T.G: Did I update soon enough? Hope so.

Masaya's ghost: I'm back! Ichigo, I'm back!

Ichigo: WAAAA! Ghosts scare me! Tokyo Gal, help! It's a ghost!

Kish: I'll help you, Kitten.

Mint: (Steels keyboard and starts typing. Masaya's ghost disappears.)

T.G: Okay then… Anyways. Mint, my dear friend, do the disclaimer!

Mint: Not now! It's my afternoon Tea Time.

T.G: It's been your afternoon Tea Time for half an hour! Tart, do the disclaimer, and you'll get candy.

Tart: Awesome! Tokyo Gal doesn't own Tokyo Mew Mew and got this title from NarutoxAna-ki! Hey- this isn't candy! This is a pop tart! GRRRR!

T.G: Please R&R! Also, I've never made a fire before. I've watched one be made, but wasn't paying much attention, so sorry if it's incorrect. And also- what's the difference between a lake and a river? I don't know these kinds of things.

T.G: Also, if it took a while to update, that's because my computer wasn't able to load it for a while. It allowed me to update at ten o'clock at night, but not when I had time? Boy that sucks.

When Lettuce walked into Café Mew Mew with Sapphire, that got her a few curious looks. Everyone started clearing out except Ryou, who lived there, Keiichiro, Sapphire, and Lettuce. Ryou looked much calmer than the last time she saw him. Keiichiro started talking to Ryou before leaving. Ryou went to his room.

"I can't do it!" exclaimed Lettuce. "Yes you can! Now, come on! Besides, it's obvious he likes you!" said Sapphire. "What do you mean?" asked Lettuce, taken aback by this. "Well, I go to this Café all the time, and have noticed how he seems to yell at every one except you," said Sapphire. "That's because- I do everything right!" said Lettuce. "You? Sorry, but you drop ten plates per second. If Ichigo did that, she would have been yelled at beyond belief, and he yells at- Mint, right? - to work harder," said Sapphire. Now that Lettuce thought about it, it seemed to be true. "Now- go knock on his door! If you want, I'll wait outside," said Sapphire. Lettuce nodded, starting to walk to Ryou's room, her cheeks tinged with pink.

She took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. There was the sound of footsteps before the door flew open. "Oh, hi Lettuce. What are you still doing here?" he asked. Her face turned a few shades darker. "I-I was w-wondering if you'd- you'd like to go on a d-date," she got out at last, her face even darker. He seemed completely shocked, but knowing Ryou, he's good at hiding his feelings. "Uh- okay," he replied. "What about Saturday at 7:00 P.M- I'll take you to the movies," he said. "S-sure. I- I better get home before my parents start to worry," she said, and quickly went downstairs. She heard Ryou's bedroom door shut before she went outside.

Sapphire was waiting for her. "How'd it go?" she asked. "H-he said yes!" exclaimed Lettuce. "See? I told you he liked you! Now- just do me one favor," said Sapphire. "Sure. What is it?" asked Lettuce. "Stay away from that river, and keep your friends away from it too." When Sapphire said this, it took all of Lettuce's will power to not start asking nonstop questions. 'What an odd request,' she thought. When she realized Sapphire was waiting for her to answer, she said, "I promise."

Different Dimension:

When Ichigo woke up, she didn't feel like opening her eyes. She was very tired- and cold. 'Hmmm. That's odd. I thought it would be warm in my room,' she thought. She cuddled closer to the warm thing she was leaning on. About ten minutes later, she decided to open her eyes. When she saw green hair, everything came back to her. She was so cold that she could care less if she was cuddling with Kish. She just wanted to be warm and keep her teeth from chattering.

When Kish saw Ichigo awake, still cuddling with him, he was going to tease her, when he saw how pale her skin was. 'Very bad for humans,' he thought. Then he noticed Tart was awake. He was trying to get Pudding off of him with out waking her up, but was having no success. Pudding's eyes quickly snapped open. When she saw Tart trying to push her off of him, she hugged him. "Tar-Tar, stop being so mean, na no da! Pudding's cold!" said Pudding. "But I'm hungry! And don't call me that!" said Tart.

"Okay. Pudding will go eat breakfast with you, na no da!" she said, smiling. "What ever. Just stop hugging me," said Tart. Pudding nodded, and held his hand. "What? Let go!" yelled Tart. "No! You said Pudding couldn't hug you, but you didn't say she can't hold your hand, na no da!" said Pudding.

"Kitten- you need to get up," said Kish. "Mm. Okay," she said, getting up on shaky legs. Kish could tell the cold was taking her energy out a bit. Kish got up and wrapped an arm around her to help her walk. "Wait- Ichigo, food is this way," he said, leading Ichigo towards the food. "Do we have any drinks, na no da?" asked Pudding. "No. Drink the snow," said Tart. Pudding stopped to think for a second before shrugging. "Okay, Tar-Tar," she said. She quickly scooped up some snow and slipped it in her mouth. When she was done swallowing it, she quickly bit into her cake and swallowed a big bite. "I had froat- I mean throat- freeze! Eating afterwards helps, na no da!" said Pudding.

"Tart," said Kish, poking the other alien. "What?" he asked. "I think Ichigo's cold. We- need to build a fire," added Kish. "How'd we do that?" asked Tart. "Oh, oh! Pudding makes fire all the time for her tricks, na no da!" "Really? Could you make one on the ground?" asked Kish, his shoulder starting to hurt from Ichigo leaning on it. "Sure- but we need wood, na no da!" said Pudding. She looked around at all the leafless trees. "Kish, Pudding needs your dragon swords, na no da!" said Pudding. "What? Why?" asked Kish, surprised. "Just give them to Pudding, na no da! She needs them to make fire," said Pudding. "If it'll stop Ichigo from freezing to death," said Kish, summoning his dragon swords, and giving them to Pudding.

"Whoa! These are so cool, na no da!" said Pudding, cart wheeling to a tree. "I wonder if it'll work," she said aloud. "Hey, you better not break them," said Kish as Pudding finally got the young tree down (I don't know enough about trees to pick which kind of tree it was). It was six feet tall and a foot wide. "Tar-Tar, clear a spot over- um- there. Make sure there's no snow around it- it needs to be a bit bigger, na no da. Perfect," said Pudding, after chopping the tree into little pieces. Then she got some stones from who-knows-where and made a circle, putting the wood in the middle. She handed Kish his dragon swords back, and they disappeared.

"Now for the fun part, na no da!" said Pudding, pulling out a match. She struck it and threw it into the wood, creating fire. "Kitten, you should really go closer to the fire," said Kish. He and Ichigo were about a yard from it. When she didn't move, he picked her up, and set her down closer to the fire. After about five minutes, some of the color came back to her face.

She opened her eyes a bit more and stretched like a cat, as if waking up from a dream. "I'm hungry," said Ichigo, who hadn't eaten breakfast. Pudding handed her a cupcake. "Looks delicious!" said Tart, about to grab something from the basket. Pudding grabbed his wrist. "Bad Tar-Tar! You can eat at lunchtime, na no da," said Pudding. Tart made a face, but didn't try to get more food.

Saturday morning:

Lettuce was trying to decide what to wear to her date. She still couldn't believe it. She's going on a date with Ryou! She finally picked a denim skirt that went just past her knees and a green spaghetti strap shirt. She also picked green flip flops to match. It was five o'clock. Only two more hours. She was surprised how her parents reacted when she told them she had a date. She thought they would have locked her in her room for a weak, but simply said to be home before nine.

Meanwhile, Mint had just got out of a dance recital. She decided to fill Lettuce in with what happened. After all, she had been gone when Pai had explained things. She ordered the limo driver to take her to Lettuce's house. When she knocked on the door, she could have sworn she heard someone falling down the stairs.

When Lettuce finally opened the door, she was rubbing her head and mumbling things like, "I have to start holding onto the railing." Mint almost laughed, but stopped herself. "Lettuce- you seem to be even more nervous than normal. Something happen?" asked Mint. Lettuce's cheeks turned pink. "Well- y-yes. Oh- come in!" said Lettuce, still blushing. "Okay. Tell me later. First, I need to fill you in on what you missed," said Mint. When she was done explaining where Pudding and Ichigo had gone, Lettuce sat for a second to take in the information. "Okay, so let me get this straight. Ichigo and Pudding are stuck in another dimension with Kish and Tart?" asked Lettuce. "Yep. Now- tell me what happened," said Mint, causing Lettuce to turn a few shades darker.

"W-well- do you want the whole story?" asked Lettuce. Mint nodded. "Okay, I was going to go swimming in the river, when Sapphire called my name. She said- she said she'd help me get Ryou to go out with me, and then made me promise to stay away from the river," informed Lettuce. "So you do have a crush on Ryou. Pudding was right," said Mint. "WHAT! What did Pudding do!" asked Lettuce. "Don't worry! She only told me- and Ichigo," said Mint. "Oh- and what's this about a river?" asked Mint. "I dunno. Just something she told me," replied Lettuce. "Sapphire doesn't help people like you for no reason- no offense. It must have to do with the river. What about we go for a swim at midnight?" asked Mint. "Mint! But I promised!" "Well, some promises are meant to be broken, and this is one of them," said Mint. "Set your alarm clock. Tonight, we're going for a midnight swim," said Mint. There was a honk from outside, and Mint got up. "I have to go now. Meet me at the river later. Remember- midnight."
