Earth, June 5th, 2302, the city of Chromaville, a town famous for having properly functioning facilities and having its own magical girl team! Right now, they were helping the medical side of things\u2026being pulled away from school in the process. A small, 15 year old girl of Japanese descent arrived on the scene. She was already in her outfit consisting of a white leotard and tights, a red skirt, red flats, red opera gloves, and a red rose with a single green leaf tucked into the right side of her hair. She was the leader of the new magical girls, the Cosmic Roses, and she arrived just in time to hear someone say \u201cThey\u2019re coming!\u201d and squeeze a rubber chicken at a rapid pace like he was firing a machine gun. The girl looked up wide-eyed to see the man standing on the roof of a balcony over the front door of a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat is NOT good,\u201d muttered the girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, that\u2019s why I called, Ruby,\u201d replied the saner man on the ground. \u201cHe\u2019s losing his mind!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can see that, Sir,\u201d said the girl, Ruby Kobayashi, the Rose of Fire. \u201cBut why is he on the roof?\u201d The man on the roof then threw the rubber chicken, cackling all the while as paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow am I supposed to know?!\u201d protested the guy that made the call. \u201cHe was running around the street, screaming and slinging his poop all over the place. Then he climbed up on the roof saying someone\u2019s trying to cut out his heart!\u201d That was when the lady inside the house arrived onto the balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey!\u201d she called. \u201cIs that the guy that ran through my house and stole my wallet?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe stole your what?\u201d asked Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOoh! A dollar!\u201d said the man on the roof as he opened a wallet. \u201cBYE!\u201d He took the money and threw the now-empty wallet to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026We\u2019re gonna need more people,\u201d muttered one of the paramedics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it! I\u2019m getting arrested for murder!\u201d declared the lady as she got ready to climb onto the roof while the many shrieked in insane laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou go call your people, I\u2019m gonna go prevent a murder,\u201d said Ruby. \u201cAnd I HAD to be called in during a math exam!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June 7th, 2302, Chromaville. One of Ruby\u2019s friends was called away for a mission, thankfully during her free period, and was already in her outfit. While Ruby\u2019s outfit and hair rose were predominantly red, this lady wore yellow. She arrived at the scene and saw a firetruck with a ladder against a tree. One firefighter was up in the tree while the other was on the ground, keeping the ladder steady. The girl, Yazmyn Jacobson, the Rose of Lightning, guessed what was going on. \u201cAw,\u201d she said sarcastically, \u201cbig tough firefighters can\u2019t get a little kitty cat down from a tree?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not getting Thor DOWN the tree that\u2019s the issue,\u201d said the firefighter on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Did you say Thor?\u201d asked Yazmyn, dropping the sarcasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe did,\u201d confirmed the little old lady watching the whole thing. Yazmyn recognized the lady as Mrs. Miggins and remembered how many cats that lady had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Dude on the ground, can you show me your face?\u201d Yazmyn as the firefighter on the ground. He turned his head and the scratches on his face confirmed everything. \u201cHoo buddy!\u201d shuddered Yazmyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI GOT HIM!\u201d cheered the firefighter in the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, you don\u2019t,\u201d replied Yazmyn, Mrs. Miggins, and the firefighter holding the ladder. They were right as Thor yowled and swiped at his face. The firefighter in the tree then fell to the ground. He lay there, groaning in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019m okay!\u201d he mumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019m going in!\u201d declared Yazmyn as she strode towards the ladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June 9th, 2302, Chromaville. It was at the start of the school day and the last of Ruby\u2019s friends, Bethany Williams, the Rose of Water, was in her predominantly blue outfit and at the school parking lot. \u201cHonestly, making me miss my science exam!\u201d she grumbled as she approached a high-school aged guy standing next to a car. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d she asked the dude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, my dad, the High School principal, is locked in the trunk of my car,\u201d the dude explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026How\u2019d he get in there in the first place?\u201d asked Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, I shoved him in there for a prank until I remembered that\u2026I gave him the keys and now they\u2019re in there with him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019M GONNA KILL YOU, BOY!\u201d shouted the High School principal from inside the trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSir, why don\u2019t you use the key fob to pop the trunk?\u201d Bethany asked the man in the trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBECAUSE IT\u2019S DEAD! SOMEONE DIDN\u2019T CHANGE THE BATTERY LIKE I TOLD HIM HE SHOULD DO!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, maybe we should just leave him there for a little while until he cools off,\u201d suggested the dude nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHAT?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOr,\u201d replied Bethany as she slightly raised her voice, \u201cyour dad can use the glow-in-the-dark release latch that\u2019s inside the trunk lid!\u201d The trunk then clicked and the High School principal raised it open. Bethany could see that he was short, bald, and understandably red-faced and angry at the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2019m sorry?\u201d said the dude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re dead, is what you are!\u201d promised the High School principal. He leapt out of the trunk and chased his terrified son all over the parking lot. Bethany just blinked at the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Well, with all that,\u201d she said to herself, \u201cbetter talk to my teacher and see if I can make up the exam during my study hall.\u201d She then pulled out a blue gem shaped like a seed. \u201cBlue Lady Rose of Water, let my petals fall.\u201d Blue rose petals surrounded her, then her outfit changed to civilian clothes and the rose in her hair was gone. She strode back into the school building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June 11th, 2302, Chromaville. Ruby and her friends had finished the last day of school and were so grateful, even the more studious Bethany. \u201cThis year was busy!\u201d groaned Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBalancing school and Cosmic Rose stuff,\u201d agreed Yazmyn, \u201cyou don\u2019t see Batman worrying about that so much!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBatman has to balance his day job with his vigilante stuff,\u201d reminded Ruby. \u201cBesides, he\u2019s rich enough to have a butler take care of other things. We\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, true,\u201d muttered Bethany. \u201cWell, now we can focus on\u2026hey, what are those\u2026?\u201d She pointed out a trio of teenagers spraying graffiti on the walking bridge over the highway they were about to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, for-!\u201d grumbled Yazmyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always that bridge!\u201d complained Ruby. \u201cCome on, Girls. Let\u2019s bloom.\u201d She and her friends pulled out their Transformation Seeds. \u201cRed Lady Rose of Fire\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBlue Lady Rose of Water\u2026\u201d continued Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYellow Lady Rose of Lightning\u2026\u201d Yazmyn went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI desire to bloom!\u201d all three finished. The proclamation was loud enough to attract the attention of the graffiti artists. They saw the girls\u2019 Transformation Seeds envelop them and turn into rosebuds. The rosebuds then bloomed into a red, a yellow, and a blue rose with the three girls leaping out in their Cosmic Rose outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the plan?\u201d asked Bethany through their telepathic abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a simple bit of roughhousing,\u201d replied Ruby. \u201cYaz, as you\u2019re the expert taunter-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne set of bruised egos, coming up!\u201d confirmed Yaz. She then called to the group aloud. \u201cWhat are you nitwits writing? Swood? Grommit? Waaaayz? Oh, maybe comparing someone\u2019s parents to genitals. Come on, do something original! You\u2019re stuck in the 1950\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKeep running that mouth, girly!\u201d replied the gang leader as they all brought out tire irons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI intend to!\u201d laughed Yazmyn. \u201cYou\u2019re all idiots that can\u2019t even do graffiti right!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU ASKED FOR IT! GET THEM!\u201d The gang rushed at the Cosmic Roses, swinging their tire irons\u2026only for the Roses to grab them and deliver a punch to their guts, winding them long enough for them to be handcuffed to the post on the walking bridge. \u201cHEY!\u201d shouted the gang leader! \u201cLET US GO! THIS AIN\u2019T FAIR!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI dunno, you sissies got what you deserve,\u201d remarked Yazmyn. Bethany pulled out her Comms Compact and called the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPolice, this is Bethany Williams, Rose of Water,\u201d she said. \u201cWe just found a trio of graffiti artists on the walking bridge leading from the school to the town. Mind sending a squad car here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn the way, Miss Williams,\u201d replied the dispatch lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police arrived and Officer Tanya took their statements. \u201cThanks for the catch, you three,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been after these punks for weeks. They\u2019ll be doing community service for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou think you can spread it among their cellmates in Lockup,\u201d suggested Ruby, \u201cthat they got beaten by 15-year-old girls? No way can their reputation survive that in the criminal world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we can arrange that,\u201d replied Tanya. Just then, the girls\u2019 Comms Compacts buzzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026One sec,\u201d said Ruby. She opened it up and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU, RUBY KOBAYASHI?!\u201d shouted her father, Daichi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, BETHANY WILLIAMS!\u201d boomed Bethany\u2019s mother, Heather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYAZMYN JACOBSON, YOU\u2019D BETTER BE DOING COSMIC ROSE WORK!\u201d shouted Yazmyn\u2019s grandfather, Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cW-We were!\u201d yelped Ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSirs, Madam, I can assure you they were doing their work as Cosmic Roses,\u201d said Officer Tanya. \u201cThey\u2019re on their way home now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Fine, fine,\u201d sighed Daichi. \u201cBut you girls really had us worried, not calling us to tell us about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cS-Sorry, guys,\u201d mumbled Ruby as she and her friends flushed red with embarrassment at forgetting that rule. \u201cWe\u2019re on our way home now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSee you!\u201d said Bethany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBe safe,\u201d replied Bill before the girls hung up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
