As the students were getting out of math class, Harley took Carla and Danna to the girls' room. When they got in, no one else was there. Harley polished her glasses and saw that she had a mew mark shaped like a bear's head on her forehead. Carla looked in the mirror and saw that she has the mark of a manta ray on her left arm, and Danna removed her jacket to see that she has a Mew Mark shaped like a feather on her back, just like Mew Mew Mint.

"This is a little out of hand," Carla replied. "They're not as worst as tattoos, because I'm not allowed to get tattoos."

Out of the girl's bathroom, they saw a handsome Latino boy with shoulder-length dark brown hair and preppy clothing. "Hola, Rodrigo," said Carla.

"Hola, Hermana," replied Rodrigo. "I was gonna go to my weekly karate classes, tomorrow and I was wondering if you could bring your two friends, Danna and Honey along."

"Really?" asked Carla. "That's great."

Danna and Harley were amazed because they're going to be joined by the older brother of one of their friends. They also remembered that they have a weekend science assignment on rats. "We really need to pass," Danna replied. "My mom is very serious about my grades."

"I thought your mom was a little care-free," asked Carla.

"She is," Danna replied. "But she knew that if I wanna get into the Genius Dancer Program back in Haiti, I must have good grades between C to A."

"That's a relief," Harley replied. "I had a friend who's parents wanted him to have all As they need to lighten up."

"Speaking of lightening up," Carla asked, "How is your tio?"

"You mean my Uncle Allen?" Harley asked. "He's a little stressed out after he saw some trouble in the cafeteria. Someone got the last sour cream and onion potato chips and ended up getting salt and vinegar, which he hates."

"Maybe your uncle should try new chip flavors," Danna suggested. "After eating sour cream and onion chips all the time, he'll get bored of it."

"Okay," replied Harley, "just as long as Uncle Allen remembers to eat something healthy before we go. I don't want him to gain more weight."

Meanwhile, on his spaceship, Poach was going around the place, looking for a new animal victim to help him drain the life out of Earth. A fabulous alien with '80s apparel and sea patterns. It was his sea-expert, Crossni Laupelt.

"So, boss," asked Crossni in a demonic New York accent, "what rat are we going to poach today?"

"A rat, of course," Poach replied. "Tomorrow, we'll find a rat and make him bring those Mew Mews to us."

"You gonna give them physical punishments?" asked Crossni.

"Something like that," Poach replied.

The next day at the mall, Harley was escorting an overweight man in a suit. "Okay, Uncle Allen," said Harley. "Snacky Shelter is now serving healthy potato chips. Just get the baked ones and not the fat-free ones, I read online that they contain chemicals."

"You got it, Harley," replied Dean Dennis in an Australian accent, "I've been so worried about my cholesterol lately, I'm afraid I won't go to our spring trip to the amusement park this year."

"Uncle," Harley replied, "you always ride the carousels and ferries wheels nonstop. Plus you ride the kiddie rides."

"Right," recalled Dean Dennis.

At Snacky Shelter, Harley came up to Danna and Carla, who were enjoying some healthy candy apples. "Sorry we're late," replied Harley. "Uncle Allen couldn't decide on what to wear, and he had to check if there are any sneezes on them."

Carla and Danna were both worried. "Principal Dennis," asked Danna, "are you sure you're ready for trying out those healthy potato chips?"

"I sure am," replied Dean Dennis. "Now let me go at it."

Carla became confused, saying, "I thought he was called *Dean* Dennis."

"Sometimes he goes by Principal Dennis, sometimes Dean Dennis," Danna replied. "People say things differently."

"Like how you say Her Royal Lilithness," Lilith said from behind. She and her posse were coming out of Fabulina's Finewear, an expensive dress shop.

"Hello, Lilith," replied Harley, "Let's all kneel before Queen Lilith."

Carla and Danna laughed at Harley's joke. "This is your last chance to quit, Dennis," Lilith replied. "Your uncle is nothing more than a big coward. All he ever does is make big fusses over minor things like paper cuts and ice machines being out of ice."

"He may be a worrywart," Harley replied, "but he's still my uncle."

"Whatever," replied Lilith. "Let's go to Pied Piper's Pranks."

Meanwhile, in the storage rooms of the mall, a rat was going around the place when a McCart Bug controlled him. "Listen here, rat," Poach said. "Destroy the shopping mall and drain the life from there."

Within three seconds, the rat turned into a monster.

Harley started talking non-stop about the history of karate with her friends when the McCart Rat attacked the mall. It was up to Carla, Danna, and Honey to save the day.

Mew Mew Cupcake had dark blue clothes and a manta ray tail, Mew Mew Dumpling had orange clothes and cockatoo feathers, and Mew Mew Honey had tan clothes and a bear tail. From their hands were their weapons.

"I think we should name these ourselves," suggested Mew Mew Honey.

"Si," replied Mew Mew Cupcake. "I'll call this the Sprinkle Frisbee."

"And I've got one," Mew Mew Dumpling replied. "Crested Umbrella. What about you, Har?"

"And the Beary Bow," Mew Mew Honey said.

As they were fighting off the rat monster, they accidentally wound up on the stage of "The Happy Lamb Fun Show."

"Who are those extras up there?" asked Dean Dennis from the audience. "She rarely looks like my niece without her glasses."

Mew Mew Honey knew that they had to improvise.

Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,

Mew Mew Style In Your Face

With one shot from their weapons, the rat monster turned back into a normal rat. Everyone thought it was part of the show, so they cheered.

"Carla!" shouted Rodrigo from a distance. "Donde estas!"

Mew Mew Cupcake knew that Rodrigo would be looking for Carla. As they got off the stage and into an empty girl's room, they changed back to their original forms.

Carla rushed up to her older brother, who was already in his karate ghee. "Hermano," greeted Carla as she hugged her brother. "I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Me too," replied Rodrigo. "I checked in all stores for you, but I never thought you would be near the Happy Lambs' mall show."

"We should go to your classes," Carla said. "Perhaps you could teach me a few things too."

"Wait for me," called Danna. "I could learn some self-defense."

As Carla and Danna took off for Rodrigo's class, Harley came up to her uncle. "Hey, Uncle Allen," Honey said to her uncle. "What did I miss?"

"Nothing," replied Dean Dennis, "except for these three girls with animal costumes came up. One of them looks kind of like you."

Harley nervously adjusted her glasses. "That's theater," she replied. "Where did you go after we took off for a little chat in the food court?"

"I saw some Happy Lambs entertaining the kids and I followed them," Dean Dennis replied, "but the workers caught me leaving without paying for the 5 bags of potato chips. I saved a cheddar and sour cream flavor for you because I knew how much you love that flavor."

"Thanks," replied Harley as she ate a chip. "Just don't ever do that again. My dad is worried about you."

Then they sat back to watch the rest of the Happy Lamb show.

Monday came, and Carla, Danna, and Harley all got an A- on their project. The teacher was amazed by what they knew about rats and how they could live in some buildings. Plus, it was a better idea for them to release them in the wild instead of killing them for their safety.

Dean Dennis came in with a weekly room inspection. "I'm glad to see you all learning a few things," he replied. "I would've gone crazy if you guys were slacking off in class."

"That's what we get for having a slacker dean," Lilith insulted as her posse laughed at him.

Dean Dennis was annoyed by the insult. "Lilith," he replied, "I'm afraid that's detention for you."

"Anything but that, Dean Dennis," said Lilith. "I've got some makeovers to do."

"Sorry, Lilith," Dean Dennis replied, "but rules are rules."

After class, Carla, Danna, and Harley ran into Rodrigo again. "Dean Dennis just gave Lilith detention for insulting him," explained Carla.

"That's too bad," Rodrigo said. "I always believed that females were more innocent."

"You think every girl is innocent," replied Carla.

"You girls wanna come over to my dorm after class?" Rodrigo asked. "Me and the boys are going to watch the original 'Kung Fu Child'."

All three of them looked and said, "Yes."

The End.
