Episode 4:

Op: "We are Passion Heart Precure!"

"The cure of merriment, Cure Merry!"


Valor city shimmered with life. The weekend was usually meant with crowds of people and streets busy with food markets and jewelry stands. Of course this weekend was no exception. The residents of Valor took to the streets to fully enjoy what the weekend had to offer, every street corner filled with people. Orie was one of many enjoying the market's. Every Sunday Orie woke up early to make it to the food markets. Buying spices, deserts, seasonings and just about anything she could get her hands on. The markets where something Orie loved to be apart of.

One stand in particular always seemed to catch her eye. A jewelry stand at the street corner of Daisy Ave, a street named for it's famous daisies. It was this very stand that Orie was drawn to time after time.

The owner of the stand, Ms. Minami, pleasantly greeted her favorite customer. "Good morning, Ms. Orie. It's a pleasure seeing such a familiar face today."

Orie smiled also greeting Ms. Minami. "That's good to hear, because of all the stands here today, this was the one I wanted to see most."

Ms. Minami raised a questioning brow. "Why is that?"

Looking through the jewelry sprawled orderly on the table stand, Orie fiddled with the bracelet that adorned her wrist. "Well, as you know. Last time I was here I bought a bracelet."

"Ah, yes." Ms. Minami remembered, thinking back to last Sunday. "If I recall it was one with a yellow band that had a gem in the shape of a heart on it."

"Yes, actually I'm wearing it now." Orie said, lifting her wrist so that the bracelet was visible. "I was just wondering..." She trailed on.

"Are you not satisfied?" Ms. Mimani asked, her hand placed on her hip.

"N-no!" Orie stuttered. "I was wondering where you found it."

Ms. Minami sighed, rearranging the rest of the jewelry on the stand. "Like I said last time, I was coming here to set up my stand when some strange woman came to me and practically demanded that I have it and sell it, 'to the right girl.'" Ms. Minami faked the woman's voice at the end before turning to enter a shop behind her.

"Wait!" Orie followed her inside. "That's it? Who was the woman? Where did she come from? Where did- "Orie!" Ms. Minami called her name with a frustrated tone to her voice. "I don't know sweet heart, I already told you everything. Now please if you will I need to attend to business."

"Alright." Orie left feeling rather, suspicious. "That woman must know about this bracelet, it's the same one Rei had on when she..." Orie stopped speaking, recalling the other days event.

Rei had transformed into this beautiful, warrior? Orie had no idea what she transformed into or why or how she was even able to do so. All she knew was she had the exact same bracelet as her. With that knowledge alone, Orie was left to wonder if maybe she would be able to transform.

"Rei..." She muttered to herself. "What have you been up to."

Eyecatch 1: Cure Adore is seen in the center of the screen, Yui runs up from behind her and smacks against the screen, falling back. Cure Adore lays her on her lap, giggling behind her hand. The Passion Heart logo appears.

Eyecatch 2: Passion Heart precure logo appears and Cure Adore appears behind it waving to the camera.

By noon Orie had left the market and returned home. She shut the door behind her and placed her keys by the table next to the front door. She checked the clock to her left before heading off into the kitchen.

She took the apron that hung on the kitchen's wall and tied it around herself. Pulling out a pot and some food from the fridge she begun to cook. Orie was always the one to put the meals together in the house, with her parents gone away for work and her sick grandmother, Orie quickly learned to cook for herself.

After about an hour Orie was done preparing the food. She did not make anything fancy, she hardly ever cooked anything that was not rice or soup. But that was good enough for her and for her grandmother.

Placing the lunch on a tray she walked down the halls of her house until she reached the final door at the end of hall. Slowly, as to not disturb her grandmother, she opened the door and set the tray down on a coffee table placed in the center of the room.

"I'm back from the markets." Orie said. "I've made you some soup, just a light dish so you don't have to worry about chewing anything rough."

Orie took the tray and gently laid it on her grandmothers lap, she pulled a chair up to her bed and sat down. This was a regular routine for Orie. When school was out and she came home, she cooked up a meal and would bring it over to her grandmother.

It was not to long after her parents started to regularly travel for work that her grandmother fell ill. It had been two years now, since then Orie tried her best to make sure her grandmother would recover.

"Mama, how do you feel today?" Orie asked.

Her grandmother turned to face her, smiled and nodded. "Orie, why aren't you in school?"

Orie sighed, taking a hold of her hands. "It's my day off. Remember?"

Her grandmother smiled again and nodded, this time she stayed quiet. Orie stood from her chair and took the tray back to the kitchen. The maid was left to look over her grandmother as Orie went to take care of their garden.

"Rei should be here soon." She spoke to herself.

Right on que, the door bell rang. Allowing Rei to enter, the maid showed her to the garden. Rei excitedly greeted Orie and the two sat together by the flower beds.

"I love your house Orie!" Rei cheered with excitement. "It's always fun comin' here!"

Orie folded her leg over the other and quickly got down to business. "Rei, don't you know why I asked you to come over?" She asked.

Rei eyed her with a blank expression on her face. "Why?" She said. "Oh...yeah."

"Well, won't you tell me what exactly happened the other day?" Orie asked her.

"I thought you were fine with it..." Rei pouted.

"Rei, everything happened so quickly I was just glad that I made it home." Orie sighed out, dropping her head into her hands. " It was all so strange, you transformed in seconds and then just like that you defeated that...that thing! Without even flinching."

"Orie..." Rei begun. " I really didn't mean to put you in danger! It's hard to explain but- "She's been chosen to fight!"Yui cut her off, catching Orie by surprise. The little fairy snuggled out from Rei's bag that hung around from her shoulder. Yui sat herself down right in front Orie.

"W-what is this?" Orie asked, clearly confused.

"I'm a fairy." Yui said. "And Rei has been chosen to fight against evil to save your world and my world."

Orie remained silent, looking over the little fairy with a stunned face. Rei picked Yui up and sat her on her lap.

"Orie, are you ok?" She asked.

"I'll be right back." Orie muttered before stepping into the kitchen. "Oh my gosh!" Orie gasped. "What has she gotten herself into?" She wondered, pacing around her kitchen. "A fairy? Fighting evil? Rei, what in the world is going on?"

"Yui, what were you thinking?" Rei scolded the fairy. "Orie wasn't ready for you! Don't you get it, you're a talking pink bear! You can't just go around talking to people like that!"

Yui huffed out a breath in annoyance. "I'm not a bear! Plus, you're the one who went all super hero on her the other day!"

"Well, if I hadn't she could have gotten hurt!" Rei said.

The two continued to argue between themselves, unaware of the un-welcomed guest that had arrived. Ambrosia glared at the two below her. She did not announce herself, instead she let the two argue. Of course, what better way to win then to surprise you're enemy?

"Shush Rei! " Yui hushed at the girl.

"What? Do you hear her coming back?" Rei asked.

"No..." Yui sniffed at the air, her fur standing up. "Somethings coming this way!" Yui said with a panicked tone.

"What?" Uttered Rei.

Ambrosia grinned, shooting her arm out before her. "Lurid! Attack!"

Rei jerked her head towards the sound of her voice, her eyes growing wide. The ground trembled beneath Rei, the loud cry of a monster echoed in the air. Appearing behind Ambrosia, a beastly creature stomped it's way into Orie's garden.

Unaware of the pending danger, Orie had stopped her pacing as the tremors from the monster could be felt. Quickly running back to the garden, Orie froze were she stood. Her eyes meet with Rei's for a second before they fell back onto the monster in her garden.

"Rei, transform!" Yui shouted the order.

"Love Charm, Lovely Dress!" Rei called out. "Over flowing with love, heart pounding romance! Cure Adore!"

Ambrosia called out to the lurid. "Lurid! Don't hold back, today we shall win!"

Orie kept her stare fixed on Adore, her body trembling with fear. In a matter of seconds her garden was turned upside down. Adore landed blow after blow on the beast, but nothing seemed to work.

"What in the world..." Orie said.

The lurid thrashed about, tearing up the flower beds and crushing down on the rest of her plants. Adore was thrown about the place, the lurid swatting her away like a fly.

"You see, your sudden surge of power is gone now!" Ambrosia said. "You should have given me the bracelet the day we meet, you wouldn't have to suffer such a beating!"

Adore stood herself up, ignoring everything Ambrosia said. "I won't lose to you!" She shouted. "There's no way I'd let someone like you take over my home!"

"Face it, my lurid is stronger then you! Even if you get up to fight, it'll knock you down time after time!" Ambrosia said. "You'll lose and then I'll be free to take over this pathetic little planet! Lurid, finish her!"

The lurid dashed towards Adore, ready to knock her down. Adore ran head on towards the lurid sinking her fist onto it. The lurid stumbled backwards before crashing down on it's side.

The ground shook once more, Orie trying to keep her balance. "Oh no, if this keeps up..." She spoke to herself. "Stop!" Orie shouted.

Adore turned to Orie. "Orie, what are you doing?" She asked.

Orie, still fearful, ran to Adore and took her by the arm. "You have to stop, look at what that thing is doing!" She said, referring to her garden. "If it starts to hurt the house, Mama could get hurt! You could get hurt!"

"Orie, I-I-" Don't mettle in things you can't take care of, human!" Ambrosia spoke out to Orie. "Lurid get up and stop playing around! I want to see this cure crushed!"

The lurid stood itself up and on command it begun to charge to Adore. Adore pushed Orie away, summoning a shield she readied herself for the lurid's attack.

"No." Orie said. "No, I won't let you hurt her!" Orie broke into a sprint, her arms out in front of her and she pushed Adore away from harm.

"Orie!" Adore cried out.

"I won't stand by and let Rei do everything herself!" Orie said, her voice trembling. "I'll protect her!"

For a moment, everything felt as if the earth had stopped. But in an instant a bright light over took Orie. Ambrosia averted her eyes from the blinding light, Adore doing the same. Yui stood on edge, her eyes twinkled with hope.

"She's awaken!" Yui said in awe.

Orie felt at ease, as if nothing could hurt her. She was surrounded by golden light, the bracelet around her wrist shimmered with a strong glow.

"Is...is this what happened to Rei. I'm transforming?" She asked herself. She could feel her heart beat fast, but she was not afraid. "Love Charm, Lovely Dress!"

The golden light around her wrapped itself around her body. She brought her hand over her body, the light vanishing to reveal a red top with a creme skirt. She tapped her heels and bursting from the light, white boots formed with thigh high socks.

Orie brought her hands around a red hood, she pulled it down and instantly her hair changed form into a golden bob. She landed back down and struck a pose.

"Laughter filling the air, bells chiming with joy! Cure Merry!" The new cure was born.

"Cure Merry." Repeated Rei as she gazed at Merry.

Merry stood in awe of herself, gazing down at her new attire. She passed her hands over the skirt, feeling the softness of the fabric between her fingers.

"Amazing." She said with wonder.

Ambrosia clenched her fist by her side, her glare fixed on Merry. "This is not right!" Her scream pierced the air, turning the cure's attention towards her. "I won't allow this to continue any further! Today is your first and last day as a cure!"

Ambrosia waved her hand towards the precure, a purple glow growing from her palm. Shooting out the purple beam, Cure Adore jumped in front of Merry, summoning her shield to protect them.

"Merry, I'll handle Ambrosia." Adore said. "Think you can take that monster over there?"

Merry smiled and assured Adore she could take down the monster. "I got this!"

The lurid screeched out a deafening cry before trashing around like before. Clueless to fighting, Merry threw a punch in an attempt to subdue the beast. The lurid, now furious, stomped around the garden swinging it's arm at Merry.

"No, this won't due!" Ambrosia yelled in anger. She readied to attack Merry again, but was shaken with a sudden blow from Adore.

"Like I said Ambrosia, I won't let you win!" Adore said landing yet another blow to Ambrosia.

Merry stumbled about, her useless punches only angering the lurid. "What should I do?" She asked herself.

Yui ran on to the battle scene, scurrying to Merry's side. "You have to purify it!"

"How?" Merry asked in a panicked voice.

"Gather all of your power and energy and then, bam! Release it!" Yui explained.

"What?" Merry said.

"Listen to me Merry!" Adore spoke in between blocking hits from Ambrosia. "This may sound strange, but listen to your heart!"

Merry was dumbfounded. She was sure she had just walked into a different world. She was not a fighter in any sense of the word. But here she was, fighting and losing at that.

"Listen to my heart..." She muttered as her eyes were glued to the lurid that was ready to trample her at any moment. "Listen to my heart..." She placed her hands over her heart, her eyes closed tightly. "Listen to my heart..."

Merry begin to surge with power, a golden glow about her. She threw her arms out in front of her, the light around her growing brighter.

"Listen to my heart!" She shouted, the light around her now burning bright. "Precure! Merry, Sonic Bell!"

Golden light shot out from her hands, the sounds of bells shook the ground beneath her. The lurid cried out in it's last attempt of fighting as it was over taken and finally purified by the light. Once the light had vanished, a small glow was left behind. Merry placed her hands under the glow, the glow disappearing to reveal a red heart.

"You have to send the heart back to where it belongs." Yui told her.

Merry, almost as if she had done this before, snapped her fingers. She wrapped her hand around a bell handle and rung it.

"Go now, with joy in your heart!" With those words the heart went back to where it belonged.

Ambrosia pushed Adore down away from her. Enraged from her failure, she left to retreat back to her hide out.

"Wow!" Yui exclaimed. "You were amazing!"

"Really?" Merry giggled.

"Yea you were!" Adore said practically knocking Merry over with a tight hug. "I can't believe this, you're a precure!"

Merry pulled herself back from Adore's hug, eyeing her. "I'm a what?"

Now back to their regular forms, the two girls were once again in the garden. Rei and Orie sat together by the flower beds, Rei explaining every last detail of being a precure.

"So, we've been chosen to fight against monsters like that?" Orie asked.

"Yup!" Rei said. "But don't worry, now that were both precure's, this will be so easy!" Rei cheered.

"I'm glad." Orie admitted.

"Really?" Yui asked her.

Orie nodded. "Yes, my garden is back to normal. I don't have to worry about Rei getting hurt and I was able to keep my home safe." She said with a cheerful expression. "I'm not much of a fighter, but if Rei's by my side then I'll give it a try!"

"Excellent!" Exclaimed Rei as she threw her arms up in excitement. "From this day on, we're precure!"
