"Elliot! Why didn't you tell us?" Zoey demanded.
"Cause it's funny. And it's kind of common sense. Why would I hire a non-Mew to work at the café?"
Zoey turned red and she started to shout randomly.
"Hey, let's go see Wesley. Bridgette and Corrina pulled Zoey towards the kitchen.
"Sorry Erica! Autograph session! Sorry! Siblings- what are going to do?" Renee and Kiki both left.
"Uh…Zoey…your ears…and don't you have a date with Mark?" a voice came from the kitchen.
"Oh no!" Zoey rushed out, her hands on her head- pushing down her ears. Wesley, Bridgette, and Corrina came out of the kitchen. After introductions with Wesley, Bridgette left- heading for the library.
Wesley said goodnight and headed upstairs. Elliot was nowhere to be found.
"Let's go Erica." Corrina told the new girl as she turned out the lights of the café.
Erica just stood there in the dark; surrounded by chairs up on tables.
"Erica? Erica!"
Erica jumped and nodded and they walked home.
"Well- this is my stop. Have fun with the rest of your walk." Corrina started to say goodbye.
"Bye." Erica skipped along, and headed into the mansion next to Corrina's.
"Neighbor?" Corrina gasped.
Erica giggled from the doorway. "Er…see you!" And the door closed.
A few days later, Corrina, Zoey, Renee and Erica were walking when Drathix appeared.
He knocked out Corrina just as she was in transformation. Then he pushed Renee and Zoey to the ground and their heads hit the concrete and cement, knocking them out of the ring too.
Then the Blue Knight appeared and stood in front of Zoey; protecting her- but doing nothing to help the remaining standing girl- Erica.
"Now for the prize!" Drathix licked his lips as he turned to Erica. "Hey Foxy Lady…" he started.
"Don't even try it." Erica snickered. She lashed out, "Golden Key!"
"Black Darkness! Maybe you should rest- you look very tired." And he attacked.
A second after Erica fell to the ground, the golden key beside her faded into nothing. Elliot appeared. Drathix was gone, and so was Zoey and the Blue Knight.
"Erica!" he ran to her and checked her pulse. Elliot visibly relaxed. He picked her up and brought her home. "Be more careful." He whispered.
"Drathix! Downtown!" Wesley burst into the empty café, excluding the Mews.
"Power Pendant! Mewtamorphosis!" Elliot and Wesley got in Wesley's car and followed the girls.
Drathix saw Elliot get out the car just as the girls threatened him. "Perfect timing." he hissed.
"Erica! Zoey! Girls." The boys called.
"Elliot!" Erica screamed and tried to warn him as she saw Drathix fire at hi,. She jumped in front- stealthy as a fox. The blast hit her instead.
"Erica!" He fell to his knees.
She opened her eyes. "Elliot. I'm fine. I don't know how. But I am."
Renee, Zoey…everyone hugged.
"Here's an artifact. To make you stronger." Wesley handed Erica the wand Zoey had used a while back.
"Golden Heart Scepter!"
It blasted everyone away from Erica. "Sorry!" Erica shouted.
But it blasted Drathix away as well. "Until next time Mew Mew's." And he was gone.
"Good job girls. Cake anyone?" Wesley smiled.
"Cake! Cake!" Mini Mew chirped. Everyone laughed.
Erica smiled, looking around at everyone. Her friends.
"Cake sounds amazing right now."
Back at the café, Wesley gave out the cake.
"This is so good Wesley. What flavor is it?" Erica asked.
"It's actually a mix of raspberry and apple."
"Mmm." Was the reply.
Then everyone stopped when Elliot came in the room. "They bay. Predicites."
