Chapter 2
Emiko sat down for a quick break before her shift at Café Mew Mew. Her vision blurred in and out of focus. She looked around at some of the other Mews busy working. Yoshiaki was sitting outside with Tade. The cheery girl was sitting on the edge of her seat, telling some exciting story, bouncing with every syllable. The story might have been interesting, but Yoshiaki didn't seem to be listening at all. He was slumped over in his seat, smoking what looked like his third cigarette. Emiko made notes in her mind about every Mew present.
Yoshiaki.: Smoking, tired, dull, possibly hung-over.
Tade: Happy (what else is new?), some new story, defiantly not hung-over.
Yuki walked out of the bathroom, clutching her stomach and wincing. As she walked by, Emiko noticed a red stain on the crotch of her underwear.
Yuki: On period, not very hung-over but defiantly is.
"Hey Yuki, you have a period stain on your jeans," Emiko walked up to the pink haired mew. Yuki's face immediately turned red as she looked desperately around.
"Thanks…do you have something…" Emiko handed off her jacket to Yuki without question.
"Thank you so much," Yuki tied the jackets around her waist, and flashed Emiko a grateful look.
Mikio walked out of the kitchen, rubbing his temples. Deep bags settled under his eyes. Emiko decided to have fun.
"HEY MIKIO WHAT'S UP?!" she yelled into his ear.
"OH MY GOD MY HEAD!!" Mikio yelped out, "SHUT UP!" Emiko chuckled to herself.
Mikio: Very, VERY hung-over. I wonder what happened last night…
"Oh, Emiko, you need to get working soon. I heard a birthday party is coming at 10. Oh my head…" Mikio moaned as he stumbled back into the kitchen.
"Crap I hate birthday parties, little brats love pulling my hair," Emiko grumbled and stormed into the kitchen.
