Chapter 1
At Mew Mew Cafe:
"Mint! Can you please help for once!" Ichigo yelled to her fellow mew mew and coworker, Mint. The blue-haired mew didn't move. "I'm on break," She said, still sipping tea.
Ichigo frowned. "You've been on break for the last half hour!" She shouted. Ryou, noticing the pair, walked up.
"If you girls are goig to argue your going to have to do it outside. We don't want to scare off customers," He said, going back to where he was before.
Ichigo sighed. It had been a year since Deep Blue was defeated, and she still had mew powers. But everything had changed so much. Zakuro quit her job at the cafe, being offered a huge role in an upcoming movie. Lettuce moved away, and Pudding broke both her legs in a stunt. Now only Ichigo, Aoyoma, and Mint were left at the cafe, and Mint never even did anything. Ichigo ran around, taking orders and serving food. A normal day. A boring day.
But not for long.
Soon the cafe closed, and everyone left. It started raining, and soon the streets were empty. Except for one boy, running for his life.
He was wearing a dark gray hoodie, and his jeans were ripped and smeared with mud. His pale hands were bleeding, and his yellow eyes were panicked.
He stopped, and looked around wildly. Spotting the cute cafe, he ran to it. He jiggled the handle, only to find it locked. Panicking, he looked for another way inside. The boy spotted a small window, and squirmed inside. He ran into a basement that not many people knew about, and sat down at the computer.
Files were opened, words were read, but the boy seemed more distressed with every document. On more folder, he told himself. One more folder, and if it's not the one, I'll give up.
The boy opened it up, and laughed in relief. He had found it! He read furiously, every word being burned into his memory. He then closed the file, overjoyed with his sucess.
But joy turned into panic when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. With a surge of agility, the boy ran across the room, and pressed a harmless looking button. The computer seemed to freeze for a moment, and the boy's eyes widened in terror. Had he failed? But miraculously, the computer ran smoothly, files opening and info gathered. On top of the cafe, the cat statue glowed brightly in the dark and rainy night.
"So you thought you could hide? What a sweet thought," A womans voice taunted. The boy snickered. "Your to late. I already sent out the signal. Three girls are becoming mews as we speak. You won't be able to deafeat eight mews!" He said triumphiantly.
"I know," the woman said. "That's why I'm making you do it instead." She stepped closer to the boy, and started to chant.
With the womans low voice in his ears, the boy's vision grew fuzzy. Please... please let this work, he thought as he blacked out.
