CRACK!
The sound of a glass breaking echoed through the perfume shop. Chiara had just dropped a perfume bottle all the way to the ground, causing it to break in the process. The blonde stepped away from the spilled green liquid on the ground as Chloe ran in. "Petite-soeur! You did it again!" the cherry-redhead scolded.
"It's not my fault!" Chiara answered, "It's my hands!"
Lavvie and Lotus, watching the scene from the balcony, just rolled their eyes in annoyance. During the previous day, after Chloe and Chiara became Pretty Cures and fought against a Ylang-Ylang for the first time, the two sisters became employees at the two skunks' perfume shop.
"You two sure need some practice, desu." Lotus instructed, "Chiara just dropped the bottle because she wasn't holding it the right way."
"She wasn't?" asked Chloe.
"I wasn't?" asked Chiara.
Lotus nodded. Lavvie then turned to his sister and asked, "Hey, Lotus, should we tell them about the other three Cures?"
"Other three Cures?" asked Chloe.
Lavvie nodded quickly in agreedment. "As you may have noted, we told you guys you smelled two of the Cure Scents, and so three of them are left to be smelled. The purple jasmine, the orange tangerine, and the green cardamom scents. So, for the team to be complete, and become stronger as well, we'll need to find the three other Cures." he added.
Chloe and Chiara looked at each other before looking back at the mascots. "Well, I was expecting something kinda like on that show we used to watch when we were little, Futari wa Hearty Pure, with Pure Pink and Pure Blue, but it's okay with having three more teammates."
"Also, I understand jasmine and tangerine..." Chiara added, "But what the heck is a cardamom?"
Chloe, Lavvie and Lotus were surprised. That was definetly a question that they just couldn't answer. "A cardamom?" Chloe was having a hard time to think of an answer. "Well, petite-soeur, a cardamom is... Well, it's a... Let's see... sometimes, it..." Finally, the cherry-redhead spat out, "Well, it doesn't smell bad!"
Lavvie and Lotus just sweatdropped in annoyance. They knew that if those two stayed that way, their young lives wouldn't last too long.
"We're doomed."

The sound of someone blowing into a whistle could be heard through Oriyama Junior High's baseball field. The baseball training was done for now. Ayameko stood up from the ground, panting like mad, with a few drops of sweat running down her face.
"Mayonaka!" their coach, Miriam Takamine, called, running up to the purplenette and patting her head, "You did really great this time, Mayonaka-san. Here's the pudding you wanted." Miriam handed Ayameko a bowl filled with pomegranate pudding (does that even exist?), which made the team captain crack a huge smile as her eyes turned into hearts.
"Arigato, Takamine-san!" Ayameko cheered, taking the bowl and a spoon and beginning to eat the pudding.
"Okay, minna-san! Tomorrow I'll show you what you must do during a fault! See ya!" Miriam told the team as she took her bag, baseballs and bats and walked away. Ayameko also left back home (the baseball training was after the main classes), still eating the pudding, as her pale-pink-haired, blue-eyed teammate Nakayama Ran followed her.
"You did really great this time, Ayamii-chan!" Ran cheered.
"As I didn't done great everyday, huh, Ranni?" asked Ayameko, trying to smirk, but looking weird due to her stuffing the pudding inside her mouth like a chipmunk.
"No wonder why you're the captain of the team!" Ran giggled. The two laughed as Ayameko swallowed the stuffed pudding whole and said, "Well, at least it's only three months away from the big baseball competition between Star Class and Moon Class. Nuthin' to freak out about so far."
Ran gulped. "I-I-I don't think so..." she said worriedly.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Ayameko.
Ran tugged on the purplenette's sleeve as she replied, "The Moon Class has that girl, Hidemisa Fumiko, as the batter, and she's a true baseball expert..."
Ayameko patted her friend's head grinning. "Hey, Ranni-chan, don'tcha worry! She may be an expert, but I'm gonna certainly beat her up to a pulp!" The two laughed gleefully. Suddenly, Ayameko heard a familiar voice call, "Ayamii-chan!"
The purplenette turned around to see Chloe and Chiara a couple of miles away waving to her. "Wait a sec." Ayameko told Ran as the purplenette ran up to the Auriville sisters.
"What are they thinking of this time?" Ayameko whispered to herself.
TODAY'S EPISODE:
A Strong Purple Flower! Here's Cure Jasmine!
Tsuyoi Murasaki no Hana! Kyua Jazumin Sanjou! (強い紫の花！キュアジャスミン、参上！)
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a sec! You are SO not going to make me enter that building!"
The three girls stood in front of the main door of the perfume shop, but Ayameko refused to go inside. She can be a little stubborn sometimes, especially when she was forced to do something she didn't wanted to.
Chloe and Chiara looked at each other before the older sister spoke up, "Aw, come on, Ayamii-chan! It's like on Futari wa Hearty Pure, only much better!"
Ayameko rolled her blue eyes in annoyance. "Futari wa Hearty Pure is just a silly babies' show you're just obsessed with, and Pure Pink and Pure Blue aren't real. Just fragments of someone's twisted-"
Before the purplenette could even finish her sentence, the Auriville sisters pushed her into the shop as she yelped. "What was that for?" the tomboy asked annoyedly.
All the sisters did was point straight to the balcony. Ayameko turned around to see the three remaining Cure Scents - purple, orange, and green - there. She walked up to them and stared at them before glancing at the two French girls and asking, "What's so special on some stupid bottles?"
"Try smelling their fragrances. You'll get happiness and true love soon-" Chiara smiled before being interrupted by Ayameko, "You're just reading that sign, aren'tcha?"
"Well, kinda." Chiara sweatdropped.
Ayameko then turned back to the Cure Scents. She took a deep breath as she picked up the purple jasmine one, opened it, and felt the scent of jasmine hit her nostrils. The tomboy closes her eyes and feels like she's at Cloud Nine.
"Such a good sceeent~" she says.
After she's done with her peaceful moment, Chiara hugs her tight. "Hooray! Another Pretty Cure!" the blonde cheers.
"Say what?" Ayameko asked annoyedly.
"We've found our third Pretty Cure!" cheered Lavvie and Lotus as they came out of their hiding places.
"Minna, do you have any idea of who those two are?" asked the tomboy to the other two girls.
Chloe pointed to the two skunks as she said, "Ayameko, those two are Desu Lavvie and Lotus, prince and princess of the Scent Kingdom. Lavvie, Lotus, this is our classmate, Mayonaka Ayameko."
Ayameko raised an eyebrow. "These two are a prince and a princess?" she asked.
"First of all, our last name isn't Desu, it's just what Lotus says after all of her sentences." Lavvie explained, "And second, yes, my imouto and I are the prince and princess of the Scent Kingdom, but our kingdom got taken over by an evil organization called Karlix. They are searching for this Angelic Dandelion thing by collecting the scent of sadness and despair so they can rule the world and all that jazz. But the legendary warriors, Pretty Cure, need to stop Karlix before the Scries perfume is complete."
"So it's kinda like a baseball game, we have to stop our adversaries before they catch the ball, right?" Ayameko asked.
"Basically, desu." Lotus answered.
The purplenette grinned. If this was going to be like baseball, then she'd be more than ready! For what other reason she was the captain of Oriyama Junior High's baseball team?
"If it's gonna be like this, then I'm definetly in!" Ayameko gave the other a thumbs-up, smirking, "Gimme that CureBottle over here!"
"Yeah!" the Auriville sisters hi-5ed each other, grinning.
(Eyecatch 1: Cure Rosa twirls around and winks to the camera as Lavvie and Lotus hop in and a tiny PCPP logo appears on the left of the screen.)
(Eyecatch 2: The Perfume Preppy girls look at an oven as if waiting for something. Suddenly, a 'ding' noise is heard. The girls open the oven to see seven cupcakes that have their, Lavvie and Lotus' faces on them as a tiny PCPP logo appears on the left of the screen.)
The next day, at school, Ayameko wandered down the hallways, looking for Ran. "Ranni! Ra~nni-chan! There are only 15 minutes left for the baseball training! Ranni, where are-"
"Mmmmph! Mmmmmmmph!" the purplenette heard Ran's muffled voice.
Ayameko raced up to where she heard the voice come from. When she finally reached the place, she gasped in horror to see Ran tied up by a rope made of stinky cheese and tape-gagged, looking really distressful. "Ranni!" Ayameko shouted. Suddenly, an arm made of French bread hit her, making her fall to the ground.
"What the-?" the tomboy asked in surprise. What hit her was a strange Ylang-Ylang made of bread. Standing on top of its head was a denizen of Karlix, Frencheese, who was a man with long black hair wearing an armor that looked like it was made of stinky cheese. "Hello there, Ayamii." he said evily.
Ayameko glared at him. "Get away from my friend!" she shouted.
"Really?" chuckled Frencheese as he took out the Scries perfume bottle and took the duck tape out of
Ran's mouth, making her scream, "Please, let me go! I don't wanna die! I have the big baseball competition! Please no! AAAAAAHHHH!"
Ayameko suddenly noticed the Scries bottle filling up with brown liquid really slowly. Chloe and Chiara ran up to her holding Lavvie and Lotus. "Another Ylang-Ylang! Let's transform, Ayamii-chan!" Chloe shouted.
"Transform? But how?" asked Ayameko. Lavvie handed her a CureBottle as he shouted, "Just watch them! Then do the same!" The Auriville sisters held up their CureBottles and began their transformation.
"Pretty Cure's Scent of Love! Transmutation, Now!"
The purplenette tomboy blocked herself from the pink and yellow light that followed soon after. When everything became clearer, she saw that Chloe and Chiara now looked different, indeed very similar to the main duo of Futari wa Hearty Pure, only Chiara was yellow-themed instead of blue.
"In the Name of the Pink Rose, I am Cure Rosa!"
"In the Name of the Yellow Vanilla Flower, I am Cure Vanilla!"
"Oh... my... pudding." Ayameko's jaw dropped. So that no-longer-silly babies' show, Futari wa Hearty Pure, including Pure Pink and Pure Blue, was real after all; these weren't just fragments of someone's twisted imagination as she was about to say the previous day. Five seconds later, Rosa and Vanilla fell to the ground, badly bruised.
"That monster is too strong..." Rosa said scratching her head, "Ayamii... Help..." Ayameko glanced at Rosa before glancing back at the monster.
Frencheese raised an eyebrow. "What are you gonna do? Call some superhero?" he asked teasingly.
"Actually... Yep." Ayameko stood up and gripped tightly her CureBottle. She was more than ready for action.
"Pretty Cure's Scent of Love! Transmutation, Now!"
She jumped up and was bathed in purple light. Frencheese, Rosa, Vanilla, Lavvie and Lotus all watched as the tomboy became a whole different self. She landed on the ground and rapidly punched and kicked the air, all with a big grin on her face, before introducing herself as...
"In the Name of the Purple Jasmine Flower, I am Cure Jasmine!"
"She... transformed." Lavvie and Lotus said in unison, mouths agape like Rosa and Vanilla's. Frencheese frowned. "So Stankou was right..." he whispered to himself.
Jasmine growled. She raced up to the Ylang-Ylang... and next thing you know, it was thrown aside. She pounced over the monster like a wild life cat, gripped its neck tightly and suffocated it. Chloe and Chiara were wide-eyed. "She's far more aggressive than both of us. I was right when I said she would be good on the team." Chloe grinned.
After finishing suffocating the Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine stepped over it, grasped its nose, and gave it a long hard bite. Finally, she leaped off it and finally, began her finishing attack. She clapped once, and a baseball and baseball bat made of purple light. She got on focus and narrowed her eyes towards the Ylang-Ylang. Finally, she yelled, "With the Purple Scent of Elegance, take this! Pretty Cure Jasmine Thunder!"
As she said the last phrase, she finally hit the ball with the bat and it flew towards the monster, becoming in the shape of a humming bird. Next thing you know, it was just like when Rosa first attacked with Pretty Cure Rosa Rhapsody; it left a large hole through the monster, as it glew in purple light, and the yellow flower on top of it turned into dust and was blown away, while the rest of the monster turned into a basket with hunches of bread inside.
Frencheese scoffed in annoyance. "Sheesh! These Pretty Cure girls are better than I thought." he said before vanishing.
"Whee! Jasmine-chan defeated the bread thing!" Vanilla cheered as she jumped up and down in glee.
"Merci beaucop, Jasumii-chan." Rosa smiled. Jasmine turned around and winked, smirking. Now she could live the same life of the Futari wa Hearty Pure girls, only much better... and in real life.
Later, at the school's bathroom after baseball practice, Ayameko finished spraying jasmine-scented perfume all over Ran. After sniffing herself, the pale-pink haired girl sighed in joy. "It smells like jasmine. And it feels really great." Ran grinned.
Ayameko smirked. "Well, I didn't wanted everybody to feel your scent of moldy cheese!" she said.
Ran then double-blinked and glanced at her friend as she said, "Hey, Ayamii-chan... Who was that girl dressed up in purple?"
"You mean the one who finished off Breadzilla?" Ayameko asked. She gulped; if she told Ran about the whole Pretty Cure thing, she and the rest would be totally doomed! She had to think of an excuse, and as quick as possible.
The pale-pink-haired friend raised an eyebrow. "Ayamii-chan? Ayaaaaamiiii?" she waved a hand in front of the tomboy's face. Ayameko double-blinked and turned to Ran, "Oh, it was just a Hearty Pure wannabe who claimed herself to be Pure Purple."
"Pure Purple?" asked Ran.
Ayameko grinned. Now she was completely sure of what she had to say.
"Yup. There's obviously no such thing as Futari wa Hearty Pure. But we still love them, do we?"
