Work Text:
The sun was setting on the Magical World as the Magical Academy had a bustle of several students either running to their dorms to get changed for night out to the town or for a night of resting as the weekend was finally upon them. As these students rushed around a certain teacher walked with her usual grace to the main dorms for the teachers.
As she did, a familiar face appeared before she came out of her classroom. “Liz!” The woman says happily as the other woman smiles at her. Liz was dressed in her normal teaching outfit as weas the women speaking to her. The only difference was that while Liz had nice long purple hair, the women had bright pink hair of similar length. “Good Evening Solcière.” She says as the woman smiles at her. “How are you?” She questions as the two begin walking. “I am fine although today’s classes were a little more rowdy than usual.” Liz says as Sorciére nods.
“True it was the same for my class, especially Jun, although her friends seemed to calm her down whenever she was too rowdy.” Solcière says with a giggle as Liz nods. “That seems about right from what I remember teaching them. Kinda sorry they got stuck with your class this semester. I know they can be a little bit of a handful.” Liz says as Solcière smiles. “Not at all. I admit it’s still an odd experience to be teaching but I am happy doing so. Also the girls are no trouble at all. They add a bit of excitement to my job.” Solcière says. “Oh I see. Has your boyfriend not given that to you yet?” Liz questions jokingly as Solcière blushes. “Liz.” She says blushing as her friend giggles. “I am only kidding. To be honest I think I am just a little jealous of you too. I wish I could have someone love me like you do.” She says as Solcière gives her a smile.
“I think you’ll find love soon enough! After all your sister managed to, so why not yourself?” Solcière says as Liz nods but sighs. “Don’t remind me. It’s one of two big things that she lords over me.” Liz says as she and Solcière giggles a little. “So do you have any dating plans with Phantom San this weekend?” Liz questioned. “Well..actually I do tonight and I am a little nervous.” Solcière says as she blushes a little bit. “Why is that?” She questions.
“Well Phantom’s older sister Mirage San is coming back from a trip around Earth with her lover, Blue. And tonight he wanted me to meet her and so we can get her permission to date since she’s basically Phantom’s only family member.” Solcière says as Liz smiles. “Aw that should be nice. But why are you nervous?” She questions. “Well it’s just..I am worried she will think I am not good enough. The two of them have a very close bond, so I worry she will have high expectations for someone trying to date him.” Solcière says as Liz stops as they reach her dorm room as she puts a hand on Sorciére’s shoulder.
“Hey Solcière don’t be like that. You're an incredible person. You're a great teacher and magician and you’ve made great efforts to become a better person after being saved by Mirai and Riko. If she can’t accept you in spite of that then she’s the one with a problem not you.” Liz says as Solcière smiles at her friend. “Thank you Liz. Sorry to have overreacted. You’re right about me, I guess I just struggle with confidence at times.” She says. “Hey that’s what I am here for. Now go get ready for your date and tell me about it tomorrow.” Liz says as she gives a playful shove as Solcière smiles back to her friend as she enters her dorm.
As she walks through the city of Pikarigaoka, Solcière gathers courage by giving herself one last look. She had her long magenta hair go down her back as well as her two hearts floating above two ribbons giving her a great sense of symmetry. Benefit that she was wearing her favorite outfit that being a white dress with red and magenta accents along with magenta stockings and white heels. Feeling she looked good enough in the reflection she calms her nerves and moves toward a specific building.
It is a simple structure of white and blue that had a nice homey feel to it, very fitting for the main housing and group base for the Happiness Charge Pretty Cures. As she gets close she sees a man waiting outside. He looked a little nervous as well with short red hair wearing a white sleeved button up with black pants on. As he notices her he smiles as he walks to her. “Hello Solcière.” He says as she smiles and hugs him. “Hello Phantom!” She says affectionately as he smiles. “How are you today?” He questions as she smiles. “I am good. Although class today was a little rough with the kids. I think they were just excited for the weekend.” She says as he nods.
“Sorry to hear it was rough..I hope this isn’t gonna make it worse.” Phantom says as Solcière looks at her boyfriend and shakes her head. “No it should go well today..hopefully. Is Mirage San here yet?” She questions. “She is. Earlier we had a party with the girls and Seji but now it’s just her and Blue.” He says. “Oh okay..well then shall we go together?” She questions as he nods. “Of course.” He says as he opens the door as the two walk in and enter the main living room. And sitting in the living room on a small chair was a woman with short black hair wearing a red and white outfit and skirt drinking tea. As she puts it down she looks up and smiles at them. “Phantom your back and oh is she your friend you told me about?” Mirage questions as she stands and walks over. “Yes it’s nice to meet you Mirage San. My name is Sorcière Chantant.” She says.
“Nice to meet you, Solcière San. Would you like to sit down?” Mirage questions as she nods as she and Phantom sit down on the couch next to Mirage’s seat. “So then you’re also in the Redemptives with Phantom?” She questions as Solcière nods. “Oh yes I am.” She says as Mirage smiles. “That’s great. When I first came back before my trip and Phantom told me about the group I was very happy for him to have found a group like that. I know it has helped him a lot so I hope it’s helpful for you.” Mirage says as Solcière smiles. “It has been a great help especially to get over what I did in the past.” She says. “I can understand perfectly.” Mirage says as she gives her a smile.
“So what do you do now a days outside of the Redemptives?” She questions as Solcière smiles. “Well I actually work at my world's magical academy as a teacher.” She says. “Oh my so you can do magic?” Mirage questions as Solcière nods. “Of course. Normally we cast spells with our wands and chant like so. Cure Up RaPaPa, cup levitate.” Solcière chants as her wand and chants cause the tea cup Mirage had before to levitate into the air as Mirage looked on with a whimsical gaze. “That’s really amazing! And you teach others from your world to do spells like this?” She questions as Solcière nods. “Yes, although such a spell is rather basic in our world. I mostly teach magical applications in daily lives and also magical expansion, both classes being to teach how to properly use magic in their own life as well as ways to expand their control of magic and the possibilities they can achieve.” She finished with a smile at her very intellectually worded speech until she remembered who she was talking to and saw the confused look on her face.
“Oh my apologies, was that confusing?” She questioned as Mirage chuckled. “No dear, it's fine. It’s a lot of new information but everything you said sounds amazing.” Mirage said as Solcière smiled. “Although there's one thing I was curious about. Why did you not have all your friends come over to meet me Phantom? Why just Solcière San?” Mirage questioned innocently as the two lovers froze and looked at each other. Phantom nodded as well as Solcière as they faced Mirage. “Well, Mirage, the reason is that we wanted to confess something to you.” He says as Mirage looks at him confused as Solcière speaks up. “You see in our short time together the two of us have grown quite close and the truth is..we both love each other.” Solcière says as Phantom continues. “As such I would like to ask if I have your blessing to date Solcière.” Phantom said as Mirage looked at the two and chuckled a bit causing both to feel worried. Did she think they were not being truthful? As she finished she looked at both and smiled. “I see you remember our promise to each other Phan Phan.” Mirage says as Phantom blushes at the name as Mirage looks to Solcière.
“You see when I first confessed that myself and Blue were in a relationship aside from being happy with me, he also made me promise. That when he found a woman he wanted to date he’d ask me for my permission thinking I was asking him for his permission to date Blue.” She says as she giggles a little at the memory while Solcière giggles a little as well as Phantom blushes. “Don’t laugh, I just didn’t know what the protocol was..for relationships.” He says as he pushed his collar up to hide his blush as the two women stopped their laughing. “Sorry Phantom..that was rather rude of me.” Mirage says as Solcière looks at the woman again a new blush forming on her face. “So..Mirage San, may I date Phantom?” She questions as Mirage smiles. “Well it’s not up to me to decide that. You and him seem to be close and happy with one another. I’d say that’s all the permission you need to date one another.” She says as Phantom and Solcière look at each other and smile. “Oh thank you so much Mirage San!” Solcière says happily. “Your welcome, although Solcière I want you to promise me something.” Mirage says as Solcière looks at her.
“Phantom has been through a lot in his life..namely because of my mistakes as well as his own. As such I want you to be there for him when he needs you. To always make sure he’s happy and loved. Ever since I was purified by the others from Red’s control, Blue has done everything in his power to make me feel such a way. As such I want you to promise that you will be that type of lover to Phantom and give him that happiness he truly deserves.” Mirage finishes with a serious look as Solcière nods to Mirage with an equally serious look. “I promise I will be the best girlfriend for Phantom.” Solcière says as Phantom nods. “As will I with being the best boyfriend to Solcière.” Phantom says as Mirage smiles. “That’s amazing you too. I am happy for you and I hope all goes well in your future relationship. Now then tell me some more about yourself Solcière as I can share some of my past as well.” Mirage says as the witch nods as soon the three of them talked and talked for hours eventually even being joined by Blue who equally gave his wishes for the new found couple and then continued to talk with them late into the night. Eventually though it was time for Solcière to leave as Blue and Mirage wished her safe travels even giving her a crystal to teleport back home without having to bother Setsuna. As the newly confirmed couple walked to the door Phantom smiled at his girlfriend.
“I am happy everything worked out tonight, even though I could have avoided having to have my personal stories get told to you.” He says blushing as Solcière giggles. “It was quite a story..I guess you don’t get to learn about that from me though.” Solcière says as Phantom gives her a light hug. “Hey don’t get sad about what happened I am sure she’s looking down at you from beyond happy that you're happy.” He says as Solcière smiles and nods. “Your right Phantom..although.” She starts as the man looks at her. “Since you got to revisit a vowel you made with your caregiver..maybe I should too.” She says as he looks at her confused. “Oh okay sure thing but how do we do that?” He questions as she smiles holding up the crystal as suddenly both of them were teleported. As he opened his eyes from the bright flash he soon saw they were in a forest of some kind that looked very much like it was from the Magical World given the look of some creatures wandering around. “We are in the Magical World but why?” He questioned as he saw Solcière looking at the back of him as he turned around and saw his answer. In front of them was a grave looking rather normal with the name of Solcière’s teacher, and mother on the gravestone.
“Sorry..to teleport you here it’s just. I wanted to fulfill a promise I made to her. When I was younger and heard her tell me stories about romance, I promised her that when I found a boyfriend that I would introduce her to him.” She says blushing a little. “But I understand if it’s a childish idea.” She says as Phantom holds her hand. “No it’s not. I think it’s a nice idea. Let’s talk to her shall we?” He says as Solcière nods, smiling. As the two approached Solcière felt a little reserved walking to the grave but soon she gathered her courage and spoke to it. “Hello master.” She begins. “I know I haven’t visited you in awhile, not since coming to terms with what the others made me see about our relationship. But today I wanted to say that I came to let you meet someone.” She says as Phantom approaches. “Hello. I am Phantom but I also go by Phan Phan.” He says. “It’s nice to talk to you here today because I just did a similar thing with Solcière with my caregiver. So just like her I wish to confess that we are dating.” He says. “As such I wish to also make a promise to you. I will be the best lover for Solcière. I will protect her with my life and do my best to make sure she will always remain happy and full of life as she is now.” He says as Solcière nods.
“And I will do the same for Phantom. I will fight with him and make sure he always remains happy and hopeful.” She says as she smiles and looks at him as he nods as the two walk away from the grave. “Shall we go now?” He questions. “Of course I need to get back to tell Liz about tonight.” She says as Phantom pauses. “You won’t tell her about the stuff Mirage told you tonight right? About my past.” He states as Solcière giggles. “I mean it would be fun to see her reaction, especially to your old nickname for Mirage and Blue.” Solcière says playfully as Phantom sighs. “You are a real witch, you know that.” Phantom says. “Of course I do and I know you love me for it.” Solcière says as Phantom blushes but nods. “Yes I do, I will always love you.” Phantom says as Solcière faces him with a slight blush. “As will I.” She says as he bends down as the two kiss on the lips. The first kiss the two would share as a completely official couple and one of many more to come.
