Having returned the Princess of Silver Kingdom back to normal, Ayako offered to take care of the Princess since she was already having to take care of Chain. Not to mention the fact it would help for her to wake up to a familiar face.

"I'll make sure to look for something at home that may help." Gina offered.

"That would be great, thanks." Chain smiled.

"It's alright." Gina grinned.

"All of us better get home before our parents worry." Ayako said she started walking with the princess in her arms.

"Agreed." The others followed.

At home, Ayako couldn't help feeling as though Chain was concerned. Well, more than usual. Giving the fairy something for dinner when she arrived back in her room, Ayako was concerned about the fairy not being able to get sleep.

"You know, Chain, I want to see the Princess too but you do have to get some sleep tonight." Ayako worried.

"But I want to see her when she wakes up." Chain stressed.

"And I'm sure she will, but sleep is important too." Ayako changed into her pajamas.

"Okay." Chain sighed, setting up a place next to the Princess.

While looking through some books in the library at home, Gina found a book tucked away behind some fiction books she used to like reading. Looking through the pages of it, Gina was confident about what she was trying to find and texted her friends.

'Meet me on the roof at school tomorrow. Make sure to bring the Princess with you too tomorrow, Ayako.'

'Got it.'

Lunch came soon enough and when the three were on the roof of the school, Ayako made sure to gently place the Princesses sleeping body on a bench. Gina had taken out her book to read as she had to wait for Ayako to arrive and got set to starting whatever it was she was planning.

"What are you planning on doing, Gina?" Ako asked her friend. "You are aware she is unconscious right."

"I know." Gina answered while reading the book.

"What are you reading anyway?" Ayako quizzed.

"A spell book." A simple answer came from the engrossed reader.

"Huh?" Her friends shared a glance.

"Just trust me." She stated.

"If you say so." Ako sighed and Chain perked up.

"What is it, Chain?" Ayako asked the fairy.

"Chuuya." She whispered.

"Let's go, Ako."

"Right behind you."

Precure! Wind my gears!

Clicking the pen and drawing on-air, Ayako got a high waisted layered skirt and a long sleeve shirt that went around below her shoulders. Placing her feet into a circle gave her mid-knee boots and stockings.

Long ponytails were made in her hair mid-back length garnet hair with the change to more of the rose tint. A top hat on a hairband soon followed and the pen made room in a bag which manifested from it.

Clicking the pen and drawing on-air, Ako got a dress with a strap wrapped around the left shoulder and the skirt of the dress that ended midthigh and fabric that was split at the belly that wrapped around her. She drew a diamond with her feet and as it glowed, she was given heeled knee-high boots and thigh-high fishnets.

A long ponytail was made with her deep purple hair with the change to more of the lighter tint of the color, which went to her right. A gear was at the start of the ponytail and bat wings manifested on her back which was soon followed the pen making room in a bag manifested from it.

"May these wings help me to fly in the light of love. Cure Butterfly!"

"May these wings guide me through the darkness and into the light of day. Cure Bat!"

Jumping straight into the fighting, Butterfly and Bat were doing alright for the most part.

"Where's the third one?" Dan asked.

"That doesn't matter, we can fight just as well on our own." Butterfly exclaimed.

"Yeah, right." Dan remarked. "Chuuya. Get them."

"Chuuya."

"Woah."

"The light from past and future help you. Precure! Watchful Strike!"

"Watch!" The duo exclaimed.

"Glad you could join us." Dan bowed.

"Glad I could get here in time." She helped her friends up.

"Thanks." Bat brushed herself off to which Butterfly did the same.

"How is the Princess?" Butterfly asked.

"She's fine."

"You found who!"

"Does it matter?"

"Let's finish this."

"Right."

"As light comes together, may you find peace. Precure! Steampunk Chorus!"

De-transforming on the school roof after introducing themselves to the Princess, they didn't get a response from her right away.

"It's alright, your highness." Ayako assured her. "Take your time. You don't have to speak with us right away."

"Has she spoken to you yet, Chain?" Gina asked the fairy.

"Indeed, but is usually nervous around those she is unfamiliar with." Chain nodded.

"That's good to know." Ako remarked and the bell rang.

"Let's get to class." Gina gestured to the door.

"Will you be okay in my bag, your majesty?" Ayako asked. "You'll have Chain to keep you company while I'm in class."

Classes proceeded as normal with some slight chatter about the Precure and that was about it.
