I still don't own TMM, but wouldn't it be great if I did? Na, I'd probably ruin the series.

Ryou looked at the clock, it was 3:30, and Ananas should've been there by now. The bell jingled and he smiled, "Welcome, Ananas, to Café Mew Mew," he got up and bowed slightly to the teen who proceeded to blush.

"Look, you have a lot of explaining to do, so you'd best get started," she said.

"No, not yet, I'm only going to explain this once because it's a rather long story, and you have to find four others, you're lucky I have leads for you this time," she looked at him dumbfounded. He slid a portfolio to her, she opened it.

"Noah Clay, male, immigrated from U.S., student at," she paused and her eyes widened, "Kaisei Academy!? I can't go there! That's an all guy school!"

"All you have to do is wait for him outside the gates and ask for him, just wear a cute outfit and everyone will think you're his girlfriend," he shrugged. She was still in her school uniform, her hair in two pigtails tied with black ribbon. She looked at the bag in his hand, she had a feeling this would be a bad idea but she sighed and took the bag and he showed her to the dressing room.

She reemerged in a pair of black skinny jeans, and a pink short sleeved shirt that revealed her shoulders with little bows on them, and she had redone her make-up. She changed her hair and had little bun on her head, the rest hanging down, she put in extensions and placed white heels on. She put on a black and pink plaid coat, and a pink scarf, gloves, and beret.

"Wish me luck," she said, feeling incredibly uncomfortable in the outfit she was wearing.

"Trust me, you don't need it," Ryou said and provided her money for a taxi and a note with instructions on what to do. She thanked him and placed it in her coat pocket, then proceeded towards the road. She sighed and shifter uncomfortably in the seat as she told him where she was going and stayed silent, ignoring the man's questions.

She thanked the man and paid him at her stop, she got out and gasped at the sight of the large school. She took a deep breath and began asking around for Noah, it wasn't until the 13th person she finally got some semblance of an answer.

"Excuse me," she tapped someone on the shoulder, "have you seen Clay-kun, he said he'd meet me at the front gate but he's running behind," she said with a smile.

"Why should I tell you his whereabouts?" the boy asked, a smirk on his face, his arm crossed, receiving snickers from his friends.

"Because if he bails on me again he's not going to have a girlfriend anymore," she lied, coming across with anger while she was actually dying from embarrassment.

"Hmm, he's helping out Sensei Koyua, he'll be out in a minute," the arrogant boy said, "wouldn't want him to lose a beauty like you." They walked away after a moment, muttering about their disbelief they hadn't been told, and how hot she was. She blushed and waited outside the building for a few minutes, looked at the picture Ryou had provided for her and scanned the boys coming out. And he was unmistakable, his American heritage showing.

She walked up to him, "Konnichiwa, Clay-san," she smiled at him.

He eyed her oddly, "Um, not to be rude, but I don't think we've met before, would you like to explain how you know me?"

She giggled, "Sure, you're special," she had to get on her tip toes to whisper in his ear flirtatiously. He shoved her away, glaring at her, waiting for an explanation. She sighed, this was to be used as a last resort, but Ryou had instructed her to do it if necessary. She got on her tiptoes again and moved her mouth inches from his, "You're a mew mew," his face was flushing, she heard a pop and saw ears and a tail pop out, she produced a hat that covered the ears, and then stood behind him to hide his tail, "They won't go away unless you come with me," she said as she had been told to.

"Fine," he grumbled and she called Ryou.

"I got him, Shirogane-san," she said, and paused for a moment, "you're gonna get an earful for this," she mumbled and shut her phone. She turned to him, "I'm really sorry about this, I was acting on orders. You'll probably understand when you meet Shirogane."

"Acting on order- what the hel-I thought you were trying to seduc-and when these things popped out-" he sputtered angrily.

"Look, I didn't want to do this! Excuse me for doing what I was told to help the planet!"

"What the hell does helping the planet have to do with it?" he asked as Ryou pulled up.

"Hey, stop harassing Ottosson-chan," Ryou said from the window of the car. Ananas ushered him into the car and got in the front passenger seat next to Ryou.

"I AM NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER DOING THAT AGAIN!!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW EMBARRASSING THAT WAS TO WALK UP TO COMPLETE STRANGER AND HAVE TO TRY TO SEDUCE THEM WHEN YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HAD YOUR FIRST KISS?!??!?!" she screamed at the older man, then realized the last thing she said and added, "EH! THAT'S SO EMBARASSING!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST TOLD YOU I'VE NEVER HAD MY FIRST KISS!!!!" she was dying of embarrassment, her horns and tail had popped out long ago and she curled up in a ball.

"I'm sorry, Ottosson, I won't ask it again, Clay-san can get the next mew," he said, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder. She pushed it away harshly.

"It's your fault I had to do this! It's your fault I can't lead a normal live! It's your fault I had to try to seduce a stranger! And you won't even explain to me why! You don't even care and you continue to act like a pedophile!" she was upset and now on the brink of tears. Ryou sighed, this is what he had been afraid of, the hell had already begun on her first day as a mew.


"It's strange, we haven't had any mew mew interference," Koakov muttered.

"What was that?" Recruse asked bored, in an uninterested tone.

"Nothing, we've gotten a feel for the area, and the warehouse is set up, we ought to attack, I don't get the others need for longer peace, we've been waiting long enough, and this isn't going to happen overnight. We ought to attack swiftly!"

"All we want is to get settled in the neighborhood, if you remember it was your idea to register in schools, so that's why we need to settle. Shouldn't you looking for a job?" she asked him.

"Well, yes, but I will, and speaking of school, what are you doing home? It's Tuesday, and noon," he asked.

"It's Saturday, Sergeant, the others are just out looking around some more," Recruse replied.

"Why aren't you with them?" he asked, she looked at him oddly.

"What's there for me to see?" she asked tartly, during a battle to determine the last person to go on the mission to Earth she had lost her eyesight, her once ice blue eyes were now a clouded grey. But she had won against a veteran, General Kisshu Dracoblade, it had cost her her eyes, but this mission was worth it. Her companions weren't, but the cause she fought for was one worth fighting for, worth dying for.

She was generally the peacemaker between her companions when a quarrel or misunderstanding broke out she was levelheaded about it, because her new outlook on the world allowed a different mentality. She appeared cold and distant, but that was really just a front, and it allowed her to be a neutral peacemaker.

She sighed, she had her regrets, and the tournament wasn't one of them, but not seeing the crippling move that lost her sight forever was one. And she wanted a better relationship with her companions, but everything was still new. Apart from that, she was sick of not being treated fairly because she couldn't see, they treated her like she was incompetent and incapable of doing anything.

Makoto, brilliant as he was, didn't see that her level headedness made her a great person to ask for an opinion. Hibiki didn't think anyone was as capable as he and therefore stayed in his room trying to plan some attack they would never use. Ithaca, she shuddered, he was just an ass, and she wanted nothing to do with him. Coventry was so good and devoted it was painful, he always preached that they didn't care but she knew they all did, they wouldn't be there if they didn't believe in the cause, he just didn't get it. Saeka, Recruse saw potential in her for a friend, if only she would come out of her shell a bit. Alpha wasn't horrid either, she was over confident in her own abilities and has an inflated opinion of herself, but it wasn't unbearable.

Recruse sighed, they were all out having fun, and she was home, she had told them she was glad to, but she didn't want to have to be guided and she could float without her eyes, but walking was a different matter entirely. She was unused to it to begin with, and doing so without sight was nearly impossible.

"Recruse, are you ok?" Koakov asked her, seeing as how she had missed his whole rant on how she needed to make more of an effort to associate with the others.

"Yeah, just thinking," she got up and used her shadow to guide her to her room. That was another thing that bothered people, the shadow control; they immediately thought "Oh My God! Black Magic!" but she had never used it before the accident, and never sought the power out. But the accident provided a need to use it, when she took over a shadow she spoke to it, and the shadow directed her where to go, it required a lot of concentration, which is why she couldn't walk and control them to see at the same time. She was tired, she decided to take a nap until the others returned.


Okay, so this was another Ananas chapter, but she needed proper introducing, the next chapter will be a Noah and Kota chapter. I'm glad Recruse got a chance to shine because she was didn't have a lot of light shed on her last chapter. Well, please review XD
