Chapter 1 : Excuse me, I'm a what!?
*Bethany's P.O.V*
" I'll see you whenever I can! You better come visit!" I tell my best friend Chloe before I left the school for the summer. She's going to a completely different school next year, and I'm gonna miss her. "Don't worry. I'll try my best!" I talked with everyone until I had to exit the building to go home " We'll see you!" All my friends shouted to me as I left until the doors closed and I couldn't hear their voices. I love them all so much... I wish Chloe and Karson didn't have to go.
My friend MaryJane who I call M.J runs outside and hugs me so tight I can hardly breath. "A-AUGH! I can't breath! Y-You're choking me!" She lets go and laughs. "Sorry." I give her a confused look. " Why hug me so tight anyway? I'm going to your house!" I had to go to her house that afternoon. My dad had to go or a meeting."Oh...about that. We kinda...sorta...have to walk...to my house." I just look at her for a moment. "You're kidding me right? It's like 85 degrees out here!' I really don't like the heat. But, I don't like the cold, either.
We finally started walking when clouds began to roll over the sky. "...Really? Why!? Is this karma of some sort?" I said, scowling and shaking my fist at the dark clouds that blotted out the sun. "Come on, we can run the rest of the way, I guess" Mj said with a shrug. "I'd rather walk in the rain." I say. She shrugs again. "Suit yourself." Thunder begins to sound across the city.
We've only walked for 2 more minutes when we're already soaked in rain water. It was pouring down quickly, and we had to get out. School uniforms aren't exactly comfortable, especially not when wet. My legs are sore...I need to work out. When we turn around the corner, we spot a large pink cafe. MJ pauses for a moment. "...Since when did that get there?" I ask. "Who knows?"
We finally made some distance, but the thunder has grown decide to go in and as we grow closer we see it's a cafe. Before I open the door Maryjane looks at me big eyed. 'Do you have any money?" I check my pockets. "Only 10 dollars." Her eyes light up. "Can we get something?" I sigh reluctantly, "Yeah I guess so."
I open the doors to the cafe and we're greeted by a cheerful girl with red hair."Welcome to Cafe Mew Mew! I'll take you to your seats. When we're
seated, I see a blonde haired boy grab the red haired girls arm and whisper something. That's a little...odd. I hope he's not mad at her. She seems nice. I watch for moment, when he looks straight at me.
I try not think much of it. But I still feel a bit perplexed.
Me and Maryjane eat the cake and exit the cafe. The thunder has calmed and rain has turned to a drizzle. 'That was good! We should-" Before I can finish my sentence, I black out.
*Maryjane's P.O.V*
"Beth? Beth!" I try shaking her but she doesn't respond. When I stand to go get some help from somebody in the cafe, but black evades my vision, and I'm out too. When I open my eyes I'm in a totally different place. It's like I'm stuck floating in a blue...orb. Ok, what did they put in my cake? I look around when a bright light hurts my eyes. The light dies and in front of me is a squirrel. It comes running towards me and instead of hitting me, it passes through my body like thin air.
"That was...weird. Oh well. It's just a dream anyway" I jolt awake to find a blonde haired boy staring me in the face. Bethany wakes up groggily. "Ugh..M.J...I gotta tell you about this weird dream I had about a-" She pauses a moment. "Who are you?" The blonde boy stands up straight. "That's not important. All you need to know is that I'm the owner of this cafe." He replies. "Did you put something in my cake?" I ask. "No..." Bethany is obviously irritated. "Then how do you explain both of us passed out,hm?" He pauses a moment. "Well-" The red haired girl opens the door with the other waitresses with her.
"Ryou! What are you doing!? We kinda need you in there!" she says. "Yeah. And who are these girls?" A blue haired girl says. We stand up and dust ourselves off then her eyes widen. "Ryou, can we speak with you inside?" He sighs. "Meet me in the basement. You two stay here."
*Bethany's P.O.V*
Now I'm mad. What does that jerk want? Suddenly the ground shakes beneath my feet. Strange...that doesn't usually happen here. I hear shrieks down the street. I look around but I see nothing. "Beth! Look! Maryjane grabs my shoulder and turns me around. Suddenly all I can look at is the giant monster that stands right in front of me.
