Friendship is a Miracle!

**Friendship is a Miracle!** (友達は奇跡です, *Friends are a Miracle*?) is the 49th episode of Season 16 and the (TBA) episode of the *Guardians of Harmony* series overall.

## Summary

*Everycreature needs a break from fighting evil, right? Well, now that Melody's friends got Stage 3, it's time for a party! The only thing is... why is the holoCouncil there too?*

## Plot

In Blake's old home, as everyone and their Pokémon wakes up, Melissa is already up making breakfast for the others. Katy is too tired and rolls off her bed, causing her to nearly crush Milly and Glossy (her Eldegoss), much to their annoyance, though Sky and Mason tell her to get up, and Kylie gets up slowly to avoid triggering another bout of pain. The smell of pancakes immediately causes Holly, Kyubey, and Syren to get excited, however, and they rush to the kitchen, nearly knocking over Melody. Melody groans and snarkily yells at them that they could be "less of a Tauros in a glass shop," though they don't listen. However, they only shut up when Melissa threatens to not give the three of them any pancakes - or, even worse for Kyubey, no syrup on her pancakes. The others come to the table and take their seats, and as they have their breakfast, Melody pipes up wondering why she has two-toned hair but Katy and Sky didn't before Stage 3, and Evelyn is staring into space and admiring a picture frame from the 21st century of her father and all his friends and family happy together. When she gets asked by Chiffon what she is doing, she pretends she isn't, though Sky guesses she is probably thinking of her father and the past heroes. However, Melody then suggests the idea of throwing a party to celebrate her friends gaining Stage 3, which Holly and Syren eagerly agree too, and they start jumping up and down in excitement, though Melody and Melissa have to stop them from getting too elated.

A little later, Melissa, Evelyn, and Holly cook the food while Katy, Sky, Mason, and Chiffon set up the decorations and Kylie calls the guests to invite them. Syren asks who they are, and Kylie is about to answer, only for Melody to cut her off in order to keep it a surprise. When the two call Melody "mean," the three of them get into a fight and start to beat each other up. Katy gets extremely furious and quickly stops them from fighting, however. At that moment, the doorbell rings and the holoCouncil and Cynthia arrive, though Syren complains that their Equestrian friends aren't there. Katy just facepalms at the complaint.

Later, Melody decides to reveal a secret she kept to herself ever since she met Katy: she was the one who taught her how to sing. She tethat when Katy was 6, every night, she would try to teach her how to sing by telling her how to sing (not believing her singing would help and believing that it would just lull her to sleep), but realized that she had to actually show her how to sing. Thus, after a 14 year-old Melissa read a bedtime story to Katy, Melody started to sing a magical lullaby that made it sound even more beautiful than normal and could be heard through the streets of Wyndon, but instead of falling asleep, Katy started to sing along and soon started singing herself, and Melody began teaching her other songs as well. Right after Melody and Katy finish telling the story, Balez interuppts and tells everyone that she has bad news about what's happening in Yumesora. Evelyn gets her Berserk Button suddenly pressed, but Melody quickly stops her by bribing a cookie in her mouth, causing Katy and Sky to facepalm at the silly behavior. Once everyone is back on track, Balez reveals that because the Dream and Celestial Stones have been wielded by different people for a very long time, the RA and the SS are starting to become drained of their magical power. Melody immedially snaps, though Syren actually stops her from going too far despite usually being immature. Suddenly, the Dimensional Scream occurs for the young Miko, and she sees a vision of Cynthia making a wish that destroys the Multiverse and recreates it. She shudders at the vision, though once it ends, she decides to not tell the others about it in order to not worry them.

The Guardians ask what they can do to restore the Rainbow Angels' and Seraphim Sextet's powers, and start to get worried, although Cynthia suggests that they not dwell on it right now and focus on enjoying their day. Despite the suggestion, they continue to keep the thought at the back of their minds, though they distract themselves with positive thoughts, and Syren distracts herself from the terrifying vision of what is to come by playing with her dolls and giving them scaled-down superpowers to fight each other. Sky wonders how they're going to achieve the next step of gaining Stage 4, and Melody says that they have to bring others together in unity, such as helping individuals reconcile with each other, uniting groups, etc. While Evelyn wants to do it right now, Chiffon says they'll cross that bridge when they get there, and Katy agrees. The Guardians then agree that whatever challenge faces them, they will face it together. With that, they enjoy their party the rest of the day.

That evening, after the party, the Guardians retreat to bed, though they are still worried about the situation in Yumesora. While Katy is happy that they're now more powerful which would make it easier, they are still unsure if they will be able to handle it. As the episode ends, however, Melody starts to feel a a bit uneasy as she climbs into bed.
