Wesley got up early the next morning and went to check on Mark he knock on the door but there was no answer.
Thinking that he was still probably asleep he open up the door peeked into the room to see... nothing.
Wesley: Mark? where did he go Elliot.
Meanwhile Elliot just woke up and heard Wesley calling him wondering what was going on he got up and went out of his room to see what Wesley want.
Elliot: Wesley what's the matter is in it a little early to be yelling?
Wesley: Mark he's gone.
Elliot: What are you sure?
Wesley: Yes I am he not in the room I don't know if he's anywhere else in the cafe.
Elliot: Why don't we check and see if he is or not I'm sure he didn't run off again.
Wesley: And if he did?
Elliot: If he did he's an idiotandwhy would he do that he's fine here no one would know he's here.
Wesley: Yes that true but maybe he felt like we were going to rat him out of something.
Elliot: Now why would we do that after we said we would help him out of this mess that he made in the first place.
Wesley: Well that Deep Blue made Mark said he didn't have control over his body and that Deep Blue made him run away.
Elliot; Now you really don't believe that do you?
Wesley: What do you mean? Of course I do.
Elliot: Oh come on Wesley Deep Blue probably made him leave but Mark made himself run away there was no reason for Deep Blue to make Mark run away Mark subconsciously wanted to run away and then blame Deep Blue for it not realizing that it was him.
Wesley: Do you really believe that?
Elliot: Of course I do it's logic after all.
Wesley: Why would he run away though?
Elliot: I don't know but I do know it's Mark's fault he is in this mess not be cuz Deep Blue made him.
Elliot and Wesley went downstairs to see if Mark was down there or not and after checking the rest of the cafe they concluded that he was not in the cafe and that he had ran off.
Elliot: Idiot!
Meanwhile somewhere else in the park Mark was asleep on the ground... drooling ( N/A He's drooling he's drooling he's drooling down the river) when two shadowy figures stood over him and bent over him and reach out to start shaking him awake.
Boy: Mark Mark come on wake up your drooling wake up... Ug he's out of it got any ideas.
Second Boy: Yeah I do stand back.
Boy: Wait what are you going to do to him?
Second Boy; To him nothing.
Boy Ok what are you going to do to wake him up.
Second Boy: "Snickering" I'm going to burp his ear!
Mark had been half awake for a while now and after hearing this conversation he shot his eye's open and sat up rubbing his eye's.
He look up and saw a boy with wavy shoulder length black hair and blue eye's and a pale skin tone who was probably around his height ( so around 5'7").
Mark: Xavier what are you doing here?
Xavier: I was going to ask the same thing or more importantly why are you sleeping on the ground outside in the park?
Second Boy: And drooling all over your self.
Mark turned his attention to the other person standing next to Xavier a boy with short spiky ginger hair and green eye's and a tan skin tone and around the same height as Mark and Xavier.
Mark: Danny sorry I didn't see you standing there... Wait were you the one I heard saying you were going to burp in my ear?
Danny: Yup (Smiling).
Xavier: You sound proud of your self.
Danny: Yeah cuz I am.
(Silents)
Danny: What that's a great to wake up a person that's how I wake up my mom some times... Of course I usually get grounded after that for like a day or two you thank she would more appreciated then that.
Mark: (Silent just looking at him)
Xavier: Idiot. Ok Mark how bout you answer my question now whats going on and why are sleeping in the park?
Danny: Yeah and why were the Police looking for you your dad is really worried about you.
Mark: How do you know that?
Xavier: We know that be cuz when the police came by the school yesterday your dad was with them he was inside the school questioning us.
Danny: Yeah and your mom called us the other day asking if we knew where you were of course we told her no we didn't.
Xavier: Yeah and also yesterday towards the end of school we started to hear yelling outside so me and Danny went out to see what was going on.
Danny: And to mind and Xavier surprise we saw you running away from the Police... form the Police ARE YOU NUTS?
Xavier: OW Danny can you lower your voice.
Danny: Sorry.
Mark knew that he must cause some commotion but to hear that both Danny and Xavier saw him do that makes him wonder who else saw him how many people saw him did Ichigo saw him do that cuz if she did she's going to kill him yup definitely going kill him.
Mark: Oh boy who else saw me do this yesterday exactly?
Xavier: Well let's see most of the teachers did so did the student council and I saw some other students around so about half of the school.
Mark: Did Ichigo see it?
Danny: Oh yeah Ichigo saw and she look mad I swear her eye's were matching her hair all I saw was a fiery red look in her eyes.
Mark: Oh boy she going to kill me I just know it.
Danny: Why would Ichigo kill you? She loves you.
Xavier: Be cuz she probably knows what's going on and is trying to help him and after seeing that I would kill him too if I were in her shoes.
Mark: Plus I was upset the other night and she calm me down and she lie to her parents for me and lie to my dad and the police and I promise her I would fix this but I screwed it up by running away from the police she has every right to kill me.
Danny: Wow
Xavier: Mark what's going on with you. .
Mark: Nothing is just "Sigh".
Xavier: is everything alright.
Mark: Yeah everything is alright is just complicated you guys wouldn't understand.
Danny: You know you don't act like this if there's something wrong you can tell us no matter how complicated it is.
Xavier: Yeah Mark we're your friends and that's what friends are for.
Mark look at both of them and was very thankful for having such good friends.
Mark: Ok can we go some were to get something to eat and I'll explain everything I promise.
Danny: Sure I thank between me and Xavier we can get something to eat at McDonald's.
Xavier: Hay why do I have to give up my money.
Danny: Be cuz I only have 10$ to my name.
Xavier: Well I only have 15$ to my name what about you Mark?
Mark; Me oh well I only have 2$ to my name.
Danny: Wow that's sad ok so we got 2 and 10 and 15 that's um?
Xavier: That's 27$ Danny.
Danny: I knew that.
Mark: No you didn't you hate math.
Danny: Well yeah who doesn't hate math.
Xavier: Ok let's go.
And what that the three went on their way went on their way.
Meanwhile on the other side of Tokyo a Police Officer was looking around what used to be a Battleground from the looks of it the cobblestones were all torn up from the ground and there was even blood on the floor and there was scorch marks on the floor as well and glass everywhere like it broke from a giant window the Officer couldn't make heads of tails of it he couldn't figure out what happened here but for the time being ignored it and continue on his search for what it look like it was very important to him like it would save his life or something.
Aha he said finally found whatever he was looking for he dug up a small blue bag he open it up and found some boys clothes in it that was it nothing else but he look so happy to find the bag but before he got to happy "RING RING" he was getting a call so he paused what he was doing for a minute to pick up his phone.
Hello Hatori Aoyama speaking here may i ask who's calling oh it you what about him did you fine a clue or- what where did you fine him Ok where are you now does he know you called me uh Ok just stay there I'm on my way yes thank you.
With that he ended the call and went back to a Police cruiser inside was a older looking man looking very he said in a scruffy voice.
Hatori: I've found something Chief.
The Chief: What exactly did you find?
Hatori: I found Marks duffle bag see he said as he held up the bag.
The Chief: That's it.
Hatori: Well yes but it's a good sign.
The Chief: How it just a bag it doesn't tell us where he is.
Hatori: True too you it's just a bag but to me it's not.
The Chief: It's not?
Hatori: No it's not I think I can pinpoint his location with this.
The Chief: You think? Well let me know when you're sure Ok.
Hatori: Ok... I know were he is.
The Chief: That fast how do you know already?
Hatori: I told you it's not just a bag to me.
The Chief: Alright Mr smart-pants where is he.
Hatori: He's at McDonald's on the other side of town the one near the mall.
The Chief: How do you know that?
Hatori: My gut and the bag now let's go.
The Chief: Fine.
And with that they were on there way.
Meanwhile at Cafe Mew Mew you can see redhead girl in the distance running at least 100 miles an hour with fire in her eye's heading straight for Cafe Mew Mew.
Ichigo: MARK where are you I know your here.
Elliot: Ichigo must you yell so loud.
Ichigo: Shut up Elliot.
Elliot: Someone's tender!
Wesley: Ichigo what's wrong?
Ichigo Mark he... well you see "Sigh".
Elliot: We know that he ran away.
Ichigo: Oh you do ok well you see I was getting out of school when I herd yelling and went outside to see what was going on and I see Mark running away from some Police Officers and they were chasing him.
Wesley: Yeah we know some Police Officers came by the Cafe yesterday asking for him.
Ichigo: Yeah a bunch of officers were at the school yesterday questioning everyone which is how they saw Mark.
Elliot: Why were there so much Police Officers at your school I mean is he part of a most wanted list or something? ( He said as he take a sip of water)
Ichigo: Well you see his dad is Captain Hatori Aoyama... UGH ELLIOT.
Elliot had spit out his water when Ichigo had said Mark's father was a Police Officer of course he had spit out his water while he was in front of her.
Elliot: His dad is a Officer we are so dead.
Ichigo: Why?
Elliot: Be cuz he is going keep questioning us and coming around and search the cafe and he can do that as long he has a search warrant and they will eventually find the secret lab and find out about the Mew Project this is not good we got to talk Mark in to going home.
Ichigo: Yeah but Elliot what is he going to tell his parents?
Wesley: Well we can make up something to satisfied his parents.
Ichigo: Ok well where is Mark anyway?
Elliot: Uh Wesley do you want to take this one?
Wesley: Well you see Mark is not in the Cafe right now.
Ichigo: Where is he then?
Wesley: We don't know.
Ichigo: What do mean you don't know where he is.
Elliot: The idiot ran off again.
Ichigo: WHAT!
Wesley: We woke up this morning and he was gone we don't what could have happened.
Ichigo Whispering: He's starting to get sick of being perfect all the time.
Elliot: What?
Ichigo: Nothing.
Elliot: No what did you say about him sick of being perfect?
Ichigo: It's nothing really.
Elliot: Listen Ichigo if Mark gets caught and we are nearby we all get in trouble Wesley might even get arrested for harboring a runaway so spill it.
Ichigo: "Sigh" ever since Mark was adopted he felt like he had to be the perfect child.
Wesley: Why did he feel like he had to be "The Perfect Child"?
Ichigo: Be cuz he said he herd his parents ask for the perfect child and he was so desperate to be adopted he decided to act like the perfect child and he felt like he couldn't drop the act so he has always act like he was perfect he was always afraid that his parents would find out and not love him anymore and give him up he didn't want to go back to the orphanage.
Elliot (in a low voice): And in public?
Ichigo: He kept up the act out in public be cuz he wanted to people to like him see the nuns that ran the orphanage always told him he was a freak and no one would like him nor love him and the kids would always bully him and no one did anything about it even now his friends the other kids at school they don't know he's adopted he's to scared to tell anyone it took a lot of nerves for him just to tell me I know it sounds like I'm making up excuses for him but you think he's happy but he's miserable inside and I think he's starting to sick of it so maybe it's his way of acting out.
For a moment they all just stand there in silence realizing how lucky they are not having to worry about acting like someone there not and were lucky to have other people just accept them for them and not to worry about to make sure you act... perfect so every one would like you they really are lucky.
Elliot: I think it's stupid.
Wesley: Elliot.
Elliot: No I think it's stupid for a parent not to love their child naturally if they wanted a child so badly then they accept the one they adopted and not leave their child wondering if their loved.
Ichigo: So then you understand why Mark acts the way he does.
Elliot: Yeah I understand but it doesn't mean I approve of his methods of how to deal with this.
Ichigo: I understand that but are you going to help him too or is it just going to be me?
Elliot: Yeah i'll help him what about you Wesley?
Wesley: Yeah i'll help to but first things first before we can help Mark we need to find him.
Ichigo: Right when was the last time you saw him?
Wesley: Last night when we all went to bed.
Elliot: Yeah and the idiot was gone in the morning.
Wesley: We don't know what happened to him.
Ichigo: Do you think he ran off again?
Wesley: Maybe we don't exactly know yet.
Elliot: Why don't we use the supercomputer to track him.
Ichigo: How on Earth are you going to track him?
Wesley: We can get a ping on his phone and we can know his whereabouts.
Ichigo: Oh wait you can't.
Elliot: I can.
Ichigo: No you can't.
Elliot: Why not?
Ichigo: Mark left his phone at home... You know so his dad wouldn't track him.
Elliot: I got that well any other ideas.
Wesley: No we need to stop.
Ichigo: What we can't stop we got to help him.
Wesley: No we don't.
Ichigo: Wesley how can you say that?
Elliot:Wesley we promise we would help now what's going on?
Wesley: I just checked the supercomputer and a Police report just came through and two Officers are hot on the trail of a certain Runaway.
Elliot: Is it the idiot.
Wesley: Well I'm thinking so since one of the Officers is one Captain Hatori Aoyama.
Ichigo: So then we leave it up to the Police?
Wesley: It might be the best thing to do Ichigo.
Ichigo: Yeah I know but will Mark be ok?
Wesley: He will be fine especially if his dad is looking for him all we can do now is wait if anything comes up we will help as much as we can but for right now let's not mess with a Police investigation ok.
Ichigo: Ok.
Meanwhile Mark and his friends went to a McDonald's and he start to explain why he ran away of course he was trying to think up some story to tell his friends.
Xavier: So that's why you ran away.
Mark: Yup.
Danny; And that's the truth?
Mark: Yup that's the truth.
Xavier: Right so you ran away be cuz you ate some bad fish and it make you hallucinate about fish people attacking you? (N/A I never said it was a good excuse)
Mark: That's right that's the reason.
Xavier:Right so were you on something like I don't know um crack or were you drunk something?
Mark: No!
Danny: Who are you trying to convince Mark your parents or people at psych wards?
Mark: Very funny so you guys don't believe me?
Danny: You actually have to ask?
Mark: "Sigh"
Xavier: Mark seriously what's going on you are lying to us now and we are just trying to help you.
Mark: I know I am being serious it's just... "Sigh"
Danny: It's just what are you and your parents having trouble?
Mark: No were fine.
Xavier: Then what is it are you in any trouble?
Mark: No I'm fine.
Danny: Then did you and your parents get in fight or something.
Xavier: Or is someone threatening you about something?
Danny: Yeah or were you unhappy at home... something?
Mark: No no no ever thing is fine is swear.
Xavier: Then what is it what's wrong Mark?
Danny: Yeah we just want to help.
Xavier: Yeah so please just tell us what's wrong and maybe we can help.
Mark: I know you guys are trying to help me but there is nothing to do everything is fine.
Danny: If everything is fine then why did you ran away?
At this point Mark was out of excuses so he excuse himself from the table to get some more soda and to think of some more excuses and this time some good one's.
Xavier: So this is not how I thought it would go.
Danny: Yeah I know I thought it would go smoother than this but he he hasn't budged at all.
Xavier: I know I don't know what else to do I gust we just leave it up to his dad now.
Danny: Are you sure it was a good idea to call the Police though?
Xavier: Yeah you heard them the other day if we see Mark at any point to call the Police and at this point it's are only option.
Danny: Yeah I know but it still feels wrong I mean what if Mark gets mad at us he might think we betrayed him.
Xavier: I know but it's not like we called right away we waited until we got here they should be here soon.
Danny: There they are.
Just then a Police cruiser puled up to the restaurant with two Officers in it the Police Chief himself Chief Charlie Potter and his partner Captain Hatori Aoyama.
Danny: They're not moving.
Xavier: They're' probably waiting for Mark to come out.
Meanwhile Mark was trying to come up with a good excuse to tell his friends when he passed by the door and saw the cruiser and went back to the table.
And outside The Chief and Hatori were outside arguing.
The Chief: But how did you know he was here and don't tell me your gut and that stupid bag.
Hatori: Ok father's instincts.
The Chief:... FATHER'S DON'T HAVE INSTINCTS.
Hatori: Yes they do people talk about it all the time.
The Chief: No they don't that's mother's instincts your thanking about you butthead.
Hatori: I am not a butthead you on the other hand.
When Hatori look over to The Chief he look angry like if you call me a butthead your fired look.
Hatori: Are not a butthead either the others are but not you... Sir.
The Chief: That what I thought.
After the two got done arguing they got out of the car and went inside.
Meanwhile inside.
Xavier: Ok now there coming in.
Danny; Ok then what were they doing before.
Xavier: I don't know.
Danny: I guess they were doing weird grown up stuff.
Xavier: Weird grown up stuff?
Danny: Yeah.
Xavier: Like what?
Danny: I don't know weird stuff.
Xavier: Idiot.
Danny: Moron.
Xavier: Pea brain.
Danny: Thunderhead.
Xavier: Thunderhead you have been watching way too much Harry Potter.
Danny: I have not and if I had can you blame me Snape is the best character after all.
Xavier: Shut up.
Danny: No you shut up.
Xavier: No I mean shut up Mark is coming back.
Mark hurried back over to the table to hide and tell Danny and Xavier about his dad.
Mark: My dad's here.
Xavier: Really i didn't notice right Danny?
Danny: Hm yeah I didn't know either wow look at that.
Xavier: Yeah it looks like your dad and The Chief are arguing oh boy.
Danny: I wonder what there arguing about?
Mark: I don't know but I don't care I got to go.
Xavier: Mark wait don't go yet.
Mark: Why? I got to get out of here.
Xavier: I know but uh don't you want dessert?
Mark: Dessert?
Danny: Yeah don't you know dessert... Is the most important meal of the day.
Xavier; Yeah it is so you should have some since you haven't eaten is 2 days.
Mark: ... You know you guys are horrible liars.
Danny: Us lie how insulting really you should be ashamed of yourself you should-
Xavier: Danny knock it off.
Mark: You guys call them didn't you?
Xavier: Mark I'm sorry but we had no choice.
Danny: Yeah your dad is worry sick about you so is your mom.
Xavier: I know you going to be mad at us for a while but I know we did the right thing.
Mark: Whatever I got to go.
Xavier: Mark wait.
Danny and Xavier started to go after Mark but when Mark started running to the door he failed to notice a big figure in the doorway which he ran into.
OW said Mark he look up to see what he ran into and was very startled to see what he did ran into.
Mark: Chief Potter how are you doing?
The Chief: Fine how are you?
Mark: Fine what are you up too?
The Chief: Nothing just you know chasing a certain Runaway Mark.
Mark: Oh well good luck with that bye.
Mark tried to run off but The Chief grab him by his collar so he fell back down on the floor.
Xavier: Chief Potter hello is Mark's dad here too?
The Chief: Yes he is some how he know Mark was here.
Mark: They called him that's how.
The Chief: I knew it! It wasn't because of that stupid bag.
Danny: What?
The Chief: Nevermind well Mark let's go see your father he is outside waiting come on.
Chief Potter and Mark walk outside to the Police cruiser were his father was waiting when he saw Mark he went over and gave him a big hug.
Hatori: Mark thank goodness you're okay me and your mother were so worried we didn't know what happen to you are you Ok are you hurt.
Mark:No.
Hatori: Well Ok let's go home.
All three of them got in to the car and drove off while in the car Mark was trying to figure out why he was not happy.
Mark's Thoughts: I got caught it's over now I'm going home so why is I am not happy I don't understand what's going with me I ran away form the Police yesterday I lied to Danny and Xavier... But what did I lied to them about exactly? I mean I know I lied to them about the whole Deep Blue thing and how he was the one who made me run away... Right? Danny and Xavier ask me if everything was ok with my parents I said yes but to tell the truth no everything is not ok but why? I know I am a little tired of some things but still unless It could be couldn't it... Makes sense though it explains everything.
All the sudden the car jolted when it stop Mark then notice where they stop it was his house as him and his dad got out of the car and starting to walk up to the door Mark's final thoughts were.
Mark Thoughts: I can't believe I didn't realize this before Deep Blue didn't make me run away I ran away by my self I ran away be cuz I was sick of being perfect and I didn't realize it but I am tired of the act and I need to stop it now!
