So, yeah, this is what I've been working on when I'm not writing Alien Uprising. Probably also one of the reasons I'm currently scrambling to finish a few chapters. Those who read Alien Uprising will find some of my OCs in this story (Don't worry; Physco Mylo isn't one of them!), and even a new OC that I hope will be featured in more stories. Hope you all enjoy!

Updates for this story will be bi-weekly and posting schedule will coincide with the one for Alien Uprising.

I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. But, for better or for worse, I do own any and all OCs.

Prologue: They're Ba-ack

Ichigo Momomiya laid contently in the grass, allowing the summer sun to warm her. She had her first day off in a long time, but she had to wonder if it was worth it. After all, her boyfriend, Masaya Aoyama, was thousands of miles away studying in England and she couldn't spend the day with him.

Eh, She thought, stretching some. Something exciting will happen.

She scowled as she felt the sun's warmth disappear. Knowing that there was not a cloud in the sky, it had to be someone standing over her.

"Could you please move? You're blocking the sun," Ichigo said, not opening her eyes. Suddenly, her sun returned.

"Anything for you, honey."

Ichigo's eyes snapped open at the familiar voice and she sat bolt upright to glare at the alien boy standing in front of her, one she hadn't seen for several months and had hoped to never see again. He looked very much the same, but he was an inch or two taller and his hair longer and shaggier than she remembered.

"Kishu!" She growled. "What are you doing here?"

"You're not happy to see me, Koneko-Chan? I'm hurt," Kish said with his trademark smirk.

"I thought you went back to your own planet," Ichigo said, getting to her feet. "So what are you doing back on Earth?"

Kish's smirk dropped and his face became serious.

"Will you come with me?" He asked, holding out his hand. When Ichigo hesitated, he added, "I'm taking you to Café Mew Mew. Pie and Tart are already there with the other Mews."

"Why?" Ichigo asked, taking Kish's hand as he helped her to her feet. "Why do you look so serious?"

"Because, kitten, we need your help," Kish said.
