A/N: Hey! It's me, Ribbon-Mint-Echo, here with my first ever fan fiction! I can't wait,
I'm so excited! It's Tokyo Mew Mew, which is probably what most of my stories will be
about. Anyways, let me move on to the story description, which will be at the beginning
of every story.
Story description: There is a local ballet competition coming up, and Mint has registered
for it. Kish, everyone's favorite green-haired alien, has been there to see all of her
performances, which is not really what she wanted. What she desperately wants is for her
older brother, (Onii-sama,) to see her compete. He seems to be too busy…every single
time. He then blows a fuse at Mint for bugging him about it too much, which makes her
extremely depressed. So depressed that she can barely even focus when she dances. An
accident occurs at one of her performances, and she takes it out on herself. Will anybody
be there to cheer her up?
BTW, the pairing will be MintxKish. Have a problem with it? Instead of flaming, be
smart and don't read it. Thank you. Now, let's start!
DANCING FOR LOVE
Chapter 1: Gotta Dance!
It was just another ordinary day at Café Mew Mew. As usual, Ichigo was being over
powered by the customers, Lettuce was sweeping up pieces of broken plates, Pudding
was throwing a mini circus, Zakuro was being cold and anti-social to the customers, and
Mint was sitting at her "tea-drinking table," sipping on a cup of tea. The café was more
crowded than usual.
"Sigh…for some reason it seems to be really crowded today…oh, well duh! It's a holiday today! And naturally everybody's off except for us…but is it really necessary that they all decide to come here?" Ichigo complained.
"Even I would have to agree with you on that one," Mint said from her table.
"But Mint Onee-chan, everyday is like a day off for you, na no da!" Pudding shouted standing atop her circus ball while balancing some plates.
"She's right, you know," Lettuce cut in. I'm not trying to sound rude in anyway, but all you do everyday is sit in that exact spot and drink tea."
"For your information, I'm certainly not just sitting here drinking tea. I already told you, when it comes to taste testing, I'm superior! Plus, that's my way of helping out around here. I don't mean to get technical, but it's a form of working!" Mint debated as she finished off her tea.
"Girls!" Ryou shouted as he came out of the kitchen with a paper in his hand. "Mint, stay where you are-
"Like she's going anywhere?!" a steamed Ichigo interrupted.
"Not now, Ichigo. The rest of you except for Mint, get back to work." He commanded.
"Hmph!" Ichigo stormed off. The others released a sigh and got back to work. Ryou took a seat next to Mint.
Normally, Mint thought, he would never want to just sit down and talk to me. Something must be up... "So…what's wrong?" she asked suspiciously.
"Nothing's wrong," he responded. He placed the paper he was holding on the table. "You enjoy doing ballet, right?" he asked.
"Yes, infact it is the only other thing that keeps me entertained besides tea," she responded in a snobby tone.
"Oh, well…good," he said. "Then why don't you take a look at the article I found in today's newspaper," he explained. Mint looked at the newspaper. In huge letters at the top, it said: TOKYO BALLET COMPETITION! This captured her attention. It read:
Do you enjoy ballet? Are you a Pointe dancer? Do you someday wish to be called a "Prima Ballerina?" Then this is the contest for you! It starts out local, and the winners will progress to the nationals. The winner will get to be the star of the next upcoming Broadway show, "Bluebird," which will be held in New York City! If you want to give it a shot, come try out at the Tokyo Academy of Ballet. We are located on North Shizuka Avenue, and our number is 492-593-2481. Come try out; you could be the next Prima Ballerina!
By the time Mint had finished reading the article, she had stars in her eyes. Me? A Prima Ballerina? No way! It could never happen…could it? Ah! Should I try out, or shouldn't I? Uh…I think I might need a little boost from Onee-sama and the others for this!
A/N: So? How did I do for my first time? Reviews and constructive criticism will be greatly excepted! But please, no flames, and no MintxKish bashing. I will mostly update on US weekends. Thank you for reading!
