Me: Okay, shout out for the people who reviewed chapter 2:

PrincessFallada : Thank you, I'm glad you like this :D

DancingPinkCows : My opinion exactly. I liked the idea of a device better than a simple 'power'. I mean, the aliens just could have teleported out of any danger, right? And thanks for reviewing again :)

Monkey-Lover-25 : The fluffiness is just getting started ;)

starfirewinx : Thanks for reviewing again, I appreciate your support and encouragement!

Kisshu: Hey, Wolfbane-Chan!

Me: Ahh, Kisshu! You're here. I felt bad about not having you in this story so far, so you're going to recite the disclaimer, okay?

Kisshu: Uhh... Okay, DISCLAIMER: Wolfbane-Chan in NO WAY owns Tokyo Mew Mew or any affiliates! And I highly doubt she ever will own it!

Me: Exactly! So, ON WITH THE STORY!

Taruto and Pudding made it easily through the dark, which was often illuminated by the raging lightning that split through the sky. As they neared the kitchen doors, the light began to flicker on and off.
"Ah! The power is back, na no da!" Pudding cheered, bursting through the doors of the kitchen and reached for the phone. She quickly dialed a number, but the power cut out again.
"I guess the phone was too much, and fried the rest of the power." Taruto said with a shrug.

"Oh well, Ryou-sama keeps flashlights in the counters cabinets! Pudding will get them!". As the door swung closed, the room was pitch-black, and all that could be heard was a shuffling, rummaging sound, so Taruto just stood by the the door.
"Aha! Pudding found some, Taru-Taru!" She squealed, turning one on and shining it around. The Tamarin girl took the two others and turned them on, hanging them around to light up the whole room. "Thats much better! Now time to eat. Oh, watch this, Taru-Taru, Pudding can juggle cupcakes!".

Pudding reached into a little basket and pulled out four perfectly iced cupcakes and began to juggle them, harder, faster and higher with each toss. Taruto felt his stomach growl with longing for the delicious pastries, and he just stared in a slight trance. She yelled something at him, but he didn't realize what she said. It was only until the cupcakes splatted onto him he realized she had said "Catch!". The blonde began to laugh at her icing and pastry covered pal, seeing how dumbfounded he looked as he just put together what had happened.
"P-Pudding!" He scowled at her, narrowing his eyes. "Watch it!" He grabbed part of a cupcake off his shoulder and hurled it at the Mew, but she dodged swiftly.
"Try again, Taru-Taru!" She giggled as she raced to the fridge quickly and pulled out a small tiramisu cake and tossed it at him. "Aha! Bulls-eye, na no da!"

"Augh!" He yelled with a laugh in his tone, racing at her with a handful of crushed tiramisu and trying to hit her with it, but she was to fast and gracefully dodged his food-attack.
"Taru-Taru is too slow for Pudding, na no da!" She cried, jumping past him and grabbing a tub of icing from the fridge. "Taru-Taru is going to get it now, na no da!". Pudding raced around the kitchen and grabbed a large wooden spoon, dipping it into the tub of scrumptious, sweet pastry icing and giving Taruto a threatening smile before flinging a large amount of the white frosting at him. It hit him square in the chest with perfect aim.
"Hey!" He couldn't help but laugh. "Thats no fair!"

"Okay, na no da!" Pudding said cheerfully, eating a spoon full of frosting. "Pudding will stop because poor Taru-Taru can't hit her!". She skipped over to him with a laugh at how he was covered in icing and pastry bits.
"Oh, I can't get you, huh?" The brunette said with his usual smirk. He took a few steps toward her, giving a deep snicker. "How about a hug? C'mon, Pudding! Give me a hug!", opening his arms and heading toward her in his food-covered mess.
"Ah! No, you'll get Pudding dirty, Taru-Taru! Ahhh!" She screamed with a laughter, avoiding him to keep herself clean. She couldn't help but wish he wasn't so filthy so she could hug him to death. "Get away, you're filthy, Taru-Taru! Ryou-sama has a small bedroom here, and it has a bathroom. Go take a shower and clean up, na no da!"
Taruto gave a shrug, "Fine, but you have to make food, and not throw it at me! Hey... If theres a bedroom here, why isn't that blondie here tonight?"

"Well, he stays here when hes researching. Hes rich, you know! I mean, if you were rich, would you live in a small room in a cafe, na no da?"

"Nope." He replied simply, grabbing a flashlight and heading out to the stairs.
'now time to cook. Pancakes will be good, na no da!' Pudding thought as she tied a large apron around her waist, grabbed out a large pan, flour, milk and eggs. She made pancakes for her siblings all the time at home, so she didn't need a recipe. "Wait!" She said out-loud to herself, stopping her mixing. "My siblings... Ohh, they're all asleep, na no da! Pudding will be back before they wake up, no da!". She gave a reassuring nod to herself before continuing to cook. Pancakes were a very easy and quick thing to cook, so she was finished cooking in fifteen minutes. The Mew Mew girl put the pancakes onto two plates, brought out the syrup and butter and stood back to admire her work, putting her hands in her apron pocket and found something that made her happy; A bag of candy drops!
'I better go get Taru-Taru!' She thought, pointing her flashlight to the door and heading to the stairs. 'He loves candy drops, he'll be happy Pudding found some!'.
Halfway up the stairs, the lights flicked on. Though, they were dim and fluttery, it sure made the cafe less creepy. She looked around, turning her flashlight off, and saw that a door was open. 'Ryou-sama's room, Taru-Taru must be in there. I don't hear the shower, so he must be out now.' she thought, peering into the room. The sight in there surprised her; Taruto had his hair down! It was straight down, still damp, and it was a little off, creating 'side bangs' to frame his face. He was just tying the bow to keep his shirt together, and Pudding wanted to turn away to give him his privacy, but she just... couldn't. She kept looking in, her brown eyes just could not bring themselves to look away. Taruto was absolutely adorable and charming when he had his hair up, but with it down it was... Pudding couldn't even think of the word to describe him! She stared still, a blush encasing her cheeks a bright red color, and something she didn't realize was happening...

Taruto looked over and saw Pudding in the doorway. He raised an eyebrow, looking her over. "Uh, Pudding? Why are your ears and tail out, your not in your Tokyo Zoo Crew outfit." He said with a curious stare.
"Ah! Wh-what?" The girl whipped her head around to see her monkey tail, the fur bristled on it as she wailed a silent scream of suprise. "Uhh, n-no reason, Taru-Taru! Uhh... Pancakes, they're ready... Oh, candy drops! T-take them!" She said, her face deepening in a crimson red as she tossed the bag of candy to him and raced out of the room. Tauto had a gleam of amusement in his gold eyes as she went away. Never in the entire time he had known Pudding had she ever looked so flustered! It was very funny to the alien, who had never been able to make her that quick to retreat in battle or with his harsh words. 'I wonder what happened to get her so nervous?' He thought, popping a candy drop in his mouth before he finished tying the bow on his shirt.

'My ears? My tail?' She thought as she walked hurriedly down the stairs. 'What happened! It... It was like when Ichigo-Oneechan's ears pop out, when she gets too excited, or is around Masaya,but- Okay, calm down Pudding! Okay... Whats similar between situations... Ichigo is in love with Masaya- wait... Am I in love with Taru-Taru?'. She blushed even deeper, her cheeks turning the color of a red pepper as she thought about her and Taruto together, but before she could ponder it any further, something startled her so bad she gave a shriek.

"Yo, monkey girl," Taruto said casually, poking her in the back and smirking when she jumped. "Your standing in the middle of the stairs, smart one*. Why are you so on edge?".

She turned abruptly to face him, her tail straight up in the air. "Ah! Taru-Taru!" She was pretty glad his hair was back up in his pigtails, for it was more 'familiar' to her. When he had his hair down, it made her feel different... She wasn't sure about it; It made her feel odd in the pit of her stomach, but happy at the same time. Uneasy, but comfortable. "Pudding is sorry, n-na no da... Pudding is a little scared from the... dark."

"Pudding, the lights are-" The lights flickered off again, as though they were proving Pudding was being honest. "-on... Well, whatever. Can I get down the stairs now?"

"Oh, right, na no da!" She started walking again. "How are the candy drops?"

"Right back to your cheerfulness, eh, monkey girl?" He stated is a sharp tone with his normal smirk, a fang visible from under his lip. 'Heh, thats the Pudding I know!' he thought.

"Uhh...Huh.." Was all Pudding could muster. 'Ack! He noticed! What if he realizes...' She didn't alow the thought to do further. "I'm starved, how about you, na no da?" She said, a casual subject change.

They ate in silence. Utter silence, barely a breath could be heard. It was very odd to Taruto, considering his 'friend' was always hyper and rarely shut up. Neither of them knew what to day, so they didn't say anything. After the meal was finished, he decided to strike up a conversation with "Thanks Pudding, it was really good!" in an unusually happy manner.

"Thank you, na no da! Pudding is glad Taru-Taru enjoyed the pancakes, na no da!" She smiled brightly, the flashlights around everywhere to illuminate the otherwise dark kitchen.
'Good, shes talking! What a relief... Oh god, what am I thinking? Ugh...' He thought, getting up hastily, trying to push his calm relief away, but couldn't help his feeling of relaxation; Full, content and happy Pudding was back to normal! "Well, what now?"

* I have to dedicate that to my bff Hannah! Calling someone 'Smart one' after they've been stupid is, like, her trademark insult, so thanks Hannah!

Me: Ugh, so tired! Its pretty late right now. Sorry, this chapter is kinda short... Anyways, what do you think? Most of the fan-fiction I've read with PxT is Taruto having those 'love' feelings, and getting a bit freaked about them, but I've decided to turn the tables and have Pudding be in more of the focus of the 'awkward love' feelings (:

Kisshu: Yeah, well, rate and review! Pretty please!

Me: Oh, yes please, I'll be a very happy Wolfy-Chan if you do! Also, BIG HUGE Shout Out to my bff, nicknamed Amgine! Amgine, you gave me loads of encouragement, and you came up with the little 'food fight' idea, so without you, this chapter wouldn't have been written! THANKS, AMGINE!

Kisshu: Yeah, thanks Amgine!

Me: Kish, why are you repeating me?

Kisshu: I don't know what else to say O.O

Me: Say 'bye bye' to the readers! …. SAY 'BYE BYE'!

Kisshu: Ahh! Bye bye! Stick around, the next chapter should be good...

Me: Ah! Right... I have no plans for the next chapter right now, and I plan on wrapping things up in the next 2-3 chapters, so I'm taking 'requests'. Yes, 'requests' for things to happen in the story! Tell me in your reviews, and I'll try and work it into the story! Okay, well, hopefully the next chapter will be up within the next two days :D

Kisshu: Yep! And hopefully, Wolfbane-Chan can work me into the story? A little? At the end? Please?

Me: FINE, Kish! I'll try my best... * grumble * Attention-seeking little... * grumble *. Oh also, all my chapters are one-shots! I just realized I've never mentioned that, though now I can't remember my point in mentioning it... Anyways, this Author's Note is getting too long, so hope you enjoyed everything (:
