What do you mean, true love?" Mint quoted. "You must find your true love, my dear girl, before the year is up. Just remember, that he will be the one you fall for. Not the one who falls for you!" The birds voice faded, until it was gone. "Before the year is up," she mused. "Wait a minute, oh no! It's already August! But, who would be good enough for me to fall for? After all, I am perfect." She said smugly, before being mauled by her team. (In the dream.) A few hours after Mint had woken up, showered, and gotten dressed, she was bored out of her mind. "What on Earth am I supposed to do now that I quit my job?" She said, frustrated. While she was busy in her room, door locked of course, her brother was sneaking around.

"What can I do today, I wonder?" Seiji pondered, then decided to bug Mint. "It's the perfect plan!" he snickered. So while he was sneaking quietly down the stairs, from his room on the fourth story, Mint was pondering over who her true love was.
"Who would love me though? I just boss everyone around and do nothing. But the real question is, who do I like? Grr! It's just so confusing! I just don't know what to do!" She moaned, feeling sorry for herself. She leaned back on her bed and reached for the nightstand. She pulled her cellphone off, and dialed the only person she knew she could trust.

Seiji's POV

"All I have to do, is sneak in the window! Or maybe, through the roof! No,what if I just go through the door?" Seiji was planning his day of bugging Mint. So while he was going up the stairs, singing the mission impossible theme song, he thought of what he would say. 'Hey Mint, what are you doing? Can I play in your room? Wait-scratch that last one, it sounds like I'm four!' Seiji walked by Mint's room just as Mint called someone. He heard a "Hello?" and decided to stick around for a minute. "Zakuro, I have a problem." Mint said. 'What could she have a problem with?' Seiji wondered. "Well, Ryou should know by now, Since he's been monitoring us since forever! Will you ask if I can come back to work, I need to tell you guys something important! No, well, I mean-oh just ask!" She yelled into the phone. 'Wait, Mint quit her job? I wonder why. Maybe I can follow her around today and see why!' He thought. "Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Mint said, and hung up. 'I gotta get out of here!' Seiji thought, and sprinted down the stairs and went into the dining room. "This is perfect!" He said aloud before following Mint outside.

Normal POV

While Mint walked the few miles to the cafe, she took note of how crisp the air felt. 'Ahh! This may actually turn out to be a good day! I'm even going on a date- wait, stop right there! I am not going on a date with Zakuro!' She thought, fighting a furious blush. She hadn't noticed Seiji trailing her, and boy was he loud! When the two ( Unkown to one) got to the last corner of the road, Seiji had fallen over a trash can, ran into a mailbox, and walked into a pole! Mint figured that, since she couldn't handle the searing pain of transforming, it wasn't her problem!

About a block away from the cafe, Seiji noticed how dressed up Mint was. 'Wow. She must be on a date! That's why her face was so red a few blocks ago!' Seiji thought.' But who could it be? Her boss?' Seiji remembered her saying something about her boss watching her. He suddenly jumped up from behind the fence, where he was spying on Mint. "This just got interesting..." He said aloud then giggled, waking up a big, black and brown dog in the process. He heard the growl from behind, and turned slowly. The dog was slightly foaming at the mouth, and looked half-crazed. Seiji's eyes became huge. The dog lunged, and Seiji screamed. He ran like a crazy fool to get away from the dog. "HELP!" Seiji shouted. Birds flew from the trees when he screamed.

Mint finally arrived at the cafe after Seiji was attacked. As she stood at the door stoop, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. 'Ok. Zakuro is behind these doors. If anyone is mean, she'll get them. Well, here goes nothing!' Mint thought as she opened the double doors. All work pretty much stopped when Mint walked in. Pudding was on her big blow-up ball, and fell off when Mint walked in. Ichigo was helping Lettuce pick up some shards of a dish she dropped. She looked back at the table where she used to sit, and thought with a pang, 'I miss it here.'
