Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or settings from Sailor Moon or Mew Mew Power (the dubbed dumb version of Tokyo Mew Mew) and I am unanimous in that!

Chapter Three

The Pink Castle

"Where do we go Aimee?" Mina asked as the Scouts stood in front of Serena's house. Aimee looked around curiously and pointed into a certain direction.

"This way. It seems to be an unfamiliar path I haven't been on, yet so nearby." Aimee said running towards the road.

"Let's go!" Serena said running after her, until she saw the alley she went through before. "This way...I remember when I was late, I took this as a shortcut."

"Good thinking." Lita remarked as they turned down the alley and into the park. They marvelled at the park until Serena spotted a distant building.

"There it is.. the Pink Castle!" Serena shouted happily as she pointed to the pink castle at the end of the park.

"I can't believe it..Serena actually got us here!" Rei said in disbelief. Mina turned to Artemis for answers.

"Do you think it's a mirage?" Mina interrogated.

"Don't know Mina. It could be, the Negaverse did make up some innocent little things and turned them into death traps before." Artemis replied.

"Guess we better check it out." Lita suggested and went onward towards the pink castle. The castle was made of pink bricks and had heart shaped windows and on the top was a golden cat with wings. In the entranceway there was a sign.

"I guess we might as well wait for the guards to let us in.." Serena kidded.

"Hold up." Rei said examining the sign carefully. "Entrees? Deserts? Serena you nitwit this isn't a castle it's a cafe!"

"Desert! Café!" Serena squealed in delight. "Come on! Let's go!"

"Serena didn't you have supper already?" Luna asked her, but Serena was in a daze. One of her favourite things was food, and finding out she found a cafe was one thing Serena loved to hear. Luna glared daggers at Rei. "You didn't have to read us that!"

"I thought it would have been necessary." Rei retorted.

"Then you didn't have to read it so well." Luna replied as Aimee picked her up and followed Serena inside. The cafe was filled with girls in school uniforms of all colours who were sitting on heart shaped seats. The waitresses had a maid type uniform with heart shaped aprons and one was kicking the cash register with her feet tapping in the amount of money with her toes.

"If this was my place..I would definitely fire the decorator." Lita commented. "Really..you couldn't get anymore heart and frilly than this?"

"Hello ladies, welcome to the Mew Mew Café! I am Wesley J Coolridge, the manager of this beautiful cafe." a man with a dark samurai ponytail said. Luna watched Coolridge's eyes as he noticed the cats, expecting Wesley to direct them outside. Instead she received a nice pat on the head by the manager. "Table for five right this way."

"Are you okay Luna?" Serena asked as they followed Wesley to their table.

"I have a strange feeling Serena..how come he didn't say that cats aren't allowed?" Luna answered hesitantly.

"I guess they accept a lot of animals..just look at that waitress." Lita replied pointing to the little blond girl who was kicking the cash register who was now spinning plates of cheesecake. Rei nodded.

"This isn't a cafe..it's a zoo!" Rei said and turned to Serena. "Let's get out of here."

"But I want to try the strawberry tart they had on the menu." Serena whined. "They look so good."

"We aren't here for treats! We're here to see if the Negaverse is involved. If you'll excuse me I'm going to snoop around this place." Rei said getting up from the table.

"Be careful Rei.." Mina warned as her friend turned around towards the bathrooms.

"Rei's going to be fine..what's going to happen to her in a small pink cafe?" Serena said flipping through the menu.

"The Negaverse might decide to show." Lita suggested

"Aww..You guys are such worry warts." Serena implied as she looked at the deserts.

"All I'm worried about is getting stuck with the bill." Lita whispered to Mina comically.

"Me too..." Mina giggled, Serena glared at Mina. "I think you shouldn't have said that."

"I'll pay for it Serena don't worry."Aimee hesitated, but Serena still made a face.

"Some cruddy day." Serena sighed.

"Any sightings Wesley?" a male voice said as Rei went through a strange corridor and peered into a dark room. There were two people hovering around a computer and one of them was the manager of the Cafe.

"Nada..there isn't any predicites in the area." Wesley said. "I knew we should have updated our software for the Mew Project."

"Predicite? Mew Project? " Rei muttered to herself. Suddenly one of the shadows turned around and saw her.

"Hey! This is a restricted area lady..Employees Only!" the man shouted. He walked up towards the light and Rei could see his glaring blue eyes and light blond hair...Jedite?
