Mitsuki: Hello beautiful readers, I would just like to thank you for taking a chance on my story. Now, without further ado, I present to you... A World Where We Can Be.
Chapter 1: Profound Passion
"What do you mean we should quit being mew mews?!" Ishigo responded, surprised at the idea Lettuce proposed to Ichigo and Pudding. Lettuce believed that they should stop fighting the ones they 'loved' before someone got hurt, emotionally or physically. Considering she wouldn't have just blurted that she really liked Pai, she must have thought along the lines of Kisshu and Ishigo living happily ever after and maybe Pudding being with Taruto, growing up together and letting their friendship spark into something beautiful that is known to humans as none other, than love.
Although whenever it came up in conversation, Ishigo always denied having any feelings for the perverted, green-haired alien they call Kisshu. However she always knew that somewhere hidden deep down inside of her were feelings she wished she could replace, the ache and longing of her heart... to be with him.
Pudding also knew. But each girl with different beloved aliens showed their love for them in completely different ways. Lettuce, too shy to say anything, simply writes poems and letters and collects them in a little box so that hopefully one day she will have the courage to give it to Pai. Pudding just acts herself around 'Taru-Taru' and shows she cares by giving him gestures of kindness like hugs or small thing that mean a lot like that. But, unfortunately, there is always that one who is too afraid or proud to admit the feelings they have towards another, especially an alien. Truth be told that person is Ishigo, Many times she has scolded, hurt, burnt and pushed away Kisshu but, he always comes back and never gives up on his precious Koneko-Chan, for that she is eternally grateful to him and forever will love him with all her heart and one day she promises herself that she will say those three words she has so much trouble telling to him.
"It's not a good idea though, we can't just stop I mean look how far we've grown, look how far we've comes since we became Mew Mews. We are way too far down this path that we have chosen together to turn back now. It's your decision and I will respect your choice but I refuse to fight against you, if you leave then that doesn't mean that we can't be friends, just... whatever you do, don't forget us... and don't leave us behind either... please" Ichigo said slowly getting quieter with each word as she was fighting against the tears that had gathered in her eyes. As Ichigo hid her face, Lettuce and Pudding both gave her a hug. "Never would I ever even think of forgetting you guys, you mean way to much to me to just let go and leave in the past." Lettuce whispered as she and Pudding held onto Ichigo like if they let go they would die.
"Pudding think everything will be okay, don't worry onee-chan" Pudding was trying her hardest to stop Ichigo from crying more than she already had.
"How do you know?" Ichigo raised her head to look at her friends
"We just do because no matter what we'll stick together and make it out alright" Lettuce piped in with a cheerful and confident voice.
"Then I trust you" Ichigo rested her head on Lettuces shoulder and fell asleep.
With Pudding and Lettuce:
"One-chan must have been having a scary nightmare" Pudding smiled as she saw her friends tears dry and her beautiful smile return to her face once again. Sitting down next to the bed the other two quietly had a chat while they waited for Ichigo to awaken.
"I just had a brilliant idea about how to..." Lettuce whispered her plan to Pudding and she nodded in agreement.
*You'll learn the idea in a later chapter
"Yeah and we could.." Pudding started but then Ichigo started to wake up.
They fell dead silent as they watched Ichigo awaken from her slumber. Ichigo opened her eyes to see her friends watching her. "What happened?" Ichigo seemed to be fighting against her tears.
"Well your mum let us in while you were having a little nap," Lettuce started "You seemed to be having a nightmare or something and you were crying but then you smiled. And now you have awoken."
"Oh, it was only a dream" Ichigo mumbled under her breath so the others didn't hear.
Puddings voice filled the room when she asked "Are you going to be okay, Onee-Chan?"
"I'll be fine," Ichigo tried her hardest to smile but still it was weak "I promise
"Maybe you should get a bit more rest," Lettuce got up "we can come back tomorrow"
"Bye Ichigo" The other two mews said caringly as they left.
Still with Pudding and Lettuce:
"Do you think she remembers that coversation all those years ago?" Lettuce looked down at Pudding as she stoped to think about it.
"Pudding doesn't know. Onee-chan, what do you think?" Pudding looked into Lettuces tearing up eyes.
"I think she does but," Lettuce looked up into the sky, she couldn't stop the tears from falling anymore "why now of all times?"
End Chapter One
