Let the world feel despair

Walking over to the young girl out of boredom, Chopper's bored expression turned to a gleeful grin. Rushing over to her, he finally stopped in front of the girl, reaching his hoof out to poke her leg and get her attention. "Excuse me!" He called out joyously, hoping to make a new friend.

How strange it was that Chopper grew so attached to her feigned personality. He was truly desperate for companionship before she came along. Of course, the boy might be smarter than he appeared. Whose to say that, aside from some anger and trauma, he wouldn’t be able to defend himself from her. Perhaps if she truly planned on using him to wipe out her enemies, thus his potential allies after her betrayal, she could very well be on top of the world.

A hug? Machiko almost shuddered in horror. This couldn't get any worse. It was one thing to have it happen to her but to actually give something that made other people happy was the worst thing ever, with no comparison. But, if she was to use him in her revenge she would have to do it. Forcing a smile back onto her face she quickly decided to agree to it. "Well, if you say so. But that doesn't seem like such a bad thing!" She said, lying through her teeth.

Chopper could only smile wider as he sat atop her, his hooves on her shoulders. Gazing into her eyes, he felt overjoyed at the mereconcept of having a guardian angel. He couldn’t guess that she was some sort of devil instead. She was a brilliant actor, and when the time came for Chopper to assist him, the boy was likely to do whatever she said. He was naive, and while intelligent, he was extremely gullible. These aspects were more than enough to insure that Chopper was her pawn.

Machiko let him stay on top of her. It was much easier to see just how close he was to being completely ensnared by her lies. Surely it wouldn't be much longer until she could drop this sickening façade and get her revenge. Machiko only hoped this would all end quickly. All of this acting was starting to exhaust her. She made a note to herself to call in sick to the school. She couldn't take much more of this and more acting would only make things worse.

The way that she took his hit so easily made Chopper somewhat surprised. It wasn’t that she was unharmed, after all, it was just a pillow. It was the fact that she let herself get hit when she could have dodged it. Wasn’t the whole point of this to make sure that you didn’t get hit by the pillow. “Hehe! You suck at this, don’t you Happy-chan?” He asked in a somewhat playful voice, teasing the apparently sweet girl as much as she loved to tease and hurt him.

Oh? He was teasing her now? She could live with that, she guessed. It wasn't as though she could get offended by something like that, as though she actually cared what he thought about her. Despite this, she giggled at his teasing. "Yeah, I guess I do." But then she mockingly pouted. "Oh, you're so mean though, being so hard against a beginner like me. Maybe I should get you back for that." She said, laughing by the end.

Once the girl started to mention a pillow fight, Chopper’s eyes were wide and sparkling with joy. A pillow fight!? Right now!? Oh god, it had been ages since the last time he was granted such a privilege. “If I win, you have to stay with me for a whole week!” He shouted out excitedly, grabbing a pillow with his little hooves before pulling it over to his stomach, getting ready for this.

Clearly he took the bait. But a week? Would she be able to handle that? With the happiness he felt now, she already felt sickened. A whole week seemed completely unbearable. But, she had to. For the sake of her revenge. Sighing a little, she forced herself to grin wider. "A whole week? Is that meant to be a punishment?" She teased, winking at him. "Okay then. But if I win, you've got to help me out with a little favour, okay?" She allowed her smile to fall into a more natural seeming one. Now all she needed to do was win this and she would be able to exact her revenge, if he accepted her terms that is.

"Hurry? Well ok then." Saya said as the crystal shattered to show her in her costume.

The girl was a cure. She should have known. They were everywhere now, you couldn't get rid of them. Like a cold. 

It was hard for Tsubasa to describe the feeling she got from other people’s happiness. Even if she could, it was highly unlikely the other girl would understand.

"Seriously?" She questioned. How could anyone enjoy that kind of thing? "How could that make you feel happy? The entire idea of it is just...it's just awful!"

Chopper couldn’t stop feeling as though she had a motherly air about her. The way she acted as though she was happy to be with him was so admirable. Of course, she was probably right about betraying him. Chopper believed in her with all of his being, so once he was betrayed, it was likely to leave a hole in his heart wide enough to keep him depressed for a while. She was so sweet to him. It seemed like they were meant to be best friends for the rest of time.

Machiko had assumed that the pillows weren't there for sleeping. It seemed like he was quite childish and she had just been proved right. This wasn't the sort of thing she would ever want to do willingly, mostly because it was the kind of thing that brought others happiness, but she would just have to give up a little bit of her dignity and force herself through it.

Chopper giggled at her reply to his nickname for her. He had seen a lot of anime and read a lot of manga, and the only name longer than the one she gave him was probably End of the World from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Anyone with a name that was more than six syllables needed a nickname to keep Chopper from feeling confused and forgetting who was who every five seconds or so.

Machiko grinned at his giggle. The happier he felt, the easier it would be to get him on his side. Then once she betrayed him and stole his power for herself, the despair he felt would be so much more potent. What fun that was going to be. She almost couldn't wait. But, unfortunately, she had to. No matter how good it would feel to see him in despair, it would completely ruin her plan to destroy Cure Happy and finally get the revenge she craved so much.

It could be thought of as strange, but Chopper genuinely found Bad End Happy to be downright charming. She should have been the type of woman who always creeped Chopper out, and who he naturally distrusted and hated. Despite this, she made Chopper feel better with her company. Walking down the forest path, he kept humming joyously, as though to show off his happiness without any sort of shame or hesitation. This new friend of his was going to experience all of the joy that Chopper could possibly give her in this world.

Machiko followed Chopper through the forest, looking around the entire time. If she was going to use this place to her advantage, she needed to get a feel for the layout. Machiko wondered if she could convince Chopper to make her a map. Clearly he was convinced she was a nice person, no matter how laughable the thought was, if the humming she heard from him was any indicator.

"I will not deny that." Chinami said simply, closing her eyes. Although her expression didn’t change when Machiko brought up her defeat, there was very clearly a hint of irritation on her voice. Just thinking about it made her angry- how could she lose to someone like Cure Beauty?

"Isn't it obvious? You'll be able to get revenge on Cure Beauty and the rest of the precure, although I guess they don't matter as much to you do they?" She beamed. If the other was anything like Machiko that should be more than enough. But just to be sure, she needed to go further. The hurt that it could cause the other was just a bonus.
