The Hartman Chronicles Season 3 Chapter 10

"Do you mean to tell me she's actually a Mew Mew?" Fumio said, "Boy did the author just get lazy this time around or what?"

"I don't know," Cara said, "But he's still got to do two or three more of these sequences."

"Fantastic," Fumio sighed, "Let's just hope he can actually manage to pull it off."

"Uh, what are you guys talking about?" I said, scratching my head.

"Oh, nothing," Fumio replied.

That well-dressed teen that had helped us defeat Spancer walked up to us.

"Thanks for the help," Cara smiled, "What is your name?"

"My name is of no concern to you," The teen said with a bow, "but if you insist on calling me something, you may call me The Gentleman."

"Very well Gentleman," Cara smiled, "Thank you again!"

The Gentleman let a black rose drop to the ground and ran off. I went over to the rose and saw a note attached to it which read, For Cara.

Cara squealed with delight and ran over to the rose, "These are my favorite kind of flower!" She exclaimed, "How did he know?"

Suki sighed, "He should have at least gotten a flower for all of us!"

Fumio laughed, "Suki, you need to come with me to your new place of work."

Suki nodded and followed Fumio.

"I better get going too," Cara said and walked with them.

I nodded while no one was looking and walked back to my house.

The next day in the café, I was greeted by a familiar face.

"Hey Mochi!" Ken said when he entered the place where I worked.

"Ken!" I exclaimed and hugged him.

"So Mochi, how have you been?"

"You saw me at lunch"

"Oh," Ken laughed half-heartedly, "Yeah, totally forgot about that."

I could tell something was up.

"Okay Ken what do you want to ask me?" I sighed, "And don't tap dance around this subject."

"I...I...I...was...uh...wondering...wondering..." Ken stammered, "Oh yeah! I was going to ask you if you knew that the American Ambassador was here in Tokyo."

"I do now," I replied.

Ken nodded, "And he brought his daughter along too! Maybe we could meet her sometime?"

"If we find her," I chuckled.

Ken sighed, "Alright that wasn't what I was going to ask you, I was wondering if you want to go on a date."

My heart skipped a beat; did Ken actually ask me out on a date? He did! He actually did!

I squealed with happiness and hugged Ken tightly, "Oh yes! I'd love too!"

Ken smiled, "Cool, I guess we can go to the Tokyo Bay."

I nodded with approval, "How about tomorrow?"

"That'll work, around eight?"

"Yeah,"

"Cool, see you then!"

Ken took a seat at a table and was served by Mikan.

My heart was in a tizzy, Ken asked me out on a date! This is fantastic! This is...this is...

"So wonderful!" I yelled all the eyes in the café where on me and a dark red blush filled my cheeks. I slinked back into one of the chairs near a table and looked down. I noticed that there was another kid sitting by me, she looked about thirteen with white skin, brown hair, and green eyes, "Hey there," I smiled.

"Hi," The girl said.

"How are you?" I asked.

"Good, You?"

"I'm fantastic! I mean, well, you heard my little outburst,"

"Yeah,"

"So, what do you like to do for fun?"

"Eh, Stuff,"

I felt like I was trying to pull teeth from this girl.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"Sheri," The girl replied.

"Sheri?"

"Sheri Rosemann,"

"That sounds like a pretty name,"

"It is"

"So," I said, getting annoyed, "Is there anyone you look up to?"

"The Mew Mews," The girl said, "I love them to death, what I wouldn't give to be able to fight alongside them...or maybe just see them in person."

"Wow, you actually said more than two words!"

"I'm not much of a talker,"

"I see, so why are you here?"

"Dad,"

"Your dad brought you here?"

"Yeah, to protect me,"

"From?"

"A green guy,"

"The Hulk?"

The girl sighed, "He had some strange arm."

Spancer, I thought, "So why did this green guy threaten you?"

"My hand," The girl said, holding out her hand. There, in the middle of her palm, a small mark that looked like a heart with wings was.

"That's a Mew mark," I said, not thinking.

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"How do you know?"

"I have one too,"

"So you're a..."

"Well, kinda," I chuckled, trying to turn my true statement into a lie.

"Can you make me one?"

I thought for a second, "Yeah I think I could."

"Will you do it now?"

"Yeah, follow me."

The two of us walked into "The room" and I looked at the machine.

Now how does Fumio do this, I thought and spied the lever, Oh yeah! He pulls the lever!

I told Sheri to stand in front of the machine and ran over to the lever and pulled it. A red beam shot out and hit Sheri, the next thing I knew, I was in a desert.

"Weird," Sheri said, "Why am I all of a sudden in the desert?"

She shrugged and continued walking until she got to a carcass with no smell and a white vulture picking at its bones. The vulture looked at Sheri and entered a staring contest with her.

"Alright!" The Vulture said, "What do you want?"

"I don't know. What do you want?" Sheri asked.

"Well, you're supposed to be the people I bond with aren't ya?"

"For the whole Mew Mew thing?"

"Exactly,"

"Well then, do your stuff,"

The vulture nodded and flew into Sheri's stomach. I woke up right next to the lever with Fumio standing over me.

"What did you just do?" He asked.

"I got us another Mew Mew," I smiled.

Fumio sighed, "Listen, you can just convert anyone into a Mew Mew! If their DNA doesn't contain the Mew gene, then there is no telling what could happen!"

I sighed, "I'm sorry."

"Luckily, this girl had a mark on her palm. So I guess your decision was the right one,"

"Then why did you yell at me?"

"I just wanted to tell you something could have gone wrong,"

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah,"

Sheri woke up and stood at her feet before gazing at Fumio.

"Are you another Mew Mew?" She asked.

"No, I'm just the guy in charge of things around here...just think of the people in that show Totally Spies. The three girls do the dirty work while Jerry just helps them out." Fumio said.

Sheri stared at Fumio with disbelief, "You watched it?"

"It was on some retro cartoon channel when my family went on a vacation to America," Fumio said "To be honest, I rather enjoy it."

The grinding of gears filled the café.

"What is that?" Sheri asked.

"That is the alarm warning us of another robot attack, I suggest you girls get to it," Fumio said and pulled out his PDA, "It is at the Foreign Embassy."

Sheri looked shocked, "Right! Let's get there right away!"

Sheri took off with me right behind her. When we got to the Foreign Embassy, we noticed a large hydra robot attacking.

"Mew Mochi Metamorphosis!" I exclaimed and went into my Mew form. Sheri looked at me.

"So you are a Mew Mew!"

"Yes, I am. I'll start attacking the monster; you just try to find the words to" I said before Sheri interrupted me, "Mew Cherry Metamorphosis!"

"Transform," I said, finishing my sentence.

Sheri grew wings with White and black feathers and white tail feathers. The new Mew Mews hair and eyes were a dark pink color and her costume was a light pink one piece and the same colored gloves and boots which looked a bit too big for her hands and feet. She held her hand to the sky and a small trumpet appeared. The new Mew Mew grabbed her weapon and got ready to fight. The two of us charged at the robot, who tried to eat us. We dodged and I shot one of my rockets at the robot's eye. The rocket landed a direct hit and shattered the eye, causing the mechanical serpent to roar in pain. The serpent opened its mouth and sent a giant blue beam at us. We had no time to run and braced ourselves. Out of nowhere a yellow feather appeared out of the ground and blocked that attack.

"Puddi!" I exclaimed before the serpent tried to smash us with its tail. We jumped out of the way and were met by Puddi and Mikan.

"Hey there guys!" I smiled, "What brings you here?"

"Class fieldtrip," Puddi said, "Mikan and I have been working on an attack, you want to see it?"

I nodded.

"Ribbon Puddi Featherpiecer!" Puddi exclaimed and summoned a yellow feather that pointed at the robot.

"Ribbon Mikan Windstorm!" Mikan exclaimed and began to create a powerful wind by beating her wings, the wind picked up behind the feather and send it forward, embedding itself into the robot's midsection.

"That's odd," Puddi said, "It was supposed to cut right through it."

Sheri held up her trumpet, "Sounding of Hearts!" Sheri began to play a complicated tune on her trumpet which sent out several black notes at the robot, one of the notes smacked into the feather and cause to go shoot out the other end of the robot, slicing in half.

"Awesome!" Mikan cheered, "And now the robot is down!"

I nodded and got ready to give Sheri a high-five, "Nice job! You'll make a great addition to the team."

Sheri gave me a high-five, "A pleasure to be on the team."
