Here's the next chapter of this! Sorry I took so long to finish this! Anyway, enjoy!

In one room, Mint and Zakuro were hiding inside a room as Mint peeked out to see an angry room walk right past them. Zakuro gulped as she said, "I can't believe we went along with Ichigo's dumb plan!"

"It's partially the alien's fault, too..." Mint muttered. "But still, I guess we kind of took it too far..."

"I just hope the others are okay..." Zakuro said in concern as she peeked out.

Taruto, Pai and Kisshu, having separated from the group, dove in three pots as the three took deep breaths in hoping Ryou wouldn't notice.

"You think Ryou won't notice us hiding inside these pots?" Taruto asked out loudly.

"I don't know..." Kisshu said out loud. "But the best thing we can do is hope, right?"

"Right, but I don't think we should be talking out loud." Pai said loudly.

"Why?" Taruto and Kisshu asked.

"Because Ryou is looking inside my pot and I'm looking right at his face as I'm talking." Pai said, looking up with a look that expressed shock and worry.

Taruto and Kisshu looked out of their pots as their eyes popped, cartoonishly to see Ryou pulling Pai out by the ears. Ryou smirked. "Got you!"

All of a sudden, a brick hit Ryou right in the face as Ryou fell right down, letting go of Pai. The three turned to see Ichigo nodding as Lettuce and Pudding were motioning for the three aliens to come on.

"I knew you liked me, Koneko-chan!" Kisshu smiled as he and Taruto joined them.

"Don't push your luck!" Ichigo yelled at Kisshu as Pai came out to the room with them as Ryou recovered. Ryou turned with a murderous glare as the six yelped and started to run, Ryou giving chase.

The chase resumed by going through multiple doors ala the Scooby-Doo-esque style for at least an hour before...

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

The clock on the wall started to ding as Pudding, Lettuce, Ichigo, Kisshu, Pai and Taruto stopped to look at the clock to see both hands pointing at the twelve. Pudding smiled as Ryou came over and started pulling confetti out of her pockets, yelling, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Ryou blinked in confusion as Ichigo, Lettuce, Kisshu, Pai and Taruto started to join Pudding in the celebrations. "HOORAY! HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Everyone then joined hands as they all started singing two songs, the Mew Mews singing 'Beethoven's Ninth Symphony' and the aliens singing 'Auld Lang Syne'... except for Ryou, who just stared with an unamused expression. "Excuse me, but you do realize the time is NOON, indicated by the daylight in the windows?"

The six who joined hands looked out the window turned to see that it was, indeed, daytime.

"Also, it's the middle of May." Ryou frowned. "Who are you people fooling?"

The three aliens had their ears lowered as Kisshu said, "Crap."

"Oh Marcie..." Pudding smiled nervously. "RUN AGAIN!"

The six didn't need told twice as they started running again, with Ryou giving chase.

And so the chase resumed as they kept running around as Pai quickly ran inside the girl's restroom... he paused as he looked around.

Pudding opened up the door and ran into the basement... Ryou was about to follow behind, when all of a sudden, she ran out as Ryou blinked in confusion. Pudding poked her head back as she said to Ryou, "Don't go down there, it's dark!"

Pudding then ran off as Ryou frowned. "Was that a reference to something, because I don't get it!"

Ryou shook his head as he resumed the chase... he then noticed the room he hadn't open yet and went over to it as he opened it... only to stop to see Pai getting dressed up in women's clothing.

Pai looked over, covered himself and screamed.

Ryou, not amused, said, "I knew it all along, Pai!"

"What?" Lettuce said as she peeked over and squeaked as she blushed, turning around. "OH MY GOSH!"

Pai, realizing it didn't work on Ryou, smiled nervously as he started to back away. He then ditched the women's clothing and started running out as he joined back with the six.

"Come on, Ryou, give us a break!" Ichigo called as Ryou gave chase. "It's not OUR fault your money got lifted by tax collectors!"

"This isn't about the money anymore! This is about the crap you put me through!" Ryou growled as the six ran right into the same room where Mint and Zakuro were as the two yelped.

"Come on, Ryou, we're sorry!" Zakuro said in worry.

"We'll get rid of everything and bring Café Mew Mew back to the way it was! We'll do anything!" Mint begged.

Ryou smiled eagerly as he looked ready to grab someone. The Mew Mews and aliens gulped.

The Mew Mews and aliens, the latter now wearing girlish outfits, were seen throwing out everything they added to Café Mew Mew in the first place as Mint grumbled, "I hate you people..."

"Well, I guess in a way, we kind of deserve it..." Kisshu sighed. "At least Ryou was kind enough not to kill us."

"Yeah, let's just put this little episode behind us..." Pudding sighed.

"Speak for yourself!" Ichigo frowned. "Thanks to our shenanigans, now we have to work overtime! This is going to be boring..."

"Yeah... I guess I'll have to cancel the babysitting gig I planned for Café Mew Mew..." Pudding sighed.

"What babysitting gig?" Mint and Zakuro asked, every one turning to her.

Before Pudding could say anything, they heard a doorbell ringing as Ryou came out, frowning. "Oh, what now?"

Ryou opened the door as he saw the telegram man standing at his door. "Special delivery from Kitten Sitters to Café Mew Mew!"

The man then put a small blue box right in Ryou's hands as everyone looked at it in curiosity.

The box then popped open as a lot of black and white Siamese kittens looked out and stared at the group... as they all said in Bucky Katt's voice, "Sweet cracker sandwich!"

The kittens then started hopping out of the box and getting on everybody's head and scratching up the furniture in Café Mew Mew as Pudding turned. "I've been a ba-a-a-a-ad goil!"

Pudding smiled as the place started getting overrun with Siamese kittens.
