Mew Mai: I don't have much to say right now except that I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew or 'Teardrops on my Guitar' by Taylor Swift. Time for Chapter one of Teardrops on my guitar (yes there will be more than one chapter).

Lettuce sighed as she looked at her picture of Ryou. She put it back on her dresser and walked to her closet. There she found her late father's guitar and set it on her bed. She turned on the radio to try and forget the feelings that she wished Ryou would direct at her instead of Ichigo. The radio began pouring out "Teardrops on my Guitar" By Taylor Swift. Lettuce began to sing along with it but she changed the lyrics a bit.

Ryou looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Ryou talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Ryou walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

Lettuce put her father's guitar on her lap and tears formed on the sides on her eyes.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

Now Lettuce was sobbing uncontrollably and she stopped singing. Her replacement lyrics still went on in her head.


He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Ryou looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

Instead of the radio making her feel better, it made her feel even worse. There was a knock on her door and Lettuce instantly wiped her tears. "Come in."

It was her mom. "Lettuce your friends are here, or did you forget they were coming today?" Shoot! Lettuce had completely forgotten. She rushed down the stairs to meet Ichigo, Mint, and Pudding (Zakuro had an interview that afternoon).

Lettuce did her best to hide the evidence that she had been crying and led them up to her room as politely as she could.

Once there, Pudding noticed her picture of Ryou. Lettuce froze with embarrassment as she realized that she forgot to put it away. "Lettuce! Why do you have a picture of Ryou?"

When Pudding said this, all of the girls began to crowd around Lettuce, asking her questions.

Lettuce had been hiding the truth from them for so long and it looked like they were about to find out her secret. "Yes… I like Ryou" Her face turned a deep shade of red.

"Awww, that's so sweet!" Pudding was the first to say. Next, Ichigo said "Yeah, sure it's sweet, but why Ryou?"

Lettuce blushed even harder but still spoke. "H-He was always so nice to me, I-I guess I really c-can't help it…"

Mint spoke with confidence, "I think it's obvious that Ryou likes Ichigo, that's why there are tear stains on your cheeks, Lettuce."

"WHAT?!? Ryou can't like me! I'm dating Masaya! A-and he's so rude to me all the time!" Ichigo began to panic…

Meanwhile, up in outer space, Pie was watching Lettuce discuss the way she feels about Ryou. He had assumed that this was the way the green Mew felt, but hearing it from her awakened a form of anger that he had never felt before.

He transported himself to where Kish and Tart were arguing about the next form of action that they should take against the Mews. It only took a moment for the younger aliens to notice Pie and to stop shouting.

"Let me ask you," Said Pie in his emotionless voice. "Who is really responsible for our failure? It's not any of the Mews, it's the one who started it all, Ryou Shirogane"

Mew Mai: Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I love cliffhangers!

Best Friend of Mew Mai: What's Up People! I know you don't know me but, HI!
