We've decided

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-A week later-Saturday_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Café Mew Mew just about to open but then they received a visit from their favourite aliens.

"Hello." The four said solemnly.

Pudding's smile faded and she looked concerned.

"What's wrong?" Lettuce asked, worriedly.

The four looked at each other and then Pai said, "We're going home."

Lettuce covered her mouth and Pudding went pale. Shirogane-san hid his sadness and shock. The others looked shocked.

"But- but why now? Can't you stay for another week?" Mint asked. She had indeed grown close to Obelia and did not want to be parted from her.

"Yeah! Don't leave now!" Pudding yelled tearfully, hugging Taruto.

"We can't. We already stayed for an extra week." Taruto said, hugging Pudding back, not caring how he looked.

"So… We're never going to see you again?" Lettuce asked, trying her hardest not to cry.

Pai looked down. "… I don't know."

Lettuce bit her lip and Pai went to hug her and she held onto him tightly.

Tearful goodbyes were said. And when Obelia looked at Shirogane-san, she blushed red and remembered her conversation with Pai that morning, before they came.

*flashback*

"Obelia." Pai pulled her close to the wall and lowered his voice. "You need to tell Shirogane how you feel."

Obelia blushed. "Later!" she whispered.

"You don't have 'later'!" Pai argued.

"I… I can't!" Obelia hugged herself. She hadn't told Pai that Shirogane-san had kissed her.

"It's most probably your last chance. If we do come back, he might have someone else." Pai attempted to smile at her then gave her a side hug and walked to his room

*end flashback*

Obelia looked away, still blushing, and went to say goodbye to Zakuro. Shirogane-san watched Obelia turn away and say goodbye to Zakuro and remembered the kiss and what happened afterwards, sadly.

^flashback^

Shirogane-san kissed Obelia; when he stepped back from her, he saw her startled face and felt hurt, regret and stupidity.

Obelia tried to say something but then instead teleported away.

Shirogane-san leant against the wall and face palmed. 'Why did I do that?' he asked himself, angry. He stayed there for a while before escaping to his room.

^end flashback^

After the everyone had said their goodbyes and swapped things to keep as keepsakes, the aliens teleported away to their ship.

Everyone was very sad and didn't say anything. Suddenly, Pai teleported back and grabbed Lettuce and kissed her. Everyone looked away to give them some privacy. Shirogane-san felt a pang in his chest, thinking about Obelia.

Pai stepped back, cleared his throat, said a quick, "Bye." And disappeared.

"…Let's not open today." Akasaka-san said, sad that the aliens had gone but glad he still had his girl. He exchanged a look with Zakuro and both knew they were thinking the same thing.

Lettuce dropped her tray and covered her mouth.

"Lettuce!"

"Lettuce-san!"

"Lettuce-Onee-chan!"

The girls cried out.

"What happened?" Aoyama-kun asked, hurrying into the room with a dustpan and brush.

Lettuce didn't say anything but instead hurried out of the café.

The other girls couldn't follow her since there were some customers so Aoyama-kun started 'waitering' and Mint followed her (Zakuro had the day off, if she didn't, she would've followed her)

Mint followed her to a random place where Lettuce stopped and looked up at the sky.

"Lettuce-san, what's wrong?"

"I can feel something, just wait, something's going to happen." Lettuce reached out and held Mint's hand, still looking at the sky. Mint looked up at the sky too, and both waited.

There was a huge gust of wind and the girls crossed their arms over their faces. When they looked up, they saw two boys.

"Pai! Taruto!" They called out.

Pai instantly ran over to Lettuce and kissed her.

"What happened?" Mint asked Taruto.

"We'll explain when we get to the café." Taruto said, looking down.

The four walked back to the café. When they arrived, all the customers were gone and everyone was waiting for the two girls to arrive.

"Taru-Taru!" Pudding jumped onto him as the four entered.

"Wait, what's going on?" Akasaka-san asked, confused but happy to see them.

Pai and Taruto sat down. "We sorted out the problems that had occurred while we were away, sorted out the political things and then… we had to decide whether we would stay or not." Pai started.

"Pai and I wanted to come back but Kisshu wanted to stay with his girlfriend, Faye and Obelia didn't want to be parted from him and we got into a fight with Kisshu cos he said we should stay with our families." Taruto continued.

"We ended up staying for another week then leaving. But we are going to go back sometimes, to visit." Pai finished.

Everyone was very happy to see the two but sad that the twins didn't come. None sadder than Ryou Shirogane.

Shirogane-san got up and left the room. No one questioned this, at the time. He walked into the kitchen, stood there for a moment, shaking slightly, before losing control. He picked up some dishes and threw them at a wall. 'Why didn't she come back? You baka, you scared her. She thinks you're a pervert!' He picked up another plate and made to throw it at the wall but someone took the plate out of his hand. Shirogane-san shook with anger and turned to glare at Akasaka-san.

Akasaka-san looked at him pityingly. Shirogane-san faced began to crack and tears began to slip down his cheeks. Akasaka-san hugged him and Shirogane-san hugged him back and cried on his shoulder.
