Well, I'm back! I wasn't too much in the mood to write, so this chapter isn't very humorous…It's also more on the informative side and it's meant to move the plot forward a little…Very little, trust me…haha
Replies to Reviews:
To Mew Lizzy: My little brother said the SAME thing! Exactly the same! I read him all the stories I write, and I love hearing him laugh, so…Anyway, he didn't really watch much of the series…Oh, back to the reply! My brother said that Pudding doesn't say "na no da" all the time, and I replied to him that she kind of does…but maybe you're both right. Either way, try saying Pudding's lines out loud the way I write them, don't they sound kind of cute? Think of it that way, haha! Also, I know they're OOC…I guess this is kind of a parody? I just wanted to put the story in a light mood and make things funny…I do that a lot! Ice cream was so the last few chapters, Pai will get a new thing soon! He'll outgrow Simon as well! Pai is moving on to bigger and better things!
To Lynyrd Lionheart: I'm glad you like Pudding, I like her too! She holds me story together! Oh, and I noticed the Beep Blue too when I was rereading the chapter. I noticed a bunch of typos…but that one really stands out! I guess you can fill in the Beep with anything you want right? Ahahaha!
To everyone else: Thanks for reviewing! Your reviews really made me laugh!
On with the story!
Chapter 4: New Character!
Lettuce and Pudding were watching their changed friends. They were at Café Mew Mew, working as usual.
Zakuro seemed more distant than usual, as if she were thinking of something. She put slip-covers on every chair to make sure no harm would come upon them.
Mint seemed to have little hearts protruding from her. She wass o happy that she had added extra sugar to her tea.
Ichigo on the other hand, kept having mood swings. She would be happy one moment, gloomy the next, and then back to happy. She would hum a little, dance, and a split second later she looked ready to cry.
"What's wrong with them?" asked Lettuce.
"We will never know na no da." answered Pudding.
Lettuce gasped. "The Great Pudding does not know?"
"Pudding does have a thought. Pudding thinks that it has to do with the plant over there na no da."
Lettuce gasped again and looked at the plant. "That's my favorite part of Café Mew Mew!"
"It's also the thing that's making them strange na no da. We might have to get rid of it." said Pudding matter-of-factly.
Lettuce broke into tears. Other than that, life at Café Mew Mew was uneventful.
It was afterward that counted.
Mint offered Zakuro a ride home, and all the mews tagged along. Suddenly, a bear with huge fangs jumped in front of the limo. The chauffeur breaked hard.
"Chimera animal!" said Masha unnecessarily.
Everyone got out of the limo except the driver, who took the opportunity to pull up by the sidewalk.
"Long time no see." said Kisshu. He had seen Ichigo two days ago.
Ichigo looked around her. She had to make sure that no one knew that she was starting to like the alien romantically.
"You!" she pointed at him. "Kisshu! What are you doing here?"
"Me? I'm just here to see my favorite Kitten. Is there a problem with that? And pointing is rude you know." Kisshu replied. Then he laughed maniacally.
"It's true! He told me that too!" said Taruto. Only his head showed, since he hadn't teleported fully. Then Taruto's head dissapeared as he went elsewhere.
"Chimera animal, go!" ordered Kisshu.
The mews snapped into action, each transforming.
"Mew Mew Mint! Metamorphos-is!"
"Mew Mew Lettuce! Metamorphos-is!"
"Mew Mew Pudding! Metamorphos-is!"
"Mew Mew Zakuro! Metamorphos-is!"
"Mew Mew Strawberry! Metamorphos-is!"
The bear patiently waited for them to finish and then attacked. Long claws sprouted from its paws and trapped each of the mews to the ground. They struggled but couldn't move.
"Ahahahahaha!" laughed Kisshu. "Let's kill the mews one by one, shall we? Attack the blue one first!"
There was a flash and a clink of metal. A man with alien ears and long black hair stood. He was also wearing a long black cloak.
"Who-who are you?" asked Mint.
"I am…the Black Knight. I was born to protect thee."
Mint had a faint bluch on her face. Then she snapped back to action. "Don't just stand there! Release me!" she ordered.
The Black Knight nodded and slashed his sword at the bear. The bear immediately let go of the mews.
"Ribbon…Lettuce Rush!"
"Ribbon…Mint Echo!"
"Now, Mew Ichigo!" said Zakuro.
"Yeah! 'Strawberry Bell!' Ribbon…Strawberry check!"
The bear disintegrated.
Mint looked around. "Hmm? Where's the Black Knight?"
Ichigo smirked. "You didn't even thank him."
Mint had a nasty look on her face. "If he had the sense enough to free me quicker, I would've thanked him!"
"Che…I'll be back…" said Kisshu. He teleported away.
Everyone ignored him.
"You would think that someone like the Black Knight would come to my rescue!" whined Ichigo.
"No, it would be more of a blue color…" disagreed Mint.
"He'll be back…" said Zakuro.

"Keiichiro…Masha doesn't think Ichigo likes him anymore." said Masha. He was on first name terms with Akasaka.
Akasaka looked mildly surprised. "Would you rather be with anyone else?"
"Masha wants to be with Mew Lettuce."
Akasaka nodded. "She is the nicest." He said thoughtfully.
Masha was chatting with Akasaka while the mews were fighting the bear. He just barely escaped without anyone noticing.

"I hear your name has been changed to Simon Pai." said Deep Blue.
"It's true. I had it Puddingly changed." said Pai. He was now wearing his usual clothing without any hint of ice-cream. He seemed to be over ice-cream. He must've quit cold turkey.
"I just wanted to get that clear, S.P." said Deep Blue. Their meeting was over and Pai stood in the alter-dimension by himself.
Suddenly, Taruto came teleporting from nowhere and fell on Pai.
"Sorry…what's up Pai?" asked Taruto when he got up.
"The ceiling."
"Eh? You call that a ceiling?" Taruto looked up at the greenish swirls in the alter-dimension. Soon he became hypnotized and fell into a daze.
"Taruto, come here." said Pai, wanting to show Taruto something.
Taruto oveyed, but it was like he wasn't there.
"Taruto, see this? It gives off a great energy reaction. Bring this jewel immediately." said Pai, pointing to a picture on the screen that popped up.
"Yes Pai." said Taruto.
"Eh?" Pai thought that Taruto would force him to come along too. It seemed like there was something wrong with him.
Pai looked up at the "ceiling". Soon, he felt dazed too.
-------------------------------Division Nya---------------------------------
Kisshu arrived at the alter dimension ten minutes later. Taruto had not left yet.
"Taruto, Pai! Let's come up with a plan to destroy the new guy, the Black Knight…What is wrong with you two?" asked Kisshu. They were just standing there and not replying to Kisshu at all, which was normally not a good sign.
Kisshu looked up as if that would solve all their problems.
Soon he became hypnotized as well…

"You idiots!" yelled Deep Blue. No one heard him.
