Mahoge Chapter 2: Blooming Sakura and Thundering Sumire!

As Salvia and Mazu kept sitting in the Principal’s office, the tension in the room started to thicken. Sectonia took another breath.

“As much as it pains me to rely on you two and reveal my secrets, I’m afraid I have no choice.”

Sectonia magically transformed into her Magical Queen form.

Salvia and Mazu’s eyes widened.

“Kakkoii,” Salvia whispered.

“There is a threat on the horizon,” Sectonia informed them. “Giygas is planning to take over the world, and I need you two to join the efforts in defeating him. You two will be given magical powers, and I would HOPE you two will be responsible with them?”

“Eh?!” Salvia shouted. “We’re going to be Mahou Shojo desu ka?!”

“What’s in it for us?” Mazu spat.

“Well,” Sectonia answered. “I will be sending you girls out on missions. You will get excused absences from classes, if a mission requires it. Each mission you complete will earn you one graduation credit.”

“Just one?” Mazu scoffed.

“IF you wish to get this over with sooner,” Sectonia interrupted. “You can also start working at Cafe Pink Bnnuy, which is acting as a front for my Magical Girl operation.”

“Working?!” Mazu protested. “Working is for poor people!”

“DO YOU WANT TO GO TO PROM OR NOT?!” Sectonia snapped.

“Hai,” Salvia answered meekly.

“Then, let me continue speaking,” Sectonia commanded. “You will earn 1 graduation credit for every hour you work at Cafe Pink Bnnuy.”

“Ugh, fine,” Mazu groaned. “We’ll work at your dumb Cafe!”

“Good,” Sectonia smiled, getting the pink and purple wands out. “I am hoping this will build character in both of you. Now…Kneel before me.”

Salvia and Mazu reluctantly took a knee.

Queen Sectonia knighted Mazu with the pink magic wand, and knighted Salvia with the purple magic wand.

“As the Queen of Floralia, I knight thee as Ama Sakura and Ama Sumire!”

Mazu and Salvia could feel themselves becoming powerful.

“And if you two don’t clean up your act…” Sectonia threatened. “I will not hesitate to strip you of your powers, expel you, and have you tried for Treason in Floralia.

The next bell rang, so Salvia and Mazu scurried out of the office.

“Sectonia’s scarier than I thought,” Mazu admitted.

“Hai,” Salvia agreed. “Maybe Meta Knaito-kyo is married to her because she forced him to marry her.”

“I doubt that,” a voice responded. It was Jewel! And Annie was with her!

“Mind your own beeswax, little miss perfect,” Mazu spat.

“Hai,” Salvia jumped in. “Meta Knaito-kyo will be mine, desu! Just you wait!”

Jewel noticed the magic wands sticking out of their purses and sighed.

“I suppose we’ll be working together then?” Annie grimaced.

“What are you, like, talking about?” Mazu asked.

“Did you really think Queen Sectonia would leave the fate of the world in the hands of JUST you two?” Jewel sassed, discreetly showing the two her magical wand.

Salvia and Mazu looked at the wand, and then at each other, and then back at Jewel and Annie.

“Anata wa…are Ama Senshi too desu ka?” Salvia asked.

“I am,” Jewel answered. “Annie is my Dream Knight.”

“Dream Knight?” Mazu asked curiously.

“We’ll explain later at the Cafe,” Annie told them. “We have a free period, so we’re heading there now.”

“You two WILL be showing up to your shift, yes?” Jewel threatened.

“Hai,” Salvia answered.

“We’ll be there,” Mazu stated meekly.

“And try to hide your wands a bit better, will you?” Jewel told them before leaving with Annie.

Annie rubbed Jewel’s shoulder as the two walked away. Jewel smiled at Annie and tilted her head up to give her a kiss before the two walked out to Jewel’s white Porsche convertible arm and arm.

“Why is every royal from Dreamland’s Alliance so threatening desu ka?” Salvia muttered as she and Mazu started walking.

“Whatever,” Mazu spat. “Let’s just skip class and go shopping before our first day of working like poor people!”

“Retail Therapy is the best, desu!” Salvia shouted excitedly as she and Mazu got into Mazu’s pink Tesla and drove off.

Back in the Principal’s office, Sectonia was looking pensively at the remaining magic wands and charms. In total, the match set had nine of each. Each wand and charm were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, silver, and white. The charms that remained at the moment were red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink, and the wands that remained at the moment were yellow and green.

Queen Sectonia started weighing her options…

Back at Cafe Pink Bnnuy, Jewel and Annie showed up for their shift.

Kita’s eyes widened when she saw the two walk in. She was about to bow when Annie interrupted her.

“Sectonia asked us to help you out,” Annie told her.

“Pardon?” Kita asked.

“We’re getting paid in community service hours,” Jewel chirped.

Kita sighed in relief.

“Thank you, ladies,” she said before turning to some of the adults. “You all are free to go now. Thank you for your help.”

The adults started to fizzle out of the place one by one. The only one who stayed behind was Duster.

Kita kissed Duster's cheek before leading Jewel and Annie to the back.

“Thank you for staying, sugar dumpling. It means a lot to me.”

“Aww, shucks,” Duster chuckled, blushing. “You know I’m always happy to stay and help.”

Duster wrapped his arms around Kita and kissed the top of her head.

“And thank you both again for your assistance,” Kita told Jewel and Annie. “We've been a bit short-handed you see,”

Kita winked at the lesbian couple

“I figured,” Annie answered. “The previous employees are far too old to keep working. Andbesides, they deserve a break for everything they did.”

Jewel nodded in agreement.

“Did Salvia and Mazu show up for their shift yet?” She asked.

Kita rolled her eyes at the mention of those two.

“Those two? Of all the young ones she could have knighted she picked the most rotten ones from the bottom of the barrel?” Kita couldn't help but sigh dramatically. “Poor thing must be at her wits end if she's this desperate…”

“Trust me,” Jewel rolled her eyes. “We’ve seen her office lately. She IS desperate.”

Kita shook her head.

“Still…I know there are better options she could have chosen. Take Rosella and Nana for example. Those two little dumplings would have been a perfect fit!”

“I wonder if the two remaining wands are for them,” Annie pointed out.

Jewel’s eyes widened.

“They could be,” Jewel stated hopefully. “Queen Sectonia did say they were on the list of possible Ama Senshi.”

Kita dug into a nearby closet before pulling out two white maid outfits, two pairs of pink bunny ears, and two clip-on pink bunny tails as she spoke again.

“I could only hope so…In any case, we still have work to do ladies! So let's put our heels to use, and get things done!”

“Right,” Jewel and Annie shouted in unison as they went into the changing room to change into their maid outfits.

While they were in the changing room, Jewel and Annie were helping each other get into their maid outfits.

“Can you get my hair out of the way, love?” Annie asked Jewel, who immediately lifted Annie’s ponytail out of the way. “Thanks, hun.”

Jewel couldn’t help but admire how her girlfriend looked in her maid outfit. Something about a buff lady in a maid outfit was making her feel some kind of way.

“You look amazing,” Jewel whispered, letting go of Annie’s ponytail.

“So do you,” Annie replied, beaming at her lover.

Annie helped Jewel tuck her wand in her apron pocket. This was required for all the on-duty Ama Senshi during their cafe shifts. One can never be too sure when and where an evil alien attack will occur.

Jewel and Annie both stepped out of the changing room, all dressed and ready to work.

“Wow, you both look great,” Duster said.

“Like two pieces of perfectly baked pie,” Kita agreed.

“Thank you,” Jewel blushed.

“Sounds like we already have customers,” Annie pointed out, turning her head to get a good look at the front door.

Jewel nodded and followed Annie out to the front.

“Welcome to Cafe Pink Bnnuy,” Jewel greeted. “Table for two?”

Meanwhile, Salvia and Mazu were at the mall.

“So how do I look?” Mazu asked, wearing the skimpiest dress in the most expensive dress shop.

“Kire Kawaii desuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,” Salvia screeched excitedly.

The poor woman working the changing rooms had to listen to these two yap. She’s had numerous encounters with them, but she couldn’t really complain too much. They WERE this store’s best customers.

But as the lady kept standing there, she started to feel something dark and evil grow inside of her.

“What is this…power?” She muttered, feeling herself get dizzy.

Soon, she was surrounded by a black and red cloud, and she started to transform into a big scary alien.

Customers started screaming and running away in terror.

The alien started to attack!

Salvia and Mazu both heard the ruckus and ran out of the store.

“Hey, you forgot to p—AAAAAAAAAH!” The cashier screamed as one of the alien’s tentacles grabbed her.

Another tentacle pressed against the lady’s head, this turning her into the same exact alien creature as the first one.

Back at school, the final bell had just rang. Students were pouring out of their classrooms.

Ness, Paula, Jeff, Tony, Poo, and Nara were all walking together.
“Looks like we have our work cut out for us,” Tony sighed, clinging onto Jeff’s arm. “Still, I don’t know why I was selected to help in the technology department. You’re the tech genius, not me.”

“That may be so, my dear, but I know you will be of tremendous help regardless,” Jeff assured him. “And I would be honored to help you along the way and teach you all you need to know.”

“Thanks babe,” Tony beamed at Jeff.

“Look at it this way,” Ness told them. “Sectonia is trusting us with this, and we should be honored.”

“Ness is right,” Paula agreed. “But we also have an obligation to take this seriously and do our part with the utmost of class.”

“Spoken like a true Ama Senshi,” Nara smiled.

“I can’t wait to fight evil with you,” Paula giggled, hugging Nara.

“Hi guys,” a voice chirped. It was Tracy! She ran towards Ness and jumped into his arms.

“Hey, Tracy,” Ness smiled, catching his little sister and holding onto her. “Ready to go home?”

“Yep,” Tracy answered.

Ness set her back down and looked at Paula.

“Ready?” He asked her.

Paula blushes and nods.

Ness takes her by the hand and the three walk out to Ness’s Honda Civic. Tracy got in the back and Paula got in the front while Ness got in the driver’s seat. The three of them put on their seatbelts and Ness drove off.

Poo and Nara had already snuck off to the floating limousine from the first chapter.

Jeff and Tony were the last two from that friend group to leave. They made their way to Tony’s green Volkswagen Buggy, and Tony drove off.

Nana, Rosella, and Angie were meanwhile about to hang out and watch Lucas, Claus, and Fuel try out for the football team.

“Punch buggy green, no punch backs,” Angie shouted, playfully punching Nana and Rosella in the arms as Jeff and Tony drove past them.

“Ow,” Rosella yelped.

“Can you at least punch a bit lighter?” Nana asked.

“Sorry about that,” Angie sighed. “You okay, Rose?”

Rosella smiled and nodded.

“No worries,” she chirped. “It’s all part of the game, right?”

The three sophomores were suddenly interrupted when Sectonia’s voice rang through the school speaker system.

“Rosella Thornson and Nana Cerulean, please come to the principal’s office! I repeat! Rosella Thornson and Nana Cerulean, please come to the principal’s office!”

Rosella felt her heart drop.

“Am I in trouble?” She asked nervously.

“I doubt it,” Angie answered. “You’re the biggest goody-two-shoes I know.”

“Yeah,” Nana answered. “Getting called to the office doesn’t mean you’re in trouble. It could be a good thing. Maybe Sectonia wants to say she’s proud of you for the hard work you put in last year. But then why would I get called too? Maybe—”

“Hey, I’m just gonna head to the football field now,” Angie interrupted. “I’ll see you guys when you’re done with your meeting.”

“See you there, Angie,” Rosella chirped.

“Later, bestie,” Nana added as she dragged Rosella to Sectonia’s office.

Back with Salvia and Mazu, they were running for their lives!

They kept screaming and rushing towards Mazu’s pink Tesla.

Mazu got into the driver’s seat.

“Come on, come on,” She shouted at Salvia. “We have to go! Now!”

“I’m trying,” Salvia whined. “Demo watashi can’t run in heels, imasu!”

But by the time Salvia got into the Tesla, it exploded!

Salvia and Mazu were sent flying out of the car and face first into the pavement.

That’s when their wands started glowing.

“That was a gift from my mother,” Mazu roared, firmly grasping her wand and holding it up. “NOW YOU’LL PAY!”

“Hai,” Salvia shouted, holding up her wand as well. “Now we don’t have a sugoi kawaii desu ride to school because of you two!”

With their newfound power flowing inside of them, they started to transform.

“AMA POWER! SAKURA HENSHIN,” Mazu shouted.

“AMA POWER! SUMIRE HENSHIN DESUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU,” Salvia shouted.

Mazu’s hair turned from a pastel pink to a neon pink. She grew cat ears and tail, and her skimpy dress turned into a pink Magical Girl dress. A collar with a bell appeared around her neck.

Salvia’s hair, on the other hand, turned spiky. She grew fox ears and a tail, and her crop top and miniskirt turned into a skimpy purple dress that showed off her curves with a slit on the side. A spiked collar appeared around her neck.

The aliens took a step back, once they saw them transformed.

“Ama Senshi?!” One shouted.

“Curses,” The other replied. “Lord Giygas said that the Ama Senshi no longer existed!”

“Well, he’s wrong,” Mazu spat.

Salvia and Mazu started charging up their attacks.

“CHERRY SPARKLE!”

“VIOLET STORM DESU!”

A mix of glitter, thunder, and lightning traversed the sky above, crashing down on the aliens and defeating them! As they left the bodies of the two dress shop workers, Salvia and Mazu blew them to smithereens!

The two ladies collapsed onto the ground, and were now unconscious.

Salvia and Mazu looked at the ladies and then at each other.

“Now what do we do, desu ka?” Salvia asked Mazu.

Mazu grabbed a wad of cash out of her purse and threw it at the ladies.

“Keep the change, thanks bye.”

Mazu and Salvia transformed back to their civilian forms and started to leave.

“Chotto matte,” Salvia shouted, holding Mazu’s arm.

“What?” Mazu asked.

“Anata wa Tesla is broken, desu…Now how are we going to get to work, desu ka?”

“Ugh, that’s right,” Mazu groaned. “We have to work like poor people soon.”

That’s when Mazu got her phone out and smirked.

“Leave it to me.” Mazu then started crying like a bitch. “Mom! My car got totally wrecked! I need a ride from the mall to the cafe!”

“Aww, of course, sweetie,” Shavi answered. “I’ll have our driver come pick you up right now. What kind of car do you want this time?”

“A pink Mercedes,” Mazu answered.

“Nothing but the best for my darling princess,” Shavi cooed, hanging up the phone.

Nara, who happened to have just gotten home from school, heard that. But she was happy. Too happy for her mother’s liking.

“And what are YOU smiling about,” Shavi asked her, raising a brow.

“It’s nothing,” Nara lied, making her way up to her room.

Back at Cafe Pink Bnnuy, Jewel and Annie were in the break room, sharing a milkshake. Business was slow at the moment, so they kinda just took the time to enjoy each other's company. And yet Salvia and Mazu were nowhere to be found.

“They’re STILL not here?” Jewel scoffed, rolling her eyes.

“Not that we really need them,” Annie responded. “We’ve been doing just fine without them.”

“True,” Jewel sighed. “Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just flaked. Just like they do with their classes.”

That’s when Salvia and Mazu walked in.

“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!” Kita shouted.

“Calm down,” Mazu scoffed. “We can explain!”

“Hai,” Salvia butted in. “Mazu-chan and watashi were at the mall when her car broke down and—”

“AT THE MALL?!” Kita roared. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE ‘aT tHe mALL’?! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT YOU LAZY SPOILED NO GOOD OVER RIPPED PRINCESSES WERE AT THE MALL WHEN THE BOTH OF YOU KNEW FULL WELL THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE ON TIME???!!!!”

Jewel and Annie just kept sharing their milkshake like nothing was happening as they watched Salvia and Mazu kept getting ripped to shreds by Kita.

Duster was surprisingly attracted to Kita's reasonable crashout.

“Good work today, everyone,” a voice suddenly told them. It was Sectonia! And Meta Knight was with her!

Everyone except Mazu and Salvia stopped what they were doing and bowed.

“There’s no need for that,” Sectonia chuckled, motioning for her loyal allies to stand up. “Business at the cafe is seemingly going well.”

“You know me, your highness,” Kita said with a wink. “Always making sure the place keeps hopping!”

Sectonia chuckled.

“You are a treat to work with, as always,” she smiled, turning her attention to Salvia and Mazu. “And congratulations to Salvia and Mazu for defeating two of Giygas’s alien army. You each get a graduation credit.”

“So THAT’S why we’re stuck with them,” Jewel whispered to Annie.

“Shh~” Annie squeezed Jewel’s hand a bit.

Jewel decided to keep the rest of her choice words to herself.

Things seemed to be going okay so far. Though not a lot of people LIKED working with Mazu and Salvia, they did prove their worth that day. Maybe in time they could reach some kind of potential and build character like Sectonia had hoped.

But with the dinner crowd pouring in, Kita, Duster, Annie, Jewel, Mazu, and Salvia got straight back to work.
