Me: Okay, so I know what I said about finishing my other story first, buuuuuuut I got caught up on what I needed to and made that rice pudding that my dad and uncle wanted me to, or attempted to at least, it didn't come out right since the oven wasn't working and I had to use the toaster-over -.- Anyway, I have a new and long awaited -heh heh, not really- new chapter! I had so many eggs to wash it wasn't even funny, which is why I thought I might have to stop this for a while, because I had three full baskets that needed to get done and both sides of the sink was full of eggs, so I was like, "Waaaah! To many eggs!" and this upcoming schoolyear will be my first in public since kindergarden! But anyway, on with the story! Oh, and I actually ended up not editing anything :D

And this is to Meg: I updated and I would have emailed you like you said to but...your email wans't there so, gomen!

Kish: Ichigo still doesn't remember me!

Me: *sigh*

Ichigo's eyes flutter open and she yawns, stretching, as she sits up. She stares out the window dazedly, wondering what her dream had been about. She was wearing a café uniform, it was hot pink and…she was cleaning things up left and right!

Shrugging it off, Ichigo clambered out of bed to get dressed for the day, she was late for work. Again.


Ichigo was dressed in a pleated, pink plaid miniskirt with a white, short-sleeved button up shirt and a light pink noodle-trap tank top underneath it. The weather report had said it would be sunny all day, but it was raining now as she stood under a canopy outside of a small coffee shop.

She gasped as someone suddenly dropped a pale green jacket onto her shoulders. "Kish!" She said, surprised, when she saw who it was.

He smiled at her, "Hey, 'sup?"

Ichigo smiled back, relieved that it had not been some creepy stranger, "Not much, just on my way home from work."

"Ah, got off early today, huh?" Kish asked.

Ichigo looked at him, "How'd you know?"

"I'm still on duty." Kish said.

Ichigo giggled, "You say that like you're in the military!"

Kish smirked, "That would be because I am." He thought to himself.

"But if you're still working," Ichigo said, "Then why are you out here?"

"I'm on break," Kish answered, "And Keiichiro asked me to get a few things from the store."

"I see," Ichigo said, she looked to the ground and blushed when Berry's suggestion popped into her mind. She took in a deep breath, "Hey, um, Kish? I was…wondering-"

"Why don't we go into the coffee shop?" Kish suggested, interrupting her as he glanced over his shoulder at the small store behind them.

"Huh?" Ichigo looked up at him.

"Since it's raining," Kish said, "Let's go into the coffee shop! I still have time, want to?"

"Uh…sure!" Ichigo smiled at him and they walked in.

They sat at a small table for two. The place was very quaint and café-like, though nothing even close to Café Mew Mew, the carpet was a chocolate brown and the walls were a tan color with large, brown circles that overlapped each other, and up in one corner was a small TV.


Berry sighed, wiping her arm across her forehead as she leaned on the table, she had just finished washing five of the tables in record time because Retasu and Purin had had a "little" accident.

"Girls!" Ryou called from the basement, sounding urgent, "Get everyone out of the café! We have some…some plumbing problems!"

"Uh, hai!" Berry exclaimed and she and the other mews began to usher everyone out of the café, packaging their unfinished treats into to-go boxes.

Once they were all in the basement, Minto was the first to speak up. "What's wrong?"

"There's several Chimera Anima in the city park!" Ryou said, "Go! Now!"

"Hai!" With that, all five rushed out.

"MEW MEW BERRY! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW MINT! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW LETTUCE! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW PUDDING! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW ZAKURO! METAMORPHOSIS!"


Ichigo and Kish were talking, sitting at the café table, and enjoying themselves. The older people in the small place gave them glances every so often, thinking they were a cute, young couple.

Kish sighed and sat back, glancing at the TV in the corner. Then he looked again, shocked. All the mews, save for Ichigo, were fighting a Chimera Anima. The reporter spoke.

"The girls of Tokyo Mew Mew are back! Fighting what looks like a mutated dog of some sort!" Did they even notice that Mew Strawberry was missing? Kish guessed not. "There are also several others of these creatures throughout the park!"

Ichigo twisted around in her seat to look at the screen, "Hey, Tokyo Mew Mew, no one's seen them in a while."

"Huh?" Kish looked back down at Ichigo, "What do you mean?"

"Well, about three months ago they just kind of…stopped," Ichigo said, "It was weird, like they disappeared or something."

"Three months ago?" Kish thought, "Wasn't that when Ichigo…forgot?"

"Here's your order!" The cheerful barista set the drinks on the table for them.


"I don't get it!" Minto said once they were back at the café, "You said we got all the Animas, like, a month ago!"

"Yeah, na no da!" Purin exclaimed.

"I thought you did," Ryou said, "But I guess there were more!"

"Why would they show up now, though?" Berry asked, "After a whole month? That seems a little weird!"

"Perhaps…" Zakuro started, "Hmmm…"

"What is it?" Keiichiro asked.

"The aliens." Zakuro said. "It's a bit odd isn't it? That Chimera Animas would suddenly show up after they arrive?"

"Zakuro-oneesan is right!" Minto said, "That is so weird! Just what are they up to?!"

"Nothing." A new voice entered the room, everyone looked to see Pai and Tart. "We have nothing to do with the recent Chimera Animas."

"What if it's Kish?" Ryou asked, "Since when does he ever follow the rules?"

"Chimera Animas are the very reason Mew Ichigo lost her memory," Pai stated, "We'll be lucky if we ever get him to use one again!"

"Pai is right." Berry said, "I doubt Kish would do that, he cares too much for Ichigo."

"Speaking of which," Ryou said, "Where is Kish? He was supposed to be back a half hour ago."


"Thanks again," Ichigo said as she stood on her doorstep with Kish.

"No problem!" Kish said, smiling at her. "But I gotta go now. Bye!"

"Bye!" Ichigo watched as he retreated down the front path, then she remembered something. "Oh! Kish, wait!" She ran up to him.

Kish turned, looking at her, "What is it?"

"Um…" Ichigo stared at the ground, blushing, as she dug the tip of her shoe into the cement, "I was…I was just wondering…if maybe you want to, um, go to Minto's part with me…" Kish just stared at her for a minute, to shocked to speak, but Ichigo got the wrong impression. "I mean, you don't have to, you can say no if don't want to-"

Kish cut her off with a quick peck on the lips, "I'd love to!"

Ichigo's cheeks turned beet red as she stood there, speechless. Kish chuckled at how cute she looked and headed back towards the café. Ichigo spun around and ran into her house, running up the stairs and flying onto her bed, landing on her stomach. She giggled into her pillow when something green caught her eye, she looked over and noticed that she was still wearing Kish's jacket. She blushed and figures she'd stop by Café Mew Mew the next day to give it back.


Me: Ta da! Who's spitting out the Chimera Animas for the mews to fight? What will happen when Ichigo gives Kish back his jacket?! Where was Tasuku?! Lol, actually I just kind of forgot him, sorry!

Tasuku: How could you forget me?! I'm one of your favorite charaters!

Me: I know! I'm horrible! *sob*

Kish: Read and Review please!


Minto is sitting at a café table, she sips her tea with grace. "Ichigo, table five needs you!" "Right away!" "Retasu! Watch out!" "Waaaah!" "Purin, don't play with that!" She's running around like crazy, wearing a hot pink waitress uniform, "I'll help!" Berry races out of the kitchen in a light pink one. Ichigo sighs, "Thanks a ton, Berry!" "No problem! That's what friends are for, right?" They smile at each oth
