Chapter Text
At the host club, Michiru woke up, stretching. She felt her forehead first. Her fever has come down, making her happy. She turned to see the Host Club was empty and dark. When she removed the covers, she spotted something. It was the spritizer and gem. The honey wand has disappeared into the bottle.
“What’s this?” Michiru asked.
She saw the gem recognizing it. It was her ladybug candy given from the old man and realizing her mother destroyed it.
“Not part of Diablo’s order!” Her mother’s voice rang.
"Open your eyes and let the hate go," Dulcinea/Bliss’ voice rang.
Michiru held her head breathing hard. She was still confused and remorse of her actions and the lies.
She sighs, thinking, ‘What am I going to do?’
A voice came, “Michiru?”
Michiru yelped and hid the bottle and gem behind her.
Tsubasa spoke coming in dressed like the March Hare, “You’re awake? Good, I’m so relieved.”
Michiru saw his costume in bewilder.
“Why are you dress like the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland?” Michiru asked.
“Today’s host club theme is Alice in Wonderland.” Tsubasa explained.
Koji spoke coming in holding an Alice costume, “And I got you a costume too.”
“Huh?” Michiru asked. “An Alice costume?”
Koji spoke smirking, “Yep, I bought it just for you. Wanna try it on?”
"Uh it's very... blue." Michiru said.
"Well of course, Alice always wears blue in every story or adaption of her story." Koji pointed out.
He hands it to Michiru. She held it up, looking at it.
"Try it on." Tsubasa suggested smiling.
Michiru looks at it again. She looks unsure about wearing it. She thinks what the harm could it be and goes to put it on.
At Edmund's apartment he was trying to put on a Cheshire cat costume.
"I hate it when he changes the theme at the last minute." Edmund said.
He groaned because of the tail and ears.
"Why did I agree to be a cat?" Edmund asked.
Edmund looked seeing Pollyanna making his lunch.
"...Chocolate pudding cup, sandwiches, bottle of juice, carrot sticks, and tomatoes." Pollyanna muffled.
"Thanks, Pollyanna." Edmond smiled.
"Got to make sure you eat healthy." Pollyanna replied.
"Right."
He took his lunch and grabs his things.
"I still can't believe you still have to be there, and school was over last week." Pollyanna said.
"I have to keep a roof over our heads. Plus, now we have a girl to take care of until she gets back on her feet."
"Oh, a sick or injured client?" Pollyanna asked nodding. "Bet you guys should have dressed as doctors."
"We did that a month ago." Edmond dully said.
"Just kidding."
"But she's not one of our regular clients. She's a classmate of yours."
Pollyanna turned to Edmond. "What do you mean?"
"I promised not to talk about her much outside but she said she's troubled." Edmond said. "And that she never had friends and has interest in music, clockwork, and steampunk."
"I don't think I heard of a classmate like that." Pollyanna said. "But Carminda said something about someone liking music."
"Exactly." Edmond said opening the door. "Just be home before bed. Me and the boys will take care of Michiru and have a fun day."
He closed the door. Pollyanna nodded and called, "Okay!"
Soon the apartment was shown outside, pretty quiet. Then suddenly, an image of Pollyanna in a thought bubble cried out, "EHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!"

She breathed hard. She slowly turns. But yelps to see Aurora. She turns off the music and looks firm but was blushing hard.
"How long were you there?" Kaya asked.
"Since the "Norway and Sweden, and Iceland, and Finland, and Germany now one piece" part." Aurora answered.
Kaya blushed embarrassed. "I was uh... practicing my geography."
"But it's summer vacation." Aurora reminded.
"You can never be too prepared." Kaya said. She then asked, "What are you doing here anyway?"
"I came to see you but above all, Pollyanna just informed me something." Aurora said.
"Oh, really? What?" Kaya asked.
"She wouldn't say only that we all need to meet at her brother's school." Aurora said.
"But we can't go to the high school, we're not old enough and we only have two years until we get to high school."
"Well, let's meet up with the girls and think of a plan."
Kaya nodded. But she quoted, "And not a word about this, I want to tell them on my own."
Aurora nodded and zipped her lip.
"Oh I will." Keriann spoke laughing.
"Not a word from you." Aurora scolded.
--------
At Dulcinea’s, she was looking at the Scepter of Wishes. She’s trying to figure out what it is for and why she has it whether human or cure form. Frosting watch her as he was eating Ding-Dongs. She picked it up as the jewel glowed.
“So, not only it’s my weapon but it appears anytime as a human or cure?” Dulcinea asked. “Wonder what else it can do.”
“It can turn into an instrument.” Frosting pointed out.
“Right.” Dulcinea nodded.
Dulcinea walked tripping on her stool.
"OW! Blazes!" She said as the gem glowed.
Frosting yelped seeing that. So, did Dulcinea. There was a short silence between them.
Worried, he asked, "You sure you didn't leave out any itty-bitty detail out?”
“Well, when I tripped on the stool I said blaze… Whoa!" Dulcinea said as her specter jewel glowed blasting a pillow making Choco squeal and hid with Frosting at the end of the bed.
Dulcinea opened her eyes seeing the pillow charred and smoking as she looked shocked as Frosting peeked out freaked
"Drop it! And step away from the scepter!" Frosting said motioning Dulcinea to put it down which she did carefully.
"And do not say blaze." he whispered.
"What in the world?" Dulcinea asked.
Dulcinea heard her phone ringing which played, OK KO Let’s be Heroes theme. She took the phone and answers it.
“Hola?” Dulcinea asked. She heard Pollyanna’s voice. “Hi, Polly.” She then heard something making her gasp. “You find who? Where?! Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon!”
She hangs up, grabs her scepter to put it in her bag, and grabs Frosting.
“YIPE!” He called. “Where are we going?”
"Edmund's high school." Dulcinea answered.
-------
Later at the high school, Edmond arrived in his costume. He slid his school ID on the gate and walked into the building. Just before the gate closed, Pollyanna grabbed it. She looks around to make sure the coast was clear. She motioned the girls and Frosting as Issei to followed and they did.
“You sure about this, Polly?” Rosaline asked.
“Of course, I am.” Pollyanna answered.
Haniko leaps in and did a karate pose. She then went behind a tree. Rosaline did the same thing as well. Dulcinea, Aurora, and Issei tip-toes inside. Kaya came in looking very nervous for breaking in. Pollyanna closed the gates.
"Wow! It's bigger and fancier than our school! It's like a castle!" Haniko exclaimed seeing the school building.
"I know right?" Pollyanna agreed.
"You been here before?" Dulcinea asked.
"Only once or twice with Edmond." Pollyanna explained. "Nowadays, I sneak in."
"It’s amazing!" Kaya sighed in admiration.
The girls creeped up to a door. They opened it and looked inside. They were amazed that the entrance of the building has golden painted staircase and a chandiler. There were also large painted windows.
"If this is what we have to look forward too, I can't wait for high school." Rosaline said.
"Me too." Haniko agreed.
The girls walked up stairs. Kaya was still shivering in worry and nervousness. Soon Pollyanna approached a door. The girls and Issei were next to her.
“I think this might the room.” Pollyanna said. She looks up to see it says, "Library Room 2".
"The abandoned library?" Kaya asked. "Oh, my goodness!"
"Hold it. We can't just walk in." Dulcinea said.
"Why not?" Pollyanna asked.
"Well, we are already trespassing and sneaking in." Dulcinea reminded as Kaya pulls her bun.
Keirann spoke to Aurora, “Oh, come on!”
"Keirann, wait!" But it was too late, Aurora changes to Keirann. She pulls her hair down making it wild. She exclaimed, "Come on, girls! Let's crash the party!"
“YEAH!” Haniko cheered.
Dulcinea spoke nervous, "Oh no, wait, wait!"
Keriann kicks the door down and called, "Okay, bring on the party! Let's find our classmate and get the heck out of Dodge!"
The host club members turned and stared at the girls.
Edmond exclaimed to Pollyanna seeing her trying to hide, “Pollyanna Roberts!”
“Exit stage left!” Pollyanna called going to run.
Edmond chased after her. Pollyanna screams as he chases her.
"And I thought I get chased all the time." Rosaline points out.
This continued until Edmond saw Pollyanna was nowhere. He frowned and leans on the door. He hides opening and closing a door, "Oh, I guess I can't find her. So, I'll just give up and go to the bathroom!"
He hides as Pollyanna came out of hiding from a janitor’s closet. Edmond jumps at her. The two rolled around until he was on top of her. Pollyanna struggled and hissed like a snake.
"Pollyanna Roberts, what do you think you are doing?! Sneaking back here again!" Edmond scolded.
“You said you had Michiru!” Pollyanna shouted.
"And I told you not to sneak here anymore!" Edmond scolded.
"But Pollyanna's welcome anytime." Koji reminded.
Edmond slapped his forehead before seeing Pollyanna's friends.
"And you brought your friends!?" Edmond asked.
"You see Edmund we…" Dulcinea started as Michiru came out. She was dressed as Alice. She was adjusting the large bow. She gasped and stopped to see Dulcinea and the girls.
“Hey!” Haniko greeted to Michiru.
Michiru tried to run.
"Oh no, not this time." Rosaline said.
Rosaline leaps up and pins Michiru down.
"Looks like you're not the only one who pins people to the ground." Burai spoke to Edmond.
Edmond groaned. He got up but held Pollyanna by her arm.
Kaya spoke explaining leaving out stuff about being pretty cures, "Look, allow me to explain in little words as I can. Michiru was acting mean because her parents were pressuring her to be mean, so we try to help her see the light and try to give her chocolates. But then something happened to make her cry and she ran away."
“Hai! We’ve been worried about her so when Polly heard Edmund say her name we had to come.” Aurora added.
Michiru was legitimately stunned to hear all of that. Despite they were covering up the cure part, she realized they care for her.
"So, please forgive us for sneaking in like this." Dulcinea said.
"Are you her friend, classmate, or no?" Tsubasa asked.
The girls and Issei nodded with rattle sounds.
"Michiru said she doesn't have any friends, so you are her classmates?" Burai asked.
The girls and Issei shook their heads again. Michiru was still surprised they came to check on her. And remembering they helped her, seeing they were doing it out of concern and never had friends, Michiru had an idea.
"Yes, they are my friends." Michiru admitted.
Everyone turned to her.
Kanato spoke to the girl, "Are you sure? You said you didn't have any friends."
"Well, they are not just yet, but they did try to help me." Michiru said. "And I apologize for running away."
The girls and Issei turned to each other.
"Uh, Edmond," Dulcinea spoke up, blushing a bit. "Can we talk to Michiru? Separately and alone? Please?"
Edmund spoke to Dulcinea smiling, "Of course, Dulcinea. Especially since after Michiru's been through and got sick a few days ago, gladly." He turned to Pollyanna with a glare. "We'll pick this up later, young lady."
"Yes, sir..." Pollyanna said.
Dulcinea pulls Pollyanna outside and the girls and Issei did a secret hustle.
"What do you mean separately and alone?" Rosaline asked.
"Rosie, remember, we were Pretty Cures when this happen." Dulcinea reminded. "We can't tell the boys we are cures. Issei and Amakusa said so and Amakusa will threatened the boys like he did with Alya and Lilia."
"He didn't threatened Robert, Rexx, Rainn," Rosaline said.
"What about Roger?" Kaya asked worried.
"He's a baby. He won't remember all of it and thinks it was all pretend." Rosaline said. She then made a threat. "AND IF AMAKUSA THREATENS ROGER OR ANY OF MY BROTHERS, I'M GONNA BUST HIM RIGHT IN THE NOSE!!!"
The girls and Issei freaked out for a moment. Then calms down for Aurora to speak.
"So, let's draw straws on who goes first." Aurora said.
"We don't have any straws." Haniko said. "But I got something better: licorice sticks."
Haniko turns around, biting noises were heard (she was eating a few to make them long, short, or medium), and comes back holding them.
"The rules are always the same since the dawn of pyramids: Whoever gets the long straw, goes first." Kaya instructed.
The group drew straws showing Rosaline with the longest. Rosaline smiled she won but got worried what she should say. She remembered something and smiled she could finally tell Michiru this.
"Okay, I'll do it." Rosaline said with determination.
Rosaline walked back inside and went to Michiru.
"Where should we talk private?" Rosaline asked.
"There's the guidance counselor room downstairs." Koji said. "Mind if I guide you?"
"Nah, I can find my way around." Rosaline assured, stretching her arm.
"No way! I'll take you!" Raito called.
He took Rosaline and Michiru's hands and drag them in mid-air.
In the guidance room, Rosaline was now talking to Michiru. Rosaline and Michiru felt comfortable since it was like having a conference in a guidance counselor room. But for Rosaline, it reminds her of Amakusa. They had a long awkward silence for a moment.
Rosaline broke it by saying, "So uh... Michiru, I know you might not like it, but you know Alistar?"
"Yes, he and I worked together." Michiru said sadly. "One time we used to date each other during Freshmen year. But we didn't like-like each other, we only did that to gain more popularity."
"I see. Well, I think you should know something.” Rosaline explained. "While he was dating you he was also dating the captain of the tennis club."
"Tomoko?!"
"Yeah! I saw them once while I was on the club, but I left when Tomoko tried to buy my silence when I threatened to tell you." Rosaline added.
Michiru looks down sadly and betrayed.
"It's okay. You're better off without him, especially since I gave him a taste of his own medicine." Rosaline spoke comforting her.
"That he stole your first kiss?" Michiru asked.
Rosaline smirked, "No. He didn't. It was taken already."
"By whom?" Michiru asked.
Rosaline blushed, "Kyouske." She turned a bit embarrassed. "He... he came to my 8th birthday when it was ruined. He tried to cheer me up. And as he did, he tripped and kissed me. Luckily my brothers and my dad did not see that..."
"Do you like him?" Michiru asked.
Rosaline was not sure if she does or not. Kyouske has changed a bit, but they still did not feel ready to persuade a relationship just yet. Rosaline was still hoping to meet in the middle.
Rosaline spoke to the girl, "I'm... not sure just yet. I mean he and I grew up together and knew each other for a long time. So, I'm not ready until he meets in the middle."
"Oh. Well, I didn't mean to ask since you two were polar opposites." Michiru pointed out how Kyouske was a Type A while Rosaline was a rebellious, sporty type.
Rosaline spoke feeling her power of Cure Spice, "You can't choose who you fall for."
"You can't?" Michiru
"No, it has to come naturally. Like how Russell meet Lydia." Rosaline spoke.
Interested, Michiru asked, "How did they meet?"
"It was last year, my brother had a crush on Lydia who, unknown to him, also had a crush on him. My brother meets her when she was cheering for him for his softball game."
“And?”
"He gave her an autograph picture of his team in her bag along with a love letter. Then they got together at the best restaurant in the world." Rosaline spoke smiling.
“What's that?” Michiru asked.
"The Japanese French fusion place."
"Oh, I love fusion cuisines. My favorite menu is the escargot sushi and shrimp dish."
"Escar-what?"
"Snails."
Rosaline gaged as Haniko came in for her turn. "My turn!"
"Wait, are you going to tell me what happen?" Michiru asked Rosaline.
"It's okay. I'll tell you more later." Rosaline assured, winking.
Michiru was alone with Haniko it was quiet for a moment until Haniko said something shocking
"I'm sorry, Michiru." Haniko said.
"Eh?" Michiru asked.
"I always hated villains growing up because they were scary and mean all the time. But after Dulcinea tried to help you and Amakusa said I'll be in detention for a whole month when school starts, I realized maybe villains aren't so bad after all." Haniko explained.
Michiru stared sadly.
"But also, there are some villains who can change." Haniko added. "Like you."
Michiru blushed hearing that.
"And to prove I like villains, my friends and I started to watch Villainous, English and Spanish. And Kaya translated all of it in Japanese." Haniko sheepishly said. Then normally said, "And we just cosplayed and acted it out with Aurora's help."
"Oh... well... is it because Aurora's a good fashion designer? I have to admit, she is pretty good and I was kind of jealous."
"Well that but she has a secret but that's for her to tell not me." Haniko said. "So now, you don't have to keep secrets from us."
Michiru spoke blushing, "Well... I guess you're right. And I'll tell you all my secrets soon."
Haniko smiled.
Now it was Aurora's turn. Aurora came in nervous. She sat down and rubbed her hands together.
"Uh, Aurora, I have to admit something to you. I was... kind of... jealous you were a fashion maker. And I was secretly glad you changed the school uniforms. Despite I go there under my boss' orders, the uniforms were the ugliest and dullest. Which was why I wish they had something more... my style."
Aurora looks up a bit and asked, "Really? Well… thanks..."
"And remember the time I spread rumors about you liking girls over guys?" Michiru asked. "It was because of my jealousy."
Instead of being hurt, Aurora simply said, "I don't mind."
"Eh?"
Aurora admits her sexuality, “I'm bisexual I like both boys and girls.” She added, “So, even though it was a rumor, it's true and I can handle it."
"Oh? I thought normally you'd cry for days." Michiru pointed out.
"No, a rumor about me liking girls is one thing, there are other things that upset me." Aurora said. "Like people finding out my secret I'm embarrassed to tell, pranks, insults, or people talking about my grandfather behind my back."
Curious and worried, Michiru asked, "Your grandfather?"
"Yes, he taught me everything from puzzles to playing a violin. He also read me stories when I went to bed." Aurora explained. "He kind of raised me a quarter of my life along with my mother and father."
"That's nice."
But Aurora looked sad and said, "Yeah, he's passed away years ago."
“I am so sorry.”
"It’s alright. He's at peace now.”
"I wonder what's it like to have a grandfather. The only parent I only have is my mother."
"Oh well, a grandfather is technically your mother or father's father. Or a vampire's case, vampa."
"Vampa?"
"Vampire grandpa. It was obvious."
Michiru giggled.
Now it was Kaya's turn only she has a notepad and pencil, like she was going to take notes in class.
“What’s that for?” Michiru asked.
"It's a habit. I always take notes in a conversation." Kaya asked.
Michiru nodded. "Is there... anything you want to share?"
"Well, I know I'm supposed to comfort you and tell you what I love to do but let me ask you a few questions." Kaya said. "I know I'm not a detective, but just bear with me."
"Okay, fire away."
"Well, I know you, Alistar, Incubo, and Elora I used to respect before she died go to our school as a cover." Kaya said. "But where's the real base?"
Michiru spoke touching her head, "It's in... in... I..." A heartbeat sound was heard. "I... I don't remember."
Kaya got worried, but she wrote down the results.
"I mean I used to before, but now... it's fading fast."
Kaya pondered. But then she remembered when they fought her a week ago and reformed her, Michiru was starting to lose her memories of her evil deeds. Even though Kaya thinks forgetting you were a villain was a good thing. But the bad thing was Kaya was hoping if she and the others knew where Diablo was hiding, they would track him.
“Gomen.” Michiru spoke
Kaya spoke referring to how Michiru had been used, "Well, Michiru, after seeing that you think good is bad and bad is good, I think you were being used. Brainwashed into thinking Pretty Cures and positive wish is negative."
"But if I was brainwash, would it..."
"Brainwashing doesn't have to be magic, powers, or a snap of the finger." Kaya said. "It's like how a mean person raises a pitbull or a Doberman to be mean kind of brainwash."
Michiru spoke thinking of her mother, "I... guess I see what you mean. My mother just raised me to grant negative wish energy and kill positivity and the cures if they ever came."
"I bet your mother said she loved you, care for you?" Kaya asked. "Because mothers are supposed to be nurturing and caring. I mean my mother embarrassing me, especially when it comes to her and my father acting lovey-dovey on occasions, but I still love them no matter what."
"Never thought of it." Michuru said.
Kaya smiled having an idea when this is over. She said, "If it's okay, maybe you could visit each of our families to see what family truly means. But here's a quick note, just because some tend to argue, headbutts, and other miscreants in the household, that's only to show family always fight and argue but not too seriously."
Michiru nodded.
"But also, I'll let you know one thing. Families do not tend to use their kids for evil or selfish reasons." Kaya added. "Like you mother."
"And Diablo?" Michiru asked. "Even though he's not my father, he tends to be a little... uh... um..."
"So nice but not so nice?" Kaya asked. "I've seen that before. People who raised you to be evil sometimes uses kindness to get them on their good sides."
Pollyanna came in. "My turn!"
"Oh, come on, I haven't tell her my comic book character I changed." Kaya said frowning.
"It's okay, we can talk about it later. I got more clients to talk to." Michiru said smiling.
Kaya frowned a bit at the joke. But she shrugs, writes, and walks off.
“I like to say I’m so glad my brother and his friends took care of you.” Pollyanna quoted.
“Thank you.” Michiru said.
"And I like to tell you something."
"If it's about me and your friend Carminda, I know she was trying to be popular."
"Actually, it's something else." Pollyanna corrected.
“Yeah?” Michiru asked.
"I just think Carminda is a poser. You have to forgive her. She's been like this even when we were kids."
"So, it is true, you guys are friends?"
"I know most people don't like that. But she was still the only friend I ever had growing up... that is until... mom and dad died."
Michiru nodded sadly. But then after hearing poser, she spoke, "Well, when she was hanging out with me, she told me something that I was surprised even though I was evil."
“What?” Pollyanna asked.
"Carminda said she was jealous of you."
"Jealous of me why?"
"She told me you have a wonderful family and a life. And even after your mom and dad died during a cruise, you have a cool older brother. She doesn't. Her mother and father were never home and she's an only child growing up."
"Oh? I didn't know. That's why she never talked about her parents a lot."
"Because it was kind of touchy subject."
Pollyanna nodded, "I wish I could talk to her without being bullied."
"I can try when this is over."
"Deal."

"Dulcinea will be next. Thanks for the talk." Pollyanna said as Dulcinea was next.
Michiru nodded. Dulcinea came in while Pollyanna left the room.
"Hi, Dulcinea." Michiru greeted seeing the girl.
"Hey, I'm glad to see you’re ok" Dulcinea said.
Michiru smiled a little.
“So, what do you want to talk about?” Michiru asked the girl.
"Well, there's so much especially since I am so glad we're slowly becoming friends." Dulcinea answered.
“Oh, I see.”
Michiru then asked Dulcinea on why was she so nice to her when she was still a bully.
"Why did you try to help me I've been nothing but mean to you?”
Dulcinea smiled seeing Ferdinand.
"I told you, I’m used to being bullied. But above all, we're classmates and it's always nice to help out classmates. I could tell you were very troubled and confused."
Dulcinea handed her Ferdinand.
Outside the high school, Alistar and Incubo looked at the building.
"Oh-ho, nice high school! I can't wait to get started to here." Alistar said. "If we can stick around to our jobs long enough."
"Stuff it, Alistar! We're not there to see our new high school," Incubo reminded.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You spotted the cures going inside."
"And what's great, Pollyanna's brothers' stupid club is here too." Incubo added. "Them and their charming women. Bleh!"
"I don't know. I kinda want to join or make a club like that."
"You got three fangirls. You think they let you do a club?"
Alistar shrugged with a smirk as he walked in, using his powers to open the gates. "Come on, we got a party to crash."
Incubo frowned and followed. He made a slight tease.
"Oh, and if we find Michiru, can I still say you were dating the tennis club captain?" Incubo asked. "Tomoko still thinks your cute."
Alistar blasted negatite at Incubo's rear. He yelped holding his rear.
"Ow! What did I do?" Incubo asked sounding like Eustace (Courage the Cowardly Dog).
They then walked in.
Back with Dulcinea and Michiru,
Michiru asked, looking at Ferdinand, "So you made him for me?"
"Yep, as a gift."
"A... gift?"
"You know, it's something you give someone you like or close to. It's a generosity feeling."
Michiru gets it a little. She held up the toy. She then pulls out the ladybug wrapper she kept from her hat.
'Wow, how does she get those things out of her hat?' Dulcinea thinks. 'It's like it's a dimensional pocket or something.'
"You're not the first one to give me a "gift'. When I was little, a kind old man gave me ladybug chocolate. It was the first sweet I ever tasted." Michiru explained.
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I wish I could find him and say... say...."
"Thank you."
"Yes, that word."
Dulcinea spoke taking Michiru's hand, "Oh, Michiru, I'm so glad you are slowly becoming nice."
Michiru smiled. But frowns thinking of the whole school still hates her.
"Even if you, the girls, Issei, the boys, and possibly Amakusa forgive me, i'm not sure about the whole school." Michiru pointed out.
Dulcinea pondered over that. She then had an idea.
"I got it. Instead of apologizing by words, do something." Dulcinea said. "My mother always told me actions speak louder than words."
"What could I do then?" Michiru said.
"Well, when my brother made my parents mad, he had to do something he was good at; Cooking."
"I can't cook."
"Well, what are you good at?"
Michiru pondered. She then pulls out a sheet of music that's half down. She held it up to Dulcinea blushing. Dulcinea reads it.
"You're into music, or in Kaya's words musically inclined?"
Michiru nodded.
"Perfect. I'll show the girls. But Issei will talk to you next." Dulcinea exclaimed taking it to show the others.
Michiru nodded. Issei came in with arms crossed. Michiru noticed looking away nervously. Dulcinea looked worried.
"Frosting don't be too hard on her." Dulcinea said to the mascot.
Issei nodded before walking up to her. The two were quiet, not in an awkward way. It was more of “this may not end well” kind of silence.
"Hello, Sir Frosting of Kibotochi Kingdom. And whatever you're going to do, I'll accept the punishment." Michiru spoke to Frosting as he was a knight of the Kibotochi Kingdom.
"Actually, I'm not going to punish you. Besides that's not my job." Issei said.
"Then why are you mad at me?" Michiru asked.
Issei sighed before explaining, "It's about Queen Fantasia. She wanted so to give you a chance. You see, like Dulcinea and her friends, she sees the good in everyone. And after she told me what she witnesses, she realizes Dulcinea was right about you; you were delusional and troubled."
"Even so, how?" Michiru asked.
"Well, she would like to make you a Pretty Cure."
Michiru gasped a bit. She then pulls out the perfume bottle and gem (with the wand inside the bottle magically) she found.
"You mean she send this?" Michiru asked.
"Yeah, I mean most of the time it comes from a wish or the heart." Issei said.
"But... I was horrible..." Michiru reminded.
"Michiru, here's something you need to know. Amakusa was just like you, evil. But then he reformed thanks to Fantasia because... (he shudders a bit) he fell in love with her." Issei explained how Amakusa was bad but turned a new leaf.
Michiru was surprised to hear from Issei. But now she thinks about it, Amakusa maybe an ally but he's not so very helpful at times and he's always pranking the girls. Maybe that was a hint he used to be evil. Her question was why Amakusa never told anyone. Was it too personal?
With the girls, they were back in the Host Club. They were given sweets to help them energize. Haniko and Pollyanna ate fast like pigs. The other girls just ate normally.
"I wonder if Issei won't be too hard on Michiru." Aurora said worried as she ate a oatmeal raisin cookie.
"I'm sure it will be fine." Kaya said. "Right, Dulcinea?"
Kaya noticed Dulcinea was staring at Edmond, drinking tea.
"Dulcinea?" Kaya asked.
Pollyanna noticed and sighed, "Oh no, here we go again."
"What?' The girls asked.
Pollyanna made sure Dulcinea or the boys were not listening.
"Dulcinea has a crush on my older brother." Pollyanna admitted.
The girls gasped silently.
"But uh, isn't he too old for her?" Rosaline asked.
"Actually, Dulcinea's 14 and Pollyanna's brother is 17, 18, or 19, so there's no real age difference." Kaya said. "If he was in his twenties that's different."
Dulcinea spoke blushing, “But he’s so cool.”
"I'm sure it's just a phase." Rosaline assured.
"I wouldn't say that too loud." Haniko teased. "I mean if Alya heard about this..."
"That's different." Rosaline said. "Especially we know who actually likes Dulcinea."
"Diablo?" The girls except Dulcinea asked.
Rosaline slaps her forehead and said, "No. Not him! EW!"
Haniko saw Dulcinea was distracted. And since Issei was talking to Michiru, she decided to say something getting what Rosaline meant.
"Oh, wait, I know what you mean! (whispers) Issei has a crush on Dulcinea?" Haniko asked.
Kaya, Pollyanna, and Aurora quietly gasp. Rosaline nodded because, due to being Cure Spice, knows love.
"Yep." Rosaline said.
"I knew it!" Haniko whispered.
"It would appear so since Issei and Dulcinea are mostly around each other than he is with either of us, 100 percent of the time." Kaya explained. "But it seems like he's slowly growing onto her."
"How do you know?" Pollyanna asked.
"Well, judging by his personality and his relationship with Amakusa, my guess is that he had love before." Kaya explained. "That and I had an uncle who went through that when his wife got a divorce."
The girls nodded and say their agreements.
"But how do we get them to realize that?" Aurora asked.
"Easy, we're supposed to go to the hotel for a two week stay next week." Rosaline explained. "And it will be our first slumber party together and at a fancy hotel. We'll make them confess and let them work things out. But no rushing."
"Fantastic." Kaya nodded. "But the only way to do that is play truth or dare."
"I have an idea on that. I'll use this game the misfits gave me for a party." Pollyanna said as she held what appears to be a board game up.
"Nice." Rosaline smiled.
"I'm sorry but we only invite women only." Koji's voice spoke.
"Oh, we're not customers." Alistar's voice said getting the cures' attention.
Dulcinea exclaimed, snapping out of her trance, "Oh no!"
"Alistar!" Rosaline asked shocked.
"In fact," Alistar said as he kicks Koji into a couch knocking him out.
"Hey!" Burai yelled charging at him.
"Oops." Said Incubo as he trips Burai over. Alistar took out an impossible wish orb and scans it all over the room. He held it near Edmond but feels nothing.
"Hmm..." Alistar said.
"Hey you!" Rosaline yelled running to him.
Incubo grabs a hold of Rosaline's tank-top stopping her.
"We're not ready to fight yet, so relax." Incubo called.
He held her up a bit from the ground. Rosaline tries to reach for him.
"Oh dear," Alistar said. "I don't see any of these handsome men impossible or negative wish energy." He saw a cake on the table. "Oh well, I'll improvise."
Alistar toss the impossible wish at the cake and it turned into an Imposswish.
"Imposswish!" It called.
"HEY!" Haniko yelled. "You can't use cake for evil!"
"That's unforgivable!" Dulcinea called. "Pretty Cure! Al rescate!"
Rosaline finally punched Incubo. That made him let her go. The cures took their bottles and start to transform.
"Vanilla/Berry/Cinnamon/Cotton Candy/Mint/Citrus!" They each called. "Pretty Cure Aroma Fragrance!"
The girls then transformed into Pretty Cures.
"The love of stuffies and vanilla makes happiness...Cure Bliss!"
"The love of collectible toys and berries makes tranquility...Cure Puddin!"
"The love of vechiles and cinnamon makes love...Cure Spice!"
"The love of water toys and candy makes laughter...Cure Sugar!"
"The love of games and wood creates peace...Cure Puzzle!"
"The love of dolls and citrus makes creativity...Cure Doll!"
The six flew on shooting stars of their color toward what looks like earth.
"Starlight! Star bright! We are the first stars to see tonight!" They called.
The six land Puddin, Doll and Puzzle on the left, Spice and Sugar on the right while Bliss next to Spice was in the middle showing herself as the lead.
"Positive wish energy through toys and sweets!" They did a pose before calling, "We are Delicious! Toyland Pretty Cures!"
The Host Club members were surpsied, while Kanato and Burai were just silent. Edmond gasped in shocked. Doll, who witness this, yelped. She did not think this through about transforming without her brother and his friends in the room.
"Pollyanna... you're a... a..." Edmond spoke.
Doll spoke to her brother giggling sheepishly, “It's kind of a long story and I know I'll be so grounded for this."
"We'll explain in a bit fight now!" Sugar called.
Meanwhile, Michiru and Issei were still talking.
"I'll let you talk to him about it." Issei said. "But what I am getting at is you can be a cure."
"Even so, how?" Michiru asked. "I have changed but I don't have a pure heart or a reason to be one."
"Well, do you have a wish?" Issei asked.
Michiru paused on that question. She looks down pondering over it. However, her thoughts were cut when the monster burst in the room. Before it could hit her, Issei pushed her down. Michiru saw Issei on top of her. She was surprised but now she sees that he really was a knight. The cake monster got up right as the cures charged at him. Alistar and Incubo came in and spotted Michiru. She noticed and hid by Issei as they got up.
"Michiru!" Alistar exclaimed. "There you are! We've been looking for you!"
"We were?" Incubo asked not caring about Michiru. He shook his head and said, "I mean yeah. And... what are you wearing?"
"You two don't care. Especially how you cheated on me during our date... Alistar!" Michiru replied.
Alistar was surprised and asked, "How... I mean me, and Tomoko were not dating we were hanging out to play tennis."
Michiru glared in disbelief. Alistar sighed and said, "Alright, so I was? But now I really want you to come back."
Michiru made a smart remark, "Would that make your fan girls jealous?"
Issei made a blow-up sound effect and said, "Burn!"
Alistar stared dully and snaps his fingers. The cake monster turned to Michiru and Issei. It swap the cures away. Then it went at Michiru and Issei. Issei pushed her away as it hit him. He poofs back into Frosting when he hit a wall. Despite of it, he tried to keep it by heading butt it. The cures were surprised to see that in Frosting. Incubo just laughed at Frosting.
So was Michiru who watches in worry. Alistar approached to her.
"Oh, Michiru," Alistar spoke making her yelp. "Come back to us. We can get Diablo to grant you power again."
"I..."
"Anything, you wish it."
Michiru looks at Bliss and the cures approach the monster as Bliss saves Frosting. She looks at Frosting and at a smiling Alistar. She then remembers how Dulcinea showed her true kindness even when Michiru bullied her and using her powers to reform her, the old man giving her first chocolate, her mother being abusive, lying monster, Diablo giving her powers that turned her a demon, being founded and taken care by the Host Club like a true family, talking about how she loves singing and clockwerk, and each cure and Issei talked to her about their problems and advices.
As this happened, she held up the dull perfume bottle, gem, and the chocolate wrapper she kept, looking at them. She thinks about her wish, making a determined glare.
"I know what my wish is, Alistar." Michiru said.
"Oh?" Alistar asked.
Michiru breathes in and sings.
Michiru: Do you know, what wish is for you
I can’t remember, how long has it been
All I know is this feeling within my heart
Waiting to come true
“What are you doing?” Alistar asked confused.
The cures and the monster stopped to noticed. Incubo even stops laughing and turns confused. Edmond and the Host Club appeared by the hole in the wall.
Can’t you see, what it means to me
The wish is to be free and sing
All these feelings, I could never find the right words to explain
Like a clock, oh my friends
To go forward to no end
In time (in time)
It will continue, like a box of chocolates of life
My wish tonight, is to be free and sing my light
To go forward
To free of the past and the darkness
But I can’t turn back time
Now, ‘cause I want to reform
I only wish it would be true
I wish I could forget, wish that it would stop now
It’s like my heart, it’s an eternal wish
At that moment, the gem and perfume bottle began to glow getting color. The gem was a chocolate brown diamond color.
"I wish I could be free from the darkness!" Michiru exclaimed.
A golden/brown colored wish orb came out of her heart. It went into the perfume bottle activating the device. A white glow pushed Alistar and the monster back while the cures and Frosting shielded their eyes. She was in a brown to pink sparkling background.
“Chocolate!” Michiru called as she inserts the gem into the perfume bottle. “Pretty Cure Aroma Fragrance!”
Michiru sprayed the perfume, which were flames and they swirled and wrapped around her body became a sparkling pink top with a golden collar and V-shaped middle like Cure Bliss’s, pink to gold to white frilly skirt with chocolate rims and a flaming train. Second the fire wrap around her legs became socks and pink shoes with white flame-like frills, golden straps and soles. Thirdly the fire around her arms became chocolate glove/sleeves with golden frills and brown bands with pink bows. She sprays her hair making it glow and it turned into a golden color with brown ombre and ends of her hair. They were pulled up into separate but very curly pigtails like Cure Macherie. Lastly, she sprays flames and they formed into a pink crown with what appears to be splattered chocolate on top along with chocolate square earrings. She opens her eyes revealing to be caramel gold color. Her spray bottle turned into a rainbow orb and goes on her chest, making a chocolate brown bow. She does a pose.
“The love of clockwork and chocolate creates kindness… Cure Cocoa!” Michiru, or now Cure Cocoa called as we see a clock with flames bursting out besides her as she posed.
"Michiru..." Bliss said
“Is a cure!?” The girls exclaimed.
Incubo and Alistar's jaw drop in shock.
"I'm a... I'm a..." Cocoa startled.
"I told yah." Frosting said with a bit of boasting.
Cocoa's surprise fade to a smile. Then she glared at the Cake Monster. It strikes at her. She then yelled charging at it. She punches it hard before using her deadly martial arts skills to fight it off.
"Wow! Her cool karate mix with super strength and speed makes her a super cool karate superhero!" Sugar exclaimed doing the same moves.
"Let's help her." Puddin’ suggested,
"Hai!" They answered.
They leaped up and started to help her fight the monster.
"Get 'em! Get 'em! Go for the juggler!" Raito called.
The cures continued to fight.
"But... but why?!" Alistar asked. "Michiru, you are supposed to be a villain?!"
"No, I am not a villain! I'm my own person, a new person! All I ever been told was positive wish energy and Pretty Cure were evil when they are not! I am not going to be used or be evil ever again!"
Cocoa wished/concentrating as her attack came to her. She surrounded by fire as she waves her arms forming chocolate around them, harden.
"Pretty Cure!" She cried as she pulls her chocolate covered arms back. "Cocoa Inferno!"
She pushed her arms and punches the fire. It hits the cake Impossawish.
"Sparkling!" It faded and turns back into cake. The wish orb went into Cocoa's bow.
Alistar and Incubo were both shock but worried.
"You're going to be in trouble telling the boss." Alistar said disappearing.
"Me! It's your turn!" Incubo yelled disappearing after him.
All the damages were fixed as the boys back up. The girls return to normal as Michiru, holding the cake, taste the cake.
"Tiramisu. Mm!" Michiru smiled.
"YAH! Not only have you reformed but you became a Cure! Hooray! Hooray!" Dulcinea exclaimed, glomping Michiru.
Michiru was surprised but smiled. She finally accepted being a cure and reformed. But she still has a lot to work up for what she did. Edmond came up to his sister who noticed. She smiled sheepishly.
"You were a Pretty Cure?" Edmond asked.
"Y-Yeah." Pollyanna nodded.
"And you've been doing this a lot?"
"Y-Yes."
Edmond strictly snapped, "I am so mad at you for lying to me and doing this dangerous stunt!"
Pollyanna looks down sadly. "I'm sorry I wanted to tell you but..."
"But seeing the real deal with Michiru, understanding superheroes keep their identities, and the fact how you handle the bad guys with magic, I am glad you are safe and that I saw the truth." Edmond said. "So, in short I am not mad at you and I'll let it slide a bit."
Pollyanna smiled.
"However, that does not mean I'm not going to punish you for keeping a secret from me." Edmond scolded. "After your two weeks stay at a hotel and beach party you planned, you will be grounded for a month in July."
"A whole month?!" Pollyanna complained.
"At least he didn't ground you until you graduated high school." Haniko tried to point out the good part.
"Agree." Frosting spoke on Koji’s head.
Koji yelped but then smiled. He took the fox and twirls him around.
"Aren't you adorable?!" He exclaimed.
Frosting yelled as this happened.
Dulcinea then remembered every time someone knows ones identity, Amakusa will threaten them.
"Uh, boys, I need to warn you something." Dulcinea said. "Amakusa, our guidance counselor, he's actually an ally and a king from another dimension."
"And?" Burai asked.
"Whenever someone discovers our identities, you have to swear not to tell a soul unless he wants to erase all your memories." Rosaline finished.
"Don't worry, we will never tell a soul. We of the Host Club are very strict about keeping secrets from everyone and it's not our place to tell." Kanato assured.
The girls sighed in relief.
"And now Michiru is welcome to stay at the Host Club." Kanato explained.
Michiru smiled but stops, "Wait, how do I go to my school when summer's over?"
"Don't worry, we got plans!" Koji exclaimed as he drops a dizzy Frosting on a couch.
Michiru dread to say this part, "And does this mean I have to participate in your activities."
Edmond walked over and said feeling her pain, "Yes, if you are to live here or work with them, you have to. It's part of the rules."
Michiru frowned.
"Sorry but I don't make the rules, I just work here." Edmond shrugged apologetically.
"I guess I got no choice, but I can't stay in the clubroom since Alistar and Incubo saw me here. They'll come back." Michiru explained.
"Actually, Burai and I have enough room." Tsubasa offered.
“Where?” Michiru and the girls asked.
"Our apartment." Burai answered.
Michiru nodded. She shrugged thinking it was better than nothing. She then smiled as the scene froze and she was surrounded by stars and chocolate boarder.

Dulcinea: A hotel stay and a beach party!? Pinch me I’m dreaming!
