Chapter 2- The mew order
Elliot and Wesley showed Zoey the front of Café mew mew.
"This acts as the top secret cover for our secret operations."
Wesley smiled at her. The Café looked beautiful from the outside. The building was tall and very pink, it looked like castle. No it was a castle. This looked like every little girls dream. Even Zoey thought it looked cute.
Elliot sighed at the comment, then Wesley continued.
"I'm glad you like it, you will be spending a lot of time here."
Then he bent over to Zoey's level.
"That is, if you accept our offer of employment."
Zoey looked uncomfortable.
"Employment? Yeah I get it."
Elliot replied back mockingly.
"Good because you don't really have a choice."
Zoey's face was full of confusion. Did he just say that?
Wesley told him off gently. Elliot said that he was only kidding, but Zoey couldn't be certain that he was. Elliot and Wesley both stood at the café doors. Even indoors it looked cute with glitter, and girly decor everywhere. The chairs where heart shaped, there was hearts everywhere. The inside seemed huge and it seemed that Elliot and Wesley spent a lot of money of this place. The interior design was very girly, which sturck odd, considering that two males were the ones to have designed the interior. It certainly wasn't manly, and Zoey thought that too.
Elliot perched on one of the red and white heart shaped chairs, whilst Wesley went out to the back to get Zoey's uniform. Moments later he came back with a white box with a red ribbon on top.
Wesley handed the girl the box.
"We have no time to waste, please try on your official uniform."
Wesley said politely. Zoey looked up Wesley feeling puzzled.
"Huh, I gotta wear a uniform?"
She questioned him and received a snarky retort from Elliot.
"You can't work here looking like that."
He had a point after all she was wearing her uniform and it wouldn't be suitable for working in a café. Zoey's head turned to Elliot. She was frustrated. She was sick of him teasing her all the time.
"Listen you-"
She was about to give Elliot a piece of her mind until Wesley spoke.
"That's not what he meant Zoey."
Zoey mood changed completely and she was now blushing at the complement.
"You look wonderful, we just need you to have a more professional image."
She now understood why her current look wouldn't be acceptable.
"You can change in the back."
She made her way to the back. She ran out screaming with joy.
"Who knew professional can look this cute."
Zoey wore black shoes with pink hearts, pale pink socks, hot pink and white waitress dress and the hat to match.
Wesley was told Zoey she was magnificent, she wasn't sure if he meant it.
"Really?"
Soon as Elliot started speaking both Zoey and Wesley turned their heads towards Elliot.
"I'm a little surprised myself to look at you in that uniform, you almost think that you're cute." He teased. She felt like she was about to explode.
"That's it."
Yet again Wesley tried to calm situation down.
"Ok now, look we all going to spend a lot of time together, let's try be more chummy."
His smile was weak. She turned herself around until she was facing Wesley.
"As for you Mr bow tie charming person, I want answers! Transforming into cat girl, fighting monsters."
Elliot face turned serious.
"What you thought today was no ordinary monster. It was a predisite."
Zoey was baffled, so he clicked his fingers and the lights of café turned off and there was image on the wall. Elliot tried to explain to Zoey that a predisite is a normal animal that has taking over by an infuser. Zoey scratched her head.
"Okay what is an infuser?"
Although Wesley and Elliot are not sure what they are or what they want.
Zoey decided she would ask more questions.
"But if you're not sure what they are and what they want-"
Elliot cut her off and face palmed.
"Look do they look friendly to you."
Wesley told her that they have been observing these type of creatures for years. Elliot told her that the two have been conducting research on how to try and figure out how to fight them. That at the moment the solution is the manipulation of human DNA and red data animals. He then told her that he and Wesley have watched her on her date with Mark.
Zoey flipped.
"Hey, how do you know about my-."
Then she gasped.
"You were spying on my date, that's so creepy."
Again Elliot disregarded Zoey's comments.
"Your DNA contains a rare code enabling you to be fused into a red data animal. To be precise a wildcat."
He then told her about the other data animals. Elliot clicked his fingers again. The lights were now on. There was a sound of the door opening. They whirled around to find Bryan Boy inside the cafe. He strolled towards them with swag. The three approached him.
"YOU AGAIN!"
Zoey complained.
"Do you know who I am?"
Zoey and Bryan Boy were face to face. They were having a stare down.
"No I don't. And i don't care who you are either!"
As soon as she said that both Elliot and Wesley gasped.
"He is the king of social media."
Elliot said quietly.
Wesley moved closer to Bryan Boy.
"Sorry sir, but you shouldn't be here the café is closed."
Bryan Boy decided to perch on one of the chairs.
"If the café is closed all the time then how do you expect to get customers? That's why I opened the café."
Elliot glared at him.
"You did what?!"
That was when an army of customers came flooding in. They all looked at Bryan Boy. Elliot went into the back, Wesley went to the kitchen and Zoey had to begin her job waitressing.
The café was now crowded. She thought it was supposed to be a cover, she didn't think it was an actual café and she had to do actual work. This was all the weirdo's fault. King of social media, yeah right. Zoey thought.
The other two members of the order sat down on the seats opposite him.
Chelsea looked almost exactly like Wesley; slim and tall with insanely long brown hair. The only few differences being the fact that her bangs where a light blonde shade and the obvious difference of her being female. She even had brown eyes the exact colour of Wesley's too, well one brown eye anyways. Her left eye wasn't the warm chocolate that her right was, instead in was a vibrant venemous green, with a sharp snake-like pupil. This was because she tried to use the DNA of a red data animal but the mutation didn't work correctly, thus resulting intot her mutated eye. Her outfit was like a feminine version of Wesley's; she sported fitted capri tux pants, a white blouse, and a fitted cropped sleeve tux shirt, along with a green bow tie, green heeled ankle boots and a green belt. She was the scientist, who has been trying to find out for years how to become a mew mew, and wondered why only specific gene codes produced the ability to transform into a mew. She wore black shades to cover her eyes so no one sees them.
Livia was full sass. She was nicknamed jokily by Bryan boy as the Queen of sass. She also was wearing black, because that was there signature colour for The Order. She wore a looses black ves top, with a hot pink undershirt that peeked out under her neckline, and black leggings which had a pattern on her left leg of hot pink slashing diagonal lines.. Her boots matched the pink colour and rested comfortably under her knee caps. Her hair was rather interesting, being wild tangles of curls that today she had pinned up sloppily ontop of her head. The colour of it was not one single colour but many variations of every shade of purple with a hot pink ombre at the tips. Despite her slim frame, Livia was known as the muscle of the group, being the best one at combat when situations turned ugly.
Bryan Boy jumped up with joy because he had something important he wanted to tell him.
"Café Mew Mew is just a cover up, it's really the secret headquarters for the mews."
The two girls both looked at each other and laughed.
"Isn't that too obvious. Café Mew Mew."
Livia was crying with laughter.
Wesley came over and placed the tea set on the table. Then Zoey came over.
"Hello can I take your order."
She forced a smile and disregarded Bryan boy from her sight as she focused on the Wesley lookalike and the smaller girl. Bryan Boy was about to speak when Livia waved her hand silencing him and ordered for the group.
"We will have three strawberry short cakes."
Then she walked away. Chelsea stopped laughing.
"At least we know that Zoey is a mew mew. What we need is a DNA to find out how she became a mew. All we need is a hair sample."
Livia's face lit up, almost like she had an idea. "The blonde dude is not here but the tall one is. Why don't Bryan Boy distracts pony tail dude whilst I distract Zoey and you my friend can get your hair sample."
Bryan Boy moaned.
"Why do I have to do the dirty work?"
Livia sighed in annoyance.
"Fine I distract ponytail, Chelsea distracts Zoey and you get Zoey's hair sample. Happy now?"
Bryan Boy smiles.
"Yes I am."
They see Zoey walking towards them which meant it was Livia's cue, so she strolled past Zoey and went into the kitchen to find Wesley. He looked like he was washing the dishes and he noticed someone standing there.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes you can, could I try some free samples?" Livia seemed to be small compared to him. Wow he is huge.
Wesley shook his head.
"Sorry but we don't do free samples on a Monday."
Livia pretended to smile.
"Really? On the notice board outside the café, it said there was going to be free samples. That's just false advertisement."
Wesley seemed to be nervous.
"This must be Bryan Boy doing… Come this way."
She followed him, to taste the wonderful cakes and tarts.
Meanwhile Zoey had approached Bryan Boy and Chelsea.
"There you go there is your strawberry short cake." She looked at the empty chair.
"Where did your friend go?"
Zoey asked curiously. Chelsea changed the subject. "I love your uniform, it's adorable"
She smiled and Zoey beamed at the compliment.
"It is isn't it! It's just the cutest"
Chelsea nodded in total agreement.
"I wish i had a job where i could wear a uniform like that"
Zoey's smile grew wide.
"So this place is new isn't it? How long have you being working here?"
"Actually it's my fi-"
She suddenly felt someone's hand on her head. Before she could wonder who's it was. Zoey felt this sharp pain, like someone pulling her hair.
Zoey looked up to find Bryan Boy with several strands of Zoey's red hair.
"What do you think you're doing?"
She yelled.
Bryan Boy realised that all eyes were on him.
"I saw a grey strand of hair, so I thought I would be nice and get rid of it for you. I mean your social media scores are already low."
Then he ran out of the café.
Livia finished eating the samples and headed towards her seat when something caught her eye. No it was someone that caught her eye. It was Elliot. Her eyes were now focused on him. Now they were both having a stare down. Elliot thought how weird this girl looked. She didn't exactly have the most normal hair colour in the world. He was intrigued. She was a bit creeped out on why he was staring at her, but she wasn't going to give up. She was going to win this stare down. Finally he blinked and Livia pointed at him and said.
"Ha I win."
Elliot feeling baffled about what just happened. She made her way to her seat. She sat down on her chair and frowned at the empty chair.
"Where did Bryan Boy go?"
Chelsea giggled.
"He took a huge clump of Zoey's hair and ran off."
Liva burst into laughter.
"Oh God. That's Bryan Boy for you."
Livia shovelled her strawberry short cake and grabbed what was Bryan Boy's short cake, and demolished it. Chelsea shook her head.
"What?"
Livia still had food in her mouth. She swallowed.
"After we are paying, we are not going to let this go to waste."
"So what happened with you and Wesley?" Chelsea was meaning to ask Livia that question but she totally forgot. It was just now until she thought about it.
"Well… I convinced him that today was supposed to be free samples and I tried some of the cakes he made. Then the blonde was staring at me. Probably the hair."
She laughed.
"Probably was, i mean that mop of yours has a mind of it's own" Chelsea agreed.
"We should go now."
The two left the café.
Moments later…
Wesley closed the café.
Zoey fumed.
"I thought this was supposed to be cover."
Elliot shrugged.
"It slipped my mind."
Zoey growled.
"Is there anything you want to tell me that might slip your mind?"
She yelled.
At that moment Wesley came and put his hands together, almost like he was hiding something. As soon as opened his hands, Zoey's attention was now on Wesley. A pink fuzz ball flew out and circled Zoey. It was cute it was light pink, its ears was hot pink and its eyes where light pink. Wesley designed this, this robot detects danger, aliens and predisites. Its name R200. Zoey giggled.
"How cute, I think I'm going to name you Mini Mew."
Elliot turned serious again.
"Your first mission is to find the second mew."
Zoey was now on the streets with her school uniform looking for the second mew mew.
"Alright Mini Mew, you got any ideas?"
Everything was fine until Mini mew said
"Predisite alert, Predisite alert."
She looked around to find it, but to her surprise she found a dog running towards her. Surely it wasn't a predisite. The yellow dog jumped into Zoey's arms, licking her face.
"Mickey come back here."
An old lady stepped out of the car to retrieve her dog.
"You wanted to play with the street Urchin."
Zoey could tell from that comment that she was first class.
"Street Urchin!."
She was offended. Another person stepped out of the car. This time it was someone younger. She was quite small with black hair which she tied up in two buns.
"Now Mickey we are going to have to give you another bath."
Zoey could tell this girl was spoilt, she oozed arrogance.
She moved closer to the red head.
"I apologise for my dog."
Zoey didn't know what to say to the girl.
"Here take this."
Her hand reached her pocket to grab what looked like a handkerchief. "It's made of silk."
Zoey smiled.
"Yeah it is, it is soft. You can have it back now."
She went to give the handkerchief.
"Don't give it back you soiled it. No offence I couldn't possibly take it back. I think we're done here. Have a nice day!"
Corina and the old woman got back into the car and off they went leaving an angry Zoey behind.
"ARGH WHAT A JERK!" She growled.
Mini Mew appeared.
"Jerk alert, Jerk alert!"
The next day…
The sky was dark. The street lamps were on. It was late. Zoey was determined to find the new mew but it seemed to be an impossible task.
She perched on a street bench. The whole area was quiet until… Mini mew announced that there was a predisite. However when Zoey tried to search for it, but all she saw was that horrible stuck up girl from yesterday.
"Maybe she has something to do with the predisite."
Corina and her nana went into the car again, and that was Zoey's chance to follow them. She decided to chase the car by foot. She ran until she found her nana. They both went into the house. Wow this place is huge, although it was only the east wing.
Bryan Boy was on his way to leave, but when he saw Zoey he decided to stay. Zoey looked up at him.
"You again!"
She yelled at him. What Zoey did not realise was that Corina was right behind him.
"Excuse you he is my guest, and I won't allow you to treat him in such a manner. So why are you here?"
Zoey glared at him.
"I came to give your handkerchief back."
Corina stood in the middle of the green staircase.
"I told you I don't want it."
The curiosity had gotten the best of Zoey.
"So why is he here then?"
Corina sighed.
"He is here to boost up my social media score."
All of a sudden Micki ran downstairs the red head girl.
"Hey mickey how you been?"
She laughed when he licked her hand.
"I best be on my way."
Bryan Boy thought. Corina shook her head.
"No I don't want you to leave yet until that poor girl is gone."
He smiled and stuck his tongue at her. Zoey got angry and lashed out at him. Bryan boy laughed.
"Social media won't like this."
Corina said politely.
"I would like you to leave now."
Zoey grabbed her phone from her pocket.
"I will see myself out. I'm going to look around first."
She stood in every inch of the room, but Mini Mew wasn't saying anything. For a few minutes Zoey moved from place to place, although Corina had lost her patience with the girl.
"Excuse me I would like you to go."
Zoey frowned.
Corina went down the stairs.
"Listen I have warm ups in the morning and tours for the less fortunate are done for evening
and see yourself out."
She made her way up the stairs again.
"Bye Mickey."
This made Corina stop at the middle of the stairs again.
"Please don't pet my dog, I don't want to wash him again tonight."
Zoey growled.
"Argh…I'm gonna."
She started ranting about the rich girl to Mini Mew, until she heard a bark. It was Mickey. He ran down towards her.
Zoey picked him and started stroking him.
"You are a very sweet pooch but the princess says we're are not allowed to play together anymore. So be a good boy."
She put down the dog and headed off.
Bryon Boy was on his way out when he noticed Mickey. He was different. Yes he looked scary.
"There you are, Corina has been looking for you."
The dog started growling.
"Why do you look so scary?"
The dog grew and grew. Zoey thought she would call it a day when she heard a scream coming from the house. Then Mini Mew warned her about danger, confirming that it was a predisite. Zoey ran towards the house. The predisite hit Bryon Boy and he flew to the other side of the room. Corina came downstairs petrified.
Zoey came to the house and gasped.
"It's my Mickey he turned into a monster."
That was Zoey's cue, she shouted.
"Power Pendant mew mew metamorphosis."
She did her famous rap.
"Mew mew style, mew mew grace, mew mew power in your face."
The predisite was too focused on the girls, that was when Bryan Boy decided to get his phone out and started recording the mew mew's actions.
The predisite slashed his paw towards the girls when Zoey held Corina and jumped out of the way.
Zoey shouted.
"Strawberry bell."
Then Zoey's pink strawberry appeared.
Corina was confused about the situation. Scary monsters, cat girl, what was going on?
"Hold it. Don't hurt my sweet little Micki."
Zoey turned around to face Corina. That was the predisite's chance and it slashed Zoey against the wall. Corina was on her hands and knees.
"Stop this at once Micki or… no treats for you."
The girl was scared. She ran towards Zoey but the Predisite scratched her back, and she collapsed to the ground.
Zoey looked at her back to find a strange pink mark on her back.
"What's that on your back?"
Corina got herself up. That was when Zoey realised.
"No way a mew mew mark."
"Huh?"
Corina could not process what was going on.
"This means you're one of the team."
Mini mew appeared and opened his out and then a power pendant came out of it. It dropped on the floor.
"That's a power pendant. You're not going to believe this this but err…"
Corina snaps.
"What's going on here?"
Zoey tried explaining to her about the situation.
"You can transform like me, trust me you already know how."
She said aggressively.
The predisite was going the attack again when Corina she picked up the power pendent and yelled.
"Help me!"
The girl was desperate.
Corina hair was a dark blue, and her wings were dark blue too, she had a light blue necklace with her power pendant, light blue gloves, light blue dress and shoes to match.
She was amazed with herself. Did she just transform?
The predisite tried to attack again but the girls jumped out of the way.
The predisite tried to attack once more and Corina yelled;
"Heart arrow."
Then a light blue arrow appeared in her arms. She released the arrow and it stunned the predisite. It was Zoey's and she done her strawberry bell attack on the predisite. The infuser left Mickey's body. Mini knew what to do next and ate the infuser.
Bryan Boy quickly put his phone away and pretended to wake up.
"What happened?"
He got up. Corina was back to normal she smiled at him.
"You fell down the stairs."
"Oh I did? I better be off, i should go to a doctor or something"
He walked out of the house and went into a safe place.
He grabbed his phone once again.
"Chelsea I just found another mew."
Chelsea clapped her hands.
"Have you got any proof?"
"Yes I do. There's more, each mew mew has a strange pink mark on their body."
Chelsea jumped up and down.
"This is fascinating. I got to get back to the lab, see you tomorrow."
The next morning…
"Well…"
Corina was looking for compliments.
"Brilliant. You're uniform is smashing."
Her uniform was exactly like Zoey's apart from most of the colours. Her uniform was mainly
dark blue but her bow was light blue. Wesley started clapping.
"You look awesome."
Zoey smiled.
"Yeah Now good luck trying to find the other mew mews."
He walked off. Wesley put on his fake smile.
"Well we open it five minutes."
He ran after Elliot.
Meanwhile at the lab…
Livia was taking her lab coat off after finishing assisting chelsea with something and her eyes lingered on a small pink mark on her arm. She couldn't remember if it had been there before, and found it odd that for some reason now it seemed to catch her attention. Could it be a mew mew mark?
