Never written a songfic before ^^" so might be a little weird :)

Anyway! ^_^ I like listening to Katy Perry at the moment so that would be the reason for using her song (listening to the track whilst reading Tokyo Mew Mew Fanfics all the bloody time ^^ Haha!)

Disclaimer – I do not own Katy Perry (lol), her songs or TMM ^_^

Edited – because the guys in the big trunks bullied me in to taking out lyrics because of the copyright laws that I apparently broke, even though money is not being made from this/I'm not selling it in anyway/I'm not claiming it as my own :p Anyways, hope the feels are still there, enjoy~

* ~ Not Like The Movies ~ *

Ichigo was waiting anxiously at the table in her kitchen for her boyfriend of almost five years. He had told her to wait for him so that he could talk with her after work finished today.

'I hope there's nothing wrong,' Ichigo thought, twiddling her thumbs.

Just then the front door opened letting in a cold gust of wind, just before it was slammed shut again, making Ichigo jump slightly.

Masaya Aoyama entered the kitchen and shot a dazzling smile Ichigo's way as he set a brief case down on the table in front of them. He then slid his long thin coat off and slung it on the back of one of the dining table chairs.

"Afternoon, Ichigo," he greeted her formally, "Good day?"

"It's been alright," Ichigo shrugged with a forced smile, though he hadn't noticed – he never did. 'Yeah, had an absolutely great day being alone all the bloody time,' Ichigo thought sarcastically, 'If only he'd spend more time with me. Then I'd know he really loves me too.'

"Okay. Well then," he started grabbing her full attention. He seemed to be nervous about something as he was playing with the cuff links on his shirt. This intrigued Ichigo, as she was usually the awkward one in their relationship, and she subconsciously leaned toward him waiting for him to continue.

He walked around the table and stopped in front of her getting down on one knee. Ichigo held her breathe, eyes wide, "Ichigo Momomiya. You and I have known each other for a while now and I hope you know how much I love you. I would like to spend the rest of my days with you, Ichigo…will you marry me?"

Ichigo starred down at the ring he had presented her with, amazed and rendered completely speechless. She could only nod with an excited exceptionally happy smile. He seemed all too pleased with her reaction and acceptance and threw his arms around her waist, picking her up and spinning her around. Ichigo giggled excitedly.

Masaya then placed his future wife back down in her seat, getting back down on one knee and holding her hand gently to slide the ring in place.

"Ah!" Ichigo exclaimed disappointed, "It's too big."

"Oh don't worry, honey, I'll get it resized, okay?" Masaya promised, kissing the top of her head. He then picked up his coat and brief case and quickly explained before leaving the house again, "I have to go again. I'm already late for quite an important meeting. See - that's how much I love you."

With that, he left.

Ichigo sighed fed up. 'Yeah, he's prepared to miss important meetings for me – wow! How lucky am I?' she thought sarcastically. She then looked down at the ring and smiled to herself…but she couldn't help but feel something wasn't quite right about the idea.

Ichigo had always thought that she knew he was the one. She'd loved him from the start and that was that. But as the years had moved on, near the age of nineteen, Ichigo couldn't help but think how it was possible that she really fell in love being so young. It was love…but was it true love?

She never felt the way they said you were supposed to feel in the stories she had read or the movies she had watched.

Just then Ichigo heaved a heavy sigh shaking her head, deciding to get up and go get ready for bed. She was beginning to think just how childish and immature she was being. To ever believe in such a thing as 'true love'.

Once again, Ichigo sighed starring at herself in the mirror. She wasn't meant to feel this way. She was meant to be overjoyed but there was a voice in her mind telling her this wasn't right and that he wasn't the one to be with.

She didn't like this feeling it confused her and made her feel awfully frustrated with the difficulties of love. But of course no one she spoke to would understand; they all knew just how much she loved 'Aoyama-kun' so then why did she have a reason to not want to marry him?

Ichigo just supposed it was because nothing in her life had turned out the way she had planned it all as a child. Her story where she was the princess and he was the prince to come and capture her heart and devote his whole life to her had morphed in to something along the lines of the original idea.

Instead of a princess, she was a mew. Instead of a prince, he was a knight – as in the Blue Knight. Instead of devoting his life to her, they had moved in together and he would spend early mornings and late nights with her unless work demanded extra time – and it usually did.

Ichigo got in to bed shrugging it off like she usually did. There was no doubt that she loved him…she just wished he'd stop to think about the way she felt sometimes.

Making breakfast one morning a few weeks later, Ichigo just stared blankly down in to the frying pan, feeling regretful.

She had woken up in an empty bed once again.

In the few weeks she had realised that her beloved Aoyama-kun really wasn't the one she was looking for. He was just so perfect…and clearly too perfect for Ichigo's liking.

That said, she hadn't told him how she felt yet and she didn't even know how to start either. But trying to think of a way was just upsetting her and causing unwanted stress.

Ichigo had decided not to give up on the whole soul mate idea just yet. She concluded that she just hadn't found him – yet. If she waited patiently he might just appear to her and sweep her off of her feet like she dreamt he would.

Setting her food on a plate Ichigo smiled to herself.

'I'll find him some day,' she thought determinedly, 'Even if it's my last, I'll find him.'

There was a knock on the door that startled Ichigo. It was still quite early – six o'clock in the morning! She wasn't expecting anyone and Masaya was never home this early! What?

"Wait just a moment!" Ichigo called out as she grabbed her keys off of the side and almost ran to the door. She turned the lock and opened it wide. But there wasn't anyone there.

"What the-?" Ichigo sighed and shut the door, mumbling, "Damn, neighbourhood kids! Can't they find anything better to do? I never did that!"

Ichigo turned and gasped.

"Hey, koneko-chan," Kish said greeting her with an uncertain smile. Probably wondering whether Ichigo would be angry to see him and try to kill him or happy to see him and –hopefully, if he was lucky – present him with a long awaited kiss. A friendly peck on the lips or a passionate embrace was okay by him – he wasn't picky.

"Long time, no see, huh?" he added when she remained in silent shock.

She blinked and licked her dry lips trying to find some words to reply with. After a minute she whispered, "What are you doing here? What about the Mew Aqua? Didn't it work? Are your people okay?"

He smiled, happy that she was concerned for his race, "They're fine, Koneko-chan, the Mew Aqua worked!" Ichigo gave a sigh of relief before he continued, "I, on the other hand, was not fine."

"Huh?" Ichigo tilted her head to the side with a quizzical expression, "How so? Are you ill?"

"Yeah," he confirmed chuckling softly, "I'm sick. I'm love sick."

It was quiet for a moment until Ichigo said, "You came back for-"

"For you, koneko-chan," Kish finished.

Ichigo huffed and placed her hands on her hips with a stern look on her face, "I thought I made it perfectly clear that I didn't want to run away with you."

"Well then, it doesn't matter because there's no need to run away anymore!" he pointed out, "Look, I'm not saying that you have to be with me – though it's hard for me not to. I just want your happiness. All I'm gonna do is stick around for a while and come for a visit every now and then."

"Every now and then?" Ichigo repeated with a raised eyebrow.

He laughed awkwardly, "you know me too well – but yes!"

Ichigo couldn't help but laugh too and shake her head at him. She stepped closer and gave him a warm, friendly hug nothing like she'd ever given him before. He sighed contently, letting her hold him with her arms around his neck and her head resting on his chest.

"Ichigo?" he whispered.

She looked up at him waiting for him to continue.

He gulped and looked nervous and uncomfortable, "I don't know if this is really what you wanna hear but…y'know…I still love you."

They stared in to each others eyes as the words grew more deep and meaningful with each passing second.

"I know," Ichigo finally replied and then added with out any emotion, "And…I think I love you too."

"What?" Kish asked as if he couldn't believe his ears.

That's when Ichigo smiled finally having faith in her words and hugged him tightly as she cried out, "I missed you!"

And it's just the beginning

"Ichigo? Why are you wearing an engagement ring?"
