Chapter 8 - Christmas Special!
"NOOOOOOO! my christmas cookies! They're burnt!!" Keiichiro sobbed and moped at the blackened gingerbread men.
"You'll get over it soon...and that would beeeee rightttt aboutttttt.....now."
"What are you talking about, Ryou? I....wow these cookies sure are black, let's throw them out!!"
Ichigo stared at the stupidity of a certain person and stared out the window of Cafe Mew Mew. Christmas was just a day away and everything was in a panic.
"Let's seeeee, there's Tar-tar to invite, and then there's Kish and then there's Pai, and then my entire monkey tribe!" Purin counted up the list of guests to invite while adding a little bit of her silly charm to it.
"What are you talking about Purin?" Ichigo didn't see why on Earth, Purin would need to invite the aliens for anything at all. "Let me see that list Purin."
Purin handed the list to Ichigo with a cute little innocent smile on her face.
"List of Guests for Christmas...Party?!??! What is this Purin?? What party?" Ichigo pondered what this little monkey girl could be planning and stared at the charming little pictures of three little aliens, one particularly short, with the hair colours of red, green and purple, next aside to the group of little brown monkeys with a banana in each hand.
"My party! I'm inviting people, or aliens, to a Christmas party! Isn't that a good idea Ichigo-onee-san??" Despite the mischevious deeds of Purin, her irresistable grins of innocence made up for it all.
"Will there be tea and biscuits served? I wonder what kind of tea Zakuro-onee-sama would like..." Mint leaned by the frame of the door holding a teacup in one hand and a saucer in the other.
"Hai! And there also will be tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and..."
"Purin!....get to the point...." the pink-haired neko found it cute but annoying that Purin liked to exaggerate things sometimes.
"BANANAS!!!!!" it was quite expected that that would be the ending of Purin's on-going sentence.
"Nani? What about bananas, Purin?" Rettasu walked in to the room with a curious look on her face.
"Purin here, has planned to organize a Christmas party, and in doing so, wants to invite Taruto, Kish and Pai. Oh, and her monkey tribe too...." Ichigo spoke of Purin's idea as if it was the worst thing on the planet.
Rettasu looked at Ichigo with a blank look on her face, "Really Purin? Well....um...I think that's a good idea....don't you think so Mint?"
"Of course it's a good idea if it makes Ichigo irritated, and besides what more does Ichigo want than to have Kish around for the whole day?" Mint sarcasm really got to Ichigo at times like these.
Ichigo stood there looking like she wanted to blow, but was calmed down by Rettasu before Mint could really make Ichigo mad.
During the mini-fight between Mint and Ichigo, Purin crept in to the kitchen to find Keiichiro and Ryou to continue with her party plans.
"Keiichiro-sama? Ryou-san? Do you think you could get these things prepared for my Christmas party tomorrow? Onegaiiiiiii???"
(A/N: onegai - please)
"A Christmas party? That seems like a good idea, did the rest of the girls agree to this too?" Keiichiro actually like the thought of being able to make more baked goods.
Purin looked back at the feuding group in the next room. "Anou....hai! They did!" One of Purin's amazing talents was to keep a straight face while telling lies.
"First things, first Purin. Who's coming?" said Ryou being skeptical.
"Tar-tar-kun, Kisshu-san, Pai-sama, and my monkey tribe!"
"Anou...the aliens I can deal with, but more monkeys? Purin...I think one of you is enough..." Ryou imagined the groups of monkeys doing acts and wrecking the cafe, while eating numerous amounts of food, especially bananas.
"Aw....okay Ryou-san, as long as Tar-tar is coming!" Purin skipped off happily to join her fellow Mews.
"So I guess we should start preparing right Keiichiro? Keiichiro?" Ryou sweat-dropped while watching Keiichiro frantically mixing ingrediants and sticking cookie trays in to the oven.
"Must hurry! Need to make perfectly baked pastries!"
"Ok....then I guess i'll go and get some decorations...."
5 hours later -
"Wai! It's done! Arigatou minna-san!" Purin was jumpy as ever now that they had finished decorating the cafe,
"I'm done most of the cooking! One more batch to go!" Keiichiro carried trays and trays of pastries out of the kitchen and piled them up.
"Anou....Keiichiro, don't you think that's a LITTLE bit too much?" Ryou stared up and down the pile and could already feel the stomache he would have after eating too many of the pastries.
"Anou....Iie." Keiichiro answered shortly and carried on without a care or common sense for that matter.
Christmas Day -
"A party? At Cafe Mew Mew? What a stupid idea... Who's planning it? I bet it's that overly hyper monkey." Kish read the very colourful invitation, filled with pictures of bananas and monkeys, made by Purin.
"Hey! She's my overly hyper monkey! And besides if you think it's such a stupid idea, then I guess you don't have to go. No one would miss you, especially not a certain pink-haired lunatic neko."
"Ichigo?!?! That's right she's going to be there! Then we'd better get going!" Nothing perked up Kish more than the mention of Ichigo.
"Um..Before we go, I think we should prepare. You see this is a "Christmas" party. humans celebrate this holiday by doing a number of festive things, but to cut it short, people give each other presents." Pai stood there explaining what they had to do, while Kish and Taruto stood there...well actually, slumped there, snoring.
Back at the Cafe -
The five mews and Ryou sat down on the cafe chairs and watched Keiichiro rush back and forth putting everything in place.
"Do you think he's taking this a little bit too seriously?" Ichigo could barely keep herself from being dizzy by watching the cook speed around the room.
"You think?" claimed Mint with another hint of her on going sarcasm.
"One for Tar-Tar, one for Purin! One for Tar-Tar, one for Purin! One for Tar-Tar, one for Purin. One for Tar-Tar, one for Purin!" Purin chanted her "Candy sorting ritual" chant and patiently waited for a red-haired midget alien to arrive.
1 minute later -
"WHERE IS MY TAR-TAR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
"You think it's got to her head?" Rettasu asked Mint with a smile.
"WHERE IS KISH!?!?!?" Ichigo panicked just as Purin was.
"Sometimes I don't understand you people...." Zakuro said with a blank expression.
The little bell on the top of the Cafe Mew Mew door rang slightly and three aliens entered.
"TAR-TAR!!!!!!!!!!!!" Purin ran up and pounced the red-haired alien and nearly sufficated him to death.
"Purin!! Can't....breathe!!!!!"
While Purin was glomping Taruto to his death, Kish scanned the room for his koneko.
"Hey, Purin, Keiichiro wants to know if he made enough pas....." Ichigo walked out of the kitchen to find someone she was looking forward to seeing.
"Ichigo! My neko! I knew that you couldn't resist but to have me come here all the time!"
As usual Kish bugged Ichigo, and though she denied her feelings, it was plain to see that she enjoyed it.
Keiichiro came out of the kitchen with a tray of his special cookies and began handing them out.
"For Purin, a Taruto cookie, for Taruto a Purin cookie, for Kish an Ichigo cookie, for Ichigo a Kish cookie, for Mint a tea biscuit, for Zakuro a wolf cookie, for Pai....a Pi cookie, for Rettasu a broken plate cookie, and for Ryou one of his chocolate cookies with a twist."
"How about for you Keiichiro-sama?" Rettasu nibbled at her cookie.
"A chef's hat!!!" Everyone sighed while Keiichiro munched on his "work of art" as he called it.
2 hours later -
"PRESENT TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Purin shouted in Taruto's ear leaving him almost deaf.
Everyone handed out gifts and most of the presents weren't exactly much of a surprise.
"My turn!!!! I give everyone............BANANAS!!!!!!!!!! And for Tar-Tar.......one cute monkey girl with an obsession for a red-haired midget and bananas!!!"
".....Anou....arigatou Purin-chan..."
Later on -
"Look Ichigo! Mistletoe!" the grin on Kish's face grew bigger with a malicious look on his face.
"Eek! Get away from me Kish!! HELP!!!!!!!"
"Tar-tarrrrrrrrrr!!" Purin's piercing scream shot throughout the cafe to Taruto's ears which made him a lot more...hearing-challenged.
Taruto glumly flew over to the hyper monkey and could only imagine what horrors she had in store for him. Apparently, something Taruto wouldn't appreciate. Purin pushed Taruto in the direction where Ichigo was avoiding Kish.
"Lookie up Tar-tar!" As soon as Taruto could realize what was above him, it was too late. Purin planted a light smack on the now red cheeks of "Tar-tar-kun".
"ACK! MONKEY GERMS!!! AHHHHHHH!! COOTIES!!!"
"Do you think we should tell him that there's no such thing as getting "cooties" from the opposite gender?" Pai floated above the frantic chef who was STILL obsessing over his cooking.
"I don't know, (munch) do you think (munch) so?"
"At times, I feel sorry for the stupidity of certain human beings....."
At the end of the party -
"Ja Ne Tar-tar!!!!!!!" Yet again Purin was the loudest voice around and Taruto's ears couldn't stand it.
"Sayonara, Purin-chan..." to everyone's surprise Taruto gave Purin a little peck on the cheek and teleported back home.
"Did....you see that??!" There was a first for everything and this was a first where Mint couldn't say anything sarcastic.
"Ichigoooooo! What do you say I take after Taruto's actions and try it on you?"
To Mint's amusement Ichigo was running around the yard in front of the cafe with Kish chasing her. But sooner or later, Kish caught up with her.
"Merry Christmas, Ichigo." Kish kissed Ichigo on the lips and he was off.
Ichigo stood there blushing like crazy, while Pai followed his fellow friends and left.
"This sure has been an.....interesting Christmas...." Ever since the Mews had got together, things in life were....more exciting, Rettasu thought.
