Disclaimer: I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew. That's really too bad but at least I can still write a fanfiction for it.


Diva had been spending alot of time in Pai's room lately. Some days he would ask her a million questions. All of his inquiries were about humans and earth. Sometimes, he would vanish suddenly and come back a bit later with an annoyed look on his face but whatever had happened, he would tell Diva the same thing, "It would break me to let you go back." Diva didn't have the slightest inkling what he couldv'e meant. One thing Diva had noticed, was that Pai never left his room unless it was to vanish to earth or the greek-ruins where he had taken her when he first kidnapped her. Pai had even began to read out loud to Diva before she went to sleep. Diva once told him that his voice soothed her when he reads poems and that it couldn't be helped she fell asleep whenever he read them. Pai would smile as she lay her head on one of his pillows and drift asleep before he would always recite the same self-made poem in her ear:

There are those who want the lovely lady rose,

But I want the one who can recite a prose,

Whom doesn't care whether or not posture is key,

As long as all she care's about posture,

Is if she really does like to be postured,

Right next to or beside of a person like me.

After his poem, Diva would always wake up and ask him what was that noise. She couldn't quite hear it but she had told him once that it sounded like a soft orchestra of rhyming bells whispering in her ears. "Yet I'm supposed to be the romantic alien," Pai had answered sarcasticly to her description of his poem of which she had no idea he had recited to her. Diva would just smile at the thought of the sound and go back to sleep. Once he was positive she was fully asleep, he would always peck her cheek and then lay his pillow upon her chest and curl his head upon the pillow before falling asleep himself. "I wish Diva could stay forever," he would tell himself tiredly as he stared out the window that revealed earth. "I have to set you free soon," he'd yawn sadly to himself before finally falling asleep.

The day Pai decied to send Diva back was a sad one, for him at the least. He had made sure that Diva had no knowledge of this and she was happily reading a book while sitting on his lap. Usually, he would've told her that such things were not human behavior and thus improper but today he didn't mind. "Let's go somewhere on earth today," he suggested. "Where should we go?" Diva asked him in shock and suprise. "Wherever makes Diva happy." Answered Pai. " In that case, I want to go to caf'e Mew Mew! The first nice person I ever met other than my father worked there." Explained Diva. Suddenly, a pang of jealousy struck Pai as he realized it could've been Shirogane or his partner that had shown his friend kindness.

Wait a minute, what am I thinking? Diva's a special friend and nothing more, why do I care if someone else wants to make her happy? Is it because I want to be the one to do that? Is it some kind of feeling a friend has or is this feeling of jealousy stabbing at me because she might be in love with someone else? Furthermore, what do I care? After today, I'll never see the thing that make's me happy again. The least I can do is allow her to be happy.

Pai looked at his good friend's small figure and smiled at her for perhps the last time. "Hold on tight," he ordered before the pair suddenly appeared in Caf'e Mew Mew. Pai watched in horror as his friend disembarked from him and shook Shirogains hand before pointing over to him. "He's my friend," explained Diva as she looked at Pai. "I have to go now, Diva! Take care of yourself!" He choked out as he faught back tears before disappearing. He could hear her shouts of protest but this was the only way he knew how to let her go.

Shirogane looked at the now vacant spot where one of his enemies had vanished then back to Diva. "Are you going to be okay?" He asked her. "No," truthfully answered Diva as she stared at her feet. "There's something I would've liked to tell him." Said Diva dreamily as she imagined what Pai would've said. "He can be very romantic to someone if he or she get's to know him." Sadly sighed Diva before a few stray tears dropped down her face and on to the floor. "I'll walk you home," offered Shirogane. "No thanks," said Diva before she walked out of the cafe and into the streets of Tokyo. Slowly but surely, heading to the comfort of her own home.

Unkown to Diva, nearby Pai watched happily as Diva walked through the streets. "I wonder what she had wanted to tell me?" He asked himself inquisitively. "My friend may never see me again, but that doesn't mean I can't keep a close eye on her." He said as he vanished and then reappeared in front of the caf'e. Sure enough, Shirogane came flaunting out the cafe and right up to Pai. "For an intellgent alien, your'e a real idiot. For crying out loud, that girl loves you and the way her love repays her is by ditching her?!" Angrily asked Shirogane. "Diva deserves to be more than a hostage on a ship." Retorted Pai. "You're right, Diva deserves someone like you but you're to dimwitted to see it at the moment." Argued Shirogane before shrugging his anger off and walking back inside.

Diva couldn't bring herself to walk all the way home and thus took refuge on an empty nearby bench. The afternoon was qiuickly fading from her view as grey rain clouds and the dark form of night approached. Droplets of rain finally splattered onto Diva's face but she didn't care; The rain could only hide her own droplets of water pouring from her face to the ground. "I wish I could've told Pai," she said sadly as she stared at her reflection in the puddle at her feet. "What is it that Diva would like to tell me?" Asked a soothing and familiar voice. Diva looked up to find a floating, rain drenched, and freezing Pai piercing into her eyes with his own. "Wha does Diva wish to tell me?" He asked again. "Go away," sniffled Diva. "The chances of that being what Diva wishes to tell me are minimal," retorted Pai before he vanished and then reappeared sitting next to Diva on the bench. "Diva deserves more than to be a hostage. The action I took in freeing Diva was the only way she would've came back to earth. It will break me knowing that Diva won't ever see me again." He continued. "Before I vanish for good, there is a human expression of love I wish to share with you." Pai said before suddenly taking Diva's mouth in his own. After a few seconds of shock, Diva allowed Pai's tongue to explore her mouth. Suddenly, Diva pulled away and began laughing. "What's wrong?" Pai asked her in his soft and soothing voice. "Your tongue tickles." Answered Diva. " I will give Diva the choice she souldv'e had the first time. You may come with me of your own accord if it is you're wish." Said Pai as he stared at his love longingly. "I can't," answered Diva sadly. "Not until my father agrees to let me go," she continued. "The chances of Diva's father understanding her leaving are suitable. I shall find him and accept his permission by force if necessarry." Answered Pai before he suddenly embraced Diva in a hug. "Tell me the location of said father," ordered Pai. "The city and state of New York in America." Answered Diva.


A/N: Oh! It looks like things are heating up a little. I'm open to suggestions for the next chapter. I wonder if her father should like or dislike Pai? Well, that's what feedback and reviews are for!

Pai: I think the authoress is trying to scare the readers into reviewing.

authoress: Maybe...
