Part 1
Prologue
Have you ever just sat down and thought about the difference between light and darkness? Well good, I didn't think it was a regular conversation topic, but that's not the point. Well I'm in this book to tell you my story and unless you're just holding the book up so the teacher will think your reading I guess you're going to read this book.
It all started when I entered the lottery and won… five tickets to fly to Japan. So I choose to take my four best friends with me to Japan (Jackie, Opal, Sugar, and Love). Of course my mom and I didn't see eye to eye on that one…
"…But Mom it's not like I'm going alone"
"You're only a teen-ager you need parental supervision"
"It's not like I'm turning into a super hero and going to single handedly save the world"
"That may be but you can't go without any adults"
"But mom"
"I said no"
"But mom"
"No"
"Mom"
"NO"
"Ok, the plane leaves at seven"
So that may be a dirty trick used in cartoons, but it is my book things happen my way.

Chapter 1
On the way to Japan we got to sit in the first class section. THE FIRST CLASS SECTION, you know where all the rich people sit.
"You know that I have a plane better than this at home, if you had only said that you wanted to go to Japan you could have said so" Jackie Commented frequently (by the way she filthy rich)
"So what are you looking forward to doing when we get there, Shiny" Opal asked
"Well I heard of this cute little café, called café mew mew" I said
"Oh yeah that reminds me I hear that Japan has some awesome malls" Love almost screamed the words out she was obviously excited.
"Seriously" Opal mimicked Love's attitude.
"Enough talk about Japans malls everyone knows that France has the best malls" Jackie commented
"So why are you coming then" Love retorted
"I saw this rich girl in the news apparently her name is Mint (who would name a kid that) and she's richer than I am so I want to meet her."
"Well, I hope we get to meet Godzilla!" Sugar exclaimed
The rest of the plane ride was pretty quite.
"Yeah we're finally of that boring hunk of metal" I said "time to go check in to the hotel."
It was hard enough finding witch hotel was ours did you know that in Japan all the hotel signs are in Japanese.
Go figure. Any way when we did find it we asked if they had any reservations for American people. And of course the little man behind the counter started to speak Japanese.
Then this really tall girl with dark purple hair walked up to us and asked if we needed any help. So I accepted the help because I wouldn't get in the hotel room otherwise. So she spoke some Japanese to the hotel-counter man. Then she turned to us and said that we had room 515 which is on floor 5.
"By the way I'm, Zakuro Fujiwara" She said as she returned to whatever she had been doing before she helped us.

Chapter 2
The next day we went shopping, we definitely needed proof that we had gone to Japan if our other friends at school were to believe us. We were just coming out of a store with a name I could not read when I ran into a girl by accident she had strawberry-ish red hair and at first it looked like she had cat ears.
She said something I couldn't understand but I did hear her say "Ichigo" witch I knew was the Japanese word for strawberry.
The day after that we just went to the park there we saw this street performer named Pudding who gave us a show in return for 10 dollars. It was actually a good show she twirled plates, balanced on a ball, and did plenty of other wacky stunts.
The days began to fly by then it happened we only had one day left of Japanese enjoyment so we went to café mew mew to check it out; the service was sooooooo slow that we decided to go to the back room to complain, hopefully to someone who spoke English.
Instead of ovens and pots and kitchen stuff like I had expected (seriously this is supposed to be a café) the back room was full of stupid computer junk, crap, and other stuff that I couldn't describe with words. I stood there staring around the room when I noticed a glowing statue of a tiger in the middle of the room and apparently everyone else saw it to because we all slowly made our way toward it.
Some man came in the door and began to yell something at us (in Japanese) but then suddenly there was a bright flash of light and for that moment I saw nothing. In a few seconds time I was no longer blinded but I felt kind of different. The man said something.
"Huh"
"Oh so you speak English" he said then he muttered in a hardly audible "Americans…of course, they never listen."
Behind me my friends were all chattering but then Jackie said something that stood out above the rest of the chatter "Shiny, you have… a… tail…?"
I looked into a mirror on one of the walls, she was right I had a tail. Not only did I have a tail but I had cat ears too. Wait there's more I was wearing a pink and purple one-sleeve dress and platform boots. It looked totally awesome but how would I explain this to mom; oh mom while I was in Japan I decided to take up consplaying.
"What is going on here?!?!" I screamed
my friends had outfits similar to mine but kind of different.
"You five have become mew mews" he said I wasn't sure what a mew mew was but I was to shocked to ask then he continued "a mew mew is a girl with animal powers, Tokyo mew mew is the team of mew mews saving the world from the aliens that are invading earth"
"So what does this have to do with us?" Opal asked probably doubting what he was saying.
"I…don't…know…more… mews…" he trailed off "I didn't plan for it to happen this time…I didn't think we would need more super heroes… Tokyo mew mew should've been enough to…maybe they're back" he began to mumble under his breath
"I can't be a super hero! I just can't" Love said pleadingly.
"Of course you can, Love, see you have wings right there." sugar said cheerfully.
"What!?!?!? I. Have. Wings." Love Shouted
So of course you see where that part of the conversation was going.
"Anyway my name is Ryou Shirogane" he said "may I at least know your names?"
"Shiny" I said calmly
"Jackie" Jackie spoke with a clear what's-it-to-ya attitude
"Opal" Opal tired to sound cute but it didn't quite work
"Love" Love said hesitantly still surprised by being a super heroine
"And me Sugar" Sugar said her enthusiasm flowing everywhere
"Here you might need these" he said and handed us each something.

Chapter 3
The flight back home wasn't quite as interesting as what happened in Japan so I won't bother to tell you anything about it.
Once we were home life was pretty "normal" if you can call any part of my life normal. On the second day back we decided to go and meet at the park to decide what we would do about the whole super hero thing.
So we were just talking when someone's voice just suddenly comes out of nowhere and says "So, this is what we're up against hardly even a challenge" then I saw three figures appear on the horizon.
"Well just so you'll know before we kill you I'm Cream, and these are my partners in crime Kyrstal and Tracy." Well I guess it was the one in the middle who said it because she pointed to the left and right as she said the names other than her own.
"Can I kill them now?" said the one on the left (Tracy)
"Sure" some one said I didn't know who.
She jumped into the air and next thing I know she's floating and a large tidal wave of pond-water from the small pond behind her was quickly coming towards us.
And I shout "MEW MEW SHINY METAMORPHOSIS!!!" I don't know where the words had come from I just know that I had a tail again. All my friends shouted similar things but I wasn't paying any attention I was too focused on the title wave headed right for us.
Then I could barely believe it but I jumped about twenty feet into the air doing several flips on my way up and called out "LUNAR ROD!!!!" okay… where these words were coming from. A short staff with a crescent moon on it fell from the night sky and landed right in my hand.
"RIBBON SHINY STAR!" a bright flash of light, almost blinding, shot from the end of my staff straight at the aliens… is that what they were, they looked human…
Immediately I looked and saw that it seemed that the others had done similar things (I know it's vauge) again and were as confused as I was (I was happy that I wasn't the only one).

Chapter 4
They were aliens they attacked almost every night this week. I'm pretty sure that the others were going through similar changes, but it was awkward for me so I didn't plan on asking them. I'm going to spend the rest of this chapter telling you how being a mew mew has changed my life in a week.
So, fighting evil aliens at like midnight almost every night leaves a person pretty tired in the morning. It doesn't give much homework time either. So my grades slipped from B's to C's.
On the bright side I started getting better in gymnastics.
Being infused with a tiger makes showers quite unpleasant. Water isn't very fun any more. My showers are now about one tenth as long as before.
Oh, and one non-fighting night I figured cats can see in the dark so I transformed to read secretly, guess what I didn't need to see in the dark. I was glowing in the dark. What kind of super power is that why can't I have cool powers. I wouldn't mind having super strength.
So being a mewtant has made me a slightly smelly (or maybe that's just my cat nose but whatever), bad-graded, sleepy, athletic, glow in the dark, mutant freak. Well that's just great cartoons don't warn you that being a super hero has so many side effects. Someone get me out of this nightmare!!!!!!!

Chapter 5
We were fighting Kyrstal, Cream, and Tracy one day at first it seemed like a normal (there's that word again) fight, but it wasn't. Just as the beginning of the battle started (by beginning I mean back and forth smack talk) five mew mews suddenly popped out weapons aimed at Kyrstal, Cream, and Tracy.
"For your evil actions we will make you pay," said the pink one in the middle. Probably the leader.
You know I was just having one of those days and I just felt like saying a snappy come-back so I said "Hey, that's my line, Pinky"
She and her team instantly whirled around and I realized she looked strangely familiar then she said "who are you?"
"You seriously don't know" I was confused we had been on TV this entire week I didn't think anyone didn't know us "I'm Mew Shiny leader of Mew Mew America"
"Mew Ichigo, leader of Tokyo Mew Mew" Pinky stated
"Can't you save introductions for later I want to kill you already!?" Kyrstal yelled
Ichigo and I jumped up both our teams not far behind and quickly began to fight against the aliens. Then suddenly there was this strange noise followed by three more aliens simultaneously popping out of no where.
Cream turned to one of them that looked exactly like her but her hair was longer; she quickly brought out her icy sword that I had already learned to stay away from, paused for a moment then said "So, we meet again, Brother?"
"Tart, you're here to, now come up here and fight me like the little man that mom always thought you where," Kyrstal screeched sounding more irritated than usual (she's usually pretty irritated).
"Kish, how are you? I missed you so much! Why did you have to go? Life has been sooo boring without you! Tell me all about your trip." Tracy said at hyper-sonic speed before they started talking like long lost friends or something.
"That was awkward." I sighed. Usually you would expect that when your enemies own kind start showing up they fight as a team not amongst themselves.
"Yeah"
