I know it's a bit early for Christmas, but it's 1:00 AM and I have nothing else to do.

I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew, do you think I would be on this site at all if I did?

Flashback

It was Christmas time and Ryou was pondering on what to get Ichigo. The others were simple, candy for Pudding, tea for Mint, clothes for Zakuro, and some books for Lettuce, but what about Ichigo. He couldn't find the perfect gift for her. 'I need something special, something to show I really care.' He sighed.

Right now, Ryou was in his room, staring at the girls who started a snowball fight. It was Ichigo, Mint, Pai, and Kish against Zakuro, Lettuce, Pudding, and Tart. Tart and Pudding avoided most of the snow, but Pai and Lettuce were freezing becuase Pai was tall and Lettuce didn't have very good eyesight. The three aliens teleported away because they weren't used to having snow everywhere on them.

That ended the snowball fight and the girls, covered in snow went inside to where the aliens were warming up, leaving a trail of water behind them. Once the jackets were taken off, it was time for some hot cocoa made by Keiichiro who called Ryou down for some. Keiichiro, being very jolly (ha, i said "jolly") was nice enough to clean up the trail of water.

The cocoa really warmed everyone up and Ichigo was ready to do something else, since the café was closed for Christmas, she decided to throw a Christmas party. "Please, please, please, please, please." She begged, while giving Ryou those cute eyes that he couldn't resist.

Ryou tried not to look, thinking, 'I must not give in, I must NOT give in" but sighed in defeat. "Fine, but don't wreck the place." "Oh don't worry, after all, YOU will be there, RIGHT?" Again, the eyes were shown again and again, Ryou gave in.

'I hate it when she does that, she gets whatever she wants that way.' "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Ichigo hugged Ryou and gave him a peck on the cheek. Ryou smiled at her, that warm smile that always made her smile too, and it did.

"So, Ichigo, can I do the decorations?" Mint said, breaking the 'moment'. "Yeah, ok, just don't over do it like last time." Everyone remembered last time.

"MINT! What in the world did you do to this place!" Ryou looked around to see the café walls filled with cupids and hearts, the problem was, there were too many and it crowded the walls, there was a banner with cupids on the side saying "Happy Valentines Day!" The heart windows had white and pink tissue paper and everything was pinker than usual. It looked like a box of glitter, and white, red, and pink hearts, and cupids.

"I know, it was a BIT extreme." "A BIT! You turned my café in to a PINK, GIRLY COLLAGE!" "Sorry, anyways it's ALREADY girly, well, I have the best ideas for this place, just leave it to me!" And with that, Mint went out the kitchen door and called up a limo. "I'll start decorating tomorrow! Can't wait for Christmas, it's 12 days away and the party is 11!"

'Twelve Days! That means I have eleven days to get Ichigo a present!' Ryou turned to leave. "I'm going out." He said and left. Keiichiro knew what was going on. 'He's going to look for a present for Ichigo, I hope he gets one in time.'

That was chapter one! Okay, was it good? Bad? Okay? Please R&R!
