This is my first Tokyo Mew Mew fanfic, so no flames please! I'll happily accept CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, and I apologise for the lack of Japanese character names.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. If I did...I would be so happy!
Morning. Grey clouds patterned the lilac sky as an alarm clock rang.
Riiiiiiiiiing! Riiiiiiiiiiiiing!
A strawberry-haired girl sleepily hit out at the clock, causing it to tumble off her white chest of drawers and under her bed, still ringing loudly.
"Stupid clock. Who even invented alarm clocks anyway?", she wondered aloud, reluctantly swinging her legs out of bed.
Her name was Zoey Hanson. Ordinarily enough, she was a teenage girl who wanted to stay in bed. To be fair, that seems reasonable when your alarm goes off at three in the morning on a Saturday.
Zoey muttered to herself about how unfair it was to have to get up in the middle of the night as she got dressed, pulling on black and red thigh-high socks and a short black dress with long sleeves.
Just as she pulled on her favourite denim waistcoat and black Converse, her phone chimed. Zoey jumped at the sound of the text and turned in the direction of the sound, her large chocolate eyes roaming the room for a sign of her pink cellphone. Not a trace. Zoey sighed.
"MiniMew?" she whispered, "MiniMew, come here!"
At first only silence responded to her whispered order. Then, Zoey heard a fluttering of tiny wings, and a small furry creature with large eyes landed on her outstretched hand with her cellphone.
"Text message Zoey, text message!" it chirped.
Zoey giggled. "Thanks MiniMew."
Zoey opened the phone and looked at the message. It was from her friend Corina.
Zoey
Every1 is w8ing 4u.
Get here NOW.
--corina--
Zoey sighed and snapped the phone shut. "Well MiniMew, looks like we're going to be late again."
MiniMew fluttered into the air. "Move faster Zoey, move faster!"
Zoey laughed and batted MiniMew with her hand. "OK, OK, hang on just one second."
Zoey sat in front of her mirror and brushed her choppy red hair into two pigtails and tied them with red ribbon. Then, for the final touch, she tied on the necklace that her boyfriend Mark had given her. She paused, gazing at the necklace. It was a red piece of ribbon with a tiny bell stitched to the front.
Oh Mark, Zoey thought, If only you knew who I really was.
Her thoughts came back to reality as MiniMew pulled her hair.
"Ouch! Hey!" Zoey tightened the ribbon on her left pigtail as MiniMew flew round her head.
"Move faster Zoey! Move faster!" he chirped manically.
Finally Zoey grabbed him and shoved him in her waistcoat pocket.
"Now, keep quiet MiniMew. We've gotta get out of here without Mom or Dad seeing or hearing us. If they do, I'm done for."
With that, she closed her bedroom door behind her, sneaking out into the darkness…
Where is Zoey going, and why? R&R!
