Monday 12: 02 p.m.

Great!

I was walking to the café, as I looked up at the sky, gray, rain clouds approached nearby. I sniffed my nose and rubbed my eye as I felt a cold coming on already.

"Earlier today it seemed fine. Why now?" I asked myself.

Sigh.

Everything's been boring lately anyways… I haven't seen Kish in what feels like forever, as well as the other aliens… It's not like me to wonder though…

Nya.

I felt a strong breeze pass me by, that sent chills up the sides of my covered arms. I grasped tighter to my jacket.

I looked up to find that I wasn't so far away from the café. I smiled a bit and continued walking. I wanted to make it before the big storm blew over. Ryou said we were supposed to be busy tonight… I wonder why. It seemed he said something about a private party… I wonder if it's going to be anything like the one we had when Ryou's friend from America came down. He actually wore a tux! Yeah a tux!

Nya!

Okay, that last one just kind of slipped out. I really need to stop doing that. I smiled at myself.

I soon approached the door of the café and opened the door. I spotted Mint, Zakuro, Pudding, and Lettuce, all in their costumes serving tea and cakes and whatever else…

It WAS busy.

"Goody." I whispered.

I swiftly flipped the bottom of my short, luscious hair as I passed Ryou. I smirked a little, considering-.

HA! I made him take a double take!

"Nya!" I let out, quickly putting my hand back over my mouth.

I walked into the back room changing into my work outfit. I slipped it on and quickly headed back out into the main room. All I heard was talking and commotion.

"No! I wanted this!" – "No! That's wrong! I said-!" – "You imbecile! I don't drink orange juice with pulp!"

Snobby Richies…

"So, what do I do?" I asked Ryou. He turned and glared at me like I was stupid. I just glared back, persisting my question.

"Take orders! What are you paid for?" he answered rudely. I just turned my head from him, trying not to go off in front of customers…

Heck! What do I care?

"Here you are madam." I tried smiling through my tiredness. The lady snatched her small orange crème cake from my silver platter, and sniffed it as if there were something wrong. I eyed her.

"What?" I asked, trying to keep tame.

"Wrong shade of orange. This is more of a peach." She snubbed her nose.

Peach? I'll show YOU peach!

"Okay." I said, holding down my mouth tightly, trying to not go off. She was just my second guest serving today, and I was already sick of her… What's worse is, I don't even know why she's here. I mean, Ryou's not in a tux-

Too bad…

Everyone's working his or her butt off without a word-

Good for Mint…

But, I just don't get it…

Sigh

-

Like three hours later, quite a few of the people cleared. There wasn't as many and the voices of the crowds were getting softer. I guess because it was pretty late-

BOOM!

And the rain, lightning, and thunder, perhaps… Oh well, at least it's dying down, thankfully! I don't get paid enough for this…

N-ya.

After, the couple last customers left I heard a loud boom and another flash of light. I was sitting down in a chair, stretching out my legs. I got up, taking my tray to the kitchen for Keiichirou to wash…

That's, when I saw it-

Monday 12: 16 p.m.

Ichigo was late again, as always. You can't expect much out of a lazy cat, I guess… It's just; I knew there was going to be a lot of customers, just not this many. At least I'm not working. The girls were sweating just from running back and forth from the kitchen.

Ha.

In a cruel, strange sort of way, it's kind of funny seeing Ichigo work that much… I smirked at myself. It just makes me wonder, however, why it WAS busy in the first place. The great vine goes a long way I guess, but… well, maybe Keiichirou told me… Or was it Mint? Zakuro? I rubbed my chin as I watched the girls pace back and forth on the floor.

Ichigo?

No she came in late- Lettuce? - Oh forget it. It doesn't matter anyways, right?

Right?

Zakuro just looks so, stunning this evening. I don't think she's ever looked better in that work outfit.

Mmm.

What the heck am I thinking?

Focus.

"What do I have else to do? Hmm." I thought. I actually think I've finished everything I was supposed to… Think I should help out the girls?

Nah.

-

Later, everything had died down the girls had stopped running around and were resting. I figured I might as well sit down. I sat down and glared out the window at the pouring rain. I watched as Ichigo stood up with her platter and walked into the kitchen.

BOOM.

Lightning flashed outside with a dash of thunder.

I got up out of my seat, taking one last glance outside, and then I headed into the kitchen. I pushed open the door to find Ichigo standing there and-

Monday 12: 18 p.m.

As I peeped out the window I could feel a heavy rain approaching. I narrowed my eyes as I sat down a customers order at her table. I smirked enough at them for them to eat and leave me alone.

I'm always in a bad mood during a storm.

What does it matter? It doesn't. I continued to glance at Ryou, as I kept noticing that every so often he'd stare at me…

Weird.

I guess.

Wye.

-

BOOM.

I heard a loud pop of thunder and a quick flash of a zap. I could feel my tail wanting to pop up. I didn't let it, of course. I'm the eldest of the Mews, I need to show it by controlling my powers the best I can. I walked over to the kitchen with my platter, curious, as previously seeing Ryou walk in… I saw Ryo and-

Monday 11: 33 p.m.

Sigh.

Onee-chan never pays any attention to me. I try and I try… Even when I'm working hard like today, she doesn't notice me. What's a girl to do?

Chirp.

My spine grew chills, I could feel a powerful storm approaching. It was still pretty early. Everyone was still working. I basically just pretended to run back and forth while, mainly, I tended to one couple.

Smart, beautiful me!

I was so bored. Shirogane-san wouldn't even let me take my tea break!

Humph!

He said it was too busy. What do I care? You've got four other workers; have them take care of it, Oh Master!

Whatever.

The café was still pretty full. I decided, you know, I was hungry, so I went into the kitchen to get something to eat. To my surprise I saw-

Monday 7: 58 p.m.

I had gotten finished up cleaning a table when I noticed, everyone seemed to have disappeared or, walked out of the room momentarily.

Did something happen?

Sigh.

No one tells me anything. The only other person in the room was Pudding. She was playing around with a rubber ball she had found under the table earlier… I sat down on a chair as I watched Pudding.

Why doesn't Ryou ever notice me?

It's bad the other girls don't include me sometimes but Ryou- He ignores me I must say. It hurts sometimes, but I have to hold it together!

"I'm Midorikawa Lettuce!" I told myself. I shoulder be more confident and not so confided. I'm just so shy…

I can't help it!

Boom.

I jumped upon hearing a loud collapse of thunder and a small flash of lightning. I got a little frightened. I skittishly walked over to the kitchen trying to find someone… That's when I saw it. Zakuro and-

Monday 11: 09 p.m.

Na no da.

I let out a rather humungous sigh, as I plopped down on the floor. All I've done is work! Work! Work! I look around and I see all my friends, rushing and working!

Na no da…

"I'm so tired…" I whispered to myself. I tried standing up just pushing on my hands. It was hard but I did it! I'm strong like that! I've always been.

I smiled at me.

I stood up smiling at all the customers; all but one lady frowned. She smiled back at me. I smiled bigger. I grabbed my silver platter that was covered in crumbs! And took it into the kitchen. That's when I saw Mint and-

Please review!!! I'm not sure how long it'll take me to update but, it shouldn't take too long.
