Chapter 1 Mew Kid in Town
'Friendliness can reveal many amazing fortunes'
A girl walked through a darkened street, watching the flickering lights from the street lamps as the sky became darker and darker; it was slowly turning to night. She then came to a halt as she saw a small creature sitting in the middle of the empty road, a cat; before realising what she was doing the girl started running towards the animal and brushed her soft fingertips against its velvet fur. The small cat blinked its bright pink eyes and a light engulfed them. The two of them found that they were floating in complete nothingness, the cat leapt elegantly into the girl's outstretched arms; it then immersed itself within her, making her body glow in a brilliant pink light. The girl's body was transforming, a black cattail emerging beneath her dress and a pair of black cat ears replaced her ordinary human ones. She then found herself back on the darkened street, letting her newly found powers make her insides bubble with strength and making her stronger, faster and braver. Allowing her to leap into the air and land on the top of a lamppost nearby, several metres off the ground. Happiness overflowed inside her as she watched the oncoming sunrise.
A thirteen-year-old girl tossed and turned in her bed, her body entangled with her pale pink sheets. In her room, on her bedside table an alarm was going off. It was a lovely Friday morning in late March, the sun streamed through the windows as the girl opened the curtains. You would think she was like every other girl but you won't believe how wrong you are.
"Zoey, are you up yet? Because if you are breakfast is ready," yelled the girl's mother as she laid the breakfast table downstairs.
Zoey was a teenager who loved to sketch. She was always coordinated in whatever she did; whether it was clothing or schoolwork she was somewhat of a prodigy. Her eyes were a lovely shade of deep chocolate, her skin was a perfectly pale colour, she was tall and had a subtly thin, slowly developed body, her hair was a gorgeous mixture of brown and ruby red, which she often wore in pigtails, when it was loose it reached just to the bottom of her neck.
Zoey quickly dressed into her school uniform; a white blouse, short grey skirt, grey blazer and patent brown shoes, and brushed her hair; tying it in pigtails with red ribbons and ran out of the house with a brown leather book bag in her hand.
As Zoey ran off to school, her thoughts were filled with the peculiar dream of this cat girl she had last night. As her thoughts continued to run through her mind as fast as bullets, she bumped into someone she had never met before.
"I'm so sorry sir," said Zoey as she looked up.
There stood a tall handsome young boy; he looked about fourteen years old. He had blonde hair, pale skin and crystal blue eyes. Zoey had never seen eyes bluer than the finest blue crystals. He was one of the most beautiful people she had ever seen. When he looked up he gave her a small warm smile.
"No, it's ok," said the boy.
"I'd better go, I'm going to be late," said Zoey. As she was about to run off, he said something else.
"By the way, my name is Elliot," said Elliot.
"And my name is Zoey," said Zoey.
"Until we meet again," said Elliot.
"Bye," said Zoey.
Meanwhile at her school everyone was talking about some new guy in school. Then he appeared in Zoey's first class of the day and Zoey recognised him immediately. It was the guy she had bumped into this morning, he was wearing the boys' school uniform consisting of navy trousers, plain black shoes and a white short-sleeved shirt; his navy blazer was slung casually over his subtly muscular shoulder. There was one difference however; he had a navy band around his neck. The teacher then stood up and begun to speak.
"Class, this is Elliot Grant, he will be joining our class. Now Elliot, why don't you tell us about yourself?" said the teacher. Elliot sighed heavily and looked at the other students with his crystal blue eyes.
"As she says, I'm Elliot Grant. I think that's all you need to know about me," said Elliot expressionlessly as he received his brown leather book bag from the teacher. The female students, with the exception of Zoey, looked at him dreamily, while the males looked at him with surprise. The teacher remained ignorant of his attitude.
"Why don't you take a seat by Zoey Hanson?" said the teacher as she gestured to the empty seat beside Zoey, who sat at one of the tables closest to the window, near the back of the room. Elliot sighed as he took the empty seat beside Zoey, the two of them didn't speak to the other.
When everyone had gone she met up with him at the lockers.
"Hi! Remember me," said Zoey.
"Zoey, I didn't know you came to this school," said Elliot in an emotionless voice as they walked out of the school together.
Zoey and Elliot walked together until they got to Zoey's house, Elliot then asked her something unexpected.
"Hey, would you want to come to this café that opened across the street from the park tomorrow afternoon?" asked Elliot.
"Sure," answered Zoey.
"See you there then, and don't be late," said Elliot as he walked away.
The next day Zoey got ready for that afternoon; she wore a light pink tank top with frilly white shoulder length sleeves, a light blue skirt that gently rippled in the breeze, light pink wedge heel sandals that had ribbons to tie around her slender ankles and a little light pink bag, which held her purse, her cell phone, her sketchbook and her sketching pencils. She then quickly brushed her hair and tied it into pigtails with her favourite light pink ribbons. Then the doorbell rang and Zoey rushed downstairs so her mother and father couldn't answer it and confuse the true intention of the person she was meeting with for something else. She opened the door and saw Elliot standing on the doorstep with something behind his back.
"Zoey," said Elliot as he revealed what was behind his back. It was a beautiful pink rose, which was Zoey's favourite colour.
Elliot stood casually before her, looking very handsome in his black no sleeved leather muscle shirt, there were two black straps attached to it that were just of his subtly broad shoulders. He also wore white tailored skinny jeans, black leather slightly heeled motorcycle boots and deep red band around his neck.
"Thank you for the rose and let's go," smiled Zoey.
They walked to the park in silence and entered the café. It was a light pink building with heart shaped windows and a balcony on one of the higher floors with a large staircase curving round to the side, a small second veranda was above it that overlooking the large cherry blossom tree in the centre of the park. When they entered no one was there so they just sat at a table and waited to be served.
"What are you having Zoey?" asked Elliot.
"I'll just have a strawberry cheesecake, thank you," said Zoey.
Zoey then took out her sketchbook and continued something she had been working on since this morning: the girl with black cat ears and black cattail from her dream the other night. Then a waiter appeared and looked at Zoey.
"Sorry about the wait so I'll start working on your order right away, my name is Wesley," said the waiter as he turned to see the person standing beside her, "Hi Elliot."
Zoey then realised that Elliot must work at the café as well because of Wesley knowing who he was; but she remained silent, she didn't want to draw attention to herself. Wesley led Elliot aside and whispered into his ear, before leading him into the kitchen. Zoey heard another door open and close, then realised that they must be going down to the basement. Her eyes returned to her sketchbook.
Wesley had winter grey eyes and long dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail halfway down his back. He was in his early twenties, about twenty-four. He was the chef and manager at the café and very intelligent, as well as his full name being Wesley J Courrage III. He was also a good friend of Elliot's.
Meanwhile Elliot and Wesley went down the stairs to the basement and Wesley started typing something on one of the many computer monitors.
"Elliot, do you know that girl in the café right now? Well she is the beginning of the Mew Mew Project as the leader of the team," said Wesley.
"Really," said Elliot.
"Yeah, that girl Zoey is a Mew Mew," said Wesley.
"Which animal is she?" asked Elliot.
"The wild mountain cat," answered Wesley as he pressed a button on the keyboard.
Meanwhile upstairs, underneath Zoey's chair there was a bright flash of pink light. She couldn't help but notice it and hear the muffled words that stood out against the rest, her being a Mew Mew. She couldn't understand what had just happened. Quickly she got out of her chair and headed in the direction of the basement. When she was about to grab the door handle Zoey stopped. Did she really want to know what had just happened? Did she want to find out what it was? She knew the answers. She then twisted the handle and opened the door.
Zoey came bursting through the door with a confused look on her face.
"Sorry, but there was a flash of pink light under my seat a minute ago and what is this talk about me being a Mew Mew?" asked Zoey.
"A Mew Mew is someone who has been bonded with an endangered animal and is someone who needs to save the world and you Zoey are the leader of the team," answered Wesley.
"You're saying I'm infused with a wildcat," said Zoey. Elliot remained silent with something in his hand.
"That's right Zoey," said Wesley. "Wait! There is a predasite in the park right now so hurry!"
"Catch, Zoey! This is a power pendant, it will allow you to infuse yourself with your endangered animal," said Elliot as he threw Zoey a small gold pendant with pink swirls made to look like hearts on it. "Just say power pendant Mewamorphosis," The pendent landed in Zoey's palm, she looked at it with wonder, and she also looked at it with happiness. She had always felt different. Determined to try it out she did what she was told.
"POWER PENDANT, MEWAMORPHOSIS!" Zoey cried.
In a flash of pink light Zoey's eyes and hair turned the same shade of pink as the rose Elliot gave her, bright pink, she had black cat ears, a black cat tail that had a deep pink bow with a bell tied to the end of it, she was now wearing deep pink knee length biker boots, a strapless bright pink dress that was just above her knees that spread out once she transformed and a deep pink fur edging on the top half, two bright pink straps with deep pink fur edging just off her shoulders to show off their slenderness, a bright pink garter with deep pink fur edging around the top of her right leg, two deep pink pointy edged gloves with a small bow attached with a metal heart on her right wrist and a bright pink choker with deep pink fur edging around her neck but this time it had her power pendant attached to it.
"So now I have all the abilities of a cat," said Zoey.
"Right, now go defeat that predasite!" said Wesley.
Zoey rushed to the park and saw the predasite, which had infused itself with a rat. It looked at her with its beady yellow eyes then swung its long neck at her. Zoey jumped up and landed on a branch on a tree, she landed on her feet.
"That's it! No more playing around!" said Zoey.
Then a flash came from the bow on the end of her tail and there appeared a heart shaped bell. The bell had the same kind of heart on it as it did on her glove, there was a green crown just above the heart and the outside of the bell that made the heart was covered in a dark pink layer of fur.
"STRAWBERRY BELL, FULL POWER!" Zoey yelled.
The predasite was destroyed and Zoey changed back to normal.
"You did a very good job for your first time," said Wesley as he came strolling towards her, closely followed by Elliot.
"I just have one question Wesley, what's my next mission?" asked Zoey as she smiled. Her eyes twinkled as brightly as the stars in a midnight black sky. For the first time she saw Elliot smile, it was as though he was surprised at her eagerness to defend the planet from the evil predasites; but it was perfectly understandable for his astonishment, not many girls would happily take on the responsibility of protecting the planet from aliens. The younger male then turned away and started walking back to the cafe, but not before saying something to Zoey.
"Don't get too eager, it may cause your downfall on the battlefield," said Elliot as he slowly walked away. Wesley turned around and followed the example of his young friend, Zoey immediately started walking at a fast pace to catch up with them; the newly infused wildcat girl caught up with the two males in mere milliseconds with her new agility. She smiled to herself, an amazing adventure was unfolding in front of her and she was going to be leading the way to defending the Earth against anyone who tried to destroy her home.
The three of them returned to the cafe, Elliot stopped in front of Zoey with a serious look on his face while Wesley walked back inside; Zoey tilted her head slightly in confusion as she couldn't understand why he had that expression on his face, the words that followed came as a great surprise.
"Zoey, this mission is very dangerous and if people were to figure out what you are, then that is it. You must keep this a secret from everyone, and I mean everyone. In order to keep it secret, medical help apart from the cafe is not an option if you fall ill or get injured outside of your Mew work. Do you understand?" Elliot said in a severe tone. Zoey nodded her head solemnly.
