As Akari woke up to a new day, the sun reflected on her bed. A warm, bright sunday, aren't we?
"*Yawn..* What date is it today.."
As she looked at the date.. it was June 1st. Which means.. it's Pride Month.
"Oh wow, looks like I'll get ready for the Pride Festival later."
She then got out of bed, wearing her frog slippers and headed straight to the bathroom to get herself ready.
Breakfast time came, she went downstairs to greet her parents and her older brother.
"Morning guys, and you, Guren."
"Hey Akari, I made the usual. Milo mixed with Pancakes!"
"Thanks dad."
"Say Akari, where are you going at this time here in Norrisville?"
"I'm going to a Parade that I'm assigned to my art club! It's the start of June after all."
"Oh that.. ugh, gay people make me sick you know? Just don't attend that stupid event and stay home you asshat."
"Guren! You can't just act like that, she's your sister after all."
Guren shrugged it off, being the usual dick he is to our family.
"Anyway, are you gonna go now sweetie?"
"Yep! See you guys later!"
As she left the house, Daffodil then went onto her shoulder.
"What's Pride Month-daffo?"
"Pride Month is where we celebrate our identity and love for each other, whether you're Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Aroace, or anything that goes with your sexuality! You get to be yourself for this event."
"Woah~! That sounds like fun-daffo."
"I know right? And the best part is, you get to be with the people who don't judge you for who you are!"
A while later..
Kokoro, Ruka, and Erika were gathered with their respective flags at the Pride event, each representing their own club and sexuality.
"Thanks for the wait guys!"
"No big deal, by the way Akari, I think I saw the art club from here, let's go gather with them."
"Alright, Kokoro. You two have fun, okay?"
"We will!"
As both of them walked to the Art club area, Akari's heart started pounding. It was.. brimming with lots of love. Kokoro's hand was warm, her peaceful expression glistening in the sun..
Oh what am I doing.. i feel so weird around Kokoro.. ugh! I can't let her know that I like her until I confess, I just gotta remove this expression on my face—
"You okay Akari?"
Akari snapped out of her thoughts.
"Y-Yeah.. just a little woozy is all."
"That's good then." She said, as she smiled warmly.
Kokoro's face was.. blushing..? Did she.. feel the same towards me?
Meanwhile with the Disharmonica Ghouls..
"It's Pride Month in the human realm. Oh, what a delight to get more Despair~!"
"Ooo~ Pride month you say? Allow me, I'll get their hearts."
"Go ahead my love, capture their despair!"
"Time to take their desires~.."
Meanwhile, everyone then gathered around the Norrisville Boardwalk, with Heidi Weinerman then taking her Me-Casting role on stage.
"Sup, it's your girl, Me-Casting live for the Norrisville Pride Parade! A special speech will be said by our loyal hero, the Ninja!"
The Ninja smokebombed onto the stage, making his entrance.
"Thank you, Heidi. Hello Norrisville, it is my honor to be here for this special day. The 1st day of June may not be special for everyone around us, but to us people of color, it is a special day to be yourselves. To love and be proud about your identity, whether you are a person who loves the opposite gender, a person who loves both genders, a person who doesn't like the idea of romance or sexual desires, an ally, or you haven't come out of the closet.
“This month will be our month, our time to spread love and pride everywhere we go. I may not be part of the community, but as the Ninja, I will always support and be your very own ally every step of the way. Let's show those Homophobic shoobs some love! That is all from me, thank you Norrisville, and have a Good Pride month."
Everyone cheered, as they all felt inspired and encouraged by the Ninja.
"Man, his speech was so meaningful, it almost made me cry.."
Akari said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"He always knows what to say." Ruka said, as the others clapped along with the audience.
Crimson Heart then watched from above, seeing nothing but Hope, Happiness, and Pride around the place.
"Jeez.. is there anyone holding in their desires?"
She then saw a boy, holding in their feelings for a specific boy.
"Perfect.. this should give me their desires!"
"Replace your desires with despair! I summon thee, the power of Disdain-energy! 3, 2, 1.. aim!"
"Go! Disdainborg! Engage into the chaos and destroy their desired festival!"
The energy was then splattered onto the boy, who was then turned into a Disdainborg.
"Disdainborg!!!!!"
Everyone then started screaming and running away.
"Evacuate to the Norrisville Park immediately!!" The Ninja said as everyone ran to the park, making sure no one is left besides the 4.
"A Disdainborg here at this festival?! Wait.. who is that?!" Akari said, horrified at the new villain.
"The name’s Crimson Heart, here to take your desires and replace them with Despair."
"Turning someone's desires into Despair is.."
"Unforgivable!"
"Precure! Blooming Start!”
“The Blooming Roses that makes the scent of love, Cure Rose!”
“A lovely Tulip gives you hope and tranquility. Cure Tulip!”
“The Brightening Sunflowers, that makes the scent of joy! Cure Sunflower!”
“A beautiful Daisy gives you a new beginning. Cure Daisy!”
“Resonate to our Differences! No one shall be faced with Despair any longer! Blooming Happiness Precure!”
“Let's see what you got. Get them Disdainborg!”
“DISDAIN!!!!”
As the Disdainborg dashes forward, Cure Sunflower then kicks and punches the Disdainborg.
“Let me assist you, Sunflower!”
“Daisy Strike!” A daisy volleyball then appears on her hand and strikes it towards the Disdainborg.
The Disdainborg then gets hit by the ball and gets furious.
“Rose, let's go!” Cure Tulip said, but no response from Cure Rose.
“Rose..? Hey, you okay?”
“Y-Yeah! Just.. scared is all.”
“.. If you say so.”
Cure Tulip then jumps over to the Disdainborg and lands a kick on its head.
Cure Rose then punches it's head multiple times, striking a head bump on it.
As Cure Rose punched the Disdainborg's head, it suddenly grabbed her leg and spun her like a rope. It then threw Cure Rose to the stage where the Ninja is. The Ninja then saw this and catches her immediately.
"Since you got thrown out of the fight, why don't I launch you back in there?"
“Great idea, we can use your scarf as the launcher!”
As the Ninja makes a launcher, he then aims at the Disdainborg.
“I'll catch up to you soon, Rose.”
He then launches Cure Rose to the Disdainborg, with Cure Rose landing a kick in its face.
“Rose, that was amazing!” Cure Tulip said.
Cure Rose's face was then flustered by her compliment, but tried to ignore it. Cure Tulip's face then also becomes flustered, but the both of them then continue fighting the Disdainborg with the others.
Cure Daisy and Cure Sunflower then tied up the Disdainborg with their Sunflower and Daisy chains. With Randy holding the Disdainborg with his scarf too.
“Finish this off while we hold it in it's place!”
Cure Sunflower said, trying to make the Disdainborg stay put.
Cure Rose's heart started pounding with excitement..
Me.. Doing an attack with Cure Tulip..? How can we handle an attack together..?
But Cure Tulip then gently grabbed her hand, trying to calm her nerves down.
“You're not alone, Rose. I get that you have doubts of your own with all those thoughts in your head. But now, you don't have to feel isolated.”
“Tulip..”
“Now.. Let's do this!”
“Accept our echoes of Love and Happiness! Precure! Miracle Resonance!”
A bouquet of Roses and Tulips surrounded the Disdainborg, creating a bursting explosion in the process and healing the person inside the Disdainborg.
“H-How?! Oh right, I forgot teamwork exists. Not that I care anyway, the next time I see you, I'll only get your desires and pleasure myself with them!” Crimson Heart then disappears and Norrisville goes back to normal like nothing ever happened.
As the person got out of the Disdainborg, everything seemed back to normal! People have started to go to the Pride rally while other people decided to hang out at the most popular Pride spots.
“Hey Akari.. Can I talk to you about something in private?”
“Sure.”
The both of them went to a silent place where it's rarely crowded. Ruka, Erika, and Randy were spying from the bushes as Akari and Kokoro talked.
“Look, I feel like our emotional bond has grown so much in the past few months, we finally get to be ourselves at this very moment.”
“But.. Something has changed about how I feel about you. Your kindness, silliness, childish personality, interests, how you talk, everything! After I felt like our emotional bond grew, I started to feel.. weird.”
“Quick, get the camera Randy!” Erika whispered to Randy as he started to record everything.
“I think I should say the same.. Kokoro, we've been best friends for a while besides Randy and Aster, but I couldn't feel anything about them. But with you.. I feel like my heart will burst out at any moment! So.. Let me say this with all the courage I've got. I like you romantically..! You've given me so much kindness and courage, that you've also inspired me to be the best version I can be! That's why I like you so much!” Akari said, her face flustered in front of Kokoro.
Kokoro's face went red as a tomato as she listened to her confession, she was surprised to see that Akari felt the same as her.
“Akari.. I.. Oh my god.. I never knew you held so much love inside you. Yet here we are with you confessing to me. Looks like we both have the same feelings after all.” Kokoro smiled warmly, as her cheeks were still red as a strawberry.
“Then.. Will you be my girlfriend..?” Akari said to her, her heart pounding so much that she could faint at any moment.
Silence lingered upon them, with Ruka, Erika, and Randy watching with anticipation. And the answer was..
“Yes.. I'll be your girlfriend. I don't ever want to let you be alone, nor let you go.”
Akari's eyes then sparkled at her answer, her cheeks reddening. The both of them leaned into each other and.. they kissed.
Ruka, Erika and Randy squealed at the sight, with them cheering the new couple on.
“YOU GUYS WERE WATCHING US THE WHOLE TIME?!” The both of them said in unison.
“Sorry~ We love seeing you two being romantic to each other.” Erika chuckled
“Congrats on being the new couple.” Ruka said, founding respect in their relationship.
“And I recorded the whole thing! But don't worry, I won't post this, I'll just send this to you guys.” Randy said, as he snickered while looking at the footage.
“Yeah, but you shouldn't spy on us like that!!” Akari said furiously, chasing Randy while he screamed like a girl. The other 3 couldn't help but laugh at their stupid shenanigans.
Looks like Pride month is back to normal. Even if there's chaos everywhere.
Hello everyone! I’m a senior in highschool, looking to get into art school, and I thought it would be unique for my portfolio to have a TV episode in it! As such, I plan to write and produce the pilot for a fancure show, Precure Blossom!
As I have no clue how to market this, I’ve decided to set up a tumblr for it, and will be sharing my progress in the show. I don’t know if I’ll be able to even produce the pilot before I graduate, but I plan to try my hardest in this!
So if you find that you like my characters, or my art, or are even just curious about my story, I hope you enjoy!
Ah yes, World Parents day! Kokoro's parents are here for a visit, same with Ruka's, and mine! We've also brought our siblings too.
"Hey~! Kokoro! Ruka!"
"What's up Akari? Ready for the Family games later after the picnic?"
"I sure am, Ruka-chan! It's gonna be a blast for this event."
"You seem hyped, have you always played these games?"
"I've always been, and it's kinda boring, but I'm up for the challenge. I can't be a Musicool girl without some teamwork!"
Meanwhile.. Erika was watching everyone from afar. Feeling lonely.
"It's nice to have a family.. but my family feels neglectful to me."
She sighed in despair.
"If only.. if only I was the one who got into that accident."
Suddenly, Ruka spotted Erika.
"Erika! Over here!"
"Ruka-chan.."
"You okay?''
"Yeah, nothing's bothering me at all."
Akari had noticed Erika's tension. Seeing the guilt in her face as she talked with Ruka.
"Erika. I don't think it's good.. to pretend your feelings."
"W-What are you talking about..?"
A few minutes later, the four of them gathered in a quiet place from the event. They set up a picnic blanket for them to sit down.
"Listen, I'm really sorry if anyone gets triggered. I didn't think I would be sharing these out until now."
"Go tell them, Erika."
She took a deep breath before speaking.
"My parents.. died in a car accident when I was 6. Well, I was in that car accident, but.. I survived. It was nighttime in our car, and we were going to one of my favorite restaurants, where we ate our spaghetti there. Unfortunately.. a motorcycle crashed in front of my dad's face with my mother. I woke up from the daze and saw them unconscious, I rushed out to get my mom's phone in her bag and called 911. As I did, the police had informed me that.. my parents were dead. That was the worst birthday present yet."
"After that, the police took me in to my uncle and aunt's place, in which my cousins were. But.. my cousins weren't the most welcoming. They would tease, beat, smack, tell lies about me, and even put my head in a toilet bowl. My uncle was way worse, he would send me to his bedroom whenever my aunt is at work. Then.. he took off my pants and started touching me. He kept doing this every single day and even did a lot of abuse on me, just to get what he wanted and without reason."
"That's horrible.. he should be ashamed of himself! He shouldn't be doing the nasty stuff he's been doing to you. As for your cousins, they shouldn't be bullying you so brutally! How come your aunt doesn't notice this?"
"She's very oblivious, so she's easy to fool her with lies."
"Of course that's the case."
".. Erika, you're not alone in this."
"What?"
"I've.. experienced that before. The assault I mean. I've only experienced it 3 times, my uncle, cousin, and neighbor all touched me inappropriately without my permission. It's not as bad as yours, but I'm still traumatized."
"And I've experienced my parents never saying goodbye to me before going overseas. They seem to have forgotten about it, but they visit me sometimes. But still, the feeling of no parents around kind of scares me."
Erika's eyes widened in shock and surprise at their words, hearing their experiences made Erika tear up.
"Guys.."
Suddenly, a Disdainborg appeared in the distance.
"Disdainborg!!!"
"We meet again, Precure."
"Diamond Seleno!"
"You know that twink?!"
"Of course I do, he's a jerk."
"Hey— That's not fair! I'm an established beautiful person."
"Yeah, cry me a river, I'm not being straight for you."
"Wait what- Ehem. Anyway, attack my Disdain!"
"Borg!!!!"
"Let's do this! Erika, evacuate everyone, we'll handle it here!"
"You got it!"
"Precure! Blooming Start!"
As they all transformed, they landed on the floor as they did their incantation.
"The Blooming Roses, that makes the scent of Love. Cure Rose!"
"A lovely tulip brings you hope, and tranquility. Cure Tulip!"
"The Brightening Sunflowers, that makes the scent of joy! Cure Sunflower!"
"Resonate to our Differences! No one shall be faced with Despair any longer! Blooming Happiness Precure!"
"Pathetic Precures, you'll pay. Get them!"
"Borg!!!!"
The Disdainborg then dashed forward to us and tried to tackle us. But we dodged it just in time.
"You're gonna pay for that tackle!"
"Bloom Shock!" A rose then forms around the Disdainborg and suddenly erupts, but the Disdainborg dodged it.
"The heck?!?!"
"Leave this to me."
"Tulip Storm!" A storm of Tulip petals had twirled around the Disdainborg, making it dizzy.
"I'll take it from here!"
"Golden Sunburst!" A ball of energy appeared in Cure Sunflower's hand and threw it to the Disdainborg.
As they fought.. Erika watched from a distance. Leaving her with eerie thoughts.
Suddenly, Diamond Seleno appeared in front of Erika.
"Well look who it is, the coward herself."
"Who are you?!"
"Heheheh.. who am I? Well if you must know, I am the best and far most beautiful, Diamond Seleno! Greatest leader of the Disharmonica. And there, my friend, is your reflection. Your worthless dupe that's going through the same thing. Disdainborg! Show us your feelings."
As the Disdainborg stopped, it suddenly.. started to speak?!
"I've lost my friend.. I don't know if they even betrayed me or not?! Why did I leave them out of my sight?! Without them, I'm not safe around anyone anymore.."
The words of the Disdainborg's voice echoed.
"You see my child, that is the futile voice of a person's breakdown. That person.. will be you once again..!"
As Seleno summoned his energy and threw it at Erika, there was a shield protected in front of her, the one who was protecting her was Cure Sunflower.
"Run Erika! You can't be in despair!"
"Y-Yeah!"
Erika then ran away as fast as she could. But then she stopped.
"What if.. I help them..? Would that make me a coward?" She muttered to herself.
"It doesn't make you a coward-daffo."
A voice spoke, none other than Daffodil.
"Daffodil.."
"Helping out others doesn't make you a coward, it's one strong emotion that we all feel beneath ourselves-daffo."
"If you give all your courage and sincerity into it, then there's no reason to be scared-daffo."
As Daffodil spoke, she touched Erika's hand.
"You're one strong person, don't forget it-daffo."
Erika's eyes widened, inspired by the message that Daffodil gave her.
"All this time.. I've actually been brave..? Is this.. a new beginning for me?"
"You'll never know once you try-daffo."
Erika then stood up, running over to the Disdainborg as a white bright light surrounded her. A Harmony Pact had appeared in front of her and grabbed it as she prepared herself to transform.
"Precure! Blooming Start!"
As the transformation sequenced, the Precures and Diamond Seleno were shocked at the sight of Erika transforming.
"A beautiful daisy gives you a new beginning, Cure Daisy!"
"Cure Daisy!" We said in unison, an expression of amazement in our faces.
"Oh come on!!! Another Precure again?! Just how are you able to get more?!"
Cure Daisy then ran towards the Disdainborg.
"Daisy Strike!" A Daisy volleyball appeared on her hand and threw it to the Disdainborg with ease.
"That's so.. Musicool!!"
"Now's not the time to be admiring, Rose!!"
"Guys, I've got an idea! Let's use one of the Daisy Nets that one of our neighbors has!"
"Good idea. Cure Sunflower, distract the Disdainborg for us."
"Roger that!"
As Cure Sunflower spun around the Disdainborg, Cure Rose, Cure Tulip, then grabbed the Daisy Net.
"Let's do a surprise attack behind the Disdainborg, Cure Daisy will handle the rest."
"Right!"
After Cure Sunflower spun around, she frog-leaped over the Disdainborg, As Cure Rose and Cure Tulip then trapped the Disdainborg inside the net.
"Go for the moment, Cure Daisy!"
"Wretched Disdain, it's time to move on from the past! Precure! Daisy Blessing!"
As the Disdainborg becomes defeated by a storm of Daisies, the civilian inside it then thanks the Precures and finally finds their friend.
"— I'm so happy you're okay!!"
"I thought you would leave me forever.."
"Of course not! Friends always stick together. Now, back to the Orphanage?"
"Sure!"
The kids then ran back to the Orphanage, leaving Akari being a bit tear-eyed.
"That's so sweet.. and Musicool at the same time."
"Hehehe.. you're not kidding, friendship always lasts."
Erika then suddenly hugged everyone.
"Thank you guys.. thank you for being my new beginning."
As everyone hugged, Diamond Seleno watches from afar and wipes a tear on his face.
"Sister love.. oh how prideful that is." He said, as he disappeared.
After all of that, everyone then continued to celebrate Family day with their Family games and picnics. Erika learned a heartwarming lesson about friends.. being a family too.
