## Synopsis

Bel, Ira, and Marmo are doing manzai for Regina, who wishes to be entertained. Finding their performance to be lackluster, Regina goes off to find Maya, whom interests her.

Meanwhile, Maya, Rachel, and Mackenzie are walking to school when Regina makes herself known and apologizes for the fight the other day, with Tiffany's Distain. She announces her intention of becoming Maya's friend, but this angers Mackenzie and she transforms into Glitter Spade to tell her off- saying that she is to blame for Splendorious' destruction. Regina points out that it was her father who did that, not her. Maya steps in and Spade de-transforms as she agrees to be her friend. This makes her furious and she storms off after reminding her that Regina is their enemy; she doesn't understand what Maya is thinking.

At school, Maya becomes upset that Mackenzie is ignoring her. Regina arrives and tries to convince Maya to skip class and play with her, but Maya manages to convince her to wait until school ends. Once it does, Rachel asks Maya to come with her to the student council room, but Regina leads Maya away before she can say anything.

With no other choice -and because Regina doesn't know the area- Maya decides to show her around town. They find themselves in a street full of trash and Maya can't ignore it, so she starts to pick it up to properly dispose of it. Regina decides to help Maya clean the street by creating a strong wind to blow away the trash, but this only scatters it across the street.

At Solitare, Rachel joins Clara to chat about what has been going on that day, and Clara begins to wonder why Regina wants to be her friend. It's then the two show up at the shop and Maya introduces Regina to Dina and offers to let her play with the baby pixie. Maya then asked Kippie to use the Glitter Charm, producing musical notes to play music for Dina to dance.

Not too long after, Regina quickly takes Maya along with her as Clara finishes preparing the tea she earlier requested, but before going Maya returns to ask the girls to deliver some omelette rice to Mackenzie.

Regina and Maya get ice cream at a shop, and Maya begins to tell Regina about Rachel, Clara, and Mackenzie's favorite ice cream flavors. This ends up annoying Regina and she tells Maya that she doesn't need them in her life anymore, because she is her friend now. Maya doesn't seem to get it, and this gives Regina the idea to erase the girls from Maya's life -an idea that worries Maya- as she takes off.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie is finishing a commercial filming as Rachel and Clara arrive to see her.

In this time, Regina confronts the girls and searches for someone to turn into a Distain. After seeing a man holding a box of refreshments, she forces him into one. Mackenzie, Rachel, and Clara transformed to fight against the Distain, and it attempts to force the girls to drink the refreshments, with Clover using Clover Reflection to protect the others. However, the projectiles were too strong, and the three girls are knocked down.

Maya arrives, and Regina tells her she was willing to do this for Maya's sake, and Maya must now return the fabor by cutting off her friendships with Spade and the others. Maya refuses, transforming into Glitter Heart. The Distain continues to attack Glitter Diamond and the others, and Regina tells Glitter Heart that her friends getting hurt is her fault.

The other girls say that they put themselves into the position of being Heart's friends, so facing hardships like this are nothing they weren't prepared for. The Glitter Force use Togetherness Power Arrow, purifying the Distain. Heart tells Regina she needs to understand the meaning of a true friend, and Regina disappears.

Mackenzie asks Maya if she still wants to become friends with Regina, and Maya claims she does, because she saw Regina smile. She does not believe she is purely evil.

Mackenzie says she'll never forgive Regina, even if she is Maya's friend; she goes on to explain that these are her true feelings, and true friends are honest with one-another. Maya worries until Mackenzie tells her she made too much omelette rice, and asks for her to eat it with her.

At the base, Regina contemplates what a true friend is while eating her ice cream.
