I do not own anything of Tokyo Mew Mew


Normal POV

Zoey woke up the next morning feeling well rested and was glad she didn't have work for a change. She needed to catch up on some homework anyway. She washed up and got dressed in sweats and a t-shirt. She sat her kitchen table and flipped through the pages of her books. "Ughh too much homework." She said out loud. The sound of her phone ringing made her super happy especially the name that popped up. "Mark" She picked up her phone happily.

"Hey Zoe. How are you?" Mark started the conversation

"Tired and doing stupid homework. I have a lot to make up." She tapped her pencil along her math book as she stared at the time.

"That sounds rough. How was work yesterday?" He questioned

"It was too much, and I had to go in early since I came in late the day before. Also, I punched one of my co-workers face because she kept smart talking me" She snickered to herself remembering how she punched Corina's face.

"Ouch, is she going to be okay?" He sounded concerned. It was him just like to be worried about others safety.

"Yea. I didn't break anything, hopefully." She said as she shrugged to herself "Anyway, what's up?

"Oh yea. I wanted to ask if you are you free today."

"After what happened I finally have the day off, but I'm stuck doing homework" She replied. "OMG IS MARK ASKING ME OUT AGAIN? She yelled to herself.

"Well, would you like to take walk through the park with me this afternoon? If you do I can help you with your homework." He suggested

She let out a cheerful sound "Yes. I would love to go"

"I'll be over soon to pick you up." He hung up the phone causing her spin in her chair with joy. She rushed upstairs, changed and came back down. Soon enough her doorbell rang, and she opened the door. "Hello" Mark said with a smile.

"Hi..." She replied as if she was shy.

"Let's take that walk." Mark held out his hand and she held out hers. They connected fingers and she locked her front door. They went on their little "date" along the park. They walked by the ponds and he bought her strawberry ice cream. She loved every moment of this. He took her to this nearby café for lunch. He eventually helped her with her homework.

"Oh, Mark today was wonderful" She sighed with happiness. Zoey enjoyed her Sunday date with her knight and shinning armor.

"Zoey, will you be my girlfriend?" Mark asked which caused Zoey to almost faint. She has been waiting for this moment her whole life and now her dreams where coming true.

"YES" She blurted out causing him to chuckle as the happy kitten. He took her hand she blushed. He placed the money on the table and they had walked out the café in hand. He walked her home and they talked about how they enjoyed their week.

"Oh Mark. Today was wonderful!" Zoey was super happy as the corner of her block. "Well, you will have to leave me here. Pretty sure my dad will be home, and you know how he is with me and boys" She chuckled. He gave her a warm smile which melted her heart.

"I understand Zoe. I'll see you tomorrow at school then?" He questioned.

"Yes, I will see you at school." She blushed as she could not believe her dream was coming true. Mark leaned in and pressed his lips along her. It was soft and a nice touch. He then turned and walked away. She watched him go before heading into her house. "Mom, dad, I am home" She said as she closed the door and took off her shoes and placed her bag down.

"Welcome home hun" Her mother said from the living room.

"Why are you just now getting in?" Her father ask as she walked into the living room.

"I was studying with friends" She lied

"I see" He glanced over at her.

"So, I'm going to my room and sleep since I have school in the morning" Zoey looked at her parents.

"Zoey, is everything okay? You hardly eat anymore" Her mom's voice grew with concerned

"Mom, I ate before I came here. No need to worry." She smiled and walked up to her room then locked it. She pulled out her phone and dialed Mimi's number and then Megan's number. She told them about how Mark finally asked her out and that she was very happy.

"What about work?" Mimi asked

"What do you mean?" Zoey asked as she was on her bed half naked.

"Don't you stay at work because of your dumb boss" Megan questioned

"Oh shoot, I forgot. Elliot is a real jerk. Doubt he'll care if I have a date and if I do he'll just make me come two hours early like yesterday." She rolled her eyes at the thought of him.

"Yea but you are so lucky to work with the hottest guy in the world" Mimi added

"For real. If he was to ever kiss me I think I would die" Megan squealed. That's when it hit Zoey. She had completely forgotten about the kiss her and Elliot. Not just once but twice. He mind began to race and she decided it was best to avoid it all together. No one needed to know that she kissed her boss. She said her goodbyes to her best friends and went to sleep. The past few weeks went fine. The whole found out that Zoey and Mark was a thing. When she works at the café she tries to avoids Elliot at all cost (Doesn't work mostly) even though he still makes her stay late at times. Life has been going well for her so far.


Zoey's POV

"Ughh" I put up the rest of the chairs. "All done. Elliot better be happy that I stayed" I said out loud to myself.

"And if I'm not?" I heard him say causing me to jump. I held my chest as I quickly turned around to see him. "So easily scared" He smirked as he crossed his arms.

"Shut up. Anyway, I am done. May I leave now? I do have a date to get to" I rolled my eyes

"I guess" He answered

"Yayyy" I pulled out my phone and dialed Mark's number. He picked up on the first ring. "Hey Mark. I'm finished with work" My cat ears popped out, but I didn't care because I was happy.

"Hey Zoe, can we reschedule. Something came up" He said which made me frown. I felt my cat ears go away.

"Yea, sure." I said sadly. "I'll talk to you later. Okay bye" I hung up and sighed.

"He bailed on you" Elliot said as he was still standing there.

"He had something important to do." I replied. "I'll just go home"

"I'm about to cook do you want to stay for dinner?" He asked. I was shocked that he even asked. Lately Elliot has been extra nice to me. It was weird, but I haven't thought nothing of it. I should accept his offer since my mother wasn't going to expect me home anytime soon.

"Sure" I shrugged. He nodded, and I followed him to the kitchen. He already seems to have some of the stuff he needed for his "cooking". I sat at the leaned against the counter as I watched him cook. He wasn't half bad. Better than what I could do. I took a few glances at him as he cooked. Elliot was so cute, his royal blue eyes and perfect skin. We had come to terms that the kiss meant nothing, and we became closer to one another since I was mostly working late while Mark was "too" busy for me lately.

"Zoey?" He said, and I snapped out of it.

"Huh yea?" I questioned

"Are you okay?"

"Yea"

"Want a taste?" He put a spoon filled with food on it towards my mouth. I giggled as I opened my mouth and tasted his food. My eyes opened wide on how the taste danced on my tongue.

"Wow, this is really good Elliot" I smiled

"Thank you" He smirked as he finished up what he was doing. He put some of the food on a plate and handed it to me. I was shock that he even cooked for me. We ate in silence and that's when Wesley walked in. "Hello, I see dinner was made and I didn't get an invite?" He joked.

"Heh, I didn't forget you" Elliot chuckled. I just watched as the guys talked among themselves as I was finishing my plate. Wesley joined us the table. I felt weird being alone with two guys who where a year older than me. I went to stand up but then it happened

"ZOEY! Mini Mew said as he popped out of nowhere as I went stand up causing me to get scared and fall on my butt.

"Ouch…" I said as I helped myself up.

"Zoey?" Wesley looked my way. I saw that they both was staring at me which caused me to blush.

"I- I'm okay" I scratched my head. "I- I'm going to go home"

"ZOEY. MINI MEW MISS ZOEY" Mini Mew said cheerfully. I forgot I told Elliot to fix him. I carried Mini mew in my arms. "Thank you for fixing him and thank you for the dinner" I said before I grabbed my bag and leaving. I walked home as I sighed.

"Zoey what's wrong?" Mini Mew asked.

"Nothing really. Just feeling a little down." I replied

"Mini Mew make ZOEY happy since I back"

"Heh thank you little one" I smiled a little as I finally reached home. "I'm home!" I yelled as I opened the front door then closed it. I took off my shoes and went to the kitchen to see my mom and dad eating dinner.

"Zoey, hi baby" My mother smiled

"Hi mom" I replied.

"Are you hungry?" Dad asked me

"No. I ate before I got here. I'm going upstairs and going to do some homework" I replied. I excused myself and went to my room. I placed my bag on my bedroom floor and closed my room door. I then lay on my bed while Mini Mew floated in the air.

"Zoey tired?" He asked

"Yea, it's been a long week. I just want to sleep" I yawned. Soon enough I found myself falling asleep. A few hours go by I felt my phone buzzing. "Hm…?" I questioned as I opened my eyes and yawning. I saw that I was in my PJ's. Mom must have put this on me when I fell asleep. I looked at the caller ID to see it was Mark of all people. "H- Hello?" I said in a sleep voice.

"S- sorry to wake you up. I was wondering if it would be okay if I walked you to school later today" He asked which made my heart sing.

"Sure! I would love to" I happily.

"That's my girl!" He replied. "Now get some rest I'll be there early in the morning"

"Okay. I love you Mark" I blushed saying that.

"I love you too Zoey" He said. We hung up the phone and I cheerfully let out a small screech. I put my phone down and I went back to sleep.


I woke up to the sounds of the birds chirping and it was a nice bright day. I got up, took a shower then brushed my teeth. I put my hair into its normal pigtails. I then put on my school uniform. I made sure I looked great. I then went downstairs humming. "Morning parents" I grabbed a piece of toast and ate it as my parents were looking at how happy I was.

"Zoey, you're bright and early" Mother said

"Hm… Oh yea. My friend is coming to pick me up" I had to lie since dad is still doesn't know that Mark and I are dating. "Well, I better get going before I be late for school." I grabbed my bag and ran out the house before more questions where throw around. I met up with Mark a block away from my house. He was looking handsome. "Ohayo Gozaimasu" I yelled out to Mark as I ran to stand next to him. "Ohayo Zoey" He smiled as he kissed my forehead.

"S- Shall we walk to school?" I asked, and he nodded. We held hands as we walked down the street. I felt on top of the world.

"How are your studies doing?" He asked as we walked

"It's doing okay. I could do better. You think you can help me study?" I asked

"Sure. I wouldn't mind. Say isn't that your boss over there" He pointed as he saw Elliot walking with Wesley. I looked over that way and I was shocked to even seem them out this early.

"Good morning" Wesley said as he bowed

"Ohayo" Mark said as he bowed

"Sup" Elliot saying as I knew he didn't care.

"H- Hi" I mumbled as they ruined a perfect morning by running into us like this.

"Heading to school I see" Wesley smiled

"Yes. It's a perfect day to learn" Mark replied happily

"Heh" Elliot snickered, and I shot him a glare. "Anyway, since we happened to run into you guys. Zoey can I talk to you really quick" Elliot motioned me to follow him a few feet away from the other guys. I followed what him and I pouted.

"What is it?" I asked annoyed.

"Don't forget you have work today and that you have to stay extra for reasons" He looked at me and I sighed

"But I have a date tonight" I lied

"Do you really?" His eyebrow roses

"Well not really but if he asks I have to say yes. I am his girlfriend" I crossed my arms.

"We will see what happens later." He walked by me and I turned around to see him and Wesley walking away. I walked next to Mark. Causing us to walk the opposite way from to school. "Oh Zoey." Elliot said from far I turned around to see him point at his wrist. "Try not to be late" He smirked and was finally gone. "Ughh. He makes me so angry. I bet yesterday was just his way of being a two-face jerk" I thought to myself not noticing Mark calling out my name. "Huh… Oh sorry" I said

"What did he want?" He asked as he was a bit curious

"Elliot? Nothing really just work related." I lied but not fully.

"Are you sure?" He questioned.

"Don't worry about Elliot. He's just a jerk who loves being a jerk to me" I chuckled

"Okay. Anyway, we're here" He pointed at the school building in front of us. I smiled but I can feel something was off from him. "I'll see you at gym or lunch" He said as he kissed my cheek. He walked into the building and I walked in after him. I walked to my locker to see Megan and Mimi standing there.

"So how was your date" Megan asked

"What date?" I asked as I threw my bag in my locker

"Whoa what happened?" Mimi asked

"Mark had something important thing to do so he cancelled last minute and to make it up to me he walked me to school. It was going great until we ran into my bosses Elliot and Wesley. Elliot pulled me aside to talk with me about work. After that it was just blah from there" I leaned my head against the lockers.

"Oh, that must suck." Megan said

"It will get better." Mimi replied

"I hope. Anyway, I'm heading to class." I grabbed my book and walked in the hallway while my friends followed behind me. I bumped into one of the Becky's in the hallway and it just went south from there.

"Ugh. Watch where you are going Hanson." Becky said as she dusted herself off.

"Sorry" I didn't want to argue but it was clear to me she did.

"No sorry. You owe me new shoes. My daddy bought this for me and it cost about 32,079.00 Yen ($300.00 US money)" Her stuck up as crossed her arms.

"I don't have that much to begin with" I rolled my eyes.

"Take your spoiled ass somewhere else" Megan stood up for me

"Ugh. I swear I hate people like you girls. Hmph" She turned away and walked the other way. I sighed knowing this wasn't my day at all. We walked into the classroom and I sat at my desk. School began a few minutes later and I wasn't paying much attention. Study hall came around, but I deiced to just do some make up homework. Lunch rolled around, and I didn't want to be bothered and I went to the roof.

"Hey Zoey" I heard Mark say

"H- Hi" I said

"I was looking for you during gym." He sat next to me

"S- Sorry I was busy doing homework" I played with my food

"So, I was thinking we should take a break" He said out of the blue

"Huh?" I asked looking shocked "But we just made 6 months. Are you seriously breaking up with me?"

"No. I mean a break as in go out tomorrow to the petting zoo and relax since it is Saturday. You seemed stress lately" He smiled. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I thought he was breaking up with me. "Oh okay. Well, I'll see if that can work tomorrow." I smiled.

"Good." He started to eat his lunch. We ate lunch together and relaxed on the roof top. Once we were done he walked me back to class. I was once again happy. The rest of the day I was very happy to pay mind to my classes. The day was over with and I rushed to my locker, got my things and was about to rush out the door and meet up with Mark until my teacher stops me in the hallway.

"Zoey" Ms. Brown says.

"Uh, hi" I said looking at the time of the clock above her.

"Where do you think you're going in a rush?" She asked

"I have to get to work! I can't be late"

"Well it seems like today is your unlucky day. You must stay until I say you can leave since you were too out of it in my class" She crossed her arms.

"But, I can't stay I have to get going." I pleaded but she stood her ground and I had to go back in the classroom and wait till she told me I can go. I sighed as I watch the time tick on the clock. Time cannot go any slower. I pulled out my math book and sighed. An hour later I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I waited till she wasn't looking to see it was Mark who texted me.

"Did you leave school?"

"No. Ms. Brown is making me stay until she says it's okay for me to go" I texted back.

"Oh bummer. Well I guess I'll see you later then"

"Yea…" I was just about to put my phone away until it buzzed again, and I saw an incoming call from Elliot. I knew I was in for it since I was now an hour late for work. I didn't answer and put it away. I was close to falling asleep, but she tapped on my desk and I sighed. Another hour passed, and I felt my phone go off yet again. I tried to answer it this time, but she took my phone this time.

"Wait, it's important!" I cried out as I looked at her.

"No phones" She said as she put it on top of her desk. I put my head on the desk. Another hour went by and I finally finished my "school work". The sky was already close to dark once I looked at the window.

"I am done. Can I go now?" I asked as I felt pain in my legs as I stood up from sitting down too long. She got up and looked over my work.

"Good work. I hope this will teach you to pay attention in my class next time." She handed me my phone. I bowed to her out of respect and rushed out the door once she gave my phone. I was finally free, but I knew it was too late to work. I sighed as I looked at my phone to see 5 missed calls from Elliot and two missed calls from Mark. I also had a text from my mom who was asking me what I wanted to eat for diner. I was hungry, but it was best if I go deal with whatever punishment Elliot was planning since I missed work.

The street lights came on as I walked to the café. It was a long walk, but I still managed. "Hey, you with the pink bag" A guy said as I was walking. Ignored him but he didn't want to give up and I tried to attack me. Good thing my sense is good at detecting when I'm about to be attacked. I jumped out of the way and ran for it. He ran after me and I jumped over him and kicked him in his back causing him to fall to the ground face first. That was the perfect chance for me to run as fast as I could to the café. I finally arrived but I bumped into him. The great Elliot Grant who was looking pretty pissed off. I had fallen on the ground and he helped me up. I dusted myself off.

"Than…" I got cut off when I saw him tapping his foot.

"Where the hell where you?! If you had a fucking date you could have told me!" He yelled, and I was scared

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT" I yelled back

"That's what you always say" He rolled his eyes.

"It wasn't…" I mumbled

"We really needed you today and you let us down…" He brushed his hand through his perfect hair.

"I'm sorry. I was stuck at school since I wasn't paying attention. I tried to answer your call, but the teacher took my phone and wouldn't give it back." I told the truth this time.

"I see…" He replied. I heard him sigh hard. "Come tomorrow two hours before your shift."

"Alri- wait why?!" I blurted out.

"Because you never showed up today and have to make up the work." He crossed his arms

"That's not fair! I already explained that it wasn't my fault! Plus, I do most of the hard work since Corina is always sitting down on her ass, Bridget is mostly breaking stuff along with Kikki. I should get a raise at least. Also, I can't I have a date tomorrow" I pouted.

He raised his eyebrow. "Hm… So, your date is more important than your job? Even more important than being a Mew Mew?" He asked

"Really Elliot? I didn't ask to be a dam Mew Mew in the first place. Be happy that I am even doing this for you." I protested. "Plus, I almost got kidnapped coming to even explain why I came late. If you so call care, you would understand what I had to go through" I cried out. I can hear him breathing with annoyance

"Sorry… For not understanding." He admitted which caught me off guard. "I'll drive you home. It's the least I can do." He pulled out his car keys and had me follow him to his car. I sat in the passenger said as he sat in the driver side. He started up the car and drove to my house. As he drove me I saw a text from Mark. I decided that it was best if I just called him.

"Hello?" I said as I kept my eyes on the road.

"Zoey, you're free." Mark said

"Yea. I got stuck at school."

"Are you okay you sound drained."

"I guess. Once I left I walked to work to explain to my boss what happened" I took a glance at Elliot who kept his eyes on the road.

"How did he take it?"

"Eh." I said honestly

"Oh. Are we still on tomorrow?"

"C- Can't. I have to work early"

"Wait that's not fair. Plus, there should be a law against you working before your hours." He protested

"I thought so too."

"Anyway, did you go home after speaking with him?"

"Well… I'm in his car as he's driving me home now."

"R- Really?"

"Yea. I must go. I'm about to reach my house now. I love you"

"Same… Bye" He hung up and I pressed the lock button on my phone. I sighed as I put my hands on my face.

"We're here" Elliot said as he pulled up to my front door. I see my dad at the door. He doesn't look too pleased.

"Get out the car and introduce yourself before we're both dead" I whispered to Elliot and gave me a look. "Just do it please. Follow my league" I begged, and he sighed. He took out the keys to the engine and got out the car at the same time as me. We walked to the door and I put on the fakes smile.

"DADDY!" I smiled and gave him a hug. He hugged me back and stared down Elliot.

"And who's this young man?" He asked

"T- This is my boss Elliot Grant. He's super nice and caring" I wanted to choke on those words. "Elliot this is my father Jim" I looked at Elliot and gave him a smile. Elliot rolled his eyes and gave my dad a handshake.

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Hanson." Elliot said with a firm tone.

"I see. Well thank you for escorting my daughter home." My dad said, and they let go of each other's hands. "Zoey your mom ordered pizza. So, eat before you go to sleep. It was nice meeting you. And Zoey hurry in before your mother complains" My father said as he walked inside closing the door. I finally dropped the fake smile and rubbed my cheeks. "Finally. I thought he'll kill me" I joked, and Elliot didn't laugh. "I guess I can at least say thank you for driving me home. So, thank you." I said

He put up three fingers in the air. I looked confused as to what he meant by that. "Come in three hours early before your shift tomorrow" He demanded

"WA- wait why?!" But I dropped it. There was no point in even asking no more. I stuck at my tongue and went inside the house and watch him drive off from my front yard in his car.

"So, is that your boyfriend" My mom asked as soon as I reached the kitchen and I groaned as I rushed upstairs and threw myself on my bed. Something is up with Mark since he's been acting weird and Elliot has been different ever since we kissed on accident, but he is making me come in 3 hours early before my shift. I sighed as I already knew I was going to hate tomorrow.
