"Kiichi-chan! It's almost time for school!"
Kiichigo blinked open her blue eyes to see her friend, Gureapu, standing over her. "Wha-? What time is it?"
"It's almost 7:40." Gureapu crossed her arms.
Kiichigo shot up in bed and grabbed her alarm clock from her nightstand. It read 7:38 AM. "What? That means, school starts in 20 minutes!"
"Yeah, nice job," Gureapu muttered sarcastically. "Well, see ya at school."
"Wait! Don't leave me!" Kiichigo leapt out of bed and made a mad dash to her closet. Her school uniform was hanging there; she snatched it off the hangers and threw her nightshirt over her head.
"Well, I'm not waiting," Gureapu called, walking out of Kiichigo's room. Kiichigo rolled up the cuffs of her shirt and gave a whimper. "I'm almost ready! Just...wait a few more minutes!" She wrapped her skirt around her waist, buttoned it, and quickly tied the green bow under the collar of her shirt.
Gureapu leaned impatiently against Kiichigo's door.
"Almost done!" Kiichigo cried. She sat down on her bed and slipped on her socks. She hastily ran her brush through her red hair and raced into her bathroom to brush her teeth.
When she was finished, she burst into her bedroom and grabbed her backpack. "I'm ready!"
But Gureapu was already gone.
Grunting in frustration, Kiichigo shoved her phone and house key into her skirt pocket and raced downstairs. Her father's best friend and also Gureapu's father, Keiichiro, who also lived at Cafe' Mew Mew, was flipping pancakes over the stove. "Good morning, Kiichigo-san."
"Morning!" Kiichigo jammed a piece of bread into the toaster and turned it on.
"Running a little late this morning?" Keiichiro asked, a bit of humor in his voice.
Kiichigo growled as she adjusted her collar. The toast suddenly sprang out of the toaster. Kiichigo reached out to grab it, and realizing how hot it was, shrieked and dropped it on the floor.
"A little hot?" Keiichiro laughed.
"Just a little!" Kiichigo wrapped the toast in a paper towel and raced to the door. She shoved her school shoes into her backpack and quickly yanked on her hot pink knee, elbow, and hand pads for her roller blades.
"Be careful!" Keiichiro called as she opened the door.
"Don't worry!" Kiichigo replied, closing the door behind her. She sat down on the steps and shoved her feet into her hot pink roller skates. Then she zoomed off, heading to school.
~TMM2G Episode 1: Ribbon, Raspberry Shock! The New Generation of Mews Begins!~
"One, and two, and three, and four!"
Kiichigo concentrated hard on her coach's counting, trying to get the moves right. Kiichigo and her friends were in the cheerleading club, and they loved it.
"That's enough for today, girls!" the coach called. "Nice job."
"Whew! I'm beat!" one of Kiichigo's best friends, Satou Akaii, exclaimed. Kiichigo nodded in agreement. "Let's head over to the cafe' and get some ice cream."
Satou's mother, Ringo, was the cousin of Kiichigo's mother Ichigo. So they were related, but best of friends. Both girls were great at cheerleading; Kiichigo was always full of energy and loved athletics!
Kiichigo and Satou didn't bother changing into their school uniforms; Kiichigo just strapped on her roller skates and the two headed to the cafe'.
When they arrived there, Kiichigo unlocked the back door and headed inside. She could hear the customers in the restaurant, so she quickly took off her skates and tiptoed into the family kitchen. Ichigo, Kiichigo's mother, was there, baking a cake. "Hi, Mom."
"Oh, hello girls!" Ichigo said. Kiichigo eyed her mother; she didn't look as cheerful as usual. She looked as though she were concerned about something. Shrugging it off, Kiichigo got a pint of strawberry ice cream from the freezer and scooped some into two bowls. Satou got out two spoons and the girls headed upstairs towards Kiichigo's room.
Just as Satou approached the top of the stairs, Gureapu appeared from around the corner. Kiichigo nearly fell backwards. "Ahh! Gureapu-san, you scared me!"
"Sorry!" Gureapu cried, squeezing past the two younger girls and racing down the stairs. She hadn't had her club that day, which was swimming, so she was home earlier than them.
The two girls reached the top of the stairs and passed by Kiichigo's father, Ryou's, lab. Suddenly, Satou stopped in her tracks and beckoned Kiichigo over with a wave of her hand. They pressed their ears against the door.
"Ryou...I'm just afraid for her..."
"That's Lettuce's voice!" Satou whispered.
"There's nothing to be worried about," Ryou assured her. "She's a strong young girl, just as you were. You just have to trust me on this."
"But...what if she's like me?" Lettuce sounded like she was crying. "Remember when I first found out I was a Mew Mew? I started attacking people, because I was so afraid! What if that happens to her, too?"
"It won't happen, Lettuce." That was Mint's voice. "You and Suika-chan are two different people."
"Suika?" Kiichigo murmured. That was Lettuce's daughter, but she was a year older than Kiichigo. What exactly were they talking about in there?
Kiichigo and Satou exchanged glances, and scurried into Kiichigo's room. Closing the door, they looked at each other again. Satou flopped onto Kiichigo's bed. "What in the world were they talking about?"
"I don't know." But Kiichigo did have an idea. About 25 years ago, there was a team of Mew Mews: Ichigo, Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, Zakuro, Berry, and Ringo. Kiichigo knew that the aliens were coming back, but she didn't want to say anything about it to Satou. Her father, Gato, and her brother, Ice, were aliens, and had left Satou, her twin Koumi, and Ringo many years ago. She knew Satou was sensitive about that subject.
"Oh, well." Satou placed her bowl of ice cream in her lap and dug into it. "If they were discussing it in private, we're not supposed to know."
"I guess." Kiichigo began to eat, but her mind still wandered about that conversation.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Kiichigo awoke to a dark room. Well, it wasn't necessarily a room...she was actually floating, in a big place of darkness. She glanced down to find that she was naked. Blushing, Kiichigo glanced around. No one was there. She couldn't see a few inches away from her.
Suddenly, two ball of light appeared in front of her. Kiichigo squinted at the lights as they morphed into figures. What are they?
One evolved into a small bunny and the other into a small cat. They were placed at her feet. The bunny squeaked and the cat meowed and rubbed its face on Kiichigo's ankles. "Aww...how cute!" Kiichigo murmured, crouching down to pet the cat. The rabbit pawed at Kiichigo's legs, and she laughed, wondering why she didn't have a pet.
The animals reached out their arms towards Kiichigo's waist. With a gentle leap, they melted into her left hip, the rabbit followed by the cat. Kiichigo gasped and suddenly, everything went dark again.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Kiichi-chan...wake up..."
Kiichigo rolled over in bed, feeling someone gently shaking her. She opened her eyes to dim light streaming in from her window. Her mother was standing over her. "Are you all right?"
Kiichigo blinked in confusion. "Y-yeah...why?"
Ichigo shook her head quickly. "I'm just making sure. Well, it's almost 7; you'd better get ready for school. And it's raining, so you'll have to walk."
"Okay. Thanks." Kiichigo sat up and rubbed her eyes. As she rose out of bed and opened her curtains, she remembered the dream she'd had the previous night. What a strange dream.
Kiichigo slowly got dressed, fixed her hair, brushed her teeth, and headed downstairs. She felt abnormally sleepy; what was wrong with her? What had her mother meant when she asked her if she was all right?
"Good morning, Kiichigo-san." As usual, Keiichiro was in the kitchen, making breakfast. Today it looked like omelets. Kiichigo slumped into her chair and rested her chin on her arms.
"Morning," she mumbled.
Keiichiro placed a plate of omelet in front of her. Kiichigo gave him a weak smile. "Thanks."
"Where's Gureapu-chan this morning, do you know?" Keiichiro asked, flipping an omelet on the stove. Kiichigo shrugged. "Maybe she's late today." She picked up her fork and began to cut a piece from the omelet.
"Morning!" As if on cue, Gureapu entered the kitchen, her hair messed up and the cuffs of her sleeves unrolled.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," Keiichiro joked as he placed a plate of omelet in front of Gureapu's seat. Gureapu smoothed her hair with her fingers and quickly rolled up the cuffs of her sleeves, revealing the single blue stripe underneath.
When Kiichigo looked down at her plate, she saw that it was empty. "Eh? Did someone take my omelet?"
Keiichiro laughed. "You just wolfed it down, actually."
"I did?"
"Yes. Would you like another?"
"Yes, please! I'm starving." Kiichigo was surprised; she'd already eating the whole thing?
Once breakfast was finished, the two girls stepped into their shoes and grabbed their umbrellas: Kiichigo's hot pink, and Gureapu's purple.
It was pouring outside; thunder growled in the distance and puddles of water dotted the sidewalk as the two girls headed to school.
"Are you unusually tired today, Kiichi-chan?" Gureapu suddenly asked.
Kiichigo glanced up at her friend and nodded. "Are you?"
"Yeah."
Thunder rumbled loudly, nearly shaking the whole sidewalk along with it. Kiichigo sighed; perhaps it was the gloomy weather. She hated rain! "Hopefully the weather will clear up in time for cheerleading club after school."
Gureapu chuckled a bit. "It's just like you to say that."
When Kiichigo arrived in her classroom after changing into her indoor shoes and putting away her wet umbrella, she mumbled, "Good morning."
"Morning, Kiichi-chan!" Kiichigo's other best friend, Natsumi Matsumoto, exclaimed. Kiichigo limply raised a hand in greeting.
"What's wrong? You don't look well." Natsumi followed Kiichigo to her desk.
Kiichigo sat down and rested her head on her backpack. "I don't know. I'm just so tired today."
"That's so weird," Natsumi murmured, "because Satou-chan and Koumi-chan are really tired as well."
"Aren't you?" Kiichigo asked. "Gureapu was tired today, too."
"No, I feel fine." Natsumi's expression looked concerned. "Perhaps you should've stayed home today."
"I'm fine." Kiichigo sat up and stretched her arms out in front of her. She hung her backpack on the side of her desk and pulled out a pencil. "The bell is about to ring. You'd better get back to your desk, or else Shiyumi-sensei will kill you."
"Yeah." Natsumi turned and headed back to her seat.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Kiichi-chan! Wake up!"
Kiichigo moaned and lifted her head off her desk. Natsumi, Satou, and Koumi, Satou's twin sister, were standing around her desk, staring down at her. "EHHH!" Kiichigo cried, leaping out of her desk.
"You fell asleep!" Satou exclaimed.
"Well yeah, I figured that out when I woke up!" Kiichigo mumbled, smoothing her skirt down. "What's happening? Did I miss something?"
"Only all of fourth period," Koumi pointed out bluntly. Kiichigo groaned. "So everyone is going to lunch now?"
"Yeah. Gosh, you really are tired today." Natsumi opened Kiichigo's backpack and got out her lunch for her. "Let's eat outside. The rain's stopped."
"But it's still so wet," Satou said, shuddering.
"We can just dry it off. Sensei probably has a towel we can use." Natsumi headed towards the door.
When they found a bench outside, Natsumi opened her bento box. "Yum! Sweet and sour pork. My favorite! What do you have?" She leaned over to see Kiichigo's lunch. Keiichiro was a great cook, and he always made Kiichigo and Gureapu's lunches.
"Rice balls and squid fried soba." Suddenly Kiichigo smelled something. It smelled wonderful: sweet yet smoky and oh-so mouthwatering. She watched as Natsumi began to pick out the carrots from her pork.
"Why aren't you eating those?" Kiichigo asked, her eyes wide. Why would anyone pick out the best part of the meal? Carrots were so delicious!
Natsumi shrugged. "I had carrots yesterday for lunch and dinner. I'm just not hungry for them today."
"C...can I have them?" Kiichigo had to clasp her hands in her lap in order to restrain them from reaching out and grabbing the carrots from Natsumi's lunch.
Natsumi gave her friend a strange look. "Sure, whatever you want."
"Thanks...you're the best friend ever!" Kiichigo stabbed each carrot slice with one of her chopsticks and ate them in one bite. "Mmm. They're so good!"
Natsumi laughed. "I'm glad you think so."
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Girls, you need to focus! Our first performance is in a week!"
Kiichigo took a quick drink from her water bottle and tried to erase from her mind everything that had been strange that day. That dream, her mother, being so tired, craving carrots so much...she just needed to concentrate on cheerleading for now.
"All right. I'm going to give everyone 10 minutes to practice with friends. Critique each other, make sure there's nothing wrong." The coach sat down in the grass and watched the girls.
Kiichigo, Satou, and Natsumi all gathered together. "Let's practice."
"I'll sit out for this one, and you guys can perform first," Satou volunteered. "I'll count."
Kiichigo and Natsumi backed up and got into their beginning position.
"One, two, three, four..."
At the part in the routine where the girls toss their pom-poms into the air, Natsumi's went high. Really high; perhaps 15 feet into the air. A gust of wind blew, sending it flying in the opposite direction.
"I'll get it." Suddenly, Kiichigo jumped up, her arm reaching for the pom. A few seconds later her feet hit the ground and she handed it back to Natsumi. But her friends were staring at her in awe.
"What?" Kiichigo asked, blushing. "Is there something on my face?"
"No...you jumped so high!" Satou exclaimed.
"Eh...I did?"
"I was?"
"Yeah! I'm not exaggerating!"
"Ehh! That's weird!" It was at that point when Kiichigo really knew something strange was happening.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"This math homework is too hard..." Kiichigo muttered, resting her chin in her hand.
"That's because you were asleep during math," Natsumi joked. Kiichigo growled playfully at her friend. "Well, I'm not good at math anyways, so it's no surprise that I don't understand this one bit."
"I can help you, if you want." Natsumi glanced over at Kiichigo's math workbook. "Wha-? You're only on number 1!"
"Like I said, I don't understand this one bit." Kiichigo leaned back in her chair and stretched. "You wanna take a break? We can go to the park."
Natsumi put her pencil down and closed her workbook. "Sure. Let's do it."
The sky was growing cloudy again; occasionally the sun would disappear behind a dark gray cloud. The wind was just starting to pick up again, but it was more of a thick, humid breeze.
"It's not turning out to be a very pretty day," Natsumi commented as they approached the park. "Doesn't look like anyone thought about coming to the park."
Kiichigo nodded in agreement, but said nothing. She was feeling weird...a spot on her hip was just tingling and stinging like crazy. She felt a bit dizzy as well, as though the ground were trembling.
"Are you okay, Kiichi-chan?" Natsumi stepped in front of her friend. "You look pale."
"Eh? I'm fine."
"We can go back to my house, if you want..."
"It's okay! I was just feeling weird for a second."
Natsumi eyed Kiichigo, but said nothing more. "Well, at least the cherry blossom trees are blooming. They look gorgeous."
"Yeah. I love cherry blossoms." Kiichigo struggled to speak. Something bad was about to happen...she just felt it.
"Hey, ladies!"
A male's voice suddenly called out to them. The girls spun around, searching wildly for the source of the voice.
"Up here!"
Kiichigo's eyes fell upon a kid with tall, pointy ears. He had golden-brown hair and appeared to be floating. Yes, floating, right above the ground.
"How did you get up there?" Natsumi cried. "That's not possible!"
"How did you get down there?" he shot back. "The name's Toffee. What's yours?"
"Why does it matter? You're practically flying!" Natsumi argued.
"All right; you're starting to piss me off." Toffee held out his hands; in one was a levitating jellyfish-like thing, and in the other was a squirrel. He clasped his hands together and the squirrel started to glow as the jellyfish thing entered its body.
"What is that?" Natsumi shouted. "What are you doing to the poor squirrel?"
"This? Oh, this is my anima." Toffee looked amused as the squirrel grew giant. "I call this one, Squirrel Anima. Go, squirrel!"
The squirrel, now at least 60 feet tall, gave a loud roar. It turned and swept its tail forward, smacking Natsumi straight back into the bushes.
"Natsumi-chan!" Kiichigo shrieked. She dashed over to her friend, but the squirrel slapped its tail at her, sending her flying. She landed hard on her butt and winced. The squirrel turned around, lifting its paw as though it were about to strike her again. Kiichigo curled into a tight ball and squeezed her eyes closed. I'm going to die. I'm going to be killed by a floating 10-year-old and his giant squirrel.
When Kiichigo opened her eyes, she was sitting on a tree branch with a familiar man standing next to her. Kiichigo blinked a few times. "Dad?"
Ryou smiled. "Kiichigo?"
"Wha...how did you get here?"
"I've been here the whole time."
"Then how did I get here? I mean, in the tree?"
"I kind of...swooped in to save the day."
"What is that giant squirrel thing?"
"A karima anima. It's basically a harmless animal fused with a tiny alien, which was the floating thing that looked like a jellyfish." Ryou seemed to know all the answers.
Kiichigo leaned against the tree trunk and shakily rose to her feet. "I thought the aliens were finished with Earth!"
"Yes, they were," Ryou said bitterly, "but they've come back, 25 years later. You see, Toffee is Tart and Pudding's son. When Tart left about 16 years ago, he took Baby Toffee with him because he was an alien too. Now Toffee is the head of the alien group that has invaded Earth again."
"And what exactly are we going to do about this?"
"Well, you're going to transform with this." Ryou placed something smooth and oval-shaped in Kiichigo's hand. It was a golden pendant with a reddish-pink mark on it. "What is this?"
"Your Mew pendant," Ryou responded. "Now, go get 'em, tiger."
"Ehh? I can't just..." Kiichigo was cut off as Ryou shoved her. Hard. She felt herself teeter on the branch, and eventually fall.
In a few seconds, along with a huge flash of light, Kiichigo landed on the ground with a soft tap of her feet. She glanced down; how did she do that? Then she noticed that her shoes weren't her normal black school shoes. They were red, ankle-length boots with hot pink bows tied at the ankles. Her hands weren't the same either; they were covered in red gloves, wrapped in a hot pink ribbon at the wrist, and splitting into two small red halves above the ribbon. Kiichigo glanced down at her body and widened her eyes. In place of her green-and-white school uniform was a red dress with hot pink fuzz lining the top. Around her waist was a hot pink ribbon that tied into a big bow at the back, and the bottom of the red dress split into two halves, creating a V-shape at her hips and flaring outwards. The halves fell just above her knees and were also lined with hot pink fuzz. Her skirt was hot pink, and around her right thigh was a red garter with hot pink fuzzy lining. At her upper arms were two puffy red armbands, also lined with hot pink fuzz. Her hair was still red, but shined with a hot pink undertone. It was in two long pigtails tied up with hot pink bows. Around her neck, the pendant hung from a red choker lined with hot pink fuzz. The thing that freaked Kiichigo out the most, though, was the pair of white rabbit ears sticking up from behind her pigtails, and the long white cattail that poked out from her dress. There was also a hot pink bow tied around the end.
"It worked! Thank goodness." Kiichigo heard her father breathe from the tree, thanks to her now all-hearing ears. She glared up at him. "What did you do to me? I don't want to be a Mew Mew!"
"You have to face your destiny, Mew Raspberry!" Ryou called back.
Mew Raspberry? Anger boiled in her chest, and she screamed, "I am not Mew Raspberry! I'm Kiichigo!"
"Are we going to just sit here and work out our father-daughter issues, or are we going to fight?" Toffee shouted, interrupting the two bickering relatives. "Squirrel anima, attack!"
Mew Raspberry spun around, widening her now reddish-pink eyes as the squirrel anima charged towards her. It opened its mouth, revealing huge yellow teeth and roared. Mew Raspberry covered her fuzzy white ears in pain. Why did Dad have to make me part rabbit? The squirrel lifted its paw up, creating a ball of light in the air. The light soon formed into an acorn, and the squirrel chucked it at Mew Raspberry. It exploded on the ground just as she leapt into the air, landing in a nearby tree. Acorn bombs! Of course! Just as she thought those words, the squirrel anima hurled another acorn at the tree. Mew Raspberry screamed as she fell to the ground, landing on her side and knocking the air out of her. Another bomb sent her flying into the trunk of a tree that stood right next to the bush that the unconscious Natsumi lay behind.
As Mew Raspberry struggled for breath, Toffee laughed. "If you're the strongest of this new Mew Mew team, the others will be pieces of cake to destroy!"
His golden eyes flickered to the bush beside Mew Raspberry. Natsumi's shoes poked out from the leaves at the bottom, and a grin slowly formed on his face. "And it looks like I get a freebie. Perhaps dinner for my squirrel anima…"
Words began to form in Mew Raspberry's head. "Raspberry…Raspberry Baton!"
A glowing rod of light appeared in front of Mew Raspberry, making her lift her head weakly. It formed into a red baton, wrapped a hot pink ribbon, with hot pink bows on either end. She smiled and grabbed it, heaving herself to her feet. More words were coming to her head. "Ribbon…"
"Ha! You don't even know your own attack phrase!" Toffee sneered. "Finish her off, squirrel anima!"
Just as the squirrel anima formed another acorn bomb, Mew Raspberry began to twirl her baton and shouted with all her might, "Ribbon…Raspberry Shock!" She tossed the baton into the air and caught it, holding it high above her head, as a lightning bolt flew from the top end and into the squirrel. It sizzled, scorching from the electricity, and began to glow as it shrunk down into the size of a regular squirrel. The jellyfish-like object exited the squirrel's body, and the little rodent skittered away in fear.
Toffee howled in anger. "Dammit! Where did you get the strength to defeat it?" His eyes twinkled. "Oh, that's right. You're Mew Ichigo's daughter, aren't you?"
Mew Raspberry narrowed her eyes. "Go back to where you came from, Toffee, unless you want to be struck by lightning!"
"Make me!"
Mew Raspberry twirled her baton once more. "Ribbon, Raspberry…"
"All right, all right! I'm going!" Toffee slowly faded into the trees until he was gone.
Mew Raspberry fell to her knees, feeling exhaustion and shock setting into her battered body. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and looked up to see her father. Tears filled her eyes and she glanced down at the ground. "I'm sorry, Dad…"
"What for?"
"I'm not as strong as Mom was. I was almost killed because I'm so weak."
Ryou kneeled down beside her. "But you weren't killed. You found the strength within yourself to get up and fight back, and eventually defeat the anima. That's what makes Mew Mews so strong, and that's what is making you just as strong as your mother, if not stronger."
"Really?" Mew Raspberry looked up at him. He wiped a tear away with his pointer finger. "Really. Don't cry; you don't look good in tears."
The shock melted away as Mew Raspberry flung herself at her father, hugging him around his neck. He flinched, not being the touchy-feely type, but quickly got over it and hugged his daughter back.
"Now, what are we going to do about your friend?" Ryou asked, eyeing the bush in which she lay unconscious.
"Oh! Natsumi-chan!" Mew Raspberry leapt to her feet and raced over to the bush, peering through the leaves to see her friend's face. Her eyes were closed, much to Mew Raspberry's relief. "Why don't we take her back to her house and pretend like she'd fallen asleep?"
Ryou nodded. "Good idea. I'll carry her." He lifted Natsumi into his arms and began to head out of the park.
"Wait!" Mew Raspberry cried. "I can't just go strolling down the street like this!"
"Oh, yeah," Ryou laughed, "just imagine yourself in your normal form."
Mew Raspberry closed her eyes, picturing herself in her green-and-white school uniform, and opened her eyes again to glance at her hands. They were bare, and her feet were back into their black school shoes. She glanced behind her and sighed in relief when she saw that the white cattail was gone. "Thank goodness!"
"Come on, let's get her home," Ryou said, glancing down at Natsumi in his arms.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Kiichigo?"
She jumped when she heard Natsumi cry out her name. "Y-yes?"
"Are you all right?" Natsumi leapt to her feet. "Where's that Toffee guy?"
"What are you talking about?" Kiichigo asked, trying to sound confused. "Are you all right?"
"I-I'm fine!" Natsumi assured her. "But what happened to Toffee, and the giant squirrel…?"
Kiichigo watched as Natsumi rose from her chair and wandered around the kitchen as though searching for something. "Maybe you should sit back down, Natsumi-chan. You were probably dreaming."
"But I wasn't!" Natsumi's face turned red. "Remember, you didn't get your math homework, so we went to the park, and…"
"You're right, I didn't understand the math homework, but you fell asleep. I didn't want to wake you up. We never went to the park." Kiichigo furrowed her eyebrows.
"Then why does my head hurt so much?" Natsumi slumped down in her chair again and rubbed her head.
"You must've had a really realistic dream," Kiichigo said. She glanced down at the time on her phone and widened her eyes as though she were surprised. "Oh! Wow, it's already a quarter till 6! I'd better get home." She shoved her homework and pencil case into her backpack and swung it over her shoulder. "Thank you for letting me stay here!"
"I'm sorry I fell asleep," Natsumi apologized. "Let me walk you to the door." She unlocked and opened her front door, letting Kiichigo walk past her. "I hope you feel better. See you tomorrow, Natsumi-chan!" She turned and hopped off the porch, turning onto the sidewalk.
"Bye, Kiichi-chan!" Natsumi called from the doorway, a dazed expression still spread across her face.
I feel bad for lying to her, Kiichigo thought as she made her way home, but what else was I supposed to do? I can't very well say, 'Oh, that wasn't a dream! I'm actually Mew Raspberry now, following in my mother's footsteps in order to save Tokyo from evil aliens!' She sighed, neither in happiness nor sadness. Well, I guess my life is just about to get interesting.
