Wow, okay, this is going to be very different, probably, because I haven't written this kind of story in a long time….but I guess I'll give it a shot, but don't ridicule it if it's really bad…just laugh and walk away.
"You…like Ichigo?" Kish asks, a confused look on his face.
"Yeah…" Pai says looking away, "Do you have a problem with it!" he says giving Kish a threatening look.
"YEAH! How could you like Ichigo? She's mine, so don't even try to take her a away from me!" he finishes and storms out of the room.
Well, that couldn't have gone any worse… Pai thinks to himself.
With Ichigo
"Hey guys, I'm gonna take a break, think you can handle it without me?" Ichigo asks, opening the door to the café and looking back.
"Yeah, we've got it all under control Ichigo, no worry," Zakura says, trying not to laugh.
Once Ichigo leaves they all let out a long breath.
"I'm so glad she finally realized that she needed to take a break," Mint says, all the tension flowing out of her body.
"Yeah, even I'm not as klutzy as she's been lately…" Lettuce remarks, and everybody starts laughing.
With Kish
After storming out of the spaceship, Kish heads straight over to the Café Mew Mew.
"Where's Ichigo?" Kish asks angrily, storming into the café.
"Um, she went on break a couple of minutes ago…" Lettuce says, trying not to drop the tray she's holding.
"Yeah, you just missed her," Pudding says, a smile radiating her face, "And you know, I'm going to go on break soon too, and you should come with me, and we can play!"
"Um…I dunno, I---"
Mint cuts Kish off, "How about we take a walk outside Kish?…you look pretty tense…"
"Okay…"
With Pai
Okay, now what?
With Ichigo
I don't know if I should do this…oh well, I'm already here, so I guess I'm going to…
She climbs up into the spaceship in search of Pai.
With Kish and Mint
"So, what's wrong?" Mint asks while they walk beside each other, a look of true concern on her face.
"Oh…well…you wouldn't understand…" Kish says, looking away.
"Try me."
"Well, it's just…" Kish looks perplexed.
Mint grabs his shoulders and turns him towards her, "You know you can tell me anything right? And I promise not to tell a single soul."
"Okay…" Kish says, looking for the right words.
"Well?"
"It's just, well, you know how I like Ichigo, right?"
"Yes…"
"Well, Pai's all of a sudden decided that he likes her too…"
"Well, do you know who she likes?"
"Probably Pai."
"Why do say that?" Mint asks, truly trying to be a good friend, but starting to sound way too much like a therapist. She starts walking again.
"Well, Pai's just too perfect, especially now that he's grown his hair out, and he's just way more better than me…" he says, catching up to her.
"Oh, Kish, it may be that Ichigo likes Pai more, but that doesn't have anything to do with him being better than you…"
"Well, who do you think is better?"
With Pai and Ichigo
"Ichigo, what---"
"Don't talk right now. I don't know what's gotten into you, but we need to talk about it. Earlier today you acted like nothing had happened yesterday. Remember? I told you that I liked you and you promised that you wouldn't break my heart, but then this morning you did when you acted like that…." Ichigo looks away, a flood of tears about to come out of her eyes at any moment.
"But Ichigo…last night, in a forest, we kissed, and…don't you remember that?" he looks confused, as he reaches towards her.
"Pai, I don't know what's wrong with you!" she says, pushing him away. She walks towards the door and then turns back towards him, "Maybe you just got me confused with another girl…I'm sure that there are tons out there that like you…"
"What?..." he gets even more confused.
She just rolls her eyes and storms away.
With Kish and Mint
Mint stops and looks at Kish, studying him.
"Um, well, I guess I think you are better," Mint says, frustrated with what she was feeling when she compared the two of them.
"You guess?" Kish says, not happy with her choice of words.
"Oh, I dunno, I think---" she cuts herself off, not wanting to say what she felt.
"You think what?" Kish asks, as he starts to get angry, "You think that Pai is so much better than me? Is that it?"
"No Kish!" Mint says, turning to face him straight on, trying to fight back tears, "I think that I'm starting to like you!"
Kish just stands there, shocked at what she just said and trying to digest it.
Mint can't hold back the tears any longer, and she turns around and runs away.
Okay…well, that's all for now. I was going to finish it with this last chapter, but I think I'm going to hold off on that. Hopefully someone reads this because I've gotten reviews from people wanting me to finish this…so I will, probably in the next chapter…Coming Soon.
