A beautiful park in North Carolina, America. Children play, adults sit on benches watching and remembering the good old days, and a brown haired girl of about 13 years talks and plays with her best friend.
"Joseph, you sure do know how to make a girl laugh!" the girl giggled as her light blue eye's sparkled with the giggles she was holding back. The blond haired boy just grinned back.
"I'm just being me, Alex. Travel sized comedian at your service 24/7." Alex just shook her head at Joseph.
"Yeah, whatever short-stuff. Wanna' go grab a hot-dog or something?" she waved for him to follow.
"Okay, but for calling me short you're paying for it and....LAST ONE THERE'S PAYING FOR THE ICE CREAM!!!" Joseph shouted as he sprinted on ahead of her.
"Hey! No fair Joseph!!" with a burst of speed she easily caught up with her shorter friend.
Joseph side-stepped her and cut ahead. Alex was about to dart forwards, when she saw a sparkle of light. And it was headed for the park fast.
"Hey Joseph, what's that?" she asked as her pace slacked off.
"You're not fooling me Alex!" he yelled back to her as he kept running for the food stall.
"Seriously Joseph, stop! Somethings coming for the park fast!"
"That's just what you WANT me to think!"
"Joseph, stop now!"
"Not fooling me buddy, you're going to pay for the ice cream at this rate!!" he retorted with a grin. The thing was getting closer.
"JOSEPH!!" she screamed at him, others were noticing the thing coming towards them.
"Sorry Alex, but I-WHAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!" whatever the thing was had hit behind the food stall, causing an explosion.
"Joseph? JOSEPH?!" Alex screamed over the mass confusion of adults and children rushing out of the park. Parents were screaming for lost kids, and Alex's was lost in the tide of stampeding people.
A fire was spreading fast for the site of the explosion, and Alex saw it, Joseph laying face-down on the grown, unmoving.
"Joseph!" she screeched as she ran to him. As she knelt beside him, he gave a shudder and turned over, facing her.
"A-Alex? I-I-Is that y-you?" he asked weakly. Blood was pouring from him, a large shard of glass was embedded in his gut.
"Joseph, it's okay, I'm going to find help, you just wait here okay?" as she turned to run for help Joseph grabbed her hand.
"It's no use. You should go find your parents and get out of here Alex." his attempt to get her to escape wasn't working.
"I'm not leaving you-"
Alexandra Elizabeth Payne.....You're my best friend and I want you to escape. Look," he turned his head to the fire that was quickly burning a circle around them, cutting of an escape rout. "You've got to get out."
Tears started running down Alex's face.
"Well Joseph William Norman you're MY best friend too, and I'm not losing you!" she said fiercely. Joseph just shuddered from blood-loss.
"Bye Alex....Sorry. I don't think I'm paying for the hot-dog anymore." he closed his eyes and gave a soft smile, and held her hand untill his, despite the heat, turned cold.
Alex just sat there sobbing. Her best friend was dead, she didn't know if her parents got out okay, and she was probably going to die from the fire.
As blackness started to cover her vision, she thought she saw a frenzy of figures running her way, firemen. But in the air, a strange creature with the appearance of a mermaid with a horn and a dragon tail was flying away.
Alex them passed out.
......
Not just Joseph, but Alex's parents and 15 other people died that day. The police and fire department blamed the explosion on the food stand's stove overheating, but Alex knew better.
Life passed on, she moved in with her grand-parents. After a few months her grandfather died and her grandma decided to move to Japan, changing their English names to Japanese ones. Alex didn't care.
One year later........
"Arekkusu-chan, come help me take out the trash!" Arekkusu's elderly grandmother yelled.
"Got it grandma!" she jogged over to her grandma and took the stinking bag from her.
"I'm going to school after I put this out, Bye grandma!" she yelled as she grabbed her book-bag after she dumped the garbage in the can.
Well, here goes another day in my least favorite place in the world, she thought. She was 14 years old now, and she looked more like 15.
As she ran through her shortcut by the park, she decided to stop by that cute pink cafe. She had 1,000 yen left in birthday money, and she had skipped out on breakfast that morning.
"Fattening, sugar filled, carb-roasted death-trap, here I come!" as she walked up the pink stairs, she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched. She turned around but all she saw was a grey kitten scampering off.
"Hello, welcome to Cafe Mew Mew's super early breakfast sweets hour, how may I help you? A table for one?" a girl in a red waitress outfit asked cheerily.
"Yeah." Arekkusu said trying her best to hide her American accent.
"Okay, the table right here's good, what would you like to order? The cranberry cheesecake with a side of blueberry toast is the morning's special." the red-head said, still in the over-happy voice.
Poor thing, she probably doesn't want to be here at all in the morning, Arekkusu thought.
"Yes, I'll have that morning special that you mentioned, and some chocolate milk if you have any."
"Okay, coming right up-nyaa!" the girl covered her mouth and Arekkusu gave her a strange look.
"Pardon me, but did you just say 'nyaa'?"
The redhead just looked flustered as she tried to come up with a good come-back.
"Well, uh, pardon me but did you just use a weird accent?!" she almost shouted.
"It's southern. American. North Carolina to be exact." she said in a monotone, her light eyes blank. Arekkusu hated it when people made fun of her American accent.
"Uhh, well, excuse me!" she stuttered as she ran off to the back shouting on her way there.
Weird, she thought. Then Arekkusu became distracted by a hyper girl in yellow performing on a large beach-ball.
"SHIROGANE!!!!!" Ichigo shouted as she ran to the kitchen in the back.
"What?! Can't you leave people alone in the morning?" Ryou complained as he meet the mad cat-girl.
"For three weeks strait I have been saying nya at the end of 3 out of 5 of my sentences! What Am I supposed to do about that?!" Ichigo screamed.
"Well I don't know, that's not my problem!" Ryou shouted, he was tired and Ichigo was really starting to tick him off.
"Well then, what IS your problem then?" Ichigo yelled back, but she was starting to calm down.
"What's my problem? How about the Mew Mew injection machinery? It's been going haywire lately!! If I don't fix it, it could spew out endangered animal genes into some random girl at any minute!!"
"Well, not some random girl, but one with compatible genes, Ryou." Keiichiro added in, hoping to be helpful.
"Oh, I've had enough of this for one morning, Ichigo! 200 yen off your next paycheck for bugging me! And another 100 if you're late for your shift after school!" Ryou stomped off upstairs.
Ichigo just stared after him with her rage boiling.
"200 yen?! Meanie! I work harder than any of the waitresses except for maybe Pudding! And he wants to dock my pay?! Jerk!" she then ran to the dressing-room to change and go to school.
......................
The afternoon light shone through the trees in the woods in the park, and leaves crunched as Arekkusu walked along the beaten path. Today was a special day, it was the anniversary of Joseph and her parents death.
There was this cute little shrine in the woods that she had discovered when she had gotten lost in the woods a few months back, and it was a memorial shrine as far as she could tell, so she was going to put some flowers and incense there.
As she put the few things there on the ground, she knelt and clasped her hands together in prayer. (She's Christian but trying to do this in a Japanese way)
She prayed long and hard silently, hoping for her parents, grandfather, and friends happy peace and rest, she prayed for her grandma who was experiencing some joint trouble, and she prayed that no one else would have to loose what she lost.
"Amen...." she said softly, breaking the silence.
It's quiet.... She thought, Too quiet...
The birds weren't singing, the bugs weren't chirping, and an eerie silence hung over the woods, and an almost palpable tension seeped through like fog.
Suddenly, quicker than she could blink, an earthquake of about a level four on the Richter scale hit the area.
As Arekkusu shook and fell down, she heard distant screams of the people around in the park, and a white light seemed to fill the world around her.
"Huh? What?! What is this?!!??!" she yelled, only to find that she was no longer in the woods.
It was a dark place, like a blood red dimension with black everywhere. And Arekkusu was just floating there, alone and naked.
"I-I'm in Hell....Aren't I? What did I do?" she asked to the nothingness. A lone bat cry answered her.
"Kii! Kii! Kii!" the bat cried out again.
"Hello?"
"Kii~kii!" the little bat appeared in front of her.
It was a small black bat with a brown tuft of fur on it's chest.
Kawaii! It's so cute! Arekkusu thought. She always thought that bats were cute adorable creatures, and she thinks that most people just misunderstand them.
"Come here, it's alright" she cooed to the small winged creature.
The bat willingly flapped forwards to her, and it allowed her to hold it and cuddle it up close to her.
The little bat looked up at her with its small but adorable eyes, and it flew inside of her.
What? This bat just went into me....And it's warm! It's...A good feeling....nice....warm....
Arekkusu closed her eyes to sleep and enjoy the feeling.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Kisshu just watched with a curious expression on his face.
Pai had told him that there was a tremendous mew mew energy response, and that he should check it out. Well he's there and all it turned out to be was a girl passed out at a shrine.
"Hmm. Wonder if she's a mew....Nah. There's only supposed to be five. But I wonder...." Kisshu teleported down to where Arekkusu was laying, and he took out his mew aqua senser, since it detected not anly mew aqua, but mew mews.
"Okay, nothing. Nothing, Nothing, Nothing," he said as he waived around various parts of her body.
"Nothing. Nadda. Zip. No. Naw. Iie. Not a thing- hey yeah!" the senser was starting to glow around her hand. Kisshu peered at it, and sure enough, a mew mark was there.
"Well then, I should probably take you with me and-"
*SMACK!!*
"ITTAI!!!! Oi! That hurt!" Kisshu yelled at the now awake and extremely angry Arekkusu.
"Well Mr. Floaty Elf, what were you doing on top of me?!" Arekkusu shrieked. While Kisshu was checking for mew signes, he just happend to be on top of her.
"Well for one, I'M NOT A FREAKIN ELF!!! You're the third person this week to call me that! Two, I was checking to see if you were a mew, and you are. And three-" Kisshu was interupted then.
"Wait, mew? What's a mew?" she asked.
"You don't know?" Kisshu asked as a plan began to formulate in his mind.
"Noooo." she stressed out the no so it would sound like he was crazy.
"Well then I should probably---Oh, hey Koneko-chan!" Ichigo had just run into the clearing out of breath.
"Kisshu! Get away from that girl!"
"Or what? You always need you partners to help you fight one of us, and little brown hair here doesn't even know what a mew is. She won't be able to help you." Kisshu grinned.
"Wait, mew mew? You're a mew mew?" Ichigo asked Arekkusu.
"WELL WHAT THE HECK IS A FREAKIN' MEW MEW AND MAYBE I COULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION!!!!!" Arekkusu screamed, she was really starting to get ticked off. Not only was weirdo elf boy here, but overhyper meow girl was back too.
"I'll show you what a mew is, Mew Mew Strawberry- METAMORPHOSIS!!!" the Ichigo was now in mew form, and Arekkusu just stared.
"That's a mew mew. Strawberry Bell!!" her bell appeared and she started attacking Kisshu.
Okay, maybe if I'm quiet, I can sneak away. She thought as Ichigo started doing her strawberry surprise attack.
As Arekkusu started to back away while facing the two fighters, she forgot one important fact. There was a two story drop behind her.
Almost to the thicket, just a little more-Whaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!
"Nooooo!!!! I'm falling! CRAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!" she screamed as she fell.
Arekkusu shut her eyes, waiting for the sickening thud that would announce her death. After a few seconds she noticed that she wasn't falling anymore, and a strong pair of arms were supporting her.
She slowly let her eyes open to see what saved her. A tall young man with blond hair and blue eyes was holding her.
"Are you okay?!" he asked frantically. Arekkusu's mouth just opened and tears filled her eyes.
"Joseph?!"
Booboo-nyaa: Well, how was it? Good? I hope so. I'll try to update soon
