Chapter 2: Bulls,rabbits, and bears.. Oh my!
"Hey! Hey!" A honey colored haired girl ran. "What is it Honey?" "Wait up!" Honey whined. "Oh! Sorry!" The girl Honey was talking too patted her shoulder. "Did you hear Ria-chan?" Honey got into a gossiping mode. Ria gave Honey a side ways look. "A monster was spotted yesterday!" "Oh..Honey..not this again!" Ria shut her eyes and walked ahead. "This isn't a illusion this time!" Honey rushed after her. "People are talking about it! It's everywhere!" Honey grinned. Ria opened one eye. "It's all talk." She shut her eye again. "It can't be if Hanith-sama is talking about it!" Ria looked up for a moment. "True." Ria then looked at Honey. "Why are you using those suffixes? We don't live in Japan." Honey laughed at that. "I know that! I find it fun!" Ria nodded and smiled. "Okay then." "Ah. The arcade. You go here alot." Honey went to get some change. "I know." Ria walked up to the Tekken 4 game. "Here you go." Honey gave her a few quarters. "Thanks." Ria popped the quarters in the game and started to play. "As I was saying..people saw a 20-foot squirrel chasing some girl." Ria nodded. She was too busy looking at the screen. POW! Her character kicked the oppodent out of the ring. "Then..the girl disappeared and another one appeared." "Mmhm." Ria kept staring at the screen. "Only this girl..'Ria-chan! Are you listening?!" Honey pouted. "Mmhm." Ria said again. Honey rolled her eyes. She knew how to get her attention. "Ooh! Is that Masuto?!" Honey giggled. "What?!" Ria looked around. "KO!" The game announced. "Damn! Honey!" Ria yelled. "Must've been seeing things!" Honey laughed. "I'll give you "seeing things"!" Ria then chased Honey out of the arcade. "...!!" Cherry felt a wave of air rush by as two girls ran by her. "Woah. They are prettyy quick." Cherry stared in the direction they were going in. "Oh well..maybe I'll see---" They ran by again. Honey stopped. "Oh! I'm sorry!" She bowed quickly and helped Cherry pick up her stuff. "I'm really sorry." Honey repeated. Cherry smiled. "Its okay!" She then took a look at the two girls. They were the same girls from the mall! 'Maybe..they have a mark!' cherry then grinned at Honey. "Would you two like to hang out sometime?" "Sure!" Honey answered. Ria nodded. "Great! Here's my number!" Cherry got some paper and a pen. She quickly jotted her number down and stuffed it in Honey's hands. "Call me when you want to hang out!" Cherry gave one last smile and rushed off. "Who...?" Ria turned to Honey. "It says here her names Cherry." Honey pocketed the number. "Ah." Ria put the name in her memory. "Should we call?" Honey gave one her warm smiles. Ria nodded and smiled too. "What a lovely arcade.." A dark blue haired girl laughed. "Let's see what I can find..." The girl walked into the arcade. Ria shivered. "Did you feel a chill?" "A little bit." Honey rubbed her arms. "She looked interesting though..think she goes to the same school?" Honey looked in the window. "...Ria?" "Yeah?" Honey gave her a weird look. "Arn't people supossed to be in the arcade?" Ria gave a small gasp and looked in the window. Sure enough no one was there. "Freaky..." Ria kept looking around. "I think..we should go." Honey bit her nails. "Yeah...maybe." Ria moved away from the glass. "How strange is that?" Honey pushed Ria away from the arcade. "Quite strange." Ria looked behind her. "Wow! It's almost 4:30!" Honey laughed abit. "It is?" Honey pushed some hair out of her face. "Yeah. Don't we have homework too?" "We do." Honey nodded. "Wanna' work on it together?" Ria suggested. "Sure!" Honey smiled and ran ahead. "Hey!" Ria laughed and raced after Honey.
"Those two are interesting. They also are from the mall that day.." Cherry talked to herself. "Maybe..I'll see the mark when we hang out." Cherry smiled to herself and worked on her homework. A thought hit her. "What if they really don't want to hang out? What if they use my number for prank calls?!" Cherry cried. "Get a hold of yourself Cherry!" Jomei's voice echoed in her room. "EEK! Jomei?!" Cherry fell off her bed. "Yeah?" "What are you doing here?!" Cherry got up. "I'm not really here. A friend of mine gave me this to give to you." Cherry giggled as she petted the fluffy gift. "How adorable!" She laughed. "Masha here will help you find the other girls. I did feel a weird presence near the arcade but nobody is complaining about any over sized monsters so..there might not be anything wrong." Cherry nodded and tried to soak in all this new information. "Finished!" Honey stretched. "Good God. That was hard." Ria layed her head on the table. "Why do teachers give us so much work to do at home?!" Honey gave off a loud yawn. "School sucks, Honey. Plain and simple." Ria shut her eyes. The event at the mall replayed in her mind. She was just standing in the food court when shadows of four other girls appeared. Ria looked around. "?!" Ria scratched her head. Suddenly a bull charged at her and landed in her chest. A second after a bunny followed the bull and hopped into Ria's chest. "Agh!" She woke up. "Ria! Your dreaming!" Honey shook her. "Yeah..yeah.." Ria held her head. "Let's watch some TV." Honey pushed a button on the remote. "Ooo! That's the arcade!" Honey turned the volume up. "Here I am standing in front of the local arcade where, as you can see...it's covered in vines." "?!" Ria rushed to the T.V and watched it with wide eyes. "The vines are releasing some sort of poisonous ooze which is fatal when touched." The reporter went on. "Let's go check it out!" Ria got up and got her coat. "It's late!" Honey protested. "I don't care!" Ria threw Honey her coat. "But Ria!" Honey moaned as Ria rushed her out the door. "Ria-chaaan!" Honey held on to her friends arm. "Crap. That ooze is all over the place." Ria opened her mouth in a disgusting way. "Lets go back!" Honey cried. "Heck no! I wanna' see what's going on!" Ria walked closer to the arcade. "Ria! No!" Honey rushed after her. "Look! Theres no ooze on the window!" Ria laughed and pointed. "So what? Lets go home!" Honey grabbed Ria's shoulders. Ria pushed away. "We have to check this out!" Ria looked in the window. The girl from before was in there. "That dark haired girl.." Ria motioned to Honey. "Somethings going on in there! Honey! Help me break the window!" Honey looked around. "There's nothing!" Honey began to cry again. "Oh crap." Ria backed up. She had a weird urge to charge. "Hyaaa!" Ria ran and crashed into the window. "Oh shit! Ow!" She held her head. "Ria-chan!" Honey yelled and went to the window. She jumped in. "I'm fine.." Ria mumbled. "Who goes there?!" A deep womanly voice called out. Ria shhhed Honey. "I know someones in here. It'd be best to show yourselves now! The woman cackled abit. Honey shook her head and looked at Ria. "We need to get out of here!" She whispered. Ria nodded. "Ah ha!" The woman laughed and waves of vines washed over them. "Honey!" Ria gasped. Her friend was no where to be seen. "Honey!" Ria cried. "AGH!" Ria gasped again and ran to the sound.
"Cherry! Cherry!" Masha's voice beeped. "Yes?" Cherry looked at her new compainion. "Trouble! Arcade! Trouble!" Masha rushed around Cherry's head. "Okay! Okay!" Cherry jumped out the window. "Mew Mew Cherry! Metamorphoooosis!" She quickly transformed. Cherry soon arrived at the arcade. "Oh!" She crawled through the busted window. "Oh..dear!" Cherry gasped. Ria panted. Her friend was in trouble and she didn't even notice Cherry enter. "Leave Honey alone!" Ria yelled. The dark haired woman just laughed. "You heard her!" Cherry butted in. "!!" Ria,Honey and the darked haired girl both looked at Cherry. Masha bounced around again. "Mew Mews! Mew Mews!" Masha glowed for a moment. Suddenly a necklace appeared in front of Ria. A bracelet appeared in front of Honey. Cherry grinned. "Say what's in your heart!" She laughed. "What is this?" Ria and Honey looked at eachother. They nodded. A warm feeling over came them. They couldn't place the feeling but it did feel nice. Suddenly..they felt words form in their throat. "Mew Mew Honey! Metamorphosis!" Honey was the first to transform. Her outfit changed into a brown short dress and had her shoes turn brown. Her socks were white and went up to her knees. On top of the socks were yellow bows. She also got bear ears and tail. "Woah!" she did a fast check of herself. "How awesome!" She squealed. "My turn." Ria grabbed the necklace. "Mew Mew Ria! Metamorphosis!" Ria then transformed. Her outfit didn't change much. Her shirt was sleeveless and bull horns appeared on her head. Bunny ears also appeared. A bull tail twitched behind her. "Holy shit!" Was Ria's response. "Oh! They got their powers!" The dark haired girl looked nervous. "Lets go Mettellus!" A boy appeared in a ripple of air. Cherry tilted her head abit. The newcomer had dark green hair and bright yellow eyes. "Right Kish." Mettellus nodded. "But.." She laughed and soon rats almost as big as the arcade popped out of nowhere. "Damn.." Ria looked around. Kish and Mettullus then both disappeared in a ripple of air. "Well..then..what do we do" Ria looked at Cherry. "It'll come to you." Cherry smiled. Ria and Honey nodded. "Shoutokeki Nibai Sword!" Two swords appeared in Ria's hands. "Hachinosu Wand!" A wand with circles topping it appeared in Honey's hand. "ROAR!" The rats screeched and rushed at the girls. "Tamatsu Chi Chi!" Cherry's weapon appeared in her hand. "Let's get them!" The three girls grinned and were ready to fight. "Ribbooooon, Pinku Beru!" "Ribbooooon, Nibaiii HA!" "Ribboooooon, Hachimistu Bee Sting!" The three girls attacks killed the rats. "Yeah!" Honey jumped up and down. "Interesting..." Cherry ran to them. "Wonderful! Your Mew Mews! This is so cool!" Honey touched her ears. "Mew Mews?" Cherry nodded. "Oh! To turn back..just think of turning back." Cherry giggled. Thye nodded and did so. "Hey! Your that..." Cherry laughed. The other girls laughed too. 'This is so great! Two new members! Which means..two new friends!' Cherry a really wide grin and helped the new members out.
