1 (536)- "Watashi ga Purinsesu!? Kyua Furōra Tanjō!" ("I'm a Princess!? Cure Flora is Born!")
(私がプリンセス!?キュアフローラ誕生!)

Airdate: February 1, 2015

The episode begins with a flashback of a young Haruno Haruka, who wants to be a princess, but a couple of boys taunt her, saying that dream will never come true. As she cries a young boy named Kanata tells her that she can become a princess if she keeps holding on to her dream. Encouraged, Haruka says she will do her best and he rewards her with a charm to help protect her dream. After sharing introductions Kanata takes off, and with that, young Haruka decides to continue to strive to become a princess.

In the present, Haruka's parents are taking her to Noble Academy, a boarding school that she wanted to attend. With growing excitement she marvels over the size of the school and quickly locates her dorm room. She practices her curtsy in the mirror when her roommate, Nanase Yui, arrives- embarrassing Haruka. They introduced themselves before taking a tour of the dorm, learning the lesson room, and the school's main greeting, "gokigenyou." Along the way, she sees student council president, Kaido Minami, passing through the hall. Minami also passes by another new student, Amanogawa Kirara, who is looking for her room.

Haruka and Yui then head outside and discuss the history of the school, with Yui admitting her dream to become a picture book author and asking Haruka what her dream is. She is about to announce her dream of becoming a princess when she once again becomes embarrassed and runs off after distracting Yui. Haruka runs into the forest and stops, taking out the charm she received from Kanata. As she puts forth doubt over her dream, a light pink dog pops out of the bushes and trips on one of her ears. Haruka is horrified when the dog begins to talk, then out of nowhere, a small purple bird carrying a chest swoops down from the sky and started to attack her. The agitated bird says that he and his sister are royal fairies from the Hope Kingdom.

In the distance, Close is seen on a rooftop and he overhears them.

As Haruka calms down, she fixes the puppy fairy's ears and the bird introduces them as Aroma and Pafu, and brings up the Hope Kingdom, their homeland, and how it is in danger. Just as Aroma is about to speak, the sky and forest darken and the flowers around them wither, and Close appears, not wanting them to revive the legendary Princess Pretty Cure, which intrigues Haruka.

It's then Yui manages to catch up to her and Close decides to target her dream. He uses his powers to lock Yui's dream of being a picture book author and creates a Picture Book Zetsuborg, ordering it to attack the group. The trio run away until Haruka realize that Yui is locked inside a cage as a result of her dream being taken, and in this distraction Aroma drops the chest he was carrying, revealing a Princess Perfume. Haruka eyes it curiously noticing a keyhole and she asks why Close did this to Yui. He comments on the worthlessness of dreams and Haruka, quickly taking offense in this and brings up her own dream of becoming a Princess. She reaches for the charm in her pocket and proudly states it before noticing the charm begin to glow and change into a key.

Noticing this Close demands she hands it over, but Haruka refuses and Aroma instructs her on how to use it. She is hesitant at first so the fairies attempt to hold Close away from her- with him easily pushing them aside. In this moment Haruka gains enough confidence to protect Yui's dream and goes to fight it. Using the Princess Perfume and Dress Up Key she transforms into Cure Flora, the princess of flowers. As she transformed, the flowers around them were restored and the sky became light again.

Surprised, Cure Flora takes a moment to observe herself as Aroma tells her she has to fight. She is shown not knowing much at first but is able to push the Zetsuborg back and overpower it before changing into her Mode Elegant and using Floral Tourbillon to purify it. Close then teleports away as she uses the Dress Up Key to unlock the cage Yui was restricted within, freeing her dreams. Aroma then continued to explain what they were doing, in that they have to locate the legendary Pretty Cure to help defend Hope Kingdom and were representatives of Prince Kanata.

Flora recognizes this name and is surprised to find out that this is the same boy who gave her the Dress Up Key years back as Aroma shows her a projection.

The episode continues from last time, where Cure Flora just found out that Kanata, the young boy she met a few years ago, is the the Prince of Hope Kingdom. She tells Aroma and Pafu that he gave her the Dress Up Key, which shocks them because they do not know of his current whereabouts because the kingdom has been invaded by Dys Dark. He had sent them a request to locate the three legendary Princess Pretty Cure. Pafu then tells Flora that she had merely inherited the power and it order to become a full-fledged princess, she needed to be strong, kind and beautiful. She then vows to help them defeat Dys Dark and save Hope Kingdom and Prince Kanata, but when they notice Yui beginning to wake up the Mascots quickly hide and Flora de-transforms to Haruka and goes to her side. She then tells her about her dream to become a princess.

The next morning, Minami is watching the ocean from the shore when she oversees Haruka running to increase her strength. She starts to run faster when Pafu follows her and trips over her ears again. While this is going on Minami discovers a blue Dress Up Key washed up on to the shore.

Later that morning, the entrance ceremony is held and Haruka shows up late. The headmistress scolds her and deems her an unfit student when Minami arrives and suggests that Haruka should decide her own punishment because the school wants their students to be independent. The headmistress agrees and Haruka decides on weeding the garden.

After the Ceremony Haruka gets to work as she and Yui overhear some students within the nearby building. Curiously they peek inside to find Minami in the middle of her ballet. They admire her grace and technique and Haruka believes Minami would be great help for learning more about the kindness and beauty aspect of a Princess.

Later that day she goes to ask her, handing over her apology work. Minami begins to walk away and in a fevered attempt to get her to stay Haruka blurts out her request to be taught ballet. Minami agrees, much to her delight.

Haruka begins her lesson, but she is subpar at first, with her being not as flexible as Minami is and her technique not so great. However, she keeps practicing and slowly gets better, even practicing the steps throughout the day. Even after all she went through, she is still determined.

By this point Haruka has found a new confidence and practices without Minami. But she thinks about an impressive step Minami can do and attempts to practice it; only to sprain her ankle in the process. Minami arrives and though she is upset at first, she bandages the ankle, with Haruka deciding to trust her and reveal her dream to become a Princess. However, Minami says she is far from perfect, but she is thankful Haruka asked her to teach her ballet, because nobody else has.

Outside, Close is hesitant to attack again because of Cure Flora when he spots a group of soccer players running to prepare for a regional tournament. He targets one of the players whose dream is to become the top scorer and locks it, creating a soccer trophy Zetsuborg that immediately starts attacking to draw the Pretty Cure out. Minami attempts to get everyone to evacuate calmly until she spots Haruka and suspiciously follows after her when she goes in the opposite direction. Haruka sneaks outside and transforms into Cure Flora, with Minami watching from behind. Surprised, she takes out the Dress Up Key from her pocket after noticing Haruka wielded one similar.

Flora started to fight the Zetsuborg and all seemed well until she kicked it, which caused her sprained ankle to hurt again. The Zetsuborg kicked a soccer ball her way when suddenly, Minami pushes her out of the way and called her by her civilian name, startling Flora. She demands Close to stop his attack, but when he doesn't Flora pushes Minami out of the way to avoid being hit. Minami then tells them it is her responsibility to protect the students and her Dress Up Key begins to react and opens, meaning she has been chosen to become a Pretty Cure.

Aroma gives her a Princess Perfume and Minami transforms into Cure Mermaid without second thought. She immediately starts squaring off against the Zetsuborg and the battle continues from underwater. As this is going on the last Princess Perfume falls out of the chest. Mermaid effortlessly counters the Zetsuborg before purifying it with Mermaid Ripple. An angered Close retreats as she unlocks the cage holding the soccer player.

De-transforming, Haruka expresses joy to have found another Pretty Cure as Aroma opens his chest to find that the third Princess Perfume has gone missing.

Airdate: February 15, 2015

An exhausted Haruka flops onto her bed, with Yui asking what she could have been doing to be so worn out. Haruka claims she was out searching for something- but couldn't find it. It's then an upperclassman announces its time for everyone to go to bed, and Yui brings up that the students are put in charge of announcing curfew. She reminds Haruka that they have morning duty the next day. After a moment of silence a small voice asks what morning duty is, and to Haruka's surprise she finds Pafu. She asks Pafu why she was there while attempting to keep Yui from noticing she can speak, then when Pafu answers that she was hoping to sleep with her she agrees to it and the girls go to bed.

The next morning, Haruka apologized to Minami, Aroma, and Pafu for not being able to help them search for the Princess Perfume because of morning duty. They understand though, since its not something a student can get out of, and she heads off to the meeting location, shouting "gokigenyou", only to be scolded by Reiko, the disciplinary committee leader, for being late. Haruka apologizes again as other students make remarks about how merciless Reiko is. Then the student council vice president and student council secretary, Seira and Ayaka, entered the room. The students admire them as the right and left hands of the school's princess.

Throughout the morning the group do various tasks, such as cleaning up the shower and switching the light bulbs when Minami arrives and comments on how hard Haruka has been working. She requests speaking to her for a moment and in the process, a few students notice how casual they are around each other. Once in private, Minami said that they haven't found the perfume and Haruka promises to keep her eye out.

After a little bit Haruka goes to take out the trash when Aroma comes by to announce that Pafu has gone missing. They quickly start to search around the dorm until hearing someone shout about "a dog". Rushing to the voice they find that Reiko has discovered Pafu and the other students begin to crowd, wondering whats going on and what to do. Just as the group decide handing her over to the police is a good idea, Haruka suggests they keep her- so they decide to hold a vote. One half of the dorm wants Pafu, while the other half opposes, including Reiko and Ayaka. To keep Pafu, everyone has to agreed to though, so on technicality, Haruka is allowed to try to get everyone to approve within a weeks span.

She starts to make plans on how to win the others over, such as showing how cute and smart Pafu is. She also shows them that she is helpful with chores, and that her ears can be played with.

After six days, the opposed side dwindled down to four. Most students, including Ayaka wanted to keep her after all, but Reiko has yet to reconsider. Haruka, not understanding attempts to get her to pet Pafu but Reiko makes a remark that she can't stand dogs. As Haruka tries to figure out what to do, Shut, a new figure arrives to take over a Karate Boy's dreams.

Seeing the Zetsuborg, Haruka and Minami transform in private while students run away in fright and things become a chaotic mess. As Reiko attempts to leave she falls and the Zetsuborg targets her. But before it can attack Cure Flora appears to kick it aside, standing with Cure Mermaid as they guide Reiko and Pafu to safety. With no choice she follows as the girls are formally introduced to Shut and he sends the Zetsuborg to finish them off.

As Reiko and Pafu find a large open path they notice Close standing with his own Zetsuborg before them and incidentally alerts their presence from their surprise. Close commands the Zetsuborg to defeat her; but to her surprise Pafu attempts to fight it off, despite being a million times smaller and unable to do any damage. The Zetsuborg kicks Pafu away and before it can smash her with its foot, Reiko quickly defends her in return, with Flora and Mermaid showing up to protect them.

Considering they both began to attack, Shut and Close bicker as the girls use this time to attack, changing into mode elegant to use Floral Tourbillion and Mermaid Ripple. With the Zetsuborg finished, Close and Shut take off and the Cures use their keys to unlock the door to dreams for the two victims. Reiko approaches to thank the duo and they take off as Pafu and Aroma remain with her.

Later, everyone stands to observe the chart to see that Reiko is the only one to have yet change sides. Everyone sadly watches as she approaches the front, only to reveal that she has reconsidered and will let Pafu stay. She gently pets her as thanks for trying to defend her and Minami informs everyone they will all have to take care of her. Relieved by this, Haruka collapses.

That evening everyone prepares for sleep but Haruka feels as though she forgot something.

Elsewhere, Kirara remarks that a passing shooting star is good luck, with the Princess Perfume resting on her desk.

Haruka, Minami, Pafu and Aroma are in the dorms talking about how they saw Amanogawa Kirara in the magazine picture with the missing Princess Perfume and think that she might be the third Pretty Cure. Minami says that Kirara just recently started going to school here and both of the girls set off to find her. Being the student council president, Minami knows exactly what class Kirara is in and when they get there, a very nervous Haruka stumbles in.

After things calm down, Haruka and Minami try to see if Kirara has a minute so they can ask her about the Perfume. However, she brushes them off and agrees to possibly be willing to speak to them after school.

Later Haruka and Minami try to track down Kirara but find that she ditched them again so they head to Yumegahama to find her since they know that she had to go there for some reason. The town is famous for having awesome doughnuts so Haruka buys some and shares them with Minami who says that they are delicious. As Haruka and Minami look for Kirara, they run into her while she's doing a photo shoot. They stay back to wait for a chance to speak to her, but they find themselves interrupted by Close who has a camera Zetsuborg.

Out of sight of Kirara, the girls transform into Cure Flora and Cure Mermaid and take care of it using teamwork. Still in their Cure forms, they talk to Kirara about the Princess Perfume who just gives it back to them and says that she thought a fan gave it to her since she found it in her dressing room.

Now back at school, Haruka and Minami are determined not to give up on Kirara and they find out that she is doing a fashion show later. They beg the teachers for permission to go and watch, convincing them how handy such an experience would be and they eventually agree.

Haruka is dazzled by the show and goes back stage to congratulate Kirara with doughnuts, which quickly cheer her up. While Kirara is getting ready for the next part of the show, she finds her Dress Up Key in the jewelry box, and thinking its cute, she attaches it to a string and wears it.

Meanwhile Close shows up, bent on revenge and creates another Zetsuborg from a fashion model waiting her turn. He uses this to trash the fashion show and causes chaos. Haruka and Minami transform and try to stop it but things do not go very well. Kirara is mad that Close trashed her show which unlocks her key and taking the perfume again she transforms in to Cure Twinkle and beats the Zetsuborg.

Afterwords Haruka and Minami detransform in front of her and she's surprised by the identity of the Cures but hands back the perfume saying that she only wants to be a star and doesn't have time for this Pretty Cure nonsense.

As Haruka and Minami practice their ballet, Aroma complains over Kirara rejecting her Pretty Cure destiny. Minami stops to remark that Kirara has a valid excuse, because managing work and school is difficult. In saying this, Haruka begins to think about how amazing Kirara was as Cure Twinkle and says that she was just like a real star princess. Aroma reluctantly agrees as Haruka continues talking about how Kirara has such an ambitious dream and that she wants her to fight alongside them as a Pretty Cure.

While Kirara was designing an outfit in her notebook, Haruka walks up to her and starts off with pronouncing "Gokigen'you" incorrectly, which Kirara pointed out, causing Haruka to repeat the phrase multiple times before remembering why she came to begin with. Kirara guesses what she wanted as Haruka suggests she works part-time as Cure Twinkle, and as such could only show up when they need help. Kirara refuses and says that she is putting 100% into her modelling career though, but offers to let Haruka join her so that she can see it for herself.

After school, Kirara and Haruka rush off to the bus stop. After being dropped off, Kirara shows Haruka her schedule for the day. First, Haruka watches as Kirara practices her runway walk, with the instructor allowing Haruka to have a go at it; only for Haruka to nervously strike a ballet pose. Next is Kirara's photo shoot in which Kirara points out afterwards that one of the photos was no good- although Haruka thought it was cute. Kirara explains the flaw in it, saying thatt the focus isn't about her looking good, but the magazine. Afterwards, Haruka notices she doesn't have time to hit the sports gym, so Kirara cancels this and rushes to her next stop and a lot of modeling activities until eventually a break is called for.

Haruka collapses on a chair surrounding a water fountain as Kirara walks over with some Marble Donuts. As the two eat, Kirara asks what Haruka's dream is and Haruka tells her honestly that she wants to be a princess. Kirara gets confused by this and points out she is a Princess Pretty Cure, but Haruka claims that a name alone isn't enough. She knows she has a long way to go. Kirara admits that she has yet to reach her goal as well, and Haruka follows her gaze to find an image of Amanogawa Stella, who Kirara reveals to be her mother, shocking Haruka. Stella is her shining idol; and she always dreamed of being a model after she first learned about it. When she was chosen to be in her mother's agency, Kirara decided to also attend Noble Academy since her mother went there as well. She is very excited to be in the fashion show she's been working hard for, since her mother was in a lot of Bauanne's fashion shows, and she is sure she will pass the audition. As Kirara walks off to attend it, Haruka quickly finishes her donut and catches up with her.

Later, Bauanne walks in carrying his cat while introducing himself. During the audition, Bauanne dislikes all of the girls- worrying Haruka until Kirara steps onto the stage. At first they are amazed by her, but he finds himself doubtful because she is missing something.

Frustrated, Kirara resides in the dressing room with Haruka claiming Kirara did a great job and was very cute. Kirara says her cuteness wasn't enough for Bauanne and wonders what she was missing, causing Haruka to think about her time as Cure Twinkle before she gets an idea. She tells Kirara she needs stars with her, then tries to find one- spotting it at the same time as Kirara. Trying again to "wow" Bauanne, Kirara successfully wins his approval and he deems her a "Star Princess".

On the way back to the Academy, Kirara thanks Haruka for helping her out, saying that it was her advice that saved her audition. Haruka is sure she would have passed anyway, but Kirara claims it isn't that easy to pass, even though she gave 100%. However, she thinks with Haruka's help she shot it up to 120%, then wishes to thank her for the help; without joining Pretty Cure. Haruka once again tries to reach out to her, saying this is something she really wants, but she now understands that Kirara must give her all to her true dream and apologizes for acting pushy before. She promises to work harder on her own dream to become a true princess, then wishes luck for Kirara as she remembers they have curfew.

Later that night, Kirara flips through her pages of notes. For a moment she wonders if her decision was for the best, but decides it was.

The next day, Haruka tells Kirara that she bought her magazine and compliments how cute everything was. Before Kirara can respond Minami tells Haruka that its time for her ballet lesson.

Later that night, Kirara has difficulties designing an outfit and the next day, she bumps into Minami. They end up chatting about Haruka, and before they separate, Kirara gives Minami the nickname "Minamin".

Close appears and mutters to himself about how if he goes back, he'll get in trouble by Dyspear and has to do something about Pretty Cure. He turns a boy's dream into a Zetsuborg and alerted by this, Haruka, Aroma, and Pafu find Minami to reveal the attack and rush to the scene to transform. In this instance, Close notices that there is only two of them.

Meanwhile, Kirara is surprised by Shirogane-san, who tells her that she has a phone call. The call turns out to be from Bauanne who says she has passed the audition. After hanging up, Kirara runs out of the academy in a rush.

Flora and Mermaid try to fight the Zetsuborg but struggle to get close enough to land a hit. They come up with a plan soon after, with Mermaid trying to distract it- only for it to notice Flora as she attacks him. She gets past its attack, allowing an open for Mermaid but when it catches her, she is thrown into Flora and they crash into the stairs nearby. Close thinks that he may just have defeated them and asks where the third Cure is, with Flora claiming she isn't coming because she must follow her dreams.

They continue to fight and to their surprise they find Kirara showing up to help them. Aroma asks why she came and she asks for the Perfume and Dress up Key. He stubbornly refuses though, since she wouldn't take them the last time. Kirara says how her dream hasn't changed but she has found something just as important and that she will become a full-time Pretty Cure. Aroma glances at Pafu and hands over the Dress Up Key and Princess Perfume, allowing her to transform into Cure Twinkle again.

Twinkle punches the Zetsuborg, making the numbers disappear and surprise Close. She momentarily gets distracted, asking Flora and Mermaid if "Cure Twinkle" works as her name and Close gets angry since Flora had said that Twinkle wasn't coming and he finds it deceptive.

Mermaid and Flora stand on either side of Twinkle as she says the elegant battle cry before running at the Zetsuborg to fight it. Twinkle punches the Zetsuborg towards Flora and Mermaid who punch it hard in the stomach sending it back towards Twinkle so she could finish off the Zetsuborg with Twinkle Humming. Close becomes angry and was about to attack the Cures again before Dyspear tells him to come back in. Annoyed he takes off as Twinkle opens the cage the boy was trapped in, allowing his dream to come back.

While walking back to the academy as the sun sets, Haruka asks why Kirara said she wouldn't be a Pretty Cure earlier, only to show up now. Kirara claims that she only came to tell them her audition and that she passed, asking Haruka if she was rooting for her. Haruka runs up to embrace Kirara while congratulating her and compliments her. Kirara says she can still be Pretty Cure, putting 200% in everything she does now that she knows she can get 120% with Haruka's help. With that she wishes them luck, shocking Haruka when she says "Minamin". Musing over this, Minami shakes hands with Kirara. Haruka requests calling Minami by name as well, and she accepts, as long as she can do the same for Haruka. Kirara tells them to call each other whatever they feel like since they're friends now, so Haruka and Minami have a go at calling each other by their first names and laugh before running after Kirara to hold her hand.

The episode ends with Aroma and Pafu saying that the Princess Pretty Cure finally have their third member and they fly off after them.

The episode starts with Kanata standing in the forest watching over the castle, remembering the beautiful Hope Kingdom when suddenly his staff shines. It shows the three Dress Up Keys, alerting him that the three Princess Pretty Cure have gathered.

Meanwhile, at Noble Academy, the girls are walking in the hallway. The other students show their admiration towards Minami and Kirara. As they see Haruka behind the two, they call her ‘a bud between two big flowers', leaving her confused.

Later, Minami shows Haruka, Kirara, Aroma and Pafu the second meeting room of the student council. Aroma announces that the girls must aim to become Grand Princesses, using the Princess Lesson Pad to call forth a fairy teacher named Miss Shamour. While Minami and Kirara show good promise in the tea party etiquette, Haruka struggles to live up to the princess she admires in her story books.

After the lesson, Haruka becomes upset because of her failure. Suddenly, Kanata appears as a hologram from the Pad, who explains how Dys Dark took over Hope Kingdom and trapped the dreams of all of its citizens. The girls ask him whether they can do anything for him. He asks them to look for the 12 Dress Up Keys, which are powerful treasures that the ancient Princess Pretty Cure used to fight the enemies.

Meanwhile, in Hope Kingdom, Dyspear is angry about Close's failures. As Close and Shut ask for another chance, she tells them that the final member of the Three Musketeers, Lock, has gone to the human world.

The Cures and Kanata's discussion is soon interrupted by the arrival of Lock, who brings out a Baseball Zetsuborg. He asks the girls to become Grand Princesses after collecting all of the Keys and encourages Haruka that she can become a Grand Princess. As Kanata leaves, the girls run out of the room and transform to fight the Zetsuborg.

Flora struggles during the fight. However, using the courage Kanata gave her, Haruka manages to prove her worth and defeats the Zetsuborg using Floral Tourbillon. Lock introduces himself and leaves, calling Flora the Princess of Buds.

As Haruka brushes Pafu's hair, she is told by Minami about the Noble Academy tradition which is known as the Ball Game Field Day. Pafu wonders what that day is about in which Haruka answers her, telling her that everyone plays ball-based sports. Pafu thinks this sounds fun and grabs Aroma, rolling him around on the floor like a ball. Haruka asks Minami what sports will be in this years field day, with Minami answering, soccer, basketball, and tennis. She also points out that it will be a combination of boys and girls, which Kirara finds unusual until Minami explains the importance of using this day to develop friendships since the two genders usually keep to themselves. Kirara asks Haruka what sport she wishes to partake in, with Haruka choosing tennis because it seems the most Princless-like to her. Aroma wishes her luck before they take off.

After everyone chooses their sport they pick straws to find out who else will be on their teams. Haruka and Yui get the sticks that says "winner" while the other three girls do not. Yui is paired up with Shiraishi while Haruka is paired up with Aihara Yuuki. Confused by his decision to play tennis, Yuuki is asked why he joined. He gives a small response before the duo wish each other good luck while the fans of Yuuki glare at Haruka with a jealous aura surrounding them.

As Haruka begins making her way back to her seat, Yuuki taps her on her shoulder. He asks if she is free after school so that they can practice. She agrees and shows up, confidentally attempting to show Yuuki her skills. At first Haruka does terrible, failing several times until Yuuki grows irritated by her. She admits she never played before, further causing him annoyance as she explains her desire to become more like a Princess.

In this instance the duo realize they met previously, back when they were little in kindergarten. Haruka goes off to the ballet studio and complains about Yuuki the entire time. She wishes to reveal her Princess Pretty Cure identity but Aroma points out she has to keep it a secret. Minami and Pafu comfort Haruka and they begin to ask about her past with him, so she explains that he always made fun of her dream to become a princess. She then starts wondering why he chose Tennis, pointing out how great he was at it and Minami suggests she uses this time to make ammends.

The next day when class ends, Haruka tells Yuuki she will practice more to improve. He tells her there isn't any need for it since she'll just stand aside while he does all the work- but he offers to let her practice her serves if she's up to it. An irrate Haruka refuses and goes out to the hill with Aroma and Puff to summon Miss Shamour so that she can be taught how to play tennis. Miss Shamour takes Haruka to a different world for this, and Haruka learns how to bounce the ball with the racket, how to hit the ball, and even practice her swings with Pafu and Aroma watching over her.

In the next couple of days, she runs along the beach dragging a tire behind her with Pafu and Aroma sitting on it. She also practices her serves with Kirara as her opponent while Minami gives her swinging criticism. She even reads a book about tennis and is able to improve a great deal.

During a break, Haruka finds out that Kirara entered to play basketball since it's the only indoors sport and she doesn't want a sun burn. While staring at a tennis ball, Haruka remembers something Yuuki had said in that classroom a few days back. She heads to her dorm when she hears a tennis ball being hit somewhere, wandering to the location to find that despite club hours having ended hours prior, he is still practicing. A fan passing by mentions that he was always like this though, and the fans outside start to worry when Yuuki suddenly falls to the ground after a mistake. His Instructor suggests he can still do more though.

It's finally the day of the middle school's Sports Field Day and during the opening ceremony, Shut appears on the roof top and says how its up to him to defeat Pretty Cure.

Kirara easily scores in basketball while Minami is able to get past the defenders and score a goal in soccer. Meanwhile, it's time for Haruka and Yuuki to get their tennis match underway. Yuuki tells Haruka to take it easy since he'll do everything but Haruka successfully performs her serve which shocks Yuuki. However, Shut interrupts the tennis match and due to how passionate Yuuki is to play the game without interruptions, he corrupts Yuuki's dream and transforms it into a tennis ball Zetsuborg.

Haruka transforms into Cure Flora and begins fighting against the Zetsuborg. As she fights it, Kirara attempts to get through the evacuating crowd until a teacher catches her. This also happens to Minami but by a fellow student. Flora continues to fight but she gets caught in its net. As she tries to free herself, she says to the unconscious Yuuki that she understands how it feels to have your dreams trampled and swears to protect him while freeing herself. Minami and Kirara arrive and transform into Cure Mermaid and Cure Twinkle as Flora grabs a tennis racket and begins using it to hit the balls back at the Zetsuborg. After Twinkle and Mermaid trip the Zetsuborg with its own net, Flora performs Floral Tourbillon to purify it.

Shut takes his leave and Flora frees Yuuki from the cage of despair. As Yuuki wakes up, he notices Cure Flora and slowly loses conciousness as she voices her hope that his dreams come true.

Back at the tennis courts, Haruka walks up to Yuuki and says it is almost time to go back to playing tennis. Yuuki mentions that he saw a flower princess, shocking Haruka as he goes on to admit that her dream to be a princess isn't a fantasy after all, he then compliments how great her serve was. Haruka asks if she'll be a splendid princess and Yuuki says she'll have to wait a few hundred years to find out, causing her to almost reveal her identity before being stopped by Aroma and Pafu.

Still angry over what Yuuki said, she accidentally serves the ball into Yuuki's back. Provoking him as Kirara and Minami comment on how they have a long way to getting on good terms with each other.

Haruka and a few other students look at a poster of Minami, who comes along and states that she is embarrassed of it. Haruka asks what the poster is for, and Kirara exxplains that its for the upcoming Noble Party. Minami explains to Haruka what the Noble Party is, and Haruka blooms with happiness.

Minami shows Haruka her dress and as Haruka goes to touch it, Kirara takes it and says it is made out of nice fabric, in which Minami says she wore it for last years party and even did the embroidery herself. Haruka decides to make her own dress with that in mind after she hears that some students do this, and the girls attempt to reason with her out of concern. But when Haruka won't change her mind, Aroma assures them not to worry and suggest they ask for some help. Haruka calls Miss Shamour, who happily helps Haruka with making a dress by bringing her to a room full of them. At first Haruka has trouble deciding what her dress should look like until Minami helps by bringing up what of Princesses was it that inspired her dream.

With an idea in mind Haruka successfully designs her dress and they head to another room, where she must pick fabric. Kirara and Pafu help Haruka decide which color the fabric should be while Minami measures her. Haruka then starts with the sewing proccess but struggles until Miss Shamour gives her some last-minute advice before leaving.

In her dorm, Haruka is still having trouble and Yui gives her some tea and they discuss dresses.

The next day, Haruka struggles to focus on her school work and forgets it. At one point during the day she also falls asleep, and plays her recorder horribly. Making her dress is affecting her grades and seeing this, Minami has no choice but to tell her to give up before something bad happens. These words depress Haruka and Kirara tries cheering her up by getting sweets- although they have no effect on Haruka, who is more dedicated to make not only her dress but improve with her studies.

The next few days, Haruka keeps up her studies as she makes her dress. One day, Kirara walks in with donuts to help the tired Haruka. This excites Pafu a lot and she fetches some tea, coming back with it, only to trip over herself and get tea on Haruka's almost finished dress. Kirara tries her best to get it off and Pafu apologizes profusely until Haruka assures them its fine. Kirara offers to help Haruka fix it but she refuses, since this will take her another step towards her dream.

Meanwhile, Lock finishes a game and wants to do something interesting. He smells something good coming from the kitchen and seeing this, he finds his next victim and turns her into a Zetsuborg.

Angrily Kirara vents to Minami about not getting to help Haruka. They discuss how hard she's working with the dress to reach her dream when Aroma comes in to warn them about the Zetsuborg. He offers to get Haruka but they tell him not to, so that she can keep working and they run to the location of the attack, transforming into Cure Mermaid and Cure Twinkle.

The two girls battle the Zetsuborg without Haruka, who shows up after a while and transforms into Cure Flora- surprising them since they thought she was working. Tiredly Cure Flora attempts to fight but when the Zetsuborg targets her, Twinkle quickly saves her. The Cures fight the Zetsuborg and while fighting, Flora expresses her feelings about their current situation, but this annoys Lock with how talkative they are. He makes the Zetsuborg blast hot air at Flora and surround Mermaid and Twinkle with silver barriers, but Twinkle changes into her Mode Elegant and performs Twinkle Humming to get out of them while Mermaid rescues Flora from the heat. Flora transforms into her Mode Elegant to perform Floral Tourbillon and purify the Zetsuborg.

After the battle, Flora frees the victim and later on, Haruka finally finishes her dress. The group are pleased with her efforts as they admire the dress.

(幕よあがれ！憧れのノーブルパーティ！)

Airdate: March 29, 2015

On the day of the party, Haruka and Yui finalize everything for the party. Yui warns Haruka that they have plenty of time to prepare, but Haruka is too excited to calm down.

Meanwhile, Minami is working hard to finish decoration and planning for the party. She directs where chairs and tables will go as two students approach and offer to take over for her so that she can go and get ready. She agrees- but is too distracted to leave.

Dyspear gives Shut a final chance to defeat Pretty Cure. He promises to defeat them and steal their Dress Up Keys.

Later the party begins and Haruka runs with Aroma and Pafu. She is stopped by the Disciplinary Leader, who tells her not to run in the halls and goes on to point out that normally pets aren't allowed- but seeing Pafu, she quickly changes her mind and allows it, just for today because they match.

Upon reaching the ball room Haruka quickly falls for its charms. Kirara tells her to calm down, asking what she thought of her gown and complimenting both Yui and Haruka's. Minami speaks from the upper floor of the room and greets everyone, explaining the importance of this ball and tells everyone to enjoy themselves and get along with each other. After everyone shares a toast the party officially begins.

As the trio are chatting they curiously observe someone nearby to find the dorm mother preparing drinks. Everyone is surprised but she invites them to try the drink she has made, then she invites them to try out the buffet. The girls observe the various items as the culinary students suggest they help themselves. Kirara shows Haruka how to properly get the food and they wonder if she can actually eat everything she grabbed. Suddenly Haruka runs into Yuuki, but as he attempts to tease Haruka his fangirls suddenly show up and lead him away.

After eating Haruka realizes Minami hasn't joined them yet. They speak with Azuma and Nishimine, who explain that Minami had some business to attend to. The student council handles the preparations, but the President must always work and oversee everything. Haruka happens to overhear the two boys with Minami earlier, and they introduce themselves as Shuu and Naoto, representative of the boys dorm and secretary, respectively. They explain that they had tried to lend Minami a hand but she forbade it. Haruka greets both males politely and they begin to chat about what they heard about Haruka from Minami. As she grows embarrassed for a moment, it is suddenly announced that the waltz will be starting.

Haruka claims she took lessons on the dance and prepares to show them, but ends up tripping over her own ankle. Minami catches her and sits her down to check on her to see if she's alright. Quickly Haruka apologizes for disrupting her time, but Minami doesn't mind- although Haruka still feels guilty she can't enjoy the party since she has to work. Once again Minami claims not to mind it much since its something she aspires for. She can't let trivial things get the best of her, so she holds her head high and continues to gracefully work. With that she brings up the waltz again.

Out of the hallway, a disgruntled film club member complains while he puts a video into his camera. He really could care less about having to do this work. Suddenly Shut suddenly appears and seals his dream to transform him into a Zetsuborg.

Its then the lights suddenly go off in building. Right away Yui worries but Minami tells them to remain calm and they rush the students to a corridor where light is visible. The guys have tried to turn on the back up lights and they suggest going to check the breakers within the storage room. As a few students start to gossip about it being one of the "seven school mysteries", Minami is visibly concerned, which doesn't go unnoticed. She claims to be fine though, and volunteers to head there herself after requesting that Shuu and Naoto join her.

The trio walk down the hallway and wonder if someone is playing a prank. Minami insists they stop talking, telling them that they need to remain on track but they find nothing wrong, approaching the breaker when Naoto notices it has been switched off. A ghost appears suddenly; with Shuu and Naoto attempting to catch it as Minami remains frozen in fear. As it turns out, it was the Zetsuborg trying to scare them, and to Shut's surprise it actually scared Minami.

As the girls stand in the hallway, Azuma worries that she should have went with Minami. She and Nishimine explain that since they were little girls Minami has always been frightened by ghosts, and she blames herself for it because she dressed up as one on a dare and reduced Minami to tears. She honestly hadn't mean to, but since then ghosts are the one thing to shake up the normally unflappable girl.

Minami forces herself to stand and change into Cure Mermaid, telling Shut off for his attempts to ruin the party. A fight breaks out, with Shut telling the Zetsuborg to attack. It sends the ghost out, and when Mermaid is distracted she is thrown back into a pile of objects. She attempts to avoid its attacks, barely managing to stay on her feet when it keeps surprising her with the ghost. She tries shielding herself from it and more ghosts begin to appear and form around her. As she suddenly screams the Zetsuborg prepares to finish her off; but suddenly Kirara and Haruka show up and transform into Cure Twinkle and Flora.

The Zetsuborg is quickly knocked off of its own feet, with Twinkle remarking that its kind of cute how Mermaid is frightened by the ghosts. She runs off to handle the Zetsuborg as Flora tries to help Mermaid feel better. Mermaid reveals that while she knows she has to fight for everyone, she can't help fearing ghosts. The ghosts reappear as Twinkle is caught within the microphone the Zetsuborg holds. Flora is able to convince Mermaid to rise past her fears and together they beat up the Zetsuborg until they free Twinkle. It continues to try to scare her but while holding hands with Flora they work together to ignore them and defeat it- smashing the large lens it used to make them. After landing Mermaid changes into Mode Elegant and uses Mermaid Ripple on it.

Angrily Shut starts to panic and makes a run for it. As Flora momentarily reflects on his words, Minami opens the film club members dream and they turn on the lights, changing back to normal before they return to the party.

With that the waltz officially begins. Everyone joins up and dances, and Shuu offers to dance with Minami. She kindly refuses, grabbing Haruka's hand and kindly asks that they dance together, with everyone watching them. Minami thanks Haruka for her help and compliments her dancing before saying that she may need to rely on her for help more often. This comment pleases Haruka and they continue to dance.

10 (545)- "Doko Doko? Aratana Doresu Appu Kī!" ("Where Is It? A New Dress Up Key!")
(どこどこ？新たなドレスアップキー！)

Airdate: April 5, 2015

Haruka struggles to do her homework one evening and she asks Yui to lend her a hand. Suddenly, she notices something glowing and tells Yui that she has reconsidered, running from the room to locate Minami and Kirara. Together the trio sit down and Kanata explains more key signals have been caught, due to them gaining more radiance as Princesses. They are surprised to see the next set of keys are within the school grounds, and Kanata tells them the dress-up keys often appear wherever a dream brims; advice that leaves them confused.

The following day Aroma and Pafu attempt to find the keys while the girls each ponder where they could be located. Haruka checks the tennis club, while Minami visits the theater club, and Kirara the music club. However, after spending the day checking their results have come up empty. While the logic made sense, nothing was there. Kirara suggests they ask someone who knows the school really well, but Shirogane interrupts them and tells them that because its getting late they should head to bed. She takes off afterwards and when the girls realize she may know a lot of the school, they get up to ask her something, only to find out she's already vanished. Surprised by this, Minami remarks that there are a lot of rumors about her floating around and how she may be from a legendary ninja family. Kirara has also learned the rumor that she can transport, or that she may actually be three people. This causes the girls to realize they actually don't know anything about Shirogane and retire for the night.

In bed Haruka speaks with Yui to try to see if she knows anything. The previous week she woke up early to see her heading somewhere. She noticed a key around her neck, but she lost sight of her quickly. Haruka is convinced this may be what she needed and Yui asks her if she would like to follow her the next time with her. At first Haruka accepts, until she realizes that as a Pretty Cure, she can't do that and let Yui find out anything. She quickly refuses, stating that she isn't a morning person and pretends to go to sleep. Yui is a little disappointed but says nothing of it.

The next morning Haruka leaves the room, but feels guilty for taking off so early and disappointing her friend. She gathers Minami and Kirara and they start to follow her, being lead around the land. They come through a forest and note that they've never been there before.

Meanwhile, an angry Close breaks apart a tree and recalls what Dyspear told him. He decides that he must hurry up and think of an idea on how to defeat Pretty Cure.

Suddenly, the girls come to a dead end- a large stone wall. As Haruka laments they have lost sight of Shirogane, she hits the wall and suddenly it opens, causing her to fall through it and down a row of stairs. Minami, Kirara, Pafu, and Aroma follow her to find they are now in a long tunnel under the ground. They ask Haruka if she is okay before they get up and resume their exploration. Unknown to them someone has followed behind them. After opening the door the girls find a large rose garden in a huge variety of colors. Nobody is surprised that Haruka knows so much about them and Minami spots a house in the distance. They head over but nobody is there. But after Pafu runs inside, the girls trail behind her to find a watermill inside. Pafu falls into the water and they comment on how well-kept it is. Haruka suddenly spots writing all over each brick and questions what they may be, with Kirara and Minami recognizing dreams written by her mother and older brother, respectively.

Its then Shirogane reveals herself and asks what the girls are doing there. She explains that this cottage is part of the graduation ceremony for students, and has been for many generations. They come here to write their dreams along with their friends and plant a rose. The girls apologize for intruding and Minami realizes that the roses surrounding the building relate to an old European saying, which means to keep a secret beneath a rose. Shirogane reveals the key she carries has been in her hands since she graduated, as the new owner of the garden. She was the very first one to write her wish onto one of the bricks. With that she opens a small door and several lights flood the building, causing the tiles to brilliantly sparkle in the light. Shirogane asks the girls to always support each other while in pursuit of their own dreams. While admiring the sight, three lights suddenly go off near them.

Outside, Yui approaches from a tree near the cottage. She wonders what Haruka is doing there and yells out to her after she spots Close. He transforms the cottage into a Zetsuborg, with Shirogane trapped inside of it. Haruka runs off to check on Yui to see if she is okay and the Zetsuborg approaches them. As Minami and Kirara approach Yui asks for an explanation, and Haruka apologizes for not telling her the truth. Together they transform into Cure Flora, Mermaid, and Twinkle. Yui is surprised by the display, and watches as a fight breaks out between the girls and the Zetsuborg. It protects itself with the large vines attached to it and nearly throws the girls off of the cliff surrounding them. In hopes of hurriedly finishing, Flora changes into Model Elegant and uses Floral Tourbillon; but to their shock it didn't work. Pafu questions why this is, with Aroma explaining that the dreams trapped within it make it extremely strong compared to the normal Zetsuborg.

It corners Pretty Cure and it grabs them with its vines to toss them backwards, pinning them down with several smaller vines. The trio refuse to stay down, and try to force themselves up with them refusing to surrender in order to protect those precious dreams. a New light goes off within the building and shoots out of the Zetsuborg, with the girls taking advantage to toss it onto the ground. As it lays, they change into Mode Elegant and attack it with Floral Tourbillon, Mermaid Ripple, and Twinkle Humming.

With the cottage returned to normal and Close gone, the girls check on Shirogane. They observe their new elegant dress-up keys, the Luna Key, Ice Key, and Rose Key. While doing this, Yui stares at them from a distance, still surprised by what she witnessed.

Dyspear has managed to locate Close and with a huge gust of water the girls run outside to see her appear within it. She chastises Close as he attempts to tell her that he can defeat them.

Elsewhere, Prince Kanata has managed to locate something. He transports to a shining area and observes three objects, deciding to give them to the Cures right away.

(大大大ピンチ！？プリキュアVSクローズ！)

Airdate: April 12, 2015

Everyone stands in shock while observing Dyspear. She stands before them as Twinkle asks if they just have to defeat her- but to her shock a simple Twinkle Humming does nothing, as she is but a mere illusion. She finishes off Close and he begs for a final chance. She agrees to it and uses her abilities to suck everyone into a portal.

Yui awakens to find herself in a barren land. She looks to see Pafu, Aroma, and a bag before her and runs up to check on them. To her alarm she hears them speaking, and upon waking up they continue to talk, but attempt to cover it. Just then a dark figure flies down into the ground, and they find a Zetsuborg before them. With no other choice they run away.

The Cures meanwhile, have all been separated, all attacked by Zetsuborgs. Mermaid finds herself in a light area full of water, while Twinkle runs around elsewhere full of large crystals and a twinkling night sky. Both girls put up a good fight but prove to be no match as Floral finds herself on a small floating landmass. Close suddenly appears to inform her they are all trapped within the Cage of Despair, in which the power of DysDark is much more powerful. With his new, strengthened form, Close grows in size and begins to attack the shocked Flora. She is barely able to defend herself as he attacks, and is thrown back, dropping her new elegant dress-up key.

In this time, each Cure remembers this key and prepares to use it. But to their surprise it won't respond to their Perfumes. As the girls wonder why they wont work, their enemies use this to their advantage to attack the girls and injure them.

As Yui hides from the Zetsuborg, Aroma and Pafu explain what they are. Aroma mentions that at one point her dreams were locked as well, and it was Haruka who saved them. Suddenly Yui hears a voice and takes out a device to see an image of Prince Kanada. He speaks to Aroma and Pafu, who explain the situation along with Yui, and he explains that the girls are in danger and they need their Crystal Princess Rods. When it comes together with the new Elegant Dress-Up keys a new power will awaken. He explains how the rods work, saying that if it can feel the powers of their dreams he is sure it will reach them. Yui rises and decides they must tell the girls, then introduces herself to Kanada as a friend of Haruka's. She promises that she can be trusted and despite Aroma's warning she attempts to find them.

Each Cure changes into her other Dress-Up Key to finish off the Zetsuborgs. But by now they are left wondering where the others are and attempt to locate them from where they stand.

Close angrily tells Flora off for transforming to begin with, saying that if she, Mermaid, and Twinkle weren't around they would have run already. He critisizes her dream, then asks if she's satisfied with being a Princess Pretty Cure, demanding that she stay down already. Before he can land a final hit, Twinkle and Mermaid arrive to defend her, but he claims even together they can't defeat him. Its then Yui finds the girls laying in a huge crater in the ground, along with Close on the other end. She is alarmed by the sight an watches as Flora rises, along with Mermaid and Twinkle. They tell him that he is unable to choose when their dreams end, because they are theirs to control and they won't give up.

Suddenly the elegant Dress-Up keys begin to react and Yui runs up to them. She tells them to send their dreams to Kanata to awaken their new powers and the girls take her advice. The keys glow as the Cure do as advised and as Close attempts to stop it by changing into an even larger monsters form, absorbing the power of despair surrounding them. The light disappears from the girls but they refuse to give up as Close blasts them with a large amount of power from the sky, sending them flying among the broken up rock and ground. Seeing Flora hopeless, Yui hands Pafu over and runs up to her to try to snap her out of it. She grabs Flora and pulls her aside to avoid Close's attack and she quickly chastises her for doing this. Yui claims to be fine however, and reminds Flora of her dream to become a picture book author. For her sake she will see to it that she accomplishes her dream, and she wonders if her dream could provide help to her as well. Flora claims its because of Yui that she has become less timid and able to embrace her dream, and together, with the others she stands.

The light reappears and grows even larger than the transformed Close, breaking the Cage of Despair and unleashing the Crystal Princess Rods for their use. Observing their new weapons, each Cure changes into her Mode Elegant Rose, Ice, and Luna forms. They then release Trinity Lumiere on Close to defeat him, once and for all.

It's then they realize they have been brought back to Noble Academy. Flora apologizes for this trouble, and Yui apologizes for not noticing anything to begin with, saying that as friends she should be there for her. The girls return back into their normal forms and together with Yui, Pafu, and Aroma they make their way back home.

Meanwhile, Dyspear observes a single black feather that has floated down to her. She angrily crushes it within her hand.

12 (547)- "Kirara to Aidoru! Atsu~i Dōnattsu Batoru!" ("Kirara and the Idol! The Ho~t Donut Battle!")
(きららとアイドル！あつ～いドーナッツバトル！)

Airdate: April 19, 2015

The girls officially decide to make Yui their partner. Even though she can't fight with them, they know she will be there to help and support them. Just then, someone comes into the room for Kirara with a work offer for her. She hands her the paper and Kirara refuses the job, working as a TV Reporter for a popular spot in town, claiming she has no time for it until the woman reveals it was for Marble Donuts. If she does this she will earn a chance to try all the new flavors- causing Kirara to quickly reconsider, much to everyone's surprise.

The sudden offer lifts Kirara's mood and she happily walks through the hallway as someone spies on her.

At Marble Donuts Kirara observes the remodeled store. Yui, Haruka, and Minami have shown up to observe the new shop and support Kirara. A director approaches to greet her when a cute looking girl shows up and attempts to drum up attention for herself. She is introduced as Ranko, the regular reporter who claims to have never heard of Kirara. She goes on to reveal her dreams and aspirations when Kirara simply greets her with little to no concern, which angers Ranko. She attempts to show how much of a threat she truly is but they are forced to get to work with their first take. Both girls introduce themselves with Ranko quickly trying to steal the attention from Kirara by showing off her cuteness as they head inside to converse with the staff. They ask questions like how many donut varieties they have, but for each question one girl asks the other one answers; as it turns out they're both fans of Marble Donuts.

Seeing their passion for the brand, the Director decides a battle will ensue. Whoever wins will get to try the new donuts. First they start with a mascot drawing contest, with the girls convinced Kirara will do fine since she likes designing clothing. Her manager isn't as sure and they watch as she reveals a cute and elegant Donut Princess, while Ranko has made a crude drawing of a donut with eyes, hands, and feet. In the end she wins by default because the donut was more prominent. Kirara is crushed by this, and when Ranko sees this she attempts to charmingly destroy Kirara's morale, causing a minor disagreement between them.

They move onto the second battle, where the girls must try the donuts and report them the most elaborate and special way they can. Both girls do extremely well, but Kirara wins in the end. Now both girls are angrier than before an with that they move onto their final battle: They must race in their Donut Costumes they designed. Kirara is surprised by this but wastes no time putting the outfit on after Ranko challenges her. Her manager informs her that she doesn't have to do this if she doesn't want to but Kirara refuses, saying that besides the TV fame and donuts she could try, she doesn't want to lose to someone like Ranko.

The girls run through town while inviting everyone to come to Marble Donuts. Ranko manages to get the lead after Kirara falls, but her heavy outfit just wears her out sooner. As Kirara remarks on this, Ranko reveals she isn't even at full capacity yet, speeding up to quickly overtake Kirara and run ahead of her.

Eventually the goal is in sight, when suddenly Ranko falls to the ground in a moment of weakness. Kirara continues to run for the goal and surpasses it. As everyone cheers, they watch to their surprise as Ranko gets up to run to the goal- despite losing already, and everyone is touched by her passion.

Shut appears and he seals Kirara's dream of becoming an adorable Idol, shocking everyone as they observe it for a moment. He summons a Zetsuborg from her dream and it begins to terrorize the area.

Yui instructs everyone to safety as Kirara tells Shut off for ruining Ranko's dream. Together the trio transform into Cures and they start fighting it. The Zetsuborg is able to roll around and attack the girls, but they find themselves having trouble landing a hit with it being able to spin and soften its body. The girls try to get it stick so that it is unable to move and when it works Flora uses Rose Tourbillon with her new wand, followed by Kirara trying to make it come her way to release Full Moon Humming on it. This sends the donut flying and Mermaid finishes by using Frozen Ripple.

With the Zetsuborg stuck on top of the large ice spike. The Zetsuborg heats itself in an attempt to melt the ice. Quickly they change into their new Elegant forms and attack it with Trinity Lumiere to rid of it and return Ranko's dream back to normal. With that Shut takes off.

The girls watch the event with both girls on the show. Kirara comments that Ranko is a handful, just as she shows up. Minami then goes on to reveal that Ranko is actually a third-year student, shocking the other two. Ranko then goes on to promise she won't lose next time and Kirara claims she doesn't want to be on tv anymore so she won't have to worry about it. Ranko doesn't listen though, and Haruka laments the fact that she, Yui, and Minami didn't even get to appear on television.

One day, Haruka comes across a girl in a mask playing the violin. Since then, she has become engrossed in the violin, so Minami introduces her to her acquaintance, Nishikido-san, who is a violin craftsman. When Haruka receives ones from him, she immediately starts her lesson.

Haruka does not quite work well in response to those lessons. At that time, she is reunited with the masked girl. She gives her advice on how to play and tells her to close her heart and eyes, and Haruka is now finally putting out a clean tone. However, Pafu appears to be afraid of the mysterious girl.

Nishikido-san says that he does not feel any emotion from Haruka when she plays for him. Just then, the masked girl appears along with Shut. That masked girl reveals herself as Twilight, the daughter of Dyspear. With the power of Twilight's black Dress Up Key, Shut creates a powered-up Violin Zetsuborg by trapping Nishikido-san in a cage of despair.

The Cures are in a big pinch with the much stronger enemy, but they manage to purify it and Nishikido-san is rescued safely. With a renewed mind, Haruka performs once again and Nishikido-san smiles. Meanwhile, Twilight returns to Dyspear's castle with the black Dress Up Key in her hand, loudly declaring that she will cover the world in darkness.

The students of Noble Academy are busy preparing for the next day, setting up tables and floral arrangements. As Pafu nearly knocks over Haruka they notice her bright mood and she stops to explain how excited she is at seeing her family tomorrow. It is Family Day at Noble Academy, where the freshmen students invite their families over to have fun. To the girls surprise they learn she has a little sister and Haruka shows them a picture, introducing her as Momoka.

The following day, Family Day officially begins. Haruka's mother and father and all excited to see her, but Momoka does not look too happy. She does not seem that interested in the school, even with Haruka being happy to be reunited with her family. Haruka s surprised by this behavior but doesn't linger on it long, bringing her family to the reception desk Minami is working at. Once more Momoka shows displeasure and walks off, causing the girls to wonder if something happened before they arrived. Her parents can't think of anything, mentioning how happy she was to see Haruka earlier and how much she bragged to her friends. This worries Haruka as Momoka shows disinterest in the flowers she tends to, even with Haruka doing something that always lifted her little sisters spirits.

The families head to the eating area they prepared the day prior and to Haruka's embarrassment- she finds her dad passing out dorayaki he made the night before. As everyone enjoys the snack and compliments them, Momoka finds herself feeling sad and continues to reject Haruka's attention. She refuses to eat the snacks she is offered and storms off, leaving Haruka sad as Kirara teases her. Realizing it really upset her though, she and Minami offer to lend her some support in hopes of figuring out what might be wrong with Momoka.

They find Momoka sadly observing something and approach her, with Momoka hiding the pouch as Kirara tries to get to know her. Her attempt at getting Momoka to feel better with flattery and offering a cute hair ribbon gets her no where though. With that in mind Minami offers her juice, but when Momoka rejects it she accidentally knocks it over when she pushes it back towards Minami. Haruka apologizes on behalf of her sister and while Minami tries to assure her its fine, Haruka angrily scolds Momoka for being mean to her friends. To her surprise Momoka begins to weep and before she can try to stop her, she runs off.

Haruka follows after Momoka until she notices she dropped something.

Elsewhere, Twilight plays the violin while Shut admires her grace and beauty of the music. He compliments her but she believes it was to be expected, and as such finds herself bored. She decides to find despair, with Shut offering to come with her.

Haruka and her friends reunite with her parents and they deduce Momoka couldn't have gone very far. The group decides to split up, with Haruka's parents apologizing for the trouble Momoka caused. Haruka, still heavy with remorse takes off with Minami through the nearby forest and struggles to concentrate. When Minami notices this she brings it up with Haruka, and after Haruka expresses her concern, she assures her that Momoka doesn't hate her. Seeing her confusion, Minami explains that she can understand Momoka's feelings because she had acted the same way back when her older brother enrolled in the Academy. She was very lonely but didn't know how to express her feelings, so she kept them to herself and felt mad for a while, but she didn't hate him.

Momoka sadly sits by herself near the beach when she realizes her bag has gone missing. Before she can cry, Pafu comes by and begins to comfort her. Kirara introduces her and suggests they head back because everyone is worried, but Momoka refuses as she recalls Haruka being mad at her. Fearful that she hates her now, she starts to cry again and Kirara brings up how little she gets to see her mother due to her career. She admits that she feels lonely because she couldn't come today, but her mom is working for her dream and she doesn't want to get in the way of that. Momoka is happy for Haruka and cheers her on as much as she can, but she admits that their family has been feeling lonely without her around and seeing how happy Haruka is makes her worry.

Unknown to Momoka, Haruka and Minami have arrived and she starts to weep again. As Kirara stops her tears she brings up that she is sure Haruka feels lonely sometimes, and she mentions how happy Haruka was to see her the day before. She suggests they go back again, but Momoka refuses because she lost the gift she made for Haruka. But to her surprise Haruka makes her presence known and reveals she found the missing object. Overwhelmed with joy, Momoka quickly runs up to embrace Haruka and apologizes for her behavior. Haruka apologizes for being unable to realize Momoka's feelings and just then, their parents find them. While everyone was worried, they decide not to be too hard on her as she appears to have reflected on what she's done. With that Momoka hands her older sister the present, mentioning that she made the items herself in order to help Haruka achieve her dream.

Before Haruka can open the present, Shut and Twilight appear. Momoka, along with Haruka's mother and father, are trapped in the cage of despair as their dreams of seeing Haruka become a Princess is revealed. From their shared dream, a Dorayaki Zetsuborg is created and the trio waste no time transforming into Cure Flora, Mermaid, and Twinkle.

The Cures are quickly attacked by the Zetsuborg, which throws red bean paste and beams at them. Cure Flora watches as the bag holding her sisters gift, a tiara, is destroyed in the process, pushing her past her limits. As she holds the item Momoka made, the Zetsuborg attempts to attack her and Flora responds with a kick sending it flying into the ocean nearby. She remarks that initially she thought to achieve her dream she had to work by herself- but with her family and friends she realizes she got as far as she has because of their support. Before she resumes fighting she hands the Tiara over to Aroma for safe keeping and uses Rose Tourbillon after Mermaid and Twinkle knock it down. The trio then change into Mode Elegant using their Rose, Ice, and Luna keys to use Pretty Cure Trinity Lumiere to defeat the Zetsuborg once and for all.

Annoyed, Shut attempts to keep going to try to defeat Pretty Cure but Twilight calls him off, insulting his unwilling attitude to admit he lost. She storms off, with him desperately trailing behind her. Watching this display, Cure Flora releases her parents from their imprisonment and happily embraces the unconscious Momoka.

Later, everyone watches in amazement as Haruka dances ballet on stage with other students. She is wearing Momoka's present, and when Momoka notices this she happily applauds and waves to her big sister once the dance ends. Haruka, forgetting she is on stage breaks out of her elegant nature to call out to Momoka- flustering herself after she realizes what she just did. After the performance, the Haruno family bond for a new family picture.

(絵本のヒミツ！プリンセスってなぁに？)

Airdate: May 31, 2015

One morning as Haruka works on Pafu's hair, Yui runs up to inform her of exciting news: Mochizuki Yume, a picture book author who published "The Flower Princess," will be having an autograph session. It was because of that book that Haruka dreamed of becoming a Flower Princess, and right away she is filled to the brim with excitement.

The following day the girls learn just how popular Yume is, finding a large crowd of people before them while they head inside. In doing so Yui recalls how much she used to read the story when she was little, and once inside they observe various drawings from the book and Haruka tells Pafu and Aroma the story of the Flower Princess.

The tale stars a beautiful young Princess who was as kind as she was pretty. Her smile was enough to make everyone feel better, and even flowers would bloom in her presence. But one day a a bird, envious of her popularity lied to lead her into a dark and terrifying forest by claiming the neighboring lands Prince has come to see her. However, she did not fear the witch or blame the bird for its behavior, and in this time the bird reflected on what it did and saved her. After they got to safety the bird apologized for what it did.

It's then Aroma interrupts, claiming the Princess cannot forgive the bird for what it did. But Haruka happily claims the Princess did, thanking him for saving her, and to their surprise, when the bird smiled along with her, the witches forest suddenly became a beautiful one. With that they continued on for home and the story came to its end. While Pafu and Aroma fall in love with it, Haruka points out something that bothered her before. The Princess never found her prince, so it lacked a clear ending and she is hoping to ask Yume about this. It's then Yui runs up to inform her they need to get into the autograph line after she sees it begin forming, and Haruka hands over Pafu before joining her.

As her turn arrives, Haruka finds herself growing further anxious and slowly steps into the room to find Yume opposite of her. They greet each other and Haruka asks for the signature before admitting how much she loves the story. She admits her desire to become a Princess as well and mentions wanting to know more about her, so she goes on to ask if the Princess ever met her Prince. To her surprise, Yume comments that she never intended to write an ending to this story and signs the book, handing it back to Haruka as her turn comes to an end.

After the session concludes, Haruka and Yui approach Yume once again as she leaves the building. She asks about the ending once more, and Yume confesses that originally when she wrote the story it was her desire to see her daughter grow up like a princess. She initially planned to conclude the story, but after getting feedback from children who read what she provided, she found herself unable to. Everyone envisioned how things ended for the Princess on their own, including what her daughter came up with. She loved them all, and because her story was born from imagination- allowing everyone to make their own endings saw to that.

These words touch Haruka, but just then, Twilight arrives as she believes it is her time to finally defeat the Pretty Cures. Haruka and the others transform into the Pretty Cure, but Twilight defeats the three of them easily. She calls them all foolish and says that they were just fake princesses. However, Cure Flora does not give up as she rescues her picture book from being destroyed by Twilight, saying that Yume taught her that everyone has their own princess inside of them. Flora vows to be her own princess, and her strong feelings awaken the Miracle Lily Dress Up Key, allowing her to use Lys Tourbillon.

The attack sends Twilight back, surprising Flora. She wastes no time and with Mermaid and Twinkle, they change into their new Mode Elegant and use their new attack, Trinity Explosion. Twilight is able to withstand the attack but feeling weakened she admits defeat- but not before telling off Flora as she retreats.

The scenery returns to normal and Flora brings Yume to a bench. She awaits for Yume to awaken and silently bows to her before taking off. The girls change back to normal and meet up with Yui, Aroma, and Pafu. Since they began the Cures feel that they have grown, and Haruka thinks about the qualities of a Princess, realizing that in a way, the Flower Princess and the Grand Princesses are one in the same because of the qualities they share. She realizes that becoming a Grand Princess will bring her closer to her dream.

The following day at Noble Academy, the Headmistress is approached by Shirogane, who aks why she decided to hold such an event now of all times. She admits that the 50th anniversary of the Academy was befitting for it, and remarks on the first year students, revealing that she is actually Yume Mochizuki.

As of late it appears to be raining and the girls are disappointed they can't go out to enjoy their day off. Haruka continues to practice her violin but finds herself having trouble. The others assure her she will be fine, with Miss Shamour offering some assistance but she finds herself distracted when Miss Sharmor recalls teaching Prince Kanata and his little sister to play it. Haruka thinks about it and recalls what she said to Twilight the previous day. Such words encourage her to continue to act like a Princess, but when Miss Shamour shows confusion, Kirara points out Haruka is already working herself very hard. Not only does she take several lessons to learn new things, but they already gathered nine keys. Haruka is unable to appreciate such a statement though, but gets distracted when someone knocks on the door.

Miss Shamour quickly changes to normal and hides as the two students step inside. Seira and Ayaka have come to announce that a scavenger hunt will be held to uplift everyone's spirits.

Elsewhere, Twilight reflects on her defeat while she plays her violin. She is beyond aggravated, and noticing this, Shut offers to defeat Pretty Cure. This angers her further and he attempts to justify what he meant but she takes off on a Zetsuborg horse rather than talk any further.

Ayaka and Seira explain the scavenger hunt to everyone and they split up into teams. Haruka is partnered with Reiko and another girl, one she recognizes as being very angry with her when Haruka got partnered with Yuki. But when she brings it up the girl, Kano, seems confused. Meanwhile, Kirara got partnered with two girls who are excited to do their first scavenger hunt but a bit anxious when they see how sure Kirara is, and Minami, who got partnered with Seira and Yui.

With that Shirogane hands out the clue pages, with everyone getting different clues. Kirara's team gets "what is the most active nut" and one of the girls reasons it might be a doughnut, because it sounds like "do-nut". Kirara is sure this is the answer and the girls are pleasantly surprised that this is correct when they run to the cafeteria and are rewarded with a box of them. The girls admit that because of how antisocial Kirara was they didn't realize she was actually so friendly. She is surprised by this and offers to let the girls call her by her first name.

Meanwhile, Minami's clue is "What snickers by the entrance" and the girls try to determine what the entrance itself is. Minami thinks it over before she suddenly gets an idea and brings them to the shoe lockers, reasoning that they "sneaker" by. Yui and Seira are surprised when Shirogane appears behind them to reveal they are also correct. Seira remarks that lately Minami also seems different, recalling how strict she used to be in the past.

Haruka and her team continue to look but she finds herself growing frustrated. She calms herself down as Pafu joins them and Reiko sits down to pet her. She is very flustered when she shows her affectionate side around Pafu, but knowing that Pafu likes her calms her down and she thanks Haruka, recalling back when she had wanted to ban Pafu. The other girl remembers how well Haruka did to keep up with Yuki doing Field Day as well, but Haruka claims its nothing. She stops to look outside and recalls their own clue, "Something that's outside, yet still at home" and stares in amazement at the large amount of flowers. She suddenly gets an idea and brings them outside.

As this is going on, Kanata continues to fight the Zetsuborg. As he gets onto his horse his staff begins to glow, signaling that the girls located another key. He rides away from the location, dedicated to continue doing his best until he can fix everything.

Meanwhile, Twilight is also riding a Zetsuborg horse and she starts to question what she is doing. Suddenly she sees something familiar up ahead.

Haruka brings Reiko and the other girl outside to recently bloomed hydrangea. She admires their beauty as the girls join her, surprised she was the one tending to them all. The girls suddenly realize what the answer was when they spot a snail and Shirogane joins them to assure they got it right. With that she happily thanks Haruka for all of her efforts tending to the garden. She then gives them the next challenge, "What appears different to all who gaze at it while changing day by day?".

On the roof Shut stands, angry and ready to brighten Twilight's mood. He locks the dreams of the Cafeteria worker and throws her into the cage of despair as a rice cooker Zetsuborg forms.

Inside, Haruka and her team continue to search. She gets an idea after staring at the mirror and once again Shirogane assures her she is right. By now all the teams have shown up, and she explains that they have found the true treasure: Themselves and their personal growth. Looking in the mirror the girls happily take note of this but suddenly the ground begins to shake. Minami tells everyone to remain calm and the trio run outside, not surprised to find a Zetsuborg waiting for them. They change into Cure Flora, Cure Mermaid, and Cure Twinkle and the fight begins.

Right away the girls find themselves down, kneeling in the mud as thick gusts of air is thrown in their direction. Quickly they attack the Zetsuborg before it can destroy the dorm but they find it too strong and get thrown back. They rise, battered but not out, telling them how dear Noble Academy is to them. Flora uses her Lily key to use Lys Tourbillon, then, with the Zetsuborg faltering they change into Mode Elegant and use Trinity Explosion on it. They release the Cafeteria worker and thank her for her efforts as Shut takes off and they take her somewhere safe.

The rain has come to an end and Haruka plays her violin for Minami, Kirara, Yui, Pafu, and Aroma. They admire her beautiful playing, along with an approving Miss Shamor. Haruka is happy to know her efforts have been worth it and continues to play.

Kanata also plays his violin, recalling the past when he would play for his little sister. He comes to a halt, wondering if she is alright.

Curious, Twilight walks into the building. She finds nobody there, but sees the Pretty Cure Perfume awaiting. Seeing it as a sign she can surpass Pretty Cure with it, she takes the object and is granted her first key.

Twilight reveals the Princess Perfume to Dyspear that she managed to locate earlier on. Dyspear observes it and asks where it was found, then with her abilities she presents a third Dress Up Key to Twilight. She is sure it will be enough to defeat Pretty Cure and Twilight uses it with the Perfume, releasing a blast of dark power. As pain begins to overtake her, Lock and Shut express concern for her but Dyspear appears sure of herself.

The girls admire the beauty of the Dress Up Keys when suddenly the notice one shining. They vanish in a bright light, leading Yui alone in the room. When Haruka sees she is in a brand new area, she recognizes a gate high in the air and realizes they must be within the Hope Kingdom. Meanwhile, Minami finds herself with Pafu, and Kirara is with Aroma.

Haruka attempts to search for them when she drops one of her keys. She tries figuring out what happened when a bright light erupts from it and points in a direction. She continues forward but runs into two, rabbit-like Zetsuborg. She wastes no time transforming into Cure Flora, but just as she finishes someone defends her from their attack. She changes into Mode Elegant to defeat the Zetsuborg, quickly finding herself shocked when she realizes she ha reunited with Prince Kanata. They politely greet each other and he compliments Haruka's progress as the light reappears from her key. Together they follow it when Kanata mentions it might be important.

Minami and Kirara also find themselves guided by the light of their dress up keys. They all continue on, with Haruka returning to normal as Minami finds herself outside of a building. Kirara finds herself outside of another building, as does Haruka and Kanata. They each notice the strange crest adorning the nearby structures and how they match up with their Pretty Cure self.

Haruka steps inside to see a podium with a keyhole on it and runs up to find the light pointing in it. When Kanata assures her its fine she sticks the key inside, causing the several stained glass windows to start lighting up. Suddenly, they find themselves speaking to the Pretty Cure Princess of Flowers before Haruka and she recalls what happened in the past. They were able to seal the darkness together but they knew it would be released, stronger than ever at some point. To ensure everyone's safety they had left behind a fourth Perfume, surprising Haruka to learn this. However, the darkness has been searching for it, so the girls must hurry and find it before they do.

Kirara and Minami are told the same story in their respective Cure buildings, with Pafu beginning to grow worried and Kirara left puzzled. They all agree to do what they can to find it though, with the light returning to lead them elsewhere.

Transformed, Cure Mermaid continues on when Shut stops her and attacks. The same happens to Cure Twinkle when Lock confronts her.

Haruka rides on Wish with Kanata and she talks about what she has been up to as of late. She mentions playing the violin now with Miss Shamour teaching her, but this only causes Kanata sadness when Haruka brings up his little sister. He mentions her name, Towa, and brings up how she went missing years ago. Together they played the violin, but she was always too hard on herself because she dreamed of becoming a true Princess more than anything. She wanted to become a Princess Pretty Cure in order to someday be a Grand Princess. Seeing her dedication makes Kanata very happy as she mentions knowing its a hard goal, but she promises to become a Grand Princess one day.

But one day she wasn't to be found. No matter how hard they tried they were unable to find her, and seeing as she was a beacon of hope to them- everyone became overwhelmed with despair. Losing her caused everything to go wrong and they lost sight of their dreams. That was when Dyspear appeared, and with such weaknesses they were unable to save themselves from her attack.

Hearing this sad tale Haruka apologizes for her words, thinking she might have been insensitive. Kanata assures her that she actually helped him. Seeing her that day in the past restored his hope as she sadly reflected on her dreams to become a Princess, because it reminded him of Towa. He assured her she could become a princess some day and gave her the key when he saw how dedicated Haruka was. Because of her he was able to stand against Dyspear and fight, and its been what kept him from succumbing to the darkness. Haruka claims she is happy to have met him as well- because meeting him kept her fighting for her dream. With that Kanata confesses his own dream, that he hopes that his violin playing will reach her.

Mermaid and Twinkle continue to fight against Shut and Lock, with Mermaid using Bubble Ripple against Shut. She uses it as a distraction and attempts to take off, causing him annoyance when he realizes she's gone. Twinkle also uses her own Meteor Humming to run from Lock.

At the Castle, Haruka and Kanata see the Key has led them there. They realize Dyspear is probably inside, along with the Princess Perfume and head inside, with the others finding them. Pafu and Aroma happily cling to Kanata, who expresses joy in seeing them. He goes on to thank Mermaid and Twinkle, but they cut the meeting short, bringing up that they were attacked.

Suddenly, Twilight makes herself known to everyone. Kanata stands in shock and as she appears, he realizes she is actually his sister. Everyone is shocked by this and Kanata is happy to see her, but she attacks him when he attempts to speak to her. She seems not to be aware of who he is and claims not to have a brother, only her mother, Dyspear. She goes on to reveal the now dark Princess Perfume and they worriedly watch as she changes forms with a key.

The past is revealed, with Towa sadly forcing herself to continue playing her violin. More than anything she wanted to become a wonderful Princess, and to her surprise a dark figure appeared, offering her services. At first, Towa believes the woman but refuses after being startled. Seeing this opening, Dyspear takes advantage of it by claiming if she was to refuse, her brother would be disappointed in her, and this seems to work, causing Towa to falter and think about it. She hurriedly reconsiders and boldly tells her that she will see her dream come true. Accepting the darkness surrounding her, she walks into the path opened to her.

As everyone stares in horror, Twilight introduces herself as the Black Princess. Haruka quickly changes into Cure Flora when she begins to attack, defending the shocked Kanata from her. Seeing as their words aren't reaching her, they attempt to fight her off but they do little to no damage, with Dark Princess shrugging it off. They watch as she uses another key in her Dark Princess Perfume and changes into Mode Elegant. The group barely blocks her attack, with Kanata trying to reach through to her.

Having been aware of this Dyspear uses her abilities to appear within the room and tells them how futile their efforts are. Towa had a precious dream and worked herself too hard to achieve it, until one day despair began to get the better of her. She goes on to mention that Towa made this choice by herself, and because she is the key to the Hope Kingdom, it made her the perfect target. Her power grew with the Kingdoms despair, and while she realized she could have left her alone, she decided to erase everything to raise her as a Princess of despair. But in the end, she was a failure. With that, she will use what is left of her by putting her life on the line to defeat the Princess Pretty Cure.

Black Princess releases a large blast of darkness, overcoming Kanata's power and sending everyone to the destroyed ground they once stood on. As the smoke clears she approaches Kanata to finish him off, but to everyone's surprise, Cure Flora begins to speak and slowly rises behind her. With a smile she assures hope and dreams will always remain.

As this is going on, Shut fawns over Twilight's brand new form. He and Lock appear noticing the damage that has been done, but she pays them no mind, moving after they become aware of Dyspear.

Confused, Dyspear asks Flora why she is able to remain hopeful after this, and she simply states that hope still exists. She recalls when she first laid eyes on Twilight and is sure that deep down the hope has never left her. Black Princess and Flora appear evenly matched, and she continues on to mention how deeply touched she was as she listened to Twilight play. It moved her so much that her desire to play the violin began to overwhelm her as well. This beautiful melody could not come from someone heartless as Dyspear claims, she knows that deep down Towa's dreams and feelings remain, they are simply locked up.

When Shut and Lock attempt to attack Flora, Mermaid and Twinkle quickly use their own abilities to get them away. With an opening the Princess Pretty Cure change into their new Mode Elegant forms and use Trinity Explosion on Dark Princess. Their attacks seem evenly matched, but with their hope and dreams they continue to push, watching as her powers slowly begin to weaken. Dyspear attempts to convince them that it is hopeless, but they continue on, assuring that its not only them fighting. During this, Kanata resumes playing his violin, with a familiar tune he always played for Towa when they were little. He always played it for her sake, so that he could see her smile, and whenever he saw her practice he was very happy. His dream is that one day they can play together again.

As Black Princess is envoloped in the Cures attacks she sheds a tear, allowing them to purify her as the image of Dyspear vanishes and the Dark Keys and Dark Perfume vanish. With her purified and returned to normal, the attack stops and Kanata holds his unconcious sister. The Cures approach, changing back to normal as Pafu and Aroma join them again.

As this is going on, Lock and Shut take off after they remark on the situation. Shut is very disappointed that Towa is no longer the beautiful Twilight anymore and Lock convinces him to go as they begin to feel the tremors of the building from Dyspear's anger. As darkness begins to release from her, several dark vines begin to spread through the building and everyone takes off running. Kanata reasons that after that last fight they aren't in the shape to continue fighting and he realizes they are out of options. They reach the main hall of the building and stops as the girls make their way for the exit. After handing over Towa he tells them to hurry back to their world, using the last of his magic to protect them. Towa awakens just in time to see Kanata, surprising them as he assures her everything will be okay. He tells them to go on, offering to stay behind to make sure they stay safe by destroying the door when they escape. If he doesn't Dyspear will follow them, so he must do this. Haruka tries to reason with him but he simply thanks her for allowing him to see Towa again. His hope has been restored, and he knows they will see each other again. Using his magic, he sends Haruka out and in a big blast of light, Haruka returns to her world while calling out to him.

Unconcious, everyone lays on the beach as the sun sets. Towa awakens for a moment once more and calls out to Kanata.

Yui excitedly sees the girls approach her, but to her surprise she notices a strange girl unconsciously being held by Haruka. She asks who it is, expressing shock after they reveal her as Twilight- but too exhausted from their efforts, they offer to tell her everything later and head inside to rest.

That evening, Haruka sadly stares at her violin. She prays for Kanata's safety.

As this is going on, Towa dreams of the past once more. She messed up once again, but Kanata assures her its okay because to become a good Princess, one should remember to take their time and be patient. She keeps this in mind, but wanting to play with him more than anything she asks that they try again. He agrees, but when she goes to play she suddenly sees herself as Twilight again.

Towa awakens as she recalls what happened. She notices it is day now and looks to find the changed Keys and Perfume next to her. With them she heads outside and walks through the forest, thinking about Kanata. It's then she hears someone playing the violin and spots Haruka near several flowers. She asks how she knows this song, and Haruka explains that Miss Shamour taught her, but Towa finds herself feeling sad as she thinks about her brother again.

Haruka then recalls she has Kanata's violin. He left it to them before what happened, and she asks Towa if she would like to play with her. She assures Haruka that she doesn't, with them unaware of Dyspear's presence until the land begins to darken around them. She speaks to Towa, telling her it isn't that easy for her to run away and demands that she returns to her. Towa refuses, but she attempts to weaken her resolve by reminding her of what she wears still, and that she did what she did, so now she must live with it. Towa finds herself growing further worried when Dyspear brings up Kanata and how she has found them with ease. She tries to convince her that its too late to change what she did, but Towa tries to fight her off. She continues to reject her and tries to run, but Dyspear uses her vines to grab Kanata's violin and attack the girls.

Haruka grabs her own Violin and makes a run for it as various students, now aware that something is wrong run outside to find the growing vines and large gusts of wind covering the darkened land. They are frozen from the wave of energy, but Haruka is able to fight it off, along with Kirara and Minami, Pafu, and Aroma. They are shocked to find Dyspear and are unable to see Towa any further, worried that something happened to her. Dyspear reveals that without her despair, she was useless to her and begins to attack the Cures.

They refuse to go down that easily though, and transform as Pafu and Aroma stay back. They attack Dyspear, who sends out several shadow vines out towards them.

Within the cage she has been locked, Towa finds herself growing weaker and hopeless.

The Pretty Cure find themselves weakened and on the ground, realizing Dyspear has powered up with Towa's despair. They are left with no solutions- but Flora, dedicated to saving Towa rises and suddenly gets an idea. She recalls what happened when Kanata played his violin, so she takes her own and with support from Mermaid and Twinkle, they run towards the large tangled vines Dyspear formed and Flora dives deep into them to find the large plant-like cage Towa is trapped within. Mermaid and Twinkle stay outside to keep Dyspear from trying to attack her and before Towa, Flora prepares to play her violin. Towa tells her not to bother, because she doesn't want to hear it. It reminds her of her sinful past, but Flora refuses, telling her it isn't too late to change what she did. She assures Towa that if she continues to wish, her dreams will come true; this is something she learned from Kanata. Towa slowly listens to her as she talks, and Flora tells her they can move forward, together, for his sake and their dreams.

Suddenly, a tremor from outside knocks Kanata's violin loose from the vines and it falls before Towa. Mermaid and Twinkle continue to fight from outside, finding themselves struggling to keep Dyspear at bay.

Towa hesitates until Flora begins to play her violin. It's beautiful melody slowly assures Towa that she will be okay, and with Flora's reassurance she slowly starts to play her brothers violin. Flora stares in awe as Dyspear begins hearing the music from the vines. Towa continues to play, finding herself at ease as Flora joins her. Together they play, creating a beautiful melody as Mermaid and Twinkle realize Dyspear is weakening.

Towa recalls another past memory with Kanata, reassuring her about what was important as a Grand Princess. In this, the vines burst open, freeing Flora and Towa as a bright light shines on them. They continue playing together, with everyone watching until they conclude. Dyspear then asks Towa how she was able to surpass her despair and boldly, Towa tells her she refuses to fall to it any longer. Her sins may not disappear, but if she continues to wish then she will live with them and use this to become the Grand Princess she dreamed off. Enveloped by several flames, Towa falls to the ground and grabs the Princess Perfume. She lands and they change, allowing her to use them and transform into Cure Scarlet.

Everyone stares in shock as they see Towa has become a Pretty Cure and she easily withstands Dyspear's attacks with her new abilities. With grace and agility she stands before her, telling her that she will fight Dyspear until the end to bring the Hope Kingdom back to what it once was. She then prepares her attack, with Kanata's violin changing forms into her weapon, the scarlet violin. Scarlet then changes into Mode Elegant and uses Phoenix Blaze.

As it passes, Scarlet looks around to see Dyspear has fled. She knows that this is only temporary, but tells the group that through the violin she is sure Kanata is alive and well. She also assures them that they will see him again.

Towa apologizes for what she's done to Miss Shamour, who is actually very happy to see her. Towa recalls becoming a Pretty Cure earlier, but she has no idea how to atone for what she's done. Suddenly Haruka trips, running into the room to invite her to join them for some girl time. When Towa hesitates, Haruka, Yui, Kirara, and Minami lead her outside with Pafu and Aroma, but she remains unsure until they drag her along with them.

They decide to first stop at Candy Flower, a clothing store to find her a new outfit. They find it easy to find something befitting of her and buy it right away, but Towa is still confused. They claim it to be a present given the inconvenience of her previous dress, and shyly Towa thanks them before they run out to a flower store to observe everything, followed by an art gallery, taking pictures at a photo booth, and even stopping to eat some donuts. Towa watches as everyone has fun and attempts to enjoy herself as well, but she struggles as she recalls that she has a lot to focus on. She has to save Hope Kingdom at any cost, so enjoying herself is out of the question. She knows she has gotten another chance, and she isn't like them. She asks that they leave her alone and runs off before they can stop her, leaving them to worry about her.

Towa walks off, deciding depending on them is useless. But suddenly a loud sound distracts her and she finds several vehicles behind her. A traffic cop yells at her and seeing that she doesn't understand, he hands Towa a traffic safety booklet. She looks over everything and sees that she must find a place to live, asking a man if he has any castles and some maids. To her disappointment she realizes she is without money in this world, but just when things seem to be improving, she learns children are unable to work. By now she feels so useless and realizing she can't make it on her own, she is comforted by the Headmaster, Yume. She remembers her from a while back and Yume requests her help.

Meanwhile, a very angry Dyspear talks to Shut and Lock. She takes off for the Garden of Despair after handing Lock something they can use to defeat pretty Cure with.

Towa and Yume eat together at a restaurant, and Yume thanks her for coming with her. She mentions her desire to want to try these various items but they were simply too much for her to eat on her own. Towa is unable to understand why everyone is so kind to her here and feels herself growing sad again.

The group attempt to determine what they should do to make Towa feel better. They can see the pain she is in but Haruka realizes leaving her alone would be a terrible idea. She hasn't been able to ever do the things they can do all the time, and she has to realize she isn't alone. Worried over her, Haruka runs out to try to find Towa.

Lock arrives into the human world and finds Towa and Yume walking together. Yume, noticing Towa's saddened mood, brings up that by now her energy has most-likely returned now. She mentions that the heart is the same, and her words touch Towa. But suddenly Lock arrives again and locks Yume's dream to summon a Zetsuborg. Realizing its her own, Towa transforms into Cure Scarlet to fight the Zetsuborg. She uses Scarlet Illusion to block its attacks as the girls try to find Towa. Kirara spots the Zetsuborg and they head down after realizing Towa might be there.

She continues fighting it, now using Scarlet Spark before physically attacking it. Lock resumes speaking to her, and he attempts to reach into her despair by bringing up what has happened. For a moment it seems to work and she gets attacked by the Zetsuborg. Lock then goes on to make the Zetsuborg even stronger with the new item he obtained and harming Yume in the process. To defend Scarlet, the other Cure show up and Lock resumes speaking about how its Towa's fault. Towa feels herself growing further depressed and with ease Lock defeats the girls. Towa quickly comes to Flora's aid and realizes what Yume said was true earlier and she apologizes to Flora for what she's done up to this point. She realizes now that apologies don't make everything better, and she must learn to work with them if she wants to remain hopeful and save her Kingdom. With that the Cure agree to help her and they begin to fight off the Zetsuborg until Scarlet is able to change into Mode Elegant and use Phoenix Blaze.

With the Zetsuborg defeated, Lock takes off and Scarlet opens the cage with Yume in it.

Returning to the original location Dyspear remained, Lock decides he should get serious. With that, he uses his power to change himself into an even stronger form.

The girls are called in to visit the Principal. None of them have met her before, so they're all rather worried, unaware that it is Yume. They are surprised when they realize its her, and she kindly greets the five girls. She greets Towa and decides to enlist her as a student of Noble Academy. At first Towa is unsure but Haruka manages to convince her, along with Minami, Yui, and Kirara. She happily agrees to it.

As Towa enjoys some tea, Kirara informs her she should start to get ready. When Towa shows confusion she lends her a hand getting dressed and together they take off.

Towa is introduced to the class and she is asked to give an introduction. Unaware of what else to say, Towa introduces herself as being from the Hope Kingdom and admits that she doesn't understand much here, unaware of the panicked Aroma, Pafu, and Kirara. In hopes of helping her, Kirara pretends its a joke and is able to convince the other students of that before she requests the teacher letting her sit next to her.

During break Towa joins Haruka, Yui, and Minami to discuss what happened in class, unable to understand why everyone laughed. She also brings up that her temporary surname "Akagi" was given to her by Principal to make things easier. The girls believe it fits her nicely, and Aroma suddenly realizes with her three keys, they now have all twelve. The four admire their beauty, but Towa is unsure her keys are befitting in saving Hope Kingdom- because they were originally made by Dyspear. This disappoints the girls for a moment until they recall Kirara isn't there. They explain to Towa that she has gained a lot of popularity as a model as of late- so her work load has increased.

Meanwhile, Kirara has finished work and is preparing to see what she has to do next when a woman invites her to become the model of her new magazine. Kirara doesn't hesitate to accept the offer and the woman takes off.

Over the next few days the girls are shown doing their own things. With Kirara staying up to draw fashions, while she works on her modeling as she watches Towa perform ballet for a group of admirers. Kirara is also shown falling asleep while Towa plays her violin, and Towa manages to wow the class with her math skills. By now Kirara is very worn out and thinking it would help her, Towa attempts to get tea for her. This doesn't go well though, as they are in the middle of class and momentarily cause a disruption. Towa is left very confused, while Kirara is left exasperated with the event.

During lunch, Kirara discusses the hectic schedule with Minami, Yui, and Haruka as of late while they join Towa. They see she has no lunch, and she mentions that she hasn't had one brought to her yet. She doesn't seem to understand that she has to get it herself when two students approach with items for her. Everyone is surprised that Towa has such fans already, but Kirara tries to tell her that she has to learn to do things on her own and should start. Towa agrees, and Minami points out that she will have dorm duty the following day, asking Kirara to teach her how to do the laundry. However, tensions begin to arise when Kirara teases Towa and her apparent lack of basic knowledge and Towa's pride gets the better of her. The others try to ease the situation, but when a bell goes off Kirara realizes she has to get going.

While preparing for her photo shoot Kirara is approached by the woman with the magazine offer. She assures her everything has been handled and with that she gets to work. Unfortunately Kirara struggles to focus on working and when the photographer suggests a break she accidentally slips, tearing the scarf she had to wear. This causes her to panic and a woman approaches to fix it, but Kirara is left ashamed of what happened.

Towa brushes her hair later in the evening when an exhausted Kirara returns. She isn't in the mood to talk and goes straight to bed, disappointing Towa who soon goes to bed after her.

As this is going on, Shut stares in shock at the aged up Lock. He points it out, but Lock remains casual before pointing out they need to gather a lot of despair to revive and strengthen Dyspear. Shut insists he has changed in this time, but Lock thinks nothing of it.

The next day, Kirara shows Towa how to handle hanging up laundry. She takes off to grab more sheets, checking on Towa to find her overwhelmed with the work. Shirogane shows up to help Towa, explaining that she has to stretch the sheets out so that they properly dry and avoid wrinkling. She comments on the weather before the wind suddenly picks up and a sheet gets carried away. Towa then realizes she forgot to clip the sheets and helps Kirara chase after the one that blew away.

The woman handling the magazine is busy discussing work when Lock suddenly appears. He locks her dream and sends her into the cage of despair to summon a modeling Zetsuborg.

The girls manage to find the sheet on a nearby tree and Kirara, annoyed by this, suggests that she tells her the next time she needs help. To their surprise they find a beautiful area hidden behind it, and Towa recalls a very familiar landscape to this one back when she was little in the Hope Kingdom. She would spend all day there picking flowers. She then goes on to ask Kirara how she can learn to properly smile. She feels that she has forgotten, and asks that Kirara help her. She claims she already knows, recalling that she did it before and shows her that she can smile, wrapping her in the sheet and tickling her until she begins to laugh. Suddenly it occurs to Kirara that it was actually her that seems to have forgotten. She goes on to apologize and thank Towa, and to her surprise, she suddenly smiles. Aroma then shows up to inform them of a Zetsuborg and the girls quickly join the others to find it.

As they find Lock, everyone is surprised to see that Lock has changed form. But they don't linger on it, instead changing into Cure Flora, Mermaid, Twinkle, and Scarlet. The Zetsuborg summons a giant pen to attack the girls, but they stand with ease, with Scarlet and Twinkle using Scarlet Flame and Meteor Humming. The zetsuborg summons a wall of papers to protect it but their attack manages to surpass it and in this time, Scarlet changes into Mode Elegant to use Phoenix Blaze. After the Zetsuborg is defeated Lock takes off and Kirara opens the magazine authors dreams.

The next day Kirara happily admires herself and asks Towa how she is doing. She is happy to see she was able to get dressed and catches up with her as she heads off for class.

Minami is finishing an assembly as everyone prepares to head for home. As it is summer vacation they do not need to be at the school any longer. This depresses Towa, as she isn't really sure what to do and listens as Yui, Minami, and Kirara reveals they will be spending their vacation with Haruka for a slumber party. Minami admits she's never been to a slumber party though, so she has a lot of luggage. Pafu and Aroma will be joining the girls, and to Towa's surprise she will be going with them as well. Before she can think it over they grab her and head off.

Haruka brings everyone to her place, mentioning the town she lives in and that its now a tourist hot spot. She reveals her place in an alleyway and quickly her family greet her, including several people they know.

In the guest room the girls are brought. As Haruka's father joins them Minami reveals she brought them a gift; but everyone is left surprised to see several top class melons within one of her suitcases. She doesn't think much of the gesture though, and Haruka's dad mentions that they are really busy today. Hearing this the girls offer to lend a hand and quickly get to work after assuring Haruka's parents that they don't mind. When the girls finish, they are rewarded with anmitsu after Towa mentions that she likes it, then they head to the nearby hot springs.

After finishing the girls remark how amazing Haruka's home is. She brings up all the summer events they do as well, including the courage test- which is thankfully held during Oban, since Minami is afraid of ghosts. She assures its nothing though, because everyone has something they don't like. This leaves Towa stopping to think about it- but when she is unable to think of an answer she finds herself disappointed.

The next day the girls enjoy eating noodles outside, with Towa and Minami both struggling to figure out how to do it. As Haruka offers them some tips they are given some corn on the cob to enjoy. In this time, Towa and Minami start realizing they actually share a lot of things in common, with both of them having never experienced these things before. As Haruka and her little sister spit seeds from the watermelon they eat, Towa watches with amazement as Minami spits one of her own the furthest.

Later they all enjoy a ride on a boat, then they take pictures before large sunflowers, and pray at a shrine. Eventually as the day dwindles down they find themselves exhausted and lay down for some rest. Minami and Towa are confused by this, with Haruka explaining that its okay to lay down on the Tatami like this. Minami tries to see that it does feel nice, while Kirara helps Towa get adjusted to it.

As evening comes Towa has fallen asleep and begins to have a nightmare. She dreams that she is running away from a large, ghostly Dyspear who attempts to grab her. She is startled awake to find Minami fanning her, explaining that the other girls went off to learn how to make Japanese sweets and offers to go with her so that they can join them. Towa refuses and Minami seems to notice whats bothering her, however, Towa refuses to confide in her until Minami is able to assure her that its alright. Towa hesitantly admits that she is afraid of the evening because it reminds her of her identity as Twilight, an she fears that she will be overtaken by the darkness again. She stops speaking as the other girls join them and they all head outside to play with sparklers and fireworks.

As they enjoy themselves, Towa finds herself depressed. A group of men approach the girls and remind them to properly tend to the fireworks before they head off when Haruka assures them she has a bucket of water for them all. Just when they find they are all done for the evening- the girls are surprised to learn Minami brought a large amount in her second suitcase. She hands one to Towa and a group of children find the girls. They and their mothers are invited to join, and together everyone celebrates, except for Minami and Towa, who sit together to enjoy their sparklers. Towa admits she isn't that afraid of evening any more, and Minami suggests she relies on them more. They share a small laugh and end their evening fun with more fireworks.

Meanwhile, Shut sails on a boat with frustration. Lock looks down upon him and expects him to do his fair share of work despite knowing how down he is over Twilight being gone. However, upon seeing Towa and how happy she is- he is filled with anger and attacks the guys from earlier, locking their leader in a cage of despair and summoning a Zetsuborg.

As it approaches everyone the children and mothers are instructed to safety by Yui as a dark fog covers the area. Towa finds herself near Shut, who laments that Twilight is gone an how disappointed he is. However, seeing how happy she is now makes him very angry, and as such he has to rid of her. As he prepares to attack her, Minami pushes Towa aside insisting that she is their friend, Towa. Twilight is gone and no more, and nothing is going to bring her back and he has to accept that. Together the duo transform into Cure Mermaid and Cure Scarlet.

They fight the Zetsuborg but find themselves struggling against it. They aid one-another and are joined by Twinkle and Flora, who assure they wont let anyone hurt Towa. With that Flora and Twinkle use Lys Tourbillon and Full Moon Humming, followed by Mermaid using Bubble Ripple to send it into the air. With this opening, Scarlet uses Scarlet Spark to send it flying back into the ground. Seeing it weakened, she then changes into Mode Elegant and uses Phoenix Blaze. She unlocks the cage and Shut takes off with everyone heading back to Haruka's place. Towa admits that Shut didn't ruin anything- because she actually thought it was fun and enjoyed herself. To their surprise, Minami has one final suitcase for them- but she tells the girls they have to wait for it. They are then joined by Haruka's parents.

Towa returns to the academy one morning with Aroma and Pafu. The others stayed home, so it seems strange and quiet to be there now. Aroma and Pafu express concern when Towa seems to react oddly all of the sudden- but she claims it to be nothing.

Inside, they find nobody inside the building at all. Despite this, Towa is excited to have returned. Aroma informs her of their plans to visit Kirara later, and how they will be spending the night at her place. Still excited, Towa enjoys being alone and uses this as a chance to have a little bit of fun she normally is incapable of doing. Pafu and Aroma are confused by this at first, but they decide there isn't much harm in it because she's so happy. They return to her dorm and Towa begins to unpack, but they worry when she falls and they notice how warm she is all of the sudden. Towa starts to cough and they begin to fret, realizing she caught a cold. They suggest that she lays down and Aroma flies off to get ice for her. Pafu remains to keep her comfortable in bed, assuring her that they will stay with her until she feels better.

As Towa rests, they attempt to call Haruka. She suddenly gets a call and is shocked when Aroma informs them of a cold she got. She separates from her family to speak further and brings out a concerned Miss Shamour, who offers to make some tea for Aroma to pick up. They also give Minami a call and she promises to return to the dorm as soon as she can. Kirara also offers once her work finishes. With that Aroma takes off to fetch the tea and tells Pafu to take care of Towa. She promises to do her best- but struggles when she is unable to handle the feeling of the damp cloth and gets a cooling patch stuck to her paws. She laments this as Towa's fever worsens, and she attempts to put the patch on her, only to fall off the bed. She sadly apologizes for being unable to do much, but Towa insists that just having her there has calmed her down.

As they are bonding, Aroma arrives to meet up with Haruka and Miss Shamour. He takes the tea and they tell him to do well taking care of Towa for now, but should anything happen he should contact them right away.

As this is going on, a depressed Shut finds himself unsure of what to do now. He should gather despair but there's nobody around, causing him aggravation until he spots a cicada on the tree nearby. Despite it being little he takes advantage of this and uses the cicada to summon a Zetsuborg, locking it within the cage of Despair. However, this particular Zetsuborg ends up being very tiny, which aggravates him.

As noon approaches, the tiny Zetsuborg appears. Pafu worries when she spots it and Shut, but she promises to protect Towa no matter what.

As this is going on the girls rush back to school.

Pafu heads outside with a bug net and demands the Zetsuborg be quiet. Shut isn't very impressed to see her- but she mentions that the others aren't there, but Towa is trying to rest. She attempts to catch the small insect Zetsuborg, chasing it around he area as Shut watches awkwardly. Miss Shirogane is busy hanging laundry while this going on- but she is unaware of what is going on and heads back inside. Pafu tries to insists she is fine after falling, but just as the Zetsuborg prepares to attack her, Aroma arrives to protect his sister. He had already dropped off the tea so its okay, they just have to chase Shut and the Zetsuborg away. Shut demands that it finishes them off and it grows in size, changing form and causing them to panic.

By now the trio have arrived to the school and met up with each other. Pafu and Aroma manage to trick the insect Zetsuborg, but only temporarily. As they are battered around, they insist they won't let Shut get near Towa. Suddenly, they start to glow, catching Towa's attention as the trio arrive. To everyone's surprise, Aroma and Pafu have gained new attire and transformed. Towa remarks on this and joins everyone, insisting she is feeling better. Somehow the light managed to heal her, and the girls remark that they don't feel tired either, despite running their way there. Before they can linger on it, they quickly observe the little Zetsuborg and transform, asking Aroma and Pafu to leave it to them.

The fight quickly breaks out and the Zetsuborg changes into bigger form again. The Pretty Cure attack with it with a flurry of kicks, sending it flying to the ground fairly quickly. The Zetsuborg releases sound waves to distract them, but Aroma finds herself able to block them with her hair, and Aroma assures them they will do their best to help. Pafu throws Aroma like a ball at the Zetsuborg to make it stop and allow Cure Scarlet to change into Mode Elegant and use Phoenix Blaze. This defeats it and Scarlet unlocks the cage of despair to free the cicada. Disappointed in this Shut takes off, promising that next time will be a lot different.

Back within the school, the girls observe the transformed Pafu and Aroma. Miss Shamor explains that the royal fairies transform when they are able to help those they care for from the bottom of their hearts, and with it, they gain a healing aura capable of curing the sick or weary. She admits that she never saw it before this instance, and Towa thanks Aroma and Pafu for their help. However, they insists she rests more because even if she feels better, she might still be sick. She agrees and embraces them both.

Everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming festival. At the Academy the girls have finished preparing with some help from Minami, and Yui brings how excited she is to be working a stand with Haruka.

Meanwhile, Yuki is being watched by his fan girls during some tennis. But they show concern as they notice something is off.

The festival eventually starts, with Yui and Haruka working with another girl to sell sweets. Haruka is very happy, but surprised when a few male classmates tell the group its time to switch. In this time Haruka decides to go with Yui to check out the sights. They are approached by Minami, with everyone taken by how elegant she looks. She asks how work went, and Haruka explains how happy she was to see everyone having so much fun. Haruka then goes on to talk to Reiko, who is struggling to toss a hoop around a stuffed doll shaped like Pafu. Pafu is delighted to see it, and they start to wonder who made it- only for Mis Shirogane to reveal it was her. She then tells them the students each get one free toss and Haruka manages to land it, handing over the Pafu doll to Reiko. This surprises her but she gratefully accepts it.

Afterwards, the girls are surprised to find Towa and Kirara in the middle of having their pictures taken. They explain that Kirara invited her to join in the picture she was having taken for modeling, and since she has time, they can hang out together. Yui happens to note how nice it is that they can all be together, considering they didn't make plans on it. After the girls share a small laugh, they start to head off elsewhere- only for Haruka and Yuki to bump into each other. The object he was holding busts apart and accidentally sprays water on Haruka, but she claims it isn't a big deal, although his teammates disagree. One gets very frustrated with Yuki and starts to tell him off, but the other suggests they just give him some space and they head off. Haruka can sense something is wrong, but Yuki offers to treat them to some food to make up for what he did. With that in mind, the group, plus Yuki continue to enjoy the festival, eating, trying on masks, eating shaved ice and grilled corn, and eventually a shooting game.

Throughout this Haruka can tell something is wrong, and while Yuki plays she happens to spot the bandaging on his arm. Haruka attempts to figure out what it is when his fan girls suddenly approach and drag him off. As this is going on, Yui explains this to a concerned group.

The girls take Haruka behind the booths and they ask that Haruka helps Yuki. She seems confused until they recall their bond from the past, and Haruka admits that she has began to notice something strange as of late. He loves tennis so much, so its strange for him to put something else ahead of it. She asks if something happened and they recall that he got hurt one day, it wasn't a major injury but he was dropped from the first team. They think he might be bitter about it, and as a result he is in a really bad mood. Haruka agrees to try to lift his spirts when she sees how desperate his fan girls are, but unknown to them, Yuki and the group have been watching them. Haruka runs up to meet up with them- but to her shock he instantly tells her to mind her own business. He claims their support is useless and demands to be left alone, storming off after.

As this is going on, Shut remains frustrated and unsure of what to do at this point. He's agitated and tired of thought, but when all hope seems lost he spots the fan girls and uses his abilities to lock their Dreams and toss them into the Cage of Despair. Due to their shared dream he is able to summon three Cheer Leader Zetsuborg.

The Zetsuborg suddenly arrive along with Shut, who collects their despair. The girls waste no time changing into Cure Flora, Cure Twinkle, Cure Mermaid, and Cure Scarlet, angry that he would try to ruin everyone's fun time at the Festival.

The Zetsuborg attack the girls, and Yuki happens to witness Cure Flora fighting against one as it hits her and sends her flying into the ground. He recalls the mysterious girl from when she saved him previously, and it prepares to attack him, with Mermaid stepping in to save him. She asks Flora to defend Yuki and get him to safety, and she grabs him to lead him away. Cure Scarlet then uses Scarlet Spark on one of them, while Twinkle uses Meteor Humming. Their attacks manage to distract the Zetsuborg as Flora drops off Yuki and prepares to leave. He brings up that she saved him the past and insists she gets back, causing him to chase after her as he tries to talk to her.

The Zetsuborg release a twister on the girls, sending them flying back before the yellow turns into a spiraling ball, shooting out gusts of wind. As Flora sees Yuki in pain she asks if he is okay, but he insists its nothing, asking why she fights the Zetsuborg. She tells him that it isn't very amazing, but they fight to protect the dreams of others. Yuki realizes that she also helped to protect his dream- but he claims it was a waste of time because the coach refused to let Yuki play in the next tournament. He doesn't see why he should be there if he can't even play, but Flora tries to assure him he has more chances after this. Yuki insists it isn't true though, because he's stuck there waiting, having lost the chance he's been waiting for in all this time. Rather than coddle his self-disdain, Flora calls him out on his behavior, saying he shouldn't let one chance get the best of him. Everyone has had disappointments but they look at their friends and those who care about them to get through it, and he needs to see that as well.

Realizing she might have been too pushy, Flora quickly takes off. Yuki thinks about what she said and he realizes she was right, which angers him further.

As the Zetsuborg prepares to attack, Flora returns to help the girls. They stand back to wait for their next attack, but to their shock Yuki has returned, using a rock to knock the Zetsuborg off guard. Flora is delighted that Yuki has cheered up, and with this opening Cures change into Mode Elegant. Scarlet uses Phoenix Blaze, while the trio use Trinity Explosion to aid her attack and defeat the trio of Zetsuborg.

With the girls returned to safety, the Cures vanish as several flower petals flurry by. They change to normal and return with everyone else to the festival as Yuki's fan girls awaken to find him waiting. He apologizes for his attitude and tells them he will be heading back to rest, but the girls stop him to admit how they feel about him. This allows Yuki to see that he actually means a lot to the girls, and they ask to keep cheering him on. However, he asks that they also support everyone else too, and the girls agree.

As this is going on the fireworks begin and the group turn away to watch.

As Yuki walks off, he tries to figure out how Flora could have known his name. He gets no idea, but decies not to question it too long.

The girls all go to the beach, where Towa seems to be insistent on doing activities other than swimming. Unable to tell the others that she can't swim, Towa is joined by Yui, who expresses how envious she is of her being able to help everyone, but still feels content with being with everyone. Just then, Lock appears and targets Yui to create a Sketchbook Zetsuborg to attack Towa, while also sending clones of himself to attack the other Cures. Understanding the importance of being around everyone, Towa manages to defeat the Zetsuborg and rescue Yui, whose notebook brings forth a new Dress-Up Key, the Sun Key. Later that night, Haruka and the others are shocked to discover that Lock had managed to steal all of their Dress-up Keys during their fight.

While dreaming of Prince Kanata while in her Cure Flora form, Haruka suddenly awakens to realize she is running late. With second semester about to begin, Haruka is very excited and quickly gets ready to start the school day.

As this is going on, nobody is aware of the strange pods falling to the ground in random locations. They sink into the ground, releasing a dark pulse in the surrounding area.

Haruka hands over her work from break, very happy to be complimented by the teacher when pretty flowers catch her attention. Later, Miss Shamour teaches the girls how to learn proper flower arrangement. She observes Haruka's work, deeming it to be just okay, but Haruka admits she has no idea how to arrange flowers. She watches as the others manage to get it with ease, but Towa asks how Lock is doing. Miss Shamour mentions that he is still resting and needs time to recover, and they admit their shock to learn he is really a fairy, like they are. After defeating him they had no choice but to bring him back, and she promises to take care of him while he heals. With that Aroma brings up the girls upgrade in power and mentions how much closer they are to be coming Grand Princess. When Towa expresses a desire to see her brother soon, Haruka claims they will soon before suggesting they go out to pick weeds. She hasn't been able to focus on cleaning the garden lately, but when the others don't share her interest she heads out on her own to find a classmate, Hanae, pulling the weeds for her.

Haruka incidentally startles her, and she compliments her for her efforts. Hanae admits that she really likes flowers, and Haruka is delighted to find another friend who shares her love of them. Together they work as a strange bird watches overhead.

Inside, Haruka and Hanae begin to disuss the upcoming changes with the flowers for the season and Haruka asks about Hanae's future dreams. She admits she isn't sure she is good at anything, so she doesn't have any for now. Haruka manages to convince her that she is wrong though, insisting that dreams are precious things anyone can have. Once again Haruka startles Hanae as she realizes she was the one to arrange the flowers in their classroom and Haruka once again compliments her. Hanae insists she isn't good, but Haruka suggests she become a flower coordinator, someone who arranges flowers for events and in shops. This seems to inspire Hanae, with Haruka promising to cheer her on for her new dream. Hanae agrees, and mentions that with her support she feels she really can become one. With that Haruka asks for some advice, and Hanae remains there while Haruka goes to grab the flowers from the room.

Back in the room Pafu is unable to shake a strange feeling she has.

As Haruka runs outside, she is shocked to find a million black crows everywhere. As one dives at her, Towa manages to push her out of harms way as the others join them. To everyone's shock, the crows reveal Close and they stare in fright as he speaks and wilts the flowers within the gardens surrounding them. The group wastes no time changing into Cure Flora, Cure Mermaid, Cure Twinkle, and Cure Scarlet. To their surprise, Close appears much faster and able to easily evade their attacks and sending them flying back. He takes a moment to observe Cure Scarlet, but he isn't phased and easily attacks her, seemingly disappointed by this. Two more of the strange pods are released and with them, two new figures make their appearance, Stop and Freeze, a pair of Zetsuborg. The girls note they don't even look like them as Stop and Freeze appear to throw Hanae into the Cage of Despair and summon a flower Zetsuborg.

The Zetsuborg starts to attack Pretty Cure, releasing several large and sharp knife-like flowers at them. The girls are barely able to withstand them as Aroma and Pafu start to worry, but Flora refuses to give in, offended by their use of flowers in such a way. She uses Rose Tourbillon while Mermaid and Twinkle hit the Zetsuborg, allowing Scarlet to get a hit and allowing the girls to use the Princess Palace to change into their Sakura, Coral, Galaxy, and Sun Mode Elegant forms and use Eclat Espoir to defeat the Zetsuborg.

Freeze and Stop are momentarily disappointed by their defeat, but they don't linger on it long. The girls are surprised as Close speaks, but he takes off and they release Hanae from the Cage of Despair, allowing her dream to return. As Flora keeps hold of her, they try to determine what Close was telling them.

As this is going on, a depressed Shut is shocked when he hears Close and finds him nearby. Close mentions being revived and calls Lock nothing but a traitor in the end. However, the Despair lock filled entirely so he was able to return. Suddenly, the forest of despair returns, and a large burst of red leg causes the forest to grow even larger and overtake the duo to create a new home for Dyspear. Close speaks to her and mentions that he has planted the seeds of despair, and she insists Freeze, Stop, and Shut are to follow his orders from now on.

That evening, Hanae helps Haruka with her flower arrangement, and she happily notices how much her work has improved. Unknown to them, a mysterious man stands outside along the ocean.

As Kirara and the others were enjoying their Marble Donuts, a Zetsuborg created by Stop & Freeze appeared, Kirara saw it first and rushed off. Haruka, Minami and Towa got up from their table to defeat it only to realize Kirara wasn't there. Kirara had already transformed and was defeating the monster with Twinkle Humming! This shocked the girls and they ran to catchup to Kirara as she just placed the victim on the park bench. Two fans of Kirara noticed Kirara but she walks off due to sensing that they may want an autograph. Meanwhile, Bauanne Baurollo arrives at the airport.

At the academy, Kirara is playing basketball with her classmates when they comment on how rare it is to see her have fun as a worried Haruka and Yui watch from a window inside the academy. Later that night, Haruka confronts Kirara about her job as a model when Shirogane-san appears out of nowhere to report that Kirara has guests. They turn out to be Akehoshi Karin and Tachi Kyoko who question her about why she is suspending her modelling career. Bauanne also appears to ask Kirara about an offer he as for her, but she turns him down before he can tell her what it is. This shocks everyone, Karin especially since it caused her to cry. Kirara walks away and Towa chases after her to talk sense into her dream. Kirara thought she could put 200% into both modelling and being a Pretty Cure. And it didn't work out, so she picked Pretty Cure over modelling.

Outside, Karin explains to Haruka, Minami and Yui about how she always chased her dream to be like Kirara but without Kirara as her inspiration any more, she doesn't know what to do. Haruka doesn't want Kirara to lose sight of her sparkling dream so she came up with an idea to make Kirara chase after her dream again. With Mochizuki-sensei's approval, Haruka and Minami were allowed to create a fashion of dreams at the academy. But they couldn't do it alone and they needed models, so they went around the academy looking for help. So with everyone wanting to help out, the preparations started with the whole school helping out. As that happened, Aroma and Pafu told Prince Kanata about what was going on with Kirara which lead him to discover that all four castles may be linked to the Pretty Cure's dreams.

As the sun was setting, Kirara walked into her room and looked down at a magazine that had her on the front cover. Then she noticed a letter tucked in underneath the magazine. It turned out it was an invitation to the fashion of dreams! When Kirara walked into the show's room, lights flashed on and Minami stood on stage, announcing the beginning of the fashion show.

As each participant walked down the runway, Minami told the audience what their dreams were. After the surprise guest, Karin, walked down the stage, her pose triggered Kirara to having a flashback of her doing a similar pose when she was a child to her mother. Behind her, Haruka, alongside Yui, asks Kirara how the show was. Kirara said it wasn't good since the stage was a mess and the models were amateurs in which Haruka stated that Kirara wasn't even supposed to be in the audience, and says how she thought the first show she saw of Kirara's was amazing. Haruka says how she wants Kirara to keep chasing her dream, in which Kirara walks to the dressing room, where Towa, Pafu and Aroma were waiting. Kirara gets changed and walks onto stage and walks the runway while thinking how much fun it is to be a model. At the end of the runway, Minami asks what her dream is in which Kirara answers that she wants to be the most sparking star, the number one model in the world. This causes Karin to cry in happiness, everyone to be happy for her and Bauanne to call her a "High End Star Princess".

Backstage, Bauanne asks Kirara if she would like to hear his offer in which he tells her what it is as Yui listens in worry and Ranko on stage sings her song to the audience. Meanwhile, the star on the Star Palace in the Hope Kingdom begins shining again in which Dyspear creates a Metsuborg to stop it from shining. Haruka, Minami and Towa go to visit Kirara backstage but Aroma and Pafu alert them to the Metsuborg. The four girls run to where the Metsuborg is and they transform into Go! Princess Pretty Cure. As they fight against the Metsuborg, the Metsuborg tries to eat them, but Scarlet and Mermaid block the attack. They then help Flora and Twinkle to attack the Metsuborg's head. Twinkle uses her Meteor Humming attack to surround the Metsuborg with shooting stars as she punches it in the face. Flora then comes from the sky to kick it. Twinkle then appears floating on a full moon and states she won't be stopped any more and kicks the moon towards the Metsuborg then uses Galaxy Chorus to turn the Metsuborg back into its original form, a lock. The Cures than use Grand Printemps to defeat the lock.

As the Cures look at the Hope Kingdom, the Royal Key shines before Twinkle, and she says "Royal Majesty" which takes them to the Star Castle. Kanata appears and tells Twinkle to restore the castle, in which Twinkle does, which makes the sky return to its original state. This causes Dyspear to not be very happy.

After the Star Castle is restored, Kirara then tells everyone what Bauanne said to her, which was that in the Spring she will go to Paris to be the exclusive model of his brand. This means she can only stay at Noble Academy for a little bit longer which causes everyone to be upset. Haruka then says that Kirara will have to become a Grand Princess and save Hope Kingdom before then, which Kirara agrees with. Aroma doesn't believe it would happen but Kirara says it will since she is Amanogawa Kirara.
