Ahhh, Heavenly Healer. One of the longest-running franchises in the human world, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans with its masterful animation, colorful character designs, and deep roots in the magical girl genre of media.
You know who really, really likes it, though? Rainbow Dash. She's been a devoted fan of the franchise for years on end.
She's also rather confident neither of her friends know.
But, as many can attest to, failing spot checks happens to everyone...
Originally an entry in the A Thousand Words Contest II that was later scrapped in favor of The Grass is Always Greener being submitted instead.

Wow, I feel her.
It was the same with me when some folks were weirded out that I watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. That I didn't want them to know that I became a Brony.
If I had a nickel for every story where human Rainbow Dash was a closeted magical girl fan, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's enough to make this Phineas & Ferb reference.
Delightful little tale, though the idea's a bit cramped given the word count constraint. Still an entertaining slice of life. Thank you for it.
I love what I’m seeing. Another.
Why does heavenly healer ring a bell

Part of the reason why I went with The Grass is Always Greener for the contest was because it told a more compelling story that fit relatively comfortably in 1000 words. Key word being "relatively" because that's definitely not perfect either, but it was better than making a story within a franchise I haven't touched in far too many years.
Glad it tickled your fancy either way. Funny enough I have Super Heroine Time sitting in my Read It Later folder already...and didn't realize it amidst the other 3391 stories I have in there. Gonna have to give it a read for the new year.

Well, it's a reference to two famous magical girl IPs. If you want to take a shot at which ones, be my guest.

No idea at all.....
Pretty Cure. As for which season, no clue as I've never seen an episode (yet).

Ooohhh, yes that's where I heard about it from.

Ahhh, that's one.

Ahhh, and there's the other one. (No particular season though, just referencing the franchise as a whole.)
Congrats to you both! As a reward, you may have choose-your-own-flavor cookies.
