You and Idol PreCure Ep22 Review

 I like that the episode starts with all five of the idols welcoming you into the show before we get a brief recap. Also we're almost at the half way mark of the series as the show is slated for 48 to 50 episodes I believe. 

We see the girls studying as white fairy eats donuts. Blue is concerned that Mero called them rivals. Pink says they can just become friends and that'll solve it. Mero shows up asking white fairy why she's always finding her with the others. White fairy says it's because the girls are there and that there's always yummy food.

Mr. Tanaka comes up as says a new job from Pretty Holic has come in for the girls. It's a rival showdown between the three cures and ZukyunKiss. 

After the opening we have the whole cast enter the pretty holic store. I like that purple hasn't met the store manager yet and is slightly confused that the others know her. Her formal way of introducing herself is so cute. I also find it precious that Mero is in the bag with White fairy. Pink says Mero is their new Mascots. 

The store manager explains the campaign to them and shows them the new products to represent ZukyunKiss. Later at Pink's house in their sitting area they discuss if they will agree with the campaign. The girls think it will be fun. Puri (White Fairy) cheers for Cure Idol as Mero wants to prove her and Puri are better. Mr. Tanaka will let the Pretty Holic company know that they agree it. 

At the event, they see that people can write messages to the Idols on a board. Pink and Blue get approached by fans wanting to know which idol is their fav. Purple grabs them so they can retreat. The three return home and tell them how the event is going. 

Mero says of course ZukyunKiss will win. They're bettere than Idol PreCure. This ignites of fire in Purple and the two argue about who is better. Purple being a huge fan of Blue and Pink's cure forms. Puri watches confused and slightly amused while Pink and Blue are a tad nervous. Puri says she'll just Idol PreCure which greatly upsets Mero.

Mero wonders how she can get Puri to pay attention to her and realizes she can do it through the stomach. She challenges them to a cooking battle that Puri will judge. Blue is confused by the cooking battle but Purple and Pink are reared up and ready to go. They have one week to prepare.

The trio has a meeting to decide what to make. Puri really loves octopus sausages. Which is part of why I nicknamed her Glizzy Globber with my Hubby. Blue says they should add other dishes and make a special menu.

Cut to Mero amongst several cook books stirring a giant metal pot. Mr. Tanaka comes over holding a napkin over his mouth. Mero offers him a taste and he says he'll pass. 

Cut to the Trio. They've made a spaghetti that they'll top with an omelette and draw a picture on. Pink attempts to draw Puri and Mero on it, but it's not that great. 

Cut to Mero. Mr. Tanaka now has a full face mask on going you can ask for help and any time. You can also back out. Mero is still cooking in the big silver pot and has a basket of watermelon and fish next to her. 

Cut to the Trio. Purple shows the girls her fav dish which is Rice balls. She really likes the ones made by her grandma. I'm getting flash backs to Delicious Party PreCure with this one. They ask what Blue's fav dish is and she pulls out a banana. Blue, my sweet girl, a banana is a snack. Not a meal or a dish. But I love you anyway you quirky child. Also her real name is Nana. So I'm not sure if the banana is a joke or not.

Cut to Mero again. She's adding spices to this giant pot and Mr. Tanaka now has a gas mask on.

These back and forth scenes are great. It's a great juxtaposition between the two. 

After the eyecatch we see the Trio with their dish under a cloche. It's finally the day of the cooking battle. The fairies leave Mr. Tanaka's house with him to Pink's house.

Our lanky bad dude sees a woman who is happy that the eggs were on sale so she could buy a lot and he decides to make her the monster of the day. Boo! Dude do you have any idea how expensive eggs are right now? We got bird flu and all this and that driving up the prices. and you got the audacity to be made at this woman for being sparkly and happy from getting a good deal and being able to buy lots. You're a jerk. Monster is an egg with a crack hole in the center, the yellow pompadour, green glasses, and the gloves and boots. 

Puri feels a shudder and Mero instructs Mr. Tanaka to take care of her stuff. The two transform. I'm curious when we'll get to see their base human forms in the show. But we've got plenty of time for that. 

The monster spits grey and black eggs as an attack. 

Kiss uses Kiss Shock and Zukyun gives it a good kick afterwards. The egg monster sheds it's grey shell for a black one with no opening and begins bouncing to crush stuff. Their attacks bounce off it. We then see the trio transform. The group struggle to damage the monster. Cure Idol notices the hole it briefly got stuck in earlier and begins trying to lure it into it. Cure Wink and Cure Kyun Kyun realize and help. Once the monster is in the hole, Zukyun and Kiss do the song defeat attack. The ribbon is a mint green. 

We cut to the cooking battle with everyone. Mero unveils her pot and it's a full spread of different delicious looking food. Burgers, a big prawn of some sort in a soup, melon slices with something pink like a meat in the center, crab sausages, a fondue fountain with strawberries and other stuff, a plate with just meat and lettuce.  Mr. Tanaka is shocked, "How did this come out of that pot?" Dude has been suffering what the scent of that pot for days. Puri says it's delicious and that the others should try some. They take a bit and Blue does some silly bit of how it taste good. Mero says Blue has taste.

It's the trio's turn to present their dish. It's the spaghetti with an omeltte on top, three rice balls with the seaweed cut into cute shapes. A heart, a music note, and a bow. A banana and 2 octopus sausages. 

Puri tells Mero to try one as she hands her one the of the Octopus Sausages. Puri says it's delicious as she pulls out two cheering wands. Mero does another this food is great poems like Blue. Blue is impressed by it but Pink and Purple don't get it. 

Mero is making a dreaming look as Puri asks if she likes it. Mero goes, "It's not bad." Our poor little tsundere. Just admit you like it. 

After the food is finished by everyone, Mr. Tanaka asks Puri to pick a winner. Puri says it was all yummy so everyone wins. So it's a tie. 

Mero is sad that her cooking didn't win. She wonders if Puri likes the Idol Precure more after all. At a photoshoot as the cures, all of them are called in but Kiss stays sitting at the table sad. Zukyun comes to get her and says it's time for them to do their job. This makes her so happy.

As the group is walking back in their real forms, Pink asks why they get so mature when they transform. They respond they don't know. Blue and Purple tease Mero a bit. 

We get a shot of Kaito Hibiki watching fans gather around the posters of the cures. I feel like we haven't seen him in a bit. So I wonder what he'll be doing next episode. We get a new ending theme with all five of the cures! Yay~! New ending song!

I knew from the preview last week that this would be an idol show down, but seeing it turn into a cooking battle was cute. I still wanna know what Mero gave away for her wish. and what her wish was. This episode was fun and enjoyable. A great display of the characters themselves. I give it an A rank. 

You and Idol Precure Ep21 review

 You and Idol Precure Ep21 review

The episode starts with Cure Idol having a cold. Cure Wink and Cure Kyun Kyun try to cheer her up with cake, but she's still sad. After they leave, Cure Idol begins sobbing so loud about White fairy that her mom overhears in the hallway. Truly heart breaking. 

Meanwhile, White fairy is like what did I forget. I want to remember. 

Cure Wink and Kyun Kyun visit the fairies' house to ask Pink fairy what it would take for white fairy to remember and she's like it won't happen without a miracle. After they leave, pink fairy doesn't like her sisssy being sad. So she says she'll help her remember. 

I question this as it's obvious to me that she doesn't want white fairy to remember.

The next day, Cure Idol is still sad at breakfast but her fever has gone down. She pours a bunch of milk on the table while lost in thought. Her dad says that making mistakes is a kid's job. So make as many as a child so you don't make them as an adult. He jokes that so long as she doesn't make the same mistake starting now, she'll be fine. This feels Cure Idol with hope and a great idea. Her sudden pick me up in mood confuses him but the mom gets it. Mom even thanks the dad as the dad is still confused.

Pink fairy has gathered a bunch of the fortune telling gummies for her and white fairy to open. She explains they might pull the miracle fortune gummy and that'll help white fairy regain her memories. As white fairy opens the first one, Cure Idol bangs on the door and barges in. She states they can make new memories starting now. As the two are talking, are lanky bad guy shows up and turns white fairy into the monster of the day.

I like that lanky bad dude doesn't want to go to work. But I'm so upset that he turned the white fairy into the monster of the week. He deserved that hot sauce laced drink earlier in the episode. Monster of the week is based off of the cheering heart light. 

Tanaka, the manager, wakes up from the racket and sees the monster and heads out to get Cure Wink and Cure Kyun Kyun. Tanaka's pjs in human form are very cute. 

Monster can shoot beams that trap things in crystal. Trapping pink fairy and Cure Idol's transformation item. 

Cure Idol, however, will not give up. She is the lead magical girl in this season and the lead is no QUITER! It's been written within the code or bylaws of the Magical Girl genre or something. After all, if they quit, the show won't go on. She begins singing in an attempt to reach white fairy and by the power of love, magic, and friendship, and Deus ex Machina or whatever, it works. 

White Fairy flies out of the monster and hugs Cure Idol. The transformation item and pink fairy are now free from their crystal prisms, however, Monster of the week is still here and now out of control.

The three cures transform. However, instead of weakening with punches, Zukyun and Kiss go straight to the stage performance attack. Monster defeated. Zukyun now has her light back. 

Lanky bad guys is upset but is scared away by Cure Kyun Kyun's laser. 

White fairy says she remembered Cure Idol. Shocking the others.  Cure Idol begins sobbing from joy. 

Pink fairy is standing back going, "A Miracle happened. But it should have been me who recused Sissy." Pink fairy, I'm not liking you right now. You know, loving someone means supporting their choices right? Not trying to be the only one in their world. Also, WHAT DID YOU GIVE UP?! She has her memories. She's still obsessed with white fairy. So what did she have to give up to become a PreCure? The queen said we found find out in due time. Pink fairy told white fairy it was a secret. She's supposed to give up her most precious thing. So what is that? 

As the trio and white fairy are going let's be precure together. The five of us. See they included Pink fairy in the count. Pink fairy is like, "NO! Don't make decisions without me." Which is a fair point. But it was posed as a question. Pink Fairy proclaims her and white fairy and duo and the Trio's rival. And then End Credits.

I like the episode. It got me yelling and crying at the screen. I'd give it an A Rank. 

Should I be concerned?” Charmy whispered

“Should I be concerned?” Charmy whispered to Cream.

Brown eyes glanced at him before watching the two tailed fox like a hawk. She gave a quick shrug. “We should get snacks though.”

Charmy frowned at her before sitting slightly behind her. The fox was not someone who's bad side he wanted to be on. Especially with however many of those cocktails he had consumed. 

Ray sat next to the fox. His fingers tapping on the table. The yellow squirrel had stuck to water and was learning card games. 

“From a gambling monster.” Charmy noted to himself as he watched the grin spread on Tails’ face as he wrung every player dry at the table. 

“Do you want another mead?” Cream offered. 

Charmy shook his head. “Nah,” he wanted to be sober for this one. He preferred sobriety whenever he noticed Tails being a sneaky little gremlin. No one could say he made it up or mis-

Sonic frowned when he woke up.

Sonic frowned when he woke up. It felt like a boulder was crushing his ribs. It didn't matter that it was a soft fluffy toddler. He preferred not struggling to breathe. He wanted to just sit up, but a toddler rolling off your chest led to the most hurt shocked face the blue hedgehog had ever seen. He shifted to grab the child with his hands only to find one arm pinned down. 

He turned and found a new snuggle buddy. Manic, with his green spikey quills everywhere. 

“Why me?” Sonic grumbled as he shimmied his arm and elbowed his twin a few times. 

Manic groaned

Due May 2nd

Ages:

Charmy 1-2

Espio: 11

Vector: 15

Espio frowned as he stared at the toddler. He did not like kids. The small bee looked up and smiled at the chameleon. Espio instinctively took a step away from the bee. 

“Vector!” He called upstairs. “It wants something.”

Vector’s sigh filled the house. All the croc asked was for the 11 year old to watch the bee while he took a shower. His body was still soapy as he attempted to remove the dirt and grim from his body from several days of work and single parenthood he was now experiencing. 

The bee was barely old enough to sit up. Vector and Espio had found the baby in an abandoned building during a job to find a missing pet Chao for a little old lady. 

Vector rinsed himself off quickly before leaving the room. He didn't have the luxury to dry himself off. He got that an 11 year old would dislike kids. Most did.

“What does the tike want?” Vector asked as he came into the room. Espio was on the ceiling glaring down at the child, who in fact, wanted nothing. The baby was just in awe watching the chameleon. “Pfft. Any good things in the ceiling?”

“It's baby free.” Espio grumbled. 

Vector nodded as he picked the baby up from the bouncing seat. “It's frankly an honored to be liked by a baby. Normally they see strangers and cry.”

The bee wiggled in joy at the crocodile. 

“This one is defective.” Espio shifted on the ceiling.

Vector shot him a glare. He was not putting the bee back where they found him. “Did anyone come by looking for him?” They had been going around asking anyone and everyone if they had lost a kid. Vector didn’t have money to make posters. He sent letters to every orphanage he could think of. Cost him a bunch in postage, but it would be worth it if they found the kid's folks. 

Espio shook his head. 

The crocodile nodded as he bounced the baby in his arms. “It's ok. Someone will come looking for ya. You're cute after all.”

“I think you need to get your eyes checked.” Espio muttered as he watched Vector go into the kitchen.

The crocodile rummaged through the fridge and cabinets. He needed to feed the baby something. He was sure babies his size needed to eat constantly. Unfortunately, the kitchen had very little to offer. 

Espio watched from the ceiling. It clicked to him what Vector was doing. He jumped down from the ceiling in the living room and walked out the door. 

“Be careful out there!” Vector called when he heard the squeal of the front door. 

“Kay,” Espio called back.

Vector knew asking the preteen where he was going or doing always ended with the classic teen tude of, “Ugh. Leave me alone.” A simple ‘be safe’ was the best. Plus the croc had his hands full with a tiny bee. 

He praised Gaia when he found a random a packet of oatmeal in the junk drawer of the kitchen. Located next to the loose batteries and keys he had no clue what they were for anymore. 

He poured water from the tap into a pot and put it onto the stove. He flicked on the burner and waited as he bounced the kid and sang the softest lullaby he could think of. Once he was out of those, he switched to jazz and r&b songs. 

The click of the lock and squeal of the door told Vector a possible customer was in the lobby. When Espio went for walks, the chameleon took hours. 

He leaned out of the kitchen doorway to greet the guest, only to pause as his eyes met the preteen. “You're back early.” He stared. 

Espio nodded as he walked into the kitchen past the crocodile. He slide the duffle bag off his shoulder and onto the kitchen table. There was a loud Ziiirrrp! as he unzipped the bag. 

“Where'd you get the bag from?” Vector asked. It was a nice bag. 

“Ignorance is bliss.” Espio responded as he pulled out items. Powdered milk, a jar of honey, and a bunch of bananas. 

Vector knew that sentence. Thievery. His shoulders slumped. How was he going to explain to this sticky finger chameleon that stealing was wrong?

“What's with the stove?” Espio pointed at the boiling water on the stove. 

“Oatmeal for the kid.” Vector stated as he rushed to make sure it didn't boil over.

“The kid lacks teeth.” Espio pointed out. He scooped powdered milk into a baby bottle from the duffle bag. Espio yoinked the boiling pot off the stove and poured its content into the bottle and began shaking it. 

“Careful Es!” Vector yelled, causing the baby to fuss in his arms. 

“I am more skilled.” Espio rolled his eyes. “I'll cook. You feed…” he gestured at the bee. 

Vector sighed. Teamwork did make the dream work. 

Vector grinned when the baby bee opened his mouth and he was able to spot a tooth barely out of the gums.

Team Chaotix Week Day1 Prompt: NOIR

Age Chart so I, the writer, can keep ‘em straight

Vector: 30

Vanilla: 40

Charmy/Cream: 16

Tails/Ray: 18

Espio/Knuckles: 26

Mighty/Sonic/Shadow: 25

Silver: 24

Vector watched from over his news paper as Charmy and Ray took turns running into the house to grab random things and dash out again. He was curious, but was told that they were having a Tea Party in the backyard and Vector was NOT invited. Vector, however, was curious what the group was doing out there. Afterall, they normally had tea parties at Vanilla’s house. He would peak through the window, but Silver and Charmy had gotten so great at gardening, it was a mini forest back there. Vector was sure Charmy knew every spot to sit in to hide himself from the crocodile’s sight.

Espio and Silver certainly did when they sneak kisses back there. 

Vector took in a breath and exhaled to calm his nerves. They were good kids. They wouldn’t start a fire or anything back there.

“I’ve got the pocket watch!” Charmy beamed as he flew up to the tea party table were everyone was sat. 

“I found a clip on tie and a small notebook.” Ray showed his items. 

“Those are prefect!” Cream bounced in her seat. “What do you think?” She turned to the baby who sat in a high chair. The green rabbit’s eyes sparkled at the sight of the watch. They attempted to reach for it, nearly falling forward. 

Tails helped steady them with a soft laugh. “Someone is happy.”

“Of course!” Charmy stood proudly. “She’s the boss for today.” Charmy hugged the child before fixing her brown detective hat. It was way too big since it was Vector’s but no one else had a fedora in the house. 

“Is this safe for her to wear?” Ray handed the clip on tie to Tails. The fox examined the clip carefully as he turned the tie in his hand in thought.

Tails pulled out a tool and fiddled with it a bit. “It's more safe now.” He handed the tie to Cream. 

Cream cooed at her little sister. “Wanna wear a tie?”

The child nodded as she clapped her hands. Cream carefully put the tie on the child, who sat up straighter to show it off proudly. 

“Now that's a sharp looking boss.” Charmy complimented as he made sure the baby didn't fall over. 

“So what's your order boss?” Ray asked as he sat down. 

The child thought for a moment before pointing at a plate that held cookies on it. She babbled as she looked up at the teens. The plate had been empty of treats for a while. 

“Alright! The boss wants cookies.” Charmy beamed as he picked up the baby. 

“Mission: get the boss more cookies is a go.” Ray cheered. 

Tails picked up the empty plate as Charmy lead the group carrying the baby in his arms.

Espio stifled a laugh as the group entered the agency. The baby dressed like a noir detective or mob boss. Charmy holding her. The bee always demanded to be the one to hold her. The ninja wondered what Charmy would do when the girl asked to be held and carried about once she was bigger than him. Cream was right behind them. Tails holding an empty plate and Ray not far behind them. 

“What do we have here?” Vector mused as he looked up from his paperwork. 

“The boss wants cookies.” Charmy proclaimed as he held up the baby. 

Vector smiled as he stood up. “The boss is too small for solid foods.”

“But she wants cookies.” Tails insisted.

“How can we let our boss down?” Ray added. 

“Hmm…” Vector pretended to think as he took his daughter from Charmy. “That's a good point.” He adjusted the hat better on her head as she giggled. “Warm milk with honey is a good substitute.” The child snuggled into Vector’s arm as he sat down in his chair. “Now, order your employees for milk, kiddo.” 

“We’re more like lackeys.” Tails remarked with a shrug.

“Employees is a nicer way of saying it.” Cream smiled. “Too the kitchen!”

“Too the kitchen!” Charmy echoed as he followed her to the kitchen of the agency. The other teens following close behind. 

Vector smiled as he turned back to find his daughter trying to eat the paper on his desk. “No, I need those.” He began trying to to keep his daughter from eating the bills and sheets with budget math on them.

KRISSIE: 4-14-2025 I had a great time with this prompt. I also got to show off my fankid for Vector. I’m still bouncing back and forth with her name though. I’ve got Mint or Matcha. Just struggling to feel which is better. Prompts from this tumblr post! Not sure if I’ll make it for each day on the days they’re due, but I’ll try.

Cramps hurt a lot today. I'm feeling cranky and the computer system is being wonky. 

My blood is like weird small blobs and strings of sticky dark reddish brown greasey glue.
