Okay, second chapter, this is fun!!! Thanks for the review Kris-I AM a banana but now to the point...Wheeee
Note: This takes place three years after the final battle and the aliens never left.
DISCLAIMER: Oh, right disclaiming away...i do not own Tokyo Mew Mew and the only thing I do own is this story and characters not mentioned in the manga or anime.
'Welcome to our humble cafe how may I help you?' Retasu asked the next customer in line brightly.
'By giving me a table and some food,' Pai replied in a mumble, not looking at the fish girl.
'Don't tell me your not going to ask her out after spending three hours spying on her from the tree...'
'Kisshu!' the purple-haired alien hissed. Kisshu just beamed at the blushing pair and made his way to the kitchen to catch the unaware Ichigo alone.
'J-Just this way P-Pai-san, I have a table for three over here.' the fish girl stuttered.
'Three? I'm here on my own, Kisshu just followed me, and I think that Taruto is off with monkey-girl' Retasu just blinked at him then showed him to a table for two.
'Sorry, we only have tables for two available at the moment.'
'It's okay, I'm sure Kisshu will find a way to put it to good use.' There was an awkward silence in which Pai was frantically trying to think of something to say that wouldn't make him sound like an idiot. Of course, during this time he was wearing his usual expression and had crossed his arms-not the most inviting pose he could have taken in front of the shy Retasu. Just as he opened his mouth to ask her what she was doing after the cafe closed for the night, a loud crash came from the changing rooms followed by Ichigo's voice.
'YOU PERVERT! GET OUT OF HERE WHILE I'M CHANGING!!! RYOU!'
Kisshu was then thrown out of the door and hit the nearest table with a crash that made even Pai wince in sympathy. However, when he stood up, Kisshu was wearing a grin that literally split his face in two.
'Please restrain yourself from breaking my furniture in the future, strawberry.' Ryou said from the bottom of the stairs, and just before he went back up, 'And by the way, that's coming out of your pay.' The blonde boss smiled to himself as he heard the poor girl groan in frustration.
'Was there something you wanted to say to me Pai-san?' Retasu asked.
Mentally cursing Kisshu for distracting him when he had finally gotten up the courage to ask Retasu out, Pai replied;
'No, little fish, it was nothing.' and with that the oldest alien stood up and left.
Little...Fish? Retasu smiled to herself at her new nickname, deciding that she liked it. Blushing slightly, she walked off to attend to the next customer.
Later as she hummed to herself while cleaning up the shop, she realised that Pai hadn't bought anything to eat, which must mean that he had come in to see her and also that since she had seen Pai she hadn't dropped a single plate which was a personal record for her.
