Sorry for the delay. Enjoy!!

Rika groaned as she mopped up the floors.

"You missed a spot." Amber said as she pointed at the ground.

She then took a sip of tea as she was in her usual spot.

"Yea, I did." Rika muttered as she was an inch from forcing the mop into her face.

She then felt something pull her. In a second she and Amber were in the kitchen with Kira, Cody, and Lani.

"What the?" Rika asked confused.

"What's going on?!" Amber asked angrily. "I was in the middle of my three o'clock tea time. You better hav-"

Lani and Kira quickly covered her mouth . Amber then pushed them off.

"What's is wrong with you two?" Amber asked infuriated.

"It's Mallory's birthday!" Lani whispered to her.

"Really?" Rika yelled out.

Kira and Lani covered her mouth as they shushed her.

"Yes really!" Kira whispered.

"Wait, how did you two find out?" Amber asked confused.

"We did a super and a highly complicated technique of hacking and super stealth." Lani said with pride.

Rika and Amber sighed and looked at Kira.

"Eric asked us to clean the computer room." Kira said with a smile. "And Lani slipped on some of the mop water for the floor. She hit the computer and pressed some keys and Mallory's profile came up."

"I liked my story better." Lani muttered as she folded her arms.

"You would." Cody replied.

"I can't believe today is Mallory's birthday." Amber said as she took it in.

"Lets plan a party." Rika said excited.

"You think she would want a party?" Kira asked.

"Who doesn't want a party on their birthday?" Rika replied as she smirked.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Amber muttered.

"Lets make a cake!" Lani said happily.

"We'll have to hurry though, Mallory's shift starts soon." Cody said as she checked the clock.

"Alright, you three can start on the cake." Rika said with a nod. "Amber and I will keep Mallory busy until it's done."

"Why do I have to help you?" Amber asked annoyed.

"Just come on." Rika replied as she rolled her eyes.

She grabbed her wrist and dragged her out.

"Alright guys, let's get cooking!" Kira said as she rolled up her sleeves.

Mallory sighed as she sat her coffee cup down. She sat in a chair at the coffee house.

"And from then on my skies have been black." a reader finished.

Mallory snapped her fingers along with everyone in the coffee house. She looked over as a clock was on the wall. She sighed as she stood up.

"Here." Mallory said as she paid the woman.

"Where you off to so early Mal?" the woman replied as she took the money.

"To hell." Mallory replied with a groan. "And the names Mallory."

"You must be pretty desperate if you took a job at that café." she said with a chuckle.

"Whatever." Mallory said as she went for the door.

"Wait, Mallory." the woman said.

Mallory stopped and turned.

"It's 'that day', isn't it." she said softly.

Mallory didn't respond. She looked down at the ground and then left the coffee house. She walked down the sidewalk until she made it to the park. The sky was gray and overcast as a cold wind blew over everything. She walked by the fountain as it wasn't on. Leaves were floating in it as Mallory looked at her reflection in it.

"Today." Mallory said softly.

Flashback

A young Mallory sat in a black void. Tears streamed down her face as here eyes were wide. Two people walked away from her as a light was in front of them.

"Mom, Dad, WAIT!" she screamed out.

The two people disappeared as the light vanished and she was left alone.

End Flashback

Mallory swayed her head as she refocused. She turned towards the café.

"Time to get this over with." Mallory thought to herself.

She entered and went to the back. She got changed into her uniform and then exited. She sighed as she leaned against the wall.

"Ohayo, Mallory-sama!" Rika said enthusiastically.

Mallory glared at her as Rika smiled at her.

"What?" Mallory asked annoyed.

"It's nothing." Rika replied as she walked away.

"Weirdo." Mallory muttered to herself.

She sighed as she looked over. Matt was standing next to her.

"What do you want?" Mallory asked.

"Did I say I wanted anything?" Matt replied.

"Then why are you here?" Mallory asked.

"Well, let's see, it's my café, and I feel like standing here." Matt said as he put his hands in his pockets. "You have a problem with that?"

"God, what's with everyone today?" Mallory asked herself as she started to walk away. "Everyone's acting stupider than usual."

"Isn't today special?" Matt asked.

Mallory stopped as he said this. She looked back as her and his eyes connected.

"SURPRISE!!" The five yelled out.

They all came out of the kitchen with the cake. It was a beautiful chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It had black icing for the bordering as it said HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALLORY in the center with black frosting. There little black candles lit as the four were smiling happily at her. Mallory gasped as she was startled.

"Happy Birthday Mallory!" The four sang out in unison.

Mallory looked at them and then down at the cake.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles!" Lani cheered.

Mallory frowned angrily as she bough her hand up. She swatted the cake out of their hands as it fell to the ground. It smashed onto the ground as it splattered and was completely ruined.

"What the?" Cody asked shocked.

"You idiots!" Mallory yelled at them. "Like I would ever want to celebrate today!"

"B-but it's your birthday." Lani replied as tears welded up in her eyes.

"Today is the worst day of my life!" Mallory yelled at her.

"Why?" Kira asked softly.

"Like hell I would tell you!" Mallory yelled at her.

Rika grunted unable to take it.

"Mallory, that's enough!" Rika yelled at her. "It's one thing to not want to celebrate your birthday, but this is to cruel!"

Mallory and Rika stared at each other for a moment.

"Whatever." Mallory said coldly.

She turned and exited the café.

"What should we do now?" Kira asked softly.

"Let's clean it up." Rika said as she stooped down to the ground.

"It was the first cake I ever made." Lani said as a tear fell down her cheek.

Matt saw this as he gasped. His eyes got angry as he looked at the entrance. He then left the café.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"I need to think of a good plan to get those Mews." Tarish said as she typed on the laptop.

She cringed as she was still cut up. Her fingers slipped as she pressed a few keys. The screen lit up as Tarish gasped.

"Yes!" Tarish said as her eyes gleamed. "This is perfect!"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Matt looked around the park.

"Where would Mallory go?" Matt asked himself.

He then smirked as he figured it out. He exited the park and headed for the coffee house. He entered and took a seat. The small stage lit up with a single light. Mallory stood on the stage.

"Today I will be reciting a Haiku. The title is, black. " Mallory said. "The Night is very black. Nothing makes a sound in it. Just liked my soul."

The light faded as everyone snapped their fingers. Matt watched her as she stepped off the stage. She walked through the place. His eyes connected with hers. Mallory grunted as she quickly left. Matt got up out of his seat and exited. Mallory walked down the sidewalk as he followed her. Mallory turned into the park and into the woods. Matt kept following her.

"Why the hell are you following me?!" Mallory asked as she stopped and looked at him.

"Why?" Matt asked.

"Why what?" Mallory asked confused.

He then pointed a finger at her.

"You destroyed you own cake." Matt replied. "Did you even see their faces when you did that?"

"Who cares about them!" Mallory said angrily.

Matt frowned as he bought his hand up. Mallory looked him in the eyes and didn't flinch. He stopped half an inch from Mallory's cheek.

"Why did you stop?" Mallory asked softly.

"Your not even worth hitting anymore." Matt replied as he put his hand in his pocket.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"I can't believe she would do this." Cody said silently.

The five finished cleaning the mess as they sighed.

"Chimera Animal! Chimera Animal!" Masha beeped loudly.

"Lead the way Masha!" Rika said with a nod.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Nani?" Mallory said shocked.

"I used to think you were just wandering, and looking for an escape." Matt said as he stared into her eyes. "But now I see your truly lost, and your not even looking for your escape."

"What do you know about me?!" Mallory yelled as small tears came into her eyes. "My life has been nothing but pain! How can you possibly say that you know me! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!"

A minute of silence passed between them. Mallory then sat down on the ground.

"It happened today, 18 years ago." Mallory said softly. "My mother and father had me…."

Flashback

"Congratulations, you both had a baby girl." a nurse said as she handed them the baby.

A woman with long black hair and coal eyes laid in a hospital bed. A man with silver hair and silver eyes stood next to her. The woman took the baby as the nurse left the room.

"What should we do?" the woman asked as she looked at the baby.

"Can we really handle her?" the man asked.

"Well first she deserves a name." the woman said. "Her name is Mallory, because she really is unfortunate."

The man sighed and nodded his head in agreement.

"What do you want to do?" he asked.

"We can try raising her." the woman replied as she looked at him.

The man nodded his head in agreement.

"Mommy look, I drew a picture for you!" Little Mallory said with a smile.

She was five years old as she ran into a room in her house. In her hand was a scribble drawing on her, her mom, and her dad. Her eyes glowed as she was excited. Her mother was sitting at a desk and talking on a phone.

"No, those figures won't do!" she yelled into it. "I said I wanted those boxes shipped to France by noon tomorrow!"

"Mommy, look." Mallory said as she pulled on her shirt.

"Mallory go into the other room right now!" Her mother replied angrily. "I'm on a very important call and your disrupting me!"

Mallory's face became downcast as she trudged off into the other room. She passed by a waste basket and put her picture in it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Little Mallory sighed as she laid in her bed. She could hear he voices of her mother and her father fighting. It suddenly became quiet. Mallory got out of her bed and tip-toed downstairs. She peaked out as she saw her parents.

"I-I can't handle this anymore." her mother said as she sat down on the sofa.

"I'm just going to say it then." her father said as he sighed. "I want a divorce."

A moment of silence passed between them.

"I want that to." her mother said silently. "But what will we do about Mallory?"

"That's the only difficult part." her father said as she sat down.

"I can't take her." her mother said.

"Neither can I." her father replied.

"Then what should we do?" her mother asked.

"I say we put her in an orphanage." her father said as he stood up. "I'll call my lawyer and have him draw up the paper work tomorrow."

Mallory gasped as she heard this. Tears formed in her eyes as she ran back up to her room. She jumped into her bed and pulled her covers over her head. She buried her head in her pillow as she cried.

End Flashback

"I stayed at that orphanage for 13 years." Mallory said softly. "No one ever wanted me, and I didn't want any of them. When I became 18 I was kicked out because I was to old and people considered me an adult. So I've been wandering around, trying to get a job and try to forget everything. I should be happy that I became a Mew Mew, it's probably the only way I could get a job, be forced into one."

Tears started to fall from her eyes. Matt gasped as he saw this.

"It's just hard though, to know that no one wants me." Mallory said as her cheeks reddened. "To know that I'm not loved, that no one needs me. I feel so alone."

Matt got down on the ground and put his arms around her. Mallory gasped as this happened.

"We want you." Matt said softly to her. "All of us at the café love you, and the world needs you."

"Matt." Mallory said softly.

"Mew Mew Rika!"

"Mew Mew Amber!"

"Mew Mew Kira!"

"Mew Mew Lani!"

"Metamorphosis!"

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.

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.

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.

"Mew Cody! Henshi!"

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.

Rika, Amber, and Lani landed on the roof tops as Cody and Kira hovered in the air.

"Where is it?" Lani asked as she looked around.

"Look, down there!" Kira said as she pointed.

On another roof top was what looked like a skeleton on fire. It growled as it walked across the roof top. Rika, Amber, and Lani jumped off the roof as Cody and Kira grabbed their arms. They flew them over to the other roof and set them down.

"Hey Chimera Animal!" Rika yelled at it.

It looked over ay them and growled.

"For the sake of the earth, we'll be of service! Nya!" Rika said as they all posed.

The monster roared as fire shot out of it's mouth.

"Split Up!" Rika yelled.

The others obeyed as they all scattered.

"Let me handle this one!" Amber said. "Aqua Trident!"

Her weapon appeared as it landed in her hands.

"Ribbon- Aqueous Burst!" Amber yelled as she pointed it at the monster.

The water came out and headed for the monster. The fire slammed into the water. Ambers attack evaporated as the fire disappeared.

"She did it!" Lani said happily.

The monster roared as it shot out another burst of fire. This one however seemed larger and more intense. It headed right for Amber.

"Ribbon- Aqueous Burst!" Amber yelled as she pointed her trident at the fire.

It hit as her attack evaporated, but the fire didn't disappear. It grew larger as it headed for her.

"Look Out!" Kira yelled as she flew over to her.

She grabbed Amber and flew away. The fire barely singed hem as she landed for from it. Kira grunted as she set Amber down with everyone. She then grabbed her wing.

"Mew Kira, what's wrong?" Amber asked concerned.

"It's nothing." Kira replied with a grunt.

"Let's see." Rika said.

She softly removed Kiras hand as her wing was burned.

"Can you still fly?" Cody asked concerned.

Kira tried to flap her wings.

"I can't." Kira replied as she stopped. "It's to painful."

Rika looked over as another flame was heading for them.

"Solar Medallion!" Rika yelled as her weapon appeared. "Light Transformation 2! Celestial Shield!"

The shield appeared as she put it out in front of her. The fire slammed into the shield as it protected all of them.

"Thanks Mew Rika." Kira said as the fire died down.

"Eric, can you hear me." Rika said into her pendant.

"Loud and clear Mew Rika." Eric replied.

"We need Trillian, Kiras injured." Rika said.

"I'll let her know." Eric said.

"Now that that's over." Rika said as she turned to the others. "Cody, you need to get her out of here. Lani, Amber, and I will go after the monster."

Cody nodded as he picked Kira up and flew away.

"You two mind being the distraction?" Rika asked as she looked at them.

"Leave it to me!" Amber replied with a smile.

"That monster won't know what hit it!" Lani said happily.

Rika smiled at them. She then grabbed her shield as it turned back to her medallion.

"Let's go!" Rika said.

Amber and Lani took off running towards the monster.

"Ribbon- Aqueous Burst!" Amber yelled as she pointed her trident at the monster.

"Sonic Recorder!" Lani yelled as her recorder appeared. "Ribbon- Sonic Pulse!"

She blew out the notes as the pulses came out. Her attack merged with Ambers as the water split apart into multiple balls of water. It slammed into the monster as it groaned.

"Mew Rika, Now!" Amber yelled.

"Light Transformation 1!" Rika yelled as her medallion transformed. "Ribbo-"

The monster roared as fire exploded from all over its body. Rika, Amber, and Lani flew back from then power. They hit the roof hard.

"It's to strong." Lani said as she tried to stand.

"Don't give up." Rika said as she got to her feet.

"Mew Rika." Amber said softly.

The monster roared as it moved towards Rika. Rika gasped as this happened. A blade suddenly shot forward and wrapped around the monsters neck. It roared as it was pulled back. Everyone looked up as Mallory was on a higher up part of the roof.

Flashback

"Mallory, you there?" Erics voice echoed from her pendant.

"What?" Mallory asked as she took out her pendant.

"The girls are in trouble and Kira has been wounded." Eric voice replied to her.

"Gotcha." Mallory replied.

She paused and looked into Matts eyes.

"Go, right now those five need you." Matt said with a smile.

Mallory nodded as she stood up and started running. She then stopped and looked back.

"Hey Matt, if you tell anyone about what happened I'll kill you." Mallory said as she looked back at him.

Matt smirked as he got up. Mallory smiled at him, turned, and kept on running.

"Mew Mew Mallory! Metamorphosis!"

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.

"Everyone, wait for me." Mallory said as she was transformed.

End Flashback

"Mallory!" Rika said happily.

"She came!" Lani said with glee.

"Thank goodness." Amber said with a sigh.

Kiras eyes twinkled as she saw this. The air then vibrated next to her as Trillian appeared.

"Trillian-chan." Kira said softly.

"Don't worry, I'll have your wound healed up in no time." Trillian said as her hands started to glow a soft green.

"Ribbon- Death Chain!" Mallory yelled as she pulled back.

The monster went flying into the air as Mallory made a fist. She twirled her scythe stick as the chain wrapped around her fist. The monster came towards her as she slammed her fist into the monsters head. It was a direct hit as the monster flew and slammed into the roof.

"Nice!" Rika said happily.

"Mew Rika, Now!" Mallory yelled at her.

"As I was saying before!" Rika yelled as she ran to the monster. "Ribbon- Tiger Heart Check!"

The beam of light came out of her weapon as it slammed into the monster. It roared as it disappeared.

"You guys did it!" Lani said as she and Amber ran over to them.

Mallory jumped down to their level and walked over to them.

"Mallory, thanks for coming." Rika said with a smile.

"About earlier." Mallory said. "I just wan to say…..I'm……"

The three closed in on her.

"I'm…..I-I'm….." Mallory continued. "I'm sorry."

"Mallory-oneesama apologized!" Lani cheered happily.

She jumped onto Mallory and started hugging her.

"Apology accepted." Rika replied with a smile.

Mallory's face softened as she smiled sweetly at them. The others faces went blue as they saw this.

"M-Mallory's smiling." Amber said shaking.

"The apocalypse must be near." Rika moaned.

"Every time Mallory smiles a child is mourning." Lani said in a mono-tone voice.

"YOU IDIOTS!" Mallory yelled angrily at them.

"Hey guys, what'd I miss?" Kira asked as she, Cody, and Trillian flew over.

"Mallory smiled at us!" Lani said as she pointed at her.

"Don't be ridiculous, Mallory doesn't smile." Kira replied as she folded her arms.

"I don't think Mallory CAN smile." Cody said as he thought about it.

"Mallory show them tha-" Rika started to say.

She turned to where Mallory was standing but she was gone.

"EEHHH!! WHERE DID SHE GO?!" Rika asked shocked.

Mallory smiled as she watched from another building.

"Those guys." Mallory said softly.

She then turned and jumped away.

Well, I don't know what was wrong with Mallory in the first place, or why she smiled at us. But it seems that everything worked out!

Next Time: Heart And Soul!

This is weird, normally Chimera Animals are deranged and don't think. But this one, she's different from all the others.
