An idea that has been plaguing me for a while now, I hope you like it. It is set approximately fifty years after the series end, may be some spoilers but not detrimental. Also I have no understanding of Japanese names so forgive me if I'm wrong. And any translations are done by Google translate so may not be accurate.

I drew the cover so I hope it is ok, I will computerise it properly but my graphics tablet pen is out of battery so it may be a while, the picture is of Puri in her Mew form.

If I owned Tokyo Mew Mew then it would not stop, it would go on for ever and ever and ever. Unfortunately I don't, I only own Puri and her parents and friends.

So far this is just a one shot about Puri's existence, but if I have more ideas I may make it a chapter fic. Enjoy.

Appuru Momomiya opened her brown eyes and looked up at her bedroom ceiling. She yawned and sat up stretching, she brushed her dark pink hair which she inherited from her Grandma out of her face and stared blankly at her room. It was mostly pink and white with a large mural of an apple tree with both blossom and fruit at the same time on one wall. Everyone was always saying how much she was like her Grandma, and not just in her appearance, her Grandma's friends, or her sort of Great Aunts, sometimes even called her Mini Ichigo. She guessed being named after fruit was a tradition in her family, her father's name was Pīchi.

Appuru, or Puri as her friends called her, was thirteen years old next month and quite short for her age. She yawned again and cast a glance at her bedside table, on which sat her alarm clock. She gawked at the blue glowing numbers. 8.15! It couldn't be 8.15, what happened to her alarm? Now she only had fifteen minutes to get to school before the bell rang! What was she going to do? Oh why had she begged her parents to let her stay up just that little bit longer?

She shouted frantically out loud as she rushed around pulling on her clothes and tripping over them. She dragged herself over to her mirror where she bundled her almost shoulder length hair into two bunches, the way she'd done it since she was five and saw a picture of her Grandma when she was the same age as her. Puri had fallen in love with the hairstyle and had begged her to teach her.

She quickly checked to see that her clothes were all done properly then dashed out the door with a last glance at her unmade bed. She hared down stairs two steps at a time and burst through the door into the Kitchen, grabbing the Sandwich box and toast that her Mother held out to her and stuffing the former in her school bag which she had snatched off the side upon entering.

"Puri! Don't forget you're visiting your Grandma Ichigo after school today!" The despairing woman shouted after her as she slammed the front door while taking a bite out of her toast and pulling her skirt down as it blew in the backdraught of the door's sudden shutting. She nodded through the window to acknowledge her Mother's plea and then turned and took off down the street.

Thankfully she had been able to get ready fast enough and her school wasn't far so she was able to arrive at school five minutes early. Luckily missing the rush to see the end of Kendo practice, a tradition among the girls of her school that dated back to her Grandma's time. That was one difference between Puri and her Grandmother; Puri had very little interest in boys, whereas Ichigo had, one in particular. Great-Aunt Mint was always saying that when Grandma was her age she was always like 'Aoyama-Kun' this and 'Aoyama-Kun' that.

Puri had once asked of this 'Aoyama-kun' was her Grandfather, but everyone in her family froze up at that comment, even her Mother who had known her father since school admitted that she had never met a father. Great-Aunt Pudding had once told her a rather crazy story about her Grandfather being an alien from another planet who came to invade, before being interrupted and stopped by her other Great-Aunt's and a tearful look from her Grandma. Of course she didn't believe that, that would make her like a quarter alien which was just plain stupid. Though her skin was unnaturally pale.

"Puri-san!"

Her train of thought was interrupted by the squeals of her best friend and sort of Cousin twice removed, Sarada, her Great-Aunt Lettuce's Granddaughter. The two friends greeted each other before linking arms and making their way to class.


Classes went relatively normal for Puri, she only fell asleep once in maths and there was tuna fish in her sandwiches for lunch so altogether it was a good day. She smiled as she waved goodbye to Sarada and turned down the lane to her Grandma's house. As she walked up the front path she noticed the house looked strangely empty. She knocked loudly on the door.

"Grandma? Grandma Ichigo?" She called.

Receiving no reply she tested the door and found it unlocked.

"That is strange" she commented aloud, "There is no-one here, why is no-one here?"

She explored the deserted house, why was Grandma not here? Had she not known that Puri was coming today? Puri wondered as she searched each room for her Grandmother. The last room she looked in was her Grandma's bedroom, she had never really been inside but to her surprise it was not much different from her own, being pink and white in theme only one wall was covered in strawberries. The first thing she noticed though was that in the corner there was a ladder that led up to a hole in the ceiling that must go to the attic. Not really knowing what possessed her; Puri crossed the room and climbed up the ladder.

When at the top her head popped into a small white-washed room with a sloping roof, it was dusty as if it hadn't been used for many years and there were boxes scattered around. She scrambled so she was fully in the room and went over to the nearest box, opening in to see what was inside. What she found was a pink and white frilly dress with a matching hair band laid on top the folded garment. She took out the gown and held it against herself; it seemed to be just the right size!

"Cute!" She exclaimed while untying the ribbons that held her bunches and putting on the frilled head band instead. She remembers seeing the dress before, a photo of her Grandma and Great Aunts all wearing similar dresses, they were… Waitresses, Puri remembered being told. Then all of a sudden her attention was drawn towards a small box that sat on a pink coloured cushion in the centre of an old dressing table. She approaches the table with sudden caution, almost reverence. She gingerly picked up the small jewellery box and carefully prised the lid open. Inside is a small gold charm, like a necklace pendant, with strange pink markings, symbols that look like they mean something. Her hand reaches out to take the beautiful jewel from its resting place.

The second her fingers brush the smooth shiny surface of the pendant something strange happened her entire body seems to tingle and she seems to be transported to a place of strange red and green lights, she heard her own voice shout though she didn't tell it to.

"Mew Appuru! Metamorphosis!" She felt light wrap around her, melting away her clothes and somehow replacing them. Was this a dream? The light faded and changed back to the small attic room, but it wasn't the same as before, or was it her that wasn't the same? She still felt strange, like energy running through her veins. She caught sight of the reflection in the cracked mirror of the dressing table.

"Wow! I look cute!" She squealed, at least she assumed the reflection in the mirror was her; it didn't look anything like how she had only seconds before. Her hair and eyes were now bright red and she wore a strange puffy dress. The skirt of the dress was puffed and round and red like an apple, but there were apple green leaf like things that sat on the top like an extra layer which was joined to a green beaded, corset-like bodice, which was strapless. On her arms she wore long green gloves that stopped just before her shoulder, revealing a small pink mark in the shape of an apple inside a heart that was now on her skin and definitely hadn't been before. Round her neck was tied a green ribbon that tied in a bow just below her hair at the back of her neck from which was suspended the pendant, her hair itself was now lose and somewhat wavy and she had ruby coloured slippers on her feet.

But none of this was the strangest thing, for nestled in her now bright red hair were a pair of black cat's ears, and a long black tail stuck out a hole in her dress at the back which had a red bow and a green bell tied to it. She reached up her hand and brushed one of the ears down with her glove-covered wrist, much like a cat would when grooming itself, the ear felt warm and furry even through the fabric.

"She really is a mini Ichigo –nanoda" a voice piped up. Puri whipped round to see the still youthful looking though slightly wrinkled features of her Great Aunt Pudding.

"Welcome to Project Mew" a slightly greying blond man who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed said huffily. There was a whole group of people there, how they got in Puri had no idea, all her Great Aunts were there along with two men, the blond who had spoken and another with a long silver-streaked black ponytail, he held what looked like a large cake tin.

Puri stared wide eyed at the 'intruders', though actually she felt like more of an intruder, what had they said? What did it mean? What had happened to her?

"Why are you here? How did you get here? What happened to me? I demand you tell me what happened!" She spouted at the group, "Why is my hair red? Why am I wearing this funny dress? And WHY AM I A CAT?!"

"I am right -nanoda?" Great Aunt Pudding turned to her companions.

"Let us explain, the Special Lady must be confused" the second man stepped forwards.

"Special Lady?" Puri inquired, looking even more baffled.

"Of course, here is for all the Special Ladies" the man assured her, the older women all smiled at her while the man in the corner still scowled but stepped forward and tapped a certain place on the wall which caused it to open up revealing a massive screen.

"Fifty years ago the world was under threat, but it was not undefended, as a last defence five girls were born with the DNA of certain species of animal, known as red data animals, written into their genetic code, we were able to find and bring together these girls , and they fought as a team under the name of 'Tokyo Mew Mew' and defeated the treat, but finding themselves not needed they returned to their normal lives, only now it seems there is a new generation of mews" the man explained in conjunction with pictures on the screen of the five 'red data animals' and their respective mews.

"B-but the Mews weren't real!" Puri protested, "They're just an Urban myth!"

"I think you'll find there's more to it than that" Great Aunt Zakaro replied. Puri looked back and forth between her relatives and the legendary Mews she had heard stories about as a child, she couldn't deny there was a resemblance, and all their names were the same only with Mew at the front. But they couldn't be!

"But what about me? Why am I…?" She asked gesturing at her new appearance.

"You are more like your Grandma than you think" Great-Aunt Lettuce smiled.

"I am a Mew too? How does that work? Are you telling me the aliens are real too?" Puri questioned.

"Shirogarne and Akasaka have been monitoring the genetics of our descendants, trying to determine the effect of the Red Data Animal DNA in subsequent generations, so far there was nothing, until you" Great Aunt Zakaro explained.

"You are the first in a new generation of Mews, though we have yet to determine the threat that may have caused this, we can only expect that it will be revealed along with your teammates" Great Aunt Mint continued.

"Mew Appuru! You look so cute!" her Grandma exclaimed, hugging her.

"Mew… Appuru…" Puri tested the sound of the name, it was strange but it almost felt normal.

"We must know what her weapon is –nanoda!" Great-Aunt Pudding exclaimed clapping her hands.

"Weapon?" Puri questioned.

"You must look inside yourself and shout what comes to mind" Grandma Ichigo explained, so Puri tried, she concentrated on herself, feeling rather awkward at the expectance of the people in the room. Then all of a sudden she felt the red and green lights from before and knew what to say.

"Poison Apple!" She shouted, a green heart shaped thing materialised in her hand with a red ribbon tied at the top, it didn't look much like a weapon, it was just a heart shaped loop, she frowned at the object. She loosened her grip on it only to find that it faded into the red-green light and disappeared.

"Perhaps I could interest the Special Lady with a slice of cake?" the man with the cake tin suggested as he opened his tin to reveal the most delicious looking apple cake Puri had ever seen, it was decorated with apple slices all over and had a blob of cream in the centre. Puri nodded eagerly, her eyes alight as she was handed a slice on a plate with a fork on. She tasted a forkful of cake; it tasted as good as it looked! She smiled as she continued to eat the delicious cake; she was going to like being a Mew she decided.


Translations-

Appuru- Apple

Pīchi- Peach

Sarada- Salad


Hope you enjoyed it; please tell me what you think! By the way the Grandfather is Kissu, in case anyone didn't guess! So yeah, Puri is part alien, I'm not sure if she will get any extra powers because of it though. In my imagination, Kissu came back after they saved their planet and therefore was able to conceive Puri's father, but then had to return for some reason. I have not done specific pairings for the others though, I'm just sort of assuming they met other people, I hope that is ok.

If I do continue this into a series Sarada with be one of the Mews as well, but I will need three more, preferably relations of the originals so any ideas would be helpful.
