Five days later.)

Arigaoa: It's time for me to go to school again, where is Zip?

Zip: I'm here, zippu! Don't you know, idiot?

Arigao: Sorry...

Yorini: What is that?

Arigaoa: Oh... You're here, hi again sis! Wait?! Eeeep! You noticed THAT THING again!

Yorini: Huh?

Arigaoa: Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Zip: !

Yorini burned her arm by accident because of her panic.)

Zip: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, ALL YOUR FAULT, ALL YOUR FAULT!

Arigaoa: YOU'RE MAKING ME LATE! *she gets dressed with her uniform and picks up her breakfast*

Yorini: WAIT! WE'RE NOT ALREADY LATE! IT'S STILL NOT TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL! AAAAAH! IT BURNS! WATEEEER!!!

Zip: *groans heavily*

Arigaoa: This is humiliating... Yorini!

Iken: It is time to prepare myself, hmm... all is done, I am, by this time, organized. Perhaps just a few touches... *she adjusted some things and took deep breaths of fresh air* Done for real now, nice.

Time passes and Iken goes to school.)

Iken: (Think: When most of my friends complain about one thing, they just complain about everything...)

She goes to her classroom after and sees that her teacher hasn't arrived, strange... But she arrives at school on time like usual. Of course with a lot of time before the second bell arrives. Iken then goes to the school yard to wait for her with permission, she finds a weird adult there, no one else.)

Weird adult: Welcome, innocent girl.

Iken: Um... hello.

Weird adult: I am the headmaster of this school of yours.

Iken: Oh, you are?

Weird adult: Well, I was lying...

Iken: Hmm?

Weird adult: *goes away*

Iken: What was that for...?

The real headmaster arrives. She then notices an Intelligent Particle and took it in secret.)

Iken: Great.

Headmaster: Gaikan Iken, why did you not come to the principal's office?

Iken: Uh... I wanted to know if I was in a mess or something.

Headmaster: Ah... I see. Very well, looks like you can go home early today.

Iken: Really?

Headmaster: Please stay after class.

Iken: I don't understand, I was... *cannot explain the situation*

---

Arigaoa: I'M AHEAD OF THE SCHOOL PROGRAM! MORE THAN IKEN! *but, not really* *has her hands excitedly into fists* *now not excited* Huh... We have five tests today...

---

Headmaster: Miss Arigaoa, we have an issue with you.

Arigaoa: W-With me? W-What is the issue?

Iken: Arigaoa, calm down please. You are talking to the headmaster...

Headmaster: You are achieving excellent grades in /Mostly/ everything, yet you do not show interest in anything. Do you have any talents?

Arigaoa: Yes.

Iken: My friend, Okiniri's good luck charm... *thinking* Though I don't know if she had it for a while.

Headmaster: No.

Iken: Yes, she told me so herself.

Headmaster: Well, maybe she has good luck, but that's not enough.

Arigaoa: What does the future hold for me?

Iken: We cannot answer that, sorry.

Arigaoa: Why do you care, you don't even have a talent?

Iken: I do, it's just that my talent is not known to most.

Arigaoa: Then why aren't you being scouted?

Iken: That's something we can't answer either.

Arigaoa: I get it. Then we should find Okiniri and ask her...

Iken: No, we will not do that, Arigaoa.

Headmaster: Miss Iken, please let Arigaoa speak. It seems like you're trying to shut her up.

Arigaoa: It's alright.

---

Later.)

Iken: Alright, we are leaving now.

Arigaoa: And said Okiniri's house is this way.

Iken: How do you know where she live?

Arigaoa: It's my senses! But... I forgot to say that she's not inside... I can't see her inside...

Iken: But she could pop up at any moment.

Arigaoa: *sighs* You're right. It doesn't make sense anyway, she's a fortune teller who is also a... what did you call it?

Iken: A special person.

Arigaoa: You know what would make more sense? If I had a bunch of magic powers and could travel through the "spirit realm" without having to stay in this school all the time.

Iken: Well, you have them when you're transformed, and what is the spirit realm?

Arigaoa: A magical realm that Zip told me about, it's in liaison with Yual World. Anyway, I'm tired...

Iken: From what?

Arigaoa: Searching everywhere...

Iken: Look!

Iken's friend (the eccentric gyaru) wasn't indeed home.)

Iken: Oh, you were right... She is not here, this is unfortunate... We should go back and I will call her.

Arigaoa: Yeah, just do it, or localize her.

Iken: How would I do that?

Arigaoa: Well, normally you would see a bright light or something, but since you're in a bad part of reality, out of the way beam will actually wherever the heck you wish to go.

Iken: I see, and where is it?

Arigaoa: Usually I would come here, but that's just one of many choices I can make with this ability.

Iken: It is still interesting.

---

Return to the hideout.)

Shikuna: Iken, Arigaoa.

Mine: We need to come with you all.

Inuyama: Pleawse!

Iken: We must decide how to find our friend and you all wanna come?

Zip: Not me.

An animaliouse was making noises, all of their heads turned to it.)

Iken: What is it?

An animaliouse was making noises, they listened.)

Shikuna: Did you all hear that?

Inuyama: Wut?

Me-chand (animaliouse): I'm useless... idiotic... Am I deceased...? *she looks complely sad but her eyes are widened*

Arigaoa: Who are you talking to...? Why are you underestimating yourself?

Iken: It's talking to the wind I think, but there is something strange about it. It sounds almost human... That reminds me of something... One day, a weird light was coming from the forest and...

Shikuna: And...

Mine: And?

Iken: And out came this... person.

A girl, she had brown hair and sad eyes. Her hair was draped over her right shoulder, she was similar to this creature.

Szoz: It's an animaliouse like us pszoz, a panda.

Arigaoa: So cool!

Zip: Really...

Arigaoa: Can you stop speaking about people you think that are similar to other ones because of things. By the way, so smart!

Iken: But this is important.

Arigaoa: No, it isn't...

Everyone: *sigh*

Shikuna: Alright enough... Who's this new animaliouse?

Me-chand: I'm... Me-chand?

Arigaoa: It's saying it like a question, with a monotonous voice too.

Iken: Yes, because it IS a question for some reason and that animaliouse seems and sounds female. Let's leave that matter now and focus on our tests.

Me-chand: But... I don't wanna be that anymore, I want to be a proper animaliouse being.

Iken: And you will, just trust us.

Arigaoa: I have a good personality! I can make it so your mind won't be corrupted and you will become a real animaliouse being!

Me-chand: Really?

Arigaoa: No! You will become something much better than that, so stop this useless babbling and let's get started.

Me-chand: Humph! *salute* Thank you... I'll stop this useless bab...

Arigaoa: Bab? Erm...

She left and they all stood looking at each other, shaking their heads.)

Me-chand: (Think: I feel very screwed...)

Inuyama: So... who wants to go first?

Everyone: *mumble* us.

Inuyama: Huh... Well, you should all wait your turn, everyone, that's how it works.

Everyone: Fine, okay. But we all want to go now.

Inuyama: Now? It's not like that. I need to find a proper place and I also need to do some preparations. Who will be the one to help?

Everyone: We will.

Inuyama: Okay, you all will then.

Inuyama: Ta li da~ ACK! *falls down*

Everyone: *fails to do the preparations*

Inuyama: Arigaoa! What the heck are you doing?! You big meanie! You're not helping, Me-chand needs it!

Arigaoa: I disagree.

Inuyama: Hey now! That's not how the rules work! Everyone is equal!

Arigaoa: Not here, they aren't. You see, I've already done so many work today. I can't force myself more.

Iken: Hmm...

Inuyama: But... But I'm a big person. Can't you make me a leader?

Arigaoa: No.

Inuyama: Why not?! I do good deeds!

Arigaoa: Yeah, doing good deeds to justify your own selfishness. Some of you are still little people at heart. You want to be a leader?

Inuyama: Listen, Inuyama has her flaws but she can still be a leader, right?

Arigaoa: I'm sorry... I still can't make you a leader...

---

Inuyama goes outside and notices a bebe. The bebe summoned an electric chair Akan and Inuyama received all the air of a crash.)

Inuyama: Aaaaah! What the heck?! Someone help! I'm being caught by a bebe!

Tûp: GAGA! (Translation: NO ONE WILL HELP YOU!)

Iken: Bebes are weak munchkins, just crush her with your mind.

Tûp: *has fury*

Inuyama: You think? I don't think so! I'll transform, alright?

Iken: Hm! Me too! *she transformed*

Tûp: (Translation: Shut up! Don't call me weak!)

Arigaoa: *transforms*

Mine, Shikuna, Inuyama: *transforms too*

Tûp: (Translation: Do you seriously all think that you can transfor-) *realizes*

Cure Bon: Actually, yes we can!

Tûp: (Translation: I see no point in answering back! A-Attack, Akan!)

Cure Intello: Hah! *about to kick the Akan*

Akan: AKAN!!!!! *makes Cure Bon sit on itself, then electrifies her*

Cure Intello: AAAAAH!!!

Akan: *final spark*

Cure Intello: ...

Too much trouble...)

Tûp: (Translation: You, Me-chand, you are right to think that you are useless because you really are! No one needs your dreaded answer! Akan! Make them all simple-minded!)

Cure Bon: She isn't useless! SHE'S USEFUL! This... is completely untrue! Even if we all knew Me-chand from the start... It's... It's still not true... Everyone... We had to work hard for her to become better... Deep down, Me-chand isn't depressed... She's just tired of what happened in Yual World... I'm sure she is more than THAT! *does the final blow*

Cure Intello: *gets out of the Akan* I know what Tûp meant... She won't get away with this!

Cure Smart: Let's do the group attack!

Everyone else: Got it!

They did.)

Tûp: (Translation: What?! How?! Curse you Pr*tty Cures!)

They detransformed.)

Arigaoa: Hmph.

---

Arigaoa: Inuyama, I apologize for earlier, I'm really, really sorry for what I said... I should have known that everyone is equal... And that's right... You can be a leader now, you can help Me-chand to become a big person that trusts herself completely, I mean it.

Inuyama: It's true Inuyama was acting stupid by letting everyone takes control of everything, but... Inuyama accepts your apology... Inuyama might have fallen into such a stupid state which is not good for us, but... Even if Inuyama falls she will never... I don't know... Lose a fight... Sorry, that's all Inuyama can tell, she tried.

Arigaoa: I get it, I get it, you don't have to say sorry again like you did when we first met... I'm all done, so I'll come in to check up on Me-chand, okay?

Inuyama: Of course.

Arigaoa: If you would go talk to her and get to know her more, then I'll see you later... unless you need help with anything else.

Inuyama: Um, sure, Inuyama can do that, thank you.

They ended their conversation, with Arigaoa leaving as Inuyama goes to see Me-chand.)

Inuyama: Oh well, I think Inuyama found her... Are you feeling good?

Me-chand: I'm fine... Atleast better than I was.

Inuyama: So Inuyama doesn't need to help you anymore...?

Me-chand: No, but I don't want you to force yourself.

Inuyama: Teehee... In that case, let's get to work and know each other!
