Chirpy: Why do you just pop outta nowhere?

Ryou: Heeeey babe!

Chirpy: Ryou-kun!

Ryou: ahem

Chirpy: ok well on with the story!

Soon it was midnight, and I was at the park. It's actually really creepy at night. But who

cares. Ryou will be here for me, I hope. I hope I can trust him with my life. I---

"Retasu?" huh? I spun around. Ryou was there, wearing black cargo pants and a white

T-shirt. He walked up to me, and took my hands. "Retasu, the ball is tomorrow. You'll

be there, right?" I nodded. "Of course I will. I would never miss a chance to…."

He finished for me. "Be with me?" He traced the scars all over my back. "Retasu, I-I

can't believe this happened to you. Was it your clumsiness?" he joked. "It was you." I

managed to choke out. "Huh?" I heard a raven crow and splashes in the water. The

silence was so loud. I turned my back to him and spilled the beans on the whole story,

how I loved him so much. "Ryou…..why did you give me those stares? Do you hate

me?" I turned around again. Ryou was gone. My heart broke again. It dropped to the

bottom of my chest. "R-Ryou………." SPLASH! I looked towards the pond. A black-

gray shadow hovered above the pond. Is it an alien-infected animal? I might have to

change. I threw a rock at it. The rock passed through the mist. All of the sudden, the mist

took form. It looked like a….ghost? Ghosts weren't real! It looked like a freaky

dementor but creepier! Something in the water started thrashing around like crazy. It was-

Ichigo! Ryou appeared next to me. "You came back!" "I would never leave you. I

pushed her in the water. Turns out she was spying on us." "Sounds like something

she would do." Ichigo thrashed in the water until the was on shore. "Cough! Gasp-

w-why did hack didyou do that Ryou?" She slowly got up and stumbled towards

Ryou. Quickly she threw her arms around him and planted a kiss on his lips. He thrust

his arms forwards and pushed her off. Soaking, she fell on the floor. The ghost

disappeared into the air. Justice was done. Ryou turned to Lettuce. "Lettuce…what

were you talking about?" I shook my head. Why couldn't I just straight out tell him?

Words broke into my thoughts. "Retasu, you're caught up in your thoughts too much.

I lifted in my head to protest. Instead, I was caught up in a locked kiss with Ryou. The

moon shone even brighter as if trying to romanticize the moment. Ichigo gave a strangled

cry. I smiled in my kiss, and Ryou felt it, for he smiled back.

In the morning I woke up with heavy fluffy covers on me. Wha-? Where was I? Don't

tell me—I sat up. Ryou came out of another room. "Oh, you're awake. Welcome to my

humble shack! Don't worry, we didn't do anything….at least not that I remember!" I

looked out the window. HUMBLE SHACK! HIS "SHACK WAS BIGGER

THAN MINT'S PALACE! Well, at least I'm with him. Time to get ready…..

For the ball! (many more surprises to come, and all the Mews will get attention!)
