She lured out the person with pretenting to be lost and suprised Risurun from behind. Risurun cried and Maki apologised her and brought her home. Risurun told Maki to take her to her friends, which she is clueless about.

Maki brought Risurun to Izumi the next day, hoping she would know something about the strange squirrel. When she arrived at Izumi's pet shop, Bearun was the first to jump out and hugged Risurun. Izumi showed up and explained things to Maki about Bearun and the other mascots. Risurun jumped on the table, declaring Maki is her partner, which shocked Maki.

Izumi called the Cures, they rushed to Izumi's place and Risurun immediately jumped to Korun as she was too happy to see him for awhile. The girls talked with Maki, but Ran and Izumi can understand why Maki can't become a Pretty Cure, not wanting to force her, the girls changed the subject about Ran and Izumi's new friends, Yumi and Sora. The girls went home, Risurun followed Korun to Yumi's house, but was dissaponited that Maki did not choose to become a Pretty Cure. Korun comfort her and cheered her up. But Risurun still don't want to give up Maki, that night she kept on thinking how to make Maki her partner.
