Steampunk Precure

Searching for a Present

"While we love helping you, Ayako." Gina scratched her cheek. "Why do you need our help in picking out a present for Fuyumi?"

"It's for the wedding and I have chosen to give my brother and her different presents," Ayako explained with a sigh. "I have something for my brother already but I need help to find something for Fuyumi because I can't come up with anything worthwhile."

"Why don't you make something for her?" Ako suggested.

"I tried but they all ended up being found or destroyed before I could complete it." Ayako groaned.

"Are you sure that a card will be fine?" Gina inquired.

"Just a card will only be used as a last resort if I can't find anything to give it with." Ayako rubbed her eyes with her palms.

"And that's why you want our help," Ako smirked.

"Mmhm." hummed Ayako.

"Shall we start here?" Gina pointed to a store.

"May as well." Ayako dragged her feet.

"Where is Ayako?" Fuyumi asked.

"She's out with her friends." Eijirou pointed out. "Why do you ask?"

"I need her help with something." Fuyumi sat beside her fiancée.

"Don't you think you're being a little demanding of her and her time?"

"Uh, why are you asking?"

"That poor girl has been worked to the bone by you and she needs to have some downtime."

"I know, but I want the wedding to be-"

"Perfect."

"Yeah."

"I know, but the wedding can't be perfect if everyone has been pushed past their limits."

". . ."

"Besides, she has a lot on her plate with school and the secret life you all live. The wedding preparations may only be adding to the stress."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"I know I am. Don't you think you can let up on some of her preparations?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Thank you."

Going through each shop in the mall and some nearby marketplaces, Ayako couldn't seem to find the right present for her soon to be sister in law. Letting out a groan as she sat on a bench, Ayako looked at the trees above her.

"I can't find anything for her," Ayako whined. "What am I going to do?"

"How about we all make something for her?" Gina offered.

"Really?" Ayako sat up.

"Yeah." Ako grinned.

"Thanks." Ayako settled.

"Girls, we've got trouble."

"Daimu?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go."

Gathering together . . .

"Ready to shine?" Fuyumi inquired.

"Yeah." The teens exclaimed.

"Let's go!" Ayako punched the air.
