"So most humans have a tradition and it's to look at Christmas lights?" Tart asked Pudding, the lion monkey Mew nodding before smiling.

"Hai! And I was wondering if Taru-Taru would like to come see it with Pudding NaNoDa." the blonde girl replied.

The alien sweat dropped, unsure of what to say. Any other time he would tell her to stop calling him that nickname but seeing her so happily made him rethink of his actions. He had to think of a answer and fast, normally he'd ask his brothers but Pai went to meet Lettce somewhere and Kisshu went...somewhere to get a surprise for Ringo.

"Sure, I'd love to see the Christmas lights." Tart replied quickly then mentally face palmed, well looks like he'd have to go through with her.

Pudding smiled widely "Yay! Pudding will meet Taru-Taru at her house when it gets dark NaNoDa!" she said before running off to her house.

Tart sighed "What have I gotten myself into?" he thought.

Perhaps it'd be fun?

Perhaps though, he won't know until he sees the lights when Pudding possibkly literaly takes him everywhere in Tokyo.

He teleported to the Tokyo Tower and looked at the city from it's high point. He has to admit, this year has been an eventful one or him. Not only did him and his brothers formed an alliance with the Tokyo Mew Mew but also protect the city that they had attacked many times. Though he has to admit these new enemies were annoying, what made them more annoying is that they work in separate groups so it's three attacks everyday. Which annoyed him further. Not to mention their ego was too much for his taste, even him and his brothers didn't have THAT much ego.

But above all if he had to choose the most annoying group of enemies, it'd be the three witches. What was they called? Twix? Twist? Whatver they are called. The three witches were the most annoying, not only did they attack Pudding but also mock him and his brothers. And lets not get started on how they thought that he, Kisshu and Pai was weaklngs compared to him.

Tart smiled slightly as a memory came to him. The trio, coven, whatever a witch group is called, soon realized he and his brothers weren't weak but in fact stronger than them. Oh, how he loved the shock on their faces, espeically the blue one when her two sisters nearly got killed by them. It'd not only shut her big mouth but made him proud of that fight because of one thing...

They never harmed Pudding anymore, what they had was a tad of luck but next time they laid their hands on Pudding there wouldn't be any mercy. Espeically after what he heard what they did to her on Halloween and in battles.

He looked at the sky as a idea came to him "I can give Pudding a gift, but I don't know what she'll like. Maybe she'll like some candy?" he thought before teleporting away.

Later...


Pudding smiled as she stared at the box of hot chocolate "This'll be perfect for Taru-Taru NaNoDa!" she thought happily.

She was so excited, her first year with Taru-Taru as friends and not enemies. It had made her happy, all the fun times they had together. Fighting in battles together. The list continued on and it made her so thankful for the year she had.

She looked at the window "Pudding should get the hot chocolate ready for Tar-Taru NaNoDa." she thought, she went into the kitchen, got out the proper things needed then started making the hot chocolate.

Ding dong!

Heicha went over and opened the door, she stared at the alien boy in front of her for awhile before asking "Are you Pudding onee-san's boyfriend NaNoDa?" while tliting her head to the side.

Tart blushed then shook his head "Le! Le! We're just good friends." he replied as he held his hands up.

Heicha stared at him, unconvinced before shrugging and letting him in "Onee-chan! Taru-Taru is here!" she called out.

"Coming!" Pudding's voice sounded.

Tart shutted the door then waited for Pudding, he blinked at her in confusion when she came out with two cups of a brown steaming liquid "What's that?" he asked.

"Hot chocolate NaNoDa." the lion monkey Mew replied and gave Tart a cup "Sensei will be watching you, Hanacha, Chinca, Lucha and Honcha NaNoDa." she yold Heicha who nodded in reply.

"Okay onee-san NaNoDa!" Heicha said then watched Pudding and Tart leave "I hope you two have fun, onee-chan." she thought.


"These are pretty amazing." Tart commented as he looked at the Christmas lights, his eyes sparkling at the colorful rainbow like ones.

Pudding smiled "Have you tried your hot chocolate yet Taru-Taru?" she said.

The alien looked at the cup of steaming liquid before he took a sip of it.

Then two more.

"This is good, did you make this yourself?" the brown haired alien asked as he looked at the yellow Mew.

"Hai, it's something my mom use to make when she was still alive." the blonde replied before her eyes had a far away look in them "We use to always look at the Christmas decorations and drink hot chocolate but after she died Pudding barely has time to look at the lights..." she said.

Tart frowned and bit his lip "Hey uhh, I got you something." he said then got out two chocolate bars from his pocket "Their not the best gifts but you like candy so I got you some." he said.

"Tar-Taru..." Pudding began, making the alien boy gulp nervously "It's perfect NaNoDa." she said and smiled happily.

"It...it is?" Tart asked, bewildered.

Pudding nodded "It'll go great with the chocolate NaNoDa!" she said in her usual cheerful tone.

Tart sighed in relief "Well here you go." he said and went to give the chocolate bars to Pudding but she only took one.

"You can have that one Taru-Taru." Pudding said and smiled.

Tart smiled in return "This candy isn't gonna eat itself then." he said.

Pudding nodded and started eating the chocolate bar while looking at the lights with Tart.

"Merry Christmas Pudding." Tart said as he looked at her.

"Merry Christmas Taru-Taru." Pudding said as she looked at Tart.

Up until nine o'clock they had looked at the lights. And for both kids, it was the most fun they've ever had and the most laughs they've ever had.

This was the best Christmas Pudding has had in a long time, and for Tart. The best first Christmas he've had.

And hopefully the next Christmas will be just as great.
