Hello my fellow readers, my dear apologies for taking a while, but well as I said before, this chapter is going to have a surprise…I wanted to make sure that the story is not that short and full of details. So anyways I DO NO OWN TOKYO MEW MEW, NEVER CREATED IT. Enjoy!

Ichigo

*yawn. Ah what a horrible dream I had. It was about Kisshu coming in my room…I guess it's because I left the window open which made me feel his presence. Still, I felt cold lips on my tummy…maybe he came back, or maybe it was just my imagination! Yes, that makes sense, I mean, Kisshu and his brothers have more important things to do back at their planet.

*Ichigo's mom, "Honey! Pudding is on the phone! She says it's an emergency!"

An emergency? Oh no! Maybe the café is on fire or someone got injured…or maybe Kisshu… "I'm coming!"

Conversation between Ichigo and Pudding

"Hello?"

"ICHIGO! Finally you decide to answer! I've been waiting on the phone for hours, no, years! What if this was a re-…uhm was a…non-emergency? Would you leave me hanging on the phone too?"

"…Pudding, calm down, I barely woke up. So what's the emergency?"

"oh yea…Shirogane said that there was a very important meeting right now…it's about uhm…the earth and how the earth is in danger again…but the villains seem to be more vicious than the aliens. OK? That's all, hurry up and get here before Shirogane says something."

She hung up before I could say anything else. I'm guessing it really is an emergency, but I thought I heard laughing in the background. Ah man! It's Sunday today also.

"Mother! I'm leaving to the café, I'll probably be back late!"

"ok honey! Take care, don't forget that your father and I will be going to your grand-parent's home, have fun at the surp-…bye!"

Well, she sounded suspicious…Nya! Another new day! Now what will I wear today? Ah ok I'll wear my green shorts and a cute semi-long pink shirt. Oh I can't forget about my new sandals that have a huge strawberry in between the toe. Oh no! I'm going to be late as always...gotta run!

(Finally gets at the café)

I made it with just a minute to spare. As I was running over here though, I felt as if someone was following me. Brrr I got shivers on my arms now. Ok time to go in before I get scolded. What's this? No one is in here! The lights are off…maybe they are at the lab/meeting room.

ALL MEW MEW'S AND CREW: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ICHIGO!

Nya! What's this! Oh I completely forgot about my birthday! That's right, today I am fifteen years old…

"Thank you everyone! I really didn't expect all of this, thank you a lot!"

Pudding: "Well? What's everybody waiting for? It's a party! Let's have some fun!."

Wow, I feel so happy, I guess I should enjoy this party like never before! Yay! Nyaa~

Kisshu

I wonder where Kitty cat is going…I'm going to follow her. Oh, she's headed towards that café, I guess she has work today. The light's look turned off though…maybe I should peek inside. Ha! Why this is splendid! It's kitty cat's birthday! This makes my plans even better. Don't worry my kitten…I'll be waiting for you…so take your time and have fun.

Ichigo

"MINT! PASS ME THAT DRINK WITH THAT STUFF IN IT…I WANT MORE!" *hiccup

"ichigo! You have been drinking to much! Go sit down! Just look at you! You're just like those drunk people in the corner."

"BLAH! YOUR'E ALWAYS SUCH A SPOILED BRAT! JUST CUZ YOU HAVE MORE STUFF…DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T DRINK! YOU PROBABLY DRINK EVEEERY DAY. HAHAHAHA."

Shirogane: "ok everybody! Party is over, someone should take Ichigo home."

"SHIROGANE! THE OBJECT THINGY IS RINGING!" *hiccup

(shirogane at the phone)

"yes. This is shirogane. Ichigo? Yes she is here. Wait what? Yes I understand…I'll make sure to tell her…it's going to be hard on her. Alright, bye bye."

"Ichigo, im very sorry…but, your parent's got in a fatal accident coming back from your grand parent's house…my dearest sympathy."

Parent's? huh? Everything is getting fuzzy…

(Ichigo knocks out but face lands on the punch which makes her wake up)

"No…you are lying…this is some sort of joke right? Ha…"

Why isn't anybody saying anything? Mom and dad are going to be home…yes all the time on my birthday they bake a delicious strawberry short cake…I'll just go home and they'll be there.

"I'm going to go home you guys…please, I'll go alone so don't worry about me ok?"

Although I know this is all a lie, why am I crying? Why is everybody just trying to calm me down? Could it be that this is real? No…they will be back home waiting for me so we can eat cake together.

(At the front door of her house)

Ok! "Mom, dad! I'm home! Why aren't you answering? Oh! Are you guys in the kitchen?"

Shirogane…was telling the truth…mom, dad, they won't be coming home ever again, they left me here with the strawberry shortcake and 15 pink candles…a card. I'll open it.

Dear Ichigo,

Me and your father wish you the best birthday ever! We are very proud to have you as our daughter. Don't forget that we love you a lot because you are our only daughter. On your fifteenth birthday, you have matured more and become more beautiful. We hope that all your day's are filled with happiness even if Aoyama kun isn't with you.

`sincerely, mom and dad

*sniff, Why does this have to happen to me? Why did you guys have to leave me…this doesn't…no…this is all a dream. I'm pinching myself as hard as I can but I just can't seem to wake up…I am so heart broken. Aoyama-kun, mom, and dad are gone. How will I be able to be happy again? It's pointless…the house might be paid already, but I'll be living here in solitude. I'll just keep pinching myself and maybe I could wake up…

"Hello, kitty cat."

dun dun dun! Surprise! It's Ichigo's birthday, and her parent's death. Sad…That's the surprise. I guess it's a sad surprise since Ichigo is now all alone…well not COMPLETELY alone. Next chapter, what will Kisshu do? What is Ichigo's reaction to know that Kisshu has been in her house? I'll try to get the next chapter done soon, but I've been quite busy. Please review! Oh and as always, I DO NOT OWN TOKYO MEW MEW.
