Wow…this story didn't get too many reviews as I expected. I mean, its one of my best stories, possibly my best non-one shot. I bet it was the title that scared some people. And the summary. And to answer Mew Mew Fox's question, Masaya first comes in in THIS chapter. Chapter one was explaining the situation, the rest get into fuller detail. As for all the reviewers, totaling in at 5, thank you Mew Mew Fox, Tokyo Mew Mew Lover, Katiekitty98, firediva, and Mew Lizzy for your kind words. They made me feel really good, and a review at the end of a crappy day makes me feel much better. But I better get the chapter going; its 12:03 and I have to wake-up at 7.
I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. But all the songs are written by me. And for later chapters, I might ask my friend Brit for help. I'm sure if I explain myself and give her credit (lots of credit cause she's shown me one of her songs and they are AWESOME!) she'll let me use them.
"Ok, that was good! We have time for one more song. Lets run through My View and then we're done," Ryou said. He tapped the floor with his feet as Tart started pounding on the drums as the rest joined in. Ichigo got ready because Ryou didn't help her in this song; she sang it by herself. "Why am I singing punk? I thought this was alternative?" she thought last minutes
(Imagine this as a Green Day song or something)
Sometimes life's not always as it seems
Different looks from the media
Give it different views
But form all the lies I've heard from you
This world really sucks
You seem to be really good
At putting all this shit in my head
It's my own view
And you can't change it
Go away and hide like you always do
It's my own view
And you can't change it
Go and run away in this fake, fake world
This land of the free
Is the lad from hell of the make believe
And I don't want to be kept in
Your web of lies
These lies are sucking you in
Like a vacuum stuffed to the top
Filled with lies, hate, greed, uh anything else you want to add?
It's my own view
And you can't change it
Go away and hide like you always do
It's my own view
And you can't change it
Go and run away in this fake, fake world
It's my own view
Mine not yours
It's my own view
Mine not yours
It's my own view
Mine not yours
It's my own view
Mine not yours
It's my own view
And you can't change it
Go away and hide like you always do
It's my own view
And you can't change it
Go and run away in this fake, fake world
Fake, Fake, Fake world
Fake, fake, fake world
Fake, fake, fake world
Fake, fake, it's my view!
"Awesome job! We're gonna kill them at the concert!" Kish yelled. Outside was the concert hall as they practiced in the mini-studio on their tour bus. Getting up at 8:00 in the morning with only two fifteen minute breaks from practice. HARD. They all seemed used to it, although Kish sometimes complained about how he was so sleep deprived. A stage crew member walked onto the bus as they started packing away their instruments.
"You're doing pretty good, strawberry," Ryou said, patting her on the head. Ichigo fumed; she did not like being called strawberry. But her attention quickly shifted from the stage crew member who announced the line-up for the evening. "There will be three performances. First up is Mizakuse, than Masaya Aoyama….."
"What! You mean THE Masaya Aoyama! He's my favorite singer! Not to mention….."
"Let me guess Meo, one of those day-to-day stupid little girl crushes?" Ryou mocked. He grabbed his guitar and headed out the door before she could come up with anything clever enough to throw back at him. So she just stuck out her tongue as he left. "Ryou is so mean!"
"So why did you take up our offer, Meo? I mean, what made you reconsider?" he asked, forgetting her last remark about Ryou.
"Nothing to big. Just something personal," she said through gritted teeth, remembering how Ryou threatened her. Just thinking about it pissed her off so much! She was so busy being mad, she almost didn't hear Tart and Pai sigh. "Women," muttered Pai, finishing packing away his bass guitar.
"Don't act like you don't know anything! I bet you're so happy because you get to see your girlfriend from Mizakuse!" Kish shouted, pointing at his older brother as if it was a crime to have a girlfriend and somewhat deny it.
"Ooh, which one? Mint, Lettuce, or Zakuro?" Ichigo asked. This whole conversation was getting very interesting. Plus, she hardly knew anything about Pai, while Kish and Tart had both spilled their whole life story on her last night. She just figured Ryou was a jerk.
"Why is it any of your business, Meo? Its his personal life, stay out of it!" Kish demanded, leaving the tour bus.
"Who let him near the caffeine?" Pai muttered.
"Psst! Ichigo! I'll tell you which one he likes! Pai likes Lettuce. Way back when, Ryou used to date Lettuce. The relationship looked so perfect. And then he one day broke up with her. She was totally demolished. Not to mention she was having family troubles. Her dad was trying to get all this money out of her. Pai helped sort out her life."
Pai could hear Tart's little conversation with Ichigo. He glared at his younger brother as he grabbed his guitar and left the bus. "Come on Meo; we better go."

Tar-Tar!" a young girl shouted back stage. She jumped on him and gave him a hug. She continued glomping him until finally, his muffled voice said, "Pudding…..can't……breathe….."
She instantly backed away from him to give him some air. "Sorry Tar-Tar!" Ichigo figured out that she must be a friend of the bands. "Hello Pudding, my name is Meo."
"Hi-hies!" Pudding said. Tart had caught his breath as he choked out, "She's our new lead singer!"
"Wow! They wouldn't even give me that job! Well, I'll see you later! Good luck Meo! Good luck Tar-Tar!" she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Tart started fuming that she was doing that to him in public, but Ichigo wasn't paying attention because someone had tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I don't think I've seen you around here. My name is….."
"Masaya Aoyama!" Ichigo blurted out.
"Uh….yeah…..I'm going to have to see your pass, otherwise you'll have to leave…." He said, thinking she was a crazed fan after him.
"She's our new lead singer idiot!" Tart said, obviously showing his dislike for the taller male singer.
"Why the hostility, Tart? Or should I say Tar-Tar?"
"Why you….."
"Sorry, but I don't have time for this. I'll see you later……"
"Meo! My name is Meo!"
"Cool. Well, bye Meo." Meo was floating one cloud nine as a voice echoed from behind her, "Meo? That sounds like a name for a cat!"
"Hey!"
"Security! Remove this crazy fan from my sight!"
"I am not a crazy fan!"
"Mint, stop picking on her," Lettuce said, trying to break up the fight she knew was going to start soon. The three had just gotten finished with their performance and were tired, and they didn't need Mint starting an endless argument with someone.
"I'm just teasing her! Can't a girl have some fun? I know who she is; she's the new lead singer for the Mew Mews."
"Well you should stop being rude!" Lettuce scolded. "Hello, my name is Lettuce, and this is Zakuro."
"Hey," Zakuro muttered.
"Hi. Nice to meet you guys. Your music's really cool."
"Compared to you, its probably 10 times better."
"Mint!"
"I'll think of her what I want to think of her. But first, let's see what she's got." Masaya Aoyama walked off the stage as the stage manager shouted, "Go guys; you're up."
"Good luck Meo!" Lettuce cheered. They walked to the middle of both curtains; soon the first would open and their show would begin. Ryou glanced at Ichigo to see how she was doing. She seemed pretty preoccupied with her feet. "You nervous?" he asked.
"Yeah, a little."
"Well, the audience will be in front of you, not down there, so look up."
Ichigo was so mad, but her temper cooled as she heard Ryou say, "Don't be nervous. You'll do a great job, strawberry."
The dry-ice created a fog as Kish and Pai started the music with the bass and keyboard. Tart followed, adding a beat with the drums, and Ryou came after, adding the melody he and Ichigo would sing to. After all, this was a two-part song.
Ryou: Running as fast as I can
To just get away
From all this crap you give me
Ichigo: I can't stand it any more
I just want to scream
As I run I notice you farther away
Wanna be far, far away
Can't seem to get far enough away
Wanna be far, far away
Can't seem to get far enough away
Ryou and Ichigo: Far away from you
But I can still see your face
Far away form you
I'll be gone without a trace
Ichigo: Hearing you
Seeing you
So far away, but your image is here to stay
Ryou: Following me
Hold me tight
I can't seem to break free from your grasp
Ichigo: Wanna be far, far away
Can't seem to get far enough away
Wanna be far, far away
Can't seem to get far enough away
Ryou and Ichigo: Far away from you
But I can still see your face
Far away form you
I'll be gone without a trace
Far away from you
But I can still see your face
Far away form you
I'll be gone without a trace
(The chorus goes into a round between Ichigo and Ryou twice)
Ryou: Without a trace!
The crowd cheered as Ichigo smiled. Ryou walked up to the microphone and tapped on it a bit before talking into it.
"Are you guys having a good time!"
The crowd cheered even more. Ichigo didn't think she'd ever heard cheering that loud.
"Before we get on with the rest of the concert, I would like to introduce our new female vocalist, Meo!"
The crowd got even louder as he waved Ichigo up to the front of the stage. Ichigo walked up and took a bow. The screaming and clapping continued, as Ichigo looked at Ryou. He had a wide smile on his face and was clapping with them.
Wow; I had that pre-written in a journal and it took me a whole hour to write it. And even though The Mew Mew's have many songs, I am only going to do one per concert. Its so I don't run out of material. Anyway, read and review, over and out. -Nibzo
