## Synopsis

A young girl groggily rubs her eyes as the sun beams in from a nearby window. The camera pans out for a better view of her room, which looks oddly empty.

The girl rushes out of bed, realizing she's late for her first day at her new school! She introduces herself in a voiceover form as she gets dressed. We learn that her name is **Koharu Natsukawa**, and she just moved to **Aozora City** a day ago.

She runs outside after she waves bye to her parents and younger sister, stretching out her arms as she takes in the view, smiling. Koharu then notices a girl in the pond. Peaking her interest, she runs up to her. This girl is **Laura**, and as she dives deeper into the water, she shows a glimpse of her mermaid tail. Koharu is amazed by this, not expecting to see a real mermaid in her new city. They talk for a short while, before Koharu realizes that she's going to be dead meat if she dilly dallies even longer.

After a while, she finally arrives to her new middle school. Koharu smiles happily, excited for her new life to begin as she walks inside. She quickly changes to her school uniform that her mom got yesterday afternoon, and walks into class.

The teacher informs the class that before starting the lesson, they'll be meeting a new transfer student from a far away town. This transfer student is Koharu! She walks in nervously, fidgeting with her hair as she realizes she's in front of a crowd. She gulps, trying to get her bearings straight as she introduces herself.

Somehow, she's managed to make a few friends within her first day!

After school, Koharu witnesses a strange monster that was summoned by a **rather weird looking sea creature**, attacking near the school, her new friends being caught in the crossfire. Confused, she runs over to see what's going on. Before the monster can continue its attacks, Koharu runs up to it and throws a few punches.

Laura is nearby, sighing at how reckless Koharu is before realizing she's the girl she met this morning. Koharu spreads out her arms to protect her friends, and Laura manages to transform behind a bush, becoming a Pretty Cure, **Cure La Mer**, and is able to fend off the monster, which we then learn is a **Yaraneeda**, possessing a tree nearby, who is stealing the motivation of Koharu's new friends, before the perky girl can get herself hurt any further. Koharu is rather confused at first, seeing the mermaid from this morning transform into a human magical girl right in front of her. She struggles to wrap her head around the situation, as she's just an average girl. She regains her senses, though, as her eyes start to sparkle, Koharu yelling "I got a spark!"

Koharu watches La Mer in amazement, before deciding she wants to help with a determined expression, feeling that taking away someone's pure motivation is cruel and should be punished.  As her feelings and motivation become stronger and pure, a Tropical Pact and a Heart Kuru Ring appear in front of the girl. Koharu grabs them, confused, while Cure La Mer tells her to shout the phrase "Pretty Cure! Tropical Change!" and transform. Koharu messes up a few times,  saying Tropikari instead of Tropical, much to La Mer's chagrin, but she eventually gets it right and transforms.

Koharu is confused the whole time, but as she finishes her transformation, adopting the alias **Cure Sunrise**, she finds that her outfit is actually really cute! She admires herself and twirls around before La Mer tells her to help fight the Yaraneeda.

Cure Sunrise is confused, saying how exactly she should do that, before she figures it out, jumping very high thanks to her improved athletic ability and running up to the Yaraneeda, kicking it multiple times in quick succession.

She then performs her Pikkapikari Sunrise Punch attack to finish off and purify the monster, smiling when she does so.

La Mer smiles softly before detransforming, saying to herself that this girl might have potential as Sunrise detransforms. She talks with her new friends for a bit before she goes back home, reflecting on the day she had.

She giggles, saying that her new life has just gotten much more interesting.

Outside, **a girl** with long, teal hair is taking a walk. She sighs, before the episode ends.
