Synopsis
At a hill in the night, Cure Blossom is looking up at the mysterious guy, wanting to thank him for saving her. However, he surprised her by gently embracing her, and, saying that he is being too forward, fushes him away. Accidentally she pushes Chypre and Coffret, as the whole meeting was just a dream. The fairies ask her what the dream was about, but she blushes, stating that it is a secret. At the window, she meets Erika, who greets her good morning before asking her why she does not have the school uniform on. Realizing that she did not turn on the clock before going to bed, she hurries to change, making Erika smile.

On their way to school, Erika expresses her happiness when pointing out that Tsubomi followed her advice about taking off her glasses and changing her hairstyle. Tsubomi admits that she thinks that if she changes her outer look, her personality might change, as well, which Erika agrees on. The school clock rings, but when Tsubomi calls Erika "Erika-san" (a common formal way to say someone's name in Japanese), she tells her to stop using "-san", or else Tsubomi will have to buy her milk.

At lunch, Erika takes Tsubomi to the roof, where she claims is the best place to eat thanks to the great view. While eating, Erika mentions that she recently has dreamed about someone called Cure Moonlight who get defeated, and much to Erika's shock and Tsubomi's grief, Chypre and Coffret jumps from Tsubomi's lunch box, exclaiming that it is a sign that Erika can become a Cure, as well. Tsubomi explains everything to Erika, saying that her dreams about Pretty Cure were all real, and that Cure she is Cure Blossom, which shocks Erika. Erika thinks back to Cure Blossom's cute outfit, but before she can give an answer, the student council president Myoudouin Itsuki appears, asking her where the member list for the fashion club is, as he cannot allocate clubs without it. Upon leaving, Tsubomi is blushing and says that Itsuki is cool, in which Erika states that it is the grandchild of the chairman they are talking about, after all. Chypre and Coffret come out from their hiding place, reasking Erika about becoming Pretty Cure, but although Erika likes the thought, she declines the offer, stating that she does not have time. she then leaves and takes Tsubomi with her for help. Not knowing what to do, the fairies go to Cure Flower for advice. Meanwhile at the Desert Messenbers' head quarter, Sasorina reports the news of the new Pretty Cure after Cure Moonlight's defeat. Sabaku states that it will be a bother if she continues to collect Heart Seeds, but Sasorina claims that, since she recently became Cure Blossom, she can easily defeat her by herself before she leaves. Back at school, Tsubomi and Erika, now with banners promoting the fashion club, visits a first-year classroom to ask them to join, but nobody is interested. However, Erika notices a girl looking out at the window. She asks her if she wants to join the club, but the girl Ueshima Sayaka, states that she does not want to join such a weak club.
