On the flaming thing, no problemo!

The story so far: The Mew Mews were still trying to find out who stole Ichigo's garter. They had eliminated themselves, Kish, Keiichiro, and the janitor, who died.

A night after the first interviews, long after everyone was asleep, Lettuce heard someone creeping into her room. "Greahhhlegaregareg..." she mumbled. She turned over sleepily, but didn't see anyone. It was probably just the wind...

The rest of the night, she slept like a log.

Early that morning though, the whole of Tokyo was awakened by a tremendous scream. The mew mews and their fan club (Ryou, Keiichiro, Pie, Tart, Kish, fat cat, ghost of the dead janitor, a couple of kirama animals etc) ran to lettuce's room, vaguely the direction the scream was coming from.

There, there was a sight that shocked them to their very core! (AN: except the thief. We'll give you a hint: the thief is in the group listed.) (Quicksilver: That doesn't say much, you know.) (MarMar: Oh well...) Lettuce was standing in her nightgown in the center of the room, a shocked and bewildered expression on her face. She was gasping and choking. All around her were pieces of slutty lingerie, and all of her drawers in her dresser were torn open. When she saw the group looking at her, she fainted.

........................................................................................................

Lettuce woke up lying on the couch in the Tokyo dining room. The mew mews were gathered anxiously around her. Mint handed lettuce her cup of tea. "Strange that Lettuce had all of those slutty underwear things, I wouldn't have expected it," Zakuro muttered under her breath to Ichigo.

"Okay guys," Pudding yelled, "I've checked the room for fingerprints, but there weren't any! The person who did this must have been wearing gloves or something. There were 542 pieces of underwear though." Lettuce looked shocked. "How many things did you say?"

"Ummm....I forgot. Oops."

Zakuro rolled her eyes. "542, dimwit." Lettuce paled, and breathed harder. "Pudding? What color were these?"

"Green, I guess. A couple of lacy blues, some satin stuff, one with teddy bears, and some turquoise and red ones."

Lettuce burst into tears. "They st...stole my...my cat patterned one! I just bought it y...y...yesterday! Wahh!"

A light bulb appeared above Mint's head. "What? Cat patterned?"

"Y...yes! WAAAAA!"

Mint smiled slowly. "I bet that the fat cat stole it! Remember, he was with Ichigo also, two days ago, and could have stolen her garter!"

Ichigo looked up sharply, and then shook her head. "No, it's not him!" Mint looked at her. "How do you know?"

Ichigo paled. "Well, um, how could he have opened the door? He's too short and fat!"

"Yeah..." said Lettuce slowly. "I remember somebody opened my door and walked in my room!"

"I guess..." Mint sighed, and looked disappointed. Pudding however, was ecstatic. "I bet that it's a cat fanatic! Or someone with a thing about Ichigo! Or both!"

"Maybe a cat Kirama animal?" Ichigo suggested.

"Maybe..."

............................................................................................................

The next day brought new light onto the case. Someone had stolen Mint's pink maximizing bustiere!

Mint didn't seem very concerned. "Oh well," she said indifferently, "There's more where that came from."

Pudding, however, was ecstatic. "THIS PROVES THAT WHOEVER IS STEALING THIS STUFF IS AN ICHIGO FETISH! They like cat prints and pink! I bet that it's either Kish or Masaya!"

"But not Ryou or Keiichiro?" Zakuro asked cynically. "Nah," Pudding replied. "They both would do that except for the fact that they're too entwined with each other. And Keiichiro is already innocent."

"But isn't Kish innocent as well?" asked Lettuce.

"Oh, um...right. I guess the interview didn't prove much after all. Oh well." Pudding looked sad.

Zakuro rolled her eyes, and went back to reading "How blues clues murdered the salt and pepper shakers part two: The revenge of the toaster."

Pudding's logic was sound, though, so everyone went to sleep with their heads spinning with ideas.

............................................................................................................

The thief kept his head down for a week or so, until he stole Zakuro's black and pink striped set of underwear.

Zakuro was upset, but Mint comforted her by the fact that when they played strip poker together, Zakuro could get naked faster.

Pudding was secretly worried. She was the only mew mew the thief hadn't stolen from. She decided to booby trap her room so nobody could get in. This resulted in serious complications when Tart tried to sneak in and give her chocolates.

............................................................................................................

Oddly enough, however, the thief stole next from Pie and Tart! Both of the aliens had a set of silver fishnets and pink pleather Chippendale shorts, which had disappeared that night.

"3.14, 3.14, 3.14, " Pie murmured sadly.

Tart however, was furious. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT THING COST ME? IT COSTED 5 HUNDRED EFFING DOLLARS!"

"Well, that proves that Pie and Tart are innocent," said Pudding happily. "Two less suspects to go!"

"I wonder why their things were matching though," Mint mused.

Expressions of horror stamped onto the Mew Mews features.

"No..." whispered lettuce. Pudding burst into hysterical laughter. "Pie? And Tart? O.o" Zakuro retched. Ichigo ran out of the room.

.....................................................................................................

Later, the mew mews had calmed down enough to interview the aliens. "You say that the short/speedo type things were pink?" Pudding asked.

"Yes, and mighty expensive too!"

Pudding whipped out her pipe, and smoked it, while pacing back and forth. "That must prove that whoever is stealing this stuff is an Ichigo fetish," she said mysteriously. Everyone had guessed this already, but Mint sat bolt upright in her chair, an idea forming in her mind.

After dinner, she pulled pudding aside, and whispered her idea to Pudding. Pudding slowly smiled, and nodded her head. They went upstairs together. "I didn't know Pudding was a lesbian," Lettuce stated. "She must have inner depths none of us have plumbed."

Zakuro was furious. "MINT'S ALREADY BETRAYED ME ONCE IN THIS STORY, SHE WON'T DO IT AGAIN!" She stormed upstairs.

Lettuce and Ichigo heard a scream, and a crash.

"Sorry..." Pudding called.

Zakuro came downstairs, a bucket of glue over her head. "They're working on something," she motioned in sign language. She wouldn't say what.

............................................................................................................

Late that night, when everyone was fast asleep, a dark, hooded figure slinked up the stairs. The figure paused outside of Ryou's room, but heard erotic moaning

(Quicksilver: Hey! I thought everyone was asleep!)

(Mar Mar: They are all asleep! Ryou and Keiichiro were doing it in their sleep.)

(Quicksilver: That sounds hard to maneuver...O.o)

shook it's head, and moved on. It stopped by Pudding's door. It hadn't been there yet...

Slowly, the figure opened the door. All was quiet. It poked a furtive head inside. No noise. Tentatively, it stepped inside.

CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights flashed on, and a bucket of glue poured over the figure, and cemented it to the floor. The figure gave a muffled yell. Pudding and Mint jumped out from under the bed, and cried, "AHA! WE HAVE YOU AT LAST!" They did a tribal happy victory dance. The stomping woke the whole café up.

"Never give a soul a rest," the dead janitor mumbled.

............................................................................................................

The next morning, Pudding and Mint called all of the people that we have listed earlier in the fanfic and are too bothered to write out now into Pudding's room, where the figure lay, covered in glue, wearing a cat suit and hooded.

"Mint got suspicious of all of the goings-on and formulated a hypotheses about who the criminal was," Pudding said. "We decided to catch the criminal by my booby trap."

"Your boobies are a trap?" Keiichiro asked, eyeing them. "They don't look that big to me..."

Mint hit him over the head, and he shut up.

"Our theories were right! We caught the criminal, which you see here..." Pudding kicked the gluey figure. "So now, ladies and gentlemen, we shall reveal to you the feared and dreaded and perverted panty thief, the one and only..."

Cliffhanger! When we have at least 75 reviews, we'll update! You have more clues now, so tell us who you think the criminal is, and your theory, and we'll give you all the stuff we listed in the last chapter!

Bye-cha!
