"Welcome to cafe mew mew how may I...Oh!"
Zoey had been in the middle of greeting a customer, when a beautiful young woman walked through the doors.
"Wow...what a pretty girl!"
"Excuse me!"
"Oh, sorry, please come this way."
The woman walked up to the counter and smiled at Wesely,
"Hello there miss, what can I get for you?"
"Hm, maybe you can help me, see I'm looking for a miss momomiya,"
"Oh, then you'll want to speak woth Zoey."
"Yes, thats right."
"Hold on just a moment."
"Pardon me, Zoey,"
"Hm? Whats up Wesely?"
"There is a young lady who wishes to speak with you at the counter, over there."
"Oh, alright, thank you."
Zoey headed over to the anxiously waiting woman.
"Hello,"
"Hi! Wow, I'm sorry for pulling you away from your work."
"Thats alright."
"Wow! You've certainly changed!"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh! I'm so sorry! Where are my manners today, my name is Anya Higurashi."
Zoey just stood there, in a daze.
"Did...did you just say Anya, Higurashi!"
"Mhm, thats right, I'm back Zoey and hopefully, I'm back to stay."
Zoey and Anya hugged.
"I'm taking my break!" She called to the back, but got no answer.
The girls began chatting away at a table.
"So, when did you get back?" Zoey asked.
"Last night, mom and dad decided that it was time to come back, and so I thought I'd look you up."
"I'm so glad you did too! I've missed hanging out with you, and your parents, always the best of parents."
Anya giggled and nodded, "Yeah, i have a baby sister now, her name is Mika."
"Mika, means New Moon, very cute and pretty."
"Yeah, mom and dad like it, though dad still doens't like the new moon nights."
"Will he ever stop not liking them?"
"I don't think so. Oh and my times of the month are cresent moon nights."
"Wow, there are alot of those,"
"I know, but that means that I get to go and visit mom and dad's best friends on those nights, also, its a time for me to hang with my family."
"Thats sweet."
"Yeah, so how long have you been working here?"
"Oh, about three years now, actually that anniversary is coming up very soon, three days to be exact."
"Wow, so whats your boss like?"
"Oh,. well, lets go introduce you two."
"Really! Isn't she busy?"
Zoey led Anya to the back, where a blond young man sat reading a book.
"Nope, actually, he is reading a...girly mag."
"Do you want something? Chatter box?"
"Don't be rude, anyway, I'd like you to meet my best friend since childhood."
The blond looked up and looked at Anya, who was in shock, when she saw his baby blue eyes.
"I'd like you to meet my boss, E..."
"Elliot! Elliot Grant!"
"Ah...okay, do you two know each other?"
Anya nodded, "Yes, we do, you do remember me don;t you Elliot?"
"Ah...I think so...who are you agian?"
"Anya! I'm Anya!"
"A...ANYA! Holy SHIT!"
Zoey stood back as Anya embraced Elliot.
"Wow, what...what are you doing here in Japan? I thought your mother never wanted to come back!"
"I know, but my grandmother is ill my mom came to help her out around the shrine, since my uncle left for a US university two years ago."
"Wow...again, I say wow...and..." He looked at her closely,
"WOW!"
Anya giggled, then did something very unexpected, she pressed her lips to Elliot's in one swift movement.
The kiss was unexpected, but welcomed.
"I've missed kissing you, Elli,"
"Hey! I thought you didn't want people calling you Elli!" Zoey teased.
"Anya, is far different them any of you girls, no offense."
"None taken, what do you mean? If you mean her heritage, I already know, like I said we've been friends since we were very, very, young."
"Not that!"
Anya giggled and took Elliot's arm,
"What he meant is that he and I have a very, very, very special relationship, isn't that right Elli?"
"Well, I suppose, if you call a 12 year old kid asking you to marry him, that, then yeah."
"Whoa! You...you're engaged!"
Anya smiled. "Elli asked me the day before that horrible incident happened."
"Hm."
"I cried for some many ngiht Elli, I thought you'd been in there too."
"Well, as you can see, I wasn't and moved here to Japan, with Wesely."
"Oh! Right, you're father's assistant,"
"Thats right."
"I thought I recongnized you Anya," Wesely came into the back for something.
"You've really grown up, hasn't she Elliot?"
Elliot blushed, and nodded, "Ah...yeah, she has..."
"So, when do you want it to be?"
"When do I want what to be?"
"Our wedding silly...you...you were serious about that weren't you?"
"Ah...I..."
"Elli? Were you serious when you said you loved me or not?"
"Well...um...hey, Zoey, Wes, could you give us some privacy."
"Sure."
The brunette and red head left the room, giving the fiancees' plenty of time alone.
"Well?" Anya demanded.
"Of course I meant it Anya, and yes I still love you, and still want to marry you...but...if I recall your father wasn't too keen on the issue."
"I know, but thats because I was only 9,"
"True...ha...let me give it some thought alright?"
"Of course," Anya went to leave,
"Oh, come by the shirne tomorrow night, mother and father will be happy to see you again. They were worried too. Well,"
She kissed him again, as Bridget was coming into the back and saw it all.
"I'll see you later k, Elli."
"Sure will. God, its great to see you agian after so many years."
"Hm, I love you Elli,"
Bridget's eyes went wide,
"I love you too Anya, always have and always will, no matter what happens,"
"Same here, after all, you were my first and only kisses."
"Hope so."
"You are. See you." Anya left and Elliot seemed to be in a daze.
He was so dazed her never noticed the green haired girl retreat back to the kitchen.
"Hey, Bridget, whats up?" Zoey asked, noticing Bridget's meloncholy aura.
"Oh, nothing...um...do you know the girl that was in the back with Elliot?"
"Mhm, her name is Anya, and she is my best friend from childhood."
"Oh..."
"Is there somthing wrong?"
"Ah...no...oh who am I kidding, yes."
"Well, you can tell me, whats bothering you?"
"I was heading to the back to get something and saw Anya kissing Elliot."
"Oh, yeah, she and him are apparently engaged,"
"What! Oh! now I feel worse."
"Hm? Wait...do...do you like Elliot?"
"Mhm,"
"Oh...oh..."
Briget sighed, and smiled a fake smile. "Well, nothing i can do about it, they're engaged, so I wont interfere."
"Bridget..."
"Thanks for listening, Zoey, you always make me feel batter..."
"Even thought you're trying to hide the fact that you are still upset?"
"?"
"I can tell."
"Yeah...well...see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, and I wouldn't worry much about it, k."
"K. Night."
"Night."
Zoey left the cafe and headed for her apartment. Suddenly, Anya came to walk beside her.
"Zoey!"
"Hm? Oh, hey, Anya,"
"Hey, so where you headed?"
"Home, I have school in the morning,"
"Aww, same here, what high?"
"Ah..I don't know the name of it, but it's a really cool high school."
"Cool, I'm going to my mom's old high, she's even giving me her old uniform for the first day, then I can get my own."
"Why only the first day?"
"Well, dad likes ir when mom puts it on, makes him do the horny puppy dance."
Zoey giggled, "You're father is a real horn dog, eh?"
"Yep, perfect for him to, he's horny and hes a dog."
The girls laughed all the way to Zoey's place.
"Hey, you want to stay the night?"
"I'd love to, but can't school remember."
"Right, right, sorry, I keep forgetting."
"Thats alright...hm?"
"Whats wrong?"
"I...I thought I just saw someone fly into your window."
"What! Argh! It had better not be him, or I will not be a happy cat!"
"Better not be who?"
"This guy I know,"
"Oh, want me to come up with you?"
"Nah, if it is him, he wont be here for long, I'll send him packing right back to where he comes from."
"Ha, ha, you've always been a tomboy, Zoey. See you later."
"See you, hey stop by the cafe after school."
"Sure will where else can I see my bf and my fiance?"
"Ha, ha, true, bye."
"Bye." Anya left and Zoey went up to her apt.
