Hey everyone…I was going to make Lost Love a oneshot and do a sequel, but I decided to make more chapters instead. Here's chapter 2, hope you like it! There is, again, lotsa OOC-ness in this chapter. Sorry about that. Please R&R! This is set 3 years after the anime-they're still fighting the aliens, this is just set three years after the anime ends. The first chappie is set in the same time. Obviously. Anyway,here are the ages:
Lettuce-16
Ichigo-15
Mint-14
Zakuro-18
Pudding-11
Pai-19
Kish-15
Taruto-12
Sorry, I know at least some of these are wrong, but these are the ages for this story.
Thanks to my four reviewers, the reviews made my day Thanks to Applecake, Mew-Dolphin, LadyFaith, and Maggie the not-so-anonymous-reviewer. Maggie is my sister. Thanks again, everyone!
Disclaimer: I don't, and sadly never will, own Tokyo Mew Mew. I do own Emiri and Ansoni though.
'Thinking'
"Talking"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pai sat in the tree, looking down at the world beneath him and sighed. It had been almost one month since he had saved the Mew Mew, Lettuce. He didn't know how Deep Blue had found out, but somehow he had, and he had exiled him from his home planet for two full years. Even Pai, who had complete faith in Deep Blue, thought it was a bit extreme. Kish and Taruto had lost all faith in Deep Blue, and now worked together to try to reclaim the Earth. Pai was his only loyal servant left, and he had exiled him. Taruto and Kish both thought he was insane for not giving up on Deep Blue, but if he did, who would save their people?
Of course, exiling him for two full years was a bit severe, and he had no place to go. He decided to come to Earth-he obviously wouldn't be welcome there, but where else could he go?
Pai jumped down from the tree. He was eliciting some odd looks from passersby, and he really needed somewhere to go. He started walking in the direction of, he hoped, Café Mew Mew. Lettuce might be there, and she owed him something for saving her from that Chimera Anima-even though he created it. He sincerely hoped she would help him, because there was no way he could survive on his own for two years.

Lettuce sighed. She had been doing a lot of that lately-she hadn't been herself. All her friends had noticed. She had been working just as hard, maybe harder, than Ichigo, and she hadn't dropped one order for over two days. Everyone was getting worried. They decided to confront her after the café closed.
As Lettuce was preparing to close the café, her friends popped out if the kitchen.
"Lettuce, we need to talk to you," Mint said.
"About what?" she replied, looking surprised.
"Are you alright? You haven't been acting yourself lately…you're quiet, more so than usual, and you haven't broken anything in the last two days. Are you sure you're alright?" Ichigo pressed, looking concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine," Lettuce responded with a weak smile. "I'm just…tired, and I'm trying to concentrate on not breaking anything." 'That was the lamest excuse I have ever come up with,' she thought. "I have a lot on my mind lately."
"Does it have anything to do with a certain purple-mmmmmm!" Pudding tried to ask, before Mint quickly put a hand over her mouth.
Lettuce started blushing profusely. "No, of course not, Pudding! I'm fine. You should all get home. I'll close up."
As the others left, two people walked in. One was a girl, tall and blonde, and the other was a boy, also tall but with dark hair.
"I'm sorry," the girl said. "Is the café closed?"
"We were just closing up," Lettuce replied. "Would you like something?"
"We just came to see if Ryou and Keiichiro were in," the boy replied. "Are they here?"
"No, they just left a while ago," Lettuce answered.
"Ok…if you see them, will you tell them that Emiri and Ansoni came over?" The girl, apparently named Emiri, asked.
"Sure. I'll leave a note for them."
"Alright, thanks. We should be going. Bye."
"Bye."
Lettuce ran to the kitchen to write the note. She paused. 'Was that the door? I thought we had the closed sign up already…' She slowly exited the kitchen and peeked around the corner.
It was Pai.
"P-pai!" she gasped, way beyond surprised. "What are you doing here?" Her face was as red as a tomato.
"I was…err…exiled from my home planet."
"Why?" Lettuce asked, looking truly surprised.
"Ummmmmmm…for…well…for helping you," he replied, looking uncomfortable, to say the least.
"Oh! I'm sorry! But…why did you come here?"
"I…well, had nowhere else to go."
"You're exiled for that long?"
"Yes…" (A/N too many '…'s :P)
"How long?"
"Well…two years…"
"…WHAT! What are you going to do? Two whole years on Earth?"
"I was hoping you might be able to help me with that…"
"Well, I'll try to find you a place. You could live with me, or maybe I could get you an apartment if you wanted more privacy…"
"I don't mind staying with you, if you wouldn't mind…"
"No, I wouldn't mind. I've been living on my own for a while now., and it gets lonely after a while."
'I wonder how we're going to tell Ryou…Keiichiro probably won't mind as much, but Ryou has something against the aliens. It will take a lot to persuade him…'
Just then, Ryou and Keiichiro came in the door "Lettuce, w-what's he doing here!" Ryou said to Lettuce, pointing to Pai.
