Chapter 1: The Coyote Girl, Mew Curry!
At a bus stop in Kentucky, a teenage girl with brown hair tied in a ponytail was hugging her father. Her blue shirt and white pants stood out from her father's cowboy gear.
"Miley, I want to let you know I am proud of you. I want you to enjoy Los Angeles, and I hope your first movie is a success," her father said, smiling.
"Thanks, pa," Miley said as she boarded the bus. Before today, she was a normal girl. A cheerleader and great gal. Then, her father gave her the news: A talent scout saw her at a high school football game, and wanted to make her a movie star. Miley accepted, and her father was happy, knowing now she can live the life he never got to have. His childhood dream was to become a western star like John Wayne.
Days later, Miley arrived in Los Angeles. Known as the city of angels, she was looking around when a punk came up and took her suitcase.
"Aren't you way out of your league, valley girl," the thug said with a menacing look on his face.
"Hey, that's my suitcase!" Miley yelled.
"Not anymore. Go back to Kensucky before I have to get rough," the thug said coldly as he left.
Miley sat on a bench crying, as she got up, she saw a beam hit her, blanketing her in light. She saw a coyote walk up to her and she hugged it. It entered her body, and then, she woke up. It all seemed like a dream, but she found herself in an unfamiliar room. A male and female was looking at her.
"Looks like you're awake. I thought you were out for good," the man said.
"Yeah, you fainted in the bus stop. I hope you are okay," the female said as her purple hair flowed.
"I am. Thank you. I am Miley Brooks, I am new in L.A.," Miley said.
"Miley. What a nice name. I'm Jarred Roberts, and this is my older sister, Renee," the man said.
"Hey," Renee said.
As Miley walked out, she saw the same thug with some buddies terrorizing a shopkeeper. She wanted to interfere, but she could not. However, while she got scared, coyote ears and a tail popped out of her. She saw her reflection on the window and saw them on her.
"What just happened?" Miley said in shock as she ran into hiding. However, she heard a voice while she was still watching the thug.
"You feel like you want to help him? Now, you have the power to do so," the voice said as a boy jumped down. He had grizzle bear ears and was wearing a weird outfit.
"No way. You have grizzle bear ears as if you're one of the Tokyo Mew Mew," Miley said.
"Thanks. It surprises me you know them, since they are my friends," the boy replied.
"How can a L.A. boy know Tokyo's greatest heroines? And how come I have coyote ears and a tail? Am I one of them?" Miley asked.
"Yes. I know you are afraid, but do not worry. I, Barret Smith, a.k.a. Mew Salmon, will help you learn the ropes," the boy said as he threw a pendant to Miley.
"A transformation pendant," Miley said with a grin forming on her face.
"Now, I built this to accept whatever food you like. Think carefully, for that will be your codename as a Mew of Los Angeles," Mew Salmon said.
"I like curry. So that is what I want to be called. Mew Mew Curry Metamorphosis," Miley yelled as she began to transform. Her clothes vanished as she spun around, her hair changing from brown to red. It tied into a ponytail as a red sleeveless bodysuit appeared on her. Then red ribbons wrapped around her as red gloves, boots, and a white skirt formed on her body. Then a collar formed as she opened her eyes, changing from blue to red as she posed.
"Wow, this is incredible. I can't believe I am a Mew Mew. I even like the outfit," Mew Curry said.
"Thanks. A friend made it, so I hope you don't mind it being revealing," Mew Salmon said as the two headed onto the rooftop. When they got to an open window, they jumped down.
"Hey, it's that bear freak that's all over the news. Mew Salmon," one of the thieves said.
"Looks like my reputation as a hero is spreading," Mew Salmon said.
"And he's brought a friend. Who's the mutt," another thief said.
"My name is Mew Curry, and I am not a mutt! I am a coyote!" Mew Curry yelled.
"Still looks like a mutt to me," a third thief said. Mew Curry got mad and charged at the thief as she grabbed his arm and slammed him to the ground with a judo throw.
"You need to learn some manners," Mew Curry said.
"You, girl, just asked for a beating," the second thief said as he got his club out, only to see it fall to pieces. Mew Salmon was there with his weapons, a claw gauntlet over his hands.
"Didn't your mother tell you it's not nice to hit a lady?" Mew Salmon said as he kicked the thief in the gut, causing him to fall to his knees.
"What is this city coming to? I thought Mew Red Wolf was bad enough," the lead thief said as he turned to see Mew Kiba facing him.
"First off, the name is Mew Kiba now. Second, these two are here to keep the peace in Los Angeles in my place," Mew Kiba said as he picked the thief up.
"Mercy. Mercy. I surrender," the lead thief said uneasily.
"I won't hurt you. All I want is for you to return Miley Brooks' luggage," Mew Kiba said as he pinned the thief to a wall.
"Okay, okay. I was just having fun. Sheesh, lighten up," the lead thief said with an uneasy laugh.
"It's all fun and games until you commit a crime, and stealing the luggage of new residents is a crime," Mew Kiba said as he let go of the thief.
Later, Miley got her luggage back as Jarred got her a room to stay in.
"Thanks for the backup, Jarred," Miley said. After the thieves were locked up, Mew Salmon told Miley that Jarred was Mew Kiba.
"No problem. Always willing to help a new Mew. Anyway, have a good rest. Tomorrow, Barret and I will show you the Mew Mew Grill, where you'll work at as cover," Jarred said, smiling as he left.
"Wow, a real grill as a base of operations? Something tells me life has become a little more interesting," Miley said as she laid on her bed, smiling.
