oi leave me alone! I’m not the metal head trying to act like a rich girl.” She says as Marina blushes but ignores her comments as the group heads down for breakfast. And sure to her word, Marina was mostly like Karen during breakfast looking to Karen for the most part for advice. Her friends though were another story.

“Damn this bacon is so good, Jiiya! What kinda brand do you get?” Kimari questions, while happily eating up her last bit of it. Much to Komachi’s horror by how fast she was eating and also the language she was using. Jiiya noticed this too but laughed it off.

“It’s simply a kind the master sent from I believe South Tyrol, Italy, when he and the mistress visited them on their tour. Apparently it is ranked as one of the top 5 bacon’s of the world. So I can understand your feelings, Akimoto Sama.” He says with a hint of confusion as Nuts spoke up.

“I think Komachi is just hungry this morning.” He says to her defense though looking a bit annoyed by it as Coco nods. “Yes. We didn’t exactly eat too much before coming to the island last night so I think we are a bit hungry. Though some of us are more than others.” He says sweat dropping at Nozomi and Tanomi who it seemed regardless of which bodies they were in were happily eating their meals with ravenous hunger.

However, Tanomi did look up and blushed a bit at Coco’s comment while Nozomi happily continued. But seeing this caused Jiiya to laugh as he nodded. “So it seems. Now then what would you girls wish to do today for your first day of break?” He questions as Karen speaks up.

“Well Jiiya..San. We wish to go out on the hiking trails Karen told us about.” She says as he looks confused. “Are all of you going to hike together?” He questioned as Komachi laughed nervously. “Ahh no we are gonna go um in groups.” She says as Tanomi perks up. “Yes! It’s for a team bounding exercise we wanted to do! To umm get to know each other better since Hina and the others just met us now after Tanomi’s field trip!” Tanomi says near flawlessly imitating Nozomi as even the girl had to pause at the energy her sister used as the others all looked equally shocked. All except for Jiiya who laughed.

“Ahh I see. That’s a great idea, Nozomi Sama. That should be a fun thing for all of you to do. I suppose while you're gone I could prepare dinner by catching fish and seafood as you did last time you came.” He says as the group nods as Karen underneath the table hits Marina in the leg who after flinches responds. “Yes, that sounds perfect, Jiiya.” She says as Jiiya nods.

“Very well. I should also start doing the dishes since most of you have finished.” He says as the group nods. “Excellent. We should be back by 5:00pm.” Coco says as Jiiya nods. “Understood. Have a safe trip. Though do be careful as there are wild animals on the property. Though, they are rather passive so long as you don’t provoke them.” He warns before standing up and heading over to the sink. As he does the group all collectively sigh.

“Thank god that’s over. Though, excellent acting back there, Tanomi. If I didn’t know you and Nozomi switched bodies, I would’ve assumed you were Nozomi.” Rin says as Tanomi blushes. “Oh thank you very much Rin. It was nothing. I guess the food..helped me a bit.” She says as Hina chuckles. “And there she goes back to being her normal shy cute self.” Hina jokes as Tanomi blushes. “Ahh Hina..” She says as Rin frowns. “Oi don’t flirt with my girlfriend in my voice like that. It’s creepy.” Rin says as Hina frowns.

“I wasn’t flirting, I was just messing around. Also if that’s the case then don’t you call Tanomi that in my voice. That’s creepy too.” She says as the two look at each other as Karen clears her throat getting their attention. “Enough. We should be focused on the mission at hand. Given what we saw before the creature should be going through the woods. In that case, I say we do as Tanomi said and split up to search for it.” Karen says as the group nods.

“Sounds like a plan. And in the case we need to call we all have phones on us. Do you girls have Tanomi’s number correct?” Nuts questions as the mirrored five all nod. “Very well. In this case we need to group up if any other Kowainas or Hoshinas appear then we can call each other.” He says as the group nods. “Alright guys, operation find that Chielfin is a go! It’s decided!” Nozomi says with her usual hand motion before the others all look at her as she laughs nervously.

“It’s weird seeing me do this as Tanomi isn’t it?” Nozomi says as the group nods as Tanomi smiles. “I think it has the same energy to it if it’s any consolation.” She says reassuringly as Nozomi smiles back and the group all sighs. Hopping this strange, strange day coming up would go a bit smoother than it was starting out as.

Notes:

And done!

So a little lighter on the info for this chapter. Starting out we have the dream Kurumi had. Yeah I was just in the mood to do something cute with Kurumi x Karen since I love them as a couple. So why not!

Then we have the swaps themselves. As you can tell I went for the body swap idea for this fic and it's the second time I am doing so. But while the first one is mostly for comedy. I felt this would help out with the second idea I believe a body swap can do! That being improved understanding! And that is something I hope to do in later chapters since this one I did wanna give some focus to comedy!

But with that said I hope you look forward to the next few chapters! I should have them up soon once I am done with work today! But as always I hope you have a nice day!

Chapter 3: To Catch a Chielfin! Conflicts of Counterparts (Part 1)

Summary:

As the Pretty Cure Five, the newly dubbed Mirrored Five, and their fairy allies all split off into their groups, the hunt was on. All for a small pouch monster themed Kawaina that they must defeat in order to regain their former bodies and lives. But on this trip several of the groups decide to kill the boredom of searching the woods with conversations. Thought they would change depending on the people interacting. As one of these groups seemed to be having a happy discussion for the most part.

Notes:

Hello everyone! I'm back for the next two chapters of my little fic for today! And ooh boy do we have some fun ones! I'd argue this is where the meat and potatoes of the story really come into play so I hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

As the Pretty Cure Five, the newly dubbed Mirrored Five, and their fairy allies all split off into their groups, the hunt was on. All for a small pouch monster themed Kawaina that they must defeat in order to regain their former bodies and lives.

But on this trip several of the groups decide to kill the boredom of searching the woods with conversations. Thought they would change depending on the people interacting. As one of these groups seemed to be having a happy discussion for the most part.

“So you catch them in these special stones and then they become like pets?” Urara says curious as Amai nods. “Well yes but they also can be battle allies! Though, you can only carry six at a time but all of the ones you catch outside those will be added to a storage device as data once you reach that limit. In my playthroughs, though, I normally use only six teammates. Cause it feels like a family that way!” Amai says cheerfully as Urara nods.

“That sounds like a lot of fun. I might have to pick up one of these games. Though, I have to admit I never really played video games before so I might not be good.” She says as the blonde smiled at her idol. “Awe don’t worry. I wasn't either. It was the second video game I ever played growing up!” Amai says as Urara looks at her. “What was the first?” She questioned as Amai smiled.

“Dance Dance Resurgence!” She says happily as Urara looks at her with a smile. “Oh! I heard about that! They have those machines all over at malls and arcades. I remember trying one out with the others when we took a trip to this big mall one time! It was so fun..well before some Pretty Cure stuff happened.” She says with a slight frown as Amai nods.

“I gotcha, maybe we can try one in my city some time? There is this really low key arcade where you probably wouldn’t get swarmed by fans.” She says as Urara nods. “Nope, probably not. Just you.” She says with a smirk as Amai blushes. “Oh..well um if you don’t wanna go with me because of that I gotcha..” She says as Urara frowned.

“No I didn’t mean it like that! To be honest I..would love to. You seem like such a good person to me Amai. I’m glad to have you as a fan.” Urara says as Amai blushes. “That means the world hearing you say that! Or I guess me..with you in control..ahh you know what I mean.” She says blushing as Urara nods.

“Don’t worry this situation is screwy.” She says as the two laugh it off before Urara smiles. “I’m glad you enjoy my music and acting now. Given you weren’t the biggest fan when we first met.” Urara says as Amai pauses and frowns. “Wait really? Oh crap did I say mean stuff like that when I was Dark Lemonade?” She questions as Urara frowns.

“A bit. Namely you questioned me on why I loved to perform for others.” Urara says as Amai’s eyes widen, hearing that as she looks down and nods. “I..think I remember that now. Yet I also remember what you said back then. If you can make people feel joy, then you would be happy.” Amai says as Urara nods.

“Yep and I still feel that way!” She says happily as Amai then frowns before a confident smile appears Chielfin her face. “Yep and I'm sure we can make it happen once we get chiffon to switch us back! And it should be easy to. I mean we have not only Tanomi but the rest of you Pretty Cures helping us. We'll find Chielfin in no time with that much help!” She says as Urara nods.

“Hopefully. Though I noticed you really look up to Tanomi don’t you?” She questions as Amai nods. “Course I do! I mean she’s my first best friend.” She says as Urara pauses in her walk. “First best friend?” She questions as Amai nods while blushing and looking down.

“Yep. I have had other friends even at school or growing up, but Tanomi..she’s special. She was just so sweet and non judgemental about anything I do. Even the others in this group aren’t like that..even if I don’t mind their hazing. Well..sometimes. And besides that, she saved mine and the others lives from that..monster.” She says as Urara’s hands roll into a fist as Amai’s anger is shown in her expression. As she sees this Urara places a hand on her hand causing Amai to look up.

“I see…I guess we aren’t too different then. I feel the same way towards Nozomi.” Urara says as Amai smiles. “Aww..wait really? But I figured you’d have a lot of friends before meeting her?” She questioned as Urara shook her head.

“Maybe a few before middle school but once I started to try and be an idol..I lost a lot of that. Namely because I wanted to only focus on my work. No break from it to hangout with others or make friends.” Urara says as Amai frowns hearing that before seeing Urara’s smile.

“But..then I met Nozomi. She was so sweet, and kind. She tried to show me around the school since I was new..and just made me feel normal. Not Kasugano Urara but just Urara.” She says as Amai smiles. “Wow, that's so sweet of her. I guess those Yumeharas are something special.” She says as Urara nods.

“Yep!” She says as Amai frowns. “Though, hearing you also didn’t have many friends is still shocking. Didn’t you feel lonely without anyone else around?” She questioned as Urara nodded. “A bit yes..but I had my grandpa and dad to support me. And my manager who is basically family.” She says with a smile as Amai nods.

“I see. That sounds like a good family. Though what about your mom? Is she living away from you guys?” She questioned as Urara stopped once more. This time though, Amai looked and saw her own face with a hint of sadness and tears coming up before she shakes her head.

“Oh..my mom. She..well when I was younger, she passed away.” She says as Amai also pauses as a piece of her heart cracks hearing that. “Oh!! Oh my! I..I am so..sorry! I didn’t mean to..bring that up.” Amai says with a very sorrowful expression as Urara smiles.

“Hey don’t get sad..it’s fine. My mom is in a better place now. And regardless..I still have my memories of her so that’s good. Besides, again the rest of my family offer more love than I know what to do with at times..so really I am fine.” She says as Amai nods.

“That’s good..uh my family is um good like that too.” Amai says, trying to return to her chipper attitude as Urara smiles back. “Wow, that's cool. Can you tell me about them?” She questions as Amai nods. “Sure! Well my folks aren’t that much to write home about. They mostly work in business so they aren’t around too often besides the weekend. My mom is nice and kind, though a bit too serious at times so we kinda butt heads about my grades. My dad though is the funnier one of the two so we get along better. But my real favorite is my grandma.” She says with a smile as Urara smiles.

“Aww cute, your grandma lives with you too?” She questions as Amai nods. “Yep! Though she’s kinda a mix of both of my folks. She can be really strict when I have lessons but besides that she’s cool and funny.” She says as Urara gives a confused look. “Lessons?” She questions as Amai blushes.

“Oh well..ever since I was young I wanted to be a dancer..or I guess ever since I was reincarnated from being..Dark Lemonade.” She says with a nervous laugh as Urara frowns before smiling once more as she sees a smile appear on the other girl’s face.

“But, while my folks were supportive of it, my grandma wasn't. She didn’t think it was that good of a career path.” She says as Urara gives a confused frown. “Why is that?” She questioned as Amai laughed. “Ehh it was something about how dancing was only done in her day for festivals or special events and stuff so people who danced had jobs besides it. So to make sure she knew I was serious I not only applied for a dance club as a little kid but also for private traditional dance lessons.” She says as Urara smiles.

“Oh wow that’s so cool!” She says as Amai sighs. “Ehh not too much it’s kind of hell on my body being so stiff. I need to move when I dance but that type is so slow and clunky. But if it makes her feel I am actually serious about it then fine ya know.” She says as Urara smiles. “That’s incredible, Amai. Though what made you wanna start to dance in the first place?” She questions as Amai blushes.

“Oh well um mostly cause as a kid I was kinda all over. I had so much energy in me I just couldn’t stop. That was until I heard music one day at daycare and one of the staff had us learn to dance to it. It was simple but..I really loved it. And then I would watch shows where people danced as adults and the stuff they could do was so cool! I wanted to be just like them. To move so fast and gracefully.” She says as she twirls around with Urara’s body in various poses, rather gracefully Urara had to admit, as she smiled at the girl.

“That’s incredible..” Urara says before Amai moves her foot a bit too far and.. “Ahh!” She says before falling onto the grass below her and as she sat up she flinched. Urara noticed and trailed down to see a small bruise on her leg. “Oh..crap.” She says as Urara frowns. “Amai are you okay?” She questions as she nods. “Yeah..but oh no I hurt your body.” She says in realization as Urara smiles. “Hey it’s just a small bruise, it isn't that bad.” She says as Amai frowns.

“But..it’s your body. I shouldn’t get anything damaged! Especially, since you're probably gonna need to be in tip top shape to keep your dream going..and if you..if you end because of me then I..I don’t know..” She says as the poor girl starts to nervously breath and panic as Urara slowly goes down onto her former body and wraps it in a hug. As she does Amai’s breathing slows.

“Urara..” She says as Urara looks her in the eyes. “Amai calm down. It’s a little scratch. It’s not even your fault, the ground here is uneven. And even if it was worse and your fault, I'd still perform. A little damaged leg or sore limb is nothing to me.” She says as Amai looks at her. “Guess that makes sense. You are a pro after all.” She says as Urara smiles.

“Thanks but I have a long way to go to be a real pro.” She says with a smile. “My mom..she was a pro. Such an amazing voice, and perfect acting skills. She was what inspired me to be an actress at first, and now a singer.” She says as she helps the girl up.

“Aw..that’s sweet. It’s like you're carrying on the family tradition.” She says as Urara nods, taking out a bandage kit from a first aid kit she had in her bag. “Yep. Though this is funny. Normally, I help Nozomi put these on if she falls or trips. Never thought I'd do it to myself.” She says with a laugh as Amai smiles.

“So she really is that clumsy all the time? Honestly when Tanomi would tell me stories about her..they sound so unbelievable. How could someone be so clumsy, I thought. But I guess she proved me wrong.” She says as Urara laughs before Amai frowns. “Though even with what you said before, I guess what I did doesn't show my dance skills that well.” She says as Urara laughs.

“Aww don’t think that way. I thought you move really well in my body. Heck, maybe if we don’t switch back soon, you can do a dance audition for me.” She says with a laugh as Amai laughs too. “Thanks but if you don;t think of yourself as pro then I certainly wouldn’t be close. But if you need to learn any choreography I could help you. I’m not captain of the dance team for nothing.” She says with pride as Urara nods.

“Yep..though maybe someday you and I could dance together on stage.” She says as Amai looks at her. “How so?” She questions. “Well when I get older I feel I will be casted in more music videos and they normally need background dancers. So who better than you?” She questions as Amai blushes. “Oh I'm not sure about that. I mean even if I am good with dancing, you need to also be good with singing. And I'm not that great.” She says as Urara smiles.

“Hey don’t say that. Hmm let’s test it, let’s sing the chorus of my song, Twin Tail Magic. You know that one right?” She questions as Amai nods but blushes. “I..do but I really am not that good and I mean it would hurt to hear your voice sound bad since I am in your body and..” She says as Urara ignores her and on a rock she starts to pat and hum before.

“Yes! Let's go barefoot, Go! Go! And pass through the arch of dreams!” Urara sings happily as Amai is shocked. Her voice in Urara’s hands sounded so pretty and magical. And though she wouldn’t admit it, Twin Tail Magic was one of her favorite songs. So as Urara finished and looked at her Amai smiled with renewed confidence as she sang back. “Flash! On the seashore is the bambina! Waving a charm・point is!” She sang happily and surprisingly pleasingly to her ear even if Urara’s voice did the heavy lifting. “Twintail・Magic!” The two sang together in not a choreographed harmony, but a good harmony nonetheless which both girls giggled at.

“I guess you were right, Urara San. Thanks for letting me sing with you.” She says as Urara nods. “Anytime. Though we should go back to looking for Chelfin.” Urara says as Amai nods. “Right!” She says as Urara takes her hand. “Though maybe we can keep singing together. It’s actually kinda fun doing a duet with you.” She says as Amai blushes but at this opportunity she just smiles.

“Yes! Let’s do more!” She says happily as the two girls walked hand and hand as they sang out through the trees their wondrous melody of harmony and of their newfound friendship. Which, like the two's bonds with the Yumeharas, was growing more and more as their time together continued. Even if the circumstances were rather odd for such a duoship to work in the first place.

As Urara and Amai sung their little ditty together, another pair was having a rather typical walk given the circumstances. Namely, a pair of green cures who were having interesting reactions to the weather and to their choice of wardrobe.

“Jeez Komachi, I gotta say this outfit isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be in the heat. You actually can keep yourself cool, me on the hand I suck at not being hot all the time.” Kimari says as she looks around at the green colored shirt that Komachi had her wear. As she looks at Komachi though she frowns.

“Although, I guess you know that by now..” She says with a sweat drop seeing her counterpart in her body as she was clearly warm looking and uncomfortable. “If you want you can take off that jacket I had ya wear. It’s warm enough to just wear a tank top. Especially, since we don’t have any creeps watching us.” She says as Komachi nervously giggles.

“Oh..well I would prefer to keep the jacket on. I feel rather..exposed otherwise.” Komachi says as Kimari nods. “Yeah but hey once we find that little blob and have it switch us back we’ll be back to normal. At least I think that’s what happens with monsters when you guys purify them.” She says as Komachi nods

“Yes it should be fine. Though I do feel bad given it’s so small and cute. I hope we don’t scare it.” She says as Kimari smirks. “My god you're giving, Tanomi, competition for sweetest girl in the universe.” She says as Komachi smiles.

“Thank you Kimari, that means a lot.” She says as Kimari looks at her confused. “Why? Did I say something opposite to that during our fight when I was Dark Mint?” The girls says in a slightly worried tone that Komachi picks up on and shakes her head. “No but it was along those lines. Namely your belief that me being a shield was not good.” She says as Kimari frowns.

“Hey..I...I..” She says thought the normally straight laced girl was tongue tied trying to come up with the right words to say. “I’m sorry. That was a shitty thing for me to say.” She says as Komachi smiles. “Not at all. If anything it was motivation to prove to you it was wrong to think that way. And seeing your reaction now..proves it.” She says as Kimari smiles.

“Thanks Komachi.” She says as she soon hums in thought. “I guess I really have changed in more than one way from back then. Especially since..I do believe in protecting others now” She said as Komachi smiled, which looked odd on Kimari’s face yet even she found it to be adorable.

“Really? Who?” She questions as Kimari smirks. “Well I guess recently it would be Tanomi, since she saved mine and the others lives. But before then it was my folks and especially my little brother.” She says as Komachi looks at her as if she was an oasis of information.

“Really. Oh wow that’s so good for you. Though how do you protect them?” She questions as Kimari smiles. “With this.” She says as she lifts up Komachi’s arm and tries to flex..before realizing nothing was appearing from Komachi’s petite arm. Before she sighed. "Well I mean..what I used to have.” She says blushing at forgetting what body she was in. Komachi however giggled though a bit nervously.

“Yes..I did notice that. I have never felt this strong before, besides when I am Cure Mint. And even then this is a bit different.” She says as Kimari smirks. “Yep all that muscle is hard earned and strived for by me. Pretty much all my life in fact, even if my mom gets on my case about it.” She says as Komachi looks confused.

“But why? It keeps you so healthy?” She questions as Kimari nods. “I know right!” She exclaimed a bit louder than Komachi or it seemed she was expecting before she coughed and looked away from Komachi. “I mean..yeah it’s stupid. She tells me how having muscle will make guys intimidated or less likely to wanna date me. And how I might end up without a family of my own someday because of it.” She says Komachi frowns. “That’s an awful thing to say to her daughter.” She says as Kimari nods.

“Yeah..though I guess we’ve always had a bit of a rocky relationship.” She says as Komachi looks concerned as she continues. “See well I guess it’s not really my past since I only was reincarnated a few months ago..” She says as Komachi smiles. “It’s your life regardless.” She says reassuringly as Kimari nods and continues through a blush that soon appears from the comment that Komachi gave that was easy to see.

“Anyway but in the past mom was always a bit annoyed at me being the way I was. I remember how I wanted to play sports like my guy friends in school but she would always tell me not to since I could get hurt. And then when I started to go to the gym with my mom for gymnastics, since it was more ladylike as she would say, I stunk at it. But after my lesson was over and I was waiting with my dad for my mom to get done with a yoga class she was in, I watched him try lifting some weights. And he asked me if I wanted to try. And ooh boy that burned my arms felt that day was so..nice. And whenever I would go for gymnastic lessons I would always end up coming out and going to the gym to lift kid weights with my dad. And soon as I grew up I kinda went to the gym without going to gymnastics class and just so I could workout.” She says as Komachi smiles.

“That sounds lovely though I am sorry your mom was so harsh about it.” She says as Kimari sighs. “It’s cool. I mean she doesn't beat me for it so that’s good. Just get annoyed. Then again I learned to tune her out.” She says as Komachi nods. “So then what about your brother? Is he someone you work out with as well?” She questions as Kimari laughs. “Hehe I wish. Unfortunately, Mamoru’s kinda a wimp.” She says as Komachi looks at her confused.

“How so?” She questions as Kimari sighs. “Just that he isn’t really into normal stuff boys do. He’s more into arts and crafts. But I've been trying to help him since he’s had bullying problems.” She says as Komachi frowns. “Oh no they don’t hurt him do they?” She questions as she sighs. “Not anymore. At first they’d rough him up but once I stepped in they quickly cut their shit.” She says as Komachi was taken aback by the swearing Kimari did in her voice but let her continue.

“But now they call him wimp since his sister had to step in. SO I have been trying to get him to lift some weights and put on a little muscle to make them back off. Or maybe even take classes at this dojo I did when I decided I liked working out. But he’s just not into it, and unlike my mom I don’t wanna force him to do something he doesn’t like.” She says as Komachi nods. “I see. I can kinda relate actually to your brother's situation.” Komachi says as Kimari looks at her.

“Really? How so?” She questions as Komachi frowns. “Well when I was younger I was picked on for my drawing and writing sometimes. Namely, by boys in my kindergarten. But it was not ever too bad because at the time my older sister, Momoka, would step in and tell them to knock it off when she’d pick me up from school. Still it would always hurt that I couldn’t do anything till she arrived.” She says as Kimari nods. “So what did you learn to do?” She questions as Komachi smiles.

“I had to learn to have courage. Namely, when another girl I was friends with had her art book taken I would confront the bullies and I was firm with them. And they..were scared of me the same as with my sister. Because I wasn’t afraid of them or their teasing. They do say bullies are often like the dogs who bark loudest. They aren’t much when faced with someone who’s courageous. ” She says as Kimari looks at her and smirks. “Your..a lot stronger than I gave you credit for Komachi.” She says respectfully as Komachi smiles at Kimari.

“And you are as well. I’m so happy you finally have someone to protect now.” She says as Kimari nods. “Yep. Though I guess given what I have heard from you and see from you, you're more of a shield. While I..am more of a sword.” She says as Komachi nods. “I see..though you never..really hurt others do you?” She questions a bit worried as Kimari sighs.

“I mean..I have been in fights before but typically they start it. And I mostly dodged or gave a few weak punches to get them to knock it off. And at school most of the time all I gotta do is glare to get them to fuck off..wait shit sorry.” She says realizing the words she was technically putting in Komachi’s mouth as the girl smiled.

“No, don't worry. No one else can hear you so it’s fine.” She says reassuringly as Kimari nods. “Okay. But yeah not much really to say in terms of hurting others. Though if I ever had to I think I could win a fight. But that’s my last resort unless someone is actually hurt.” She says as Komachi nods.

“I see..well that is reassuring to hear. Though now that I think of it..I think we got distracted from our mission.” Komachi says as Kimari looks and then face palms. “Dammit. I knew I was forgetting something while talking. Alright, let’s move on out. With luck that thing is close by for us to catch.” She says as she begins to move off from the clearing of the forest into the deeper depths. As she did, Komachi smiled one last time before she rushed off to her newfound friend’s new location. With the hope that soon they’d both be back in their proper bodies.

Fortunately not every one of these groups were dealing with issues involving their bodies being swapped. Namely a certain group of four fairy friends and partners to the Yes Pretty Cure 5. But as they wandered through the island land of their friend, a certain purple haired girl was moving rather faster paced than the others. Something a certain orange loving boy would soon feel annoyed by as a 15th tree branch she brushed past in her rush smacked the boy on the face. At this he paused and growled.

“Oi Kurumi, could you not wack me with every branch in this forest?” The boy questioned as the girl in question turned and shot him an annoyed look. “Oh come on man up a little. Does that really matter when we’re in this situation?” She questioned as the two glared at each other before a third figure entered their sight and put up two hands. “Alright guys enough fighting okay.” Coco says as his friend Nuts nodded.

“Yes. If we wish to help the girls out we need to focus on finding this Kawina. And not by fighting.” Nuts says as Kurumi sighs. “Sorry Coco Sama, and Nuts Sama.” She says as she turns to continue her pace as Syrup frowns. “Jeez no sorry for me.” He says as a hand goes on his shoulder. “Syrup, just ignore her. I am sure she is just stressed about Karen and the other’s situation.” Coco says reassuringly as Syrup frowns but nods.

“Fine. But it's not like she’s the only one dealing with it. I’m worried about Urara swapping with that Amai girl too.” He says as Kurumi pauses and glares at the boy. “Don’t you dare compare them. At least this Amai girl is actually similar to Urara. That Marina girl is nothing like Karen. Hearing her snoring this morning coupled with her fumble at acting like her this morning to Jiiyan was unacceptable.” She says with a frown as Syrup sighs.

“I think you're thinking of a certain person who switched with Komachi. That Marina girl was nothing different from Karen in how she acted to him. Maybe a bit awkward but you can’t blame her.” He says as Kurumi frowns. “Are you really defending her terrible acting? I wouldn’t be shocked if Jiiyan knows the truth now due to her. Besides..even if she did act like her, she isn’t Karen and I refuse to see anyone in my girlfriends body. Especially her dark counterpart.” Kurumi says with anger clear in her voice as Coco spoke up.

“Kurumi..I understand your concern but you really need to stop referring to her or the others as dark counterparts. They don’t wish to be referred to that anymore. And even her calling you short yesterday was no excuse to do so.” Coco says a bit sternly but also kindly as Kurumi frowns.

“It’s…it’s not because of that nickname.” She defends as the trio of boys look at her as she sighs. “Look..I guess I just don’t trust them. Not after what they were and what I saw…when they attacked the others back then.” Kurumi says as Syrup looks confused.

“What did you see?” He questions as Kurumi’s expression turns even more saddened as she looks to the ground. “It was when they first appeared to us during the Mirror Kingdom incident. They had dragged the others into those weird portals that Shadow made. And then I had to watch with that monster and the other fairies, as they beat up my friends and insulted them and their friendship. And I was helpless to do anything..like I always was back then. Just like I was when they came back and attacked them again while I and Hikari got caught up fighting random monsters during Joker's Dark All Stars idea.” Kurumi said sadly as Syrup looked at her and frowned sympathetically as Coco frowned as well.

“Kurumi..” He says before Nuts speaks up. “Even still..they are not those people anymore. You should know that better than most given your encounter with Anacondy’s reincarnation.” Nuts says as Kurumi looks up and sighs. “I..suppose that’s fair but at least she was less violent and cruel than they were and with a better motivation to boot! And now the others are alone with them! And in their bodies. What if they do something while we are not there? What if this is some kinda trick? To steal their lives and bodies and then run off with them?” She says worriedly as Syrup sighs.

“Look if that was the case I don’t think they’d have acted like they did this morning. And besides..we both know they can change.” He says as Kurumi looks at him. “And how so?” She questions as he smirks.

“Don’t know if you remember this but a certain member of their group has been with us for a while. And I can’t remember you hating her in the slightest besides when she was late with her sister. Ever heard of Tanomi Yumehara?” He questions as Kurumi looks at him and frowns.

“You cannot be comparing her to them! She is clearly different from them! She redeemed of her own accord twice and died for it once.” She says as Coco sighs.

“True but Tanomi was alive longer than they were. From what Nozomi told us of that day, the other four were made after her before they all fought the first time.” He says as Kurumi looks at the group.

“Kurumi..I think your concerns are baseless. The other four are not going to do what you think they are. I am sure they are fighting now just as hard as we are to reverse this. You just have to have faith in them for now..and work to help fix the situation with what power you do have now.” Nuts says both bluntly yet somewhat kindly at least for him as Kurumi looks at them and nods though doesn’t say anything before Coco moves ahead of her.

“Nuts is right though. We should keep on searching for this Kawina. Before anything else bad happens.” Coco says as the group nods and keeps going though Kurumi lags behind the group now a bit looking up to the sky. “I..hope you're right Nuts Sama. I just want Karen and the others to be back to normal soon.” Kurumi says sadly as she keeps going with the other boys.

Notes:

And done! So let's discuss this by going over each of the individual sections starting with the yellow duo of Amai and Urara.

So this was by far the easiest of these discussions to do since their naturally less angered or even unsure about each other compared to the others. But I did think it was important to show these two being cute together as friends and yet also Amai's own newfound history. With these chapters I wanted to give more of an idea who they are in their new lives by explaining their families. And while Amai's is simple and even slightly reflective of Urara, I wanted it to shine in a different light. I did have a few ideas of what to do before hand like having her only live with her grandmother but I decided having her family be connected with mother, father, and grandmother was important. Equally I really wanted to show Urara as a compassionate person to Amai. Part of these interactions is to have the Yes 5 girls act as accepting to them as possible and I think Urara was the easiest to show it with!

Following that we have Kimari and Komachi's dynamic which was a bit funnier yet harder to work on. I did like giving the two different stances on being protectors and yet also different stances on their own sibling hood. While also showing both as strong willed even if it is in different ways. Also low-key writing Kimari swearing made me laugh each time imagining Komachi doing do. It's one of those aspects of these four I wanted to shine with since besides Rin I tend to keep that language out of the other girl's mouths. But besides that I have not much else to say besides the name I choose for her brother was originally the name I was going with for Kimari as a character but Mamoru would have been to close in sound to Marina. And since I wanted each girl to have a name that worked better with one another I felt I was best to change it.

Speaking of Marina, her and Karen's section will be next but I wanted to preface that with the Kurumi and other fairy interactions. As I said before Kurumi is one of the girls I want to really learn a lesson from this fic. As such having her face her actions through those she loves as well as tolerates (She and Syrup are like brother and sister lol) was important for that. As well as to show her prejudice towards the four is their actions in both the movie and my own stories. But like all forms of it I wanted it to be clear it wasn't always the case by having her defend Tanomi in spite of many of the factors of her being arguably worse to forgive as I had Syrup explain. And overall I hope Kurumi is coming off as understandable in spite of her actions and this will have a payoff later I can't wait for you guys to see!

With that said I gotta get to work posting the second of these two for today so I hope you look forward to that!

Chapter 4: To Catch a Chielfin! Conflicts of Counterparts (Part 2)

Notes:

Here with are with part two of my little duo chapters for today! I hope you enjoy cause this is when the shit really hits the fan namely with a certain two!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

As Kurumi continues her search, a certain duo does the same as a blue haired girl in metal attire looks towards the same sky as her girlfriend with a frown on her face. “Something on your mind?” She hears as she looks to see her own body walking in front with a curious look on her face. “Oh..I was just thinking about someone.” She says as Marina smirks.

“Was it that purple haired girlfriend of yours uhh Kurumi I think her name was?” Marina questions as Karen blushes. “Oh..um..yes.” She says bashfully as Marina laughs. “Wow, I never thought I could look like that. Normally, I get that kinda reaction from Amai when she’s pissing me off. Or when I joke about her and Tanomi dating.” She says as Karen has to bite her newfound lip from addressing her discomfort with her voice saying swears or the comments to her friends love life as she instead sighed.

“I do apologize for looking odd.” She says as Marina shrugs her shoulders. “Ehh nothing really you can control with it. So don’t worry. Anyway..what’s got you worried about her? Think she’ll end up getting swapped with one of those guys she went with?” She questions as Karen shakes her head.

“Well..not that at least though it is a slight concern in the back of my head. No it’s just..how she was acting yesterday and this morning that I was thinking of.” Karen says as Marina nods. “Right, like what she said yesterday along with that Rin girl. Or how she looked like she was ready to smack me anytime I opened my mouth this morning?” She questions as Karen nods, looking down before taking a deep breath and looking at Marina with the most apologetic face she could muster.

“Marina, I am sorry for how she acted this morning and yesterday. She’s usually a bit better with people than that. And to say such hurtful things to you and the others..it was just awful and I apologize if it made you or the others feel uncomfortable.” Karen says as Marina looks to her and pauses in their walk. As she does she sighs.

“I mean I won’t say it isn’t a problem what she said or is doing today but..I kinda get it. She seems to like you a lot..so she’s just being protective. Even if she doesn't have to be.” She says as Karen nods. “Yes..Kurumi is very loving and loyal..so I suppose that's part of the issue.” She says as Marina nods.

“That and because..well she isn't exactly wrong.” Marina said in a slightly bitter tone as Karen looked at her. “What do you mean?” She questions as Marina looks at her. “It’s just..I kinda was expecting you to be like that to me. After all I did kinda try to kill you along with the others back then and when we were revived by that Clown.” Marina says as Karen musters a soft smile.

“I would do no such thing. Especially not after hearing Tanomi’s kind feelings of you four, and meeting you for myself before that awful argument.” She says as Marina looks a bit shocked. “Tanomi told you about us? What did she say?” She questions as Karen smiles. “Well on your end, she said you played music very well even if it was different from what she has heard. And also that you seem kind deep down..especially when you and the others were defending her when Shadow was fighting her.” She says as Marina blushes a bit.

“Hehe that kid..” She says as she chuckles before smiling at Karen. “She’s a real angel ya know.” She says as Karen nods. “I have to agree. She and her sister are a lot alike in that way.” She says as Marina looks at her. “Not to challenge ya but that Nozomi girl seems a bit too clumsy to be an angel, if you ask me.” She says as Karen giggles. “You make a good point. But Nozomi’s other traits more than make up for it. She is the reason any of us are friends, especially in my case as besides Komachi, I never really had a friend like her.” Karen says as Marina looks at her.

“She brought me into her circle of friends and was so kind to me. She wanted to see me smile, and wanted me to have fun. It’s why even if she is at times perplexing in her attitude, lack of grace, and especially grades, she’s someone I care for deeply. For helping me to break out of my shell and become less lonely. Being her friend honestly changed my life for the best.” Karen says as Marina looks down and smiles.

“Friends huh..I think I remember you saying something about that in my nightmares. How you were able to laugh with them, cry with them, and experience sorrow and joy together.” She says word for word what Karen said to her back then as Karen frowned.

“I see you remember our fight. Though..I am curious, do you remember what I said before that?” She questions as Marina nods. “Yeah..you asked if I had any friends. And I was a bitch to you saying I didn’t need them.” She says as her hands curl up into a fist thinking of the pompous look she had on her face then. Before Karen spoke up once more.

“And I assume by your anger..you feel differently?” She questions as Marina looks at her. “Well..yeah. Friends are important. That's why I like hanging out with Tanomi and the others. Even if we do argue a lot. But..really before them I didn’t have many friends. People usually get mad at me for cursing or being easily annoyed. So I don’t have many friends..even though I wish I did.” She says as Karen looks to her.

“I’m sure you can do it. If I could do so you can as well. And if not with this group of friends maybe in the future. The important thing is to never stop trying and also to..remember that desire. That’s how you’ll keep from ending up alone.” Karen says wisely as Marina looks at her and laughs a bit. “You know..it’s so weird hearing my voice saying things like that. But I gotcha..and trust me I am gonna try. Especially so that my dream in the future can happen at all.” She says as Karen nods.

“I see..you wish to be a musician correct?” She questions as Marina nods. “Yep..since I play bass I don’t think I’d have a good solo career. So I have to play with others eventually. Though no one at my school likes my kinda music. It’s why for High School I wanna try to get into this academy nearby called Musique De Lumière. It’s another sister school around us but focuses on music of all kinds. And they have a really good program dedicated to metal music with some old pros teaching some tricks.” Marina says as Karen smiles.

“Musique De Lumière..that’s nostalgic. That’s a school I once planned on going to.” Karen says as Marina looks confused. “Really? What made you quit?” She questions as Karen smiles. “Well it was really just that I found another career path. Namely, to become a doctor.” She says as Marina whistles. “Dang that’s a career choice. I wouldn’t know half the stuff needed to even be decent at that. So you got my respect there. Though why were you gonna go there originally?” Marina questions as Karen smiles. “My family..namely my parents are famous as musicians. Though they play classical music mostly, so I figured that’s what I'd do as well. Especially, since I was taught many lessons by them and other instructors when I was growing up.” She says as Marina nods.

“I gotcha. Honestly, I can relate. My folks wanted me to get into the family business before I discovered a passion for metal.” She says as Karen looks intrigued. “What do your parents do for a living?” She questions as Marina blushes a bit. “Oh well..um it’s nothing..” She says as Karen is confused by the blushing and embarrassed tone her counterpart took on. “It’s nothing bad is it?” She questioned slightly out of worry for her counterpart as Marina sighed.

“Ahh no..fuck..it’s not bad..it’s just they run a pet store alright.” Marina says bashfully as Karen looks at her and then double takes with confusion. “A pet store? Why did you sound nervous then?” Karen questions as Marina looks equally shocked as Karen was confused. “Well..uh because most people I say it to laugh. Thinking I am some kinda faker metal head who doesn't really like it since animals and metal don’t really go together. Unless, we're talking dragons and snakes designs.” Marina says as Karen smiles.

“I see..well I don’t think it’s all that odd. I guess you never were one for animals though?” She questions as Marina frowns. “No..I mean sure I am not as skilled as my folks but I love animals. Just music is kinda my thing ya know?” She questions as Karen looks at her.

“My thing?” She questions as Marina nods. “Yeah, I like it as something to call my own. My folks can’t really play anything but a little kazuo for some of the little ones. But me..I got some natural talent or so my uncle told me.” She says as Karne nods.

“Is this uncle a fan of metal too?” She questioned as Marina nodded. “Yep! He even took me to my first concern as a kid since I was interested. And it really opened my eyes. Then whenever I’d come over to his place to visit or when he’d baby sit me, he’d teach me how to play bass. Even got me my first bass before me and my folks left our hometown to move to the city when I was 10. Or at least my memories from being reincarnated tell me.” She says as Karen frowns.

“Firstly, that is not just memories. That is what happened to you now. Don’t forget that.” Karen says firmly but with kindness as she then smiles. “And secondly, it sounds amazing that you were able to bond with your Uncle like that. Though, where did you come from?” She questions. “Oh uh well it’s a small town called Animal Town.” She says as Karen looks at her.

“Animal Town?” She questioned as Marina nodded. “Yeah not the most creative name but it’s a nice place for animals and pet owners, though a bit too quiet for me. It’s why I like our city life better even if some of our animals get a bit rowdier in our new shop.” She says as Karen nods. “I see that’s wonderful to hear. And either way that’s great to hear about your own dream Marina. I hope you can do it in the future with friends you can rely on.” She says as Marina smirks.

“Hell yeah..though Karen.” She says as the bluenette blushes. “Thanks for not laughing at my dream. And I hope you become a kick butt doctor in the future.” She says as Karen smiles. “Anytime Marina. And I will do my best..though first we should probably continue our hunt for that pouch monster.” She says as Marina nods as the two continue their walk to find the body swapper, with a new respect for each other and happier grins than they had at the start of the walk.

Though, not everyone was currently dealing with as many issues regarding the body swaps. Namely a duo who had gone through this before though not with each other. And like then a certain long magenta haired girl was seemingly having a bit of fun.

“Hehe Tanomi, this is fun!” Nozomi says as she hops up and down as if on the moon in Tanomi’s body as she gives a rather goofy but happy expression. As she does Tanomi gives a soft smile that looks a bit out of place on Nozomi’s body along with her demure body language. “That’s great Nozomi. I’m happy you're having fun with this.” She says as Nozomi pauses and frowns. “Oh..sorry am I being insensitive?” Nozomi questions as Tanomi shakes her head.

“No you're not. It’s just I am mostly unsure how to feel having to switch bodies with someone again. Especially you.” Tanomi says with a slight frown as Nozomi frowns back. “Aw..Tanomi..i’m sorry. Don’t worry we’ll be back to normal soon! Trust me!” She says happily as Tanomi smiles.

“Thank you Nozomi. Though, I don’t think I am the one who wants things to go back to normal the most.” Tanomi says with a frown as Nozomi nods. “Ahh yeah Rin Chan and Hina Chan.” Nozomi says as Tanomi nods.

“Yes..I was worried about those two when they left today. They seemed to still be heated.” Tanomi says as Nozomi nods. “Yeah..I didn’t think Rin Chan would act like that with Hina and the others last night. I hope you weren’t too mad about that. She did say she was gonna apologize.” Nozomi says as Tanomi nods.

“Yes..I was a bit upset at first with what she said..but I think I can understand her feelings. The others back then were not the best, and unlike me they couldn’t see the light or at least wanted to. Still they aren’t that bad anymore, they have become entirely different people and just wanna live their new lives. So I hope Rin can see that. Even if Hina is as hot headed as Rin can be and might not let her see it.” Tanomi says as Nozomi smiles.

“Don’t worry Tanomi, I am sure Rin Chan and Hina Chan will get along soon! They may be hot headed but we both know they are some of the nicest people in our lives.” Nozomi says as Tanomi smiles. “Yeah..that’s a good point. Thanks Nozomi.” Tanomi says as Nozomi smiles. “Of course, Tanomi! Though like you said you're not the only one who wants everything to be normal. Like being you is fun but..I kinda need to me before tonight.” Nozomi says as Tanomi looks confused.

“Why is that?” She questions with a tilt of the head as Nozomi giggles and looks around trying to avoid eye contact. “I..well..umm..alright.” She says as she pauses and blushes. “Coco and I..may have had a romantic dance under the moonlight one night..and I kinda wanted to do it with him again. And I checked the weather and it said tonight was the only clear night we have this week.” Nozomi says as Tanomi giggles.

“Well then I guess we have to work harder to switch back. I don’t wanna have Coco or you be awkward during your dance if he’s doing it with you in my body.” Tanomi says as Nozomi nods. “Yeah! Though I guess it would be weird for you and Rin Chan to do anything together since you're in my body. So I guess we can both work hard to be together with the people we love as ourselves!” Nozomi says as Tanomi nods. “I guess you could say our motivation now is..decided?” Tanomi questions with a smirk as Nozomi giggles. “Hehe yep.” She says as the two sisters giggle together.

But as they do..they soon pause. Namely as they hear a voice from above. “HELLO! Is anyone down there?!” They heard as they looked up to the sky. As they did both eyes went wide in confusion and surprise. As they did the figure flew down. “I’m coming down! Don’t be afraid! I am not a monster! My name is..” The figure says as he comes to the ground near them and faces them as the girls gaps at the same time.

“Mr. Bunbee San!” The two yelled together as the man in his bee monster form backs up. “Ahh..oh Nozomi San, Tanomi San?” He questions as Tanomi looks confused. “What are you doing around Karen’s Island?” Tanomi questions as he laughs. “Oh..it’s your friend's island. Actually that’s great you guys can help us.” He says as Nozomi looks confused.

“Us?” She questions as he laughs. “Yeah..you see during Golden Week, Papple San decided to give us a break to go on a work vacation. Also for some team bonding stuff. And one way was by taking individual boats and working together to make it to an island nearby without using our powers.” He says as he scratches the back of his neck and reverts back to his normal form. “But how did that lead you to flying over this island?” Tanomi questions as Bunbee chuckles.

“Well you see..I might have gotten stuck with Papple San and Charaleet San. And we kinda ran out of gas around here. So she asked me to fly to this island and see if they had any gas we could get.” He says as Nozomi nods. “Ahh well Karen should have some! We took a boat to get here after all!” Nozomi says as Bunbee smiles. “That’s great to hear, kid. Though..what are you and Nozomi doing around here, Tanomi San?” He questions as the twins blink and gasp. “Oh..well firstly I am not Tanomi. She’s Tanomi.” Nozomi says pointing to Tanomi as Bunbee looks confused.

“Huh?” He questions as Tanomi speaks up. “Well you see we kinda ran into an incident involving a Black Hole Particulate where it switched bodies with me and my group of friends and Nozomi and hers.” She says as Bunbee looks shocked and laughs nervously. “Oh..I see.” He says as he looks at how both girls are standing and instantly it clicks to him. Nozomi despite being Tanomi was standing rather outspoken while Tanomi was standing more closed. As he did he shook his head.

“Well..uh maybe we could help you?” He questions as Nozomi smiles. “Really! Thank you Mr. Bunbee San! Actually you definitely can help!” Nozomi says as she clicks on something as Tanomi looks confused. “How so Nozomi?” She questions as Bunbee looks equally confused. “Well, you had used those Kawina Masks before and this thing we were dealing with is a Kawina! So do you know how to track one down?” She questions as Tanomi nods. “Right I forgot these are the monsters connected to Mr. Bumbee San!” Tanomi says as the man nervously chuckles.

“Uh..well it sucks to say but I can’t really help with that.” He says as both girls look at him. “Yeah..I mean even I wasn’t always sure how those masks worked back then besides being able to summon them. So I can’t track them down.” He says as both girls sigh. “But I can help out..hmm actually let me get Papple San! I am sure she will have an idea for how I can help.” He says as Nozomi smiles. “That’s amazing!” Nozomi says as Tanomi gives him a happy smile.

“Yes thank you so much.” Tanomi says as Bunbee nods as Nozomi smiles. “Well while you're helping us out, I guess we should do our part too. Common, Tanomi!” Nozomi says as she pulls her sister and the two run off. As they do Bunbee stands there and looks up.

“Huh..I guess given the situation now..Cure Dream is my favorite instead of Cure Hope, huh weird.” Bunbee says before shaking his head thinking of the situation at hand. “Ahh right..let me find Papple San’s boat to help the girls!” Bunbee says as he transforms and takes off to find his boss.

“Hey I think we're getting closer to a cliff nearby. Let’s go around this area.” Rin says as Hina nods as the two do so. “Gotcha.” Hina says as Rin nods though says nothing. “So you guys have been to this island before right?” Hina questions as Rin nods.

“Yeah.” Rin says as she keeps going as Hina pauses and sighs. “Cool.” She says as the two walk silently together. “So..” Hina says as Rin looks at her with a blank face. “Yeah?” She questions as Hina frowns. “Nothing.” She says as Rin nods.

“Whatever.” She says as Hina frowns but says nothing. Though as the two walk together..a subtle pressure starts to build around them. Namely as Hina decides to speak up. “Rin..” She says as Rin pauses. “Yeah?” She questions as Hina sighs.

“Hey..so..I am sorry for calling you a bitch last night. It was uncalled for.” Hina says as Rin looks shocked before her expression turns to something unreadable. “Yeah..” She says as Hina looks to her as Rin nods. “I..I accept your apology.” Rin says as Hina frowns. “Oh..cool.” She says as she and Rin keep going as Hina frowns. “Don’t you have anything else to say?” She questions as Rin pauses and frowns. “Sorry for what I said.” She says though rather fast as she moves forward as Hina frowns.

“Fine..be that way.” She says as Rin pauses. “Excuse me?” She questions as she turns as Hina frowns. “I said," Be that way”. You could be more sincere, ya know.” She says as Rin growls. “Why? I told you I was sorry, can't that be enough?” She questions as Hina sighs. “I guess.” She says as she now moves forward as Rin frowns. “What is your problem?” She questions as Hina turns and gives a shocked look.

“MY problem? Excuse me but you're the one who started it with me and the others by saying we deserve to DIE when we were first made.” She says as Rin frowns. “Look, that was bad for me to say but can’t we just forget I said it and move on?” Rin says as Hina frowns.

“I guess but still..you know what, whatever.” Hina says as Rin looks intrigued. “What were you gonna say?” Rin questions as Hina ignores her and keeps going. Causing Rin to grow more angered.

“Oi DARK ROUGE, what were you gonna say?” She questions as Hina pauses and looks back with an angered look. “Well, Cure Rouge, I was gonna say how just apologizing is fine but your attitude is the problem.” She says as the two glare at each other.

“My attitude?” Rin questions offended. “Yeah! We come to your friend’s island as guests and you decide to call us names we don’t like anymore and say we deserve to die. And yet your apology is weak as fuck. What is your problem huh?! I know we fought in the past but is that really enough to hate me now?!” Hina questions as Rin frowns and looks down.

“That’s..not the reason.” She says as Hina growls. “Oh well what is the reason huh?! Tell me? What did I and the others do to make you hate us so..” She says before Rin growls and glares at her.

“BECAUSE all of you tried to kill Tanomi!” Rin yells as Hina pauses and so does Rin as she looks down. “We..what?” She questions as Rin frowns. “Not you right now but ..you when you guys first came back. When Tanomi and you four were brought back by Joker.” She says as she looks at Hina as she suddenly has a flash.

Tanomi was standing before her along with Rin and the others in their Pretty Cure forms as she heard her own voice yell out. “Dark Dream! What are you doing with our reflections! You're supposed to kill Cure Dream, not befriend her!” She heard as she saw Tanomi step back and look afraid for a second. As the flash exited her eyes she turned to Rin as she said the very thing she just heard as she looked at Hina.

“That’s what you said back then..and you all looked ready to kill her for it. And Tanomi..even back then she was scared.” Rin says as her hands curl up into fist as Hina looks at her shocked. “But that didn’t matter. Back then you had only her in your eyes to hurt! Heck even during our fight, you told me you would kill her before me.” Rin says as she looks up.

“So imagine my surprise when suddenly Tanomi comes home from her game and tells us you four were back and somehow reincarnated. I didn’t wanna believe it but seeing you now I guess she was right. And when I heard her talk about you guys I was horrified she was so happy to make friends with you. Despite you four trying to kill her just for deciding to join us and not follow villains anymore!” Rin says as Hina looks at her and frowns.

“How long is this gonna take to get through to your thick skull..me and the others are reincarnated! I never even remembered that..till you said it now. And yes I now can remember her being sad and afraid of us..but if you think we’d do that to Tanomi now..you don’t know us.” Hina says as Rin frowns. “I..even still I just..I don’t want you guys around her. She was just fine without you.” Rin says as Hina sighs.

“That’s not your place to decide. Being her girlfriend doesn't mean you can control her life.” Hina says as Rin frowns. “I am trying to help keep her protected!” Rin yells as Hina yells back. “Well you didn’t when you fought her did you!” Hina yells as Rin pauses and looks shocked.

“Yeah she told us about you getting brainwashed back then along with the others. How she and those fairies your friends had to fight you to the death to try and get those chips to stop working. So how is it any different for you to say you wanna protect her now despite doing that huh?” Hina questions as Rin frowns.

We were brainwashed! If you honestly think in any situation I would do that to her then..” Rin pauses as her anger dies a bit as Hina smirks. “You don’t know me?” Hina questions knowingly as Rin frowns and looks to the ground as Hina also sighs before speaking again.

“And even still..Tanomi doesn't need you to protect her all the time” Hina says as Rin still looks to the ground as Hina continues. “Look, she may look all cute and sweet. But that girl..I never meet anyone so strong. And not just because of her being Cure Hope, I mean because of who she is. She’s born from a dark reflection like all of us. Yet unlike us she had to grow into who she is. And the person she is so brave, kind, friendly, and just amazing. Besides, even outside of that she saved our lives, and I can vouch for everyone in our group that we’d do anything for her. So..if you think we will ever even touch a hair on her head in anything but a nice way..then you really don’t know us. We're not your dark counterparts anymore..okay maybe we are still originally but we are our own people. So don’t worry about us around Tanomi.” Hina says as Rin looks to her counterpart as the girl looks down before sighing.

“I..guess..you're right.” She says as Hina looks at her. “I..i’ve always had some issue with some of our redeemed villains coming back. So I guess it’s something I really have to work on since I fought Tanomi on this with Bunbee but..hearing what you said..I think you're right.” Rin says as she looks up to Hina.

“I..was wrong for what I said. I guess I was just too protective of Tanomi. I never really had anyone like her before in my life..so the thought of anything happening to her..especially after what I almost did with the others when I was being controlled..it just sends me up a wall.” Rin says as Hina smiles. “Same for me. If someone even touches her I can tell you I'd smack them over the head with my trusty frying pan.” She says as Rin laughs.

“Frying pan huh. Tanomi mentioned that and how you were a cook. She even said you made one of the best dinners she ever had.” Rin says as Hina nods. “Glad to hear that. I pride myself on my skill. I’m not just the cooking club president for a reason.” She says puffing out her chest as Rin laughs. “Seems like it. You wanna work in a restaurant or dinner in the future?” She questions as Hina nods. “You know it! My folks actually run one.” She says as Rin looks interested.

“Oh cool. My family runs a flower shop.” Rin says as Hina nods. “Tanomi told me that..she said they had the best flowers she ever saw. Though I think she might be biased.” Hina says as Rin smirks “Just come by and you’ll see she’s right.” Rin says as Hina nods. “Guess that’s true. My folks say eating it is always the best way to tell if food is good instead of just looking.” She says as Rin nods. “Makes sense. What kinda food do you guys make?” Rin questions as Hina smiles.

“Well we make steaks, ramen, and all kinds of stuff.” Hina says as Rin smirks. “Sounds tasty.” Rin says as Hina nods. “I think so. Though my stuff is nothing compared to my mom and dad. So I am honestly trying to get to their level.” She says as Rin nods. “I felt that back when I thought I was gonna be a florist like my mom. Till I found a different dream.” Rin says as Hina smirks.

“Yeah with these right?” Hina says as from her pocket she shows a colorful beaded bracelet of red and magenta beads as Rin blushes. “Ah! Where did you find that?” Rin questions worriedly as Hina frowns. “Umm they were in your pants that you gave me to wear.” Hina says pointing to her shorts as Rin blushes. “Ahh..I see..you didn’t show that to Tanomi right?” Rin questions as Hina nods.

“Nope, though why?” She questions as Rin giggles. “Well um it’s a new bracelet I am working on and I wanna give it to her for our anniversary.” Rin says blushing as Hina chuckles. “Ahh I see. Well your secret is safe with me. Though gotta admit I never have been a big fan of jewelry but these things you made and that Tanomi showed me, they look great. I am sure you're gonna be a great designer in the future.” She says as Rin frowns.

“Aww thanks but I don’t think I am at that point yet.” She says as Hina chuckles. “I see. Well, I guess we are not so different after all.” She says as Rin looks at her and smiles. “Yeah..” Rin says as she looks down before giving a sad look to Hina. “I guess I was wrong about you..sorry.” Rin says genuinely as Hina looks and smiles.

“Apology accepted. Glad we could come to an understanding.” Hina says as Rin nods. “Awesome. Though, we should head off to find that thing..I am sure it’s gotta be around here somewhere.” Rin says as Hina nods. “Yeah and I think we can do it..together.” Rin says with a smile as Hina nods. “Yeah.” She says as the two raise their hands.

And then smack them together in a high five as both look towards each other and smile or smirk depending on the girl. Still around the surrounding area the flaming aura of hatred had died out and all leftover was a warm comforting flame of support and maybe friendship for the future of these two flaming girls.

Notes:

And done!

So like last time let's start with Karen and Marina's little storyline. I will admit this one has to be the hardest to write for given how different they are but I think I came to really like these two's interactions. I wanted Marina in many ways to reflect off of Karen with the two's history with music but of course in a different way. But bounding over finding their own dream and not just a dream their families wanted them to have. Equally I will admit I was playing a bit with a certain fact about Marina I explained her which I swear with definitely not have any purpose for the future especially with a certain wonderful team. Why do you ask? :)

Following that we had Nozomi and Tanomi which was both easy yet difficult to do. Since the fun of these swaps is in the dynamic but since these have such a rock solid one it was hard to do anything with it differently. Besides Nozomi having fun being stronger as Tanomi due to her athletic nature. I will say though I was happy to include a little Coco x Nozomi moment here referencing their dance on the boat. Which while not the scene that made me fully ship them was a fire to that already lite flame at the time. And finally Bunbee's appearance which might seem out of nowhere. But I do have an idea behind it that you shall see as well as just wanting to write him being confused by Nozomi and Tanomi swapping. And making an Otona reference years before that will ever happen.

But of course the real meat and potatoes of this one is Rin and Hina's interaction. I knew of the girls the one most against the four was gonna be Rin and I knew since day one I was gonna use them trying to attack Tanomi during Friends from Darkness as her true reason. Even if it is one of those happy accidents that were never planned with these four. Still I wanted these two to get the chance to shine together with showing their protective fiery and yet understanding natures. Especially using Rin's brainwashing and fighting of Tanomi as something Hina can throw back to her. As for Hina's own family history that did come second I will say but I do hope you like that aspect.

But now that the seeds are in place it's time for the last two chapters next time. And ohh boy I am excited for you guys to see them since I think they are quite interesting. And made rewatching a lot of Yes 5 these last few months worth it. But with that said I hope you have fantastic day and see you soon for the next two chapters of my little story! :)

Chapter 5: Killer Kowaina! The Yes Pretty Cure 5’s Return!

Summary:

The body swapping event has drawn to it's conclusion as the girls find their target. But will their be more to fight besides this cute possessed plush doll? And what kinda nostalgic experience will occur as a result of who has to fight and what they have to fight?

Notes:

And here we are my friends! While the last two chapters and even the first two were fun to do, this chapter is the payoff and one I am proud of and have a lot to say by the end. So with that said I hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“Three! Two! One! Go! Yes! Let's go barefoot Go Go! And pass underneath the arch of dreams!” Urara sings as Amai smiles at her. “Flash! Along the seashore is a bambina! Who waves the charm・point!” Amai says as the two smile together. “Twintail・Magic!” They sing happily together perfectly as they sing together.

“AHH that was so much fun! I am so happy to do a duet with you, Urara!” She says as Urara smiles. “Aww thanks Amai. I loved singing a duet with you too!” Urara says as the two grasp their hands together in happiness. That is before Amai blushes and moves away.

“Ahh sorry!” She says as Urara smiles. “Don’t be. Anyway we're getting close to the end of this route. Do you think Chiefin might have jumped into the sea?” Urara questions as Amai shakes her head. “Nope, she might be a sea element creature but she mostly lives in small lakes or underneath them in the case of the series. It’s said they never swim out to the ocean because it’s so big and it’s afraid to get eaten by bigger mons.” Amai says as Urara frowns.

“That’s so sad.” She says as Amai frowns and nods. “Yeah but that’s why the trainers in the game and series are good for it. They help it to leave the nest and travel as well as be protected.” She says as Urara smiles. “That sounds nice.” She says before her eyes glue onto something as she does Amai looks as well. “Hey what’s wrong? Do you see..oh.” Amai says as she and Urara look to see a certain purple blob creature with twin antennae float through the air and go forward, unseeing of the two girls as it blissfully twirls through the air.

“Chi Chi Chi Elf!” It shouts happily as the two girls hide behind a tree as they watch it continue to float. “That’s Chiefin!” The two exclaim as they look at each other before they rush after it only to soon see it standing in the middle of a clearing of trees as they see the rocky and watery area below them. “Perfect, this is a great time to try and catch it. It won’t go into the sea, especially this high up.” Amai says as Urara looks worried.

“Um, Amai, is it supposed to glow like that?” She questions as she points to the creature as Amai gives a confused look as it glows an oddly black color. “Huh? Never did that in the games. Wonder if it’s some kinda..” She says before the creature soon let’s out a cry with its voice. One that is so loud it causes both blondes to cover their ears and eyes due to the painful frequency. “AHHH what is this!?” Urara yells as Amai shakes her head. “I don't know! It can’t learn Mega Screech in the games!” Amai yells as the creature soon stops its yell allowing both girls to look up as horror fills their eyes.

“OH..” Urara says as Amai finishes. “Crap..” Amai says as in the sky near the water are a ton of Black Hole particulates all flying in the air as Chiefin cheers happily. As she does the particulates soon all move into the water and yet don’t rise back up.

“Um..Urara do you think it’s summoning another monster?” Amai questions as Urara nods. “Yeah but I never seen that many of those things before..I can’t imagine what kinda Kawina it will be..” Urara says before the girls hear running and soon see Nozomi, Tanomi, Rin, Hina, Karen, Marina, Komachi and Kimari all enter the same area.

“Everyone!” Both girls exclaim as the groups gather together. “What was that loud noise Urara..and ahhh!” Nozomi says as she points to the floating plushy. “It’s Chiefin!” The girl yells as the creature soon turns to them. “Nozomi, you idiot! Don’t shout and alert us like that!” Rin yells as Nozomi frowns but Komachi looks confused. “Was it the thing that let out that ear piercing sound?” Komachi questions as Amai nods. “Yeah! And worse a lot of those Black Hole Particulate things went into the water after it called them!” She yells as Karen looks alarmed.

“The water? Oh dear it might be trying to possess an animal..” Karen says as Marina looks worried as Hina looks to her with worry as well. “Well I mean I guess a big fish would be tough. Especially in that water.” She says shivering as Kimari sighs as she looks at the Pretty Cures. “But you 6 should be able to fight anything it can possess right? I mean what’s the most dangerous animal nearby? Like a shark?” Kimari questions as Karen answers.

“Actually there is one creature bigger..but I don’t think it has enough to..” She says before the group soon feels rumbling beneath them before from the water comes a massive yell almost dwarfing Chiefin’s yell as water shoots from the sea. And as it does a creature emerges. “I might have spoken too soon.” Karen says as Hina looks on in fear. Oh you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me!” She yells as Karen sighs.

“It’s a rare creature who doesn’t come up often but I suppose anything can when influenced by those particulates.” Karen says as everyone else looks on in astonishment as a giant white and black whale emerges from the sea and covering its face is a familiar mask. One that Nozomi and the others go wide eyed at. A black almost gooey looking mask with a red four pointed star, orange tear lines going from it’s soulless eyes, and finally a glowing yellow mouth with a sinister grin.

“That’s..that’s one of those black masks.” Nozomi says as Rin nods. “Yep..and if I remember right those were the hardest to beat.” She says as Karen frowns. “Regardless, we should take care of it. Even if we are swapped with the others, our cure forms should be more than enough to take on one of those.” Karen says as Nozomi soon looks to the others with a determined look as she nods. “Right! Let’s do this everyone!” Nozomi says as she grabs Tanomi’s Curemo as the others do the same.

“Pretty Cure METAMORPHOSIS!” The six yell out as a bright flash erupts in front of the remaining mirror five. As they look on once it dims though a confused look appears on everyone’s face. “The Power of a Pleasant Dream! I am Cure Hope!” Nozomi yells as she reveals herself in Tanomi’s Pretty Cure form.

“The Great Power of Hope! Cure Dream!” Tanomi yells as Nozomi and the others look on in confusion. While her hair was the normal style the girls had associated with Nozomi’s cure form, the outfit was different yet familiar. Tanomi now wore a white and fuchsia lined two-piece with matching gloves and socks. Ruffled, pale chiffon trim lines the skirt and sleeves, and on the chest is a pink butterfly with a green gem. On her waist is a bow. She also wears fuchsia shorts and short boots with pink detail. On her hand is a light pink butterfly, and her left wrist is a familiar looking device. As now a bright pink Pinky Catch was on Tanomi’s wrist. As she finishes her chant, Tanomi soon looks down in confusion.

“What the? Why am I in your old Cure Dream form Nozomi?” Tanomi questions as Nozomi looks confused. “I don’t know!” She yells as Rin and the others look down even more confused. “We..we didn’t transform?” Rin questions as the others all look at them and sure enough none of the other four swapped cures had transformed. “Moreover, why are you and Tanomi in each other's forms?” Karen questions as Nozomi laughs.

“Umm I guess we forgot to trade after we swapped.” Nozomi says as Karen sighs before the group's attention shifts back as the Whale glares down at them before bellowing out a massive yell as the girls besides Nozomi and Tanomi recoil from the yell.

“We’ll fight that creature off while you guys figure out what’s wrong!” Nozomi yells as she and Tanomi look at each other and soon make a massive jump at the creature. As they do though a small yell escapes from Chiefin as it jumps in between them and the creature.

“Huh!” The two exclaim as both move to the side to avoid the creature as they land on opposite sides of it. As they do the creature looks to them and starts to cry out in anger. “Chi Chi Elfi..Elfin!” She says angrily as she moves her antenna widely.

“What..what’s it saying?” Nozomi questions as Tanomi looks confused. “I’m not sure..” She says as the creature soon stops and looks to the whale turned Kawina as it cheers and soon flies up to its eyes. As it does the soulless eyes of the possessed Chiefin Plush look onto the black mask as it cheers once more before the creature yells.

As it does it’s mouth opens before another ear piercing scream echoes from it almost like an attack now. As it does the creature deflects the last possible second as it is soon still thrown into a nearby tree due to the force. It’s little body falling to the ground with a thud as it looks dazed.

“Oh no Chiefin!” Amai yells out as Hina looks confused. “What the heck! I thought that was supposed to be its ally? Why did it do that?” Hina questions as Karen looks worried. “If I remember, the Black Mask creatures were often the most violent. It might have taken it out due to not seeing it as an ally but instead something to hurt.” Karen says as Urara gaps.

“Maybe Chiefin wanted to summon it so it had an ally to ride off the island with!” Urara yells as Amai nods. “That might be true but I don’t think it’s gonna let..oh no!” Amai yells as she and the others see the large creature's mouth open once more as water builds this time. “It’s gonna blast her!” Amai yells before she moves without warning as the girls look on at the girl rushing to the creature.

“AMAI! Get back here!” Hina yells in shock and worry for Amai’s choice as Tanomi looks towards her friend rushing to the creature. “Amai!” She yells as she rushes to her friend and the small monster as the big one soon releases the water right at Tanomi, Amai and Chiefin. But as Tanomi grabs both and attempts to jump out the way the girls hear a cry from the beast as the ground beneath them shakes.

As Tanomi jumps in the air with Amai and the creature tucked into Amai’s arms they look to see the water blast was now breaking the ground below as the creature’s head is pointed down. As on top of the creature's head they see Nozomi with a kick stance on the creature's head as she gives a serious look. “Leave my sister and her friends alone!” Nozomi yells as the creature smashes into the water as Nozomi jumps on some rocks falling from the landmass as a small chunk sinks into the water. As she makes it to the end of the island the others rush to her.

“That was so cool, Hope!” Urara says as Nozomi giggles but smiles. “Of course. I had to protect you guys! Speaking of, are you guys okay?” She questions as Tanomi lets Amai down as she and the girl nod. And as they do the creature in Amai’s arms floats around them. “Chiefin. Are you okay?” Amai questions as the creature looks confused before then looking at Amai, before making happy noises and warping its antennas around Amai’s waist in a hug. “Huh..I think she likes you for saving her, Amai.” Hina says as Amai smiles.

“Really!” She exclaims as the creature happily coes during the hug. “Aww I love you too!” She says hugging back to the best of her ability as the group looks confused. “Do you think she’s actually understanding what it’s saying?” Rin questions as Hina sighs.

“Knowing Amai I wouldn’t be surprised.” She says as Marina looks at the shorter girl. “Still that was a gutsy move you did. Though it did work out. So nice going shortie.” Marina says playfully as she ruffles Amai’s hair as Amai pouts. “I'm / she’s not that short!” Both her and Urara yell as the group all soon laugh.

But as they do they feel a familiar rumbling. “Oh no..looks like my kick wasn’t enough.” Nozomi says as Karen looks at the group. “We can’t take on that thing with just two Pretty Cures.” She says as Rin frowns. “Well what can we do? Our Curemos don’t work.” She says as Karen nods.

“Yes..I was thinking of that. Given Tanomi’s current Cure Dream form is from back in the day it might be due to that being the form she was created from. And how Nozomi could transform into Cure Hope. Maybe our devices are only synced to our bodies. Which means they are the same as Tanomi.” Karen says as the four remaining girls turn to their counterparts as they blink and then look shocked. “Wait, we gotta fight that thing as you guys?” Hina exclaims as Rin nods.

“Seems like it. Karen has a point..and given it’s coming up soon we need you to transform now.” Rin says as she hands Hina her Curemo as Karen, Komachi and Urara do the same. “But..but we're not Pretty Cures! Most of us don’t even know how to fight!” Amai exclaims as Kimari sighs. “And I never thought anything that big before.” She says as Komachi smiles. “I understand your doubt but I am sure you guys can do it.” She says as Urara nods.

“Yeah! I mean we were able to fight when we first got our Pinky Catches, so I am sure you can too!” Urara says as Karen nods. “Besides, you have Nozomi and Tanomi as experienced cures to help you out.” She says as Rin sighs. “Just as long as Nozomi can figure out how to fight as Tanomi and vice versa.” Rin says as Nozomi and Tanomi nod. Seeing this the four others look down and then nod. “Alright.” Kimari says as Hina nods. “Yeah even if it's an animal I bet we can take it down with Tanomi and Nozomi’s help.” Marina says as Amai smiles.

“Yeah! Besides, it could be fun!” Amia says as Hina looks unsure. “Not sure a fight with a big whale is gonna be fun but if it means protecting you guys and being able to fight with Tanomi then sign me up.” Hina says as Rin nods as Tanomi smiles. “You guys.” She says happily before she gets a confident look. “Alright, get ready then.” She says as the four nod as they hold up their devices.

“Pretty Cure METAMORPHOSE!” They chant as the devices light up and soon flow down their hands and onto their left wrist reverting to their former forms as Pinky Catches. As they do each device opens and soon reddish orange, yellow, green, and blue lights echo through the area before fading. As it fades each girl stands ready.

“The Red Flame of Passion, Cure Rouge!” Hina said while posing in Rin’s older Cure Rouge form. “The Effervescent Scent of Lemon, Cure Lemonade!” Amai said while posing in Urara’s older Cure Lemonade form. “The Green Earth of Tranquility, Cure Mint!” Kimari says while posing in Komachi’s older Cure Mint form. “The Blue Spring of Intelligence, Cure Aqua!” Marina said while posing in Karen’s older Cure Aqua form. As they get out of posing though Hina looks confused.

“Umm how did I know those words?” Hina questions as Rin chuckles. “You get used to it after a while. It just kinda comes to you” She says as Amai cheers. “This is amazing! I feel so strong!” She says as Kimari nods. “This is crazy. I feel like I do during a good workout..but like even more.” She says as Marina nods. “Regardless, let's focus on that.” She says as the six transformed girls turn to see the creature emerge from the ocean once more. As it does, Chiefin clings to Urara’s arms now as the Amai looks to it.

“Hey don’t worry! We got this Chiefin!” Amai says as she flashes a smile as the creature looks and nods though still clinging to Urara’s arms. As that happens through the cries get louder before from the creature blowhole a wave of water erupts. “What’s it doing now?” Hina questions before from the water they see many creatures colored in the same aura as it as the water shooting out throws them across the island. “Oh great..now backup isn’t happening.” Rin says as Karen looks worried.

“I hope Jiiyan will be okay.” Karen says as Marina looks to her counterpart. “Don’t worry, we'll take care of this before it can hurt him.” Marina says as she looks at it. “Even if it’s an animal..” She says as Kimari sighs. “Don’t get all mopy. It’s clearly under some kinda control. Punching it will help to break that. Giving it a big hug won’t help it.” Kimari says as Tanomi nods.

“Yes..it should break it out with no injuries to the creature. So please don’t hold back.” She says as Marina simply nods. “Alright girls let’s go!” Nozomi cheers before the girls yell out yes and charge at the creature with all six together.

As they do, Urara notices Komachi looking towards the woods. “Komachi?” She questions as she turns to the girl. “Sorry I was worried about Nuts and the others. Especially with those other Kowainas that creature shoots out into the forest.” She says as Rin smirks. “I think they should be alright. After all, they're not just little fairies anymore.” She says confidently as Komachi nods and turns back to the six cures fighting the black mask whale monster.

“The blue rose of a secret emblem, Milky Rose!” Kurumi said while posing. “The blue light of courage, Cure Valor.” Coco said while posing. “The maron touch of benevolence, Cure Tact” Nuts said while posing. “The orange wings of resolve, Cure Pluck!” Syrup says while posing. The four all shout together as a glowing rainbow of their colors appears before the foes who incircle them. Namely, a group of smaller Kawinas who resemble other fishes of the sea.

“Where the heck did these things come from?” Kurumi comments as she bats one away as Coco looks at her. “Don’t know but if they appeared near us the others might be in trouble. Especially with that big surge of energy we felt earlier.” Coco says as Syrup frowns. “Do you think the others are okay? I mean they might have trouble fighting in the other girls' bodies.” He says as he bats another of the creatures away with a punch.

“They should be fine. But we should try and get to where they are. If this hoard appeared for us I fear what they are fighting.” Nuts says as he makes a shield with his sword which helps to block a wave of creatures on his right. But as he does Kurumi looks to her right to see a bunch of dolphin looking Kowainas start to coral Coco. “Valor Sama!” She yells as she rushes towards him knocking away a bunch with a few punches as she stands before him. “Thank you for the help Rose. Though be careful these things are stronger than they look.” He advises as Kurumi nods.

“Of course Valor Sama.” She says with a smile before the creatures turn their heads down to her. “Huh?” She questions before she sees something slowly appear. “Oh no..” She says before water gushes from the blowholes of these creatures and soon a tsunami of water smashes into her. “ROSE!” The boys all yell as Kurumi is sent flying into the air and across the island. As they look back to the creatures Coco soon makes a barrier before another wave can be fired.

“Hopefully she’ll be fine.” Nuts says as Coco nods. “I think she will. If anything this gives her the chance to get to the girls if they need it.” Coco says as Syrup inside the barrier frowns. “I just wish we could get to them.” He says worried as the other boys nod before continuing their fight once the water stops coming from the dolphin’s blowholes.

Meanwhile, the battle rages on for the Pretty Cure 5 and Nozomi as they clash against the creature. Though even a five way kick seems to do nothing as they are tossed back by it. “Guess Hope’s little surprise kick isn’t gonna work a second time.” Hina says as Nozomi sighs. “Doesn't seem like it. But let’s keep attacking. It’s gonna get weak eventually. Though Ho..I mean Dream, how do I use your Crystal Cascade attack?” She questions as Tanomi looks at her.

“Oh..you haven’t felt the words come to you? Normally for me it just does. Though I agree I am having issues using your attacks as Cure Dream.” She says as Nozomi smiles. “Oh well in that case focus on your Pinky Catch and pour all your hope into it. That’s my powersource after all. And I am sure you can do the same.” Nozomi says with a smile as Tanomi smiles back and nods as she closes her eyes and as she does a glowing pink energy erupts from her device.

“I think I can feel it..okay take this!” She yells as from her watch a bright pink butterfly emerges. “The great potential of a young girl's dream! Pretty Cure Dream Attack!” She yells as the butterfly is hit by her hand as it grows bigger and soon smashes into the face of the monster causing an explosion to occur. As the group looks on with hope, the smoke soon clears as the mask remains unharmed.

“Darn it.” Nozomi and Tanomi say as the creature yells out. “Hey uhh how do we use those attacks with our um wrist watch thingies?” Hina comments as Rin and the others look at their counterpart. “You need to feel a passionate fire in you to use my Rogue Fire!” Rin yells. “You need to feel an energized feeling take over your body to use my Lemonade Flash!” Urara yells. “For my Mint Protection, you need to feel a desire to protect those around you!” Komachi yells. “To use my Aqua Tornado, you need to feel a surge of confidence in yourself. A feeling that you know you can win or defeat what’s coming at you!” Karen says as the girls all look on.

“Great..that explains so much.” Hina says as the others sigh. “Maybe it will come to us like it did for them. Just keep dodging and kicking it!” Kimari says as she charges forth and the others do the same. Except Nozomi and Tanomi.

“Why can’t I use Hope’s move? She can use my Dream Torch as that Hope Racket. So why can’t I summon it like I used to?” Nozomi says as Tanomi sighs. “Maybe Kimari is right and it will come to you. After all, whenever I use it I feel a desire to protect the dreams I hold dear.” Tanomi says as Nozomi nods.

“Okay. I’ll try.” She says as she starts to concentrate as a magenta light appears around her but slowly. “While you do that I'll go help them!” Tanomi yells as she and the mirror five charge at the creature as it yells out from their attacks and knocks each one of them away except Kimari who manages to hold on and begins punching the creature with all her might. “WHY WON’T YOU JUST GO DOWN!” She yells angered by how long it is taking as the creature's blubber takes the hits well causing Kimari to growl even more in anger.

Meanwhile, on the sideline Rin nervously laughs as she looks at Komachi. “Never thought we’d see Cure Mint acting like that. Ehh Komachi.” Rin says as Komachi blushes. “It’s quite the out of body experience.” Komachi says as Karen sighs. “I wish we could help them. I feel so useless down here.” Karen says as Urara looks at her.

“We aren’t useless! We need to keep cheering for them so they have the power to keep going. Like this, common Lemonade you got this!” Urara yells as Amai looks back, smiles and delivers a strong kick to the creature's side. “See?” She questions as Karen nods.

“Still it’s a bit worrying.” Komachi says as Rin nods. “Yeah they are totally inexperienced. And even Nozomi and Tanomi are struggling.” Rin says worried as they soon hear whimpering and look to the creature in Urara’s arms. “Aww don’t cry Chielfin.” Urara says as the creature looks to her and moves its antennas around Urara pointing in different directions confusing the girls.

“I think Chielfin is scared about what will happen to Amai and the others and is trying to question us.” Urara says as Rin nods. “Make sense..although I am so confused by Chielfin. Why is it so different from the Kawina’s that we fought?” She questioned as the group looked unsure until Karen looked back to the fight.

“Um..guys.” She says as the group looks to her and then to what she is seeing as they freeze in fear. The creature's mouth is loading up for a water move like last time only this time..it’s mouth is opened very wide. Easily the size of 15 trees in length and width. And all of it full of water as some even drops from its mouth. And as Tanomi and the others keep attacking it, it doesn't flinch as it looks dead onto them. “Oh crap it’s sensing the despair from Chielfin. And it’s gonna blast us.” Rin says as Karen looks at them. “We need to run..” She says but she doesn't and neither do the others.

“Crap..what is this feeling?” Rin says as she tries to move her legs but can’t. “It’s yells from before..are they still keeping us in place since we don’t have the power to resist as Pretty Cures?” Komachi hypothesis as Urara looks nervous. “Oh no.” She says as Rin looks to the others.

“You guys, we need some help or this thing is gonna wipe us off the map!” Rin yells as the fives attention soon goes to them as they stop their attacks and rush to them making it there in no time.

“We can’t move..the creature is holding us in place due to its yell.” Karen says as Marina sighs. “Guess we can pick you guys..” She says but as she touches Karen she isn’t able to move her even a little bit as Kimari sighs. “Just our fucking luck.” She says as Tanomi looks at the creature as it expands to as wide as it can get. “We need to blast it back before it can hit all of us.” Tanomi says as she soon closes her eyes and from her butterfly emblem appears a familiar object.

“The Dream Torch? But I thought that was destroyed during our fight and became that Hopeful Racket?” Rin questions as Tanomi smiles. “Maybe but right now I am Cure Dream. So I guess I can use its powers once more.” She says before facing the creature as she gathers energy from within as Karen frowns.

“You can’t be serious. Even the full power of Nozomi’s that she used on Shadow couldn’t fully defeat him. I doubt it can trump that attack’s power.” Karen says as Tanomi looks at them. “Well..I guess I gotta try to succeed Nozomi with my own hope.” Tanomi says with a smirk as Rin nods.

“If anyone can do it..then it will probably be you.” She says with a smirk as Tanomi smiles and then faces the creature. “The potential of a young girl's dreams, take this! Pretty Cure Crystal Shoot!” Tanomi yells out as the creature launches its torrent of water as Tanomi summons hundreds of crystals as they fire in a beam towards the attack. Causing both to smash into each other with great force.

However, as they do the Crystal Shoot is easily pushed back but Tanomi holds her ground. “Crap this isn't good.” Kimari says as Komachi looks at her. “You need to summon up a Mint Shield. If you do then you can protect us and help to avoid this attack from damaging anything around us.” She says as Kimari looks unsure.

“But this attack isn’t an attack. It’s a shield. And I am not really good with that.” She says as Komachi smiles. “Yes but it also requires you to stand your ground and protect those you care for. So I am sure you can summon up that power.” She says as Kimari looks at her and she nods as she closes her eyes and green energy ripples around her.

“The earth tremors of a young girl's anger, take this! Pretty Cure Mint Protection!” Kimari yells out as a green shield emerges around her and the others and soon expands as it smashes into the attack of the creature and with Tanomi’s Crystal Shoot it begins to help to push it back. “Damn that thing is tough.” Kimari says as Komachi smiles.

“That’s all because of your own power.” She says as Karen, Urara, and Rin look to their counterparts. “You guys have to use our own attacks too. It’s the only way this attack can be beaten.” Rin says as the girls look to her and their counterparts before then to Tanomi as the girl struggles as her heel digs into the ground yet she keeps firing.

As they see this they nod. “So I gotta show great fiery passion huh? I think I can do that.” Hina says as she starts to generate orangish red energy around her. “And I gotta show a lot of energy and spirit in my own attack. I think if Tanomi can do it then I can too!” Amai says as she closes her eyes as yellow energy appears around her.

“And if we all work together I know we can win. So right there I proved I can use that attack of yours Karen.” Marina says with a smirk before closing her eyes as blue energy appears around her.

“The powerful flame of a young girl's pure heart, take this! Pretty Cure Rouge Fire!” Hina says as like Tanomi’s dream attack, a butterfly emerges from her watch but this time one on fire as Hina smacks it causing it to fly and smash into Kimari’s shield as it pushes the attack further.

“The bursting power of a sparkling girl, take this! Pretty Cure Lemonade Flash!” Amai yells as from her palms comes hundreds of yellow butterflies who all fly forward and smash into the shield helping to push it further with the other attacks.

“The rock-crushing power of a young girl's outpourings, take this! Pretty Cure Aqua Stream!” Marina yells as a large water blast is fired from her palm as it smashes into the shield and along with the other moves pushes it once more.

Now all five glowing radiant attacks are firing against the water blast from the whale. And it seems the girls are getting an edge as they nearly clear a 1 ⁄ 4 of the way to the creature’s mouth. Though its water still continues to blast out and hold its own ground.

“Damn this thing is tough.” Hina says as the girls feel the pressure to keep going. But as they do nothing else happens as their attacks continue. “We can’t keep this going forever. We are gonna burn ourselves out at this rate.” Kimari says as Tanomi frowns.

“No, we have to keep going..we can’t give in.” Tanomi says as Hina nods. “Yeah! I am not letting this creep hurt my friends.” Hina says as Rin looks shocked. “Friends?” She questions as Hina blushes. “Um..uh yeah..” She says looking away from Rin as Kimari sighs. “Don’t try to act cool Hina. It’s fine to tell them how you feel. Besides, I feel the same. Today’s been an interesting day but a fun one nonetheless.” Kimari says as she looks at Komachi.

“I agree though I wish things went differently in terms of why we did this little scavenger hunt, but I liked my time with the others so far.” Marina says with a smile as she sides eyes Karen. “It’s been a wonderful day! And I will not let this guy destroy that! Besides, I get to finally fight alongside Tanomi. So..I got to live out my dream.” Amai says as Tanomi looks at her.

“Amai..Everyone..i’m glad to hear it. Now let’s prove ourselves as worthy of being Pretty Cures by beating this thing once and for all!” Tanomi yells confidently as the girls nod. “YES!” They all chant together and as they do a flash erupts from their chest butterflies.

“Huh?” Hina and the others exclaim before suddenly items appear in Hina, Amai, and Marina’s hands as an item appears above Kimari’s barrier. “What the heck are these things?” Hina questions with her free hand as Rin gasps. “Those are our symphony set items!” Rin exclaims as the girls all smile. “And that’s good?” Marina questions looking at the small device.

“Yes! With them you can make stronger attacks like the one Tanomi is using!” Urara says as the girls look down at them as Hina sighs. “I feel another chant coming on when I look at this. But if it means defeating this whale then I’m game.” Hina says as the others nod as they look back towards their attacks and hold out their items.

“Pretty Cure Mint Shield!” Kimari calls out. “Pretty Cure Rouge Burning!” Hina calls out. “Pretty Cure Lemonade Shining!” Amai calls out. “Pretty Cure Aqua Tornado!” Marina calls out. As they do their blast all either double in size or explain into more or even just grow their attacks. And as they do that, the 1 / 4 distance between this super attack and the whale's mouth gets even closer.

“Almost there.” Tanomi says before a voice erupts in the area. “I finally got it! Alright here I go everyone!” Nozomi calls as she soon jumps into the air. “Was she charging that whole time?” Hina questions as Tanomi looks at Nozomi and notices her hands glowing with bright light despite the lack of the Hope Racket in her hands.

“My guess is yes even if I have the Dream Torch now..she has the power to use my finisher by charging. Although this should be enough! You got this, Hope!” Tanomi says as Nozomi looks down. “You know it, Dream.” She says before facing the creature. “Take this the power of a young girl’s hopes! Pretty Cure Crystal Ball Cascade!” Nozomi yells as from her hands appears a giant ball that she then smacks with both palms.

Once smacked the attack soon breaks into hundreds of thousands of shards that soon fly right towards the creature's head causing them to smash or pierce into the creature's body. As it does the move causes the creature to cry out in pain as its attack weakens from lack of focus. Seeing this, Nozomi looks at the others.

“Alright everyone! Now! Give it your best shot!” Nozomi yells as the mirrored five all nod and with the Dream Torch, Rouge Tact, Lemonade Castanet, Mint Leaf, and Aqua Ribbon all glowing their signature colors, the girls' attacks grow once more before eclipsing the water and smashing into the whales face. And like with the dream attack before the creature cries out in pain as the attack explodes into its face causing it to be knocked back into the water.

As a rain fall soon occurs due to the creature's massive size falling into the waters below, the Pretty Cure let out the last of their attacks before they fade as they stand tall before the battlefield. That is before all of them soon collapsed to the ground with legs on the grass as their mouths opened and exhaled from exhaustion. During this, Nozomi rushes over to them.

“Everyone!” She yells happily as she and Tanomi hug. “You did amazing back there, Hope.” Tanomi says to Nozomi as she smiles. “You guys did too! It really looked like it was us from back then blasting that Kawina.” Nozomi says as Rin smirks. “I’d say.” She says as the four mirrored five members smile. “Now then let’s h..” Nozomi starts to say before another tremor was felt.

“Oh..” Amai says as Tanomi frowns. “My..” She says as Kimari and Marina frown angrily. “Fucking..” They say as Hina looks up as a familiar creature comes back from the water as it looks injured but not yet fully purified as it cries out in anger. “GOD! Seriously, why won’t this thing just go down already!” Hina yells as Rin sighs. “Now you're learning what it’s like being a Pretty Cure.” She says jokingly before the girls hear a yell shout pass them before a purple blur lands right in front of them.

“Ouch..” The figure says as smoke clears revealing Kurumi in her Milky Rose form. “Rose!” Karen yells in concern as she bends down and places a hand on her shoulder. “Are you okay?” She questions as she looks up and sighs. “I’m better now that I get to see you..Karen.” She says as she lifts herself up and looks to the Mirrored Five. “Though..that’s a look I didn’t think I'd see again.” She remarks as Nozomi laughs.

“Yeah it’s a bit weird for us to.” She says as Kurumi sighs. “Regardless..now that I found you we must head to..save..Va..” Kurumi says before she turns and sees the giant Kawina in front of them as it glares down at them. “Oh..that’s what sent those things..great just great.” She says annoyed as Rin sighs. “Yeah I know. Now we can all die together!” She says with a fake chipper sound to her voice as Kurumi looks at the Mirrored Five before her eyes widens and then she turns back to the creature.

“Those weapons and that mask..” She says as the girls look confused before she turns to Nozomi. “I have an idea how to beat it, but I need you to distract it, Hope.” Kurumi says as Nozomi looks confused but nods. “Alright..i’ll distract it!” She says before rushing forward and yelling to the creature.

As she does, Kurumi turns to the others. “Okay I am not sure if I can still do this..but I can try.” She says before a purple flash erupts in the area as Kurumi not only de-transforms but also turns into fairy form. Much to the group's surprise.

“Huh..she is a fairy.” Hina says as Amai smiles. “Aww she’s so cute!” Amai yells as Milk frowns. “Don’t be concerned about that, Mil!” She yells as Marina blushes. “She even..sounds cute.” Marina says with a shy blush as Milk blushes as well before Kimari sighs.

“Enough with the cute fairy shit. What is this gonna do to help us fight this thing?” Kimari questions as Milk nods. “I..I used to be able to perform this attack with the others in my fairy form and with those items. And that usually allowed us to destroy those black masks when nothing else could, Mil.” She says as Karen looks at the fairy.

“But you haven't used that move in a really long time. And even then you used it after you became friends with us. Will it work with them?” She questions as Milk frowns. “I..I..don’t know. But I will do anything to help save Coco Sama and Nuts Sama, as well as Syrup. So if you guys trust me..I am sure I can do the same for the sake of those I care for. And if we both do it then we can do it together.” She says as Marina looks to her as she looks to the others as all five nod.

“Well then let’s get this over with shortie.” Marina says as Milk pouts but gives a slight smile and nods. “Okay..Marina, Mil.” She says as Marina nods and smirks as the five gather together. “So how do we do this?” Hina questions as Milk smiles.

“Leave that to me, Mil. Now then let’s do this everyone!” Milk chants as she jumped onto the arm of Tanomi as her body soon turned into an odd looking object as the Dream Torch along with the other items all glowed as the remaining four scattered onto the Dream Torch attaching to it and making it resemble a star.

“You know what to do Tanomi.” Tanomi heard Milk say inside her mind as the girl nodded as she instinctively places the Dream Torch around the object Milk turned into as it glows before both it and the Dream Torch are sent flying into the air.

Once this occurs the sky opens revealing a glowing giant version of the item now resembling a butterfly with rainbow translucent wings. As the five look towards it they look at each other and nod as they instinctively know what to say.

“Together with the Power of Dreams and Hope!” Tanomi chants as the others look up with her. “Join with our Five Lights!” Kimari and Marina chant together. “Here and now!” Hina and Amai chant together as they along with Tanomi and the others are lifted into the butterfly construct in the sky as they appear on top of it and it rockets to the giant whale creature with glowing rainbow colored butterfly wings. As it does the girls collectively chant once more.

“Pretty Cure Five Explosion!” The group all chant as they impact the creature causing it to yell out in pain before the mask shatters. As it does a whale of a yell is heard before the mask pieces fade into nothing but shadowy smoke. And as for the whale formerly attached to it, it is simply dropped lightly into the ocean as the Pretty Cure Five land on the ground in front of Nozomi and the others as they each give proud smiles to their respective counterparts.

As it does in Coco and other areas, they pause as the minion Kawians soon fade into that same shadowy smoke. As it does Coco sighs in relief. “Well, it looks like they took care of whatever summoned them.” He says as Syrup sighs. “It took them long enough.” He says annoyed as Nuts look up to the sky. “I just hope they can resolve the other issue in front of them now that this battle is over.” He says wharley as the other two nod.

Notes:

And done!

So, first thing is first, yes I did get massively inspired by the second half of my Yes 5 marathon why do you ask? But no in all seriousness, with this chapter I did wanna pay some tribute to early Yes 5 with both the attacks, the finishing move, and of course the black mask Kawinas.

I guess we should start with why the Mirrored Five fought. So when it came to this, I knew I had to have them transform in someway during this story since it would feel appropriate. But giving them their own forms now felt a bit to soon, so I remembered how at least in one of the body swap episodes of this franchise, Tarte had to become Cure Pine to fight as Inori when he and Inori swapped. So with that in mind I went with the idea that it is the body that the power checks for. Though the reason for them ending up in the OG Yes 5 outfits well that's a bit harder to explain. Out of universe the entire reason was I wanted them to kinda have a Tanomi moment from Friends from Darkness, where they used the older attacks of the girls and essentially had inherited them from the girls like Tanomi did with the Dream Torch. Out of it..yeah my best explanation is something went wrong when transforming due to the body swap and due to the girls having been connected to these forms when they were first created.

As for the Black Masked Whale, well I went with this due to it being something big and imposing for the girls to content with. As much as I love Chielfin, it is rather small and not very powerful. And the reason for it being a whale..well yeah it's a reference to the Temple of the Sea movie were Manaphy helped to call on the power of Kyogre to help out. As such why not have a Whale get possessed. Though I will when writing this my umm issues with a certain season and it's MOTW chase scenes, kinda came out. Heck it kinda help Marina was one of the ones from this town, so her calling attention to it I felt was nice. I swear I don't hate Wonderful, it's just been an experience getting into it.

Moving forward we then have Kurumi and her role here. So when I decided on the idea of her and Rin having the biggest issues with the Mirrored Five, I knew how I was gonna give her the chance to show she wanted to trust them. After all every time this finishing move is used in Yes 5 (All six times shockingly enough for a finishing move) Milk had to have moments with the girls or her friendship with them had to develop. So having her do it here as a sign of good faith to the Mirrored Five after her discussion with Coco and the others and her worry for them, I felt was a nice enough end.

Now outside of this the one last detail is Chielfin itself, which you might be seeing what I will do with it but that is for our ending to decide. With that said I hope you enjoyed this one and look forward to our end of this fic as the month draws to conclusion!

Chapter 6: Love, Admiration, and Respect for All!

Summary:

The body swaps are over but not before explanations, apologies, and new friendships are born!

Notes:

Welp this the end my friends and boy oh boy do I feel happy to have concluded this fic. I hope you enjoy this conclusion!

Chapter Text

As the battle finally drew to a close, Tanomi and the others landed as the others smiled at them. “Great job out there you guys!” Nozomi says as the others all sigh. “Guess we did but that really made me tired.” Hina says as Marina and Kimari nod. “You said it.” They say before Milk lands off Tanomi’s arm. “Not too shabby. I suppose I never lost it in the first place, Mil.” She says with pride before she pauses.

“Oh no, why do I sense another energy..though it feels different..” She says before the girls look to the sky as they see a rather average sized boat and an odd looking creature carrying it. “Oi everyone!” They hear as Rin and the other Yes 5 members look on in confusion.

“You have got to be kidding me. Why is he here?” Rin questioned as the mirrored five looked confused all but Tanomi who smiled as the man floated down with boat in hand as he set the boat down. As he does he sighs.

“Geez not that heavy my butt..” He says annoyed before a set of voices shouted out. “Mr. Bunbee San!” Tanomi and Nozomi yelled as they smiled at him as he smiled back. “Ahh Dream and..the others. Wow, that's nostalgic. I didn’t know you could turn back to those forms.” He says as Milk sighs, turning back to Kurumi.

“Honestly, this whole day has an annoying ring of nostalgia to it. But regardless what are you doing here..and what’s with this boat?” She questioned before a figure emerged. “Ahh good day Pretty Cure 5.” A woman says with a purple fan, long black hair with dyed ends, and a rather tacky if fancy looking dress. As she appears Rin sighs.

“Oh great..more of you guys.” She says as Papple smiles. “Yes..how fortunate it is we can get what we need from here.” She says as Karen looks confused. “What is it you need to get?” She questions as Bunbee looks at them. “Didn’t Nozomi and Tanomi tell you? We need gas for our boat.” He says as Nozomi giggles. “Ahh sorry about that. We got distracted with other things.” She says pointing to Cheifin who looked toward the beeman with confusion as Bunbee soon looked surprised.

“Oh wow it is a Kawina. Though from the looks of it..it’s a Kawina Button creature. Now that takes me back.” He says as Hina looks to him and then Tanomi. “Tanomi, who the heck is this guy?” She questions Tanomi gaps. “Oh sorry I didn’t introduce you guys yet. This is Mr. Bunbee San. He’s like us, a former villain of the Pretty Cures. Through him and Papple San, who is also one, work together with other adult Pretty Cure villains in a company to bring a brighter future.” She says as Bunbee smiles.

“Ahh so you guys are also Redemptives. Then again given you're so similar looking to the girls I guess you were also Shadow’s creations like Tanomi was?” He questions as Kimari looks pissed. “We are not anymore.” She says as the others look annoyed as Tanomi sighs.

“Please don’t be mad at him, girls. He didn’t know. But we don’t like being called anything in relation to Shadow, Mr. Bunbee San.” She says as Bunbee nods. “Oh shit sorry girls. If it helps I never liked the creep anyway. Looked too much like one of those punks I saw growing up to work at any business even Nightmare.” He says as Kimari smirks.

“Alright that’s not a bad put down of him.” She says as the others all nod. “Bunbee San, you mentioned a Kawina Button in relation to this Chielfin. What is a Kawina Button?” Karen questions steering the conversation back to the point at hand. As she does he nods. “Ahh right. Well I don’t know too much about them since Karwaino was rather tight-lipped about company secrets. But these small Kawina Buttons were placed onto equipment at Nightmare. It gave them the power to function perfectly as the thing it attached to would, but without running on electricity. That way we didn’t have to pay for it since they were kinda penny pitchers at Nightmare.” He says as Amai looks up. “

So..since it took possession of a Chielfin plush then does that mean it will act like what Chielfin’s act like in the show and games?” She questions. “Hmm yeah I guess it would. Nightmare never tried to use it on other things due to it creating a weak Kawina for fighting.” He says as another figure appears from the boat. “Papple San. I just got a text from Salamander San and the others. They are totally having fun without us. Can we get the gas we need and start moving again?” Charleet says as Papple sighs.

“I suppose. Bunbee San if you please help us bring this to wherever we can find gas.” She says as Karen sighs. “I suppose since Tanomi and Nozomi said we could help, then we shall. Just wait for us to get back so I may properly tell Jiyan about this. And try to not lift the boat like that in front of him once you arrive.” She says as Bunbee nods as he picks it up and he and his boss and fellow employee fly off.

Once, they do Karumi turns to Chielfin. “Alright then little um thing please turn Karen and the others back to normal.” She says as Amai frowns. “Hey Chielfin isn’t a thing.” She says as Kurumi sighs. “Fine. Chielfin can you turn everyone back.” She says as Chielfin looks to the group as Amai looks to.

“Yeah! I promise we won’t hurt you! We just wanna be ourselves again.” She says as the creature looks and nods before a bright green light erupts from its antennas before it engulfs the whole area.

Once it fades, Nozomi and the others look down as down Tanomi and her team as they all look joyful. “It worked! I’m me again!” The group all expressed with joy. Well all except one as Kurumi looks at the group with a smile. “Ahh finally I can speak normally.” She says as the group looks confused before Chielfin starts to squeak angrily as Amai takes it from Urara’s arms and holds it. “What’s wrong Chielfin why are you so mad?” She questions as Kurumi giggles.

“Silly, that's not me. I am.” Kurumi says as Amai and the others look confused. “Wait..Chielfin! You switched bodies with Kurumi!” The group yelled as the girl nodded, giving a dopey grin that looked out of place on Kurumi’s body as Kurumi in Chielfin’s body continued to cry out angrily. “Why did you do that?” Karen questions as the girl looks at her.

“Because I couldn’t speak otherwise. Those vocal cords of mine are not developed enough and I am too young for telepathy.” She says as Amai nods. “That is one of her abilities later in the movie so that checks out.” She says as Chielfin looks at Amai.

“Now then I wish to thank you for saving me, Blonde One. And since you and your friends are in your proper bodies, I now wish to ask for you to be my trainer.” She says as Amai looks giddy. “Wait really!” She exclaimed with joy as she nodded. “Yes. You saved my life so I am indebted to you. I will do all I can as your partner to help you.” She says as Amai smiles.

“Aww well then of course I would be your trainer! But just call me Amai okay. Blonde one would get a bit confusing” She says happily as the two embrace. “Of course Amai!” She says rather cutely as she hugs the currently shorter girl as the others look at the scene. “Um..should we allow this? I mean it is a Kawina.” Rin says as Hina sighs.

“Given what that Bunbee guy said and how it’s acting I think it’s not a threat. And besides, it's a bit like us in a way.” She says as Amai nods. “Yeah it can be our redemptive fairy! Since, she did bad in the past when she switched our bodies and now can be our helper!” She says as Chielfin looks to the girls. “I promise as long as Amai wishes to be on my best behavior and help in any way I can. I wish to make up for doing what I did to you before. I was scared when I awoke and thought that others like me would help me but it seemed rather mean. But you don’t seem that way!” She says happily as Rin sighs.

“I guess we have no choice then. But Amai, please take good care of her, alright?” Rin questions as Amai nods. “Of course! This is the best day ever!” She yells as her partner agrees. “I think so too!” She says as she keeps hugging Amai as Kurumi in Chielfin’s body soon starts making noise again. “Oh dear umm Chielfin can you switch yourself and Milk back. I think she’s getting really angry now.” Komachi says as Chielfin nods.

“Aww but I liked being able to talk. Also having this pretty hair and body but okay.” She says before a bright flash escapes from Kurumi’s head and soon Kurumi shakes her body as she looks around and sighs in relief. “Thank god. And here I thought switching bodies with Nozomi was the worst swap I could have endure.” She says as Nozomi pouts. “Hey!” She yells as the group soon laugh as even Nozomi gets in on it. As they do though they slowly begin to make their way back to Karen’s island mansion.

“Oh Ojosama I see you are back. I got worried.” Jiiyan says as Karen looks worried. “I feel similar. Why are you in an arm brace?” She questions as the man’s left arm was indeed in one as he sighs. “I do apologize. I was trying to fish and some kinda animal slashed in the water and once I caught it, it took me for a ride. Though after a bit of holding on it seemed to vanish. But I should be fine, it was a minor pulling of my arm muscles.” He says as Karen sighs and frowns.

“I see. Well in that case please rest up for tonight. Me and the others can take care of dinner.” She says as the man looks worried. “Are you sure?” He questions as Hina speaks up. “Of course. If you guys need me, I can whip up something good. Especially with these nice looking fish you caught.” Hina says, pointing to the small bucket of fish that Jiyan caught.

“Oh very well but should you need I can help with..” he says before Karen speaks up. “You are perfectly fine to rest after all you did today so far. Your health is my top concern.” She says with a smile as he nods. “Very well Ojosama. Oh and to let you know your friends Papple Sama and her employees were taken care of by me. I had some spare gas containers for them. Though they wished to thank you from the bottom of their hearts for your kindness.” He says as the girls all smile.

“That’s lovely to hear.” Karen says as the team all look to each other happily. “With that said, I shall be in my room resting if you need me with anything else, Ojosama.” He says bowing as Karen nods as he leaves. Once he does Marina sighs. “Geez sorry we couldn’t finish those monsters faster.” She says as Karen smiles.

“No need. If anything it just means we can all have time to make food together for dinner.” She says as Nozomi smiles. “Yeah this’ll be fun!! It’s decided” She yells happily as the group all nod. “So glad she’s saying it again and not you.” Rin says as Tabimi gives a soft smile. “I agree.” She says as the group of 11 girls and 3 boys all get to work together.

And with that said the group got to work and eventually a full blown feast was created as the girls and boys all dug in. As they do, soon a fun night is had with the girls enjoying time together with each other as they decide to stay up for a bit longer and do many things.

From Uno which Kurumi of course won every game much to the annoyance of the Yes 5 cures and the astonishment of the Mirrored Five. To Nozomi and Urara getting in one watching and taking turns with Amai’s game system to play Pouchmonsters Kunai and Chain. And even Cheifin getting a fun time as she and Amai spent time with Amai going into detail about the home she lived in and what to do when they get back home to avoid causing suspicion. Tanomi, though was helpful to Nozomi in keeping her secret meeting with a certain princely boyfriend under moonlight, as a certain caregiver was seemingly unaware.

All and all the night went off without a hitch as the group the next morning woke up bright and early as the girls sat down for a lovely breakfast courtesy of Hina once more. As they bit into it Nozomi, Urara and Amai all smiled happily at the delicious bacon and eggs she made. Even Tanomi did as well though trying not to overdo it in front of the others.

“Damn you really are on your way to being a great chief. This nearly beats anything some of the best Pretty Cure cooks can make.” Rin says as Hina smirks. “What can I say I am the best after all.” She says with pride as Marina sighs. “At cooking though in everything else you're not too great. Especially swimming.” Marina says as Kimari smirks.

“Yeah, how about we do some swimming today and show off Hina’s love for the ocean?” Kimari says as Hina glared at the two as Rin laughs. “Wait, are you afraid of the ocean?” Rin questions as her counterpart blushes. “Me? No just..the animal life gives me the creeps sometimes.” She says as Rin nods and places a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry I get ya. I hate spooky stuff like that too.” She says as Komachi giggles.

“Actually then why don’t we do a test of courage with the woods on the island. While me and Kimari were walking yesterday, I couldn’t help but think it was perfect for it.” She says as Rin gives a scared look. “NO! I mean..no that’s not something we should do so early in the year.” Rin says as Hina nods as Tanomi giggles. As they hear their friend / girlfriend laughing at their misfortune the two look to Tanomi.

“What’s so funny?” They question in harmony as they blush a bit from it as Tanomi laughs more. “It’s nothing. Just that I am happy to see you two are friends now.” Tanomi says with a genuine smile as the two look at each other, smile then look back at her. “Of course we all are. After the hell we went through and the talks we had I am sure all of us would be friends by now. Even though Hina is a bit stubborn.” Marina says as Karen sighs.

“Rin is as well though it’s nice to see them being friendly.” Karen says as Hina and Rin glare at their blue friends. “Regardless I just can’t wait for the rest of the trip now that we all are friends. Especially with Chiefin around..though speaking of which where is she? And Coco and the others?” Urara questioned as Karen looked up.

“Oh Kurumi was going to wake up Coco and the others.” Karen says as Amai perks up. “I think Chielfin went to help out too.” She says as Hina frowns. “Those two doing anything together to do something makes me worried.” Hina says as Nozomi shakes her head.

“Awww don’t worry I’m sure they're just fine.” Nozomi says before the group hears humming as Kurumi skips into the kitchen singing a little song under her breath. And with a rather odd smile on her face as she faces everyone. “Oh hey speak of the devil. Did you wake up Coco and the others, Kurumi?” Nozomi questions as Kurumi looks at her and smiles.

“Oh yes! I did! Coco, Nuts, and Syrup should be here soon.” She says with a giggle as the group looks confused at what she said. But Amai ignores it. “Oh that’s good to hear.” She says as Kurumi faces her and smiles. “Amai!” She yells before hugging the blonde which confuses her and the others. “Ahh um thank you Kurumi.” She says as Kurumi looks at her and nods before smiling.

“Hehe sorry it’s just you look so pretty today! I love your hair!” She says happily as Amai blushes as Karen looks a little annoyed and Hina turns to Rin. “Is..Kurumi flirting with Amai?” She questions as Rin gives a disbelieving look. “I don’t..I..” She said, baffled by Kurumi’s attitude. That is before stomping is heard by the group as a rather annoyed Syrup enters the room and points to Kurumi.

“You..” He says angry as his death glares at Kurumi as she smiles while the others look confused. “What’s wrong Syrup? Did Kurumi do something wrong?” Urara questions, as she is confused at her boyfriend’s anger. “I’m not Syrup! And that’s not Kurumi! I am!” Syrup says as the purple haired girl giggles.

“I don’t know you look like Syrup to me. And I look like Kurumi, so I am Kurumi.” She says with a playful smirk as Syrup looks about ready to tackle her before a hand goes in front stopping his attack.

The hand belonged to a rather annoyed looking Coco who entered the room and looked at Kurumi. “This is not funny. Switch us back now.” Coco says in a rather serious and not very Coco like voice as Nozomi looks puzzled.

“Now everyone, let's not get too mad. It’s just a little practical joke.” A rather calming Nuts says as he enters the room and places a hand on Coco’s shoulders. As he gives a kind and friendly expression which Komachi looks confused by.

“Coco Sama, I will not have this thing parade around as me while I am trapped in the body of someone else, much less a boy like Syrup!” Syrup says annoyed as Nozomi nods. “Okay, that's definitely Kurumi all right. Syrup would never say Coco Sama. Though if he’s Kurumi then she must be..” Nozomi says as the others nod as Amai finishes while sighing.

“Chiefin, did you switch their bodies and your own with Kurumi again?” Amai questions with a frown as she looks at Kurumi who simply gives a nervous laugh as Rin faceplants into the table before raising her head back up and glaring at the purple haired girl. “Oh for love of..just switch them back already. The last thing we need on this vacation is any more body swaps!” Rin yells before Urara perks up.

“Wait, so if she's in Kurumi’s body, Kurumi is in Syrup’s body, Coco is in Nut’s Body, and Nut’s is in Coco’s Body..then Syrup must be.” Urara says before a purple angry looking fairy creature emerges and floats over to Chielfin’s in Kurumi’s Body. “Chi! Chi Chi Elf!” It’s said as the group sighs. “It would seem he is in Chielfin’s body.” Karen says as Nozomi frowns.

“This is so weird. Especially seeing Coco act like Nuts.” Nozomi says as Komachi nods. “I agree..it’s odd seeing Nuts act like Coco.” She says as the two males blush as Kurumi blushes more. “How do you think I feel! At least they are the same gender and of similar stature. I went from a beautiful female caregiver to this average looking boy mail carrier!” She says as Syrup in Chielfin’s body glares at her as Urara sat up with a pout.

“Hey Syrup is not average! He is a very handsome boy!” Urara yells as Chielfin in Kurumi’s body giggles. “Yeah you shouldn’t say such things about yourself, Syrup. You look rather handsome, even if you’ll never be as pretty as me.” The Kowaina turned girl said with a flick of Kurumi’s hair and a playful smirk decorating her face.

As she says this, Kurumi started to blink Syrup’s eye rapidly in frustration before she began to yell back and soon a massive yelling match broke out with the Yes 5 team, Chielfin and Amai. All the while Kimari, Marina, Hina and Tanomi look on at the group.

“This is an interesting group of friends you have, Tanomi.” Hina says as Tanomi. “Yes, though they are now your friends as well.” She says with a smile as Hina smiles back. “I suppose you're right.” She says as the four watch on as Kurumi in Syrup's body chases Chiefin in Kurumi’s body all through the living room and kitchen as the others try to de-escalate the fight to the best of their abilities.

Yes it seems this trip still has many fun experiences up ahead for the Pretty Cures both the Yes 5 group and the Mirrored Five. Though at least now the two groups have begun to form friendships. Once that hopefully will last for a long time to come as they continue their redemptive journey together!

Notes:

And Done!

So staring off we have Chielfin. So since I started working on this one while I knew I wanted Chielfin to be mischievous in swapping the girls I also knew I wanted to not hurt her since she is based on Manaphy. So giving her to Amai and having the two of them become partners was obvious. Especially since as you can probably tell given her purple color and bound with one of the girls in the team..yeah she is kinda becoming an analogue for Milk.

Which given her swaps with Milk probably should have been obvious. As for that second wave, I did wanna have a bit of fun. Mostly since they were left out of it for the most part and even more so my first one. Though I will say I did break a bit of my own rules in regards to Body Swaps at least with this show. Due to the..nature of people inhabiting others bodies I always wanted to keep it as girl swapping with another girl, like how the show has. (With the exception of Tarte but he is a fairy and never gets a human form, so I think that's fine) But in this case I knew I was gonna do Nuts swapping with Coco cause that joke was obvious and rather fun. And then I just had Syrup and Kurumi and well I decided to go with since one they are fairies so it's not as creepy in mind as normal humans switching. And secondly, I just thought it would be funny to have her be so overdramatic as Syrup. Also to fuck with her since I still have some annoyance to her from early Yes 5, so that's also true :)

As for Chielfin's actual personality once we see her speak I knew I wanted to play up the almost baby like personality of Manaphy in the movie but also give her just a bit of playful nature in swapping with Kurumi. And I will have her learn to talk soon I just wanted to wait on that one.

And then we have Bunbee's section which I will say I feel I could've done better but I think it came out well enough. The importance was to have him appear and help out the girls by giving useful information. As well as me explaining how Nightmare worked with electricity despite being in another dimension. So it hit two birds with one stone!

But with that said now that the Dark Five have become the Mirrored Five and officially have all patched things up with their respective counterparts and started the path to friendship, it's only a matter of time before I have them go to their next stage of growth. You all should know what I mean but that. But before I do..I have a certain fic in mind for next time. One I might've given up doing at one point but now feel confident I can do it. Even if I should stress it might not be done before the end of March. Both for the length I have in mind and my availability of time and due to June being a more fitting month to release such a fic. Still I hope you look froward to that and as always thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Chapter 7: Bonus Chapter: Homonymous Blonde and Birdy

Summary:

After the body swapping is over, Syrup has a talk with Urara about what she said in his defense as Urara, Amai and Syrup all realize a funny connection they have in common causing much jokes from Amai and annoyance from the bird boy.

Notes:

Just a little joke idea to add a bit more to the fic that I may or may not have been struggling how to address. :)

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“Phew, thank god that is over.” Syrup says as he and the other fairies were now back in their proper bodies, and he now changed into his casual attire and not sleepwear, as he sits down on a couch near Urara and Amai. The others had all gone off to do a variety of things before the big events of the day were settled on.

Namely to have a bit of time in the water and the pool of the resort, much to a certain orange / red haired girl's lament. But another with green hair soon kicked that argument in the back..both figuratively and literally. But as he sat down Urara smiled at her boyfriend.

“I agree. It was weird hearing Kurumi be you.” She says with a frown as the boy chuckles. “Yeah she doesn’t have my natural charm.” He says with a smirk as Urara giggles a bit before he sighed. “Although, if you think that’s weird, just imagine how it was for me being in Chielfin’s body.” He says as Amai looks at him with a frown.

“Hey Syrup, sorry about her! I swear I am gonna have a talk with her later once she wakes up from Kurumi’s..” She says as she pauses to look at her sleeping Pouch Monster friend now unconscious on the table near them with swirls to indicate she was “knocked out” like in the video games. “Punishment.” Amai says with a sad tone before looking back at him.

As she did, Syrup flashed a small but kind smile. “I gotcha. I am sure you can help her understand not to do it again. For all of our shakes given, I don't know how Kurumi would react if she did it anymore. If next time she ends up in Karen, Coco, or Nut’s bodies then she’d probably try to cook her.” He jokes as the other two give out little laughs to it as Amai frowns as she pets the creature’s head. “I promise I will not allow that to happen.” She says as Syrup looks toward Urara now.

“Though speaking of the swap, thanks for what you said about me being handsome, Rara.” He says as Amai pauses as Urara brightens her smile and nods. “Of course! No one gets away with insulting anything about my precious Shiroh!” Urara says with a giggle but a serious look as he laughed too.

“Shiroh? Rara?” Amai questions as the boy blushes in realization as his girlfriend had no such feelings as she turned to her friend. “Oh yes. We recently have taken to calling each other by nicknames when we wanna say something nice. In my case it’s a shortening of my name while with him it’s his civilian name.” She says as Amai nods.

“Oh wow I didn’t think of it but yeah you would have to have a different name from Syrup to go to school or just exist on earth.” She says as he nods. “Yep. Really I thought of it when I started to work at the school’s cafeteria. My name is Shiroh..” He said before his eyes widened as he looked at Amai.

“What’s wrong, Syrup?” Amai questions as Urara registers what he was about to say before she lets out the loudest laugh so far. So much so Nuts who had been reading on a couch nearby and ignoring the conversation looked up from his book and gave a slight glare as Urara paused and quieted down.

“Urara? What’s so funny?” Amai questions as her blonde friend stops her giggles as she looks at her. “Well I didn’t think about it since he really only goes by Shiroh..but his family name is Amai.” She says as Amai looks shocked and soon laughs as well though quiets as Nuts looks at her now. As she did she smiled.

“Wow what are the chances huh?” She questions as Syrup sighs. “Yeah I guess that’s fair. Still weird it would happen with both of us given our relationships to Urara.” Syrup says as Amai nods. “Yeah. Though that also makes me and Urara’s sisterhood weird in the future.” She says as Syrup looks confused.

“Sisterhood?” He questions as Urara nods. “Oh well it’s just that I kinda asked her if she’d like to be my step sister given we're already so close and well..our history together.” She says as Amai nods. “Yep! So if you two get married in the future then my name would go from Amai Kasugano to Amai Amai.” She says as Syrup looks at the girl as he blushes and then growls.

“Hey! Who said we were getting married?” He questions as Amai giggles. “I figured it was a given since you and Urara are dating.” Amai says as Syrup sighs. “I..mean..um it’s definitely a possibility but..” He says getting flustered as Amai giggled.

“You're right, he is fun to mess with.” Amai says looking at Urara as she giggles too. “Yep. Isn’t he cute when he gets this way.” Urara says as she nods as the boy grows more red in the face. “Oh 100%. You really are lucky to have found someone like him. I hope I can find someone like that someday.” Amai says as Urara nods. “You will! I guarantee it!” She says as Amai smiles.

As she does, a growling is heard as the two look to see a very angry Syrup as the two calm down and laugh a bit. As they do Nuts is still reading though smirks slightly at the boy’s annoyance yet also the heartwarming bound Amai and Urara have made. Even if he prays they will move soon to allow them to have fun while also giving him time to read his book.

Notes:

So to conclude this joke has been in my head I would say for a few months now. Since around I'd say when writing my ship fic for Urara and Syrup I kinda realized a certain name I never realized was his before. I will say Amai's name is 100% not connect to his own it's a confidence.

Her name came from thinking the word Mai with A sounded cute and like A dance or dancer thus fitting with her eventual choice in hobby / club. Really I am confused why Syrup's last name is Amai but it definitely made this funny.

Also to show the aftermath of Chielfin's swap and Kurumi's punishment since it was way to funny to pass up! And with that I am done with this fic now and hope you enjoyed!
