Hello again! I know it's been a while, but here I am now! Thank you Mew-Sahara and Scarlet Sky for being my loyal r&r-ers! I do appreciate you very much!

So, then, F-Dawg…do my bidding.

F-Dawg- CreamandMonkeys does not now, nor will she ever, own Tokyo Mew Mew/ Mew Mew Power, Ryou Shirogane, Keiichirou Akasaka, Kisshu, Pai, Taruto…

((Get on with it…))

F-Dawg- But she does, in fact, own Rice…and me --surpressed sob--

"Guide?"

Pai let go of Kish and pushed Tart off his shoulders. Rice stood nervously, her feet locked together and planted to the ground by the doorway. The small brunette gasped as Pai made his way towards her. He was so…tall.

Pretty soon the eldest of the three aliens stood right in front of her. Rice craned her neck to see his face. He was almost two heads taller then she (she was never a particularly tall person).

"Um…hello." She stammered quietly to him.

"Yo!" Tart questioned as he walked over to Ryou, "Why do we need a guide? We were fine already."

"Because we wanted to make your vacation more enjoyable! With a guide you can see sites, taste exotic foods; you can do the works- we want to make sure you have an enjoyable vacation." Keiichirou smiled brightly after he said this.

"We're having an enjoyable vacation already!" Tart answered back.

Ryou and Keiichirou cringed.

"Eh…I wouldn't mind seeing what kind of places there are on Earth," Kisshu frowned, "But why can't my pretty little Ichigo be our guide? I was hoping to spend some time with her…"

"This one's not hideous." Pai glared down at Rice.

She raised her eyebrows at the alien's comment. Who was he to judge her looks? Okay, she did admit that he was handsome, he would fit into the human male model crowd easily, and he did seem to be fit. She wondered if he worked out. He must look good with his shirt off.

"Sick!" Rice hissed to herself as she turned her face to the floor, feeling her face blush and cursing her Aunt Tama for teaching her to think those kinds of things.

"Excuse me?" Pai raised his left eyebrow at her.

Rice shot her head back up at him, "Nothing. I didn't say anything."

"So, you'll be staying with Rice now." Ryou sighed and folded his arms.

"WHAT? That wasn't part of the deal!"

"Yes it was."

"You didn't mention it!"

"Sorry. Tough cookies."

Rice continued to stare at Ryou horrified.

"Great! Maybe she has a bigger room. This one was beginning to be a little cramped." Kish put his hands behind his head, "And I guess Pai's right. She's not that bad looking."

Yes, it's short, I know. And yes, I know this isn't my best work at all. I not really crazy about this chapter, but what can you do?

I hope you enjoy anyway! Yeah, Rice is beginning to discover Ryou's personality...
