*I do not own the original characters of Tokyo Mew Mew*
Pie cursed, his hands clutching his head. It was useless. There was no way to save their planet. Their race. They had tried everything. Nothing worked. There's no hope. He slammed his fist against the wall, shoulders shaking as he cried helplessly. He laughed deliriously. Was there ever any hope since the sun for this solar system had exploded? More people were dying each day than those who were being born, and food was scarce. He stumbled toward the library, as he realized maybe he had better announce to the teachers, learners and scribes that their civilization was going to die, so they could have other civilizations discover about their race.
He stumbled and fell, his vision going black as the lack of food and drink from the past weeks of working 24/7 and researching their last hope to save their civilization got to him, as ice blue circles surrounded by blazing fire entered his vision.
Pie groaned, slowly opening his eyes and sitting up. He rubbed his eyes, gazing at the simple room of a learner, ignoring the fact that it was more bare than a learners room.
"You're awake." He heard a soft, gentle voice say as a female learner about the same age as him but significantly smaller because of his abnormally tall height. She had fire-like hair, pale skin and ice blue eyes that held a mischievous smile in them just as her mouth did. She wore the traditional pale blue of the learners. She grinned. Handing him a bowl of water. "You has me worried, just passing out in front of the library as I was leaving for my ceremony."
His eyes widened as the dots connected, dropping the now empty bowl he had greedily drank from as he moved to stand up, wincing before she frowned and pushed him back down on the cot. "Miss Rosemary! Forgive me I didn't know it was you!" He said, staring in awe at the youngest learner to become a teacher soon.
She rolled her eyes. "Please don't call me Rosemary. You're Pie, right? The one they just made a scientist? The youngest scientist at only age 18?" He nodded meekly. She smiled. "Then we're one and the same. Call me Rose, it's so much easier than Rosemary." She glanced at the clock and grinned. "Pie, would you like to be my escort during the ceremony?"
"Yes... Rose."
TIME SKIP
"Pie!" Rosemary called out as she ran down the hallway, wearing a teachers white clothes, a smile on her face. Pie grinned before turning around to face her. It had been a year since their first meeting, and the had remained good friends since then.
Pie watched her run towards him, her cheeks flushed and a wide smile on her face. He felt his heart constrict. Over the past year, his feelings had gone from those of a friend to those of love and seeing her like that made his heart flutter.
She reached him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I found it!"
He spun her around. "Found what?"
"A way to save the planet!"
"... What?"
"The ancients spoke of it. It's called Mew Aqua. It has not form, except an appearance of blinding light. They say it can save or destroy an entire planet." Her eyes were lit up. "Pie, this means that we don't need a messiah! We can save ourselves!"
He grinned slowly, holding her hands. "That's great! You know what would make this day even better?"
"What?"
"If you agree to marry me."
Rosemary stared at him blankly, before grinning widely and nodding.
"You look great man." Kish said, grinning at his best friend.
Pie glared at his prince. "Don't do anything to mess this up."
Kish held up his hands in surrender, smirking as his sister Kashi, Rosemary's maid of honor, entered. "Time to go dim-wits."
Pie felt his stomach flutter as he stood at the alter, waiting for his future wife to appear. He turned as the rustle of everyone standing echoed through the room, his breath catching in his throat.
Rosemary wore a long white dress that showed her shoulders, gold embroidered ancient runes and designs flowing all over her dress.
He grinned as their eyes met, happiness filling him. This was it.
Pie grinned as Rosemary finished her vows, leaning forward slightly to kiss her.
He froze as her face contorted into pain, looking fearfully down to the red blossoming from the metal tip protruding from her stomach.
Rosemary gasped, looking at him confused as she started falling. He caught her, tears streaming down his face as he told her it was going to be okay, that she was going to be alright, as she slipped away from him, taking everything he could feel with her to the land of the dead.
Pie took the sample as the fighting ensued behind him emotionless. He turned, moving back to the Kish and the others to inform them that they were done here.
"Oh. My. Gosh Kashi! Just shut up! And Momo, actually fight! Kenji, we're not actually trying to kill them! Sage! Take this seriously please! Zakura stop flirting with the enemy!"
He stopped as the familiar voice brought back his emotions. He peered around the tree, freezing as ice blue eyes placed in fair skin and surrounded by fire-like hair glared as she fended off Kish's attacks and flirting. His feelings were back from the dead, but they weren't the only thing that was back from the dead.
"Rosemary."
