I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew. The names used are the English dub names for I confuse my self with the Japanese names.

Author's note: Zoë and Bridget are in the same high school.

Chapter one.

The café was as busy as always. The girls were rushed off of they're feet. With work as well as the rise of a new enemy. This was the last thing they needed. The door opened yet again welcoming the next customer.

"Welcome to café mew mew. Just a table for one?" Kiki greeted.

"Uh… yes." the girl smiled

"Fellow me." Kiki bounced.

She guided the girl over to a free table. In the corner of the café which was diagonal from the kitchen area. Just the spot where they could keep an eye on her. The girl sat down then Kiki sprinted off to the kitchen, to Zoë.

"Zoë more orders for you to take." Kiki smiled

Zoë let out a sigh. She had only recently started high school and already things were getting difficult for her to stay on top.

"There's a girl from your school." Kiki smiled.

She then galloped to the main entrance area. Zoë had a sneak look to see who Kiki was on about to find who she was on about. The girl was a few years older than her and Zoë had seen her around the school. She had long black ringlets with red tips. With grey eyes and always wearing black eyeliner. She was wearing her school blazer, tie, shirt and mini skirt in the school colours which is red and black. Zoë picked up her order notepad. Then turned around to see the girl working on something and to her left Elliot watching her.

Zoë just shrugged her shoulders then went to her table.

"Welcome to café mew mew can I take your order please?" Zoë spoke.

"Can I have a glass of coke and a slice of your sticky toffee cake." she spoke

"Coming right up." Zoë smiled

Then made her way back to the kitchen. Elliot then passed her and went straight to the table that she is sat at. Zoë turned around. All of the Mews took sudden interest. Elliot stood the opposite side of her table while she just glared up into his eyes.

"Yes Elliot." she smiled.

"So how long have you been in Japan?" Elliot asked trying to keep patient.

Whestly then took interest.

"A few years." she smiled.

"Oh…"

"Is there anything else you want to know now Elliot?"

Elliot pulled up a chair and sat down.

"I take that as a yes." she smirked

"You still have your bad attitude I see." Elliot whispered under his breath.

"And what a manly café you have."

"Yes Samantha you haven't changed."

"The name is Sam. Elliot Ryou….."

"If you carry on I may have to ask you to leave."

"Like you would do that Ellie."

"Ellie how original Sam."

She just smirked evilly. This was so typical of her.

"After you've paid I demand you leave." He spoke harshly.

"Why Ellie? Is it because you can't bare to have one of your old crushes here in the same building with you." She smiled.

In frustration he threw the table at the wall.

"Leave and never come back." he spoke.

She picked up her stuff then went to leave.

"Oh and Ellie…"

"OUT!"

"Nice to see you again."

She then left. Elliot stormed up to his bedroom.

The rest of the day none of them talked to each other about personally stuff. Elliot wasn't seen either.

They had all gathered in the kitchen before starting to clean up.

"What an event full day." Kikki smiled.

"I know and I wonder what she had said to wind up Eliot." Zoë spoke

"Eliot has known her a very long time and there was always tension between them." Wesley spoke

"How long?" Kikki asked

"Since he started school so about three or five." he replied

"So why did he act like that towards her then?" Zoë asked

"Well they were the best of friends even after his parents' death. But then he grew feelings for her and well she wasn't interested in stuff like that at the time he told her. I think she was scared to lose they're friendship… well anyway they stayed away from each other for a long time. Then they were given a project to do together and that is when they had this major fight over something which only those two know about…."

"So let me guess this is whole rivalry is all because of they're feelings towards each other." Zoë ranted

While Bridget and Kikki were trying to get her to stop speaking by using hand jesters.

"He's behind me isn't he?" Zoë asked

The girls nodded. While Corina and Renee giggled.

"Hey Ellie." Zoë smiled

He ignored her and walked over to where the glasses were stored. He got one out and filled it with ice cold water.

"You can continue." he spoke harshly.

"Why was you so mean to that girl?" Zoë spoke

"That girl in none of your business." Elliot replied

"She is she is in my school."

"She has a name." Wesley spoke

"Which is?" Kikki asked

"Samantha Wilson." Wesley spoke

"Do you lot have to talk about her." Elliot spoke

"You still have a crush on her don't you?" Zoë pressed

"No." Elliot spoke

With a light tinge of red appearing on his checks.

"Oh my gosh your so crushing on her." Kikki blurted out.

The glass cup smashed into a million pieces all over the floor.

"Elliot calm down. She's just a girl." Wesley spoke.

Meanwhile

"Sam is that you?" A woman called.

"Yes mam." she replied

"Are you hungry?"

"Nah I've eaten already."

She then ran up the stairs to her bedroom where she was safe to let lose her true emotions.

She put her school bag down then slipped out of her clothes and went straight into her en suite shower. It felt heavenly to feel the boiling hot beads hit her skin. It was better than feeling the pain she did for winding up Elliot. A sigh left her lips. Why did things have too fallen apart between them?

"Ahh!" she screamed as the water suddenly went freezing

Her mother had obviously done it on purpose. So she got out and wrapped her towel around her then walked into back into her bedroom. She picked up her pyjamas from the floor then slipped into them.

Put her TV and DVD player on then laid down on her bed to watch it. When she noticed something new in her room a grey cat. She tilted her head to one side in confusion.

"I thought I told mam I didn't want any more cuddly toys." she whispered to her self

She'd got a minute or two into the film when she fell asleep. There was a flash of light then the grey cat transformed from a cat into a human form. He sat down on her desk chair watching her for a while when…

"Elliot…..Elliot stop being stupid." she whispered

He turned to face her to make sure that she was defiantly asleep. Which she was. A sigh left his lips. He then transformed and left.
