I prefer the english names, so I use those, and while I've added Berry to the group, her name has been changed to Becca and her boyfriends name to Jake. Not sure if I get their ages right, but whatever. Thanks and Enjoy!
"Okay, so the Cyniclons?" Becca asked, as she started to take notes. I couldn't blame her, we were trying to catch her up on the year she hadn't been part of, after a very eventful few days.
"Okay, so here it is again" Corina stepped in front of the table Becca sat at, placing a hand on the table rather forcefully-as if we didn't already have her full attention. "Remember those creatures you watched us fight on tv? And the ones we fought with you?"
"Yes, the parasites." Becca nodded writing something down in her little notebook-as Kiki called it, the history of mews book. Not that anyone else could read it, heck some of the notes were sideways.
"Yeah, those. Those were created by the aliens, otherwise known as?"Corina asked her as a teacher would ask a student for the answer the teacher knew the student knew.
"Cyniclons?" Becca answer-asked after a quick look at her book, a tentative smile on her face. Heck, even I'd be nervous if I had Corina as a teacher, and I'd been there from the very beginning-even before Corina.
"Right. And so Elliot and Wesley created us, by mixing our DNA with endangered species, the Mew mews to fight them because they wanted?" Corina trailed off again, and Becca started flipping through her little book.
"Zoey?" She asked, and for a moment I thought she was asking me for help.
No, she thought that was the proper answer.
"No, that was just Dren." Corina waved it off, and I swear I couldn't have blushed redder.
"Hey!" I shouted in embarrassment.
"It is true." Renee looked up from her script for some movie or show or something that she was doing soon.
"ANYWAY."Corina cut me off before I could argue that."No, the Cyniclons wanted our planet because theirs wasn't so great." Corina patiently poored herself some tea as she waited for Becca to write, and apparently re-write that down.
"So tell me what you know."Corina seemed to be paying little attention to Becca as she fixed up her tea to her very specific requirements. "Don't look at your book."
"Oh...uh.." Becca glanced at her book before Corina quickly reached across the table and took it. "Uhm. So Elliot and Wesley created you guys, and me, by merging our DNA with that of endangered species." Becca looked around at us, and we all kind of shied away from her look. We weren't the ones who had wanted to get the full history, and with this, she was on her own.
"Continue, Becca" Corina was quick to draw the youngest mews attention back to their history lesson.
"And you fought the Cyniclons parasites."She trailed off, and you could almost see the steam coming off Corina's head.
"Let me." I tapped Corina's shoulder, and thankfully, she relented, giving me the seat across from Becca.
"Okay, so here it is." I started, making sure I had her full attention. "The cyniclons didn't actually show for a bit, so we'll get to them later." I shrugged and concentrated on Becca rather than Corina's glare. "First, Elliot and Wesley, picking up where Elliots father left off, researched the possibility of creating us. Eventually, they got it down, and did exactly that. They created us all simultaneously, but I was the first to well, anything. I also found the others, and slowly we became a team. Eventually, the Cyniclons, a.k.a the aliens, showed their faces. Dren came first-"
"When he kissed you!" Kiki piped up, much to the surprise of everyone else and my embarrassment.
"Kiki, shush." I waved her, and the kissing incident off despite Becca's very interested gaze."Anyway so shortly after Dren appeared, Tarb and Sardon appeared. As they got stronger, by using better techniques, we became stronger as a team and individually. Eventually, we faced their leader who was part of Mark, Deep blue. Upon Deep blue's defeat, Sardon admitted they had found a way to fix their planet, and they left to do just that." I sighed, deciding she probably didn't need all the gritty details of the entire year.
"And now they're back." Kiki smiled and started doing one of her crazy performances around the closed cafe. At least it was closed and she wasn't scaring off customers this time.
"Why are they back?" Becca asked, clearly confused. "Are we gonna have to fight them again?"
"Doubtful, as they only wanted our planet due to theirs being nearly destroyed, but they said they fixed that." Elliot shrugged, leaning against the wall only a few feet away. "But honestly, we're not sure why they're back."
"They came to see us." Kiki piped up, suddenly hanging from a rope-where had that come from?- above our table. "Sardon for Renee, Tarb for me and of course Dren for Zoey." Kiki informed us happily.
Kiki had been the first-and so far only- one to be contacted by them, and was very excited about her friend Tarb coming back just for her. The rest of us had our doubts.
"So we're not sure if we'll have to fight them again?" Becca asked, looking around at everyone else faces, all which showed uncertainty and worry.
"We might, for all we know whatever idea they thought would work on their planet didn't and so they're back to fight for ours. But again" I paused and looked over to where Kiki was doing some odd acrobatic stunt on a chair on a table." Kiki could be right, near the end of our fighting we seemed to be...friendly, so they might've come back for a simple, clean visit." I sighed and ran my hands through my much longer hair. I'd kept it so short because I was told Mark liked that-but now I didn't have to worry about that.
"Oh kay. Well, hopefully they're here for a friendly reunion. If not, we're stronger now, and you guys beat them before." Becca shrugged and hopped out of her chair, ever acting like the bunny she was mainly infused with. She had cat DNA as well, but Elliot had done some tests recently. Apparently her body had essentially started to reject the cat DNA as soon as it had entered her. "Jake!" She suddenly broke into a huge grin and darted for the front door, causing us all to look.
Sure enough her childhood friend turned boyfriend was waiting for her oh so causally by the door, and he immediately started to smile as she ran to him. Becca jumped into his arms, and gave him a quick loving kiss.
"Mews" Jake waved at all of us, and we each acknowledged him in our own way, nodding or waving.
"Bye guys!" Becca held Jake's hand as they left, and it made me miss the good days of mine and Mark's relationship. When we'd been so in love, so willing to fight and die-literally- for each other. When my life made more sense.
"Do you think we could take them, again?" Bridget asked, causing us all to look at her.
She was right to be concerned, because we weren't as strong as we once were, despite what we told Becca. My powers were more out of control than ever, despite working with Elliot to find a stabilizer or cure. I couldn't control when I turned into a cat, once it had had to do with my emotions, but now it seemed to be completely random. And with Becca at full strength, we might have been able to cover the change, but what we hadn't told Becca? She'd been a mistake, which she of course knew. She also knew her body was rejecting the cat DNA. What she didn't know was that her body was also rejecting the bunny DNA. We simply weren't sure how much longer she'd be able to transform, how much longer she'd be a mew. Sooner than later Elliot was sure we'd be down to only five mews, and only four usable ones. It was an ego killer, and with our abilities so tied to our emotions, it hurt us when we couldn't afford it.
"We barely beat them last time." Corina worried, nervously chewing her lip. "And even that was only because of mew aqua." She sighed and sat down, pouring herself more tea. A true sign of her worried state.
"Guys. For now, we'll just hope Kiki is right, this is a friendly visit, and NONE of us will do anything to provoke them." Elliot took charge, just as he had before when our spirits had plummeted. "Me and Zoey will work nonstop to fix her powers. Zoey, you'll still come into work everyday, but you won't be working, we'll be downstairs seeing what we can figure out with Weasley. The rest of you, continue on as normal." He sighed slightly and seemed to shrink as he would when his speech was done. "Everyone go home and rest, and try not to worry. We especially don't need to worry Becca when, if it came to a fight, she probably wouldn't be able to participate." Elliot turned and left the room, Weasley with a quick smile quickly followed him.
"I have to get back to my brothers. Bye!" Kiki was quick to leave, all of us rather suspicious of her real destination.
"I should go too, I'd like to be home if I'm going to change into a cat today." I shrugged out of my chair, waved bye and started the walk home. The house, I knew, would be empty.
My parents had gone to live with my grandparents, as they'd both fallen ill. Leaving me all alone in the big house. I won't lie, the house being dark and empty all the time was creepy. My parents had taken almost all their furniture, making it look like a charity case house, or a haunted deserted house.
I could see in the dark almost perfectly, so even though no lights were on, and it was dark out by the time I got home, I could see perfectly. I locked the door as I closed it behind me, and slipped off my shoes.
It'd been another super-hectic day at the cafe, and of course no one had really helped, but rather created more work for me. I was bone tired, and after changing into a light night gown, I immediately fell asleep on my bed.
