She shivered. An unwanted memory struck across her brain. The unwanted memory that made them move away.
"Chloe?"
"Chloe!"
Chloe Auriville soon regained consciousness. She was on a hospital bed wth a bandage on her forehead and tubes on her, and her hair is messy with her red ponytail still up. Her eyes opened groggily she saw everything unclear until her eyes are fully clear. She sees her father, Theodore, her younger sister, Chiara, and her two friends, Jolie and Marina.
"Oh, thank goodness you're okay." Jolie sighed.
"What happened?" Chloe asked, slowly and weakly.
"You had a car crash, lost consciousness and became badly injured." Theodore answered.
Chloe then remembers something. "Maman! Where's maman?"
Theodore slowly shook his head while Jolie and Chiara lowered their heads and Marina just didn't answer. Chloe realized what they ment that her mother, her dear mother Angelique Auriville, was... gone. Chloe just begins to cry and hugged her knees. Theodore, Marina and Jolie lowered their heads in sadness as Chiara's tears fell down to the ground knowing she feels sorry for her sister.
Chloe shook her head. She couldn't think about that fateful day right now; she needed to focus on what she was about to do. Have her first day of school at the new town, at a new country. She would meet new people, and even some rivals. She was nervous, but luckily Chiara was there to help her.
Little did they knew, this was the start of an eye-opening adventure, or should I say... nostril-opening?

It was a dark room, that was for certain. There weren't any windows to look out to see what time of day it was, nor to watch anyone outside. There wouldn't be anyone outside anyway. Through the red fog, a person with a black cloak could be seen. The cloak obscured all of her, except a pale, slender hand with long red fingernails.
A flicker in the air, and a figure teleported into the room. "Raflesina-sama?" the figure asked.
"Stankou..." the cloaked one, now known as Raflesina, said, "I heard that the prince and princess of the scent kingdom are long gone."
"Yes, Raflesina-sama. They escaped to the human world, and built a perfume shop in there, hoping to relive that old myth." Stankou answered.
"You mean... the Legendary Warriors, Pretty Cure?" Raflesina asked. She scoffed, "Don't make me laugh. They were just a tale."
"What should I do from here?" Stankou asked.
"Find the perfume shop, destroy it, and... bring the prince and princess to me. They have something I want."
"Yes, Raflesina-sama." Stankou teleported himself out of the room.
Raflesina frowned sternly behind her cloak. "The mystical Cure Scents..." she whispered to herself, "I want them... no matter what it takes..."

Something Smells Good! We Are Pretty Cure!
Kaori ga Ii ne! Futari wa Purikyua! (香りがいいね！ふたりはプリキュア！)
Star Class, 8th grade. This was it. Chloe sighed and walked up to her seat. She couldn't believe it; she and Chiara wouldn't be on the same class for once. After she packed up her stuff, Chloe adjusted her hair and looked outside the window. Her green eyes flickered all the way down, to see the rose bush that would be beside her if it wasn't for the wall separating them. Just then, someone tapped her shoulder. Chloe turned around to the seat beside hers.
"Hey there." the purplenette beside Chloe smirked.
Chloe double-blinked. "I haven't seen you before." she said.
The purplenette rolled her eyes. "Obviously. Then you must be the new girl." she held out her hand for Chloe to shake, "Mayonaka Ayameko, but close friends call me Ayamii. Captain of the baseball team."
Chloe slowly smiled and shook Ayameko's hand. "Bonjour! Auriville Chloe! Nice to meet you, Ayamii-san!"
Ayameko stammered. "You're from France?" she asked. Chloe nodded. She then spotted someone behind Ayameko; an orange-haired girl wearing orange glasses and finishing her homework. "Hey, who's that?" the cherry-redhead asked in curiousity.
"Mitsukawa Hanae. The nerdiest girl in class." Ayameko replied, uninterestedly. Hanae stopped in her tracks and yelled to the purplenette, "I heard that!"
"Ah, Hana-tan! Bonjour!" Chloe smiled, waving to the meganekko.
Hanae smiled, stood up from her seat and walked up to Chloe. "Oh, you must be the new student from France! Auriville Chiara, right?"
Chloe shook her head. "No, I'm Chloe. Chiara is my sister." she answered.
"Oh, you mean the blondie on the Moon Class?" Hanae asked, "I spoke to her once you guys arrived. She's pretty nice!" The mikan-haired girl giggled.
Ayameko turned to the new girl, smirking once again. "Girl, you're definetly gonna fit in here." the purplenette said.
"And bring some dazzling French flair to this place!" Hanae agreed. Chloe smiled. Things certainly turned out to be sugar-sweet for her.
Later, it was lunchtime. "Itadakimasu!" Ayameko could be heard cheering loudly as she took a bite out of her chocolate pudding. Chloe looked surprised as her ponytail flicked up. Hanae, on the other hand, just smiled. Ever since she started being Ayameko's classmate, that is, at kindergarden, she always knew the purplenette was obsessed with pudding, and would drool over any and every kind of pudding that met her blue eyes.
Chloe then stood up and ran up to a crowd that was gathering around a table. A greenhead upperclassman had finished her banana split. "Hmm. Nice." the greenhead said coolly.
A chorus of "oooooooh"s came from the rest of the students. Chloe wondered why this certain girl made everyone look so curious. Maybe it was because she was the only girl in the school with a mole on her cheek.
Ayameko and Hanae ran up to her in confusion. "Oh. It's just good old Torino Ikuko-sempai." Hanae smiled, blushing a little.
"Torino Ikuko?" asked Chloe in curiousity.
"An upperclassman. Sixteen-years-old, currently in second grade of Oriyama High School. She's pretty rich, so she's one of the most popular upperclassmen here." Ayameko explained.
"Wow. That seems pretty cool!" Chloe smiled, running up to the crowd and pushing some random students aside. Ayameko and Hanae both looked shocked. They couldn't believe that Chloe was actually going to try talking to Torino Ikuko!
"Iku-sempai!" the redhead called when she finally reached the upperclassman.
"Hmm?" Ikuko asked standing up. As expected, the latter was actually taller than the former, but what Chloe was surprised the most about was her... um... growth.
"Have you heard of me yet?" Chloe asked, holding out her hand, "I'm Auriville Chloe, 14-years-old, 8th grade underclassman, or whatever it's called, from the Star Class."
"Seems like you already know me." Ikuko shook Chloe's hand as the older one stared at the cherry-redhead's classmates. Ayameko and Hanae just smiled goofily.
Ikuko finished shaking Chloe's hand and walked off to her class. "See ya, Auriville." the greenhead replied, walking off.
Chloe stared at her in awe. "Kakkoi..." she muttered.
After school, the sisters were heading home and telling each other about how each one's first school day have been. Chiara had a big smile on her face. "Hey, grand-soeur?" she said to her sister.
"What?" asked Chloe.
"I met this really cute guy in my class today! His name is Ichiyou Meguo! He's soooo funny!" Chiara cheered.
Chloe giggled. "I see that you liked him a lot." she smiled.
The blonde sister nodded excitedly in agreedment. They suddenly stopped in their tracks to see a strange building. There was a heart-shaped sign there which said 'Pretty and Preppy - Go Get Your Fragances Here!', with a small piece of paper attached to it saying 'Never Had Customers'. Chiara looked curious.
"This shop looks interesting! Let's see what's inside!" Chiara grinned and ran to the shop.
"Petit-soeur, come back here!" Chloe shouted, following her 13-year-old sister.
The shop's door opened slowly as the Auriville sisters walked in. It was all dark and spooky, but luckily the colorful perfume bottles lightened up the place, making it look like it was bathed in rainbow light, as Chloe and Chiara walked around in awe.
Chloe suddenly spotted something on the balcony. A set of five bottles, each one in a different color: pink, yellow, purple, orange, and green. "Petit-soeur, look!" Chloe called her blonde sister as the two walked up to the balcony.
Chiara looked curiously at the bottles. "These look really good." Chiara smiled, pointing to a sign next to the bottles and reading it, "And look! 'Free trial. You'll get happiness and true love soon'."
Chloe glanced at her sister and shrugged. "Well, why not?" She took the pink bottle and opened it, feeling the scent of roses come up to her nose. The cherry-redhead smiled warmly.
"Ah~ What an amazing scent..." Chloe said in pure joy.
"Indeed..." Chiara smiled wide as she felt the vanilla scent from the yellow bottle.
Suddenly, a tiny voice's shout interrupted their joyful, peaceful moment. "We did it! We found them!"
The two sisters looked confused. "Who said that?" Chloe asked. They turned around to see what looked like a small creature dancing around in joy. He appeared to a be a standard chibi skunk with purple eyes, but his fur was a light violet with a pink stripe going down his tail, a pink furry chest, and a pink tuft of hair up at his head.
"Hooray! Hooray! Happy birthday to us!" the skunk cheered. Chloe sweatdropped; he appeared to be even more free-wheelin' than Chiara herself.
"Lavvie! It's not our birthday yet, desu!" another tiny voice, this time female-sounding, shouted. Out from the shadows came another chibi skunk, a female one, with dark pink eyes and the male one (apparently named Lavvie)'s color scheme but reversed. She also wore two strands of her fur in two pigtails with magenta ribbons.
"Sorry, Lotus-chan." Lavvie frowned to the female skunk, apparently named Lotus, as he pointed to Chloe and Chiara. Lotus turned around and gasped. "Oh my goodness, desu."
(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.)
"Cutie Cure?" Chloe asked confusedly, "What's that?"
"First of all, it's Pretty Cure, desu," Lotus explained, "And second, they were the legendary warriors that saved the Scent Kingdom years ago, from a terrible menace, desu. Now that the two of you smelled two of the mystical Cure Scents, you are now able to become two of the legendary Pretty Cures, desu."
Lavvie nodded. He turned to Chloe and said, "Chloe Auriville, you have the power to become the pink rose cure, Cure Rosa." He then turned to Chiara and added, "And Chiara Auriville, you have the power to become the yellow vanilla cure, Cure Vanilla."
"Sugooooi..." Chiara said in awe.
"So what's the evil we have to defeat?" Chloe asked.
Before Lotus could answer, the four heard screams coming from outside. They ran out of the store to see people running away frightened.
"What's going on?" Chloe asked. She, her sister, and the two skunks looked up to see what looked like a mixture between a garbage can and a robot. On the top of its metal-plated head, there was a yellow flower with pointy petals and a feline-looking eye on the middle.
"Ylang-Ylang!" the monster shouted what was apparently its name.
Watching the scene from a rooftop was a man who looked like he was in his late 20's, with grey skin and wearing an armor that looked like it was made from stinky autumn leaves. This was Stankou from earlier.
He exhaled in and out and grinned evily. "Ah~ I love this scent of sadness and despair." he took out a bottle and filled it with a stinky scent, "As soon as the Scries perfume is finished, the Angelic Dandelion will have to appear! And soon, the Karlix organization will rule the whole world!"
Back with our heroines, Chiara asked frightened, "What will we do now?"
Lavvie threw some heart-shaped perfume bottles to the Auriville sisters. Chloe's was wrapped with a pink ribbon, while Chiara's was wrapped with a yellow one. "Transform using these CureBottles!" he shouted.
The words seemed to have somehow opped into their heads, but they knew what to do, they knew what to say.
"Pretty Cure's Scent of Love! Transmutation, Now!"
The two sisters pressed the button on each of their CureBottles twice. They felt vibrations throughout them, they felt more powerful, smarter, they felt different. Like nothing else they ever felt. After a burst of pink and yellow light, the two girls, in new outfits, landed on their feet.
"In the Name of the Pink Rose, I am Cure Rosa!"
"In the Name of the Yellow Vanilla Flower, I am Cure Vanilla!"
Stankou gasped in shock. "It can't be!" he shouted, "Raflesina-sama said they were a just myth!"
But in fact, they weren't after all. They were real. The two Pretty Cures stood there bravely, their hair flowing on the wind. They jumped up and gave the Ylang-Ylang a hard kick. Chiara, or should I say, Vanilla fluttered back to the ground and grabbed the monster's leg as she threw it to the ground like a wrestler would do.
"Go! Go! Go, Pretty Cure!" Lavvie and Lotus cheered waving pink and yellow pompons.
Suddenly, the monster stretched out its arm and grabbed Chlo-er-Rosa, holding her tight. "Grand-soeur!" shouted Vanilla.
She clapped her hands once, then stretched out her arms and a giant megaphone made of yellow light appeared on her hands. "Attention please! With the Yellow Scent of Love, take this!" she shouted through the megaphone, and finally called, "Pretty Cure Vanilla Echo!"
As she shouted the last phrase, yellow soundwaves came out of the megaphone straight to the Ylang-Ylang, making it cover its ears and let go of Rosa. The pink-clad Cure turned to her sister, "Nice one, petit-soeur."
"Merci! Now you finish off that monster!" Vanilla replied after she made the megaphone dissapear.
Rosa nodded and looked at the monster fiercely. She clapped her hands once and crossed them like an X in front of her chest before uncrossing them as she held a pink ball of light and said, "With the Pink Scent of Grace, take this!" she then twirled around and finally shot the ball at the monster as she shouted, "Pretty Cure Rosa Rhapsody!"
As the ball of light headed straight to the monster, it soon became shaped like a giant humming bird and went really fast, until... BAM! It created a large hole in the Ylang-Ylang. It started glowing pink and soon, the yellow flower on top of it turned into dust and was blown away, while the rest of the monster turned into an average garbage can.
Rosa landed on the ground on her feet and hi-5ed Vanilla. They have to admit, it sure is great to be a Pretty Cure!
Later, at night, after turning back to normal and going home, the Auriville sisters were just chatting when Theodore opened their bedroom's door. "Girls!" he called, "You've got some special visitors!"
Two boys, a brown-haired one and a bluish-purple haired one, entered the room, although the brown-haired boy seemed shorter than the other one. He was the boy Chiara had mentioned earlier, Ichiyou Meguo, while the bluish-purple haired one was his older brother, Ichiyou Hakuo.
"Yoooo, Chiara-chan!" Meguo cheered as he glomped Chiara. The blonde laughed joyfully, "Hey there, Megu-kun!"
Chloe looked at them awkwardly. "So this is the Ichiyou Meguo you told me about, right?" she asked sheepishly.
Meguo let go of Chiara and stood up as he shook Chloe's hand, making her go up and down as he said, "Ichiyou Meguozaki at your service, missy!" he pointed to Hakuo, "And that's my nii-san, Hakuo!"
He then let go of a dizzy Chloe, who told him, "Whoa. I like that handshake of yours." She then walked up to Hakuo, "Chiara haven't told me about you, Hakuo-san."
Hakuo just chuckled, "It's okay, Chloe. My brother's always like that. Well, I hope you enjoy living here at Oriyama." He patted the cherry-redhead's head and grabbed Meguo's hand as the two left the room and Hakuo waved goodbye.
Chloe waved back before the door closed shut. The pink rose Cure blushed and sighed happily. But the adventures were just starting...
