One by one, the customers started coming in. By lunchtime, it seemed as if a mass of people had already picked through the stands. Lettuce was already sold out, while Kokoro's stand still had plenty to sell.

"I guess I really did bake too much." She said anxiously, and handed the other Mews some to try.

"So good, na-no-dah!" Pudding said happily as she bit into a chocolate chip cookie.

"Thanks, it's my mom's recipe." Kokoro smiled as the others tried her baked goods, except Pai and Lettuce, who weren't there. Her own curiosity urged her on, and she left the stand in Ichigo's hands.

"Looks like your dolls are well known here. The people have good taste." Pai said kindly as he looked at the sold out stand.

"Thanks, Pai-kun." Lettuce blushed. "Um. You know the red tulip that I made? Did you know that flowers have meanings, here on Earth?" She looked at him.

"I've heard of things like that. What does this one mean?" He motioned to the pocket on his tux, the tulip tucked there.

Lettuce's face turned even more red. "It's a… I mean, I don't want to…"

"Spit it out, Lettuce-san." He said, looking amused.

"It's a declaration of love." Lettuce closed her eyes, waiting for mocking or some other form of rejection. "Or, it can also mean.. Believe me." She whispered.

Pai stood there, sort of shocked. "Lettuce…"

She turned away from him, telling herself how foolish she was, berating herself silently. "I know, it was stupid, I shouldn't have-"

"Weren't you the one that told me not to assume things?" He walked so that he was in front of her again. She took a deep breath in, waiting for him to do something. He took a hold of her hands. "Lettuce, is that really how you feel?"

She looked into his eyes. "I never really wanted to fight you, Pai. I knew there was good inside of you. But… Now…" She blushed.

"Ah ha!" Kokoro said loudly, totally ruining the moment. "I knew it! Aww, you two are so kawaii!"

"Kokoro-san!" Lettuce cried. "Wha- Why were you spying?"

"I wasn't spying…" Kokoro frowned. "I wanted you guys to have some of my cookies and brownies!" She held the bag out in front of her as proof, then set it on the empty stand. "I guess I'll be going now… Gomen'nasai." She turned to leave, but her hand was caught by Pai's.

"Kokoro-san, you are not to tell anyone you saw any of this." He glared at her.

"I promise." She said, crossing her heart.

"Kokoro Oneechan!" A voice called from across the café.

"Pudding!" She exclaimed, startled. In a few seconds, the young Mew was in front of her.

"You weren't changing like you said you were, na-no-dah!" Pudding looked up at her. "Telling stories isn't good Oneechan!"

"I just went to give Pai and Lettuce some sweets." She said looking down at her seriously. "Gomen'nasai, Pudding, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I was just trying not to worry anyone."

"Did you find them, na-no-dah?" Pudding looked around curiously.

"What do you mean? They're right-" Kokoro turned to find them gone, the bag still on the stand. "Oh, well I guess not." Her face burned with embarrassment.

"Maybe Lettuce Oneechan went home early…" Pudding said sadly. "Do you want to keep looking for them, na-no-dah?"

"No, Pudding, I'll go by her house later. Let's go be with the others." Kokoro said and took Pudding's hand, still wondering about where Pai and Lettuce disappeared to.
