Sorry for not updating for an extremely long time. School started and stuff. Don't kill me for it?

A week or so after Crystal's second fight, and Masaya proclaimed his love for her, Ichigo had almost gotten used to that emptiness in her life. The emptiness being the fact that Masaya doesn't love her anymore.

Apparently, it had affected her so much, that Ichigo had basically become a living zombie. She barely talks at any time, and doesn't even complain when something goes wrong at Café Mew Mew. This, of course, worried everyone, excluding Crystal, Masaya, and Ryou.

"It has to do something with that Crystal." Minto confirmed. Everyone else agreed, seeing it was obvious. "Maybe she did something to Masaya's brain while healing him?" Retasu suggested. She considered approaching Crystal about her healing, but the others quickly shot it down. "The answer is simple, na no da! Crystal brainwashed Masaya into loving her, along with Ryou, Kish, and-" Purin brought her voice down to a whisper for the last words, "-and Taru-Taru." Minto and Retasu glanced at Purin, and shook their heads. "Be reasonable Purin. No one could brainwash a person. Sure, you could probably hypnotize someone, but brainwashing is beyond even Crystal's limits." Minto said. Retasu coughed quietly, and Purin pouted. "Crystal has no limits na no da! She's a perfect freak! A god-modder! A Mary Sue no da!" Purin's outburst of strange insults made everyone stare at here in a strange way. "But… her name isn't Mary Sue…. Is it? Maybe one of her middle names is Mary Sue…" Retasu said thoughtfully. Purin shook her head and showed everyone a thick book. "It's in this book na no da!" Minto took a look at it, and said, "Where did you get it? I didn't know you were such an avid reader Purin." At Minto's comment, Purin scowled and pointed to an empty table. "A customer left it here na no da!"

You all would probably be wondering what the title of the particular book is right now. It's called Everything you need to know about Fanfic writing. It would be useful for all authors or authoress out there, but let's get to the point…

"Fanfic writing? Why would anyone need a guide on fanfic writing?" Minto scoffed. Purin shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know na no da. But look! There's a definition of Mary Sue right here na no da!" This perked everyone's interest, and they peered over Purin's shoulder to read it.

"A Mary Sue (sometimes also known as Mary Su or Sue) is a character with no notable flaws and idealized looks, personality, powers, etc. In other words, a perfect being. Mary Sues are often criticized in a fanfic community, and are mostly greatly despised…"

The definition goes on and on, and when the onlookers finished reading the entry, Minto through her arms up in frustration. "That's very nice and all, but it doesn't say how to get rid of them!" Purin flipped though several pages of the book, and pointed to a passage.

"Mary Sues can only be destroyed by the authors when they feel like it. Otherwise, Mary Sues are indestructible."

"That's just great!" Minto said. "Not only we cannot great rid of Crystal, but we're being controlled by some sort of author!" Retasu and Purin stared at Minto blankly. "Where did you get that idea?" Retasu whispered. Minto stopped her ranting, and sighed. "Never mind about that. I guess we have to figure out some other way to get Crystal out of here."

At that precise moment, Crystal had walked up to the gang and waved hello. "I'm having a sleepover at my mansion tonight. Want to come?" At first, Minto, Retasu, Purin, and Zakuro just gazed at her in awe at the coincidental timing. Minto broke out of her spell and nodded. "Yes, we would love to come. Don't we?" She gave everyone else a secret glare, telling them to accept or else. "Yes. Of course. I could never turn down an invitation from a pretty girl like you!" Crystal didn't catch the sarcasm in Zakuro's voice, and smiled brightly. "Great! I'll see you at 6:00!" She skipped away to do more cleaning, and Minto turned her attention to everyone else again.

Meanwhile, the aliens are working up their latest plot again. Which won't work, of course. But they just want to keep trying.

"Kish! Won't you just snap out of thinking about that Mew!" Pai shouted at the lovesick alien. Tart was also acting in a similar manner, but in a more mild way. Kish glanced at Pai for a moment, and went back to dreaming of Crystal. Pai frowned at his partners' ignorance and stamped his foot to get their attention. "If you don't pay attention, I'll talk to Deep Blue about it!"

That got Kish and Tart to look up at Pai once. Kish mumbled something about interrupting his dreams, and asked, "What?"

Pai cleared his throat, and pointed to the computer orb thing. It was showing a picture of a large mansion. "This is where that perfect Mew lives. She won't expect us to attack there, and the other Mews won't be able to help her if she's attacked. But I've heard that she is having a sleepover with everyone here. So I had to devise another plan to suit the new condition." He paused for a moment, for any questions. The only sound that occurred was Kish's shuffling. Pai continued again.

"When everyone is sleeping, we'll slip inside their rooms and destroy the Mews! It'll have to be Ichigo and the perfect Mew first, then the rest! It's the perfect strategy!" Pai smiled a rare thing to see. But then again, nothing could make his smile like an evil plan could.

"Uh, Pai? I don't think I'll be coming along on this mission…" Kish muttered. Tart nodded in agreement. Pai stared at both of them wildly. "What! This will be your chance to destroy the Mews! Without them, we can successfully take back what was ours!" Kish ignored his partner's outburst and sighed. "But…. Crystal…. I can't hurt her…. Tart can't either…." By this statement, Pai went from angry to furious. "Who cares about this 'Crystal'! She is only a Mew, a human!" Before he could argue his reason more, Kish knelt down and pretended to be sick. "It's not only that… I got a stomach ache…." Tart, seeing that Kish's excuse would work too, rolled over and pretended to be writhing in pain. Pai calmed down at their distress. "Fine! If you two are so incapable of fighting, then I'll do it! Alone!"

With that, he teleported away.

Well, there you have it! Not as long as the other two chapters, but hopefully just as good!

I'll spice up the story, and create a mini-contest. There isn't any prize, but bragging rights.

To participate, just answer the following questions, and see if it's right by the time the story ends. (Which won't be long! Beware!)

Will Pai succeed with his plan and kill the Mews?

Will Crystal die?

Will Crystal stay dead?

Ha ha ha. Hope you had fun reading the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew. Neither do I own the various references of stuff that appear in this story. (For chapter three, I don't really believe I ripped off anything. But sakuuya pointed out that I ripped off Sailor Moon in attacks and such. Because I'm evil, I'll rip it off more! BWAHAHAHA!)

And I'm also glad everyone hates Crystal. :D
