Chapter Two: Let's See Minto!
"Her ribbons won't go back in?" Ichigo asked, her head drooping.
"Does that mean we're all going to have to act super happy all the time and never get mad at anyone?" Minto asked, crossing her arms and fuming.
"Actually, we think that it is because you get too much emotion altogether." Keiichiro stated, shaking his head. "Either you exert too much of your regular emotion, or you have a totally new emotion."
"So, I can't be sad, Purin can't be depressed, it's too late for Retasu, Minto can't be nice, and Zakuro-san can't be happy?" Ichigo asked once more.
"Hey!" Everyone shouted. They immediately started shouting at each other.
"I'm happy, I just show it differently!" Zakuro confronted, crossing her arms.
"Purin can't be depressed na no da! It's UNNATURAL!" The monkey jumped around a ball, knocking down things everywhere.
"It's NOT too late for me!" Retasu's ribbons bounced up and down as the girl shivered in fright.
"IF I'M NOT NICE, THEN YOU'RE A DOG!" Minto insulted Ichigo.
"I'M NOT A DOG!" Ichigo whined.
"Bark-a-dee-bark-bark!"
"THEN YOU'RE A FISHIE!" Ichigo smirked. She pressed her lips into a pucker and made fish noises.
"HEY!" Retasu shouted. "I'M THE FISH!"
"PORPISE AREN'T FISH!" Minto screamed.
"LORIKEETS AREN'T BLUE!" Purin shouted.
"YES THEY ARE! TIHATTI BLUE LORIKEET!"
"STOP SHOUTING, EVERYONE!" Ryou's voice was louder than everyone else, so they all got quiet and watched him carefully. "Stop shouting, stop arguing, stop TALKING! If I hear ONE MORE WORD that isn't relevant, I'm going to scream!"
There was a long silence. Then finally Keiichiro spoke.
"Just go on with your daily lives, and everything should turn out for the best."
"Except for one thing,"
All attention was turned to Zakuro.
"The aliens aren't here."
"They haven't been here for months, Zakuro-san." Ichigo said, her eyes drooping.
"What do they have to do with anything anymore, na no da?" Purin asked, inwardly sighing.
"We have no use for transforming now. It seems kind of pointless." Zakuro continued.
"I blame Shirogane for telling me I would be back to normal." Ichigo griped, folding her arms and sweat dropping.
"Whatever. Don't you think that could be the reason why this is happening? Do we miss the fighting, the suspense, the danger so much that our DNA is manifesting all across Tokyo?" Zakuro asked.
"That could be it," Keiichiro suggested. "We'll look into that."
"Now go home, and be here tomorrow. I'll have a new uniform for Retasu made to hide the ribbons." Ryou said, waving his hand towards the doors.
"Humph! How rude!" Ichigo stomped out and left the café.
That night was a Friday, so Minto decided she was going to have a Mew sleepover.
"Onee-sama?" Minto said into the phone. "I'm having a sleepover! Please come."
"Alright, the others are here, so we'll be right there. Give us five minutes."
"Hai, ja ne."
Minto hung up the blue fluffy phone and sighed. The room was too dark for the time of day, and she was getting a little peeved.
"I'll just go re-polish my pendant…." She said to herself out loud.
Minto made her way down the dark passage of her house, into her blue room, with the blue box with a lock. She took the key off from her necklace and opened the box. Inside her was Mew pendant.
All other noise in the house stopped. Minto's breathing silenced. She could almost feel her wings manifesting in her back.
Then the opening of a window shattered that quietness.
Minto jerked around, scared to death.
"Who's there?" She whispered, walking through her house and holding her pendant tightly. "Onee-sama? Is that you? Ichigo? Retasu? Purin? Anyone?"
There were hushed voices. They were very discreet, like they didn't want to be found.
"Ichigo! I know it's you! Come out!"
But Ichigo was no where to be seen. The doors were closed and the windows were still locked. Yet, there was a movement in the next room, the living room. Minto squeezed her pendant and whispered into it.
"There's someone in the house, Mews. Get over here!"
Minto wasn't sure if they had heard her, but she tried. Now all she had to do was check what the thing was. She took step after step, sweat pouring down her as she grabbed the door knob of the living room.
She wasn't sure what the thing was, because the second she opened the door, the door bell rang and the thing was out of the house before Minto saw what it was.
But it was brown.
THE END!
n.n I'm proud of myself. The next chapter will be good, yah! I know everyone's done the sleepover thing before, but mine won't be the whole story.
I've already come up with an ending! And I have all the pairings! There are many love triangles, if not a few love quadrangles. Review please so I can update! I'd update anyways, though. But still review!
