The Hartman Chronicles Season 3 Chapter 1

Hello there, the name is Mochi Akiwa Hartman. I'm the daughter of the legendary Adrian Hartman…okay maybe not legendary but he's a well-known street fighter and Momo Hartman. You may not recognize me on the street, so I'll tell you what I look like. I'm five foot one and weight one hundred and five pounds. It may not be much for a sixteen year old, but I manage. I have white skin, blue eyes, and copper colored hair. I would describe my hair like this I have bangs with longer pieces that frame around my eyes. I usually put it in a barrette to keep the strands from getting into my eyes. There is also a longer layer of hair that goes down to about my shoulders. Finally, the longest layer goes to about the top of my breasts and both sides flip to the right. Just like my mom, I have one strand of hair that sticks up and will never stay down, which drives me CRAZY! Another thing people tend to comment on is the fox print on the top of my left breast. Everyone says it looks pretty but my parents say that it is something more and they hope to "awaken" it someday. I hate waiting. Anyways, I see you've come to me because you want to see how my life is. I'll have to warn you, it is VERY boring. Still here? Very well, welcome to my life.

It was lunch time at my high school and I was sitting next two of my friends, Chris and Alex. We go way back and our parents say they've know each other since my dad was sixteen! Can you believe it? Chris is a female with white skin, green eyes, and brown hair done in a long-chin-length, choppy cut parted to the side, with her bangs partly hanging down over one eye. Alex is a male with white skin and blue eyes along with blonde hair that is long-chin-length, parted in the center with loose bangs draped over one eye.

"Cute top Mochi," Chris smiled, "Showing off that birthmark again, eh?"

"Yes, I am." I said, "Got a problem with that?"

"Not at all, besides, who was voted prom queen last year?"

"You," I said before rolling my eyes.

"That's right!"

"Chris," Alex said, "Don't let your pride take you over again."

Chris huffed, "I was not letting my pride get in the way at all!"

"Excuse me," A voice said, "May I sit here?"

That voice belonged to Ken Aizawa, one of the hottest guys at school! He's everything a girl dreams of. He's nice, honest, talented, and did I mention he's hot?

Oh my god! I thought, Ken Aizawa actually wants to sit by me!

I began to squeal a little before Ken sat down, right next to me. I was red all over.

"Hey Alex," Ken smiled, "You coming to the track meet tomorrow?"

"Nah, I need to get my robot ready for my robotics tournament on Friday." Alex replied.

"Aw, dude, you need to at least make time for friends!"

"Hey I'm surprised you're so popular Mr. Track, Kendo, and Swim team star!"

"Don't forget boxing,"

"Oh yeah, so anyways Ken, how have you been?"

"I've been great," Ken smiled before looking at Chris, "And how is my Ex-girlfriend?"

"Ken, you know I was too good for you," Chris scoffed.

"So that's why you were in tears when I broke up with you?"

"What? Oh that? I was just pretending to cry."

"Right, anyways, did you guys hear that the Mew Mew café is going to reopen."

"Hasn't that place been closed for sixteen years?" Alex asked, "I wonder why it would reopen,"

"I don't know, but from what my mom and dad say that place had some of the best desserts ever!" Ken said as he rubbed his stomach, "I want to go check and see if it is open after school!"

"That sounds like a good idea," Chris said, "Don't you agree Mochi?"

My face was still bright red, "Uh, yeah! We should totally go!"

Ken laughed and patted me on the back before the lunch bell rang.

"I'll meet you guys outside the school," Ken said before getting up.

The three of us nodded, got up, and went back to our classes.

When the bell rang to dismiss school, I ran to the front doors of the school. There Ken, Chris, and Alex were chatting with one another.

"About time Mochi!" Chris laughed, "Now let's go!"

Chris ran off and the three of us followed her to the café. We creaked opened the door and walked inside. The whole place looked like some kind of Barbie doll playhouse. In the middle of it all was a man with green hair and green eyes that looked about eighteen. He had on blue jeans and an orange vest that had a collar that would make Dracula envious.

"Let's see, everything is set up. Now all I need to do is find some Mew Mews and…" The man turned around, "Oh I'm terribly sorry but the Mew Mew café is closed until we can get some staff members."

Ken sighed, "Dang it, come on guys, let's go home."

Ken grabbed Chris and Alex before dragging them outside, I tried to follow after them but I was caught off guard when the man said, "You, however, shall stay."

I turned around slowly, "What do you want?"

"Just to look at you," The man said.

I turned around and drew my fists, "I'll be happy to let you know that my father is a trained street fighter! He will beat you up if you dare touch me!"

"That mark on your upper left breast." The man said, "No doubt about it that is a Mew mark."

"A Mew mark?" I asked.

"Indeed, that signifies that you're a Mew Mew." The man said.

"How would you know?" I asked him.

"I'm glad you asked, the name is Fumio Shirogane. The man who is going to bring back the Mew Mews to save the world!"

"Since when does the world need saving?"

"I suppose you haven't heard, have you? The Ocean Depths CO recently picked up a signal from outer space. That signal said that Earth was going to be attacking in a matter of months. We're going to need everything if we're going to survive."

"And why wasn't this been all over the news?"

"What news have you been watching, it is all over the place."

I sighed, "So I'm really going to become a Mew Mew?"

"Only if you want to and if you follow me."

"Let's go, I've waited sixteen years for the importance of that mark to be revealed and I don't want to wait any longer!"

Fumio motioned for me to follow him; I did so and came to a room that had a huge machine in the center.

"It took me several months to get this up and running, but I managed to do it, now it is time for a test run!" Fumio pointed to a spot on the ground, "Stand there."

I nodded and did so. Fumio pulled a lever on the machine; all of a sudden a red light engulfed my body. I felt my body go numb and my eyes closed. I woke up in the middle of a forest; a fox with huge ears had taken a nap on my chest.

"Hey there little fella," I smiled.

The fox got up and grinned, "You must be Mochi."

"How did you know who I was?"

"My parents and your parents have a deep connection."

"Okay…so what?"

The fox sighed, "Shall we bond?"

"Let's do so."

The fox nodded and jumped into my stomach. I freaked out for a second before waking up in the room with Fumio.

"Good to see you're back here in reality." Fumio joked before helping me up. The sound of gears grinding echoed throughout the café.

"What is that?" I asked.

"That is the Chimera Alarm, but I tweaked it a bit so that it can also track if those Aliens get here. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get it back to its original sound.

"I kinda like it," I smiled.

"Glad you do, but you've got to defeat those Aliens."

"Alright," I said before running out the door.

"Make sure to come here tomorrow, you know you work here now!"

"Fine," I huffed getting out of hearing range. After a few minutes of running I came to a water fountain in Tokyo Park. There Ken was trying to defend himself against three chrome colored men with ruby visors for eyes. Ken landed a punch to the chest of one of the robots and sent it back a bit before clutching his hand in pain.

"Note to self, never EVER do that again unless I have proper equipment on!" He sighed.

I felt some words on the tip of my tongue, "Mew Mochi Metamorphosis!"

I closed my eyes for a few seconds and soon opened them. I realized that I now had on one of the most girlish outfits any person could ever wear! It looked like a peach orange ballerina's tutu, only instead of going outward it when down to my knees. It was followed by several pale yellow frills (or whatever they put in those fancy dresses). I had on fingerless Deep carrot orange gloves and boots. I noticed a pale orange leg garter with a dark orange trim had appeared on my right thigh. My bangs had become longer and my longer layer of hair that goes down to about my shoulders was still there. I now had an orange headband and my hair was pulled into a loose side ponytail on my right side. My hair in the back was slightly curled but still had that annoying strand of hair that sticks up on the top of my head. Fox ears and a fox tail sprouted out of their appropriate ends.

"Gosh dang it," I sighed, "Could this get any worse?"

When finished saying that a huge bassoon appeared on my back. I took it out, "Now what am I supposed to do with this?"

Ken turned around, "Mochi? Is that you?"

"Who else do you think I could be Ken?"

Ken began to laugh out loud, "That has got to be one of the worst costumes ever, what did that guy do to you?"

I held my bassoon like a bazooka and pointed at Ken, "Ribbon Mochi Rocket!" I yelled.

A decent size, heart shaped rocket flew out of my bassoon and at Ken. Ken barley dodged it and hit one of the robots, obliterating it.

"Holy crap!" Ken exclaimed, "Were you trying to kill me or what?"

"I have no idea it would do that," I exclaimed, "But that was awesome!"

The other two aliens ran towards us and I looked at Ken, "You get one and I'll get one."

Ken nodded and ducked down. I pulled out my bassoon and whacked the alien coming at me. It flew into a tree and I noticed that sparks were coming out of his neck. Ken tripped the alien that was attacking him. The alien fell into the fountain and began to overload. A few seconds later it stopped moving.

"And that is how it is DONE!" Ken smiled.

I rolled my eyes, "Hey I had a part to play in it too!"

Ken laughed and I demorphed.

"So should I tell Chris and Alex about this?"

"About what?"

"The whole you turning into a fox girl with a bad dress sense."

I smacked him upside the head.

Ken laughed, "I'll take that as a not right now, very well." He began to walk away.

So this is what it is like to be a Mew Mew huh? I thought, this is going to be awesome! I wonder how Mom and Dad will take the news.
