Chapter Twenty-Three: I Love You Too

All four of the girls were dancing to a slow CD that Georgia had. Georgia was making them learn how to dance for the prom because she was making all of them go. Even Von for some odd reason.

Each Mew had to dance with Jacob to learn it. And Summer was always blushing when they practiced in the large gardens of the café grounds. Lio and Kirona wouldn't stop laughing and Von just glared and cursed as she hated proms and didn't need to go. She hated dancing.

Von watched as Jacob taught a giggling Kirona to dance. Kirona of course, got the hang of it in time like Lio. But Summer had been standing on his foot the whole way through and Von... Wwell let's just say that Von didn't actually participate in the dancing scheme.

"I don't dance. If you teach me to dance... You burn. You burn like hell Jacob Ayoama" Von hissed, forming a fireball in her hands and Jacob had backed away. Von did scare him. But not as much as Kisham did! Because when Kisham came... Jacob was scared like hell!

So Von sat under the shade of a tree, a heavy hard back book shielding all but her eyes while she read. Georgia just rolled her eyes at the young goth and let the music play as Lio had her turn to dance with Jacob. But Lio wasn;t smiling or giggling this time. She was thinking hard. About what she had told Heiro a few days ago...

FLASHBACK

I'm sorry Heiro... But my heart belongs to someone else... "

END FLASHBACK

Lio sighed as she closed her eyes, letting Jacob lead in the dancing. Lio sighed again and bowed her head. Jacob noticed this and he looked over at Georgia who stopped the music and stared at them. Jacob put a hand on Lio's back and he stared at her concentrated face. (I'm making it sound like she's some orange juice!)

"Llio? Are you okay? Are you ill?" Jacob asked, putting a hand over Lio's forehead. But Lio shook her head gently and opened her eyes, smiling as she looked up at him.

"I'm fine Jacob. Let's have a break now okay? I need time to look for something." Lio said, smiling still and Georgia smirked then folded her arms before taking out her romance dancing songs CD, putting it back in it's case and she stared at her friends, arms still folded.

"Okay then. It's time for... PROM DRESS SHOPPING!" Georgia yelled, making Summer and Kirona squeal happily. Lio and Von, well they rolled their eyes and folded their arms. Lio had an excuse already up her sleeve

"Sorry. Can't. I need to see my grandma. Okay?" she asked, and Georgia raised her eyebrow as she stared at Lio who turned red. Then shuffled to the left a little, getting closer and closer to the gate.

"Okay... BYE!" Lio yelled, running out of the café grounds at full speed. Von stared at Georgia as everyone else stared at her. She didn't want to go shopping. She had other plans. Plans to meet her love. In other words. 'FCUK off I'm meeting Dareto, my boyfriend' she glared those words.

But the tohers thought it was her normal look cos' she was always glaring.

"I'm not doing it. I don't think I should even go. Bye bye" Von said, walking over to the gate and going down towards the deserted park and into the woods. Where she had shared her first kiss, with Dareto. She seemed to have no time for the prom. Because A) she hated it and B) Dareto wouldn't be allowed there. Enough said.

So Von walked towards her destination where it was deserted and she walked through the woods. Von looked around then sighed. He wasn't there yet so she sat on the ground, arms wrapped around her knee's and she was sighing. Von closed her eyes.

When Von's eyes opened an hour later, she saw that someone was sitting on her lap. Von screamed and jumped up. But once she saw that it was Dareto. She stopped and stared at him. Fire in her eyes as he was laughing at her reaction.

"Don't get scared Von! Or am i that ugly hm?" Dareto asked, smirking as Von stomped a foot and glared at him. She felt like grabbing his ears and pulling him up to a tree then nailing him there! But Von didn't thankfully. She just grabbed his arms angrily.

"NO one sits on my lap Dareto! Not even you." she snapped while he chuckled then put two fingers on her chin so that he could look into her angry eyes. Von scowled and she cursed which made him chuckle even more

"You sure are cute when you get angry Von. I like it." Dareto grinned. Making Von lose her scowl and blush a little. Dareto smiled and let her head go as Von stared at him and then gave him a small and shy smile which he returned. Then Von put her arms around him.

"I love you. I don't want to leave you... Dareto" Von whisperd and and Dareto smiled a little, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. Von lifted her head as he stared into her eyes and she closed her eyes, leaning in. Dareto lowered his head and they had a quick kiss on the lips.

"I love you too my little Mew Mew" Dareto whispered and kissed her again, Von returning the kiss as they both closed their eyes and Dareto lifted Von off the ground for a moment. Sharing their love-filled kiss for a rare moment...

Von sat under the tree in between Dareto's legs, her head on his chest and her eyes closed. Dareto's back was against a tree with his arms behind his head (Anime Style) as he stared at Von's head laying on him. He couldn't help but smile as she lay there peacefully.

Von opened her eyes as Dareto put his hand on her head and she stared at him then smiled and put her arms around him, sighing peacefully as he smiled and patted her hair. Von felt happy with him around.

"Von." he whispered and Von stared up at him, he looked concerned so Von sat up properly and stared into his eyes. Daretogave her a small smile and Von put her hands on his face, each staring into the others eyes

"I have to tell you something" he whispered and Von stared then smiled and embraced him tightly. Dareto embraced aswell then he stopped smiling and sighed, shaking his head.

"Von... I'm a King of my country. And i need a bride." he whispered, kissing her cheek and Von stared at him. What he said next made her gasp and stand upright.

"I want you to be my bride... Please" he whispered and Von stared at him as she stood up then turned around. She suddenly shook her head slowly and wrapped her arms around herself. Von sighed then looked at the ground sadly as Dareto stood up and stared at her back

"Von..." he whispered, Von turned around to face him and she shook her head, tears in her eyes, spilling down her cheeks

"I can't... You expect me to leave the planet I love? I can't do this Dareto I can't. I'm a Mew Mew." she cried, Dareto held onto her arms as he stared at her then sighed, putting a hand on her cheek and lifting her face to look into her tear filled eyes

"But why do you want to stay here? It will only be blown up!" Dareto exclaimed and Von gasped, jumping backwards with a shocked face as Dareto stared at her.

"No it won't! The former Mews saved it before and so will we! And I was born here Dareto! No matter what... I will always love this planet! And I will always love my friends no matter what! Because I live here and I protect it!" Von yelled, tears falling on the ground as she yelled and Dareto stared at her then lowered his head.

Once he lifted it again, his eyes looked pure evil and he was scowling. Von gasped and took a step back. Then showed that she had no fear inside her. Von's hair started to fly above her head as she glared at him and she held out a hand where a staff appeared.

"I'm not going to become your queen Dareto! You can't make me! I won't live with you because I'm a Mew Mew! Mew Mew Fire to be exact! The Queen of Fire!" Von yelled jumping into the air and she started to glow.

Von's hair grew to her waist with curls at the end and then a dress formed around her, glowing multi-coloured and the dress reached to her knee's. The skirt flowed out and she closed her eyes. The dress was sleeveless and then sandal heels formed on her feet that were dark orange. Her dress stopped glowing to show that it was also dark orange and Von's eyes opened. A ribbon suddenly flew above her head then fell onto her hair and formed a ibbon at the back of her head.

Von stopped glowing and she glared at Dareto who stared at her with shock. Von touched the ground and she held her staff out in front of her as she glared at her love.

"This planet will never be blown up! Because my friends and I will prevent it!" Von yelled angrily, pointing her staff at Dareto who backed into a tree, sweat pouring down his face. Von suddenly saw that he was scared and she stopped glaring. Then she started to return to her natural form but she fell from using too much energy.

Dareto caught her before she hit the ground and he stared at her as she lay in his arms, bridal style. Tears forming in his eyes as he stared at her small form.

Von opened her eyes to see Dareto sitting near the edge of a pond and she sat up, staring at him as he ahd his back turned to her. Von stood up and started walking towards him. Dareto heard her footsteps and he turned his head to stare at her as Von walked up to him slowly, holding her arm which hurt.

"So you woke up. Do you remember anything?" he asked gruffly and Von stopped at the sound of his voice. And she gave a small nod and sigh, then she fell to her knee's from her weakness. Dareto stared at her as Von stared at the ground

"IOnly that i hurt your feelings when i transformed. And I don't understand... Why am I a Queen?" she whispered. And Dareto stood up, he walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders. Von kept her stare on the ground

"You do know that I was meant to marry the Queen of Fire since I was 4 years old Von" he said and Von looked up at him, her eyes wide and she suddenly jumped up, but nearly fell until Dareto caught her and held her upright. Von sighed and stared at the ground again

"We were betrothed... Until she died. She was older than me so I was thakful. But my father said that I would marry the next Queen of Fire. And she had to marry me. No matter what. But we... Never found her. Because now i know why. She's an Earth Dweller. She's my Mew Mew Fire" he said, Von stared up at him as he wiped away one of her lone, small tears and she smiled, putting her head on his chest and embracing him as she closed her eyes

"Von... I won't make you marry me. It's your choice. You're still young. But you will always be... My little Mew Mew" he whispered, placing a kiss on the top of her head and Von smiled, letting more tears fall from her eyes as she silently cried with tears of joy.

"I love you too Dareto. My King. My love" she whispered, standing there in the embrace.

But un-known to the young couple, they were being watched by someone in a tree. This person sta on a tree branch and held a higher one while they stared at the couple, their eyes narrowingn as they watched the embrace

"I wonder what the other Mew's will think? Their own little Mew Mew companion... In love with an alien. This will go down well." the person hissed, suddenly disappearing as they left the two to embrace. Von crying silently into his chest...
