Episode 3

Aquatic Dolphin

Pineapple Takes a Stand

It was a beautiful morning at the Aowara Swimming Center. Today was the day of the swim meet. A blonde hair green eyed girl glanced nervously at her two friends, Mikan and Sumomo, cheering from the sidelines. She pulled on her green swim cap and took a cleansing breath. This was the day she would finally do well in swimming, especially now that she had dolphin genes inside her. Now she could stand out among the crowd and get popular. He might even ask her out. "Pineapple!" a dreamy voice called out to her breaking her thoughts. She turned around. It was the star of the swim team, Hirogami. "H-Hiro?" she stammered looking down at the cement, "Um… Hi" Hirogami had been Pineapple's crush since the third grade. But she never had enough courage to tell him her true feelings. Most of the girls at her school loved Hirogami a lot. There were about thirteen fan clubs dedicated to the eighth grader.

"Hi! It sure is a nice day out isn't it?" he said grinning. Pineapple nodded. She was about to say something back when the coach yelled out from the boys' line.

"Hirogami! Get over here!" Hirogami sighed and walked over to the line before calling out, "By the way Pineapple, you look cute." Pineapple turned around to hide her crimson face. She walked in to the girls line and stared in to space.

"Pineapple get ready, its almost time!" The coach yelled again. Pineapple was so busy thinking about Hirogami that she didn't realize she it was almost her turn to swim. She moved forwards trying to rid the butterflies gathering in her stomach.

"Ready, Set… GO!" The referee shouted as the swimmers including Pineapple dove into the water. All right, she thought under the cold water, now is my chance to prove to Hirogami. She emerged and sped off doing free-style down to the end of her lane. She did a twist and headed back like a blonde dart. As she got out of the water the judges gaped at her and said her time.

"5 seconds!" the crowd cheered. Pineapple looked over at Mikan and Sumomo who were shouting their made up cheers.

"That was amazing, Pineapple" Hirogami shouted and hugged her hard. Pineapple blushed and pulled him off, "Umm… Hirogami, I-" but she was cut off by a scream. A girl was sinking into the water. Without a word, Hirogami dove into the water and tried to save the girl. A tentacle wrapped around his waist pulling him away from the struggling girl. "Hirogami!" Pineapple screamed after he did not emerge. She was about to dive in when she felt a firm hand on her shoulder. "Dad?" she said startled by her father's sudden appearance.

"Wait." He said. A tower of water came up and exploded to reveal a Chirema Anima! It looked like a frog with long tentacles. In two of the tentacles were a girl and Hirogami. The frog shot a red laser out of its eyes sending people flying and landing unconscious. "Now its, your turn, Pineapple, change!" her father shouted as one of the tentacles knocked him and Pineapple down. She got up and was about to change when the frog looked at her causing her not to move. Its gaze must freeze people! She thought desperately trying to move. The tentacles grew spikes and were about to strike her when.

"Ribbon Orange Splash!"

"Ribbon Plum Spire!"

The attacks from Mew Orange and Mew Plum hit the monster reverting its mind-hold on Pineapple. Instead it looked at Mew Orange and Mew Plum. The monster raised its tentacles ready to hit the struggling superheroes but was interrupted by Pineapple.

"Mew Mew Pineapple, Metamorpho-sis!" she screamed as a bright yellow light covered her. The light cleared and there stood Mew Pineapple. "I really am a mew!" she said looking into the water. She was wearing a bright yellow two-pieced mew costume that looked like her mother's cut in half. On her head were the ribbon thingies like Mew Lettuce. She totally forgot about the Chirema Anima until the frog-squid hit her with a laser beam. She turned her head and looked at it. "Pineapple Whip!" she cried, "How dare you hurt people for no reason! For your evil actions I shall make you pay!" She swung her whip up. "Ribbon Pineapple Split!" the sharp point of the whip struck the monster hard and it split it in half. A parasite came out and the frog returned to its original size. Pineapple returned to normal to catch Hirogami. His eyes were closed and he was barely breathing. He had scratches all along his body and they were bleeding. Pineapple started to cry. "No, no, no, Hirogami you can't die," she bent over him. Then started to press on his chest until he started to breath again. Coughing and spluttering Hirogami woke up looked up at Pineapple and smiled. "Your okay! Hiro!" Pineapple said relived.

"Yeah, um…what happened exactly?' he said hoarsely. Pineapple thought for a second before Sumomo and Mikan stepped in, back to normal.

"Well, there was a pool malfunction and the pipe blew up." Mikan said quickly.

"The gas knocked you out" Sumomo added. Hirogami nodded before laying back down.

Pretty soon, the ambulance came and took all the injured people to the hospital to be treated. Pineapple went with Hirogami to cheer him up.

"What a happy ending!" Sumomo said tightening her dark blue pigtails, "Its too bad the meet was cancelled though. Pineapple sis awesome" The whole place was in ruins thanks to the Anima. Mikan nodded. Suddenly, something caught her eye in a nearby tree.

"I'll be right back, Sumomo," Mikan said quickly. She walked over to the tree and looked up. Almost instantly, Mikan felt pressure on her lips. She opened her eyes and realized a dark haired alien was kissing her. She pulled away.

"My name is Chocolate, I'm your enemy." He said. He flew up into the air. "By the way, thanks for the kiss, cutie." The alien said and disappeared leaving Mikan standing there with a stunned expression on his face.

"Mikan, are you okay?" Sumomo asked her friend who was abnormally still. Mikan started to spazz.

"Augh! I can't believe a gross alien kissed me!" she started to run around, "The next time I see him, he's dead!"
