The story starts off with RyouxLettuce, but ends with...it's obvious! Please, Lettuce fans, don't get angry at me either! Please review, and I hope you enjoy it! Arigato! Bows
"Grr…what now?" a blonde haired man dressed in royal clothes muttered. He walked down the tall stairs, to find his maids working hard at the tables. The five were busy vacuuming the carpet.
"Konbanwa, Ryou," a shy, green eyed girl said meekly, walking towards the tired gentleman. She pushed up her giant glasses. "What is the matter?"
"Yeah, you almost never-never-ever come visit us, na no da!" A hyperastic girl swung from the banisters from behind Ryou, freaking him out. He backed away quickly from the 'high on sugar' girl and looked to his other servant, who was rather quiet.
"Ah…" Ryou said, a bit ticked off, nodding his head to everyone, "I thought I heard some noise outside, thought maybe I should check, that's all."
A refined young girl sipped some tea from a lounging red chair. "Suit yourself, sire." She said smoothly, crossing her legs. "However, I doubt that there would be anyone here, in the middle of the night. After all," she added, looking towards the silent one, "Even Miss Zakuro couldn't hear it, could you?"
Zakuro blinked at the blue-haired girl from her wiping of the large, grand windows. She looked away towards the ceiling. "I thought I heard screaming," she muttered inaudibly, resuming her job. "So perhaps you should check."
"Oh, absolutely!" the lazy girl stood from the luxurious chair and walked over to Zakuro, who continued to ignore her. "After all, Miss Zakuro is always right, isn't that so?" she said gesturing to the two others.
"But, Minto," the 'high' girl chirped, jumping off the banisters and landing on the carpet. "Didn't you just say-"
"SHUT UP, PUDDING! I NEVER DID SUCH A THING!" Minto roared loudly, causing Pudding to scream and hide behind Ryou. Even the sire trembled at his worker's anger.
"Now," Minto said, regaining her composture. "What was that you were saying, dear Zakuro?"
The green-eyed girl sighed. "Yet another ordinary night at closing the Café Mew Mew." she looked at Ryou. "Will we ever get breaks?"
Ryou looked at her in pity. He knew his clumsy, stuttering girl was always rushing to take care of family and her seven jobs, including this one. Ryou smiled and ruffled her short, light green hair.
"Don't worry, Lettuce." He said softly to match Lettuce's atmosphere. "It's just that nowadays its ever so busy, you know? Once we get into not-so-busy times, I'll let you on a…" Ryou thought for a second. "…Month break."
"Oh!" Lettuce's eyes widened largely. A very red blush came to her cheeks. "Thank you ever so much, sir! Arigato, arigato!"
Ryou smiled. He looked towards the door, which was now becoming noisier and noisier. He glanced at his workers. They looked back at him with a look that said-Hurry up and open the door, stupid! Cautiously, the guy walked up to it, and opened the door, revealing-
"GWAH!" A swarm of rabib fangirls from the forums rushed into the room like a buffalo rage. The four girls took cover under chairs and behind cakes, but the evil fangirls were to powerful. They gushed over everyone, and they did horrible tortures like pulling cheeks and tickling. Unfortunately, Minto didn't get much of attention.
"Hey, where are MY fangirls?" she said impatiently. A random fangirl with millions of freckles came up beside her. From where? Who knows?
"I'm, like, your fangirl-ohemgee!" she said, even hyperer than Pudding. She slobbered over Minto, who took a hammer from nowhere and bashed her on the head.
"We've got to do something to stop these…weird people!" she screamed over the loud atmosphere.
Ryou grunted. He had the most awful time with fangirls trying to do stuff like put lipstick on his cheeks and that stuff. Throwing all the fanatic fangirls away with all his power, he raced towards a corner of the café. Ryou pushed a button from nowhere that said 'Virus Detachment,' all the fangirls became frozen. Pudding, Lettuce and Zakuro Heh heh! Sorry, Minto fans, but I needed some funny stuff! peeled off all the fangirls from their backs and walked over to a panting Ryou.
"What happened, Ryou?" Lettuce said with fear hinting in her words. "How could those people from those forums be able to come to out world?" Ryou shook his head, worry clouding his mind. He turned to everyone.
"I don't know, Lettuce." Ryou said hesitantly. "However, I do know that probably these
'fangirls' hacked into our system. Just be grateful that they didn't take us into 'their' world. He motioned to the four shaky workers not including Miss Zakuro.
"Don't worry about it. The faster we clean up, the faster you girls can go home." Ryou took up a broom as the others did, and started sweeping up the evil rabid fangirls into the garbage bin. Just then, another knock came to the door.
"Who now?" Ryou started saying something under his breath as he 'opened' the broken, beaten door. There was yet another single fangirl, but she was a midget. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Oh, Ryou!" she said, gushing. "Really, you're my number-one fan!" The random girl held up a notebook to the puzzled man. "Please," she said enthusiastically. "Please sign your autograph!"
Ryou shook his head. Even though this girl seemed kind, she could maybe scan his autograph onto the forums, causing more rabid fangirls to come in.
"So sorry," he said with a sigh. "We've just had a terrible, terrible encounter. Could you come back in…" he checked his watch. "…Two years?"
"WHAT?" the fangirl shouted, causing Ryou to jump into Zakuro's arms, as she was right behind him. Everyone sweatdropped.
"I've BOUGHT a hacking system, GOTTEN much advice, WAITED for the downloading of this place, and you refuse meh?" she pushed a finger up to Ryou's nose. Ryou sweatdropped some more.
"For this, I shall punish you!" The finger moved to each waitress as the fangirl continued to rant. "And you-and you-and you-and you!" The girl pulled out a ray gun and some sort of blob. She held it up to the five.
"Well, who should I doom first?" the fangirl said slyly.
Ryou poked at the radioactive blob. "Interesting," he said. "Though I wonder, how will this thing harm me-"
"How dare you insult me!" the fangirl cried. Fire started burning in her eyes as everyone sweatdropped even more. "For this, Ryou, I shall rub this ultra radioactive stuff IN YOUR FACE!" With that, before anyone could stop her, the fangirl jumped on top of Ryou, who was on top of Zakuro, who was now falling onto Minto She dreamily sighed. "Zakuro, I can't believe this…I'm hugging Zakuro, I-" she was stopped dead short as Zakuro dropped onto Minto, squashing her dead flat. and…rubbed it into his face. After some scrubbing, she jumped off.
"There," she said happily. "Don't you look pretty?"
"My beautiful face! Where did you go?" Ryou cried. Pimples popped out everywhere on his face. It ended with a giant one on the tip of the nose.
"ARGH!" Ryou dropped to the ground, crying like a baby.
"Mister Ryou, are you okay?" Pudding rushed at the sobbing guy she worked for, then glared at the fangirl.
"You big meanie-poop, na no da!" Pudding said angrily. "How dare you hit on Mister Ryou?"
The evil fangirl laughed like she was in a Chinese opera, and everyone sweatdropped. "Fool!" she cried. "You ought to respect your elders!" With that, she took out the giant ray gun bigger than herself. "And now, I shall burst you with my injection ray gun!"
"Pardon me," Minto questioned, "But how are you to shoot us with that when you can't even hold it up?" she sniffed arrogantly and took out a furry fan from nowhere.
The evil fangirl blinked. "Good question." She said, scratching her hair. "Could someone help me carry this so I can shoot the midget here?"
"Hey!" Pudding said, shouting from her kneeling spot. She was still comforting the wailing manager. "I'm no midget, na no da! If that were so, then you would be a moron!"
"Hmmph! Villians nowadays," Minto said, her nose to the air. "They really need more practice. I mean, don't they have auditions or something?" Minto turned to her role model. "Right, Lady Zakuro?" Zakuro just stared.
"That's it." Aiming at each of the girls, our antagonist here was smart enough to give the gun to a clueless Ryou and press the trigger. the evil fangirl shot at them all the laser beam, one by one.
That instant, each turned into a different animal. Lettuce suddenly flopped onto the ground and had turned into a sunamari whale. Pudding, still hyper, poofed into a golden lion tamerin-
"Cool, na no da!" Pudding chirped, looking at herself. "I'm a lion!"
"You're a monkey, silly." Lettuce chided as she flopped around, now on her tummy. "It's just the name that's lionish."
Zakuro morphed into a grey wolf, while Minto transformed into a blue ultra-lorikeet bird. The evil fangirl laughed her Chinese opera voice as everyone sweatdropped. Minto cried at her new self, and Zakuro gave her a look.
"MwuhahaHAhaHahahahaHA!" the evil fangirl said happily. "Now, I have my revenge!"
"Hold on a sec," Ryou said, looking at the nutrition information on blob and the ray gun. Yes, he stopped crying! - "It says this effect expires in one year. So does this." He looked up. "Does that include my pimples?"
"WHAT?" the evil fangirl cried. "I thought I got the permanent one-oh, well." She shrugged her shoulders. "How 'bout this-you guys stay like this for one year. I'll come back in one year, and someone-I'm talking about someone from Tokyo Mew Mew-has to become captive of our world. Fair?"
"Doesn't seem that fair, but sure, fine with me." Ryou said shrugging.
The evil fangirl snapped her fingers. "Right, I remember," she said. "In the one year when I come back, if you guys don't have someone from Tokyo Mew Mew-"
"-Get Kish! He's like, the coolest!" Random people from the forums started screaming. Ryou and the others looked around in fear. Of course, no one was there, but they could hear the chants from the internet.
"Anyways," the evil fangirl said, glaring at the sky. "When I come and you guys don't have someone, I just reshot you guys or rub some ultra radioactive blobs."
Everyone blinked. "Tokyo Mew Mew?" Lettuce asked timidly. "Isn't that our team name?" In this story, there isn't a leader as Ichigo isn't fused with the DNA yet.
"Tokyo Mew Mew is the TV show-oh, never mind!" the fangirl threw her hands up. "Anyone from this story will do."
"Alright, then." Zakuro nodded. "As long as I can then continue my modeling job."
The evil fangirl chuckled. "Excellent!" she said. "I guess I'll be off to the forums again! Later!" she then disappeared in thin air. Everyone blinked at the scene.
"What happened?" Minto asked, rubbing her wing. "Am I really going to stay like this for one year?"
Ryou sighed. "Suppose so." He said simply. "We've got no choice. We'll just wait for someone to pass by so we can bag them…"
However, that idea was short lived. Lettuce kept on frightening customers from Café Mew Mew with her flopping around, and the fact that Zakuro was a 'wild wolf with possible rabies' hindered the five from finding anyone to capture. When they finally found some random nerd and presented him to the evil fangirl, she took the guy to the forums and 'accidentally' pressed a button on the trigger of the ray gun which activated the pimples, too, changing everyone back into their animal or pimpled forms.
However, the evil fangirl actually felt pity and gave everyone a chance to become human. As long as all the animal girls wore these fuzzy chokers that had power for twelve hours that strangely seemed much like the Tokyo Mew Mew ones, they would be able to become human again. This didn't work out for Ryou's pimples, and he was forced to stay inside. Two years had passed already, and time was running out. Would pimples seal the fate, or would a certain girl save and also teach Ryou some love?
Coughs, and hold paper up to her eyes
