The best of Purin and Tart
A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Special thanks to Kitty Kat K.O, crazy-golden-monkey, Kish's Kittie and Flower Fairy Princess who reviewed. I know that it isn't Christmas yet, but this idea came into my head and I just couldn't get it out. This chapter is mainly Purin and Tart, but with hints of Ryou x Ichigo x Kish, three way pairing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew, although I really really want to!!!!!
Chapter twoThe Christmas Ball
It was 24th of December 2007, and the café was a blur of excitement. Everybody was rushing around decorating the place, ready for the Christmas ball that night.
Ichigo was in the middle of the dance floor (basically the middle of the café, because all the tables and chairs had been put away) flirting with Ryou, who didn't seem to be listening.
Purin was dusting the huge stairs in the middle of the entrance, which had been built specially using the rich jerk's money. They were to come down at the end of the night.
Zakuro was in the kitchen with Keiichiro, going over who out of the Mew Mews was going to wear what, and what the food would look like, and how it would be arranged on the table. She was especially excited about what she had chosen for Purin to wear. The little blonde girl was going to look so adorable, that it was going to be hard for Tart to resist her. Zakuro smiled to herself, thinking about the expression on Tart's face when he realised it was Purin.
Retasu was writing out note cards for everyone, as speeches were to be made at the end of the night. And no one wanted to make a fool of themselves by saying something embarrassing or silly.
Minto wasn't doing anything. Mainly because she refused to get herself dirty, and because of the fact that her afternoon tea was due in a couple of minutes, and she was shouting at the other Mews to get a move on!!!
Masaya and Kish were decorating the floor. They covered the entire wall, so it was practically invisible, under all the tinsel, holly, mistletoe. You name it. There was huge Christmas tree in the corner of the room. The lights twinkled brightly. Kish smiled to himself. The night was going to be amazing, and the tree would look fabulous lit up in the dark.
Tart and Pai sat in the corner. They had not been given a job to do. So instead, they talked to each other about Purin and Retasu.
Once all of the café was finished, everybody returned to his or her homes to get ready. Ichigo wore a long, pink, strapless dress. With fur around the top, and a small pink bow in the corner, she looked the queen of the ballroom.
Minto was wearing an outfit that Zakuro had given her earlier. The angelic wings on the back of the dress complimented small frame, and made her look even more elegant.
Purin had decided what she was going to wear three times over. In the end, she picked a yellow jumpsuit, and a small cap to accessorize. Ichigo had helped her pick her outfit. And she loved it.
Retasu looked so beautiful in her long, green, haltered dress. The material was soft and wavy, much like her personality.
Zakuro looked most stunning of all. Being a model, she could decide on an outfit in the blink of an eye. The short dress was a deep violet, and the low-slung belt around her waist, in white, completed the look.
The boys all wore coats and ties. They all looked smart, but uncomfortable, in their shirts.
At quarter to seven exactly, all the Mews and the boys arrived at the café. They had to be their early, as they were hosting the ball. At the café they checked everything was in place for the night ahead. They went over their note cards, and congratulated Retasu on how well she had done on writing one for each of them. Everyone complimented on each other about how nice they looked. And the boys got the chance to undo the top button of their shirts, until the huge party began, in which they would have to do them back up again.
People started arriving at the door at twenty past seven, even though it wasn't supposed to start until half past. They had invited everyone they could think of to the ball. A photographer was there from the National Newspaper, as it was confirmed that the ball was going to be the biggest Christmas party of the year.
Purin and Tart were feeling unusually shy. They had never seen this many people in the café before. And it was quite a shock to them.
Purin whispered to Tart, "Do you think that Kish will get a kiss out of Ichigo by the time the night is over."
"Yes, I do. And I also know another person who will as well," Tart replied.
"Who?" Purin asked, eager to find out.
And with that Tart leaned in and kissed Purin sweetly on the lips.
"What was that for?" she said to him.
All he did was look up in reply. There above them were a few pieces of mistletoe, hanging on a sparkly piece of thread from the ceiling.
"That's why!" He answered her.
Purin looked at him strangely for a few seconds, and then she hugged him to death, (not literally, of course). So pleased that someone liked her in that way, and because of the facts that she had had her first kiss. They hugged for a while, then went over and sat in the corner to talk for a bit.
Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Kish was trying to get Ichigo to dance with him. She agreed, but only so it would shut him up. They danced for a few songs, and when a slow song came on, somebody came up behind Ichigo and said, may I have this dance. She turned around, and there stood Ryou. Ichigo looked at Kish, and Kish looked at Ichigo. "Go on then," he said, "I need a rest anyway."
They danced rather awkwardly at first. But after a bit, they both seemed to relax. Ichigo put her head on Ryou's shoulder, and closed her eyes. She was having great fun.
By the end of the ball, everybody was tired. The dancing had gone on late into the morning.
That day, when the national paper came out, their party was on the front page. And Purin and Tart nearly died when they saw the headline and the picture. The picture of them kissing was an adorable sight for passers by, and the headline which read PEOPLE FIND YOUNG LOVE AT CHRISTMAS PARTY, stood out on the paper. All the other Mews bought a copy, and the all said they were going to stick it up in their houses, as something to remember the party by.
Purin and Tart soon got over the newspaper situation, and had a lot of fun that Christmas day, opening all their presents, and having a right laugh.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed that. I have no ideas for any other chapters, so please leave any ideas you have in your reviews. I will update as soon as I can. But it will not be until next Wednesday and the earliest, as I am on a trip to Paris with my school. Please Review.
