Chapter 2

Tart… he was just standing there. In the doorway, he smiled at me.

"Hey. I'm here for that last candy drop." He grinned goofily. I just stared at him. Why hadn't Deep Blue come to kill him yet? I had had dreams like this he would come back then ask for his candy drop, then Deep Blue would sweep through the door to kill him.

I pinched my arm and winced. This was real. My eyes started to tear up and I ran past him and through the doors, shoving people out of my way. I kept running, suddenly I heard someone shouting my name. I couldn't see where I was going; my tears were blocking my vision.

"PUDDING! Wait! Stop! Where are you going?!" I didn't stop, I just ran faster. I tripped on a stone, flipping over. I landed on my feet due to my monkey skills, but fell to my knees. I felt Tart kneel next to me. He turned me towards him and rocked me back and forth. I pushed him away and stood up.

"HOW COULD YOU!?" I screamed at him, "HOW COULD YOU!? YOU LEFT! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY A PROPER GOODBYE!" I ran towards him and started to punch him in the chest. I thumped as hard as I could, still crying. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH?! I WOKE UP SCREAMING EVERY NIGHT. I-I would cry myself to sleep. Do you know how I felt? Hu? I felt like you ripped out my heart and tore it into tiny little pieces, Tart. You broke my heart! I dreamed about you dying. I didn't speak for two weeks. I stopped doing my tricks. I didn't even know what I was doing half the time." I was too choked up to speak anymore. I clung to him. My flare of rage finished. He slipped he arms around me and held me close.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. He stroked my hair and then picked me up. He teleported us back to the café.

"What happened to Pudding?" I heard Mint ask.

"She, um I don't really know." Tart whispered. People were now filling into the café so Tart took me into the kitchen.

"Pai?" he asked, "Can I have one of those pills that change my ears?"

"Sure." Pai walked into my line of vision and almost smiled at me when he handed Tart the swallowed it whole and he ears started to change into human ones. I blinked rapidly. I thought I was hallucinating. He chuckled lightly and scratched behind my monkey ear. I giggled and jumped out of his arms, flipped on my iPod and the song '22' by Taylor Swift came on. I grabbed a handful of flour from the counter and chucked it at Tart. He got the idea and grabbed a bag flinging some at me and running into the dinning area. I grabbed a bag myself and took the iPod following him. I chucked some at Ichigo she squealed and it turned into a full on flour fight.

"I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22! Everything will be alright, if you keep me next to you! You don't know about me, but I'll bet you want to, everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're, 22, 22!" Ichigo, Lettuce, Mint and I all sang, dancing around the tables, throwing flour at each other and the customers.

I jumped up and flipped in the air avoiding a blow from Kisshu. I pelted Pai who laughed and grabbed Lettuce by the waist twirling her around and coating her in flour.

"We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way! It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah. Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks! It's time!" I shouted picking up another bag of flour somebody dropped and attacking Ryou.

Tart had disappeared; I turned around to see him holding about ten pillows. I took one off him and whacked Zakuro with it making the feathers litter the place like snow. She laughed and showered me with flour. Keiichiro came out of the kitchen with a massive bag of icing sugar. He gave it to me and I jumped up as high as I could grabbing hold of the door frame and threw the sugar into the air, it caught on the ceiling fan, the icing sugar swirled around the room, layering everyone in white. I leapt into Tarts arms, popping a bag. I laughed out loud as he twirled me around.

"It feels like one of those nights, we ditch the whole scene. It feels like one of those nights, we won't be sleeping!"

"WOO HOO!" I giggled, twirling around the room. "I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22, everything will be alright, if you keep me next to you!"

I fell over, dragging Tart down with me. I rolled around grabbing one of the pillows we'd dropped and thwacked him with it, sending more feathers on the floor. He started to tickle me and I squealed. That's when I realized his hair had changed. His pigtails had changed into one similar, to Kisshu's. I grinned at him and pulled his hair gently. He scooped me up and smirked, dumping me in a pile of flour and feathers. I squeaked and took handfuls dropping it over his head. I jumped on a free table and shouted,

"I'M TH QUEEN OF THE WORLD!" I fell backwards, Tart caught me just at the start of the next song which 'magic' by Selena Gomez.

"Never been awake! Never seen a day break! Leaning on my pillow in the morning! Lazy day in bed! Music in my head! Crazy music playing in the morning light!" I got all the girls in the café in a line and we all swished from side to side, singing to our hearts content! The last bit of the song played and we all shouted,

"Oh, oh, oh it's magic, you know! Never believe its not so! It's magic, you know! Never believe, it's not so!" the song stopped and Sk8er boi by Avril Lavigne started.

"He was a boi, she was a girl! Can I make it anymore obvious? He was a punk.
She did ballet. What more can I say? He wanted her, she'd never tell, but secretly she wanted him as well!" I grabbed Tarts arm and swung around.

"He was a skater boy, she said, "See ya later, boy." He wasn't good enough for her. She had a pretty face but her head was up in space. She needed to come back down to earth!" I was jumping up and down, singing along. I took another pillow and ran up to Pai, I hit him on the head and bashed him everywhere I could. He yelped and then grabbed the other side of the pillow; it was a little like tug of war. I let go at the same time as he did and the pillow fell to the floor, feathers poofing out of it as it deflated. I jumped on Tart's back and we ran around the room, I picked up a bag of flour and scattered the flour around the room when the music instrumental

"Sorry, girl, but you missed out. Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now. We are more than just good friends. This is how the story ends. Too bad that you couldn't see... See the man that boy could be. There is more than meets the eye; I see the soul that is inside. He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl. Can I make it anymore obvious? We are in love. Haven't you heard how we rock each other's world?" the sirens finished and I hopped off Tart, and stopped my iPod.

"Aww!" Kish and Ichigo sighed in unison. "Just one more song?"

I looked at Ryou who shrugged as if to say "Sure why not?"

"Ok I am taking requests!" I shouted.

"'SO WHAT' BY PINK!" Ichigo, Zakuro and Lettuce shouted. I grinned.

I flicked through my song till I got to 'so what' and clicked.

"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (Nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight!" All five of us mews were each on a table doing the dance moves we'd made up at a sleep over. We all jumped up and twirled around pumping out fists in the air.

"So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool!" I grabbed tarts hand and pulled him on to the table with me, I danced around him, jumping up and down.

"So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

Uh, check my flow, uh

The waiter just checked my table
And gave to Jessica Simps (Shit!)!
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
Then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble!
My ex will start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
He's gonna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
We're all gonna get in a fight!" I dipped backwards, Tart caught me, and swung me around, and he was grinning. He threw me in the air, I stuck a pose and he, again, caught me.

"So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool" now everybody in the café were watching me and Tart, I jumped off the table as it started to rain outside, I took him outside and everybody followed, I was jumping up and down, flipping over and singing as loud as I could.

"So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight
You weren't there
You never were
You want it all
But that's not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there
You let me fall!" Lettuce took Pai's hand as started doing the same thing as me and Tart were doing, Ichigo did the same with Kisshu.

So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done (we're done)
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright(I'm alright),I'm just fine (I'm just fine)
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight!" Tart twirled me out and in again, so I was pushed right up against him, we were both beaming madly, I laughed out loud.

"No, No, No, No!
I Don't want you tonight
You weren't there
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't, I don't want you tonight

Ba da da da da da!" I finished in Tart's arms, his hands holding me up by my waist; my hands were in the air one in a 'peace' sign above my head and the other in a 'respect' sign on my heart. There were cheers from floured customers and the rest of the team, I looked over at Ichigo and Kisshu stating into each others eyes and Lettuce was blushing madly in the same position as me with Pai. I smiled at her and let her down. Ryou and Zakuro where on each side of the doorway smirking and Keiichiro was smiling at us standing in the crowd.

"That… was … fun!" I panted; Tart let me down but didn't say anything. I raised my eye brow at him.

"I don't think I've ever seen you so… energetic whilst dancing!" He laughed. I giggled and kissed his cheek. He froze for a minute. Then blinked.

"Are you ok? Taru-Taru?" I asked using the nickname he hated. He snapped out of his trance and smirked at me evilly.

"I don't like the look of that smirk."
