Work Text:
Catalina de Aragon was stuck at home. It was raining, the cousins went to the mall, Cathy went to the library, and Anna went to the gym. The mall was a cousin's only trip, and a headache stopped her from joining the other two. London rains, she knows this, but usually on a day like this, she’d take a walk to get some air to fix her headache, but can't do that, it's raining. Usually, during the rain, Anne is the most chaotic in the house, and she has to clean up her mess, but she’s with her cousins at the mall. Usually, on a rainy day with no Anne, she’d read, but she can't do that, she has a headache. So here she is, waiting for one of these three factors to change. She didn’t take into account another possibility.
A gateway, well portal, to another world opening up and sucking her in.
Of course, why would she be prepared for that? But here she is, hanging onto the couch she was sitting on, screaming every profanity there is... in Spanish, it is better left untyped what she said, just imagine the cuss word song but in Spanish. She loses grip after two minutes, yeah going with Anna would be a massive mistake, and she falls in the portal. She falls in the portal and launches into a wall.
Once she falls on her knees because of gravity that feels more floaty and pushes herself up, she looks around the area. She sees that it looks like a kitchen-like area? She mumbles and tries to walk, the gravity needs adapting to, but she manages, and tries to leave the kitchen before someone walks in.
Catilina backs up a bit, the girl looks younger than herself, and has deep purple hair. Her outfit was formal in style and had its main part be a gray purple and white dress.
“Who are you?” Was all the girl could get out.
“Catilina de Aragon,” Catilina said, trying to be as formal as possible, her mind was a rush of confusion, but she had to be formal now.
“...One of Henr-”
“Yes, please don't refer to me like that.”
“Okay, sorry. My name is Madoka.”
“Do you know where we are?”
“AI.”
“What do you mean?”
“Lala’s ship.”
“Who’s Lala?”
“...oh, I’ll bring you to her in a bit. How did you get here?”
“I had,” Ow. It's still there, “Correction, have a headache, it was raining, I was stuck inside, and a portal I think opened up, I didn’t manage to see it.”
“Oh, follow me.” Madoka started walking out of the area, and Catilina followed, she was scared but wanted to seem elegant.
In an area she could describe as a living room, a girl was sitting in a chair. She assumed this girl was Lala, who had green hair, antennae, pointed ears, green hair with two other color stripes, and strange clothes. Madoka walked over to her, and they made conversation before both walked over to her.
“Hello, I heard from Madoka who you are and what happened ~lun,” The girl said, not monotone, but she might as well be.
“Oh,” Catilina said, that was all she could muster.
“My name is Lala ~lun.”
“Catalina, although you already know that”
And with that, Madoka walked away.
“Going to see Elena ~lun?” Lala asked, looking at Madoka.
“Yeah,” Madoka said, walking down the hall.
“If Yuni was awake, she would make a sex joke ~lun.”
“Oh, who’s Elena and Yuni?”
“Elena and Yuni are two of Madoka and I’s friends ~lun, Yuni is taking a cat nap ~lun.”
“Okay… Are there any more of you?”
“Yes, there is also-”
Lala is interrupted by someone yelling from down the hall, “GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!”
“Hikaru ~lun…” Lala sighs, “Do you want to come to see what happened ~lun?”
“Sure…” Catilina says, both start walking to another room, which looked like a game room, a girl with two pink pigtails, she seemed young and happy, except for two things, the floating controller, which was probably thrown, and the fact Doom Eternal, albeit paused, was on the screen.
“I told you, Hikaru,” Lala said, “I told you to stop playing fucking Doom ~lun!”
“Lala I’m usually good!” Hikaru says, and all both Lala and Catilina can give is a facepalm.
“I know that level,” Catilina sighs, “That's level two.”
“Shut up! Wait, who are you?” Hikaru asks.
“Catilina.”
“I’m Hikaru!” Woah, tonal shift, Hikaru.
“She knows ~lun.”
Hikaru sighs happily, and Catilina walks over to the controller, grabbing it.
Hikaru sees this, saying, “Give that back!”
“Not until you promise to stop playing Doom,” Catilina said.
“Okay…” Hikaru says, Lala giggles at that. Catilina closes the game and gives the controller back. Hikaru sighs and loads up Minecraft. However, another girl, who had blue hair in braids and cat features walks in.
“Hello, Yuni ~lun…”
“Hey, why is Hikaru playing Minecraft ~nya? She only plays that when she’s been told off ~nya.”
“She has,” Catilina said.
“Did she fail at level two of Doom… again ~nya?”
“Hey!” Hikaru said.
“Yes ~lun.”
“Where are Madoka and Elena, f-”
“No Yuni,” Catilina says, “I think.”
“They aren’t ~lun. There’d be more noise.”
“I’m still going, and I'm taking one of you three randomly ~nya!”
All three don't wanna be taken, and Yuni drags Catilina to another room.
Catilina snarkily asks, “I can walk, you know?”
“Yeah ~nya,” Yuni says, kicking down one of the doors, “You are fucking ~nya!”
Inside the room, Madoka, and a girl with yellow hair and casual clothes who Catilina assumed was Elena, was reading.
“Really?” Maybe Elena said, “Why didn’t you tell me I would have put my book down.” She looked at Madoka when she said that, and Catilina and Madoka giggled. Maybe Elena said, “Also, I didn’t know this Catilina person was a mother Yuni wants to fuck.”
“SHUT UP ~NYA! ESPECIALLY YOU MO-” And then any laughing stopped. All the noise in the room stopped for a minute.
“Guess I adopted another daughter,” Catilina said, lightening the mood, well trying too.
“Why did my brain even go to that ~nya?” Yuni asked herself.
“Then,” Madoka said, “Might as well adopt all of us.”
“I will then,” Catilina said.
And with that, Catilina walks back to the game room, Madoka and Maybe Elena behind her, where Hikaru and Lala are playing Sonic 3. All three sat in some of the seats and watched them. Hikaru threw the controller, because of dying to a spike trap, and it spun and… Hit her in the back of the head. Both look at her, Lala pauses the game, Catilina giggles while walking over to help.
“Ow ow ow,” Hikaru says.
Lala grabs the controller, Catilina rubs the back of Hikaru’s head, Madoka gets an ice pack from a nearby freezer, and Maybe Elena grabs a pillow. Hikaru starts laughing it off, causing the other four to start laughing too. Yuni walks into the room, well, runs in.
“I’M GONNA MAKE A MISTAKE ~NYA!” Yuni yells.
“WHAT THE FUCK?” Hikaru, Madoka, Maybe Elena, and Catilina yell, Lala yells it too, but with an additional “~lun”.
“I’M GONNA TEMPT A DEMON ~NYA” And with that, she runs out of the room.
“Wat” Was all Hikaru could muster before all 5 realized how bad this was.
“wAIT YUNI NO ~LUN!” Lala screamed, before chasing the cat out of the room. The others followed, all trying to stop Yuni.
But they were too fucking late.
Yuni had already started messing with the demon… And it was no regular demon, but the soul of Henry the fucking Eighth. Catilina immediately recoiled at this.
Maybe Elena whispered to her, “if you want to hide, the couch is pulled out.”
Catilina nodded, and although she seemed less elegant at this moment, right now she didn’t care, she hid behind the couch.
The other four ran up to Yuni, holding fancy pens. All nodded at each other.
All five yelled, “Star Color Pendant! Color Charge!” And something happened, a magical girl transformation with a song!
A girl that looked like a powered-up Hikaru landed, “The twinkling star that shines throughout the universe! Cure Star!”
Again, but this time with Lala, “The milky way stretching across the heavens! Cure Milky!”
With Maybe Elena, “Light up the sky! With sparkling heat! Cure Soleil!”
With Madoka, “Light up the night sky! With the secretive moonlight! Cure Selene!”
And Yuni, “The rainbow spectrum lighting up the galaxy! Cure Cosmo!”
They all jumped up together to form a star with their fingers, before landing again, “Star Twinkle Pretty Cure!”
“Star Twinkle… Pretty Cure? Are my newly adopted daughters, magical girls?” Catilina thought before something hurt, “Why did I let Anne make my tea… She put in too much honey! That's why I have a headache now- Wait, why am I thinking about that and not the fact my new daughters could die-”
The girls got slapped at, launching them onto the couch, how convenient- Annnnnd Star landed on Catalina's head, never mind. The four who did land on the couch got off the couch, while Star rolled off it, and then got up. Now Catilina had an even worse headache. The five jumped up, and quintuple kicked him. Milky and Cosmo punted him from there.
Soleil and Selene took another approach. Soleil created a fire soccer ball, and yelled “Soleil Shoot!”, while Selene created a bow, and yelled, “Selene Shoot!” Both fired a fireball and an ice arrow respectively, and all five girls laned after the attacks hit.
“Everyone!” Star yelled, with everyone else nodding.
The girls started reciting something with a ghost unicorn. Ok, they were using their purifying attack.
The girls changed outfits, and yelled “Pretty Cure! Star Twinkle Imagination!” Before the unicorn fired the star at that asshole, who I only said my name once and won’t again, who gets purified.
Catilina walked out from behind the couch, and the girls detransformed and talked to each other for a bit before she walked over. A portal that did not want to drag Catilina in opened.
“I guess you have to go home?” Hikaru asked, Catilina nodded, “I hope to see you soon!”
The others said variations on “bye”, except for Yuni, who gave her a phone number before Catilina walked in.
When Catilina reached her home, it still seemed like something happened in the house, like Anne wreaked chaos, although she assumed that because the couch was moved, it was from her hanging on for dear life earlier. As soon as she walked over to try pushing it back, the door opened, and her goddaughter, Cathy Parr, walked in.
“Madrina, what happened?” That was all Cathy could say.
“A lot.”
“Can you tell me?”
“Of course.” Catilina sighed and pushed the couch in.
And that's the story of how Star☆Twinkle Pretty Cure was adopted by Catilina de Aragon.
