Steampunk Precure

Stories and the New Year

"Are you sure you want us over?" Gina quizzically inquired.

"Absolutely," Ako assured her. "My father wants to introduce you three to the family."

"I'm sure my parents won't mind letting me attend." Ayako shrugged.

"I don't have any plans for the day and I would like to meet your family." Fuyumi looked up from her work.

"Still working on the plans for the wedding?" Ayako shook her head with a smile.

"It is my wedding and I want everything to be perfect." Fuyumi snapped her fingers.

"I wouldn't say everything at weddings goes smoothly." Gina rolled her eyes.

"What makes you say that?" Fuyumi asks, intrigued.

"My parents told me they and the guests saw pigeons do the nasty on the wedding cake and had to get rid of it so they had no cake to cut." Gina shivered. "It disturbs me just saying it thinking about the visual."

"That tops what happened at my parent's wedding." Ako rubbed her arms.

"What happened at their wedding?" Ayako grimaced.

"They told me about how when they were garter removal, a child went to tackle my father away and he ended up ripping the garter clean off my mothers leg which caused a split to open up and she had to be taken to the Emergency Room." Ako shook her head. "My mother still has the scar to prove it happened when she tells the story."

"My parents said one of the guests got pretty drunk at the wedding and they ended up spilling an entire bottle of wine down the front of my mothers wedding dress." Ayako sunk into the couch. "It was so bad they still have it and show it off when people think their lying."

"Did your parents tell you stories about their wedding, Fuyumi?" Ako questioned.

"I don't think they told me any stories and I have been trapped for quite some time, so it is possible I have forgotten them anyway," Fuyumi answered. "Even if I did remember a story they told me, I don't think the stories would be interesting to tell."

"That's a bummer." Ako leaned forward and dramatically fell back into the couch. "I was so ready to hear more stories."

"It can't be helped, Ako." Gina soothed. "At least we will get to tell stories about Fuyumi's wedding to our children."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ako sighed.

"Naturally." Gina flicked her hair.

"I should get home before my parents worry." Ako stood up. "I'll see you guys on New Year's Eve."

"See you then." The others waved as Ayako escorted her out.

"We should head to bed," Fuyumi suggested. "We have got a lot to do tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Ayako and Gina got ready for bed.

New Year's Eve was here along with Fuyumi, Ayako, and Gina waiting out on the sidewalk for Ako to drive with her family.

"There they are," Gina announced as she pointed to the car coming down the road.

"About time." Ayako exasperated as the car pulled up to them.

"Hello, girls." Ako's father greeted. "There is room in the back if you want to get in so we can head off."

"Okie Dokie." Gina saluted.

The car was on the road not long after they got settled in and it was going to be quite a drive to the New Year's Eve party. Arriving at the place of said party, the group parted ways after introductions, and Ako, along with the girls, had to help babysit the young ones so the adults could do what they wanted and socialize.

"What do you all want to play?" Fuyumi asked the children.

"Hide and seek." they cheered.

"We'll count and you all hide," Ako suggested.

"Okay." the children exclaimed.

"Ready . . . go!" Ayako announced as she and the girls started counting.

The girls finished counting and went in search for the children who had managed to find some interesting places to hide. As they were going to start a new round of hide and seek, banging could be heard from down the street and the girls ran from the house after asking one of the other teens to find the hiding children.

"Let's get this over with." Ako sighed.

Clicking the pen and drawing on-air, Ayako got a high waisted layered skirt and a long sleeve shirt that went around below her shoulders. Placing her feet into a circle gave her mid-knee boots and stockings.

Long ponytails were made in her hair mid-back length garnet hair with the change to more of the rose tint. A top hat on a hairband soon followed and the pen made room in a bag which manifested from it.

She drew a square with her feet and as it glowed, she was given high heeled ankle boots and leggings.

A long ponytail was made in her short deep orange hair with the change to more of the lighter tint of the color, which also gave her a fringe. A watch at the starting point of the ponytail soon followed and the pen made room in a bag which manifested from it.

Clicking the pen and drawing on-air, Ako got a dress with a strap wrapped around the left shoulder and the skirt of the dress that ended midthigh and fabric that was split at the belly that wrapped around her. She drew a diamond with her feet and as it glowed, she was given heeled knee-high boots and thigh-high fishnets.

A long ponytail was made with her deep purple hair with the change to more of the lighter tint of the color, which went to her right. A gear was at the start of the ponytail and bat wings manifested on her back which was soon followed the pen making room in a bag manifested from it.

Clicking the pen and drawing on-air, Fuyumi got an asymmetrical skirt and a bodice that shaped her torso and chest. Placing her feet into a star gave her ankle boots and asymmetrical socks.

A long ponytail was made in her hair mid-back length grey hair with the change to more of the lighter tint. A crown was on her head soon followed and the pen made room in a bag which manifested from it.

"May these wings help me to fly in the light of love. Cure Butterfly!"

"The clock that forever winds forwards and backward. Cure Watch!"

"May these wings guide me through the darkness and into the light of day. Cure Bat!"

"The stains on a robot aren't all that. Cure Rust!"

"As the lights gather, may the past and future come together. Steampunk Precure!"

"Welcome, ladies." Dan bowed. "Care to fight?"

"Why do you think we transformed?" Bat shuffle about. "Of course we want to fight."

"Okay." Dan rolled his eyes. "Daimu, get them."

Jumping and dodging the Daimu, the group wanted to not make the fight drag out and found an opportunity to get rid of the monster.

"Let's go, girls." Bat declared.

"Right." they agreed.

"Precure! Change Ship!"

With their outfits changing to a creamy white with their colors as accents, the trio stood tall and looked ahead.

"Our synced light is to save you. Precure! Gear Change!"

"Let's get back to the party," Ako said after de-transforming.

The party went off without a hitch and as everyone was counting down to the New Year, everyone cheered when it came and the group of four promised to defeat their enemy in the coming year and to hopefully attend Fuyumi's wedding.
