## Plot

Alex suggests taking a day off to forget about their Guardian responsibilities. However, Axel wants him to tell them about the Queen and Yumeka wants him to tell them about Nightmare. Even though it is about the Guardians, Alex tells them the Queen prophecy: "There is going to be a Dark Queen. The Queen is a Guardian, really powerful, not from the past, has light eyes, is really cheerful and is connected to astronomy." Everyone immediately assumes that Mizuki is the one the prophecy is talking about but Alex does not believe it, as it is "too easy". There is still a chance Mizuki IS the Queen, however. Miyuki gets curious about Nightmare and asks Alex what Yume was talking about. Alex says that Nightmare Fuel was a Guardian once but, when all the other Guardians died, she created the new Guardians. They find it weird and decide to actually take a break. Ayaka asks Miyuki and Mizuki if they want to go out, already knowing Miyu will say yes. Mizuki is up for it but Miyuki declines the offer as she just wants to relax. Mizuki is sad about this but decides to leave with Miyu and Ayaka anyway.

Miyuki goes up to Yuki, Alex and Axel and they welcome her. She admits that she wants to know more about them and asks where they're from; obviously, they say that they're from the future. Yuki jokes around saying that Alex might be the Queen and Axel joins in with the joke. Miyuki wonders where Yumeka is. The scene then cuts to Yumeka inside a cafe drinking tea with someone. Yumeka claps her hands and they find themselves in the Void. The unknown person asks when they can leave, and Yumeka claims that she doesn't know, as she doesn't really trust him.

Meanwhile, Mizuki, Ayaka and Miyu are at a park. Miyu suggests to Ayaka that she could grow a plant and Ayaka says she will do it later; Mizuki seems really sad, and so the others get worried. Mizuki admits that she is upset because she was separated from her sister and didn't want to go through that again. She wanted to be with her sister all the time after that. Ayaka tells Mizuki that she should accept it as it is Miyuki's choice -- and also adds that it's not the end of the world if she's away from her twin for a few hours. Miyu sees that Mizuki is still sad so she makes a bird give a flower to Mizuki. Ayaka also grows a rose but Mizuki says that she doesn't want it since she is already quite happy with Miyu's flower. Miyu also declines the rose and Ayaka suggests giving it to Yuki once they get back.

Back at the house, Miyuki asks Yuki if there's a chance she's the Queen, at which she says it's possible but believes that Mizuki has a stronger chance at being the Queen. Alex and Axel are watching a TV show and Yuki gets curious about it -- but Axel tells his brother not to say any spoilers. Yuki is disappointed. Miyuki is about to ask another question but Yuki gets distracted by Yumeka coming in. Yumeka says that she needs Yuki's help.
