Story - summarized

Long ago, little Nikki and Yoyo wanted to grow a lovely rose bush for their mom's birthday. Every day, they tended to it, giving it enough water and sun, and keeping it free of bugs. It was growing wonderfully - but on their mom's birthday, as the family visited the amusement park, a storm blew in.

The girls wanted to race home to save the rose bush. But when they arrived, it was too late. The bush had wilted. Nikki and Yoyo were inconsolable, but Mom reassured them she still loved the gift, "because of your love for me."

Years later, Nikki is trying to save Miraland, and you and Momo decide to grow a rose bush for her in addition to the magic train ride. However, a storm approaches.

Nikki remembers how devastated she was when the rain destroyed her mom's gift, so she teams up with Marina to make a growth potion that will save the rose bush in her backyard. She waters the plant enough to restore it. When you and Momo return home, she hides from view, enjoying the relief you both feel at seeing the roses.

That night, Momo presents the gift, carrying one in his mouth. Right after the celebration, Nikki sneaks outside and takes a picture of the rose garden with the magic camera from the train ride. She plans on baking rosy desserts as her way of thanking you all for the wonderful birthday!

Connections

-Momo calls your gift "Iron Rose," which is the same name as the styling faction from Love Nikki that she has to fight, but eventually joins in Vol. 2.

-Nikki loves incorporating flowers in her birthday designs. Her very first birthday Reflection, Garden of Time, explores her desire for her own flower garden that she can sketch in (after Aeon and Marina gave her the garden castle), and in Promise of the Wind, she switches from roses to lilies of the valley because they symbolize happiness, and she wanted to remember her time at the resort forever.

Fun Facts

-This is the first birthday outfit to have a Momo accessory.

-Even though we've visited the Ark for preparations for Nikki's birthday, this is the first time actually spending her birthday on the Ark. We board the train that takes us through some of her favorite memories; we also get the magic camera from Aeon and Marina that turns pictures into food.
