In the new City

"No, it's my fault...I wasn't looking where I was going," I said.

The girl looked like as if she was a magazine cover-page model. Her clothes seemed to be the most fashionable ones.

"Are you new here?" the stranger asked.
"Yes," I answered.
"Well, why don't I show you guys around? My name is Hikari and I am a designer."

"Wow, a designer!" Asuka shrieked.

"Can you? Thank you so much," I thanked the stylish girl.

We followed Hikari throughout the city. She showed us the best coffeeshops...the best clothes stores...the best restaurants...and even the best pet shops. The city was filled with life and lights.

"Our Mayor is a very fashion-oriented person. She believes that one can enhance their personality if they focus on what they wear," she explained.

"Wow, that's deep..." Asuka joked. Hotaru bumped her with her arm.

Hikari abruptly stopped. She turned around and faced us,"Do you want to see the wishing fountain?"

"Yes, we would love too," I clasped my hands in joy.

She took us further inside the bustling city till we reached a large mesmerizing fountain. We went closer and looked into the fountain. We could see our reflections clearly in the pure water.

"The mayor built this fountain. It is said that on a full moon night, when the water reflects the light of the moon...if you make a wish, it will come true. And guess what? Today is a full moon night.

She was right.

The moon was round and looked beautiful.

I took out a coin and tossed it into the water. "I wish that we could get the powers to defeat Kiyomi."

"Kiyomi...you mean the dark witch, Kiyomi?" Hikari looked surprised.

"Yes, the Queen Fairy gave us the task to defeat her."
"The Queen Fairy?!"
"Yeah...but first we have to find the Four Great Witches...Tsukiko, Hokuto, Sorano and Mizuki."

"We came to Sicilia Federation in order to search for some clue as to where to find them," Hotaru explained to her.

"I see...," Hikari said. Then a smile crept on her lips.

"I have a plan," she said. "Why don't you come with me to my fashion show tomorrow?"

"Fashion show?" All three of us asked at the same time.

"Yeah...with all this 'defeat the dark witch' thing, you must be exhausted. You guys need some break!" the designer smiled. We wondered for some time.

"Well, we can use some break, right?" Hotaru asked, embarrassed.
"Yeah! Let's take a break!" Asuka said, pumped up.

"Thank you for inviting us, Hikari." Hikari smiled at me.

So, the next day, we were going to take a break from our hectic journey and visit the fashion show organized by Hikari. But why did Hikari invite us all of a sudden? What is her motive behind it?
