**Estel:** Lucol told me everything. Did you find the style of your memories?

**Thia:** Yeah, I just remembered a while back! I wanted to try it out.

**Estel:** ...Themis reacted to your outfit before, didn't she?
 Nothing ever happened all the time I kept trying...

**Thia:** Really? Things must have changed because of all that **Tokimeki** you brought back.

**Estel:** No. I think it's because you're special.

**Thia:** Hm? But I'm just a normal CocoDoll.

**Estel:** I didn't mean that. What I meant was... You must be special to Themis.

**Thia:** Estel... When did you first meet Themis?

**Estel:** After she became Princess. And we've been together ever since.

**Thia:** That's pretty long...

**Estel:** Becoming a Princess was a childhood dream of mine. I was determined to become one someday.

But one day, a little Princess who was about my age showed up in front of me...

Her skills were clearly much better than mine, but I wasn't upset.

Instead, her outfit stole my heart in an instant.

**Thia:** I see... That's just how amazing Themis is, huh?

**Estel:** Amazing? Amazing doesn't even being to describe her, but...

For better or for worse, it does fit her to a Themis.

That's why she's like this now.

I won't hesitate anymore. If Themis keeps sleepign likee this, one day she's going to just...

**Thia:** That's how weak she's become?

**Estel:** We should stop the chatter and get to business. Allow me to do a check on you.

**Thia:** That's fine. I'll be going with something **cute** and **casual**. Don't go easy on me, Estel.

**Estel:** (Themis... Your long-awiated younger sister is here. Please wake up!)

**Thia:** Let's start! Themis, this is the style of our memories! I hope it gives you some **Tokimeki**.

### End

**Estel:** She... Reacted!

**Thia:** Themis... No. She's still sleeping. She must not have enough base **Tokimeki** yet.

**Estel:** No... She can't keep sleeping like this. It's not going to be good for her body.

Themis! Wake up... Wake up already! You can hear me, right?

**Thia:** Estel, calm down!

**Estel:** All the **Tokimeki** I've gathered wasn't enough to make up for what she's lost...

**Thia:** Then let's work together! Your Serenities and my Unit, too. If we all take to the **Stage** together...

**Estel:** If even that doesn't work, then it'll be too late. I don't think I could take that.

**Estel:** No, I'll use all Gemini's **Tokimeki**, plus the **Tokimeki** within me, and--

**Thia:** Estel? Wait, what are you planning?!

**Alcio:** Sorry we're late, Thia... Huh? What's going on? Is that Estel...?

**Thia:** Guys! Th-The thing is--

**Porri:** Wait, everyone! Look at the sky!

The same as Capricorn... Is the weather device malfunctioning?

**Vega:** Everything else is going haywire too. Lights are disappearing at the floating jellyfish are falling!

**Toni:** It can't be... Estel, stop!

**Thia:** What's wrong, Toni?

**Toni:** **Tokimeki** is reducing at a rapid rate! Estel is trying to gather Gemini's **Tokimeki** into Themis!

**Thia:** What?

**Estel:** Themis... You'll be fine. I'll definitely... Wake you up...

**Toni:** This is bad! Estel's inner **Toimeki** is drying up as well!

**Alcio:** Ugh... What power! Is **Tokimeki** doing all this? I can't get closer to Estel at all!

**Thia:** Estel! Stop! Do you think Themis would be happy to see you lose your life for her?

**Toni:** Thia, to the **Stage**! Even if we stop her now, we'll still need to deal with this crisis.

We need to replenish the **Tokimeki** as quickly as it's taken away!

**Thia:** Estel... Themis...!

All right, let's all head for the **Stage** together!

Hold on, Estel, Themis.... I won't let anyone's **Tokimeki** be extinguished anymore!
