Author's Note: Guess what, I'm back! I entered a "rocks, paper, scissors, shoot" tournament at my church last week and won LOTS of hershey kisses, and then I got a pretty new golden locket, and then I ordered more Tokyo Mew Mew manga (I only own 1-3), but none of that's important right now! What is important right now is you reading chapter 2! Enjoy!
Bandit-sama – This chapter is a little boring, but it's part of the story. I'm glad you liked the last chapter!
Stargazer920 – Glad you like it! But the romance parts may gross you out… after all, you do still believe in cooties…
Impatient Girl – Glad you like it! As for the couples, there is one main one that I'm working with and you'll find out soon (as in a few chapters away)! As for the sisters turning into Mew Mews, you'll find out soon. As you don't necessarily have to wait a whole week – what I meant by 'within a week' was that it'll be up in a week maximum.
Disclaimer: I forgot to say in the last chapter, but I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew (sniffle sniffle). However, I do own the McKenna family and this story.
Cherries and Pears – Chapter 2
"Sakura onee-chan, are we there yet?" Nashi McKenna asked. Sakura, Nashi's older sister, smiled down at her.
"Not yet, but pretty close," she answered, running her fingers through Nashi's dark blonde hair as their mother used to do. "You do realize that that's the fourteenth time you've asked that, right?"
Nashi giggled, leaned back in her seat, and said, "I'm just really nervous, onee-chan. I'm scared that we won't be able to find the house or the plane will crash, or we'll be late, or no one will be there to meet us, or-"
Sakura laughed and silenced the nine-year-old girl, "Don't worry, Nashi-chan. We will be just fine! We'll be able to find the house because I got directions from Aunt Miyuki-san. Just relax, okay?"
Nashi nodded in reply and closed her gray-blue eyes. After a short while, Nashi seemed to be asleep. Sakura grinned at Nashi. She closed her violet eyes and ran her fingers through her own hair, separating the brown clumps from the blond highlights as her mother had done.
After about an hour, the plane landed in the Tokyo airport. Sakura woke Nashi up and the two grabbed their luggage from the overhead compartment. They left the plane and headed down the escalator to the baggage retrieval.
"Where to now, Sakura onee-chan?" Nashi asked as the two walked to the main lobby of the Tokyo airport. Nashi was struggling with dragging two large suitcases behind her as Sakura pulled four large suitcases behind her almost effortlessly.
"Well, Aunt Miyuki-san nor Uncle Jiro-san doesn't seem to be here waiting for us, so I suppose we'll just have to walk to the house," Sakura decided. Nashi gasped unhappily.
"You mean, I have to drag these heavy suitcases all the way to Aunt Miyuki's house?" Nashi whined. "Do you even know how far that is? Do you even know how heavy these are?"
"Hey, hey, you're only carrying two suitcases," Sakura argued with a playful smirk. "Yours truly is carrying four suitcases, and that's double yours' weight!"
Nashi immediately stopped complaining and dragged the suitcases behind her with a smug expression on her face. Sakura laughed and led the way through the sidewalks of Tokyo, Japan.
Author's Note: Well, the next chapter will be up within a few days, maybe a week. And just so that you know, I don't really like to write stories about love and romance and mushy stuff (hint hint), so this is almost like a "once-in-a-lifetime chance". See if you can guess whom the cousin Sakura and Nashi are going to live with is! That friendly blue button is right down there…
