"Once upon a time, or rather, just a little while ago. Well, maybe it was just a little bit in the future. In some city on some Earth in some universe, there was a girl.

The girl's name is Momo. She was the only daughter of a pet shop in a certain town. Although she was the only daughter, she had heard from her parents that she had an older sister with the same name as her who had been in a traffic accident before she was born.

Momo grew up surrounded by three pets named Sindbook, Pipiru, and Mocha, who never seemed to age. On her 12th birthday, Momo remembered her older sister who had gone missing in a traffic accident, but no one else seemed to mention it. However, Momo doesn't care about such things. After all, she is just a normal, energetic girl like any other.

She is more focused on enjoying the present than being interested in events before she was born. Look, Momo has returned home.

"How many people did you fight with today?"

"6 people... because those boys were bullying the girls."

"So, did you win or lose?"

"Of course, I won."

"You're a naughty child. Go take a bath and change your clothes quickly." Mom smiled as she watched Momo leave the living room. "Momo's fights this year, 59 wins and 59 losses. Hmm, not bad. Am I a bad mom?" Mom stuck out her tongue.

Scrub, scrub, splash, splash. Momo is also a girl after all. She loves taking baths. She takes good care of her hair carefully... When she puts on her favorite headband, the tomboy covered in mud transforms into a little lady.

"Wow, is this for me? Thanks, Dad." Momo said, kissing her father with shining eyes. Her father had given her a camera as a birthday present. This camera had been capturing moments of Momo for 12 years. "Until now, we have been taking pictures of you as memories, but from now on, capture what you see and want to remember," Dad said.

And one day, out of the blue... "To London? Moving?" Papa was invited to do research in zoology at a university in London.

"I've been traveling around the world for a long time studying animal diseases, and I feel like it's time to settle down and prioritize family." Papa and Mama look at each other.

"But, doesn't people speak English in the UK?"

Mom and Dad gazed at each other.

"Of course, England is English." Oh no! Momo and Mom can't speak English.

"Where there's a will, there's a way! Momo, you'll start studying from tomorrow!" Mom is fired up with determination. "This is turning into a big deal!"

"No way! I don't want to leave!" On the day of departure, Momo, Papa, and Mama are going to London by plane, but the three animals were separated from them....To put animals on a plane, there are complicated procedures, so the three companions are put on a ship that takes 2 months to get to London.

Momo and the three animals had never been apart for such a long time. "Poor Momo..." In the dreamland of Fenarinarsa, the king and queen couldn't help but cry. They had been silently watching over Momo from the dreamland for a long time. You see, Momo was actually an important person who had come to Earth to bring dreams long ago, but had passed away in a traffic accident. The magical princess, Minky Momo, had been reborn as a human on Earth.

Of course, Momo doesn't remember anything before being born as a human. She can't use magic or talk to her animal companions. It's normal for humans. But even though they couldn't understand each other, Momo and the three of them were friends. The truck with the three of them on it started running towards the harbor, leaving Momo behind.

"A two-month boat trip is tough, isn't it? Even though we're traveling, us animals live in cages."

"Oh no, oh no, a prison beauty... And the sea breeze is the enemy of my beauty." said Pipiru

The three ran away from the truck that had arrived at the port.

"We might not make it back to town now."

"In that case, the airport... we must go."

When the three animals arrived at the airport, the "Flight to London" was about to take off.

"Oh no, hurry!"

The three animals ran onto the runway and clung to the tail of the plane.

Momo, who had no way of knowing such things, parted ways with the three and felt a fluttering sensation. But when the airplane emerged above the clouds, and the endless blue sky spread outside the window, her feelings seemed to turn a happy pink, like her hair. Originally, Momo was not one to fret. Sorry, but she couldn't help but let thoughts of the three enter her heart a little..."
