Chapter 2
The Newest Experiment
"They've saved the world again!" shouted the TV reporter excitedly. The battle of the Mew Mew's was showing on every TV screen in city, pink, blue, green, purple and yellow blurs shot past the Kirema Animas, blasting the villain to pieces. I let out a loud gasp, there she was Mew Ichigo! I had wanted it for years, desired it, I wanted to become a Mew Mew, and I'd do whatever it takes to become one.
My alarm beeped, signaling 8:00am. Today I was going to become a Mew Mew. I knew that the best place to try and find the Mew's would be the Café, so as I dressed I planned out my mission.
As I paced around the Café, with my back to the wall I felt like one of Charlie's angels. Peering through the window I saw them; Ichigo, Minto, Lettuce, Pudding and Zakuro. I started to climb up onto the window sill; it was hidden by a large fern so no one would see me. My heart froze, I was being watched, I had always been able to tell when someone was watching me so I swiveled round to see a brown cat wearing a cute little yellow bow. "Aww" I cooed and bent down to stroke the Cat, the air began to sparkle like glitter and I heard a faint tinkling. The cat became a boy, with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, like mine.
"Holy crap!" I gasped, the boy laughed seductively
"That's the reaction I was hoping for" He smirked.
All of a sudden I recognized him; he was the Boy who owned the Café, the Boy in the window.
"You're supposed to go in through the Door, not the Window" he said, amused. "Why were you trying to break in anyway?" this was my chance I stood up firmly.
"I want to become a Mew Mew!" The Boy's face became slightly more serious.
"You're not supposed to know about the experiment" He whispered
"But I do, and I'll tell everyone unless you make me a Mew Mew!" I shouted.
The boy placed a finger on my lips and laughed once more.
"Your very persistent, I like that. Just let me think about it okay?"
I sighed and agreed with the handsome Boy.
"My names Ryou" he smirked holding out a hand
"Sapphire" I said shaking his hand, while I tried not to break contact with those glorious eyes.
I must admit that as I walked towards the Café, I was scared to walk in. I wore a lacy black Tutu dress and white cat's ears. I had finally managed to ear the ebony ballet slippers with ribbons that trailed up my legs. I suppose I looked really gothic, but still the costume worked given what I knew I'd become, or die trying.
Everyone turned to stare at me as I entered, they're jaws dropped. 'Why? do I look that bad?' I thought self-consciously. I tried to take my mind off of all the eyes pressing in on me and instead I concentrated on my goal. There was Temura and Keiichiro dancing in the middle of the room, and Jacob. His back was against the wall and there was a far away look in his eyes. He probably hadn't seen me so this was my chance to sneak away. I looked around franticly until I saw Ryou, he was walking up the stairs. An Employees only sign hung above the stairway, but that wasn't going to keep me back. I snuck up the winding stairs after him until I reached a long dank hallway. A sign on the wall above a room read 'Lab' so I walked in.
There it was a beautiful ornament in the middle of the room and a huge gun, I knew it was what turned the five girls into Mew mew's because I had been there at the Zoo the very same day it happened, I had been in the 'earthquake', seen the auras around the girls. My heart beat faster, this was my chance, this was it! I would finally get what I desired. I heard footsteps coming towards the room and didn't even stop to hesitate; there was a big red obvious button on the huge gun. I pressed it just as Ryou entered the room. There as a flash of light like a firework had been set off and then I was surrounded by complete darkness.
It was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes, at first it was just a floating form and then it became clearer. It was female, I'm pretty sure, and the wings on her back were smoky white. Like it couldn't decide whether its wings were white or black. Her face was like a porcelain dolls, there were thick tears running down her slender cheeks. The Angel flew towards me and we embraced warmly. I thought it was over but suddenly a great silver fox jumped into vision, it looked dangerous, its teeth were bared, but then it too became a part of me. How strange.
I fell to the floor, my curls spread across the tiles. However it still wasn't over, I was lifted into the air and I transformed. My wings burst out in a silvery shower, the feathers pressed to my body like a dress and then they started to sparkle like glitter, each one fell to the floor like petals, revealing a short frilly dress like the one I wore to the party but this one was enchanting and beautiful. White shining ribbons twisted around my legs and arms. A tight necklace suddenly appeared on my neck with a diamond encrusted on the middle. My hair cascaded down my back and finally two long crystal ears sprouted from my head, like a tiara. I was finally a Mew mew, the most magnificent Mew mew in existence.
"I knew this would happen" said Ryou gravely; I flew down towards him, ecstatic.
"I feel great! I'm a Mew mew!" I screamed with joy, he took my hand and pulled me towards him. Ryou looked at me with fearful eyes and whispered
"Your in great danger, this experiment was untested; your d.n.a has been merged with two mythical creatures! The Angel and the Crystal fox!"
"That doesn't sound so bad, it sound amazing" I laughed "Come on Ryou, lets dance!" I smiled "Just tell me how to change back!"
