Ok, chapter sixteen; the next girl we meet is Hershey. And the last girl we meet and her stats are still unknown, seeing as I thought about six girls when walking home from school and didn't write the information down. But I do have the five other girls. Anyway, chapter 16; here it is people.

I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew.

"Riley is such a jerk!" Skye shouted while talking to herself. She was fuming at his last comment. "I am not a freakin' screw up!" she shouted.

"Talking to yourself again? People are going to think you're weirder than you look," a voice came from behind. Skye turned around quickly and saw Riley walking from behind. "What do you want?" snapped Skye.

"Look; I came to apologize, ok? And to walk you home," Riley stated. Skye blew upward. "I bet its cause your mom told you to. The one who had you when she was about 17?" Skye said. Riley was getting tired of everyone using that little bit of information to pick on him; which was basically his whole life.

"Just shut-up, ok? You don't know anything about me! And just because my mom had me when she was young, doesn't mean she and my dad regretted what they did!" he shouted. Skye was taken aback. Riley turned around. "Hey….where you going?" asked Skye.

"You can walk yourself home. Just show up tommarow after school, and don't be late," he stated. He headed back toward the café. Skye just shrugged and turned to walk herself home.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Riley; you got a minute? Your dad wanted to see both of us" asked Yuki once he entered the café. He settled down a bit and calmly walked toward the lab. Once down there, they met Riley's dad. "Riley; you need to get all these girls together and fast; these indicators show that the IR's are coming faster and sending actually monsters instead of taking over the bodies of animals like last time," Ryou explained.

"Really? God, this just makes my day. First, Skye is a Mew Mew. Then, another person teases me because my mom was 17 when I was born! And now this!" Riley yelled. He went upstairs to cool down. Yuki tried to follow him, but Ryou held her back. "I know you care about Riley, but now he needs to find himself. Just don't worry yourself Yuki," Ryou explained before walking out.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Yuki walked into class yawning the next morning. Since Riley left, it had taken twice as long to get the work done. She felt like sleeping during class, but told herself to stay awake. Riley noticed Yuki's tired behavior and walked over.

"Yuki, is something the matter?" he asked. Yuki tiredly glanced over. "You really need to teach me how to get the profiles open; I spent a little time working on that," she answered.

"Just how much time?" Riley asked.

"Oh, no problem; it only took me from 8:00 to 11:00 to open it. And I finished at…say….2:00?"

"What! I am so sorry Yuki! God, how could I be so stupid!" Riley slapped his head. Yuki just half-smiled as the bell rang signaling the beginning of a new day.

Over in the seventh grade about three hours later……

"Woah! That's a new record!" yelled one of the students in gym class. The gym teacher looked up to find one of the slowest rope-climbers in the whole school beating the fastest kid's record. The aqua-haired girl drifted off into a nap before falling down the rope to the screeching sound of the coach's whistle.

"Hershey Nakota Elinques reporting for duty mam!" she shouted. "Aright kids, off to lunch! Good job today, especially you Hershey!" she complimented.

"Today's lunch is hamburgers! Cool Hershey; you're favorite food!" shouted another girl from the seventh grade. Riley, sitting near-by with Yuki observed the girls in the line. Hershey took a second look at it and just shrugged. "I….i don't think so…..i really don't feel like eating meat today," she said walking right by.

"Now that's weird," stated Riley out-loud.

"I know; I wonder what they put in this cafeteria food?" asked Kaguya as she sat down. She poked it with her fork and squealed. "What now?" Riley asked annoyed.

"The cafeteria food; I just saw it move. And I can tell its winking at me. I think it's alive. What do you think Yuki?" asked Kaguya, looking over to find Yuki sleeping with her head on the table. "Yuki…wake up. I think we found another girl," stated Riley, snapping his fingers in her face.

"OF COURSE I HANDED IN THE REPORT! WHAT, DO YOU THINK I WAS WORKING ON SOME PROJECT INVOLVING SIX GIRLS PROTECTING THE EARTH?" Yuki shouted, awakening from her dream.

"O…k…..Yuki; what do you know about Hershey?" asked Riley. Yuki all of the sudden gave her full attention to Riley. "Oh….um…..Hershey……yeah, she was in my old class. She's really peppy…and she thinks vegetarians are nuts." (No offense to vegetarians)

"Well think again, because I think she's about to become one. Look," stated Riley pointing to her.

"Hmmm……lets see…the whooping crane, Victoria crowned pigeon, giant otter, black panther, red kangaroo, and,"

"The koala; Australia's fierce animal vegetarian," Riley interrupted. Masha, who was usually disguised as Kaguya's ornament, popped up and started beeping in a cell-phone like fashion. A hologram of Skye popped up, and likewise, with R4000, a hologram of Riley popped out of nowhere. "Hmm…..i guess Masha and R4000 can communicate with each other like cell-phones," thought Riley out-loud.

"Hey, that's sounds like Riley…..but he's all the way over there," pointed out one of Skye's friends.

"No he isn't; a mini-Riley is right there!" another friend pointed close to R4000 as Skye jumped out of her seat.

"Oh lookee! My cell-phone; better get that!" she said grabbing R4000, causing the image of Riley to go through her hand. "What do you want!" she snarled into the creature.

"Look; you have to hurry with finding the other girls; here's your next assignment; Hershey Elinques," Riley whispered so only Skye could here.

"You mean the slow crazy girl who gets jacked up on sugar?" she replied. Riley hit his head. "Whatever; just get to it," he said before the hologram disappeared.

"Is everything ok Skye?"

"Of course! Everything is peachy-keen! Nothing wrong here!" she replied and laughed. "That was close," she thought.

After school……………………………………………….

"Yo Riley! How am I going to be able to tell Hershey. Most of the times she's too hyper and blocks out everything.

"Um……..wait for an attack? I'm not sure; just get it done, ok?" Riley replied before walking off.

R4000 started beeping like crazy, like a siren almost. "Hm? What's the problem…..um….what's your name again?" she asked the beeping fuzz ball. R4000 kind of glared at her, either that or it was all in Skye's imagination. "WE need to pick out a name for you…..hmm……how about…..Kirin……no……hmm…..i would name you Hatsu…but then that would seem a little weird. Hmm….on Fruits Basket, there's Hatsuharu….how about Haru? Ok, you're name is now Haru!"

R4000…I mean Haru didn't mind the name thing; he was signaling danger approaching. No one bothered to go through this with Skye. But quickly, one of the IR's approached Skye from behind…..

"GOTCHA!" shouted a seventh grader grabbing Skye moving her out of the way. But the IR wasn't trying to get close to Skye to launch an attack, but to launch a calicite. Luckily, Hershey saw the fast movement while on a sugar-craze and grabbed Skye before the calicite had time to attack her.

"Are you alright?" Hershey asked. Skye looked at the girl in front of her, confused. For someone who had no idea they were a Mew Mew and had to save people, she had already started. Before realizing what was happening, Hershey got up on her own and muttered something before shouting the words…..

"MEW MEW HERSHEY METAMORPHASIS!"

"Right! Mew Mew Skye Metamorphosis!" Skye shouted after Hershey had begun transforming. People were running for there lives and didn't seem to notice anything. Hershey didn't call upon a weapon and just stood there, positioned for attack once Skye came to help.

"Skye Orb Sword!"

The sword with the spherical circle attached to the end dropped into Skye's hand. "Where's your weapon?" asked Skye.

"Don't need one," Hershey replied. Skye looked really confused now. "This…..this doesn't look like the Hershey I know," she thought.

"Hershey Split!"

Hershey started multiplying herself and before anyone knew it, there were thousands of aqua-girls with fuzzy ears and claws.

The original Hershey flew over to Skye. "I don't need a weapon. I can split myself into a thousand copies if I want. But I can only punch, kick, and use my physical strength. I've been going on crime-fighting sprees for the past couple days ever since I knew I had this power," she explained. Her copies were beating the crap out of the calicite, tearing off its skin with the claws.

They dug through the skin and soon reached a center core. The original Hershey called back all of her copies and flew down for a jump-kick. She broke the hard center with one kick and revealed the small, squishy calicite, which Haru ate.

"I didn't know there were others like me," Hershey said, smiling. Skye almost thought for a minute that Hershey had abandoned her childish ways, but that was before Hershey gave her the biggest hug of her life, while shouting, "We are going to be the bestest best of friends!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"You failed again!" shouted a large shadow in the darkness. Another shadow appeared a lot smaller. "I'm sorry; I thought there was only one. The koala-girl has skill, and lots of it. But now that I know how much, I can use that to my advantage," the smaller shadow shouted.

"Excellent," the larger shadow answered before menacingly laughing.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Well, it looks like you both are going to be working here, and guess what? The uniforms are in!" Ichigo said handing the aqua and midnight-blue uniforms to the two girls. They looked like the original Café Mew Mew uniforms. "Looks like you two have some work to do, and just ask the old waitresses if you need any help, okay?"

"Rodger dodger!" shouted Hershey as she raised her hand to her forehead and saluted.

"Oh joy; more work. Isn't saving the world a big enough job?" Skye complained. Riley smirked. "You don't get paid for griping you know; I suggest you get to work," Riley stated. Skye became boiling mad and Hershey did most of the work because Skye was so upset she did hardly a thing.

"Good! Today is over! Time to go home!" shouted Skye. She grabbed her things and headed out the door, or at least tried. Riley was standing in her way. "Go to the mall, right now!" he shouted, handing her a list.

"What do you mean! My shift is over and I am certainly not going to do your grocery shopping!" yelled Skye.

"It's not a grocery list you moron! It's a scan. Masha picked it up at the mall. It's another Mew Mew, so get to work."

"But I'm so tired," Skye moaned. Ryou let out a heavy sigh. "Do this and I'll give you a raise," Riley offered. It didn't take Skye long enough to think; a raise on the first day of work. "I accept!" she shouted.

Ok, time to go, no time to explain, gonna get caught for typing late at night if I don't skid addle. Read and review, over and out. -Nibzo
