1st Zenith - Visual

[There's a wicked cracking sound over the scrolls as a timberwolf goes flying into the sky and then is punted down by a yellow blur.]

And stay down! Honestly, get back home and there's some kind of monster trying to eat me.

[The scroll floats down to reveal a pretty teenage mare with orange hair in an elaborate dress which shimmers and burst off. Before anyone can state "augh naked", Ako hairflips and replaces her glasses.]

Oh good, there's my scroll.

[And she rolls it back up.]

Yeah. You look great though. Though a little thin. Have you even been eating?

Ah, o-of course I have! Really!

[Well, between working and the Games...]

You look a little tired. I'll bet you and Marvelous have been eating nothing but sugar lately.

[She can't help but laugh.]

I have, at least. It's... been a trying few days.

Well stopit. Precures are rainbows and sunshine, but that's not good for you.

Mou! Just because you're older doesn't mean you're the boss of me!

... [And Ako laughs.] Never change Nozomi.

[And Nozomi can't help but laugh.]

I'm glad you haven't changed, either...

...wh-where are you, anyway?

I'm in Ponyville. There's barely anypony here. Oh there I go falling into the speech patterns again.

Everyone's still at the Crystal Empire. I'm... heading back home, though.

I'll meet you at the train station. When do you think you'll arrive back? I might have enough time to get a snack.

About an hour or two? Give or take? I'm not sure how fast this is going...?

All right, that gives me a moment to clean up then. I'll see you at the station.

Okay, then...!

[And Nozomi's time is more or less on the dot as her train arrives about an hour later, the Cure looking around for "sister".]

[Ako is reading a magazine when she notices Nozomi get off the train. Hopping over, she poked her on the flank.]

Hey sis. Looks like we can see eye to eye now.

Yeep! [Nozomi jumps and spins to meet Ako and stares a bit more before she throws her forelegs around her in a hug.]

[Ako hugged back, giving her sister an affectionate nuzzle.] Back, and I'm not going anywhere anymore. I'm finally back.

I'm glad to hear that, Ako. I'm so glad...!

Aww you're getting teary. [She pats Nozomi's back.] C'mon lets go sit down for a while.

I'm sorry... it's just that you left with Ellen and I didn't think I'd see you again. I'd figured you'd be having so much fun with all of the others...! I'm...

...I'm being silly, aren't I?

[As she says that, she heads over to a bench and sits down, wiping away a stray tear.]

No, no you're not. Believe me it wasn't all fun, I was acting like a spoiled child again. Or maybe just a brat. I couldn't cope with the stress and knowing there was another like me going through the same thing, I sort of just passed up trying to be a nice girl for a while.

Didn't help. It took some doing to really deal with everything.

Really...? What happened out there then?

Life happened. I wasn't able to cope so I lashed out for a while. Tried to get strong under my own merits and for the wrong reason. It took meeting a normal girl named Ayumi Sakagami to really show me that I was being selfish. After that, I trained my younger self.

Oh, Ako...

[And she's quick to hug her again.] I'm sorry...

I'm fine, really! I'm better now, and I don't have has many scars as I used to. Well, scars being mental at least...
