Sorry this took so long! I promise the next ones are going to go faster!

Chapter Three: Suika Akayuki

Suika Akayuki, or Akayuki Suika, looked down at her schedule for the day. She had a lot to do, since she decided to go to Café Mew Mew. Suika wanted to set a romantic mood in the Café, since she knew all everyone's crushes and true loves, or at least she thought she did. So in her planner she had written the order that she would tackle each of the pairings.

Suika walked into the Café with a huge smile on her face. Some people found that smile to be just plain scary, so they hurriedly rushed out of the café. Suika grinned widely at Lettuce, the waitress in green and the first person she saw.

"H-hi. W-what can I g-get for you?" stuttered Lettuce when she saw Suika's large and freaky smile.

"Your boss," said Suika.

"Excuse me?" Lettuce was confused. Would that mean Akasaka or Shirogane?

"Your boss," said Suika. She quickly dropped her creepy smile and began to complain. "This place is a mess! Is this where people go to get food? I came to spend some quality time because it seemed like a cute café, but instead I find this dump! Show me your boss right now!"

Some other customers just stared at Suika, and people who looked carefully at her could tell that her eyes almost seemed as if they were dancing in amusement.

"R-right away!" squeaked Lettuce. "I'm sorry for the trouble!"

Lettuce rushed to the back of the café, and quickly found Shirogane. She told him that a customer asked to see him and wouldn't take 'no' for an answer.

Presently, Shirogane found himself at Suika's table looking exasperated.

"What is it?" asked Shirogane calmly.

"Oh, it's just that—oh you two look so romantic together!" Suika said smoothly. "Are you dating? You must be! Oh, and I'd like some banana pudding please! And did I mention how cute you two look, side-by-side right now?"

Lettuce blushed a deep red, and quickly hid her face so Shirogane wouldn't see it.

"Lettuce, can you please get this customer banana pudding?" asked Shirogane politely.

"Yes!" Lettuce rushed away.

"Wasn't there something you wanted to complain about?" asked Shirogane. "Something about my café being a dump?"

"That was before I saw such a cute couple! If I knew that the café had romance in the air like this, I would've never said that!" said Suika.

"…We're not dating," said Shirogane slowly.

"Well you should! You're totally missing out! That waitress was practically begging you to take her out!" said Suika.

"Was she…?" Shirogane asked thoughtfully.

"You must be living in a rock! Give her a chance! Live a little!" said Suika.

"I…might just do that. Well, if you'll excuse me…" Shirogane walked away, deep in thought.

Suika took out her planner and crossed out 'Ryou x Lettuce'. Then her evil smile appeared again as she looked at the next pair on her list.

"WAITRESS! WAITRESS!" yelled Suika. Ichigo ran up to her.

"Yes?" asked Ichigo.

"You're Ichigo right?" asked Suika.

"That's me! So what do you want?" asked Ichigo.

"Well…I saw a certain Aoyama-kun right before I stopped by here, and he told me to give you a message…" said Suika.

Ichigo squealed. "He did?" Then just as suddenly as her happiness appeared, it faded away and she paled. "But…I…how can I face him…I kissed Kisshu yesterday…"

"Aoyama-kun doesn't have to know that!" said Suika.

"But…it's like I'm betraying him…I've never even kissed Aoyama-kun yet!" argued Ichigo.

"So? Kiss him now! And you don't want to keep him waiting, he's at the park already!" said Suika.

Ichigo jumped. "You're right! I can't let Kisshu-kun's—er…Kisshu's kiss bother me! Bye everyone!" Ichigo ran out of the café.

"ICHIGO!" yelled Shirogane from the back.

Suika crossed out 'Ichigo and Masaya'. The next few couples would be tough. They all involved the aliens, but how would she lure them in?

Akasaka stepped in front of Suika. "May I help you?"

"Um…" Suika didn't know what to say, and just stood there, blushing embarrassedly.

"KEIICHIRO! ICHIGO LEFT, AND WHAT DO I DO WITH THE MEW AQUA?" yelled Shirogane.

Akasaka sighed. "Can he say that any louder?"

Suika's ears perked up. Mew aqua? That would definitely get the aliens here! But how do I get my hands on it?

"Excuse me? Are you…okay?" asked Akasaka.

"Um, yes, Akasaka-san!" said Suika.

Akasaka looked surprised that she knew his name. "Do you need anything?"

"Actually…" Suika started to act again. "It's always been my dream to be a cake chef! Can I see your kitchen? Please? Pretty please? It'd really make my day!"

"I suppose it can't hurt…come with me," said Akasaka, smiling pleasantly.

They went to the back, and Akasaka led her to the kitchen. After they chose a cake to bake together, and measured out all the ingredients, Suika felt that it was time to act.

"Um, Akasaka-san? I need to…I need to use the bathroom," said Suika.

"Oh, it's right over there," Akasaka pointed to a door, and went back to tending the cake.

Suika took this opportunity to walk around. She saw a door that seemed to open up to a high-tech room. Suika entered it, and was relieved when she saw no one there. Shirogane was apparently being a waiter at the moment because Ichigo left.

"Hmm, Mew Aqua, Mew Aqua…" Suika murmured to herself. "There it is!"

Suika had just spotted the water bottle that was carelessly labeled "Mew Aqua" by Lizzy.

"Now I'll just take this…" muttered Suika.

When Suika got back to Akasaka, she apologized and said that her mom called her on her cell phone and wanted her home. Akasaka nodded and gave her a free sample of a different cake.

When Suika left the Café and taped the 'Mew Aqua' to a tree. Then she scribbled a note on a piece of paper that went something like this:

To Kisshu, Pai, and Taruto,

If you don't come here right now, the

Mew Aqua's going down the drain…literally.

Truly Yours,

Your Worst Nightmare

Then Suika hid behind a bush and waited. Just as she expected, the said aliens landed and read the note.

"Now who would our worst nightmares be?" asked Kisshu.

"Who cares? Now we have the Mew Aqua!" said Taruto.

"Hey, this is the same Mew Aqua that Ichigo kissed me for!" exclaimed Kisshu in realization.

"Let's take it and go…we already fulfilled what the note said," said Pai.

"Not so fast!" yelled Suika. "That's a fake!"

"WHAT?" yelled Kisshu.

"That was a decoy! This is the real Mew aqua!" said Suika, triumphantly holding up the original bottle of mew aqua.

Pai looked at the fake bottle sadly. "It looked so authentic…"

"I am a natural, aren't I?" gloated Suika.

"What do we have to do to get it?" asked Kisshu tiredly.

"Oh, not much…" said Suika, grinning evilly.

"What's with that look?" asked Taruto.

"Oh, nothing…" said Suika.

"I've never seen a more evil looking girl…" said Pai.

"Thanks!" said Suika. "Well…all you have to do, is…which one of you should I start with?"

"Me, me!" said Taruto.

"Okay, Taruto. Take Mew Pudding to…the amusement park today. And, Kisshu? Go with Mint to the…movies. And, Pai, you're going to a fancy restaurant dinner with Zakuro. Any questions?" asked Suika.

"Yeah. These are dates aren't they?" asked Kisshu. "Why Mint?"

"…Um…shoot, you weren't supposed to figure that out! Yeah, they're dates. And give Mint a chance, will ya?" said Suika.

"So when do we get the Mew Aqua?" asked Taruto.

"When Pai finishes his date, since that'll be in a while, then all three of you will meet me right here and tell me about your dates. Then you'll get the mew aqua. Agreed?" negotiated Suika.

The aliens looked at each other. Then they nodded at Suika.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Ask them out!" ordered Suika, who was busy crossing out the rest of the pairings from her list.
