Pixy: Hi again! I don't feel like doing the disclaimer myself, so I'll make Minto do it.

Minto: NO! WHY ME? NOOOOOO….NOOO…

Kish: o.O The birdie's spazzing…

Minto: Shut up. I refuse to do the disclaimer.

Pixy: GAH. Since I am the author, I will MAKE you do the disclaimer.

Minto: Pixy-chan does not own Tokyo Mew Mew or any of the characters in Toyo Mew Mew. HAPPY? I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DO THAT BUT YOU FORCED ME TO DO—

Pixy: THIS IS GETTING WAY TOO LONG. ROLL, CHAPPIE!

Ryou's point of view

I lie in bed, staring up at the ceiling. My foot still throbs from when I dropped that stupid vase on it. She probably thinks I'm an idiot. I'm not even going to tell you who I mean. Not that I like her or anything…I mean, why would—

My own voice cuts through my thoughts. REALLY, RYOU. STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH. YOU KNOW THE SITUATION. YOU HAVE TO STOP SPAZZING.

Everyone else has been acting strangely lately. It seems like everyone knows how I feel about Ichigo except Ichigo. Darn it, Ryou, shut up and go to sleep.

Ichigo's point of view: Next morning.

Baka. Baka, baka, baka. I should never have called Ryou by his first name last night. Oh, look. There I go again doing it. Alright. Shirogane, Shirogane, Shirogane! Ugh. Now it sounds like I'm repeating his name like some kind of mantra.

"Um, Ichigo?" says Retasu. I snap my head up from my breakfast. (A\N: OK, I know she doesn't eat breakfast at the café, but let's just say that she was in a hurry, so they gave her some food.)

"Why are you repeating Shirogane's name under your breath?" Minto asks, perfectly innocent.

Oh. My. God. I can feel myself turning five shades of red. Now they probably think I'm some kind of crazy person. Or worse, that I like Shirogane. Oh joy. I called him by his last name this time. I suddenly notice that Shirogane himself is standing in the corner, smirking. I close my eyes, beyond embarrassed.

"Ichigo?" says Retasu again.

I do the only thing possible. I get up calmly and leave the room.

After the fact: A meeting upstairs

"So, just to clarify: Our job is to point out everything possible that will make Ichigo and Shirogane notice each other more?"

"Yes," said Keiichiro. "Retasu, good job with getting Minto's attention this morning."

Retasu smiled. "Thank you," she said.

"Are we ready for my part, na no da?"

"Very soon…"

A\N: The last chappie was so short, I hope this one can make up for it! And I know I messed up the names—I call Lettuce "Retasu," but I call Pudding "Pudding." Sorry!

Please review! I need more ideas! And NO flames please! This is my 1st fanfic so please be nice!
