Mew Angel
Chapter 3
Angel, Ichigo and their friends Megan and Mimi (A/N: Forgot their names in Tokyo Mew Mew) were running to get to school since they were close to being late for school. Angel, Megan, and Mimi were ahead of Ichigo as Ichigo flipped up high into the air to avoid getting hit by an incoming car. The four girls managed to get to their class on time, and it was now afterschool as the school gymnastics team asked Ichigo to be on the team. Ichigo refused, but they forced her to wear a leotard, which made her change her mind.
'Maybe I should keep an eye on Ichigo since she only did that flip because of her mew mew powers, and won't be able to handle the stress of being a gymnast.' Angel thought to herself as she approached the team captain, Mary Lou.
"Mary Lou, Ichigo might need me to support her on the team, so maybe I should keep an eye on her during practice okay?" Angel said as Mary Lou gave her a stern look.
"I'm sorry, but you can only be around during our practice unless you're on the team. You're going to have to show us a gymnastics move that's good enough to give you a spot on the team." Mary Lou said as Angel just shrugged. "Does that mean you have a move, or you don't?"
"I don't have a move that might impress you Mary Lou." Angel said as she continued before Mary Lou was gonna say something. "But I do have a routine that will. It's a routine that I've been practicing when I was a gymnast back where I used to live."
"Well come to the gymnasium right now, and we'll have a leotard prepared for you to wear." Mary Lou said as Angel shook her head. "But you can't perform your routine in your uniform or else it'll be difficult to do it."
"I know that Mary Lou." Angel said as she unbuttoned her uniform blouse to reveal her light blue leotard with white sleeves. "I already have my own leotard on."
"You were a leotard underneath your clothes?" Ichigo said as Angel nodded her head and buttoned up her blouse again. "Kinda strange if you ask me."
"Well I practice during my free time so I can get better at my abilities for certain reasons Ichigo." Angel said as Ichigo knew that Angel's "certain reason" must involve her cat abilities.
Ichigo and the gymnastics team where watching from the sidelines as Angel stood on the middle of the balance beam with her leotard on. Angel flipped back and stood on a handstand as she stuck up her left arm to the side to make her right arm as her only support. Angel returned her arm to its previous position as she pushed off the balance beam and landed on her feet on the balance beam.
"I can see that you have quite the upper body strength and the ability to balance yourself, but that won't get you on the team." Mary Lou said as Angel got off the balance beam and walked up to were she had enough space around her.
"I never said that was my routine. This is part my routine that I mentioned earlier." Angel said as she started to do her routine.
Angel started off with a round off switching to a triple back flip as she leaped forward with a triple mid-air summer salt and landed on her feet with her arms out to the sides.
"Impressive moves Angel! You made the school gymnastics team!" Mary Lou said as Angel walked over to where her stuff was laid. "Where are you going?"
"Look, I love to stay for practice, but I have to be somewhere right now. See ya." Angel said as she caught the blue jacket Mary Lou tossed over to her.
"You'll be needing a sweat jacket to represent the school team you're on, but we kinda ran out of sweat pants unfortunately." Mary Lou said as Angel pulled out a black skirt from out of her backpack and wore it over her leotard along with the sweat jacket Mary Lou gave her.
"Don't worry. I had an extra skirt I was planning to wear later for my private practice, but I guess now would be a good time to wear it." Angel said as she started to leave the gymnasium. "Good luck Ichigo. You might need it."
Angel approached Café Mew Mew and walked inside as she noticed Ryou standing in the back of the room with a white present under his arm.
'Looks like Ryou already knows that I'll be working here.' Angel thought as she was about to walk up to Ryou until Ryou started walking up to her. 'Guess he already saw me come in. I hope he hasn't recognized who I really am.'
"You must be Angel right?" Ryou said as Angel nodded her head as he handed her the white present box. "Since you'll be working here, you're going to be needing this."
Angel opened up the white present box and saw a light blue waitress uniform inside it as she looked at Ryou.
"I think you'll like it since it's in your favorite color." Ryou said as Angel looked surprised that he knew that her favorite color was light blue. "Don't ask how I know that. Just go to the backroom and change so you can start working."
"Sure thing Ryou." Angel said as she walked past Ryou and started heading to the backroom to change, but not before looking at Ryou and said, "You know Ryou, you remind me of someone I knew when I was a little girl."
'Could she really be her? The girl I knew from my past?' Ryou thought to himself as Angel soon appeared in her light blue waitress uniform as he went somewhere to clear his thoughts.
Angel started working for almost an hour until Ichigo arrived all exhausted, and Angel knew why. Angel, Mint, Lettuce, and Keiichiro walked up to Ichigo to see if she was okay.
"Ichigo, what happened to you?" Lettuce said as Ichigo sat down on one of the café tables to relax as Lettuce looked at Angel. "Do you know what happened to Ichigo Angel?"
"The school gymnastics team saw Ichigo do some kind of flip by using her secret powers and got herself enrolled on the team. I needed to make sure she won't do anything strange, but the only way for me to keep an eye on her during her practice, I had to join the team too." Angel said as Ichigo kinda glared at her.
"You said you used to be a gymnast, but you didn't tell me how hard and exhausting gymnastics is!" Ichigo said as everyone looked at her.
"You were a gymnast?" Mint said as Angel nodded her head. "That explains for those gymnast moves you've been mostly doing."
"Why? You guys thought those moves came with my secret powers?" Angel said as Mint nodded her head. "Well I was able to do those gymnast moves before I became a mew mew."
"If you knew how much pain it takes to be a gymnast, why didn't you mention that to me sooner?" Ichigo said as Angel just shrugged her shoulders.
"I didn't know that it'll be painful for you Ichigo." Angel said as she started to head towards the stairs. "I'm going to let Ryou know that Ichigo and I are on the school gymnastics team, so he won't wonder why we won't be going to work for a while."
Angel started to head upstairs as she came across Ryou's room and knocked on the door, but didn't hear Ryou tell her to come in. Angel opened the door to see if he was inside and saw that he wasn't there as she stepped into Ryou's room.
"So this is Ryou's room huh? Not much occupied space if you ask me." Angel said as she noticed a picture of them when they were little kids as she held it in front of her. "So he still remembers me, but I don't know if he recognizes me through my recent change since then."
"What are you doing in here?" Angel quickly turned around and saw Ryou standing near the doorway without his shirt on, which made Angel slightly blush. "Well?"
"I was going to tell you that Ichigo and I were enrolled in our school gymnastics team, and might not be going to work for a while." Angel said as Ryou walked up to her and noticed that she was holding the picture of them when they were little.
"You remind me of that girl in that picture you're holding." Ryou said as Angel gave him the picture she was holding and started to head out of the room until Ryou grabbed a hold of her wrist. "Are you that girl in that picture?"
"What makes you say that Ryou?" Angel said as she tried to pull her wrist from Ryou's grip as her sleeve rose up to reveal a gold bracelet with a cat charm around her wrist, and Ryou noticed it.
"You both seem to be wearing the same bracelet." Ryou said as Angel realized that her bracelet was out in the open. "Was that given to you when you were a little girl?"
"It was, but I don't remember who gave it to me though." Angel lied so Ryou wouldn't know who she is as she pulled her wrist from Ryou's grasp ad left the room. 'I'm sorry Ryou, but I can't let you know that I'm the same girl in the picture.'
Angel ran to the backroom to change as she started to rush out the door while wearing her previous clothes from before until Ichigo stopped her from leaving by standing in the way.
"It's too early to end your shift Angel. Is there some kind of emergency?" Ichigo said as Angel shoved Ichigo out of her way and rushed out the door. "Something's wrong with Angel."
Angel was running through a nearby park until she stopped to catch her breath as she leaned against a nearby tree.
"I can't tell anyone how I knew Ryou when we were kids, or else they'll be asking me questions about it. I never wanted to see the day that I'll see Ryou again, especially since I left without saying good bye." Angel said to herself as she sensed danger nearby and saw Kish hovering next to her. "What do you want Kish? I'm not in the mood to deal with you right now."
"I overheard what you just said, and couldn't help but to find out what you meant." Kish said as Angel stood with her fist clenched. "I'm here to try to negotiate with you about something since you're willing to leave the mews."
"I'm not going to leave my friends so I can be on your side Kish! I never said that I was going to betray them, so leave me alone!" Angel said as she stormed away until she noticed Kish creating another infuser.
"Since you're not going to join my side, then I'm just going to have to destroy you then." Kish said as he fused the infuser with a stray dog, turning it into a predacyte dog seven times her size as Kish started to leave. "Good luck handling this predacyte."
"Get back here you coward!" Angel said as she quickly dodged the predacyte dog's paw by leaping back. "Great. Now I have to deal with this predacyte canine until the other mews come, if they come."
Angel took out her power pendant and was about to turn into Mew Angel until she was hit by a large paw as she got slammed onto a tree. Angel stood back up and leaped forward to dodge the predacyte dog's large paw and was now in the air above it.
"Let' even out this fight shall we? Mew Mew Angel Metamorphosis!" Angel turned into Mew Angel as she landed on top of the predacyte dog's head then jumped off it and landed on her feet behind it. "Time to rid this predacyte."
The white bow on Mew Angel's tail started to glow as she swayed her tail up as her Winter Bell appeared above her. Mew Angel grabbed her Winter Bell while it was still in mid air as she pointed toward the predacyte and was about to hit with her Winter Bell's strongest attack, but was hit the predacyte's large tail and landed on her side.
"I have to end this now!" Mew Angel stood back up on her feet as she leaped high above the predacyte with her Winter Bell facing down at it. "Winter Bell: Full Power!"
The predacyte dog turned back into the same stray dog it was before as she noticed that Masha ate the infuser. She saw Ryou and the mews standing nearby as she returned back into her normal appearance.
"What took you guys so long?" Angel said as she lost consciousness and started to fall towards the ground until Ryou caught her in his arms to break her fall.
