Blood: Man, this took forever to write.

Ichigo: This is only the first chapter!

Blood: So?

Disclaimer: Tokyo Mew Mew, although I wish it does, does not belong to me. However, the characters Jo-Jo and Danae do. So nyah!

It was 7:58 in Connecticut. It was a quiet autumn morning; tranquil with little birds chirping high in the trees. That is, until, two girls awoke finally.

"AGH! 7:58! JO-JO! WAKE UP! WE'RE GOING TO MISS TOKYO MEW MEW!"

"WHAAAAT?" There was a sudden scrambling and several shouts as the two girls jerked awake, and attempted to run downstairs. Aforementioned attempt was foiled by the fact that neither were fully awake nor out of their sleeping bags. This resulted in the pair ending up at the bottom of the stairs in a crumpled heap. The one on the bottom, a brown haired, brown eyed female, shrieked.

"7:59!" The second, a taller Jamaican girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes, gasped and stood up. The taller one, Joanna a.k.a. Jo-Jo, picked up her friend and dragged her down the hall.

"AGH!" The shorter one grabbed the remote. "TURN ME AROUND!" The TV flickered to life and the theme song began to blare from the speakers. Both Jo-Jo and Erin, a.k.a. Dagger, sighed with relief. Dagger was dropped to the floor with a loud crash and both sat back for a half-hour of magical-girl anime goodness. Unfortunately for both of them, Dagger's mother had been rudely awakened, as was everyone else on the street. In a few minutes, the phone was ringing off the hook. Fortunately for Dagger and Jo-Jo, the calls took exactly a half-hour to finish, leaving them to finish watching Tokyo Mew Mew in peace.

"Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace, Mew Mew Power, in your face!" Dagger chanted while giggling. "Ha, Ichigo kills me!" Jo-Jo grinned.

"Yeah, but you know the dubs," she said sagely. "We're missing a lot." Dagger nodded.

"There is only one way to fix this," Dagger said seriously, starting to grin. "BUY THE MANGAS AND ORIGINAL JAPANESE SERIES! AND SHOOT 4KIDS!" Both girls broke out laughing, but were soon stopped by the appearance of Dagger's angry mother.

"Erin Elizabeth Dunn!" she roared. "Do you know how many calls I've gotten from the people on the street! You and Joanna woke all of them up!"

"Nyah?" Dagger inquired.

"ARGH!" Dagger's exasperated mother cried. "I have HAD it with you and quoting anime!" Dagger and Jo-Jo exchanged glances. This was turning out to be one of those lectures. Both started to sidle innocently to the door of the bathroom, where sweet sanctuary could be found. However, the species know as "mother" is more intelligent than one first guesses.

"Don't you DARE try and run away from me!" she shouted. "I want you to call everyone on the street and express your apologies!" Dagger sighed, running her fingers through her bed-head.

"Alright, alright. Jo-Jo, grab the phone book."

By twelve that morning, Dagger and Jo-Jo had completed the calls and heard at least a dozen excuses from each home on why their behavior was unacceptable. Dagger sighed and flopped onto the couch.

"No more," she moaned. "Nooooo more…" The phone rang again. Jo-Jo picked it up.

"Yeah? Uh-huh." She held out the phone. "It's for you." Dagger took the portable from her friend and sighed.

"Yes?"

"DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THROUGH? YOUR HOUSE WAS SUCH AN AWFUL RACKET THIS MORNING! I HEARD IT ALL THE WAY OVER HERE ON BRACKEN STREET!" Dagger blinked.

"Bracken?" She looked up. "Hey Jo-Jo, we have a new record. Bracken Street." With that, the teen hung up happily and stretched luxuriously.

"Well," Dagger said lazily. "Do you want lunch?" Jo-Jo pounced on Dagger eagerly.

"FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Half-dragging, half-carrying Jo-Jo into the kitchen, Dagger deposited her overactive friend to the floor and went about making a breakfast-lunch.

"Mm…I wish that we could be in Tokyo Mew Mew!" Jo-Jo exclaimed finally, as Dagger handed her a plate of waffles and pizza. Dagger grinned and sat across from her with her own plate of pasta and pancakes.

"That'd be so totally cool!" Dagger said around a mouthful of syrup. "I wonder what animal DNA we'd be hit with, ne?" Jo-Jo smirked.

"You know you have pasta in your hair, right?" Dagger blinked.

"Nani?" Dagger began to pad through her hair before she realized that her friend had stolen her pancake.

"Hey!"

"Nyah-nyah!"

"Erin!" Dagger glanced up from the table.

"Yeah?"

"After you two get dressed, would you go up into the attic for me and grab me my book? I'm afraid I left it up there!" Dagger sighed.

"Alright." Jo-Jo smiled.

"Ooh…is Dagger afraid of the attic?" she teased. Dagger flushed angrily.

"NO! I just….I just don't like spiders! That's all!" Jo-Jo smirked as the pair walked up the stairs.

"Sure…"

"I'M SERIOUS!"

After an interesting interlude in the bed room where Dagger's diary was held open by a taller Jo-Jo and portions read aloud, the pair made it to the attic. Dagger was standing in the middle of the attic floor, eyes darting around in fear.

"Uh….I don't think the floor is safe," she mumbled. Jo-Jo shrugged and climbed up from the ladder.

"It always feels like that," she reassured, walking forward next to Dagger. There was a slight creaking noise and Dagger's hand was quick to grasp Jo-Jo's sweater. The floorboards gave way and the pair plummeted into the air below. Dagger was screaming something that oddly sounded like "I told you so!" and Jo-Jo was just plain screaming as the pair fell through blackness. Dagger cracked open an eye when she didn't feel the crack of another floor smashing against her back. They were still falling, but now through a darkened sky.

"Yah! Jo-Jo!" Both girls fell with a splash into a fountain. Dagger surfaced and spat out a mouthful of water. Jo-Jo sat up and pushed her hair from her eyes.

"Agh! What's this?" she demanded, holding up a long violet lock of soaked hair. "Not that I don't like it, but…And you have black hair!" Dagger shrugged.

"D'ya think we got knocked out?" the female questioned, running her fingers through the water. Jo-Jo shook her head profusely.

"No way. Unless we're hallucinating in your bathtub." Dagger blinked and looked around again.

"Okay," she said in a business-like tone. "You go that way for thirty steps and see if you can find out where we are. I'll go this way, and come back after thirty steps." Jo-Jo stared at her.

"This won't be like the time at the beach…" Dagger flushed.

"N-no! Of course not! See! No volleyballs!" Dagger pulled herself out of the fountain and shivered.

"B-b-but its c-c-cold," Dagger stuttered. "S-s-so hurry up with those th-th-thirty steps before we freeze." Jo-Jo got up took her thirty steps and looked around. Nothing familiar. Just a cold park with the normal homeless man lying on a bench. She turned around and began to walk back to Dagger. Dagger had also taken her thirty steps and was at a loss of where they were. She returned to the fountain to find Jo-Jo sitting on the rim.

"It's cold," Jo-Jo muttered sourly. "We really, REALLY need to find someplace warm." Dagger rubbed her arms.

"Well, we won't find out by standing around," she grumbled. "Let's try over there." The soaked teen squelched over to a hedge and started to push through it. She halted when she heard voices. Dagger dropped into a squat and pushed aside a branch.

"Well, it's not MY fault!" Kish shouted at Tart. Tart's lip lifted in a sneer.

"I'll bet you were protecting that Ichigo." Kish grabbed the front of his shirt angrily.

"I told you, I'm over her!" the green-haired alien shouted. "She was in love with Masaya the whole time and I can't change that."

"So whadja find?" Jo-Jo asked, leaning on Dagger. The girl, already in a fragile position, began to panic when her friend's full weight was on her.

"Aii! Too heavy! I'm gonna fall!" The pair tumbled out of the bush, right into the clearing where the two aliens were talking. Dagger and Jo-Jo jumped to their feet and stared. Kish and Tart stared back.

"AHHHHHH!"

"Run Jo-Jo!" The two girls took off in the direction of, what they hoped was, a house.

Kish and Tart stood still for a moment after the two girls fell out of the bush and ran. Then the two aliens' brains kicked in and they raced after them.

"Hey!"

"Get back here!" Kish could already see the shorter one ahead. The taller one was a little ways farther. He smirked. Well, they were in need of a Chimera Anima tonight, why not two? He held his palm out and proceeded to draw the soul from her body. The girl stiffened as he raised her in the air, her face contorted in a grimace and making a small noise from her throat. Her friend turned around and stared.

"Dagger!" she shouted. The girl shook her head.

"Don't! Run! If Kish and Tart are here, that means that Ichigo and everyone else is! Go find them!" The second girl stood for a moment, wondering what to do before taking off to find the Mew Mews. Kish shrugged and turned back to the female, Dagger, at hand. He was slightly amazed. She was probably the longest person to go without their soul being removed. He smirked again. But not for long. Dagger glared down at him and Tart was watching the pair in confusion.

"Hey Kish? She's lastin' pretty long, dontcha think?" Tart asked. Kish shrugged.

"It doesn't matter," he replied. "She'll lose control soon enough." A vein popped on Dagger's head.

"Hey!" she shouted. "Are you implying that I'm weak!" Kish fixed her with a blank stare.

"More or less, yes."

"Why you little!" Suddenly, a familiar blonde haired blur tackled Kish from the air, effectively stopping his soul snatching and dropping Dagger to the ground.

"Dagger!" Dagger glanced up and met eyes with Jo-Jo. "You won't believe this! Café Mew Mew was only a little ways away. Ichigo and Pudding are on their way and Keiichiro said that Zakuro, Lettuce, and Mint were being contacted." Dagger nodded.

"So that means that we really did fall into Tokyo Mew Mew." She received a sharp rap around the head from Jo-Jo. "Hey!"

"Well duh!" Jo-Jo growled. "You couldn't tell when Kish started to SUCK OUT YOUR SOUL!" Dagger's eyes narrowed.

"Not in the mood right now. How's about us HELP Ryou until the Mew Mews get here, eh?" Jo-Jo blinked.

"Oh right! I almost forgot about him!" Jo-Jo helped the shivering Dagger to her feet and the pair watched the proceeding battle with a bit of confusion. Tart was standing to the side, watching aimlessly, while Ryou and Kish were performing a lovely display of half-aerial martial arts. Too bad two hyperactive fangirls were about to intervene. Dagger latched onto Kish, generating enough weight to keep both of them on the ground. Jo-Jo took Tart down, who had decided that the human term "babysitting" could be taken quite literally.

"Agh! Get off me you stupid girl!" Kish shouted.

"Quit fighting Shirogane-sama!" Dagger barked back.

"And get off of Tart!" Kish ordered Jo-Jo. All he got in return was a happy giggle from the girl and a strangled yelp from Tart.

"Aw, but his ears are so cute!" Jo-Jo commented, giving them another tug.

"Ahh! Crazy! Get off me!"

"Dagger! Try it!" Jo-Jo called cheerfully. "It's fun!" Dagger smirked.

"I would, but I'm not sitting on Kish's chest, so that would mean I'd have to let him go first." Ryou, who had gotten up from his abrupt end of the battle with Kish, stared at the pair of them.

"That has got to be the strangest thing I have ever seen." The entire group looked up to see Ichigo staring at them too. Pudding was lying on the ground laughing her head off.

"You look funny Tar-Tar!" Dagger grinned.

"Uh…yeah. See, I don't think things through."

"We're action girls!" Jo-Jo chirped.

"So that's why my good buddy is sitting on the Tart and I am clinging like a monkey to the green-haired one." Masha hovered around Ryou's head.

"Silly silly!" it purred. Dagger sweatdropped.

"I can guess."

"Anyway," Kish said from behind Dagger. The girl whipped around in shock. "I would love to keep this up, but me and Tart have to be leaving now." The two phased from sight and Dagger blinked.

"Oh yeah," she muttered. "They can teleport. Wow, I feel smart today…" Jo-Jo sweatdropped.

"It makes you wonder if they were humoring us." Ichigo rubbed the back of her neck and grinned.

"Heh. Welcome to my world," she mumbled. "Sorry about Kish." Pudding looked Dagger over.

"You're not hurt, right?" the hyper-monkey girl inquired. Dagger shrugged.

"Dunno. I don't think I hit anything." A cold blast blew through the park and Jo-Jo and Dagger shuddered.

"Aiii! I can't feel my arms anymore!"

"Better than me!" Jo-Jo growled. "I can't feel my legs." Dagger stood quickly and tried to haul Jo-Jo to her legs. Each time, the girl fell over and dragged Dagger down with her.

"Geez!" Dagger mumbled. "You're, like, frozen!" Jo-Jo's teeth began to chatter and Dagger braced herself against another freezing blast.

"Come on! Up ya go!" Dagger hauled Jo-Jo up one last time and braced the other girl on her shoulder. Ichigo ran to Jo-Jo's other side and helped her stay erect.

"Thanks guys," Jo-Jo said with a weak smile. Dagger grinned.

"Awright. How about we get to Café Mew Mew before your legs fall off?" The trio took one step before slipping on a patch of icy grass. Dagger winced as she landed hard on her rear and Ichigo managed to balance herself.

"Lucky," she grumbled, pushing herself back up and reaching for Jo-Jo again. But her companion wasn't there. Dagger looked around wildly until she saw Ryou with Jo-Jo safe on his back.

"I have her," he said coolly, starting to walk out of the park. Dagger blinked and started to walk after them.

"So how did your friend know our names?" Pudding asked, hopping around Dagger's head. Any thoughts going through Dagger's head came to a shattering halt. How were they going to explain this?
