This is Clowgirl and I'm back! LET'S ROCK!

As noted in the last chapter, Colleen had been captured and apparently Kish was going to be her caretaker (all together now, GROUP SHUDDER).

"Let me GO!" Colleen struggled as Kish was bringing her somewhere she didn't want to go (then again, she didn't want to go anywhere with Kish). "Then you'd escape, and I'd get in trouble," Kish replied with a smug voice. "Here we go!" Kish said as stopped in front of his room's door. "Tell me you have a spare mattress in there, 'cause I don't want to sleep with you," Colleen asked as Kish opened the door. "No and it's not like we're going to have sex (this IS a PG-13 story after all, that and I wouldn't want to write that anyway)," replied Kish as he sat her on the bed. He untied her leg holds after putting her stuff in a corner. "Time for bed," Kish said happily as he jumped behind her on the bed. She went under the sheets trying to keep Kish away, but Kish (DAMN PERV) followed her under the sheets and held her tightly around her waist and pulled her close.

"If you just let me be your boyfriend, I'd make you and your friends jobs a LOT easier," Kish whispered in her ear, making chills go down her spine (shudder). He certainly seemed he wanted to keep her as his prisoner (weirdo). Soon Colleen fell asleep, wondering how she would get out of Kish's room and the aliens' ship.

Café' Mew Mew

"Where's Colleen, she should have been here by now," Ryou thought out loud as he sat in the Cafe's kitchen, staring at the wall as Keiichiro walked in. "What are you doing up?" Ryou asked as Keiichiro sat himself next to Ryou with a pastry from the fridge. "Couldn't get to sleep," Keiichiro replied as he took a bite out of the pastry. "Could you do a scan on Colleen's tracking collar," Ryou asked after Keiichiro finished the pastry. "Sure, let me go to the tracking room," said Keiichiro went out of the room. Ryou waited a few minutes then Keiichiro came back with a grim look on his face. "She's still at the aliens' headquarters," Keiichiro said grimly.

Kish's Room

Colleen woke up with a start, bathed in cold sweat again. She had that creepy nightmare again. Apparently she had woken Kish up. "What's wrong Colleen, "Kish asked as he sat up. "I'm going to use the bathroom," Colleen lied as she went out of the room. She went to the linen closet (after cleaning the place up she found out were everything was) and found a spare mattress and sheets and went back to Kish room because she thought the security would probably be tighter if she tried to escape. That and Pai probably put up a security system so she couldn't get away without tripping alarms. She set the mattress in Kish's room and fell asleep under the sheets.

A Few Hours Later

Kish woke up a few hours later and looked at the clock. 2:30 A.M. "I'm not getting much sleep tonight," he thought. He then felt around… Colleen was gone! Kish got up and got off his bed, then tripped. "What the… Well I found Colleen," he thought as he saw that he had tripped on Colleen. Unfortunately, he also woke Colleen up, which was not good for Kish. "What the Hell are you doing Kish?" Colleen whispered sleepily as she realized that Kish was the one who had woken her up. "Trying to find you honey," Kish said with a dumb grin on his face.

"OWWW!" Kish wiped the dumb grin off his face after Colleen kicked him in the groin, hard. "Why did you do that?" Kish asked with a pained look on his face as he put his hands over his groin area. "Because you called me honey, dumbass," Colleen replied calmly as she sat up on her mattress. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and then Pai and Tart came in and saw Colleen & Kish entwined in sheets. "I think that we interrupted something here Pai," said Tart with a giggle. "I was trying to beat Kish up but got caught in the sheets, you freaking little bastard," Colleen said as she stood up, looking very pissed off. Only Colleen hadn't said freaking. "What language! Kish, you get to monitor her," said Pai to Kish. "Get going already," Pai said to Kish as Colleen stormed out of the room w/ her stuff. "At least your free. And you get me too!" Kish said happily as he caught up to Colleen stormed to the entrance. Colleen just punched him in the face as she walked out of the door.

"Where were you?" Ryou asked as Colleen came into the café'. "I got captured on my way out and now Kish is monitoring me," Colleen replied. "Just go home and meet me and the rest of the Mews here tomorrow," said Ryou replied as Colleen walked out of the door. Colleen walked a few minutes then heard a rustling in the bushes behind her. She turned, already transformed and ready to fight whoever was in the bushes. "Why are you so tense honey?" Colleen put her hands on the scabbards of the swords, recognizing the voice as Kish's. "Don' t even TRY to follow me home," said Colleen as she headed to her street. She turned to see if Kish was still there, but he had already disappeared into the night.

The day seemed to go at a snail's pace for Colleen. After the bell ending her 8th period, English, she went to her locker. She was pretty happy that the Christmas break had finally come. "Colleen we're so glad you're okay!" Colleen looked to her left as she saw the girls running up to her. "What happened," Lettuce said as the got ready to open the café'. "I'll tell you guys after work," Colleen replied as she switched the closed sign to open. About 20 minutes after the Café' was opened for the day, Colleen heard a bunch of girls laughing at something. Colleen turned to see that it was the girls who the Mews had told Colleen about who used to torture Lettuce, apparently up to their old tricks. Lettuce was in tears. Colleen came over to the table.

"What is so funny, may I ask?" Colleen stared down on the girls with a cold voice. "We told her we wanted milkshakes then we changed our minds when she came with our order," replied the girl who seemed to be the leader, which sent the other girls into fits of laughter. Colleen picked the girls by their shirt collars as she headed to the door. "Well your waste of our food and your meanness to Lettuce just earned you a one way ticket out of the cafe'. You are no longer welcome here," Colleen replied as she kicked the girls out of the café'.

"All right everybody to the training room," said Ryou as they closed up shop. When they got to the training room, Ryou spoke again. "I'm going to load the machine to launch more Mew Mew DNA tomorrow, I just wanted to warn you so you knew if you heard weird noises," said Ryou as he opened the door to the very large training room. "All right Mews, transform!" "Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphosis, Mew Mint Metamorphosis, Mew Pudding Metamorphosis, Mew Lettuce Metamorphosis, Mew Zakuro Metamorphosis!" "Crimson Mew Metamorphosis!" Since they had transformed, they got started fighting the hologram animas. "Crimson Fox Swords (I edited Colleen's attacks down)!" Colleen yelled as she pulled her twin swords out of their scabbards, with a flame design carved into the blades (cool eh?). "Flame Slash!" Colleen threw the swords, which met in a flash of flame and "destroyed" the hologram anima. "Man, this is fun. Who knew beating hologram Kimera animas would be so much fun?" "Colleen what happened when you were captured on Kish's ship," Lettuce asked. She told the Mews, and at the end of the tale the girls' faces were filled with disgust. "Man Ichigo, aren't you glad Kish never got that perverted with you?" Mint asked as she destroyed another hologram. "Sure am. So now he's monitoring you Colleen?" Ichigo asked. "Yes. Too bad I can't get a restraining order on him," Colleen replied with a laugh.

"Why can't I make her love me?" Kish looked at Colleen through the glass above the training room. He liked being the person who had to monitor Colleen; it gave him a reason to act like a stalker. The wind blew and Kish shivered. " What could I do to make her love me?" Kish floated over Café' Mew Mew cross- legged, his face showing him in deep thought. "I might be able to help." Kish spun around to see an alien who looked similar to his race; only she had huge white wings. "Who are you," Kish asked with a nervous tone of voice. "Amor the love angel at your service," said the angel as she floated beside Kish (amor is love in Latin). "Can you help me fall in love with that girl?" Kish asked Amor as he pointed to Colleen, who was still destroying holograms below. "If I couldn't then I wouldn't be here would I?" Amor asked as Kish shook his head in response. "Let me see what will happen in the future." Kish saw Amor pull out a crystal ball and look deeply into it. "Seems to be love between you two into the future," said Amor as the crystal ball disappeared in a puff of white smoke. "I'll see what her feelings are in her mind and get back to you Kish," Amor said as she stood up, still floating. Before Kish could say anything, Amor had disappeared, leaving him wonder if she had been real at all.

"Man, I'm tired." Colleen stepped out of the café' after finishing her training session in the gym, very tired and ready to sleep when she got home. She wore jeans and a creamy white sweatshirt with Thumper (from Bambi) on it on top of the words snow bunny. Suddenly, she felt something cold. She looked up and saw that it was snowing and very windy. She started to run home, but slammed into someone. "Sorry… STANTON! Is that YOU?" Colleen saw that she had slammed into her boyfriend, who she hadn't seen in at least a week. "Hi Colleen. I've missed you," Stanton said as he helped her up. "Why is he acting like he doesn't like me anymore?" Colleen thought as she and Stanton walked towards her house. "Why haven't you been in school?" Colleen asked as they started to get closer to her front door. "I've been, um, sick," he said with hesitation.

"Why don't you and I go and talk in my room," said Colleen as she opened her front door with her key. "Sure," Stanton replied and they went inside. "Do you still like me?" Colleen asked as she looked into his eyes. Then Stanton grabbed her and started kissing her. Since Colleen knew how to walk backwards to her room, she started to walk to her room. Her grumpy twin sister Mary came out of room and then a look of disgust came to her face. "Get a room you two, don't kiss where I can see you." "Mary, stop being mean. It's not my fault you don't have a boyfriend." Colleen and Stanton had stopped kissing to let Colleen reply to Mary's mean comment. With the look of disgust still on her face, Mary left Colleen and Stanton still kissing. When they got to Colleen's room, they heard a voice. "Man did I interrupt something here?" Colleen stopped kissing and turned to see who it was. It was her pal Dominique, nicknamed Dom, from the States! A deep blush broke onto Colleen's face and turned to Stanton. "I'll see you later," said Colleen as she gave him a hug. "See ya, my little fox." Before Colleen could punch him in the arm for saying that in front of her friend, he was already gone. "Who was that?" Dom asked as she gave some room on Colleen's bed to let her sit on it as well. "That was my boyfriend, Stanton. Why are you here?" Colleen replied calmly and was happy Dom was here. "My parents died and they appointed guardianship to your parents, so your parents adopted me and I'm living in the room on the right of yours, " Dom replied rapidly, but a big smile broke onto her face. "Your parents said you work at a café'. Is that true? Where is it?" Dom seemed to have a million questions to ask, but Colleen replied, "Yes. It's called the Café' Mew Mew. Why don't I show you when I go work tomorrow?" Colleen and Dom had been friends for a really long time, and they were still really good friends. "Sure that will be fun," Dom replied. "We just got out for Christmas break, so we won't be going to school for like a week. And don't beat up any guys," said Colleen as she and Dom went into Dom's room to unpack her stuff. "Why shouldn't I?" Dom asked while unpacking clothes into dresser drawers.

"That's how I met Stanton. I beat him up and there's this tradition at the school we go to where if you beat up a guy, you have to date him at least a week," Colleen replied with a deep red blush forming on her face. Dom and Colleen took an hour to unpack Dom's stuff. "Man, I'm tired," said Colleen said as she and Dom sat in the kitchen, eating chocolate chip cookies and milk. "Yeah, I feel like taking a nap," replied Dom as she finished a cookie. "Want to watch a movie?" Colleen held up her DVD of Princess Mononoke between two fingers. "Sure why not," Dom replied as she raced to hog the couch.

LATER THAT NIGHT, COLLEEN'S ROOM

Colleen was asleep in her room, and Dom finally was asleep after ranting random things for an hour. Amor floated outside of Colleen's window, Kish floating beside her. "This is the girl right?" Amor pointed to Colleen's sleeping form, unaware she was being watched. "Yes, didn't we clear that this afternoon?" Kish answered with a hint of annoyance. "Alright, I'm entering her mind and heart to see what I find, emotions towards you wise that is," Amor, answered as she lifted a key with a heart shaped handle. "I thought that was just a decoration," said Kish. "It's the Lovekey and can turn into a weapon. It's how I'm getting into Colleen," Amor replied. Amor slipped into Colleen's room and floated to Colleen's bed. Colleen turned flat on her back, and then Amor put the Lovekey on her chest and turned it. Amor entered Colleen's body and was ready to see what she found.

Amor entered her mind first. It looked kind of like a movie theatre, and the sign in front of her read "Colleen's Dream: Now Playing". Amor entered the theatre that the sign pointed to. Sitting in a seat, Colleen's dream began to play in front of Amor's eyes.

COLLEEN'S DREAM

Colleen was trying to beat a very tough animera, but seemed to be losing. Then the monster punched her on the face and everything except Colleen disappeared and was replaced by blackness. Colleen's body lay floating, and nothing was happening. "I think I need to make an entrance here," thought Amor as she got up and walked to the screen. When Amor touched the screen, her hand went through the screen and she went inside.

COLLEEN'S PIONT OF VIEW

What the---! Where did that animera go? What's with the darkness? Somebody put a frigging light on! Who's that? Why the hell am I asking so many questions?

END OF COLLEEN"S POV

Colleen stared into the darkness as Amor appeared. "Who are you?" Colleen seemed alarmed that someone who looked like an elf had appeared. "I'm Amor, love angel at your service," Amor replied as she gracefully bowed in front of Colleen. "Amor is love in Latin right?" Colleen said. "DUH!" Amor answered, her voice dripping annoyance. "Why are you here? I don't have love problems; I just can't defeat these monsters in my dreams. I feel like there is a missing puzzle piece to my power. Though you don't help in that department do you," Colleen asked calmly. "I think you're not happy in your current relationship. You feel that Stanton is hiding something from you. You also wonder why you feel for Kish the way you do. I think I can help you with the missing power thing." Amor took off the Lovekey and handed it to Colleen. "This is the Lovekey. It can see into the heart and mind and can also turn into a weapon if necessary. If you take it, your power will be complete and your insecure love life will be secured and you will feel as you've never felt before for one who is foreign to this planet. Do you take it?" Amor's eyes glittered as she held the key by its heart-shaped handle. "I do, and with it, I accept my love life's destiny," Colleen replied as she touched the key.

Colleen woke, with many questions. One thing she wondered the most, how will accepting that key affect my life in the world outside of the dream? Will I develop romantic feelings for Kish? Colleen soon fell asleep, her many questions still fresh on her mind.

Well that's all for this chapter! What will happen next? Keep reading to find out!
