I don't own TMM or songs/artists whose titles I use! I'm thinking about changing the title, one of my friends said I should to avoid any High School Musical Confusion, PM me/ review to let me know what you think please. Thank you!

Ryou growled and glared at the machine and then snapped at them, "Just somebody go!" Pai, having the most trust in technology, went first, he thought Diner, as Ryou had instructed.

"Well finally, somebody does something," the machine said. Ryou continued scowling, after Pai Zakuro went, then Kyros, next Lettuce. After Lettuce Pudding went, then Tart, next Mint. After Mint Kin went.

"You go first, Keiichiro," Ryou grumbled.

"Whatever you say, Ryou," Keiichiro said with a shrug and left. Ryou was still scowling at the machine.

"What did I do?" She asked.

"What did you do? What didn't you do? Couldn't you just behave yourself in public for once?!"

"I didn't swear at them, I'm very proud of myself."

"Just take me to the damned diner."

"I don't hear a please."

"Take me to the damned diner, please."

"There we go."

"What took you so long?" Kyros asked in a bored tone.

"The machine was being stubborn."

"You mean the very attractive female," Kin said and nudged Kisshu. Both proceeded to burst out laughing.

"Shut the hell up, we have work to do," Ryou said blushing furiously.

"Aww, Ryou's got a crush," Ichigo teased.

"Shut up, baka-strawberry."

"Don't call me a baka, you baka!"

"That's the best comeback you could manage," Kin snarfed at her. Ichigo glared at him, huffed, and walked away.

"Settle down, you all might as well try to get along, you'll be teammates, and it won't help anyone if you're arguing the whole time."

They all looked around, there was a lot of work to be done, not just to get the diner set up, but before they became a real team. Keiichiro whispered something to Ryou.

"I suppose we might as well tell them," Ryou said with a shrug.

"Tell us what?" Lettuce asked curiously.

"Well, there's two new mews, at least."

"What do you mean 'at least'."

"I mean, there could be more, but there are two that we know of. We can only scan so far."

"Oh shit," Pai said.

"What now?" Ryou asked bitterly.

"There's more to deal with?"

"I said that already."

"Whatever, let's just get this place into shape." Kyros said, while he wasn't the best worker, he didn't want to sit around and do nothing, if he was going to sit around, he'd at least like a book.

"I hate to agree with you, Kyros, but you're right," Kin said.

"When isn't he," Pai said with a roll of his eyes.

"What, you have a problem with me, onii-chan," Kyros said in a mocking tone. Pai rolled his eyes again.

"You two are brothers?" Ichigo asked shocked, but now that she looked at them they were pretty similar looking, but Kyros didn't have the tassel-lock-thing and his hair was black. Kyros was more muscular, though.

"Unfortunately," they both said, then laughed. None of the others had ever heard Pai laugh, they were shocked, some of them hid their surprise better than others.

"So if you all stop gaping like idiots, we can get to work," Kyros said.

"He's right, we'll break down into teams of two. Pai and I will work on the mew locater device, Ichigo and Kisshu, I want you two to go upstairs and start cleaning three bedrooms, I don't care which ones. Pudding and Tart, you two are going to clean the kitchen. Minto and Kin, I want you to start sweeping. Lettuce and Kyros, you two are going to go work on making the outside look decent, there are plants outside that need to be planted. Zakuro and Keiichiro you two will work on the other three rooms. The rooms don't have anything in them, so all you should have to do is vacuum, dust, that sort of thing. When you're done come see me, I'll be in the basement." Everyone went without complaining, while some of them weren't happy with their partner they at least could see the danger signs Ryou was admitting and chose to keep their mouths shut.

Ichigo and Kisshu:

"I can't believe that jerk made us partners," Ichigo muttered.

"I don't mind, koneko-chan," Kisshu said with a smirk. She thumped him on the back of the head.

"OWW!! KONEKO-CHAN! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"

"Existing," she muttered as they stepped into the first room they saw.

"Well this isn't too bad," Kisshu said looking at the empty room with two windows and hardwood floors.

Kisshu put his arm around Ichigo's waist as they analyzed the time it would take.

Ichigo shoved him away, "You're going to dust the window sills then when you're done you're clean the windows, then go do that in the next room. I'm going to vacuum."

"All right, koneko-chan," Kisshu said and grabbed a dust rag. Ichigo grabbed the vacuum and searched for an outlet. They slowly finished this room. Ichigo didn't enjoy vacuuming, she didn't enjoy labor of any sort.

"Let's move on," she ordered.

"All right." They slowly moved on. The last room proved to be harder than the others. There were a bunch of nails and tools ever where, along with a lonely toll box. As Ichigo was picking up a nails she pricked her finger.

"OWW!"

"What is it, koneko-chan?!" Kisshu asked suddenly leaping to her aid.

"Go away," she said as she sucked on her finger.

"Let me see it."

"You'll probably just make it bleed more." He grabbed her hand and forced it out of her mouth, it was bleeding, but not badly, he ripped off a small chunk of his pant leg and wrapped it around her finger.

"Just hold that, I'll finish picking up."

"Thank you," she muttered, she hated Kisshu, but she was grateful that he was willing to do that.

"Let's go see Blondie, we have to find out what to do next."

"Fine."

Pudding and Tart: Everybody Falls

Pudding looked shocked at the state the kitchen was in. There were pots and pans everywhere, the pantry was a mess, there was grime everywhere. Tart just looked disgusted.

"How could someone let their kitchen get in this state, na no da?" Pudding asked under her breath, she cooked a lot, and her kitchen was one of her favorite places in her home.

"Don't worry about it, all we have to do is get this icky stuff out and then we can start to make it look nice."

Pudding smiled, "You're right, Taru-Taru, na no da!"

Tart blushed at his nickname, "Don't call me that," he muttered. They proceeded to grab sponges and scrub away the soap scum, which took two hours to remove it from the walls, sinks, and various other places.

"Do you want to wash and put away the pots and pans, or organize the pantry first, na no da?"

Tart groaned, his arms ached, "Can't we take a break?!"

"No, silly Taru-Taru, na no da, if we took a break everyone else would want to, then nothing would get done, na no da."

"I guess wash the pots and pans." So Pudding washed the pots and pans, while Tart dried them and put them away. After that, despite their aching limbs they proceeded to organize the pantry by type of food. Then Pudding noticed the fridge, so they did the same.

"Yeah! We're done!" Tart shouted.

"Not yet, Taru-Taru, na no da," Pudding said wearily.

"What?! What else is there to do?"

"We have to clean the floors and counters, na no da."

Tart groaned, "I'll do the counters."

"Thanks, Taru-Taru, na no da."

Tart sighed, "Whatever." So they finished, Pudding was staggering when they were finally finished. Tart rushed over to help her even though he was tired as well. Pudding smiled at him and slipped into unconsciousness and Tart caught her so he was holding her bridal style.

Pudding opened her eyes, "I'm sorry, Taru-Taru, na no da!"

"Don't worry about it, everybody falls sometimes."

"Taru-Taru, you can put me down, na no do."

"Sit down for a minute, I'm going to go get Ryou, we should stop if you're hurt."

"But I'm not hurt, I'm just tired, na no da!"

"Fine, at least wait here while I go ask Ryou what we have to do next."

"All right, na no da."

Minto and Kin: Crystal Eyes

"Well this ought to be fun," Mint said sarcastically.

Kin smirked, "It could be worse, have you seen the kitchen?"

"No, why?"

"There's grime everywhere, the place is a wreck, all we have to do is sweep and vacuum this huge ass area.

"I suppose so," Mint said and looked around, it wasn't just one area like the café, it broke off in every which way, like a real restaurant.

"Which half do you want?" Kin asked.

"I don't care. It would be faster if one of us vacuumed and the other sweeping and worked on the tables."

"All right, I'll vacuum," he said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Mint grabbed a broom and started sweeping the area with tile or hard-wood floor. She finished that before Kin was even half-way done. Kin watched her as he was vacuuming, she moved with such elegance, such grace, he smiled as he watched her and sucked up dust bunnies and dirt.

Mint smiled when she glanced over and saw him watching her, she liked being the center of attention. She put down the chair at the tables, then grabbed a rag that had been soaking in soapy water and proceeded to clean the tables and booths. By the time Kin finished Mint was ¾ of the way done with the tables, so he cleaned the windows, he still finished before her. Kin sat down and watched Minto with his eyes that changed color in the light. They looked like crystals, Mint thought. She put the rag away.

"Well that was tiring," Kin said as he sat down to rest before they went to go see Ryou.

"Yes," Mint said as she sat down, she looked at her watch, she would be having tea now.

"We should go see what Ryou has for us next."

"Yes, I suppose so," Mint said somberly.

Lettuce and Kyros: The Circle of Life

Lettuce looked in horror at the tiny circular shaped garden in front of the restaurant.

"We have a lot of work to do," Kyros observed.

"Hai, let's start with the weeds."

"All right," Kyros said and they both got down onto their hands and knees to start the long process of weeding. With all the little pieces of grass and weeds everywhere the task took an hour, even though the garden was small.

Kyros wiped the sweat from his brow, "What next?"

"Well, the plants need watering bad, we're going to have to plant them as well. I can work on that if you want to work on the windows, we'll have to paint 'Red Data Diner' on the one by the door, and the door itself and paint a paw print, but for now you just need to clean them."

"All right," Kyros said as he grabbed paper towels and Windex. Lettuce labored away at the garden while Kyros struggled to get the filth off of the windows. When Lettuce was done planting Kyros had just finished the last giant window.

Lettuce stood up, "Good job, Kyros," she said wearily as she inspected the window.

"Thank you, Lettuce, it is Lettuce right?"

"Hai, well now we should paint the logo, do you want to paint the paw print or the diner's name?"

"I'm not much of an artist, I'll do the words."

"Okay, well we have to decide on a color."

"Why don't just make it a 5-color rainbow, first red, then yellow, then green, then blue, finally purple?"

"Good idea, maybe I should clear it with Ryou first, though."

"He put us in charge, we have nothing to lose, if he doesn't like it then we can paint it a different color."

Lettuce was reluctant, but Kyros had a point, "All right, we'll do that." So they did that, Kyros painted each letter a different color, the same order as the paw print.

"Wow, that looks really good," Lettuce said, admiring the fruits of their labor as she wiped the perspiration off of her forehead.

"Yeah, the paw print is awesome, you're quite the artist."

"Thank you, you did great on the lettering as well."

"Ah, no one will pay attention to the lettering, they'll all be saying 'Wow! Look at that paw print, let's check this place out'," Kyros told her as he hung the "WET PAINT" sign.

"No they won't, the painting isn't that good."

"Well let's go tell Ryou we're done with our little circle of life," Kyros said.

Zakuro and Keiichiro: Empty

"I'll vacuum," Keiichiro offered.
"Thank you, I'll take care of the dusting and windows," Zakuro replied. They finished their task quickly and with ease, faster than Ichigo and Kisshu because they didn't feel the need to bicker constantly, they didn't even feel the need for conversation. Every room was empty, once they finished they both went to go see Ryou.

Ryou and Pai: Heroes

"Well I have a theory," Ryou said. Pai glanced at him as if saying "Well what is it, you idiot?"

"I think that we can reprogram Masha to track mews rather than aliens, each person with DNA capable of becoming a mew has a similar, rare gene. If we have a blood sample from one of the human mews than we can create a tracking device for any person with the gene, they'll more than likely be a mew."

"How is it that Tart, Kish, Kin, Kyros, and I all have this gene if it's so rare?"

"Maybe it's common among your people, I don't know, but you were all capable."

Pai rolled his eyes, "Well for this we need Masha and a mew?"

"Yes, I have Masha, but we'll have to wait for one of the girls to be done." Pai sighed.

Zakuro was the first to come down, "What do you want us to do next?"

"Keiichiro, you can go home, Zakuro we need to run a quick test on you, then you're free to go."

"Thank you, good bye," Keiichiro said and he left to go home.

"What kind of test?"

"We just need a blood sample, you and the other girls have a rare gene, a gene required to be a mew, we need to be able to track people with that gene, so we need a sample of it.

"Fine," Zakuro muttered.

Ryou had the rather large needle, "This might hurt a bit," he warned as he cleaned the spot where he would draw the blood.

"Just tell me when I won't see the needle anymore." Zakuro clenched her teeth and jammed her eyes shut, she hated needles. She hated blood more and had no desire to see her own. She made a fist and when the needle broke her skin she had to fight the urge to howl out in pain, instead she whimpered.

"You can open your eyes now," Pai said, she realized she was holding his hand and looked away and pulled her hand away.

"Sorry," she muttered.

"Thanks Zakuro, you were great, you can go home now," Ryou told her. She walked out wordlessly. Through out there work of creating a software compatible with Masha everyone worked their way down. Ichigo and Kisshu were the next to be done, then Mint and Kin, after them Lettuce and Kyros. Tart and Pudding were the last to be done. Ryou told all the aliens to stay, and the original mews to leave. Tart went up and teleported Pudding home then came back down to the basement.
