I don't own TMM, hope you enjoy
"I'm tired, Nya!" a red-headed girl of 14 said as she sat down at an empty table.
An 11 year old with blonde hair collapsed onto the table too, "I'm tired too, na na da." A 14 year old girl with green hair and a couple cuts and scars on her arms joined them. A 17 year old girl with purple hair was sitting by a window looking out, lost deep in thought.
A 14 year old girl with blue hair was sipping her tea and said, "I don't know what you're complaining about."
"You wouldn't know because you never work," the red-head replied.
The blonde jumped up with new-found energy, "Look, it's snowing, na no da!" The one with green hair's head shot up, she had only seen snow once before, a large smile grew on her face as she saw the white powder floating to the ground. The red-heads scowl left her face and she started jumping up and down.
The one with purple hair told the red-head, "I hate to burst your bubble, Ichigo, but it's the first snow, the grounds not cold enough, it won't stick."
"Don't be such a downer Zakuro, it's the first snow, we're allowed to be excited." The green haired one was still looking in awe at the snow.
The blonde waved her hand in front of her and said, "Hello, Earth to Lettuce-neechan, na no da!"
"Sorry, Pudding-chan," she quickly apologized.
"We should take a vacation, all of us, together, to a place where it snows. A lot," Ichigo said.
"You know Ryou would never let you," the blue haired one said.
"Come on Mint, don't you think it would be fun," Ichigo asked.
"I didn't say it wouldn't be fun, I just said that we won't be able to."
"I'll talk to Ryou, but don't get your hopes up," Zakuro said, and got up, then walked into the kitchen.
"Well we might as well clean up, it can only improve the chances," Lettuce said. They all started to clean the café, and Lettuce went to sweep outside.
Zakuro came out within 5 minutes, and she let out a sigh, "I told you not to get your hopes up."
As soon as Lettuce finished sweeping she came inside, only to find everyone else pouting, "He said no?"
"Yes, and I'm sure he had no reason for it, Nya!"
"Have you all tried?" "
Everyone but you and Mint, and Mint doesn't think it will make a difference."
Mint got up and said, "Fine, I'll go talk to him, like it will make a difference." She went in looking pissed off, and she came out a few seconds later looking like she had just seen the ghost of Christmas' yet to come. Lettuce went into the kitchen and came out with a slight smile on her face after several minutes.
"He said yes?"
Lettuce nodded, and said, "We have today to pack, and we have to plan everything, we're leaving tomorrow."
"Let's go to Chicago, it's a city in America, it snows all the time there," Zakuro suggested.
"I was thinking New York City, it generally snows during this time of year," Mint said.
They all looked around and then Ichigo said, "Everyone write it down on their hand." Lettuce and Zakuro voted for Chicago, Ichigo, Mint, and Pudding, voted for New York City, so it won.
Zakuro went back to looking out the window, and her eyes bugged out, "Girls." The girls were all appalled and they went outside. Ichigo ran to Kisshu and she nuzzled him as if she were a cat, and he was her owner, he pet her head, enjoying his kitten. Pudding had Tart in death-lock hug in which Tart was trying to squirm away.
"What are you guys doing here," Ichigo asked excitedly.
"Just thought we'd visit, we didn't expect a welcome like this, though."
"Why not, sillies," Pudding asked, as she loosened her grip on Tart.
"Don't know, maybe because we were enemies in the past."
"That was the past, this is now, if you don't remember you were our allies the last time we saw you," Zakuro said.
"So what happened to tree-hugger," Kisshu asked.
Ichigo frowned and said, "We broke up."
"Sorry, koneko-chan."
"Thanks, but I know inside you're jumping up in down."
"Not if my koneko-chan isn't happy I'm not."
"I'm fine Kisshu, he turned out to be a bastard anyway." Kisshu stroked the back of Ichigo's head and smirked.
"So where are you guys staying," Zakuro asked.
"Umm," Kishu answered.
"Well?"
"Well Kisshu crashed the ship," Pai said with a glare at Kisshu, then continued, "We just arrived, so as of now we don't have a place."
"Zakuro-neechan could Taru-Taru, Kish-niichan, and Pai-niichan come on vacation with us?"
"Why not, it's not like the money's an issue for me," Zakuro said.
"We could ask Ryou if they could stay at the café," Mint suggested.
Ichigo laughed and said, "Ryou would never let them."
"Well they need some place to stay, anyone have any bright ideas?"
She waited for a minute, then said, "All right let's play adopt an alien, any volunteers?"
"I'll let Taru-Taru stay with me," Pudding volunteered.
"All right, anyone else," Zakuro asked. It remained silent, Zakuro sighed and said, "All right Kisshu you get to pick."
"Koneko-chan," he said. Ichigo grumbled a bit to herself and said, "All right, my parents are out of town so it should be fine."
"All right, Lettuce are parents and brother there?"
"Hai, gomen nasai Zakuro-san."
"Don't worry about it, Mint your grandmothers there isn't she?"
"Hai, I wouldn't let Pai stay at my house even if she weren't."
"Well Pai it looks like you're staying with me." Pai nodded and Zakuro said, "Well I need to get to a photo-shoot in 2 hours, but first we're stopping at the mall." Pai looked confused but then nodded again. Zakuro and Pai walked off in one direction, Ichigo and Kishu in another, Pudding and Tart in another, and Mint and Lettuce in another.
