Thanks for waiting! Enjoy!

Amber tied her apron on as she was in the locker room.
"There we go." Amber said as it was now a bow.
She hummed a song as she walked out. The whole area was buzzing as everyone was running around and trying to fill out orders. Amber sighed as she went to the back. She poured herself a cup of tea and got a muffin. She walked out and sat down at a table. She took a sip and sighed.
"I love mint." Amber said.
She then looked over. The five others were glaring at her.
"Nani?" Amber asked.
"Why don't you help?" Lani asked angrily.
"I would worry less about me." Amber replied as she pointed to the entrance.
There was a long line of people waiting to be seated.
"AH!" Rika gasped and ran over. "Welcome to Café Mew Mew!"
The others went away as Amber took a bite of her muffin. The locker room to the boys opened up as Drake stepped out. He was in the same uniform as Cody.
"I hate bows." Drake muttered as he fumbled with the black neck bow.
A crash was then heard as everyone looked over. Rika was standing there frozen as her order was on the ground. Her face was red as she was staring at Drake.
"H-he looks so handsome!" Rika thought to herself.
She ran over to him.
"Drake-kun, you look great!" Rika said as she came next to him.
"Arigato Rika-chan." Drake replied with a smile.
He then went to leave.
"Ah, wait." Rika said as she stopped him. "Your bow is wrong."
She retied the bow as it was perfect.
"Thanks Rika-chan." Drake said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Those bakas." Amber muttered as she took a sip of tea.
"Yeah! Another Guy!" Cody said happily as he gave Drake a high five.
Amber sighed as she got up. She went to the back and got changed. She then left as she walked through the park. She looked up at the sky as she kept walking.
"This feels nice." Amber said as she stretched her arms.
She then felt herself hit something.
"Ow!" a voice yelled.
She looked over as her hand was in a guys face.
"Ah, g-gomene!" Amber said quickly.
"Watch where your going!" he said as he rubbed his face.
He removed his hand as he looked at her. He had silver hair and light blue eyes as he was her age. He then gasped.
"Y-your-." he started to say.
"I'm really sorry!" Amber said as she did a bow. "It would be great if the press didn't know about this."
"Your that girl!" he said as he pointed at her.
"I hope I'm a girl." Amber replied as she glared at him.
"No, No!" he said quickly. "From the ski resort!"
Flashback
With that Amber slid down the slope. Her eyes sparkled as the sun glistened off of the soft white powder. Her green hair flapped in the wind as a smile took form on her face.
"This is the one thing I get enjoyment out of other than my violin." Amber thought to herself as she then looked up into the blue sky.
She then felt a weight get lifted off of her head. She quickly looked back to see her hat go flying backwards.
"Oh no!" Amber said as her eyes widened and she stopped.
She then saw a silver figure in the distance ski over. The persons hand extended as he grabbed her hat. He then skied up to her.
"I believe this is yours." he said to her.
"Thanks." Amber said softly.
He then turned and skied away. Amber stood there for a moment. She then placed her hat firmly on her head and headed to the bottom.
End Flashback
"T-that was you!?" Amber asked as she pointed to him.
"Toshiro Masukan at your service." He said as he did a bow. "So, what's your name?"
"Y-you mean you've never heard of me?" Amber asked shocked.
"Am I supposed to?" Toshiro asked as he rubbed his head.
"That's strange." Amber said as she looked down at the ground. "I would think everyone knows me."
"Maybe your not as famous as you think." Toshiro replied as he put his hands behind his head.
"H-how dare you talk to me like that!" Amber yelled at him.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked confused.
"I'm leaving, a ignorant people like yourself have no idea how to treat a lady." Amber replied as she turned her back to him.
"I just said that you shouldn't have high expectations for the people around you." Toshiro replied angrily.
"Like I said before, I'm leaving." Amber said as she walked away.
She exited the park as she turned a corner.
"The nerve of that guy." Amber said to herself angrily.
"Hey pretty lady." a voice said to her.
She looked over as a couple street boys were on either side of her.
"C-can I help you?" Amber said worried as she looked at them.
"We just want to show you something." one said as he grabbed her wrist.
"I'm not interested." Amber replied as she pushed his hand off.
"Now don't be like that." the other said as he grabbed her arm.
The other grabbed her other arm as Amber screamed. She was silenced as one put his other hand over her mouth.
"Shall we go?" one said in her ear.
"This can't be happening!" Amber thought to herself as she shut her eyes.
A cry went out as her mouth was freed and one of the hands were removed. She opened her eyes as one of the men were in a bush. She heard a cry from her other side as she turned. The man that was next to her was in pain as his hand was behind his back. Amber looked back as Toshiro had the man in a lock.
"T-Toshiro!" Amber said amazed as she saw this.
Toshiro bought up his foot as he kicked the man in the back. He went flying forward and hit the pavement. The other one scrambled over to him.
"That'll teach you to mess with women." Toshiro said as he put an arm around Amber and bought her close.
Ambers face flushed as she was and inch from his face. The others yelled as they ran away.
"Now that that's over, how about I treat you to lunch to make up for before." Toshiro said as he smiled down at her.
Amber didn't respond as she looked at him and her eyes sparkled. They were soon in a deli as they were eating some sandwiches.
"You still haven't told me your name." Toshiro said as he took a bite of his sandwich.
"I-it's Amber." she replied as her face flushed.
"Well now we're getting off to a good start." Toshiro said with a smile.
Amber gasped as she saw him smile and her cheeks went pink.
"A-arigato, for saving me." Amber said softly as she looked down at the floor.
"It's no problem." Toshiro replied. "I just can't stand men that treat women like that."
Amber picked up her sandwich and took a bite as silence passed between them.
"Well, I should be going." Toshiro said as he looked at his watch. "I have a rehearsal that I should get to."
"Rehearsal?" Amber thought to herself as she looked at him.
"See ya." Toshiro said as he left money for the food.
He exited the deli and walked out of sight.
"Toshiro." Amber said softly as she took another bite of her sandwich.
She then looked over as a clock was on the wall. She gasped as the time was 2:00.
"I have a rehearsal to!" Amber said as she jumped out of her seat.
She left and quickly ran down the sidewalk. She made it to a theatre. She entered as Hans was there and instructing a few people on what to do. It was a large auditorium that could easily fit 200 people. The seats were red with soft fabric. There were box seats on the side as there were golden statues on the walls decorating the place and providing light.
"Hans, I am here." Amber called as she walked down the center.
"Hello madame." Hans said with a soft bow. "Your violin is backstage in the third door to your left."
"Thank you." Amber said as she went back stage.
She went backstage to the room. It was a nicely furnished room that was a soft blue. It was carpeted as there was a bathroom and a couple couches. Her violin was sitting on one. She opened it and prepared her violin. She exited with her violin and went out to the stage. There was a grand piano on the stage as Amber looked around.
"Hans, where is my accompaniment?" Amber called to him as she looked out from the stage.
"Sorry that I'm late." a voice said from behind her. "Something came up that I had to attend to."
"T-that voice!" Amber thought as her eyes grew and she turned her head.
Sure enough Toshiro was standing there and panting.
"Amber?!" he asked shocked.
"Toshiro?!" Amber said equally shocked.
"Very good you both have met before." Hans said with a smile.
"So your Hanigawa-sama." Toshiro said as he put his hands on his hips. "I imagined you would be... older."
"I see you haven't improved since out last meeting." Amber replied as she tuned her violin.
"Can we please start the rehearsal." Hans called to them.
He then snapped his fingers as a stand with music was bought out.
"We'll continue this later." Toshiro said as he sat down at the piano.
Amber sighed as she put the violin under her chin. Toshiro started to play the piano. Amber looked over at him as her eyes sparkled. The melody was beautiful as Amber couldn't stop looking a him. It seemed like the rest of the world faded away as she looked at him and listened to his music.
"W-what is this feeling?" Amber thought to herself as her cheeks flushed.
The music stopped abruptly as he looked up at her.
"Um Amber, your supposed to be playing now." he whispered to her.
"OH!" Amber said as she came back down to earth.
She started to play the violin as beautiful music filled the auditorium. Amber closed her eyes as it seemed like everything in the world was perfect. The song slowly came to a close as she opened her eyes. Hans and the others stood up and applauded as Toshiro and Amber took a bow.
"Splendid, we'll pick this up tomorrow." Hans said as he walked back stage.
"That was amazing." Amber said as she looked at Toshiro. "I've never heard anyone play the piano like that before."
"I've never heard anyone play the violin like that before." Toshiro said as he smiled. "Now I know why your famous."
Ambers cheeks turned pink as she looked at the ground. She then felt him take her right hand in his left. He bent forward and kissed her hand. Ambers face went crimson as she gasped.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Toshiro said as he released her hand.
With that he left as Amber stared at her hand stunned. The next thing she knew she was on her bed and staring up at her hand.
"Toshiro." Amber said softly.
She smiled and closed her eyes as she went to sleep.

"Hey, Lani, you notice anything weird about Amber?" Rika asked as they were in the café the following day.
Lani looked over as Amber was sitting in her usual spot. Amber was stirring her tea with a spoon as she was staring off into the distance. She sighed as her cheeks were pink and her head was resting on her right hand.
"Amber, what's wrong with you.?" Lani asked.
"L-lani, you don't ask questions like that!" Rika said as she fell over.
"Nothing's wrong dear." Amber replied as she patted Lani on the head.
"Who are you and what have you done with the real Amber?!" Lani asked shocked.
"Yeah, you would reply to that question with, you should ask that to Rika." Rika said with equal shock.
"Oh Rika, your so funny." Amber said as she started laughing.
Rika and Lani stood there dumbfounded at what was going on in front of them. Amber was then abruptly slapped.
"Ow, what the?" Amber asked as she rubbed her head.
She looked back as Mallory was standing there with a large paper fan.
"Stop being happy." Mallory said as she glared at her.
Mallory then turned and walked away.
"I wonder what's up with Amber." Rika said as she folded her arms.
"I believe this attitude has happened before." Kira said as she came next to her.
"It has?" Cody asked confused.
"Now that I think about it." Rika replied. As she pondered it.
Flashback
"Who where you listening to?" Kira asked as she came over.
"The greatest violinist, next to me." Amber replied as she twirled in a pink sparkly void with large red hearts. "His beautiful playing makes my heart flutter. The Great Kaito Hiroshima."
"Hanigawa, Hiroshima." Rika said s she swayed her head from side to side. "What does this guy even look like?"
With that Amber forced the cd cover into Rikas face. On the cover was a man that looked like he was in his twentys. He had tan skin and black hair. He had emerald green eyes as he sat on a chair and held the violin in his right hand.
"He's such a beautiful man." Amber said as her eyes sparkled.
- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The next day Amber arrived at the café at her normal time. But this time she had a HUGE smile on her face.
"What's wrong with Amber?" Kira asked Rika.
"I don't know, but it scares me." Rika replied as she hide behind Kira.
"Oneechan, what happened to you?" Lani asked as she came up to Amber.
"The best thing in the world my dear." Amber replied as she patted Lanis head.
"And that would be?" Rika asked as they all gathered around her.
"I get to play a concert with Kaito Hiroshima tomorrow!!" Amber replied happily.
End Flashback
"Why does she keep patting me on the head?" Lani asked as she folded her arms angrily.
"Either way, this means she's in love." Kira said softly.
Ambers eyes bulged as she heard this.
"I-I AM NOT IN LOVE!" Amber yelled at them as her cheeks flushed.
"You look it." Cody replied as he smirked.
"So who's the guy?" Rika asked as she scooted over to Amber.
"N-No one!" Amber replied as she tried to get way.
"So is Mr. No one cute?" Rika asked she got an evil look in her eye.
"So cute." Amber said to herself.
"Nani?" Lani asked as she put an ear to Ambers mouth.
"Personal space!" Amber yelled as she pushed Lani away.
"So do you and Mr. No one have a concert coming up?" Kira asked softly.
"This Saturday." Amber replied as she twiddled with her fingers.
"I heard that!" Rika said happily. "You all know what this means!"
"We're gonna go to a concert!" The rest yelled in unison.
"No your not!" Amber yelled as she slammed her hands on the table and stood up.
"I don't think so." Rika replied. "The last time you were in love there was a Chimera attack at your performance."
"T-that doesn't mean anything!" Amber replied as she folded her arms and looked away.
"Either way." Rika said. "We're going to make sure that your not attacked again."
"O come on!" Amber yelled at them.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Tarish smirked as she watched this in the red dimension.
"Those brats want another fight?" Tarish said as she got out Trillians laptop. "I'll give them a fight."
She typed on the laptop as a light exploded from it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I've never been to Ambers concert before." Rika said softly.
She and Drake walked through the park as the sun was setting.
"I hear her concerts are spectacular." Drake replied. "It's almost impossible to get tickets."
"I'm more excited to see it now." Rika said as she smiled up at Drake. "I can't wait until we go to it."
Drake smiled as Rika put her arm around his. She then leaned her head on his shoulder as they continued to walk.

"That was a fine practice today Madame." Hans said as he left the auditorium.
"Thanks Hans." Amber replied as she lowered her violin.
She looked up as Toshiro stood up from the piano. Amber then looked around as they were alone in the auditorium.
"So, um, how long have you played the piano." Amber asked as her cheeks went pink.
"Well I remember as far back as two." Toshiro replied as he thought about it. "So I'd say about 11 years."
"Me to!" Amber said stunned.
"Really?" Toshiro replied equally stunned.
"C-Can you show me a couple things on the piano?" Amber asked as she looked down at the ground.
"Sure." Toshiro replied.
Amber looked up and smiled. She walked over and placed her violin on top of the piano. She then took a seat next to him.
"First place your fingers openly on the keys." Toshiro said as he showed an example.
Amber did the same. The keys felt smooth and cool as they gleamed in the light.
"Now try to imitate these few notes." Toshiro said.
He then played three keys. Amber pressed a couple keys. They sounded nothing like the ones he played as they were horribly out of tune.
"Here, let me try something." Toshiro said as he scooted closer to her.
He lifted her hands and put them on top of his. Ambers cheeks went red as her hands sat on his.
"Maybe this will help you feel what it's like." Toshiro said softly.
He put his fingers to the keys as Ambers fingers were laying over his. He then started to play as Ambers hands stayed on his. His fingers glided along as Ambers followed. Amber closed her eyes as it felt like she was playing the piano. She felt herself drift as the beautiful piano music took her away. Hours that felt like minutes flew by as she felt like she was outside of time.
"Amber." a voice called to her.
She softly opened her eyes as she was still at the piano. She looked around as her hands weren't on Toshiro's anymore. One was by her side while another was by his side. Her head was resting on his shoulder as she could hear him softly call to her.
"Amber." he called again.
She slowly raised her head as she looked around. She looked over as her eyes met his.
"G-gomene, I must have dosed off." Amber said quickly sat up.
"It's fine." Toshiro replied with a smile.
"Thanks for showing me the piano." Amber said softly as she stood up.
"No problem." Toshiro replied.
"I-I'll see you tomorrow, Toshiro-san." Amber said as she grabbed her violin.
"See ya." Toshiro replied as she left.
He sat there in the empty auditorium.
"Toshiro-san, eh?" he said as he smiled.
The rest of the week flew by as the time for the concert had come.
"Finally, we're going to Ambers concert!" Lani said as she jumped up and down on a table.
"Lani, how many times do I have to tell you to get off the table!" Kira yelled as she tried to get her off.
"Come on everyone, we're closing now." Rika called as she was near the door.
The others followed as they all exited the café. Meanwhile Amber was getting ready backstage. She was wearing a sea foam tube top green dress that went down to the floor. It had green lacing and green see-through adornments. She had a white collared necklace on as her hair was pulled back. She had diamond earrings on as she looked beautiful.
"Just one more touch." Amber said as she tucked her pendant into her dress. "And there!"
She then walked over and took out her violin. She cleaned it off until it shimmered in the light. She tuned it and rosined her bow. She held it as she walked out of her dressing room. Ass she did she looked over and saw Toshiro. He was in a black tuxedo and looked handsome. Ambers cheeks flushed as she saw them. He looked over and saw her.
"Wow." he said amazed. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you." Amber replied as she looked down at the ground and flushed. "You look great to."
"See that's not fair." Toshiro replied as he put his hands on his hips. "You got a beautiful and I get a great?"
"Fine." Amber replied as she looked at him. "You look beautiful in that tux."
"I think I'll stick with great." Toshiro chuckled as he scratched the back of his head.
They both chuckled.
"Five minutes until we begin." Hans said to them.
"Well I guess we better get over there." Toshiro said with a smile.
Amber nodded as they walked over to the stage. They waited behind the curtain as the lights dimmed. A feeling came over Amber as her hands started to shake.
"Eh, w-what is this feeling?" Amber thought as her hands continued to shake. "I've never gotten stage fright before in my life!"
Toshiro looked down as he noticed her hands. He bought his hands up and put them on hers.
"It'll be alright." he said softly as he looked into her eyes.
Amber felt herself stop shaking as her cheeks went pink. The audience applauded as they both stepped out onto the stage. They both bowed to each other as Toshiro then took a seat at the piano. Amber looked over and nodded as they were about to play. A strong wind then went through the whole auditorium.
"W-what's going on?" Rika asked as they were sitting in the audience.
The air then vibrated as Tarish appeared.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen!" Tarish said in a menacing voice.
The Chimera Animal then took shape next to her. It had red eyes and was in the shape of a woman. Only it was made completely out of wind. It roared as everyone screamed. It swatted it's hand as a loud whistling wind went through the entire theatre. People got up and left the building quickly.
"Tarish!" Amber whispered in shock.
Tarish looked back at her.
"Chimera Animal! Get her!" Tarish yelled and pointed at her.
The Chimera Animal looked back and swatted it's hand. Amber braced herself as she saw the wind head for her.
"No!" Toshiro said as he jumped in front of her.
"TOSHIRO-SAN!!" Amber screamed.
The wind slammed into them as they both sailed into the back of the stage.
"That does it!" Rika yelled as she got onto a seat.
"Mew Mew Rika!"
"Mew Mew Kira!"
"Mew Mew Lani!"
"Mew Mew Mallory!"
"Mew Cody!"
"Metamorphosis!"
"Henshi!"
Rika softly kissed the pendant as it exploded with light. Rika stood in a blue sparkling background naked. Bands of orange light swirled towards her as she twirled. They wrapped over her body as she had a tube-top shirt that covered her breasts and left her chest bare. She also had on what looked like orange two-piece swim bottoms. She then swayed her hips back and forth as a orange mini-skirt formed over the bottoms. She then jumped down as the background was now green as orange cat ears appeared and an orange tail popped out from under the skirt. She reached out both of her arms a orange puff things appeared on her upper arms and orange wrist bands appeared. She then lifted up her left leg as long boots covered her legs up to her upper leg and stopped. A leg band then covered the rest of her right leg. She twirled as the pendant was hung from a thick orange collar necklace.
Kira softly kissed the pendant as it erupted with blue light. She dipped low with it as she was naked and put her pendant on her back. She the put her arms out as shining, blue butterfly wings appeared on her back. The wings the wrapped around her body as she leaned backwards. She then went forwards as the wings disappeared and she had on a tight, form-showing, deep blue vest that showed her belly button and light blue swim like bottoms. Kira then ran to a balance beam and did a flip over it as a dark sapphire skirt with slits on either side appeared. She then got off the balance beam and ran to rings that hung from thick string. She grabbed onto them and twirled three times. Blue boots appeared that went up a little further than her knees appeared with a leg band on her left leg. Puff things then appeared on her upper arms. As arm bands covered her lower arms except her hands. Se then jumped down from the rings as her butterfly wings swirled and then opened up. The pendant hung off of a thick blue, fabric, chocker necklace.
Lani kissed the pendant as it erupted with a bright golden light. Lani held it in her right hand. She put her left hand over it as her mark glowed brightly. She then removed her hands as the pendant was gone. She then put her hands to her side. As she did pulses came out as a yellow tube top body suit that covered half of her upper legs appeared. The pulses grew as yellow boots that reached to her knees appeared. A yellow leg band also appeared on her left leg. She then reached out her hands as yellow puff things appeared on her upper arms. Yellow gloves then appeared as they reached up to her elbows. Pulses then came out of her head as large ears the formed. A yellow band of fabric then covered her neck as the pendant became a chocker necklace.
Mallory held out the pendant and softly kissed it as she was naked. The pendant turned into light as it went above Mallory. It then turned into a ring as it went from Mallory's head down to her feet. As it did Mallory had a short white tube top shirt and long black pants and silver sneakers. She put out her arms as the light went to her back A long sleeve-less black coat appeared. She then made fists with her arms as black gloves that went up to her upper arms appeared. Brown buckles with silver locks appeared at the end of the gloves. The light then went around her neck as it then became a black chocker necklace with the pendant hanging down.
Cody stood in a fiery red void naked. He looked up as a Red Hawk flew over to him. It turned to light as it wrapped around him. The light turned into a loose white tank top and long black pants. A band of red connected the two. He reached out his arms as on his left he got a silver arms band on his upper arm. On his other arm a thick red ribbon tied around his upper arm and the swirled around the rest of his arm. Red shoes appeared on his feet as large white wings sprouted from his back. A final red band went around his neck and turned into a red chocker necklace with his pendant hanging from it.
"For the sake of these performers, we'll be of service! Nya!" Rika yelled as they were transformed.
"Your Mine!" Tarish yelled as she dove down to them.
Toshiro and Amber slowly came to. Toshiro was covering Amber as they were on the ground.
"Toshiro-san." Amber said softly.
"Amber, run." Toshiro said as he got off of her.
"I can't do that!" Amber said as she swayed her head back and forth.
A roar then caught their attention. They both looked over as the monster blew more wind to them. It slammed into them as their clothes got small rips. The wall behind them got cracks as it was quickly unstable. The wind then subsided. The monster bought it's hand up and threw another gust of wind at them.
"What should I do? We can't take another hit!" Amber thought to herself.
She then closed her eyes and opened them again. Only this time she was mad.
"Mew Mew Amber! Metamorphosis!"
Toshiro looked over at her shocked as Amber started to glow green.
Amber softly kissed the pendant as she stood in front of an aqua background. She then softly placed the pendant on her mark as it shone bright. She then felt herself swirl in a whirlpool of bubbles. The bubbles then suck to her body. A deep green tube top bathing suit like piece came over her body. A piece of fabric on either side of it then came up and latched onto the pendant. Thus creating a triangle shape. In the front two small triangles came out as two long ones came out in the back. Amber lifted her arms as puff things appeared on the upper arms and light green gloves appeared over her hands with a white border. She then pointed out her legs as green boots appeared up to her knees. A leg band then went on her upper left leg. A green thick collar fabric then made a necklace with her pendant as the jewel.
"Aqua Trident!" Amber yelled as her weapon landed in her hands. "Ribbon- Aqueous Burst!"
She pointed her trident at the monster. The water streamed out and slammed into the monster. It reeled back from the blow as the wind died down. Tarish looked over as she saw this.
"Mew Rika, now!" Amber yelled at her.
Rika nodded as she jumped onto Tarish's shoulder and then jumped into the air.
"Solar Medallion!" Rika yelled as her weapon appeared. "Light Transformation 1! Ribbon- Tiger Heart Check!"
The beam of light shot out at the monster. It roared as it was then consumed.
"This isn't over!" Tarish yelled as she teleported away.
"Looks pretty over to me!" Lani yelled back.
"Why did I even bother transforming?" Mallory asked herself angrily.
"Toshiro-san, are you alright?" Amber asked as she knelt down next to him.
"Amber, y-your…" Toshiro tried to say.
"It would be really great if the press didn't know about this." Amber said with a smile.
Toshiro smiled as they both chuckled.
