Tomorrow...)

Arigaoa: I want to remember since when I turned into a Pretty Cure.

Inuyama: Same, Inuyama already don't remember that...

Iken: Who knows that?

Shikuna: We all do.

Faith: Hmm... No, Shikuna.

Mine: *checks her phone*

Message from Konata:

Last sunday my step-sister was taken home for a broken arm.

She was immediately put under treatment.

Since she has been there, she was invited to join the Football School Club.

She will have to refuse because she isn't allowed to do physical exercises for a few months.

If she doesn't care, she will be brought back home again.

Mine: This isn't going well...

Me-chand: Urgh...

Arigaoa: Yes, Me-chand?

Me-chand: I'm scared.

Arigaoa: How come?

Me-chand: B-B-B-Bebes s-scare the heck out of me... And I want Christmas to come...

Arigaoa: Hold your breath, it's not good to stutter like that, you stutter more than Intel. Bebes aren't that scary.

Szoz: She's just always very sensitive, even if you improved her condition since long ago.

Zip: Stop your stupidities already. I need you to go to another world.

Me-chand: But, but...

Zip: You heard me, zippu.

Arigaoa: She has a point. We really need to visit another world.

Shikuna: Agreed. We have to go!

They ended in a world of music, Musically. The cityscape was filled with huge buildings and lights of all colors. Inuit statues were seen everywhere, depicting Musically's ruler, the king, as a musically gifted person. He's an old man with a golden denture and a small crown. As for the rest of the world, it looked like it came from a fantasy novel.)

Arigaoa: Okay, we're finally here! I need to hear your reactions about this world.

The city was filled with people, and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Music could be heard playing everywhere.)

Iken: This is actually a very intriguing place. I expected worse.

Inuyama: Cooler than I imagined, yay!

Shikuna was thinking.)

Shikuna: I wonder where is the king and if we are allowed to meet him.

Zameel: You can, but he's busy attending an opening ceremony right now.

Shikuna: What kind of opening ceremony?

Zameel: This is to commemorate his 60 years of reign. You see, he got very, very old, but he's still not retiring yet. So that's why that guy is very persistent. He's still in the palace, giving his speeches. And it's been so many years.

Shikuna: Hmm...

Iken: *pointing* There's a theatre building over here. It has all sorts of musicals. I heard it is only open for celebrities though.

Arigaoa: That sounds great, I kinda want to go there, even if I'm not actually famous.

Iken: I am not sure if you could get in, it is a very exclusive place, only the most well known celebrities can enter as I said.

Arigaoa: Well, what do I do...? Ahhh! I want to go anyway.

Everyone: Arigaoa!

Zip: Certainly not, you won't go, zippu! It's no, and that's all! You aren't famous!

Shikuna: Calm down Arigaoa, good puppy!

Faith: You called her good puppy, just saying...

Arigaoa sprinted towards the building, and everyone followed but unfortunately stopped because of her speed.)

Iken: Hey, aren't you too curious? I mean, you'll only be able to see the inside if you get in. Hmm... What a shame... She already went there...

Arigaoa entered, the security wasn't even looking and just realized later that they screwed up. The door was unlocked. They were in big trouble now.)

---

Arigaoa: This place is so good! I'll look around! Good, I'm in for a peek!

People noticed her and were looking at her weirdly... They were whispering among themselves, as if they knew her. Her curiosity was growing by the second.)

Arigaoa: I better must keep a low profile, just in case.

Arigaoa was about to sit on a seat but didn't see that it was taken, the person sitting growled at her and Arigaoa gasped.)

Arigaoa: Eeeeh! Is this your seat? I'm so sorry, I didn't know!

She then took another seat.)

Arigaoa: Phew... I think... This place is better than I thought it would be but everything is interesting, huh?

She started looking around, there were many interesting things to look at, and people were talking to each other in their own little groups, ignoring everyone else. The show wasn't starting for the moment, and it wouldn't start for another 15 minutes.)

Arigaoa: When is the opera going to start? What is it about too? Is it lame? I didn't pay for it, bummer...

She was getting more and more curious about everything.)

Arigaoa: I love the architecture, so clean. Everything is so polished!

A woman... screamed.)

Arigaoa: Heh?! A bebe attack?! Already?! Uh...

It turns out there was no bebe and the woman screamed because of a minor and insignificant reason, just a vocal test since this world is about music.)

Arigaoa: That scared me... Um... What's the musical... I mean, what's the musical opera show or whatever?

14 minutes later, a performer took the stage, as expected. There were many people giving an incredible round of applause so Arigaoa followed them. The show was about to start, and it would be in a language she doesn't understand. She was surprised, but she also wanted to see what the heck this was all about.)

Arigaoa: Woah, this is packed! That's... That's crazy!

She thought the place was full of famous people and saw two of them playing chess in the middle of the show starting, she expected it wasn't correct but it's allowed in this world.)

Celebrity (1): Checkmate, you lost. Understand that I am smarter than you. *he was clearly cheating* Amateur.

Celebrity (2): You didn't even exactly break through the whole thing, you and your talentless music wasn't the reason I properly went to stardom.

Arigaoa: Hey, you two, please stop fighting! It's hurting my feelings! Make peace and not assumptions, alright? Everyone should get along!

Celebrity (1): I knew I should have taken more time to practice, I mean, I'm a prodigy of chess... But screw it, I'm great.

Arigaoa: *sighs* (Think: I'm bad at helping others...)

Suddenly, the lights turned off to make luminous projections and the show started, a very strange one, Eter and the Elephant. There was no way she could understand a word of it, but she didn't need to, she knew the melody and the feeling it gave off. The manager of this place, Hiromichi, approached. He asked her to step aside so he could accompany her out.)

Arigaoa: Oh, hello! Wait, *sighs* I'm sorry, I know I'm not famous, but I've been to lots of shows before! Why don't you let me stay for awhile? I don't mind if they finish early!

Hiromichi looked at Arigaoa for a few seconds, understanding her.)

Hiromichi: It's alright, miss. We understand what you want. We won't be finishing early, so go ahead and enjoy the show.

Arigaoa: Thank you so much! I promise I'll be obedient! So smart! (Think: It's weird, he doesn't know that I'm a Pretty Cure...)

The show continued, and it was very entertaining, but also getting too long. Hiromichi wasn't kidding when he said they weren't going to finish early. It was about a little boy called Eter and his elephant who is secretly a clown, together they sing and dance to make people happy. While the show was being enjoyed, Arigaoa was thinking. She was thinking about everything. First, about the elephant. Did his voice sound like a woman's voice? It seemed like a woman was singing through it. Second, an elephant is an animal, and they are also a symbol for luck and prosperity. Did the elephant have it as a symbol, a way to make people lucky?)

Arigaoa: Huh, I can't believe they wrote an entire backstory for that elephant! Wait, it's not just an elephant, it's an elephant clown practicing for his circus!

Iken: *stealthily inspecting Arigaoa through the entrance door* She seems to be watching the show... The staff accepted her... I'm rather impressed.

Mine: Then there was no reason to worry about her problem.

Iken: That was my fault, I complained about it first...

Faith: We should leave now and discuss it more on the way.

Shikuna: Agreed.

The show carried on where Eter and his elephant left off, except now they had a new character in it, a little girl who is also part of the duo. Her name is Yupirisu and she speaks in a high pitched voice. She is very hyperactive.)

Arigaoa: I love Yupirisu's voice, it's so cute! I want to be like her!

Happening from the show- Yupirisu was in the circus ring, performing acrobatic tricks and singing a song, but she was also really worried for the elephant. Eter knew that she had a crush on him and that she wanted him to stay with her, in the same way the elephant wanted his human companion. They were fighting against an evil clown who wanted to destroy happiness.)

Arigaoa: The ending's coming up...

The ending was a cliffhanger. It showed Eter and his elephant dancing around, surrounded by balloons, with a big cake shaped like a clown. It also showed a happy Yupirisu watching on the side. But suddenly, an energy struck down on Eter as a thunder clap rolled through the sky, he turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.)

Arigaoa: Wow, what just happened? Is that really how the story ends? I didn't see that coming... It was probably an example of how the writers can surprise anyone. Well, I think it's time that-

There was no music anymore in this world. Arigaoa was cut off by the sudden sound of a huge, terrifying elephant BeKan breaking into the theater. Everyone around her screamed in fear and attempted to flee for their lives, causing themselves to get trampled over.)

Arigaoa: *getting out of her seat* No way!

Arigaoa tried to escape too but she was being pushed back by the chaotic stampede and trapped in the middle of it. The other girls joined Arigaoa, but there was no use, they couldn't do anything. They were at the mercy of this monster, which seemed to be very malicious. The Cures were in complete daze.)

Melns: *laughs wickedly* (Translation: You can't do anything anymore!! Enjoy getting crushed here and being driven in pain!! Hehehe!!)

Arigaoa: *furious* W-What... t-the heck is wrong with you people?! S-Stop that!!! I-It hurts!!! *coughs*

Kikzdkolds: (Translation: Enough of your babbling already!) *about to do something to her*

Arigaoa: Ugh!!! *tripping over*

After the stampede. Arigaoa slightly recovered.)

Iken: Are you alright, Arigaoa?

Arigaoa: Y-Yeah...

They nodded and transformed. Cure Smart made her first move by jumping at the monster and kicking it, but it didn't do much. It was still standing up straight and its skin was very hard. However, her kick was not weak and did a decent amount of damage. The BeKan was knocked back a few inches, but then immediately retaliated with an uppercut, hitting the Cures and sending them flying.)

All Cures: Aaaaaaah!!

Szoz: Girls! You haven't been thinking about how to fight this thing yet, pszoz.

Cure Smart: *growling* Don't remind me about that!

Cure Professional: Let's just punch it and hope it does something.

Cure Smart: I'm going to punch it so hard it'll pass out!

She did, and it was painful, the monster was not expecting a punch like that. Its eyes rolled backwards, and it was on the verge of collapse.)

Cure Smart: Everyone!

All Cures: Hm!

They performed their second group attack. They charged their energy together and fired a huge blast at the BeKan, obliterating it and freeing the dark energy inside.

The battle was over. They were able to win a little.)

Cure Professional: Well, that wasn't too hard.

Cure Bon: But we need to keep training if we don't want to get harmed, though.

Back on Earth, Rande saw Arigaoa again. She was looking down and feeling upset.)

Rande: Hey.

Arigaoa: What do you want?

Rande: I came to tell you that I feel alone, and you're the only person that I have.

Arigaoa: What is that supposed to mean?

Rande: We're the same, we're both lonely, and we can't escape this.

Arigaoa: I don't know...

Rande: It's true.

Arigaoa: I don't care about you.

Rande: I know. But, that's fine. We can be alone together.

Arigaoa: Alone? But you are rude to everyone.

Rande: You're just not used to being treated like that.

Arigaoa: How?

Rande: If you're alone, no one will judge you, and you can do anything.

Arigaoa: You don't get it.

Rande: I'm alone too.

She then left, not saying a word to her.)

Arigaoa: *whimpers*
