"Welcome to Cafe Mew Mew!" The Blond girl did her best to sound cheerful, but it was hard.
Even after 4 years, Pudding hadn't really gotten used to the fact the Tart was gone. She couldn't have that comforting feeling that maybe not today, maybe not tommorow, but soon Tart would probably launch a failing attack on the Mew Mews.
She sighed. She really loved him. Pudding had grown into a beutiful young girl, and alot of guys had asked somthing from her- but she never accepted. She would always love Tart, Alien or not.
And every night, after all 5 of her sibling were asleep, she'd take one piece of candy, stick it in her mouth, and say to herself, Not today. He didnt come. Maybe tommorow.
But he never came, no matter how much she prayed.
Acctualy, Pudding had done a pretty good job of hiding her longing, But today was the day- That 4 long years ago Her and Tart had been trapped under the Tokyo Dome. All the other Mews had forgotten that day.
Not her. Throughout the day she simply served the cusumers, no cute acts. Not even a simple 'na no da' passed though her lips (Although this didn't suprise anyone because she hadn't been saying it much lately anyway). No asking for Tips. Just a plain waitress.
And that got the rest of the team wondering, mostly Lettuce. After closing, before even Ichigo left, she dropped the line-
"Pudding-san, Whats wrong?"
-Any other day, Puddings reply would be "Oh Lettuce Onee-chan, I'm Ok!"
But not Today.
It might have been the presure that it had been 4 years scince she had seen Tart- 4 years away from somone you love feels like forever.
But whatever reason, today, Pudding ran over to Lettuce and hugged the green-haired mew around her middle.
"Lettuce onee-chan!" She sobbed into her Cafe-uniform. "I loved him! I really loved him!"
Now, any other former Mew Mew wouldn't of know who 'he' was. But Lettuce, being closest to the young girl, had picked up bits and pieces about Pudding and Tart, some from the Golden Lion Tamrin girl herself, and some she had got from the other members of the team.
It was a good thing this scene happend after closing, because it would have really turned a few heads. But still, Ichigo stopped mopping, Zakuro looked up from her book, and Mint even put down her teacup.
"Pudding-san... I'm sorry..." Lettuce wasn't really the best Mew in the 'love' department.
"Pudding." Spoke a voice that spoke not even half as much as the others.
"Zakuro onee-chan." Pudding looked up from Lettuce's grass-green uniform, her arms still gripping tightly around Lettuce.
"Pudding, do you love Tart?" Zakuro asked coolly.
Pudding blinked slowly. "Yes..."
"And Tart? Does he love you?"
Pudding had to think about this. Even after all the times he had said he hated her- Pudding remembered his dyeing words-
"To, well... Tell you the... Truth... I never really hated you."
If he hadn't loved her, why would those be his final words? At least, what he thought were going to be his final words.
"Yes... I think... Tart..." She let her voice trail off to a whisper, then she finished inside her head, loves me.
"If you love Tart and he loves you," Zakuro replied, with equal strength in each of her words, "What do you think will happen?"
"I... Dont know..." Pudding said softly, tears welling up in her eyes. How could anything happen if they were living on different planets?
"What do you think will happen?" Zakuro repeated, her eyes burning holes though Puddings heart.
"Well..." Pudding admited, sighing, "Somtimes, I pretend that I'll see Tart soon, like..."
"Yes?"
"Like those fairytails I used to read Heicha." Her youngest sibling could read books on her own now, and she even helped pick up after the house, but Pudding still took most of the resposability.
"You will see him." Zakuro said, her eyes shining.
"I will?" Pudding asked quizzicly.
"If you love him, and he loves you." Zakuro said, patting the girls golden hair.
"You'll see him again."
"Zakuro onee-chan...Thank you..." Pudding said in a small voice.
