Hi! I updated kind of sooner than I thought I would. I guess that's a good thing though, considering how I don't like it when people don't update for a long time. From now on I'll probably update every five days or so. Like I said in my profile, I'll try to make sure I update at least once a week. Please read and review!

It was an hour after Pudding had run upstairs with her feather. The mews hadn't left yet because they were waiting for Ryou to wake up. Apparently it was going to take longer than they thought, because all their many thoughts of what they were going to do to him had run out. Yes, even Ichigo's.

Ichigo sighed in a bored manner. "I'm not going to have enough time to get ready for my date with Aoyama-kun! There's only a half-hour until I have to meet him, and he said we're going somewhere nice tonight for dinner. I even bought a nice dress with the money I have saved up from paychecks! Pudding, how long do you think this is going to take?"

Pudding blinked in a bemused manner. "He'll be awake by tomorrow! And then after that, the hypnotization will last for one day, na no da!" She smiled brightly up at Ichigo.

Ichigo groaned as Minto made an irritated noise. "Pudding-san..." started Retasu, "You said he'd be awake soon."

"Yeah!" said Ichigo dramatically. "Why didn't you tell us it would take so long? I told you, I have an important date with Aoyama-kun!"

"But...but Pudding didn't think it was that long, na no da..." Pudding trailed off sadly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Retasu knelt by Pudding worriedly. "Oh...no, Pudding-san, please don't cry, we aren't angry with you-"

"Yes I am! I'm going to be late for my date!"

Minto sighed and rolled her eyes arrogantly. "Ichigo, if you're so afraid of being late, then why are you sitting here making children cry? Shouldn't you be going?" Ichigo stopped and stared at Minto.

"Ah! Yes! I'm sorry, Pudding." Pudding stopped crying immediately and grinned happily up at Ichigo. "I'll see you all tomorrow! Bye!" Ichigo ran out, nearly hitting the door in her haste to get ready for her date.

As Ichigo's footsteps died away, Zakuro became curious about something. Normally she wouldn't be the one to be curious and ask questions or join the conversation, but she was interested.

"Pudding."she said flatly.

"Yes, Zakuro-oneesama?"

"How did you convince Shirogane-san to be a part of your expiriment?" she asked.

Pudding looked a bit confused. "Well..."


--Flashback--

Pudding walked into the kitchen dejectedly. No one wanted to help me with my feather trick, na no da..., she thought sadly. Pudding sighed. "Maybe Akasaka-oniichan will help me!" she said aloud. Pudding's upbeat smile reappeared as she pranced around walking customers and into the kitchen.

"Akasaka-oniichan, will you help me with-... Akasaka-oniichan? Are you here, na no da?" Pudding looked around.

The kitchen was empty, and the kitchen was a bit dirty, with sugar and flour dusting the counter and two eggs laying in the middle of the stove. Rags were laying out and dirty dishes lay in the sink. That's strange, na no da... Akasaka-oniichan usually cleans up as he goes... he must've gotten distracted by something, I guess..., she thought confusedly. "But who else can I ask for help... Oh! I haven't asked Shirogane-oniichan yet! I'll go do that now, na no da!" she said happily.

Pudding raced downstairs to the basement eagerly, squinting a bit in the darkness. She heard some voices up ahead.

"No...no! Don't do that! That's dangerous!" the voice cried desperately.

That's Akasaka-oniichan...!, Pudding thought, It sounds like he's in trouble! Pudding will help him with her feather-on-a-string, na no da!

Pudding crept closer quietly so as not to alert whoever it was that was trying to hurt Keiichirou wouldn't hear her. She wondered where Ryou was; maybe he could help if it was too much for her to handle. Pudding shook her head to herself; it was no time for thoughts like that, for she had somebody to save!

"Stop right there! Mew Mew Pudding, metamorpho-sis!" she shouted as she transformed into her Mew Mew form.

Pudding didn't even bother to look in front of herself to see what was going on. In fact, she had her eyes shut. She probably shouldn't have transformed considering it was pointless, but anyway. Pudding help up her magical feather-on-a-string and started mumbling nonsense words into the air. It seemed to work, surprisingly enough, and the feather went poof!

"Ha! Pudding has defeated you! Now let Akasaka-oniichan go, na..no...da..." Pudding looked at the scene before her, surprised.

Keiichirou was standing in front of some large ray machine with a screwdriver in his hands. He was staring at Pudding. Pudding stared back. "Akasaka-oniichan, na no da? Are you..." Then she looked down on the ground. Ryou was laying there, unconscious. He appeared to be holding some kind of laser.

Pudding was confused beyond belief. Pudding thought that Akasaka-oniichan was being threatened by something, but he looks perfectly fine! And Shirogane-oniichan is laying on the ground... why is he sleeping? Oh! This must mean that Pudding's Fong family secret hypnotizing feather trick worked, na no da! But still, what was making Akasaka-oniichan..." Pudding decided to just ask instead of confusing herself even more.

"Akasaka-oniichan, what's going on? Pudding thought you were in trouble, na no da!" Pudding exclaimed.

"Pudding..." he replied slowly, "We were working on an expiriment to make new Mew Mew weapons. Ryou was pointing that laser, but he wasn't pointing it right and it could have made it catch on fire. But... Pudding, what did you do to him?" He looked down at Ryou's unconscious form.

Pudding looked down as well, before smiling back up at Keiichirou. "Pudding used her magical feather on Shirogane-oniichan! Don't worry, Akasaka-oniichan, he's not hurt, na no da! He's just hypnotized, which means that Pudding's Fong family trick works! Yay, na no da! Pudding will go and tell everybody else!" And she ran back up the stairs.

--End Flashback--


"...and that's how it happened, na no da!"

"Ah...okay then, Pudding-san. But what will we do if he's really hypnotized?" asked Retasu.

Minto smiled evilly. "We'll have some fun with it, that's what we'll do. I've already got some ideas. I need revenge on him anyway, yesterday he accused me of not doing my share of work! The nerve of him!" she cried rather loudly. The rest of the mews were looking at her strangely. Minto cleared her throat. "Ahem...anyway, Pudding, how long will your feather trick last?"

"Well, na no da, Shirogane-oniichan will wake up at the time he normally does, and then it will last for exactly twenty-four hours, na no da!" she grinned. "Ichigo-oneechan will like this a lot, won't she? I bet that she already has a ton of ideas of what she wants to do to him!"

Zakuro smiled a bit and nodded, while Retasu looked worried and Minto snickered.

"Well, then. Let's go home for now. Goodness, we've been here for a long time. But wait, before we go- Pudding, where's Akasaka-san?" asked Minto.

"Oh, he's in the basement trying to fix Shirogane-oniichan. Pudding will explain it to him tomorrow, na no da." she replied cheerily.

So they left with their heads filled with thoughts of what they could do to Ryou in twenty-four hours. This would be fun, especially for Ichigo.


That chapter was longer than the first one...that's good... I was worried that it would be too short. Does anyone know how many pages an average chapter is...? I'm new here so I have an idea, but I don't really know. Can you tell me in your reviews? I'll aim for that number next chapter.

I have some ideas for what the mews are going to do to Ryou, but if you have some, then please put them in with your reviews, and I'll add it into the story. I already have some of the next chapter prewritten, so I'll have that up soon. Once again, please read and review!

PS- Thanks to Granite Aizawa for pointing out how I forgot the 'na no da's' in the last chapter. I think I fixed it... it's easy to forget after the first few times...
