### Before series

### Meeting Yumi again and becoming Cure Glide

On the day the Inoue family needed to go back to Happy Town, Sora met Pengurun, a penguin-like mascot, she fell in love with him because she really like birds, especially penguins. Pengurun explained to her about the Dark Party, his friends and how Joy Kingdom had been turned into Sadness Kingdom by the Dark Party, however, she is still confused about what Pengurun told her.

When she sees Yumi, they reunited by a hug. Korun, Pengurun and Yumi tried to explain to Sora about Joy Kingdom, Dark Party and Pretty Cure. She finally gets the gist of the story but is still not sure about becoming a Cure or not. Korun told her that if she would want to become a Pretty Cure, she needs to have the passion to protect something or someone. The girls left the mascots alone and went off together.

They talked about the past and Yumi told her how she became a Pretty Cure. Sora would like to help Yumi with Pretty Cure and it is obvivous to her that she wanted to protect her and her family from the Dark Party. Yumi said to keep that feeling when they begin their attacks, that way Sora can also become a Pretty Cure.

Korun and Pengurun sensed the Dark Party and went to find Yumi and Sora. Zero showed up in front of the girls with his Kanashii. Yumi told Sora to go to a safe place and Yumi transformed into Cure Snowy. The fight between Snowy and Kanashii goes on, the Kanashii suddenly turns back and fires its attack at Sora. Snowy took the attack for Sora and got injured, the Kanashii caught Snowy and started to squeeze her. Sora felt that she needed to save Snowy. Her strong feelings of wanting to save her friend reached Pengurun. He gave her Cure Glide Card and turned himself into the PrePhone so that she can transform.

After she transformed into Cure Glide, she was very surprised. She did not know how to use her powers but Pengurun guided her. With the information Pengurun gave her, she quickly saves Snowy. Glide created a shield of wind around Snowy then she went and fought the Kanashii. Snowy told Glide to transfer her powers into the PrePhone, and received an attack card - the Air Blast Card which she used it to purify the Kanashii.
