HikaLala is the femslash ship between Hoshina Hikaru (Cure Star) and Hagoromo Lala (Cure Milky) from the Pretty Cure fandom.

Canon
Lala is an alien that when first arrives on Earth, she has no idea how to speak like a human. Hikaru instantly becomes excited over meeting Lala when she first crashes onto Earth and is eager to befriend her. Lala at first thought that Hikaru would have been afraid to meet an alien, yet this did not happen. After Lala starts to bond with Hikaru, the main mascot named Fuwa grants her the ability to speak the human language. In the beginning, Lala is hesitant to interact with Hikaru. They even had an argument once in terms of personalities differences in episode 3, but they soon form a close bond with each other.

Lala's surname is given to her by Hikaru, who believes that it suits how she arrived on Earth through descending from the sky. Lala even starts to learn more about Earth thanks to Hikaru. Hikaru once said to Lala that she was excited to tell everyone that Lala was her friend and that she still wants to have fun with her at school. Hikaru, in episode 13, holds hands with Lala as the two run to school together. They are usually seen hugghing/smiling at each other.

At the end of the series, since the Earth was too far to reach, Hikaru and Lala sadly had to part ways. Hikaru then became an astronaut in order to be able to meet Lala again. This happens in episode 49: Hikaru is an astronaut and goes into space again. Not long after the rocket launched, she looks out the window and sees Fuwa returning to her. Moved, she responds with tears of joy. The entire movie "Star☆Twinkle Precure: Hoshi no Uta ni Omoi wo Komete" is focused around them.

Fanon
The are many fanarts that portray Hikaru and Lulu as Orihime and Hikoboshi since there are many references to Tanabata in the series. The first reference is Lala's birthday, which is on July 7th, the same day when Tanabata gets celebrated in Japan. The second one is Lala's surname: Hagoromo referes to the Celestial Robe wore by Orihime, the female protagonist of the Tanabata legend. The third reference is that the HikaLala ship dynamic is the one. Fans also started shipping HikaLulu because of how affectionately they interact with each other. Many fans associate the official soundtrack "The Love Coming From The Planets" to HikaLala since it's always used when the couple is facing up difficulties and in the touching scene when they were trapped in the black hole.
