Ichigo Momomiya was not the ordinary teen. It had been a few years since the Mew project. She wasn't the best student but she seemed to be able to graduate. She had broken up with, Masaya Aoyama (a/n: Thank goodness!")She was still working at café mew mew but now all the mews lived there.
"IIIICCHHHIIIGGGGOOOOO!" her angry boss yelled, "Same old Ichigo…never wakes up on time for anything!"
"Ryou, you can't expect me to change old habits can you?" she asked coming down the stairs, in response to her boss yelling. She was tying her apron onto her red dress of a uniform. Ryou turned around to hide the blush that lit up his face.
"Ryou Shirogane! You yell at me to come downstairs and you ignore me flat!?"Ichigo screamed about ready to smack him to America. Too bad she was interrupted by Lettuce. Oh, sweet Lettuce couldn't handle being that way with Ryou. She could barely speak to anyone without being so helplessly nice.
"Uhm Ichigo? We need your help, the uhm… café….well it is very crowded…" that's all lettuce could say before Mint cut her off by saying "Ichigo get your ass in there and wait tables!"
Mint sat back down and sipped her favorite breakfast tea ever so calmly. Ryou went into the kitchen to dodge the enormous fight Ichigo and Mint were about to have. Right then Ichigo's face went deep red.
"I have to get my ass to work! I have to go wait tables?! Mint why the hell do you get to sit on your friggin' ass drinking tea all day!?" lettuce motioned for Ichigo to calm down, but her tirade continued.
In the background Ryou heard Ichigo screaming at Mint how Mint is always drinking tea, and not helping. Too bad he was unable to express his feelings for her. Now that Masaya was out of the way, he should've done it a long time ago. Why was he so scared?
He saw that Keiichiro was looking at him funny. "Uhm, Ryou are you feeling alright…Do I have to close the café? Is there something on your mind?" Keiichiro had always looked after Ryou when his parents died.
"Oh Keiichiro go fill a pastry!" Ryou smiled at Keiichiro to let him know everything was fine.
Ryou walked out of the kitchen to see Mint finishing her tea. He wondered if Ichigo was calm now, maybe then he could tell her soon. He looked around the café, no Ichigo. He went upstairs, he was ready to say something. Until, Ryou came to her room and he saw her sitting by a tree through the window.
"Ichigo…" he mumbled. 'I wonder if something's wrong.' He tried to contemplate her situation. He finally decided to go and talk to her. He turned to see a familiar face in the doorway.
