-Mint: Yeah.
-Raisu: We'll go through the city park, the hotel is on the other side.
-%A few minutes later...%
-(All 6 of them are in the middle of a wooded city park. The park at first glance looks like a small chunk of a densly wooded forest in the middle of a city.)
-Mint: It seems a little quiet?
-Raisu: Yeah, not many people come to the park very often. But I love it here and come as often as I can. Its so pretty. #(^^)# ^It brings back memories...^
-Ichigo: Huh? Did you say something?
-Raisu: Oh!? No, nothing.
-*rustle rustle*
-Zakuro: What was that?
-Raisu: Probebly a little animal.
-*rustle*
-Ichigo: Eek! I-i-i-it came from over there in the bushes. #(O_o)#
-Raisu: *giggle* You don't need to worry, there aren't any dangerous animals here in the park. Come on! #(^^)#
-(Raisu turns back towards the direction they were going. Suddenly a large shaddow, like a bear, jumps out of the bushes where the Tokyo Mews were looking. The shaddowed creature lands right behind Raisu.)
