Even after getting to the park, Akuamarin's words still worried Amejisuto. Her mother going to die? How was that possible, Retasu was a very healthy woman, she didn't seem as if she was ill.
The girls sat down on the swings, Akuamarin just staring at her lap, why Amejisuto rocking back and forth slowly.
"Akua? What did you mean before? Back at the café?"
The once small and fragile state the blond was in change into one that was hard and cold, she looked up at the other with a tearstained face and glaring aqua green eyes.
"I meant what I said, my mother is going to die and there's no stopping it from happening." Akuamarin's voice was like ice, but Amejisuto knew this was only a façade to keep herself from crying again.
"But how is she going to die? She seems perfectly fine last I saw her, unless something happened in the last few days?"
She didn't get any kind of response from her.
The two girls spent a long time in silence, just sitting on the swing set, no longer swinging.
~ I see you come, I watch you go; you never seem to leave me, though.
So is this love or hate? We'll see...you're makin' me crazy! ~
Amejisuto patted herself down in search of her cell phone, after finally finding the pocket it was in she saw it was her father calling.
"Hello? Dad? What's wrong?"
"Amejisuto, I need you to come back to the café and bring Akuamarin with you. This is very important do you understand?"
"Yes Dad, but what's so important?"
The line had gone dead before she could get an answer.
Amejisuto looked to the still silent girl and sighed, "Looks like we gotta go back, my dad says it's important."
She was only given a nod.

When they got to the café the 'Closed' sign was seen through the window.
"That's odd, it's a Friday, and we're busiest on Fridays, why would Dad close up?" Amejisuto thought.
Taking out her key and unlocking the door, Amejisuto and Akuamarin hurried inside.
Making sure she relocked the door, Amejisuto looked around the usually occupied café. All of the lights were off, the little light there was, was coming from the few windows that weren't shaded by the closed curtains.
"What did Uncle Keii want?" Akuamarin finally asked, after being silent the entire way there.
"I don't know, he just said to get back to the café, nothing else."
A loud rumbling sound from below caught the girls' attention, telling them that someone was in the lab, most likely Keiichiro and maybe Lee.
"Come on, better check out what's going on."
Knowing exactly where the secret entrance to the lab was they headed below the café.

Upon entering the lab the girls were greeted by Lee, Keiichiro, Retasu and Ryou standing next to something that looked like a giant loudspeaker/cannon, but more… techy.
"Dad? What is that?"
"This is going to be the thing that will help us save the world, but first I have to ask you two something. Are you willing to change to help save the world?"
At first neither girl understand what he was talking about, then it clicked.
"This thing, will turn us in to Mew Mews, wont it?"
Ryou chuckled at the question, "It can't turn you into something you already are, it can however awaken the Red Data DNA inside of you which will result in you gaining the powers of Mews."
"Wait! How can we have Red Data DNA in us? I thought the Mew Project was completely cancelled after Mama and Aunt Zakuro lost their powers along with the other Mew Mews?"
Akuamarin was having just as hard of a time grasping the idea that she could have animal DNA in her as Amejisuto was.
Lee then spoke up, "Easy actually, Mom and the other Mews may have lost their powers, but their animal DNA was still there. Their animal DNA was passed on to us, their offspring, but that DNA also mutated in the process of getting used to the new host causing a different species that matched better to form instead."
"Okay, so we have animal DNA like our moms, but why not reawaken their animal DNA? They've had tons more experience fighting than we do."Amejisuto asked.
"The original Mews lost their powers a long time ago, with such a long time with their Mew power inactive, it's impossible to get them back now. That's why we're asking you to become Mews yourselves."
"So we have a choice?"
"Sort of Akua-chan, if you both choose to let your animal DNA be awaken, then you choose for all the new Mews."
"All of them? So they done get a say in it?"
"I'm afraid not Amejisuto, once this machines has been activated all of the new Mews' animal DNA will be active. So what will it be? Will you both become the new saviors of the planet?"
