Mew Mew: Advanced Mode!

Chapter 6: A chance at the spotlight! Talent Show Dropouts!

"Nyaaaaa!! It was so cool!!" Cherry bounced around her friends. "I can't believe we feel the same way!" Cherry gave girlish giggles. "That's great and all but...explain to us what happened to you!" Sammy smiled. "Huh? ...Oh! That!" Cherry totally forgot. She was way too happy. "It was amazing! The shadow was the same animal I was fused with! It was as if someone else entered my body." The other girls stared at her in awe. "All that from a small bit of powder? ...Imagine if they used the whole bottle." Ria stared at the ground. "That...that could kill everything!" Cassie said dramamtically. Under her breath she whispered !" "What was that Cas?" "Oh,nothing!" Honey fixed her hair abit. "It could." Honey didn't feel like herself lately and was getting depressed more often. She also felt like she wasn't much help to the other Mew Mews. "Honey?" Ria touched her shoulder. "..?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." She gave Ria a smile. "Well...okay." "Oh! Really?" A girl laughed with her friend. "A talent show! How wonderful!" The girls friend nodded. "'Bout time the school did soemthing fun." Honey's ears perked at that. "Ayi! Honey!" Ria grinned. "You should sign up! You have a wonderful voice!" Honey shook her head. "Nah." The girls tilted their heads in a sad way as Honey walked away. "I say we sign her up. Us too. So she ain't alone." Cherry gave a sly grin. The girls nodded. "We can be her backup singers!" Sammy was loving the idea. Ria wasn't. "Uh guys..." The two walked away without hearing her. Cherry was busy day dreaming about Kish. "AGH!" Ria shouted loudly and stomped in the same direction Honey went. Honey sat on a bench and stared at the ground. A bitter wind picked up. "Honey? What's wrong?" Ria sat down next to her. "I don't know. I just feel useless. ...And miserable." Honey sighed. "Awww. That's just the season doing that to you. Your a great person!" Ria gave her a light hug. "Thanks Ria-chan!" Honey gave her usual big smile. "Y'know? I think I will sign up for that show!" "...About that..." Ria gave a nervous giggle.

Kish floated around dreamily. "Perfect. We actually like EACH other." The door swung open. Kish cringed when he heard the door slam against the wall. 'Oh. ...Fuck.' He thought. Metellus walked in angrily. If she had the power...fire would be burning the room down. Kish backed away. "How ...DARE you!" She shouted. "What?" Kish acted innocently. "Don't play innocent act with me Kish!" Metellus growled. "Huh?" "How fucking DARE you take the Star Aqua and give it to the enemy!" Kish looked at Metellus. She seemed so different when she was angry. Her eyes got icey and seemed to have small flames dancing around. No one has ever seen this side of Metellus. Ever. "That was just one! ONE. There are others!" Kish argued. "Not in space anymore. They moved onto Earth." Metellus crossed her arms. "They'll be easier for the Mew Mew's to get now." Kish sighed. "Right." "Damn straight I'm right." Metellus walked to the door. "You better not do this again." Metellus slammed the door shut. Kish stood there staring at the back of his door. "I still think what I did was good. I'd do anything for Cherry..." He spoke to the door. "Anything."

"YOU WHAT?!" Honey screamed so loud that everyone in the lunch room stared at her. "We signed you up!" Sammy and Cherry grinned. "Without my permission?!" Honey slammed her hands on the table. "Uh..." They let their grins down. "Oh well. I was going to sign up anyway." Honey sat down. "Holy shit!" Cassie stared and pointed. "Hmmm?" The other turned and their mouths fell. "KISH?!" Sure enough...Kish was behind Cherry. "Hey Cher-chan." He grinned. "W-what are you doing here?!" Cherry gawked at him. "To be with you..." Kish smiled. "Well...okay..." Cherry blushed. Ria narrowed her eyes abit. She was starting to dislike Kish. She wondered what he was up too. Honey stared in front of her wondering what she was going to sing for the show. "Interesting...place..." Kish looked around. "Yeah...it is." RIIIIIIINNG! The bell rang. "Crap! Gotta' get to class!" The girls went in seperate directions. "You don't go woth each other?" Kish sounded surprised. "Sometimes we do...sometimes we don't." Cherry explained. It felt some weird having the guy you like floating next to you while you walked down the halls. Cherry loved it though. Ria grumbled. "Something is up Honey." Honey agreed. "Kish knows we go to seperate classes now. He'll tell the others and they'll come for us." Ria nodded. "God. The last thing I wanna' do is fight Kirema Animas during school hours." "Flip the switch Sam." Cassie looked around the class room. "Switch? The lights are on..." "Not that switch!" Sammy gave Cassie a strange look but made a clicking noise. Cassie then made a rocket noise and jumped around the class room. "CASSIE!" The teacher walked in. "Eek!" Cassie fell and her husky ears popped out. "Oh!" Sammy held Cassie's head and rushed her to the back of the class. "Your ears!" She hissed. Cassie looked up. "Eek!" She said again and pushed down on her ears. "God damn! Damn!" Cassie felt her ears go away. "I've got to stop that from happening..." Sammy nodded.

It was suddenly the opening night of the Talent Show and the auditoreum was packed. Honey brushed off her outfit. She wore a yellow summer-y dress with sandal high heels. "You look so pretty!" Ria smiled and held onto Masato's arm. Masato agreed. The girls gossiped for awhile until a teacher scooted them away. Honey gulped. She never felt so nervous but she was glad to have Cherry,Sammy and Cassie with her. "Honey's group! Your up next!" They grinned. The second they stepped onto the stage snow began to fall. "Indoors? Snow?" Sammy looked around. The people around them began to freeze over. Metellus appeared above the stage. "Time to die Mew Mews!" She grinned and formed a icicle in her hand. "Thunderous Icicle!" She yelled and threw the weapon at the Mew Mews. The girls dodged. "Mew Mew Honey! Metemorphosis!" Honey then transformed into her Mew self. The others did the same. Honey grabbed a microphone. "How dare you ruin a free school function! For this...I will make you pay! Rar!" Honey made her speech. "Hachinosu Wand!" Honey's weapon appeared. "Ribbooooon,Hachimitsu Bee Sting!" Honey attacked. It didn't pahse Metellus one bit. The other girls got their weapons. "MULTI-ATTACK!" They yelled and a multicolored beam slammed into Metellus. "AGH!" She screamed and held her stomach. The group grinned. "Multi-Attack! Multi-Attack!" They repeatidly yelled. Metellus coughed out some blood. "Ribboooon,Hachimitsu Bee Sting!" Honey tried her attack again. Metellus dissapeared before it hit her. 'I have GOT to stop thinking I can defeat these girls myself. If only that formula was finished.' Metellus thought bitterly as she went to heal herself. She limped into her room and sat down. While she shut her eyes she heard that hoo-ing noise again. Metellus grabbed her head. "Go the fuck away!!" she screamed. "Go away!!" That other voice then spoke. "I can't do that Metellus. I'm becoming a part of you..." Metellus shook her head. "No! No! Go away!!" She heard herself yell. "Metellus!" Pai woke her up. "Oh..God.." She held her heart. "Are you okay?" Pai gave her a look of concern. Metellus nodded her head. "Nightmares come and go..." Pai agreed.

"Oh! Honey-chan!" Cassie hugged her. "I'm so sorry that this happened!" Honey smiled. "It's okay." The teacher walked up to them. "Your next." "Sorry Needle-sama. I'm dropping." Honey walked off. "Ayi." Cherry followed. Sammy followed without saying anything. "Your last name is Needle?" The girls dragged Cassie out.
