## Summary

Hope Tanaka is enjoying her autumn semester off from school as she introduces herself. Today, she is getting ready for the annual Moselle City Culture Festival in which she will be participating to celebrate her German culture. She gets ready to leave and finds her old shirt and bellbottoms from high school and remembers the last time she regularly wore them.

A flashback starts, Hope is running up to a woman, Danielle Enomoto, next door, she hands her a sheep keyring. "This is to say thank you for being a really good neighbor to me these last few years. Now you'll have the American shepherdess wherever you go." She thanks her. As the moving van begins to drive off, Hope runs after it shouting and waving goodbye to Danielle, hoping that she can someday visit her in England.

We then go back to the present day, where Hope looks at it again and remembers it as that day she lost her friend because of a move. Hope then takes her backpack, her things and her dirndl with her and heads out wearing a pendant given to her by Danielle. Hope boards the train to Moselle City and looks out the window wondering about Danielle and her sister Jodie Enomoto. She begins remembering the good times she had with them both and all the adventures they had in Moselle City and Appleton.

At the cultural festival, Hope happily walks down the festival checking out all of the German exhibits and cultural areas.

Hope smiles, knowing that this is getting her over her sadness. As Hope begins her souvenir shopping, her pendant begins to glow. Meanwhile, Danielle and Jodie are fighting off monsters in a city, but with no avail they keep multiplying. Because of this it causes a rift in the world. Hope is sent through a portal to a new gaming world. There she meets Artemis, goddess of the gaming world. Hope reveals that she hasn't picked up her 3D Portable in years because she lost interest but Artemis reveals that this is simply not the case. She is called because two old friends need her help desperately defeating some monsters from the Terror Syndicate, as they were called in the Fortnite world to help fight them but sadly they aren't able to fight them just the two of them.

Hope's pendant changes into the Shepherdess Pendant, and is asked to say the words "Shepherdess Dream" to transform. Hope does that and becomes a shepherdess in a flash and she transports to the Fortnite world. It is revealed that Danielle and Jodie are fighting off monsters from a mysterious enemy, from the Pervertio Army who wants nothing more but to rob women of their beauty and large breasts (Danielle being a target). Suddenly, out of nowhere a blast appears. From the distance a figure appears. Hope then introduces herself and figures out her name while in this world, the Shepherdess Dreamer. Jodie is the first that discovers Hope and her identity, meanwhile in the real world a man sees this and asks if this is the same Hope from his sister's days in America.

Hope fights the monsters one by one with her new weapon, her shepherd's crook. Proving that she is more than just a shepherdess and unleashes Shepherdess Shining for the first time. After all of the foot soldiers and monsters disappear the enemy disappears. Danielle thanks the mysterious shepherdess for saving her and tells her she reminds her of an old friend in America she used to be neighbors with. Hope then curtsies and thanks her and asks her if she remembers her from America. Danielle takes out the charm that Hope made for her and then realizes that the shepherdess that saved her is actually Hope. This results in Danielle pushing her sister out of the way and giving her a big bear hug and asks her how she has been and insists that she must catch up.

A voice then comes through the communicator, saying it might be an enemy. "Wow, a walkie talkie?! Who are you? Do you know Dan and Jo?! What's your relationship with them?!" The voice reveals himself to be Dean Enomoto, who controls the portals for Danielle and Jodie, Hope realizes then it has to be their little brother from their stories about the monk. Dean is then shocked that Jodie would even tell anyone about him being a monk in the Himalayas.

Hope's pendant flashes telling her that she will soon change back, and she changes back into her dirndl in front of Danielle and Jodie, Danielle is happy that the pendant she gave her is put to good use and Hope asks how she can return to Moselle City for the cultural festival. Danielle casts a spell that opens a portal to Moselle City. Hope promises to come back and fight along side them and goes back to Moselle City with happiness in her heart.

Back in Manchester, Dean begins to research Hope and her gaming file and wonders how someone like her can obtain the Shepherdess Pendant and be able to transform...
