Vanilla Practices Fencing
Vanilla Mieux / Ice tries her best to improve her fencing skills. She practices and works really hard, all so she can help her best friend win.She stays up late at night and goes home early every day after school just to practice. Her actions are admirable, to say the least, especially since she's not doing this for herself. She's doing this for her best friend.
Chocolat Is Useless
Chocolat Meilleure / Kato was the one who wanted to join the fencing club, so she can get more hearts and eventually win the Queen Selection Contest.And yet she isn't taking this seriously at all. She slacks off instead of practicing. While Vanilla is doing her best to practice, Chocolat is being useless.
Why It's Unfair That Vanilla Got Injured
If anyone should have the chance to fight against Pierre and possibly win the match, it should have been Ice since she was the one who was working hard and doing her best. She deserved a chance to shine and show how much she improved her fencing skills.This is why I thought it was really unfair when Vanilla ended up injuring herself on the day of the match. What the eff? This is so horrible. Did I mention it's unfair how Ice won't be able to fight? :-( There are not enough sad emojis to show just how upsetting this is.
Think about how much Vanilla worked so hard and tried her best. She put so much effort into practicing, and for what? For nothing. Now, she can't even fight and showcase her skills.
Why This Scene Is Contrived
The worst is how this scene came across as completely contrived and unbelievable. I think Vanilla getting hurt happened just to set up the Pierre vs Chocolat match.Sugar Sugar Rune is setting Pierre and Chocolat to be the main love pairing, even though it comes across as creepy, so, of course, it would try to set it up so that Pierre and Chocolat can fight without anyone else getting in the way.
Honestly, if they had no intention of letting Vanilla compete in the first place, then they shouldn't have let her do all that and made the audience believe that she would fight alongside Chocolat.
From the beginning, they should have just let the match be between Pierre and Chocolat so there won't be expectations that Vanilla would be able to join them.
One thing that really makes this scene come across as contrived was why couldn't they reschedule? Seriously, why couldn't the girls explain the situation to Pierre? Tell him Vanilla injured herself, so can they postpone the fight until she's all healed? This could give the girls more time to practice.
Chocolat-chan, I'm sorry
- Vanilla
Vanilla apologizes to Chocolat, but she has nothing to be sorry for because this entire thing was totally contrived.

Besides, like I mentioned in my other blogs, I have a lot of unfinished posts stored on the drafts pages of my numerous blogs (particularly Tumblr and Google Blogger). I'm now trying to finish all these articles, so I can publish them already and decrease the number of my drafts.
