"Where Is It? Our Secret Base!?" (どこなの?わたし達の秘密基地!? Doko na no? Watashitachi no Himitsu Kichi!??) is the 7th episode of Smile Pretty Cure!, the 7th episode of Glitter Force, and the 396th episode of the Pretty Cure franchise overall. The English title is "The Perfect Hideout".

Synopsis[]

In order to gain some privacy for Pretty Cure, the girls attempt to locate the perfect base. But after having trouble agreeing on each others ideas, the girls attempt to find a way to unify the team.

Summary[]

During their lunch break at school, the girls gather at their usual pavilion and use the Phone Decor to call Pop. However, they are soon interrupted by their classmates, and Akane has to distract them with a lie about seeing UFOs while the others quickly hide Candy and the Decor Décor.

Deciding they need a quieter location, the girls look around school but have no luck. Miyuki suggests they try to find a secret place for their Pretty Cure activities, and the girls agree to her idea.

The next day, the girls get ready for their search, each bringing some items that they would like to have in their secret base. Miyuki brings some of her favorite books, Akane an okonomiyaki hotplate, Yayoi a bead bracelet maker, Nao a picnic basket, and Reika a wall scroll. Using the Book Door code on their own bookshelves, they meet up in the Magical Library.

Initially, Akane remarks that the Magical Library seems like a great place for their secret base, but as they begin to consider it, Yayoi suddenly falls into a hole while looking around. The others try to follow her, but Miyuki gets stuck in a bunch of branches. This angers the girls and they abandon the idea of using the Magical Library as a secret base, so each girl takes turns using the Book Door to go the place she wants.

First, Reika brings everyone to the top of Mt. Fuji through a bookshelf in the research station at the summit. She explains that although the path of a Pretty Cure is rugged, their goal is something special and mighty like the tall Mt. Fuji. However, the other girls are unable to understand her deeper logic and decide that it's too cold.

Disappointed, Yayoi remarks on how Reika doesn't know what a real secret base is, and with that she takes her turn and brings everyone to a high-tech secret base. The girls are extremely impressed, but it turns out that the spot is really just a set for a movie, and the girls are shooed away.

Next, Nao leads the girls to a room decorated all in pink and filled with soft toys. Impressed and pleased, they decide to have their picnic lunch there until a man suddenly comes by, telling them that eating is prohibited in the store. It turns out that the location is actually a giant toy shop and they are in the display. As they observe their surroundings, a little girl mistakes Candy for one of the soft toys and she is almost sold.

Akane takes her turn next, leading the girls into a gorilla enclosure within the zoo through a picture on the bookshelf drawn inside in the exhibit. Her logic is that nobody would intrude on them there, but Reika points out that they are intruding on the gorillas instead and it isn't fair to them. Now disappointed, the girls begin to mope as they return to the Magical Library and Miyuki tries to cheer them up.

Reika asks Miyuki why she believes in such an ideal secret base so much. Miyuki explains that she was inspired by the story Anne of Green Gables, in which Anne and Diana pledged their eternal friendship in a secret base in the woods. As a child, Miyuki once made her own secret spot in the woods near her where she grew up. The girls think this sounds like a perfect spot, and decide to check it out.

Trekking through the woods, the girls find Miyuki's secret spot, but it has now been taken by two littie girls. Miyuki hides her disappointment, but concedes that it's those girls' special spot now, and she can't take that away from them. Suddenly, Wolfrun appears and creates a Bad End space that plunges the little girls into sorrow. The girls transform into Pretty Cure to fight, and Wolfrun creates a tree Akanbe to battle them.

Although the girls are initially overpowered by the Akanbe, Happy's strong wish to protect the two girls' special spot gives her enough fighting spirit to perform Happy Shower. The Akanbe tries to attack her, but is stopped by the other four Cures, allowing Happy to complete her attack and purify the Akanbe. The Cures gain their 7th Cure Decor piece, the Ring Decor.

While walking back from the woods, Miyuki suddenly gets an idea: to let the Book Door decide the best secret base. She asks the Book Door to take them to the optimal place for their needs, but it simply places them back in the library. This causes the girls to realize that the library itself was the best base after all.

Now satisfied, the girls take their own seat upon a row of toadstools but soon realize they are too far apart. Candy suggests they use the Star Decor to decorate the library. To their amazement, the Decor piece turns a large tree stump nearby into an indoor library. Excited, the girls decorate the place with their own belongings and make a toast to celebrate their new base.
