A/N: Auggh, so much going on that I haven't even felt like updating, how sad is that? (Sad as in pathetic). I've had the worst writer's bloc. I'm going to try updating more from now on…

XOXO

(Senshi)

Mamoru walked Usagi home, the two walked in a comfortable silence. As they reached her door Mamoru kissed Usagi gently. She smiled up at him in response before entering the house. To her slight surprise her father stood waiting, angrily in side.

"Um…" Usagi said, "I'm home."

"Where were you?! You weren't with that that man were you?!" Her father yelled.

"Uh…" Usagi hesitated not sure if it was better to tell the truth or to lie.

"Oh dear, they've been going out for so long how could you still be angry about her going on dates? Now come to dinner and forget this," Mrs. Tsukino smiled and winked at Usagi, pulling her father along. Usagi took off her shoes, slid on her slippers and followed. The family talked and argued all through dinner, but something was nagging Usagi at the back of her mind. Ignoring it she went upstairs and picked up the phone to call Minako.

"Hi Minako?" She said into the phone, recognizing her friends voice, "You promised to tell me all about him."

"Usagi, hi. Well for starters his name is Masaya. He's really sweet, funny, and erm really into the environment. Is that good or bad in a boyfriend?" Minako asked confused.

"I think it's a good thing. He has a hobby, you love to sing and play volleyball, and he's into saving the earth. Everyone has their own thing. Mamo-chan and I are into different things, but we work our way around that," Usagi responded all knowingly. Suddenly struck by an idea she asked Minako, "Want to come check out this café called Café Mew Mew? I thought we could all go together tomorrow instead of going to Crown. I met two girls who work there and they made it sound so good. They have really good cakes." Usagi finished.

"Ok I'll call the others," Minako laughed at her friend's love of sweets.

XOXO

The girls met after school and headed towards the café. Ami had printed out directions for them, as usual she was the only one to think of something like this. Arriving at the café Mamoru choked back laughter.

"I thought they said this was run by two guys? Clearly not-" He was cut off by Usagi who nudged him in the stomach. The other girl's sweat dropped, but said nothing. Makoto was the first to open the door. The others followed in. Lettuce was at the register, looking up she greeted them.

"Welcome to Café Mew Mew, how many in you're party?" Lettuce counted, "Hey Usagi, Mamoru." She grabbed the appropriate number of menus and headed off towards a table with them trailing behind.

"Where's Ichigo?" Usagi said looking around for signs of the redheaded girl.

"Late," Lettuce said smiling slightly.

"As usual. Care to introduce us Lettuce?" a girl with dark blue hair in two buns asked. Usagi noted the snotty tone in her voice.

"Oh! This is Chiba Mamoru and Tsukino Usagi. Ichigo and I met them at the park the other day," Lettuce pointed to a table near her and they all sat down.

"I'm Aizawa Mint," Mint responded, "Who are the rest of you?" Introductions were made and the Senshi ordered. More girls came over to introduce themselves. Usagi could tell they were going to be friends. After a few more minutes Ichigo showed up.

"You guys came!" Ichigo chimed, "I'll go get Ryou and Keiichirou."

XOXO

(Mews)

Ichigo went into the kitchen and found Keiichirou hard at work on a cake.

"Can we help you cat girl?" Ryou's voice questioned. Turning Ichigo fumed.

"There are some people I want you guys to meet. The ones that returned my cell phone?" Ichigo said avoiding Ryou's gaze.

"We'll be right out," Keiichirou responded while Ryou looked sulky, about to ask why he was interrupted. Ichigo had clearly read his thoughts.

"I just want you guys to meet them, not everything is a big deal," she said angrily. Ryou followed shrugging. They left the room and set off towards a table near the front of the room.

"Hey Usagi!" Ichigo called coming over to the group with Ryou looking skeptical and Keiichirou looking at Mamoru in vague surprise.

"Keiichirou? Is that you?" Mamoru asked rising from his chair to shake hands with Keiichirou. Everyone looked up in surprise this was unexpected.

"Mamoru and I took a class together at the college," Keiichirou smiled answering the unvoiced, but obvious, question on everyone's mind. "Now I guess we better bring out what you ordered. Ryou could you help me?" Ryou nodded and the two men set off towards the kitchen. As soon as the two were gone Minako broke the silence.

"They're gorgeous," Minako sighed, there was a murmur of agreement from Makoto and Rei, "Not as gorgeous as the guy I'm meeting tonight though."

"Your boyfriend?" Ichigo asked.

"Actually this is going to be our first date. I need to decide what to wear…" Minako frowned in thought.

"I can help, I know everything about clothes," Mint said placing down her teacup.

"Ooh I want to buy a new outfit. When do you get off from work? So we can go shopping," Minako asked Mint.

"I'll just go ask Ryou to let me off now," Mint said matter-of-factly. With that she stood up to find him. It wasn't, but a minute late she appeared dressed in shirt and skirt, a purse in hand. "I'm ready whenever you are."

"Awesome. Anyone else coming?" Minako asked.

"I'll come." Ichigo and Usagi said at the same time.

"Tell Ryou I'm taking off," Ichigo said to a returning Keiichirou, who smiled.

XOXO

(Senshi)

Usagi and Ichigo were beginning to tire. Minako and Mint had ignored them and were discussing a skirt across the store. Usagi wasn't used to being completely ignored by Minako. She tried to think of something she could have done that may have cause Minako to be upset with her. Ichigo rolled her eyes.

"This is soooo boring," Ichigo said, "Wanna go back to the café? It's probably more fun there."

"Sure I'll just tell Minako that we're leaving," Usagi said walking away. After a moment she came back. "Trust me when I say they are not going to miss us."

"I bet Mint said that to you!" Ichigo laughed. As the two girls headed out onto the busy street they didn't notice someone or rather something watching them from the shadows…

XOXO
