Warning: A Yuri fic!
The stage lights shone at Honoka and Nagisa while the audience was covered with blackness while they watched the play of Romeo and Juliet. But they were interrupted by the guys from the Dark Zone. The students widened eyed in shocked of what happened a minute ago but they forgot what it was; the knights suddenly moved on their own and kept repeating 'Zakenna' and the two girls, who were probably the Pretty Cures, appeared to take the creepy guy with white hair and all blue all over his body. Nagisa was suddenly standing on the hallway, covering her shoulder like she was wounded. Actually, when that red guy attacked in the middle of the play and they transformed, Nagisa did get wounded in action, but she didn´t want to show it to make everyone worried.
"I can't give up no matter what. I swore to it." Nagisa said her lines. Honoka ran on the stage while Nagisa walked tilted. "Romeo!" Honoka exclaimed worried.
"I cannot rest until I hold you in my embrace." The students stared at Nagisa as she walked towards Honoka, their eyes still widened. "I as well!" The stage light abruptly turned on at Nagisa, but it didn't affect her she just kept on acting. "Juliet, the person I must protect..." Nagisa was cut off by herself when she faked passing out.
"Romeo! Please don't give up! Romeo!" Honoka kneeled in front of the stage stairs. Nagisa forcedly crawled herself forward. "I can't give up." Nagisa crawled herself up the stairs and extended her hands. Honoka did the same.
"Romeo, grab my hand!" Honoka leaned herself to Nagisa. "My power alone may be small, but if we combine our powers...then surely..." While talking, Honoka's and Nagisa's hands met each other and they held hands. Nagisa's mother had her hand on her lips with her other hand wrapped on the other as she smiled with Honoka's grandmother. The Vice Principal looked amazed with his mouth gaped, this was probably the best play he had ever seen, better than the other play he talked about with the Principal. The girls covered their mouths as tears almost dropped while the boys watch with interest. Honoka pulled Nagisa to her; Nagisa helped her and crawled on the stage.
"...surely we'll get to see a bright future together." Nagisa finished Honoka's sentence. They were now on the stage, close together while still holding hands. Honoka felt a thumb in her heart as Nagisa was close to her face. She spaced out as she blushed and looked at Nagisa.
"Honoka. Honoka, it's your line." Nagisa whispered to her.
"Oh, eh, eh." She rolled her eyes up to recall her lines. "Ro-Romeo!"
"Juliet!" They hugged, making Honoka's heart beat again; she had difficult to breathe as she felt Nagisa's body press against hers. The Vice Principal blinked his eyes to snap out. He looked around while smiling. He suddenly stood up and waved his arms while yelling out loud blurred words. "Miss Yoshima, did something happen?" The Principal asked as he turned over to face the girls' homeroom teacher. "I don't know...but there's no mistaking that it was a wonderful play. Don't you think so?" The teacher replied.
"I see. I see." The principal agreed. The students clapped for the two main protagonist of the play. The girls yelled out Nagisa's surname or called her 'senpai or her first name. "I don't get it, but YEAH!" some student said.
"Incredible action puts a real performance to shame. It really is a new Romeo and Juliet!" The Vice Principal criticized as he touched his glasses. "Right, principal?" he asked as he pointed his forefinger at Honoka and Nagisa. "I was sleeping at the hotel." He replied with eyes closed frown. Honoka felt light headed while she was red as tomato after she let go of Nagisa.
When the play was over, Honoka and Nagisa walked to their dressing room. Nagisa still looked nervous; she walked with her back bend and dragged her feet's. Honoka didn't pay any attention to her like she was used to; she looked down at the floor while spacing out. Nagisa began to talk but Honoka didn't listen a word what she said. When she noticed that her friend wasn't paying attention, she called out her name but it was no use. Nagisa then stopped and thought of leaving her alone. They walked to the dressing room quietly. They entered the room and Honoka undressed herself. It wasn't until she and Nagisa she sat on their knees on the pillow, that Honoka gathered up courage to start a conversation while putting her barrette on her hair, breaking the silence between them. "I'm really glad it's over. Somehow it's over." Nagisa faced besides her, her back still bent. "Ah...I didn't know what was going to happen when they came." Nagisa mentioned the Dark Zone.
Mepple crossed his arms proudly. "But, if those guys hadn't come, I don't think it would been as good-mepo." Nagisa reacted angrily and asked with harsh voice. "What did you say?"
"Porun, today you had a big role-mipo." Mipple praised Porun, making him jump with glee. “I’m telling you, I did memorize all my lines! It was just that it looked like you weren’t busy, so….” Nagisa made excuse for herself. Without warning, someone knocked the door and they all jumped, startled, except Honoka, as the little hid behind the mirror, Mepple had to drag Porun with him as he didn’t notice the knock. Opening the door, appeared Nagisa’s dream prince, Fuji-P, who congratulated them for a successful play. “Fujimura-kun!” Honoka announced. Honoka noticed how Nagisa, as usual without turning around, turned stiff whenever he was around. Somehow, whenever he was around with Nagisa, it made her heart break. She didn’t understand why; it had been like this since they first met. Next to him came his friend, Kimata, who made a peace sign as he congratulated them too. To Honoka, Kimata was like a male Nagisa, always cheerful and energetic, but she doesn’t know if he’s a glutton like her. “Misumi-san, you had amazing intensity!” Fuji-P complimented Nagisa as he turned around to his best friend.
“It didn’t even seem like you were acting.” Kimata nodded in agreement. Still stiff, Nagisa managed to utter her thanks.
“Thanks…a lot….” Fuji-P looked confused at Nagisa, wondering if she was alright. “Well, see ya later.” They waved their goodbyes. After they left, Honoka went into a deep thought as the mascots were teasing Nagisa. Luckily for her, Nagisa was too busy to chase the mascots and could not see her depressed and deep in thought. She wasn’t ready to tell what was wrong. She wasn’t ready to tell her true feelings. She nervously drummed her fingers as she was afraid of telling her true feelings would ruin their friendship. The thought of Nagisa ignoring her and looking at her like she was a pervert made her even more nervous. Honoka couldn’t hold the feelings anymore; she had to tell somebody. She lifted herself up to her feet, getting the attention of Nagisa and the mascots.
“Honoka…? Where are you going?” Nagisa asked concerned as she looked at her friend’s sad face. Honoka quickly forced herself to smile as she replied. “I-I need to go to home now. Grandma’s out of town and I need to feed Chuutaro.”
“Ok, see you tomorrow. Ah wait, don’t forget Mipple!” It was too late, she was gone. Nagisa lifted an eyebrow as she looked over to the yellow mascot who shrugged its shoulders.
Honoka looked deeply at her own hands as she thought of Nagisa’s warm hand whenever they transformed. She blushed secretly after defeating the minions of Dark Zone. Every time they held hands, her heart always beat uncontrollably, her hand would be sweating and she would be lightheaded. She always felt safe around her. Honoka made her hands go closer to her face as she blushed but she cancelled to do so and instead put it on her chest. Somehow, she could feel Nagisa’s warm and smell. “Honoka?” Honoka startled when she heard Yuriko’s voice and saw her by her classroom door with handful of papers in her arms. She panicked, but hoped that Yuriko didn’t see what she just did, it would be embarrassing. Honoka thought for a minute and managed to think clear when she stopped panicking; Yuriko is her trustful friend and she would never tell anybody if Honoka would tell her what’s on her mind. But how would she react? Would she stop being friends with her and spread it out? No! Honoka shock her head. “Yuriko…there’s something I need to talk about with you..” Honoka stuttered. They went inside the classroom, luckily, no one was present so they could talk privately without teachers or students barging in since the school was close to closing. They sat opposite on someone else’s seat, which made Honoka uncomfortable. Yuriko put the papers down while sighing in relief to have a break. When Honoka looked closely at the papers, it looked like it was the tests papers before the play. On the top Honoka read; ‘Misumi Nagisa, score 12.’ She sweat dropped as Yuriko looked at her with confusing look on her face.
“So….What is it that you want to talk about? The science project?” Honoka shock her head as a no. She inhaled deeply and was ready to confess. “Yuriko, do you…when you are…a woman…think it’s wrong…” her hands shock in fear and she stuttered in every sentence. She gulped down her mouth water as she let it out.
“To love another woman?” Yuriko stared at Honoka like she was crazy. Honoka prepared herself for to Yuriko to make fun of her as tears streamed down the cheeks and she hung her head. But the tears stopped when she didn’t hear anything from her. She looked up and, to her surprise, she smiled at her.
“Honoka, are you in love with Misumi-san?” Honoka’s heart struck, not in sorrow, in satisfaction and in guild. She looked away from Yuriko as she nodded her head. “It’s not wrong to love your friend. For me, I think it’s wonderful that homosexuals confess their love to each other.” Yuriko kept her smile. “Honoka, if you’re embarrassed of this, don’t be. You are who you are. And you have to accept that. Now, about Misumi-san? You clearly know that she’s in love with Fujimura-kun, but maybe…she has feelings for you too.” Yuriko winked to her. Honoka knew that she could count on her. She was so grateful that she couldn’t hold back the hug. As she wrapped around Yuriko, tears of happiness streamed down as she repeatedly whispered ‘Thank you’
Honoka felt much better after she talked to Yuriko, but now was the hardest thing to do; confess her love, but how? She automatically looked up to the combined with pink and yellow clouds with the sun half visible behind them. It was so beautiful; she always loved such colorful clouds. She heard familiar footsteps approaching to her, turning around it revealed that it was a big blue muscular guy with spiky who interrupted their play. Her eyes widened as the blue guy threw her lover on the ground. Nagisa was covered in bruises all over the body and blood streamed on her face. Honoka could tell that she was trying to run when Nagisa tried to stand up, but her legs were broken, obviously that the guy kept her from running away.
“Nagisa!!” Honoka ran towards her as she screamed with tears in her eyes. “Honoka….” Nagisa replied weakly. Honoka’s face was covered with shadows. “You…” she said getting the attention from the guy. “I will….NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!!!” she screamed on top of her lung as she raised her head, her eyes filled with hate. Without thinking, Honoka tried to attack him, but without the transformation, she was weak and she landed by Nagisa. Nagisa forcedly got up as her body shock. She stood on her two feet, hiding the pain by grinding her teeth. Nagisa extended her hand to Honoka while she smiled. Honoka smiled back, took her hand and rose up while Nagisa handed her Mipple.

Return to the darkness from which you came!
The villain smirked when the transformation was over. It always interested him to fight them transformed. But unlike the other fights, and since Black was too weak, the fight was too easy for the minion. Black always collapsed so it interrupted their attacks as White was concerned about her and it was easy for him to attack her. White tried to attack him once more as Black laid on the shattered ground around her where she was knocked by the villain, but she was knocked down next to Black. While on the ground, Juna summons a dark lightning bolt, which probably will kill the girls. “Finally, we will get rid of Pretty Cure!” Juna laughed satisfied.
“Black…?” White said weakly. “What is it, White?” she asked as she turned her head to her partner. “I never got the courage to tell you this, but…all these times we spent together….my feelings for you grew.”
“Know what you mean. After all these fights against the Dark Power, our strength, our friendship has grown stronger…” Black smiled as she thought back to those times. White bit her lower lip before she replied.
“No…I mean…that I love you…more than a friend….” White hoped that Black would understand, and she did as she stared at White like she was crazy. White tightly closed her eyes to prepare to loose Black, but she had a different respond that she expected. “Actually…..same here…” White couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “I covered up my love to Fuji-P senpai so I would hide my feelings towards other women; I was bullied in elementary school when I revealed that I liked other girls. I was afraid. Afraid to lose my friends if I revealed my homosexuality. Then I met you. I actually wished that I was a boy so it’d be easier to ask you out.” Black laughed at herself. She turned back to White, with serious face but a smile. “I am glad that I’m gonna die with you….Honoka.” Tears began to form into her eyes. She extended her hand to Black as Black did too.
“Me too…” As the lightning bolt headed towards them, they smiled to each other for the last time.
“STOP BULLYING THEM, POPO!!”
Porun!! They have completely forgotten about him, but their eyes turned to him where he popped out of Black’s purse and glowed. “Receive the Power of Light!” They smiled. They also forgot the upgrade that they got when Porun came to Earth. There was a hope for them both. They magically stood up and got some upgrade on their arms.
Power of Hope! Stones of Light!
Face toward the future, and press onward!
Pretty Cure Rainbow Storm!
They extended their hand at Juna but nothing came out. They pulled their arms to them as they felt more power coming through them and extended their hands again; colorful blast came out of the thing and headed toward Juna. Juna tried with all his might to stop the attack with his hands, but their strength, their feelings, was too powerful to handle so he vanished along with the blast. After he vanished, they panted heavily as they still held hands, Black collapsed onto her knees but didn’t let go of White’s hand. White kneeled at Black’s height and pressed her lips against her partner. At first, Black struggled little as she was surprised but took the kiss. Mipple smiled for their happiness sake, but Mepple was disgust and stung his tongue out while Porun imitated them, sticking his lips out and kissed the air. Mepple tried his best to cover his eyes but it was too late for the little fellow and he was going to ask a lot of questions when they get home. They transformed back to their normal form, still holding hands. The two girls looked over the peaceful city and the beautiful clouds.
“Ready to face the world, darling?” Nagisa broke the silence and turned to Honoka who nodded as they walked together home while Nagisa wrapped her arms around her lover.
