-The Mew Squad-
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, or anything related to it. But I DO own Veia, Rikka, Nova, Shiden, Kuro, and myself. I also own a computer and large amounts of insanity. Also, this story may contain spoilers for The Lugia Chronicles (hey, it's better than actually WRITING the series, right?), so let the reader beware.
---------------

It was an ordinary day at the Mew Squad headquarters. Metro-chan, the Squad's leader and resident Mewtwo, was up at the crack of dawn typing some kind of weird fanfic, probably about some girl named Aurora and an insane Totodile named Wani-sama. Her glasses (the frames were translucent blue) were, as usual, about to fall off. Her sanity, as usual, was long gone.

"Hrm... so... After Rory's got the blue Kingler... then what?" She was already talking to herself, and she'd only gotten up an hour ago. But then, you'd go crazy too if you had to put up with the Mew Squad.

The Squad consisted of Metro-chan (her full name was Mewtwo of Metropolis, but no one cared. She also went by the Mewtwo Queen and five million other aliases) and five hyperactive Mews: Veia, Rikka, Nova, Shiden, and Kuro. And, unfortunately for Metro-chan, they were now starting to wake up.

"Hey, M-chan, can you get off da compy? I wanna play Harvest Moon with the Super NES emulator that Shiden illegally downloaded from an insecure server that required transmitting several megabytes of personal information," said an annoyingly high, girlish voice.

Metro-chan had been sucking on the gold ring that hung from her neck on a silver chain (Kuro had recently decided to call her Frodo because of that ring), but she quickly spit it out, eyes widened. "What... did you say Shiden did?" she asked, her left eye twitching.

"Didn't you know? He downloaded a bunch of illegal stuff that could get you arrested," the Mew said impatiently. "Now let me on."

Metro-chan turned around to face the speaker. "Rikka-" she groaned. The smallish female Mew had covered her head with a sheet. She'd poked eyeholes in it, but they were in a completely wrong place. "At least that explains the bumping noise," Metro-chan muttered.

"BOO!" Rikka said, completely oblivious to the fact that any element of surprise was now lost.

"Did you just tell her about my emulators?" an enraged voice shouted from the top of the stairs. "DIE, WENCH!" an exceedingly pissed-off Shiden appeared next to Rikka and proceeded to strangle her. As Rikka fought to get him off, he held on, his purple-striped pink form blurring through the air as he dragged her around the room.

"What? Huh? Eh?" Another Mew, still tangled up in a sheet, fell down the stairs.

"Oh, Nova~! Trying to hide from your Veia, huh?" A female Mew wearing a bright red headband floated down the stairs after him. Nova, now at the bottom of the stairs, thrashed around in an attempt to disentangle himself.

So, with Shiden trying to kill Rikka, Nova tangled up in a sheet, Veia flirting with him nonetheless, and Metro-chan staring blankly at all of them, the power went out.

Shiden let go of Rikka, and she fell to the floor with an expression that said "I'm dead." Nova teleported from out of the sheets and hid behind the computer. Then something whooshed down the stairs, knocking Veia over. A pair of luminous blue eyes hung in the air in front of Metro-chan.

"Who dares disturb my slumber?" asked a dark, evil voice.

"Kuro, just cut the BS and turn the lights back on!" Metro-chan snapped.

"You always ruin everything!" the evil voice said, except it wasn't evil anymore, just whiny. "Party-pooper." A minute later the power came back, and Kuro, the black Mew, reappeared in front of Metro-chan, arms folded with a pouty expression. "Happy now?"

"Am I ever happy with you people around?" Metro-chan muttered.

"So, what's on the agenda for today, Metro?" Veia asked.

"How about... not killing each other?" Metro-chan suggested, massaging her temples.

The reply was unanimous: "BO-ring!"

"This is gonna be a LONG day..."

"What's that about a long tail?" Rikka asked groggily, coming back to her senses. Shiden grabbed her by the tail and started swinging her around.

"Enough with the Mario imitation, Shiden; Rikka doesn't look anything like Bowser!" said Nova, who was the resident video game guru. Shiden, Rikka, and Kuro stared at him blankly. "What?" Then Nova realized he'd given his hiding spot away and sweatdropped as Veia flew over to him.

"So, we're playing hide-and-seek now, is that the deal?" Veia asked, winking flirtatiously. "Okay, then it's my turn to hide!" She teleported away.

"Nova... Do us all a favor, and don't find her," Metro-chan said grimly.

"DIE!" Shiden resumed swinging Rikka around over his head.

Rikka, oblivious to the impending pain, thought this was funny. "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Shiden let go, and Rikka crashed into the wall just inches from Kuro, who face-faulted and darted away. "Heh heh heh... I see da likkle Torchics... Hi dere, li'l chickies!" Rikka said dazedly. She giggled, and promptly fainted.

"Hey, since we just 'accidentally' lost Veia and Rikka... I got an idea," Kuro said, grinning wickedly. "How about we just go about our daily business... and the last one standing wins!"

"Wins... what?" Shiden asked.

"Uhm... well... everyone else will be out cold, so the winner can do whatever they want for a couple hours," Kuro said.

"You're on," Metro-chan muttered. "My insanity tolerance has gotta be pretty high by now..."

Kuro put on his best overly dramatic sports announcer voice, and said, "So, now we have Frodo-"

"-Shut up about the freaking ring!" Metro-chan shouted.

Kuro ignored her, and continued. "-Shiden, Nova, and Kuro in a fight to the finish... Who can withstand the insanity longest? Only one will survive..." Once Kuro had finished his announcement, everything went back to normal. "Well? Aren't we gonna fight now?"

"Believe me, Kuro, we don't need to TRY to knock each other senseless," Shiden said.

And the games began.
