2010

Fusion Group has registered Cure Blossom, Cure Marine, Cure Sunshine, Cure Moonlight, and Dark PreCure as Pretty Cure.

Cure Lemonade and Syrup are now high school students.


Dressed up in pink, aquamarine, yellow, and silver, the four newly-named Pretty Cures emerge from the dressing room to find the fifth already costumed. Unlike the others' dresses, which are thematically similar even if they don't completely match, Dark PreCure is wearing a black one-piece dress with a short skirt and long black stockings. She has a blood red flower ornament pinned to her hair, and is wearing a black opera glove on her left hand with a diamond shaped crimson gem affixed at the wrist. Her right arm is bare from the shoulder down, and a single large black wing prosthesis hangs at her back.

Yuri's eyes widen. "Sumire, this is not what we talked about!"

"Who is this 'we', Big Sister? Have you perhaps forgotten that you did all the talking and decided it on your own? I have no interest in calling myself 'a delicate flower that blossoms under the night sky'! I'll choose my own path, and show you the true nature of darkness!"

Erika skips forward to examine Dark PreCure's outfit more closely. "Going for a lone-wolf rebel look? I think it's a silly concept, but it looks good on you."

"Cure Marine?" Yuri asks, "What are you-"

"E-ri-ka! How can we become friends if you insist on calling me some stuffy title?"

"Erika, please don't encourage her!"

"She did this on her own, though? Face it, Yuri, your little sis has plenty of courage if she's already come up with something this elaborate." Erika pauses, then pokes at the gem affixed at Sumire's wrist. "This seems out of place. What were you going for?"

Sumire grins. "It's an homage. I got the idea from one of our predecessors, who didn't have the drive to remain in the world of fashion."

"You've met another Pretty Cure?!" Tsubomi is looking up to Sumire with shining eyes.

"Well... I wouldn't exactly say I met her. It's complicated."
