11:36 am…

"Ichigo Ichigo wake up!" A high voice said. Ichigo moved a little, Masha thought she was waking up. But then Ichigo pulled a pillow over her head smacking Masha in the process.

"Ichigo! Time to get up! Time to get up!" Masha said tugging on her pillow.

"Mom, please just five more minutes." Ichigo said under the pillow.

"Ichigos friends will be here soon!" Masha said tugging harder.

"Wha…? Why are they coming here?" Ichigo asked.

"To search for aliens!" Masha said, and then something in Ichigo's mind clicked. She then remembered everything that happened the day before.

"Oh yeah! What time is it?" Ichigo poked her head out from under the pillow and looked at her alarm clock.

"Almost ten?! Whoa I slept in! I gotta get dressed!" Ichigo said springing up from her bed and heading to her closet, leaving Masha trapped withing the sheets and pillows.

"Ichigo? Help?" Masha said quietly, if Ichigo wasn't in such a rush and looked at him all she would see was a little moving lump in the covers.

Meanwhile with Lettuce.

Lettuce yawned for what seemed like the millionth time, she only got five hours of sleep last night.

"I better take a nap sometime or else I will seem like a zombie." Lettuce said to herself.

She was almost at Ichigos house. Earlier today she saw Masha flying towards her house too.

"I wonder what's going on" Lettuce said to herself. She could see Ichigos house now, pretty soon she would understand. Hopefully…

Few minutes later.

Lettuce was almost at the point which she could see Ichigo's front door, it was just around the corner. Lettuce turned the corner to see that Purin was about to knock on Ichigo's front door.

"Hey, Purin!" Lettuce shouted, Purin stopped what she was doing and turned to look at lettuce.

"Hello Lettuce! What are you here na no da?" Purin asked

"I was about to ask you the same Purin, Ryou called last night and told me to come here." Lettuce said walking over to where Purin was.

"Oh so Lettuce was told to go on a mission too na no da?!"

"Uh huh, lets see if Ichigos home." Lettuce said, then she knocked three times in a row. No answer. So Purin rang the door bell. Still nothing.

With Ichigo.

"Oh! That must be them!" Ichigo said, she was dressed, washed, all she had to do now was putt her hair up, however she didn't want to keep her friends waiting for her so she picked up the paste.

Snap

"Darn! I broke the ribbon! I guess I will be leaving my hair down today." Ichigo said with a sigh. Just then she heard another knock on the door.

"Coming!" Ichigo said. Then she threw the ribbon in the trash and ran down stairs to answer the door. When she opened the door she saw Lettuce and Purin standing there.

"Hey guys! Come in, I have allot to tell you." Ichigo said. Lettuce and Purin walked in and each sat down on a chair at the dinner table. Ichigo took a seat too.

"Ichigo, what mission are we going on?" Lettuce asked.

"Huh? You mean that Ryou didn't tell you?" Ichigo asked.

"Nuh uh, he said that you would tell us na no da!" Purin said.

"Alright listen this maybe a little hard to understand. Last night Ryou told me to kill Kish Pai and Tart…" Ichigo said but she didn't get to finish, because pudding interrupted her.

"Noooooooooo! You didn't did you! Ichigo is so mean! Na no da!" Purin said and started to cry.

"Purin I didn't kill them because they ran away!" Ichigo said. Purin suddenly stopped crying.

"Oh so Ichigo isn't evil na no da!" Purin said happily.

"And so we have to find them, the aliens?" Lettuce asked.

"Yeah, that's why I told Ryou to tell you to come here, so that you guys can help me find them. That's the mission." Ichigo said

"How did they run away?" Lettuce asked.

"Well they wanted to play hide and seek, and they insisted that I was the one who counted." Ichigo said

"So they aliens ran away while Ichigo counted Na no da!" Purin said.

"That's pretty clever for their age, well the age that they are in now." Lettuce said.

"That's what I thought too, I think it has something to do with the zap or whatever wearing off."

"The age ray is wearing off?" Lettuce said more then asked.

"Yeah, Ryou said that they ray was wearing off so I would have to take action as soon as possible and kill them." Ichigo explained.

"Won't it wear off when they are still out there somewhere?" Purin asked.

"HOLY CRAP your right!" Ichigo said slamming her fist into her palm.

"We better find them soon!" Ichigo said getting ready to jump out of her seat.

"Wait, Ichigo why do you even need to find them?" Lettuce asked.

"Wha……?" Ichigo asked.

"Well if it wears off while they are still in the woods or something then they would grow to there normal ages and gain all there memories like Ryou said, then you won't have to kill them." Lettuce said.

"That won't work! Na no da!" Purin said.

"Why not?" Ichigo and lettuce said at the same time.

"Ryou is so stubborn and desperate Na no da! It won't work!" Purin said.

"Oh, and he really wants to see them dead no matter what." Ichigo added

"Oh so what you are saying is that if we don't find them then Ryou will search for them himself and kill them?" Lettuce asked

"Yes!" Ichigo and Purin said at the same time.

"But there are still two things that I don't understand." Lettuce said.

"Why does Ichigo want them to stay alive so badly? I thought you hated them, you use to think that they were no account annoying bugs." Lettuce said with her index finger high in the air.

A/n: Just like Pai!

"I got to know them better and found out that they have hearts, feelings, and have suffered allot in their childhood, there really not all that bad once you get to know them. Heck! They even lived on Earth before we even got here! There pretty much humans!" Ichigo said. Lettuce smiled with understandment.

"And the other thing that I don't understand is that why do you need Purin and I, and not Zakuro or Mint? Or all of us?" Lettuce asked.

"Because you would be the only one to understand what I am trying to say. Zakuro would say "whatever!" and leave, and Mint would probably tell Ryou knowing her." Ichigo explained.

"What about Purin?" Lettuce asked.

"Tart likes her." Ichigo said plainly.

"Yeah! Tar Tar likes me! But I thought he didn't know me na no da!" Purin said/asked.

"The other day when I asked them if they would like some pudding, Tart said "Pudding was his friend and he would never eat her". Ichigo said.

"Tar Tar likes Purin!! NA NO DA!" Purin screamed with happiness as she jumped up from her chair.

"So so when should we start looking?" Lettuce asked.

"Huh…I didn't really plan anything…soooo when should we go?" Ichigo asked. Lettuce thought for a minute. Then she remembered something from earlier.

"Was Masha coming as well Ichigo? I saw him not to long ago as I was walking to your house." Lettuce asked.

"Huh? Oh right Masha! He woke me up this morning because he said you and Purin were going to be here soon." Ichigo said. "However I don't know where he is now…" Ichigo said.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Lettuce asked

"This morning, I remember him saying 'help'. And…Uh oh!" Ichigo said springing up from her seat, as did Lettuce and they both ran up the stairs to Ichigos room. Mean while Purin finally stopped jumping around the room happily and ran up the stairs as well.

"Wait for Purin Na No Da!"

In Ichigos room

Ichigo swung the door open. "Masha? Masha where are you?!" Ichigo shouted hoping that her little furry flying friend wasn't in danger. Lettuce Purin and Ichigo listened for a minute. Nothing.

"Masha can you hear us?" Lettuce called. They listened again and heard a muffled 'I'm here.' Coming form Ichigos messy bed. Purin hopped over and pulled the blankets off the bed, lettuce Ichigo and Purin all saw a little Masha with swirls in his eyes. But it wasn't the swirls they were focusing on. Masha had a strange gadget attached to his head. Purin had a huge question mark over her head.

"What is that Na no da?" Purin asked. Masha who finally snapped out of the swirly thing flew up in to the air and flew around the room, the thing on his head was weighing him down a little.

"Masha is that the gadget that Ryou was talking about last night?" Ichigo asked pointing at Masha's head.

"Ichigo right! Ichigo right!" Masha cried.

"Ichigo what are you talking about?" Lettuce asked.

"Last night Ryou needed Masha to go to Café mew mew so he could attach this thing, it's a DNA locator." Ichigo said

"Oh, a tracker." Lettuce said.

"So now we can find them na no da!" Purin said.

"How about we use the tracker to see where they are going?" Lettuce suggested

"Good idea Lettuce. Masha can you show us where they are?" Ichigo said then asked. Masha opened his mouth as wide as possible, then in a heart beat Lettuce Ichigo and Purin were looking inside his mouth with their faces cheek to cheek.

"Look at the purple, green and gold dots na no da!" Purin said pointing at the three colorful little dots.

"I think that the green one is Kish, the purple one is Pai, and the gold one is Tart." Ichigo said.

"They are just sitting there." Lettuce said.

"No wait they are on the move again!" Ichigo said pointing.

"Where are they headed na no da?" Purin asked

"I don't know…Ichigo? Do you know?" Lettuce asked. With that Ichigo thought and thought, and then her mind went back to the day that they played Jenga…

Flash back…

A/n: Well that ends this chapter! I don't know when the next one will be updated because I really want to make a huge chapter! Why you ask? Because…

2. Because I am in such a creative mood!

I just got back from seeing the movie Bridge to Terabithia! The ending was so sad…I kept saying in my head "I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry!" but then I saw Jess cry and I thought "OH THAT DID IT!!!" and I cried. It was a really good movie! I am so going to by it!

Heres a little contest!
