"Futaba!"
The girl in the bed groaned and rolled over, her short mauve hair getting even more tangled.
Loud stomping could be heard, followed by the door of the room being thrown open a little too viciously. A short green haired girl stood hunched in the doorway.
"FUTABA! Open up the curtains for once! Let the sun in and bloom like those flowers your mom and dad sell! Futa…." She was cut short as a pillow flew through the air and almost knocked her over.
"Geez, you could try to be a little quieter, not to mention just barge in the house like you usually do! For goodness sak…"
"Futaba, what time is it?" asked the girl.
Futaba's head swiveled around to face the clock next to her bed. Her eyes widened as she scrambled out of bed and tried her best to fit into the shirt and khaki top that was typical of Myodo Academy.
"Great, great!" She cried, tugging up her socks, practically running down the stairs, her friend not far behind, except she was moving at a far more leisurely pace.
"The first day of school and I sleep in!" Grabbing the brown bag and throwing some shoes on, she hurried past an open door where three people sat around a table, none of them surprised at what was happening.
Futaba's friend walked into the room, sighing loudly. "Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Hanasaki for letting me stay a little while! I now have some awesome baby stories to tease Futaba with!" She said while grinning.
The third person in the room, an elderly woman with short white hair that curled slightly at the end, chuckled slightly "Oh the memories! When Tsubomi started middle school she was up at five in the morning pacing and being nervous!"
"Hey! Sleep is a good thing!" shouted the mauve-head from the room over. Sticking her tongue out as she came around the corner, she looped arms with her friend after giving a hug to her family members. "See you this afternoon then!"
The two disappeared and shortly afterwards the sound of laughter and a door closing came from the hallway.
"So much like Tsubomi, but so unique in her own way." chuckled Kaoruko once again.
Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out my latest story, and I hope you stick around for more updates!
Seriously! Anyone who has seen the finale of Heartcatch can agree the TOEI left some serious cliffhangers, namely Futaba holding onto Tsubomi's Heart Perfume.
I knew someone would want to write a fanfic about it, and by the time I would start one, it would be done and there would go my ideas and originality.
So here you go! Heartcatch PreCure! Leaf Drop!
Just a quick but quite important note, Me and my sister will be switching on and off for chapter writing, which hopefully means that this will be more than fifty chapter because of the many ideas we will have to combine, and it also means that updates will be on an odd schedule until we plan out the whole thing!
In reality, this is the first fanfic I have ever done! ENJOY!

"Nee, Futaba?"
"Hmm?"
"What's it like being a sister to someone whose way older then you?"
"Why? Most of the time I forget and think I'm an only child."
"You are so lucky to have a sister!"
"You could say that." Futaba sighed, looking around her and seeing other people joining them on the path in Myodo uniforms. "Now hurry up before the flowers wilt!"
…
"Now class! Calm down for a moment! I realize it's the first day of school and all, but let's get a grip!" the last bit being said with the teacher snapping a pencil in half from frustration.
"Oioi! Everyone! Listen to him!" A familiar green haired girl stood up in the front and waved her hands around wildly, easily gaining their attention. It wasn't hard to miss this girl's attitude.
"Thank you Ms. Representative. Now them, let's get going and introduce our new student for the year! Ms. Cayla, go ahead and come in!"
Futaba's friend replied by putting a finger on each cheek and tilting her head, gaining a sweat drop from the teacher. A similar gesture was given to the door as it slid open quietly and closed once again, causing the class to lean forward, also getting her head to tilt at an even greater angle.
She had orange straight hair that was tied back into twin tails with lime green ribbons, oddly complimenting her grey-green eyes that had no emotion.
The class leaned in closer as she began her introduction.
"I'm Mimiko Cayla. None of you in this class are my friends."
The class leaned back down and the teacher sweat dropped even more. However, this didn't prevent a certain green-head from raising her hand.
"Yes?"
"Mimiko-san can sit next to me Mr. Ashita!"
"Well then, Ms. Mimiko, you get the open seat next to…"
Before he could finish his sentence, she had walked down the aisle and sat next to Futaba, causing her to get nervous and begin to stutter, plus her friend admitted defeat and slumped into her desk with a sigh.
"I...I..I'm F..Futaba! Nice to meet you!" Futaba tried.
"Hmph. The only reason I'm sitting here is so I won't get distracted by your friend. Education is best done with no distractions."
"Is that so…" Futaba withdrew her outstretched hand and sighed as she turned back to the board.
…
"Hurry up Futaba! The sooner I get away from that fun-draining girl the better!" Futaba's friend called from the balcony.
"Now now, she's not fun-sucking! She just doesn't want to get distracted by your..."
"By my what?"
"No..nothing! Nothing that's bad! Don't worry!"
"He he! It's okay! Let's just sit down so we can enjoy lunch and the view!"
The two friends sat down on the same the roof that had found a few old friends before, and a begging from two fairies for someone to join them in their quest. Now it had two new ones, one of which was the sister of one of the girls from before.
"You know Futaba; this reminds me of the first time we met!"
"It does? How?"
"You don't remember? Well then…"
…
A green haired girl sat crying on a hill. Her hair was tied back in a singular bun tied off by a dark green ribbon that matched her pants and blue tank top. One of the legs was rolled up and her knee had a small bruise beginning to show as well as a few scratches.
"You okay?" A sweet voice behind her called.
"Huh?" She turned around to face the new young girl who was wearing a green dress with a yellow shirt underneath.
"You were crying and I heard you! So," She sat down next to her and smiled."Don't worry, it will heal soon!"
"But, my friends! They pushed me off the swing and left me!" She sobbed harder but stopped when she felt two arms hug her.
"Then what friends are they?"
"Huh?"
"Friends don't push each other, or leave someone! If my sister found out she would talk to them!"
The girl giggled, pulling herself the best she could up off the ground.
"I like you! You'd be a better friend then they would ever be!"
…
"And so, to celebrate, I brought honey rolls! One for each of us!"
"Honey rolls? Where?"
"He he! Futaba, you love these so much that you forget the rest of our conversation! Baka!" She handed her one of the two treats, which she earnestly took.
"Three.."
"Two..!" Futaba eagerly joined in.
"ONE….!
"NOT JUST YET!" two shrill voices called out.
"Huh?"
"Not the rolls!" Futaba cried out as a white ball fell into her hands and knocked her prize onto the ground. Her friend wasn't so fortunate and had looked up, which had earned her a face full of fuzz.
And, a tail? Ears? Hands?
The thing that had hit her friend popped up hopping down to the ground, licking off the honey that had glommed onto it.
"Just.. *lick* a minute.. *lick* PLEASE!" it cried out.
"Yes, Yes!" The other one hopped down as well and pulled at both of its ears.
"U..ummm…" Her friend stumbled.
"Yes?" both said in unison.
"Who.. What are you? Besides being so adorable that I want to hug you!"
"We are not Whats! We are noble servants of the Great Tree of Hearts, Yes yes we are!" The pink one that had hit Futaba answered.
"Heart tree?" Futaba answered.
"Yes!" the other one that was green answered. "The Heart Tree is everyone's Heart Flower's together! It's getting stronger!"
"And this requires us… how?"
"Well… Well it just that…" He tried to answer with a hand on his chin. "Well to tell the truth, nothing. We were getting bored just sitting there and we figured we would find some people to talk to!"
"Yes, yes!" his friend chimed in.
"I lost my honey roll!" Futaba whined, sad for the loss of it.
The pink fairy hopped up to her knees and sat down. "Sorry! I guess I didn't look where I was going so…. Well I promise at least to get you a good, nice warm one again!" she said, trying to cheer her up.
"Thank you! Thank you! I just can't pass up the offer!" Futaba cried, crushing the small fairy in a hug.
"A..Air!"
"Aahaha, gomen!"
"Anyways, what are your names?" her friend asked.
"Leife! ~desu!"
"Bira! ~deschi!"
"Well then, Leife and Bira, do you want to come with us? We can't really take you into class, but school ends in a little while, so we can meet up then!"
"Our pleasure!" Leife agreed.
"And I know just where to meet!" Futaba interjected, being hit by an idea.
…
The end of school saw two friends climbing up to the same hill where they met, or the same hill where fifteen years prior our original fairies had crashed into Tsubomi.
"Wow, Futaba! Your sister sure had the best place to meet up at!" She stretched her arms as the wind blew her green locks into the wind.
Futaba giggled. She remembered all the things her sister had told her when they were up here. Fantastic stories about the world becoming a desert and four young girls trying their best to save it. According to her, it was those stories that had inspired her to dream about space, and had helped her to become a better person, though Futaba didn't get how those were connected.
"Sure! I hope Bira and Leife get here soon!"
Sure enough, the two flew in from the horizon, their heart ears blowing equally as much.
"Futaba! I thought you were in school forever! I'm glad I don't have to go through that!"
"I wish! But we learn so much!"
"He he, your funny Futa-chan!"
"Of course, yes yes!" the two giggled, earning a chuckle from the others next to them.
Suddenly a loud crash sounded out behind them.
"Oh no! Quick, Bira! We have to find Blossom and Flower!" Bira eagerly nodded, confusing the two friends, who had no choice but to follow as the crashes sounded closer.
…
Tsubomi pulled back the can as the water slowly faded to trickle. The petals glistened in the sun that poured through the glass windows all around.
Standing to her full height, her dark-red ponytail fell back into place as she fixed her glasses back on her nose. She reached up with one arm and wiped off the sweat on her forehead.
Dressed in brown boots and a white skirt, she set the watering can on a nearby desk as she straightened the pink top with a Fairy Drop bow on the corner.
A boom sounded out in the distance, and small ripple formed on the surface of the can.
A medium size fairy floated out from a patch of blue flowers, where another girl and fairy were sitting and laughing, which stopped as soon as the boom occurred.
"Tsubomi, what's wrong?"
"I don't know, Chypre. But let's stay in here for now.
"They say laziness killed the cat, Tsubomi. We should check it out!"
"It was curiosity, Erika, not laziness, and if you don't remember, we're done being Pretty Cure."
"Aaah, well who knows…" said Coffret tiredly from her knees.
…
"Hurry, Futaba! We aren't getting any farther away! It's like it following us!"
As the quartet burst out into the clearing in front of the green house, a large teddy-bear-like monster crashed in front of them.
"Ohhooo! Looky what I found! Fairies from the Heart Tree!" A blue clad woman called from its shoulder.
Her neon blue hair fell to her waist, and she wore a blue sailor school uniform with a blue ribbon in the center.
"Wh..who are you!" cried Leife.
"Mareae! Now, get them over here, those fairies!"
The monster slammed its arm into the ground, causing the girls to fly closer to the green house.
"Let's try to get there! Grandma should be there and maybe she can do something!"
"Because your eighty something grandma can do anything! But who cares! Let's go!" her friend cried.
"Futaba-san!"
"Futa-chan!" All three called in horror as the bear threw its arm once again, throwing her farther away and in the wrong direction from them.
Just as they called out, two women burst from the green house, followed closely by Kaoruko and the fairies.
"What's going on?" Kaoruko called.
"It's like a desertarian!" Erika yelled. "Hey, Tsubomi, let's try to transform!"
"Yes!" Tsubomi agreed as well as the fairies.
"Pretty Cure! Open my Heart!"
A blue light glowed in the clearing, but for some reason only blue.
Tsubomi searched her pockets frantically. It reminded her of the second time she had had to change into PreCure, where she had dropped her Perfume.
"It's not here! Gone!"
"Not again! We'll just have to try with Marine!"
The blue light faded leaving the blue cure standing with her fairy, this time with a much older appearance.
"The flower swaying in the sea breeze! Cure Marine!" Marine called.
Instantly, she jumped up, hoping to get an advantage on the monster.
"Marine Dive!"
"Hey! Your Futaba's friend! What are you doing here!" Tsubomi noticed the green-haired girl standing in front of her, shielding herself from the blast
"We met these fairy things! These booms happened and we tried to run down here! Just help Futaba!"
"Fairies? Like Heart Tree fairies? And FUTABA!" Tsubomi cried, surprised at the turn of events.
"Yes!"
Marine came down from her attack, just as the smoke began to clear.
Time seemed to slow down to a snail's pace.
Marine's transformation dissolved, dumping her on the ground.
As the smoked cleared her vision, Tsubomi noticed Futaba crouched on the ground, crouched over something?
Her Heart Perfume! Futaba had it!
But before she could react, the monster's arm swung again, this time seeming to be in Futaba's direction. Right over her!
Just as the arm was about to hit her, a bright, glowing cherry blossom shape surrounded her and blew the monster back.
…
"Futaba!"
She flinched.
"FUTABA! OPEN UP!"
She opened her eyes to see a pink-haired girl with twin tails and Bira.
The girl was dressed in white and had a jewel over her heart surrounded by blossoms. Her eyes shone blue and red, each different.
"Protect what can't be at the moment, you will get stronger and gain more friends if you fight with your whole heart.
"Muge.. Shilou…." Was all Bira could stumble.
The girl smiled and stretched out her hand.
Futaba herself smiled. Getting stronger? She didn't care. But her friends and family? With all her heart!
…
"The dew of the new horizon's blossoms clears itself to lead us to the future!"
The pink light faded slowly, frightening the monster and the blue girl.
"The flower that protects with all its heart! Cure Sakura!
Whoa… that was long… I just hope my sister can get that much in her writing as well!
For a few notes:
One: I didn't mention Futaba's friend's name because I have no idea what it will be!
Two: Just remember that things being left out and cliffhangers are a part of the series! Wait for more chapters to come out to get the whole story and more!
Anyways, check back in a bit for another chapter, along with more character info and picture links!
You know the deal! Review if you can!
THANKS SO MUCH!
