Fanfic / Hoshi no Purikura

"The world of miracles, Popstar was in trouble, no one fully knew why, but they needed help, and help could arrive via a child, 15, optimistic and sweet, deep pink hair, and always happy to help. This child's name? Kira "Kirby" Popopo."

Hoshi no Purikura is a Kirby and Pretty Cure fusion fanfiction created by Agent 9 on Archive of Our Own.

When the world of miracles, Popstar, was in trouble, a call was made to a normal 15 year kid by the name of Kira (Kirby) Popopo for help. In turn them and other six of their friends gained a magical make-up compact by the name of the "Dreams Pact" allowing them to become the magical warriors, the "Hoshi no Purikura". Together, they protect both Popstar and Earth from the forces of darkness and whatever other adversaries they may face.
