So, where was I...Oh, right, the start of a brand new story Author's Note...so how should I start...

"Ahhhh Oh, finally I'm here!" Ummm, what are you doing here Ichigo?

"Lettuce told me I should come help with the Author's note, since yours is always so boring." But I like it that way!

"Well, it's getting a little old. Time to change it up a bit." Ichigo, I never asked for your help! I don't really want it!"

"Talk to Lettuce about that, not me!" She didn't tell you to just barge in though, did she?

"No...but that's not important right now!" *sigh* Alright, since you're here anyways, you may as well do it.

"Yay! Alright, so how should I say this... Oh! I know! Master Dragonfire doesn't own TMM at all :( Not even the OCs are his. Also, for those of you who are wondering why he's suddenly writing a story about Mew Mews, and stuff, it's not his fault. He made a stupid bet, and now he's got to write a full story for the anime of the winner's choice...and that just so happened to be us!"

|Episode 1|

And Then There Were Six

*Sigh* "Do I have to tell you the whole story? It's a very long one, and the information you need isn't until the end. No? You want to know how this happened to me, don't you… oh well, I tried."

My name is Terran. I'm a Mew Mew, my DNA matching with the Golden Owl. What are Mew Mews? We're kinda hard to explain...basically, Mew Mews are people who have a special extra bit of genetic code, that allows our human genes to be fused with those of Red Data Animals, that are near extinction. As Mew Mews, we gain some...unique traits, but the other things we get are well worth the price. So, where does our story begin… I'd say Tokyo, near Mountain Valley High School. It was an ordinary day, until…

"Ah! Late late late! I'll never make it!" I jumped out of the way as a girl with red-brown hair ran by. When she got to the gate of the school, it was locked. There was a note on the gate, reading…

School closed due to insect infestation.

Classes resume in two weeks.

The girl seemed relieved, and then collapsed, panting. I walked over, and was about to ask her if she wanted a ride anywhere, when a pair of cat ears appeared on her head. Needless to say, I was shocked. She looked up, and when she saw my shocked face, she groaned. "Go ahead, call me what you want." She told me. I was even more surprised at that. What did she think I was going to call her?

"You're so awesome! Before, I was going to ask if you wanted a ride home, or to the mall, or something, since you pushed yourself so hard to get here, but now I have to ask if you would honor me to ask."

"Wait… you don't think I'm a freak?"

"No way! Being half cat is so cool! Say, do you know where I can get myself a pair of cat ears? Oh, and a matching tail, too!"

"No, I don't. Although I would love a ride, if you can spare me the time."

"Alright, give me a sec." I ran down the street, grabbed my bike, and pedaled over. "Hop on."

"On where?"

I laughed. "The bars on the back are for standing on. I'm sure you can keep your balance fine, so all you have to do is stand on the bars, and hold on tight."

"Alright." She hopped on the bars, and I surprisingly barely noticed. Most people would have been slightly off balance, but her balance was spot on. Maybe she was more cat than she seemed.

"Where to...uhh, say, I still don't know your name."

"I'm Ichigo."

"The name's Terrandith, but you can call me Terran. So, where to Ichigo?"

"Cafe Mew Mew, if that's alright with you."

"Alright!" And we were off.

Little did I know, this little bike ride was going to change my life forever. How could I know I would be one of the few people who had DNA that allowed me to become a Mew Mew? I hadn't even heard of them at the time! This was the moment that changed my life forever, the last waking day that I would be normal, human, and still completely sane.

"Well, here we are, Cafe Mew Mew." I said, panting from the crazy hill we had just climbed. "I don't suppose a thirsty bike rider could get a drink here, could he?"

"I don't see why not. Just, don't order anything too pricey." Ichigo and I walked into the cafe, and almost immediately she was tackled by a young girl with a monkey tail.

"What's Ichigo doing here? Who's this?"

"Pudding! Your tail! What are you doing?!"

"Pudding is entertaining the customers with her amazing juggling act!" Ichigo facepalmed.

"Will you seat this customer while I go get ready to start working?"

"Ok! Follow Pudding!" I didn't seem to have any other options, so I followed her to a small table near the back of the cafe. She pulled a menu out of a hat, and ran off to help another customer. There was a large selection of things to get, and after a few minutes, Ichigo walked up to my table, and sat down with me.

"So, have you decided what you want?"

"I think I'll have a smoothie, if that's alright with you."

"Sure, if it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't be here right now. I'd be back at home, having a nap."

"Well, smoothie it is."

"Alright." Ichigo disappeared into the kitchen, and came back out a few minutes later. "The owner of the cafe would like to speak with you. Come with me please."

The next few minutes are still a little fuzzy in my memory, but we went downstairs, I spoke with the owner for a few minutes about Ichigo, and then, as I was leaving, I saw a bright light, and passed out. When I woke up, I was in some weird dimension, with seemingly no physical substance, except for me, and the owl that was perched on nothing before me. It looked up at me, and I stared back. This is when it gets weird. It took flight, and flew right into me! I woke up again, this time lying on a bed in the cafe's basement, and looked around.

Ichigo and Pudding were there, as well as the owner, and four other people I didn't recognize. Something inside me felt different, but I couldn't really put my finger on it…

"Finally, you're awake."

"Don't be like that Elliot!" Ichigo snapped, "You just changed his life, geez, have a little dignity." Ichigo turned back to me, and smiled. "Are you feeling okay, Terran?"

"I'm alright, although something feels a bit, off. You know?"

"It's your genes. They're still fusing with those of the Golden Owl." Elliot said, rather indifferently. "You're the slowest yet. I wonder if we'll even be able to achieve Mutamorphosis with you progressing so slowly."

"Elliot! Don't be like that, it's not like he can control the rate that his genes fuse."

"What do you mean, my genes...fuse? What's going on here?" This whole idea was strange, and the fact that there were four complete strangers in the room made the whole situation worse."

"You're a Mew Mew." One of the strangers told me.

"What's a Mew Mew?"

"We're people who have special codes in our genes that allows our DNA to be fused with that of Red Data Animals, it's really quite amazing."

"Wait, so I'm a mutant?"

"Kind of, but way cooler. For example, check this out." Ichigo turned and looked at one of the strangers, who nodded. "Power Pendant! Mutamorphosis!" There was a bright light, and a few seconds later, Ichigo wasn't plain old Ichigo anymore. She was in a frilly pink dress, had cat ears, AND a tail, her hair had turned pink to match her dress, and she had red gloves and boots, and a red bow with a bell attached, on her tail. "See? I'm a Mew Mew too!"

One of the strangers stepped forward. They're all Mew Mews, and so are you now. As a Mew Mew, it's your duty to protect the Earth from evil, and when you're not busy doing that...you can work as a waiter here, at Cafe Mew Mew." I was still a little shocked, so I just sat there, frozen, listening to everything that was told to me. "Oh, you haven't formally met the others, have you? Allow me to introduce...Mew Lettuce, Mew Pudding, Mew Mint, Mew Zakuro, and you've already met Mew Ichigo. Might I be so bold as to ask your name?" That was a question I could answer.

"I am Terrandith, son of Terrandar, son of Terrandor, founder of Andor, the greatest mercenary business in the country. Why do you ask?"

"Well, since we'll be seeing each other a lot more now, with your being a Mew Mew and all, I figured it would be nice to know your name, rather than calling you 'That Guy' or 'Hey you with the face'."

"Well in that case, you may call me Terran. And what should I call you?"

"My name is Wesley."

Ah, Wesley, that name would become a word of great joy and happiness in my future, but I'm sure that's not really that important at the moment, is it. Anyways, where was I...

I sighed. "So, I'm really stuck being a Mew Mew now? There's no way back is there?"

"I'm afraid not."

"You know, you could have asked me if I wanted to be a Mew Mew."

"If we did, would you have said yes?"

"Yes, but that's besides the point!"

Elliot and I wound up getting into a big fight about getting permission to do things that will save the world, and stuff, and in the end, right when I was about to win the argument, he told me that he didn't want to see or hear me anymore, and when I asked him if that meant I didn't have to work, he told me that I would still work, he would just avoid me. Although it wasn't the best way to start off, we started to forgive each other, and eventually we became good friends, but that's not important now. What's important now, is that I've got pizza in the oven, and if I don't go check it, It's probably going to burn. So, until next time! Nyaa!
