Heylu everyone.

Honey:you always say that!

me:you're absolutely right, I do. anyway, here is the next , AND thanks if you've reviewed. it makes great inspiration. also, sorry about misspelling Tart's name-I'll try to rectify it.

disclaimer:I do not own TMM.I do own Honey.

Honey: I just realised!

me:what?

Honey: you also own Neko! so I'm not the only one! right,right?

me:no. Neko read the fine print. I only half own her.

Honey: WHAT?!

They –the reporters-zoomed up to us as Zakuro whispered something in Ichigo's ear. They were around us in seconds, like flies to a fruit cake.

'Mew Ichigo, who is this orange mew?'

'How do you feel about having a new mew?'

'Are you mew orange?'

I just hid behind Zakuro.

'Clam down!'Ichigo cried, holding out her hands to staunch the flow of reporters. 'Mew Honey-'

'MEW HONEY?' they clamoured.

'Calm down.' Zakuro said in her strong voice. She pulled me towards her and covered my face.

Everyone shut up.

'Let mew Ichigo explain.'

Everyone turned to Ichigo.

'Uh, thanks mew Zakuro.' Ichigo said. 'Anyway,' she continued,' Mew Honey is deaf mute.'

'We'd like to ask her questions about that!' a reporter yowled.

Stupid woman, I thought.

'Deaf mute means she can't hear you and she can't speak, either.' Ichigo explained.

'Oh.' Said the disappointed reporter.

A little random, but it was a good way of hiding my English accent.

'I know sign language!' piped up a random person. He was pushed to the front of the crowd. I poked out through Zakuro's arms. The guy started signing at me. Thank god I knew sign language as well. (Before I learnt a bunch of languages, my mum taught me sign language, in case I came across anyone deaf.... yeah...)

'Mew Honey? Do you understand me?' he asked.

I found my hands and, making sure they trembled, I said 'yes.' Back to him.

'Are you scared?'

'Yes. 'I hugged Zakuro again.

'Leave her alone!' ichigo said. 'We have to go,' she said, turning to us.

She leapt up, and everyone else followed suit. Zakuro grabbed my hand and jumped with me. Once we were in the air, she let go of me. I had to give it to her; she was good at being the 'older sister'.

Once we were a small way away from the cafe, we hid in this alley, transformed back into humans and made our way back.

Once the mews had gone, so had the reporters. I wondered who they were patronizing now. I felt a rush of sympathy towards them.

Mew mew cafe was empty. It started to rain again. Great, I thought, just when it had stopped.

'So, how was the mob for the first time?' Ryou asked as I shook myself. 'wha!' he cried as I soaked him.

'Hell is a good answer. As usual.' Answered Mint.

'But I like the reporters Na no da! They smile Na no da!'

'And we don't?' Ichigo asked.

'You do, but I still like them!' pudding squealed.

'Speaking of which, you were quiet, pudding.' Lettuce said.

'Pudding was quiet because Ichigo didn't say to give them an interview, Na no da!' She did a cartwheel, leapt onto the counter of the cash register and balanced on it, upside down, one-handed.

'That usually doesn't stop you.' Ichigo questioned again, but Pudding had hooked her legs on two brass bars near the top if the cash register place and was swinging upside down. She took a huge swing and pushed herself off the bars. After doing a couple of back flips, she landed on her two feet perfectly.

She pouted towards me. I knew what was coming and gave her some yen before she could say anything.

'I have some questions.' I hinted.

'Fire away.' Ryou replied.

Stupid, stupid man.

'Well...' I began, 'why do we all have food related names? How do we pull our weapons out of nowhere? Why does everyone disappear when we fight? How come nobody knows about us? Does anyone have a suspicion-I mean, we work at mew mew cafe, have the same names, look similar, sound similar, except for me, 'cos I don't talk, but anyway, how do the aliens understand German? Can there be a boy mew? Why are all the mews girls? What do you do if were sick? What happens if were on our-'

'Wha!!!!' Ichigo cried. 'breathe Honey!'

Ryou looked a little uncomfortable.

'The food names are a coincidence. Everyone disappears when you fight because they get scared of the giant monster trying to kill them. Your weapons.... its you doing that. Were not entirely sure how. Nobody knows about us because we make sure no one follows us back. I doubt anyone has a suspicion; we can hide it pretty well. (Really?) Aliens can understand German because they probably have some language gene or something inside them. There might be a mew boy, but mew girls are just easier to get. More girls have compatible DNA. If you are sick, you don't have to fight. If they break into your house, you can. If you are ...' Kiichiro waved his hand.

'You deal with it.' Ryou said.

'Hey!' I exclaimed, waving my hand,' and what was that alien jellyfish? And how'd ya (when I'm agitated, I talk fast, and I talk slang.) know all that?' Then I started to breathe.

'The, alien jellyfish, as you call it, is a chimera animal. A deadly alien that takes over an animal or soul and makes them.... well, you saw the giraffe. Also, what religion are you?'

'Roman catholic,' I replied, confuzzled (I say this more than confused. And I felt confuzzled then.)

'Then, the answer to your last question was that it was God's will.'

'HEY!' I screeched as he began to walk away (I wasn't totally happy with that answer.), 'I haven't finished! How long will we be like this? What happens if we are still like this when we get married? Do we tell our husbands? What happens if we get-'

'You will be a mew until the aliens are defeated. I hardly doubt you will still be like that when you get married. Telling him...no. I will wipe his brain.' He started to walk away. 'Oh,' he said turning around, 'and if you have any more questions, ask Ichigo.'

Poor Ichigo. She was blinking like some rabbit stuck in the headlights of a car.

'Hey, does Kiichirio have any more carrot cake?' I asked.

She began to breathe again. 'I think so. Kiichiro!' She called, 'do you have more cake?'

He walked in carrying cake.

In about five seconds, the cake had gone bye bye.

'How did you eat it whole, Na no da? Can I try, Na no da? Yeah yeah yeah!' Pudding squealed as she jumped on a table and did a handstand. Lettuce fetched some more cake. It started flying though the air and Pudding leapt up and ate it whole in the air. She flipped and landed on her two feet again.

'Yay!' she said, crumbs spraying everywhere whilst waving her hands around.

'Eww, Pudding! Keep you mouth closed!' Mint complained. She turned and looked out the window. 'It's raining!' she complained again.

I swore under my breath in Russian.

'It's not so bad.' Lettuce said.

'Of course it's not bad for you!' Mint screeched,' you're a porpoise! Ichigo! Get me some more tea! And why didn't you tell me it was going to rain today?'

'That why I got you an umbrella.' Ichigo said, coming back with some tea.

'Really?'

'No'

'Ichigo!'

'I need to walk home too. I'm a cat, remember?' Ichigo commented. 'I hate the water more than a bird would. And you can just get a car to drive you.'

'That's not fair, Ichigo!'

'You're absolutely right, it isn't.'

'Honey.' Ryou said, doing the classic trick of appearing out of nowhere, 'here.' He gave me this box with an orange ribbon.

'Uh, thanks. What do I do with-'

'Ichigo deals with questions.'

'Ichigo,' I exclaimed, turning to her, 'what do I do with this?'

'Come!' she replied brightly, forgetting her debate with mint, and lead me to this changing room. 'You can get changed in here!'

'Uh-'I was about to ask what she meant when she pushed me in.

Great. I opened the box and met a dress uniform exactly like the other ones. The uniform was a dress which reached just above your knees, (to hide Ichigo's mew mark, which was on her thigh, I found.) and was very frilly. It was white and orange for me-of course for each mew it was a different colour. There was also a neat pair of black shoes and an orange bandana/headband thing.

I t wasn't my kind of thing, so to say, but it didn't look too bad.

'Honey! Come out, Na no da!'

I walked out. I was met with a bunch of replies.

'Nya~~!'

'Ah! That looks so cute, Na no da!'

'You look ok, but not as good as Zakuro.'

'Humph. You look fine.'

Match them up. First one who gets it right gets a cupcake.

'Are we going to re-open the cafe today?' Lettuce inquired.

'No' replied Ryou, 'nobody's outside. There's no point.'

'However,' Kiichirio said, 'we have this mountain of leftover cake I don't suppose any of would be interested...?'

ZOOM!

Bye bye mew mews, bye bye cake.

When we left mew mew cafe, it was still raining. (Mint got a chauffer) when we got outside, Ichigo gave me her umbrella as we started to walk home.

'Uh, why did you do that? And how did you know this morning it was going to rain?'

She smiled, 'Iromote mountain cats like water, so I don't mind. I saw you were wearing sandals.'

'Thanks. How did you-'

'Cat instincts.'

'Is that why you also loved the Styrofoam yesterday?'

She nodded vigorously.

'That makes sen-arrrgh!' I cried as I stepped in a puddle which was knee deep. Then I lost my sandal. Splendifourous. (What a lovely made-up word.)

About ten seconds later I did it again.

So I ended up walking home barefoot and wearing white shorts (Borrowed).In the rain.

You know what I hate about white? Its see-though. I officially love umbrellas. Whoever invented them was a genius.

But Ichigo's house is still about ten meters away from mine.

Not good.

I was walking barefoot in the rain. And it was an amazing feeling. And the shorts weren't too see-thorough.

But it still mad e my mum hit the ceiling when she saw my soaking.

'Honey! Why are you walking home barefoot?! Do you want to get a cold?! Why didn't you call me to pick you up?!(You haven't got a car yet mum!!!And I don't know our number!)But no! No, you don't listen! (When would I have listened?!?!?!) Get upstairs and dry NOW! We now have hot water so I demand you get in the bath! MOVE IT HONEY!' She screeched.

The phone rang.

'Hello?' I enquired brightly.

'Honey?' said Ichigo, worried, 'what was that strange noise coming from your house just now?!'

'Oh, that was my mum telling me off in Twi (oh, I left that out, didn't I?)'Cos I came home soaking. She talks to me in loads of languages to keep me sharp.'

'Oh....' she sounded relived. 'Hold on, I think my mum wants to talk to your mum. Uh, bye.'

'Bye.' I said . 'Her mum wants to talk to you.' I told my mum, pointing at the phone. I left her too it, went upstairs, had my bath and was in my pyjamas in my bedroom when It occurred to me to check out my mew mark. I got myself another mirror and using the mirror in my room saw it on the back of my head, hidden in the hairline.

It was a dark orange, and it looked pretty simple. It looked pretty catty, too. There were two triangles and a sort of fluffy-looking tail. Under the 'ears' and above the 'tail' there were two lines, one going either way. Not too shabby, I thought as I replaced my hair and started brushing it.

I noticed that my mum had been doing loads. She had fixed all my clothes (super mum!) and done most of the rooms, too.

'Do you like the bamboo in the living room?' She asked, as I walked in, not angry any more.

'Yeah...' I said, transfixed. 'Its very tall....' and it was. It was about my height or higher. I stood next to it to compare.

My mum was working in the kitchen, putting away pots and pans, asking me questions, so she didn't notice when I started chewing something. I blinked. What was I chewing?!

I got an idea. Don't tell me, I thought as I glanced at the bamboo.

Yup, there were definitely teeth marks in one of the leaves.

I got kind of scared and shocked at the same time-and then I felt something pop out of my head. I raised my hands to my head. I felt something there. They twiddled.

I blurted some excuse and ran to the bathroom. I slid in, I was going so fast, and shut the door.

My two red panda ears were sticking out of my head. Again. And my tail was swishing around my legs again, too.

But I wasn't mew honey!

Ichigo had some explaining to do.

Honey: she does, that rascal....(growls)

me:I guess I'd better get on with the next chappy then. cyah!
