Well, I'm sorry I haven't been uploading lately, but I think it's time we introduced a new character!
Marin looked solemnly at the ground as she walked, she still didn't understand. When she looked up she was in front of a large house. Marin looked around, she hadn't been near here before. A petite girl, with flowing black hair and emerald green eyes steeped out, she was wearing a green dress that stopped at her knees. She looked over at Marin ans asked coldly. "What are you doing here?"
"I just got a bit lost." Marin replied kindly. "Could you tell me where I am?"
"Your right next to my house." the strange girl replied cruelly
"Thanks for the help." Marin replied, her comment dripping with sarcasm.
"Anytime."
Marin walked on trying to find her way home. She noticed a large cherry tree. She ran towards it, recognizing it. Underneath the cherry tree were two stones. Marin smiled at them, not a happy smile, but a fond nostalgic one. She looked ahead to find her house from the dream, it had been hers when she was little. Tears fell down her cheeks. She found her way back to her old house, and slumped over her bed. Looking at her ceiling she wondered if her dream was just a different reality. She looked out her window to see a small field of sunflowers her father had planted when they had moved.
Recovering from her sadness she walked to the cafe and slipped on her uniform. Emma and Nicole were already there. She took some orders until a girl walked through the door. It was the girl from earlier. She looked over at Marin confused.
"I'm waiting to be seated." She demanded.
Marin rushed over and got her to a table. "What brings you here today?" she asked kindly.
"My parents are forcing my to see if this place is any good." She sighed. "Is there anything you would recommend?"
Marin contemplated the question for a second, then answered. "I enjoy the Lime Sherbet, and my co-workers favorites are the Blueberry Muffin and Lemon Cheesecake."
"I'll go with the Truffle Cake." she said passively.
Marin brought the dish out, and placed it in front of the girl. "I haven't asked your name!" Marin said. "I'm Marin Forman."
"Thea Knight." she answered nonchalantly. She quietly ate her cake, paid, and left.
The next day Marin was walking home from school, when she bumped into Thea again, knocking some books from her hands. "I'm so sorry, let me help." Marin said shocked.
"No!" Thea shouted, but not until Marin had already picked up one of the books. Marin looked it over.
"Keroro Gunsou?" Marin asked before handing it back to Thea.
"You know it? It's so hilarious! I love manga!" The exclaimed before catching herself
"I haven't read much since I was little, my uncle was Japanese." Marin said nostalgicly.
"You have Japanese relatives, may I meet them?" Thea asked
"They.."Marin looked down and sighed. "Died in a fire, seven years ago, and their son, Ryou lives over in Japan."
"Oh." Thea said sadly, "Would you mind if I stopped by the cafe later?"
"Of course not!" Marin said warmly, before heading to the cafe.
The cafe was crowded as usual, but Marin kept a sharp eye out for Thea. When she appeared Marin quickly showed her to her table.
"Thank you." Thea said, back her previous seriousness. Just then Jeni called.
"Girls, you need to run! I'm sorry, but the cafe will be closing for today." she said to the customers. Marin, Emma, and Nicole darted outside, where Jeni met them.
"It's a new, alien. Tora sensed it. Go get it girls." the three nodded and shouted out.
"Mew Mew Lime! Metamorphose!"
"Mew Mew Lemon! Metamorphose!"
"Mew Mew Muffin! Metamorphose!"
They had just finished transforming when Tora spit out a pendant.
"New Mew Mew. New mew mew!" It said looking at Thea, who was hiding behind a tree. She walked out and pointed to herself.
"Me, I'm a... whatever you are?"
Lime nodded and threw her the pendant.
"Mew Mew Truffle! Metamorphose!" She shouted
She when she was finished her black hair was tied into a bun, her dress was short, but elegant, and she had high heels, she also had a set of pink ears, and a curled tail.
"You're a mew mew, just like us. We defend the planet and defeat bad aliens! Each of us has a red data animal that we use the skills of, looks like you got some sort of pig." Muffin said cheerfully.
"I'm a Maho-Shojou?" Thea asked amased
"Pretty much." Marin answered, "But we have to go."
They ran along the city streets, with Truffle taking any opportunity to talk about how cool it was. Until Tora told them they were in the right spot. Cake was waiting.
"I've been waiting kitten." He said floating down to Marin. "Ooh, who's the new girlie?" He aid looking at Truffle. She scowled at Cake
"Truffle Drill!" She called, and her gloves turned into a shovel-like claw she locked her hands together and shouted "Ribbon Truffle Quake!" She smacked the ground and sent pieces of rocks flying at Cake who nimbly dodged them.
"Let me. Lime Mallet!" Lime shouted, "Ribbon Lime Bolt." He flew as the ball of lightning whizzed, it grazed his arm slightly as it flew past
"See you later ladies, it's been fun."
That's Thea, don't forget to REVIEW
