Okay, from now on, Pudding won't talk in third person anymore. Enjoy!

"I'm going now, Ryou!" Lettuce quickly changed into her regular clothes and walked, uh, I mean ran, out the door. Ichigo looked at her in confusion. "Why is she in such a hurry?" she asked no one in particular.


"Lettuce onee-chan!" Lettuce looked at Iruka, the girl who helped her swim. "Hi there, Iruka. Why did you want me here?" she asked. Iruka pointed toward the horizon. "I saw something glowing out in the sea," she said. "Can you check it out?" Lettuce nodded and took out her Power Pendant. It was okay for her to transform in front of Iruka, since she already knows she's a Mew.

"I want to go too!" Iruka yelled. She pointed to some scuba gear. "Okay, you can go," Lettuce replied. "But be careful."


"Have you seen Lettuce yet?" Ichigo asked Mint while they were walking home. "I haven't," Mint replied. "Did you check the library?" Ichigo rolled her eyes. "Checked there." Mint looked at Ichigo in surprise. "Didn't expect that from a bookworm like her," she said. Before they could say anything else, Pudding ran between them, pushing them aside.

"Pudding, what's the rush?" Ichigo asked. "Lettuce onee-chan is at the beach," Pudding replied. "I want to go too!"


"Is that it?" Iruka pointed to a small crystal. Lettuce thought it looked familiar. She recognized the shape. "A shard!" she exclaimed. Her Pendant was glowing. She lunged for it, but something stopped her.

"The Blue Shard is mine." It was Pai. He sent an eel-like Chimera Animal to attack. It sent several shock waves to attack. Iruka tried to join the fight. "Iruka, NO!" Iruka was badly electrocuted.

Lettuce then remembered the shard. This time, she got it. Her legs glowed and transformed into a tail. She then called on her Castanets. "Ribbon... Lettuce Rush!" As expected, the shard changed the attack. The usual water pulses were replaced with ice, which froze both Pai and the Chimera Animal.

"Iruka!" Lettuce swan toward her friend, and realized her oxygen tank was destroyed. She hugged her tight, and covered her with the aura that helps her breath. "We should go back to shore," Lettuce said to the still unconscious Iruka.


Pai teleported out of the ice block. He came face to face with Tokima. "You couldn't get it, could you?" Pai nodded. "And Mew Lettuce got instead, right?" Again, Pai nodded. How does Tokima know all this? "It's my power," Tomika replied. Pai remembered that Tomika could read minds. He doesn't do it a lot, so the other aliens usually forget. Pai found an excuse to escape. "I've been locked up in an ice block. I'm going to warm up."


"Lettuce onee-chan!" This time, it was Pudding. Ichigo and Mint were with her. Lettuce smiled and showed them the shard. Something strange happened. Her shard and Pudding's shard seemed to be attracted to one another. "We better show this to Ryou..."
