Okchi's POV.

"You shoulden't have stayed up studying so late last night!" Noboru exclaimed worridly as i yawned for the like,THE MILLIONTH time.

"Yeah,i knew most of the answers anyway,it was kinda dumb...but i just wanted to make sure you got home safe." i repiled.

Noboru ruffled my hair and chuckled. "I know baby sis,just don't knock yourself out too much,alright?" he asked.

I nodded."Ok."

Luckly,when i got home last night,as if by some kind of luck,Noboru wasnt home from his double date ,so i manged to get changed into my PJs,and get studying. Noboru didnt come home till half eleven which was pretty late for a school night. And NO,he wasn't drunk. We walked on in a conformable silence,until we passed the bus station. Normally,Noboru takes the bus to the high school while i walk ,but today he just walked on by.

"Hey,aren't you going on the bus anymore?" i frowned at him.

Noboru scoffed. "And get attacked by a bunch of love-struck crazy fangirls?No thanks."

I giggled. "I get why though,you inherited Dad's good looks."

Noboru shugged."So?Just cause im good looking doesn't mean that girls have to fight over me like im their...play toy or whatever. I'm not single,so they're jsut wasting their time. The only girls i'll ever have time in my life for is you,Mom and..."

"NOBORU-KUN!" An annoying girly high-pitched voice called out from across the street. Noboru saw who it was and a creep of a blush crept over his face as he waved back at the slender figure making its way across the street over to him.

I inwardly rolled my eyes. great. It was Noboru's girlfriend,Naoko. I watched as Naoko kissed Noboru full on the lips. Ewwww. Then the baka walked off with Naoko. What the hell? i thought. What happened to the protective big brother act? i sighed. Young love,i guess. I felt a pang in my heart as i thought of Naoki. I sighed,holding back tears. Then i continued the walk to school.

"All right class,as you know,it's that time of year again when we do Secret Valentine!" Miss Hanazwa said to the class that morning in homeroom.

We all groaned.

Secret Valentine is so boring,it's just like Secret Santa only on Valentine's day. I thought.When me and Naoki were little,we made choclates on Valentine's day with our would stuff our faces with them afterwards. And there was one year when we were six we he asekd me"Okchi,will you be my Valentine and i said-

"Miss Okchi?" Miss Hanawa was right beside me. "Miss Okchi?" "I DIDN'T DO IT!" i yelled,snapping out of my i realised i had said the wrong thing when the class started laughing at me."Miss Okchi ,it'd advise you start paying attention in class." Miss Hanzawa said primly. "Pick a name from the hat." I sighed and put my hand into the black velvet bowler hat. Once i had picked a name from the hat,Miss Hanzawa moved on. I unfolded the picce of paper and when i saw the name on it i groaned and put my head on the desk,anime sweatdropping.

The person i had gotten for my secret valentine was Naoki.

Lollie's POV.

"So you just need to make a secret valentine's card for this Naoki guy?" i asked Okchi. We were washing plates in the kitchen together. "Yeah…but the only problem is he's my childhood friend….and…my…secret crush." Okchi said ,blushing from embrassment.

"Then what are you waiting for ?Go for it ,girl!" i said,fist pumping the air and trying to encourage her.

"But…we aren't speaking." Okchi said.

"Oh?" i blinked in confusion.

"We aren't speaking because…we were on our date when i first transformed and you guys brought me to the café and i never got to say that i was leaving or anything…." She sighed."And eve did,it would have ended up the same." I blinked at her in confusion. Then i remembered.

"B-but Naoki-kun! Our date!" Okchi spluttered.

"Tough,we have to get you to the café and fast!" Sarusu replied quite rudely.

So that's why she was so reluctant to come to the café with us. I thought. "I'm…..i'm sorry." I quietly said."I rremember now..we didn't relise you were on a date. I'm so sorry."

Okchi sighed. "It's fine. You coulden't have been excepted to know."

"No like i said,it's fine." Okchi walked out of the kitchen. "It's fine." i sighed. Me and my stupid big mouth.

Suddenly Ryou came in. "Girls,the fourth mew has been found."

? POV.

I took a deep breath. Go for it. I told myself. Just do it. . It all came down to this. I did a perfect somersault over the vaulting house and landed perfectly. I let out a huge breath i hadn't even been aware that i was holding. "Good job Miss Toyihama."Miss Hojo ,my gymnastics coach, said, nodding and clapping in approval. "You are working very hard,at this rate,I think you're ready for the regional competition ." "Thank you Miss Hojo." I said, nodding politely.

. Then the session was over, my friends came up to me. "Good job!" Kuroe said , smiling at me.

" Yeah ,yeah ,yeah, you were great!" Rina said, jumping up and down in excitement.

"I know ,right?" I said, j umping in excitement with her. I could still feel the adrenaline pump through me.

"You'll do great in the competition !" Kuroe smiled at me.

."Yeah,yeah,yeah!" Rina smiled up at me

I smiled down at her,Rina was Kuroe's little sister and was only five,and she didn't really say much to me other than "Yeah,yeah,yeah!"

I giggled. "I know Rina,i did good!And Miss Hojo said…Miss Hojo said… YAYYY I CAN'T BELIVE THIS THIS IS SOO SOO EXCTITING!" I started to run all around the place,like a hyper monkey. Kuroe and Rina started to do it too because they were happy for me.

"GOD you guys,stop acting,like SO immature!" a voice said. I rolled my Rukia ,my rival was standing right in front of me. She had long honey waist-length blonde hair and blue eyes. Her skin tone was tanned,like she had just gone on holiday to Spain. Kuroe and Rina quickly mumbled some excuse that their parents had arrived,grabbed their gym kits,and ran off.

I glared at Rukia. "Oh shut up Rukia,we all know your accent is fake,Youre' no more American then we are Japanese. And you love bragging about yourself all the time. You just love to bring people down to your size." I took a deep breath. No one had ever said this to her face..until now.."Your'e just a big bully."

Rukia's mouth dropped open. Then she hissed at me"Well,you're no better. You lived in a crack home,an orphanage,you never knew your real parents,i bet they're dead,or in rehab,and your aunt is just a foster aunt,you little bitch." I reeled back in horror,tears coming to my eyes.

"Excuse me young lady?" a deathly calm voice suddenly echoed though the hall. I turned around. My Aunt Kimko was standing in the doorway,glaring at Rukia so fiercely, i thought i could see embers of a fire in her eyes.

Or perhaps i was imaging things. "I..i…i.." Rukia's mind had gone completely blank. You could see it in her face.

"Exactly what i thought. Brianna ,go and get your gym kit,please." I obediently got my gym kit without a word. Then i went to stand before Aunt Kimko. "This will be mentioned to your parents young lady." She said,glaring at her one last time,before we walked out of the hall together.

On the drive home ,everything was deathly silent until i said "Arigato,Aunt Kimko."

"No need to thank me,dear. That vile girl called you an unacceptable name. " Aunt Kimko replied, keeping her eyes fixed ahead on the road.

"Aunt Kimko…."

"Yes,dear?

"Where are my parents? Why don't they come and visit me?"

Aunt Kimko sighed. "We have been through this a million times dear. Your parents are very busy working for a very big international company abroad. They find it hard to make time to visit us."

"But what if they don't even try?They never come home for ANY of my birthdays. They just send a card every year with a few yen." I replied.

Aunt Kimko sighed. "Brianna,please,drop the subject. Your parents are too busy working. Let's just leave it at that."

I said"Yes Aunt Kimko." obediently and left it at that. But my mind was still racing with questions. Why do they never come?What do they look like? How come i never see them?

But there was one question above all that kept on my mind.

Are they even alive?

Lollie's POV.

I quickly ran ,my heart pounding. "COME ON YOU SLOWCOACH!" Sarasu yelled back at me. "I'm coming!" i said,panting. My cheeks were red, i was sweating like a pig,and my hair was matted and messy .Attractive, very attractive. NOT.

At present, me,Sarasu ,and Okchi were running to the Osaka Athletics Center, where the fourth mew was located. Okchi,being the most athletic person out of the trio, having a brother (and a cute one ,at that) on the Tarento high school track team was running ahead of us, Sarasu not too far behind. I however , wasn't as good a runner as Sarasu and Okchi,and was way way wayyy behind them. I had hoped that now that i was infused with a Caracal, i would be able to run faster. But nope,i was still as crap at running as ever. It's not fair! I thought. How come Sarasu sits around all day sipping tea in the café and yet she can run faster than me?

"Lollie..Lollie..LOLLIE!" Sarasu snapped,clicking her fingers in front of my face.

"What?" i snapped, brought back to reality.

"We're here." Sarasu said.

"Oh."

I sat down on the nearest wall ,gasping for breath. When i had regained my energy, i looked up at the sports hall. It was a tall red brick building with a blue sign saying Osaka Athletics Center. Behind the sports hall, separated with a mesh fence, there was a tennis court, track and field, a basketball court ,a swimming pool…. There was so many different sports courts to choose from! "Whoa!" i exclaimed in amazement. "I know right? My brother sometimes comes here for track practice,when another club is using the track." Okchi said,looking up at me, shielding her eyes from the sun,with one hand.

"Would that be them?" Sarasu said,checking out a couple of cute-looking boys on the track and field,all running in a big huddle.

Okchi observed them for a few seconds and said "Nah. That's another school."

"Oh." Sarasu looked thoroughly disappointed.

I smirked at her. "Were you planning to introduce yourself to Okchi's cute brother,Sarasu?"

Sarasu blushed lightly and thumped my arm. "Oh,shut up Lollie!" she said. Okchi giggled. Then her face grew serious. "You guys,we need to find the fourth mew ,remember?"

I started to get serious again. "Yeah,your'e right. We need to focus." I looked around the perimeter. "Uh….where is she?" Suddenly i felt something vibrate in my pocket. I took it out. It was my mew pendant. Ryou had installed some kind of walkie talkie thingy in it,so we could keep in contact when we were finding the mews. I pressed the heart in the middle and it flipped open to show a little speaker thingy. I put in to my ear. "Hello?"

"Lollie,she's not here." Ryou said.

"What do you mean?Don't tell me you sent us in the wrong direction Shirogane because i swear if you did i'll come over there personally and-"

"NO,you bozo. You are at the right location. You just weren't there in time."

"What?"

"You missed her. She was driven out of the area a few minutes ago."

"Damn!" i cursed into the mew pendant/walkie talkie.

"Damn is right." Ryou said. He sounded very angry. "Perhaps if you had run more QUICKLY,you would have gotten her." He said,trying to sound calm,but he was failing. He hung up on his end,leaving only a crackle of static. I cursed fiercely, shut the pendant and put it into my jean pocket.

"Im guessing we missed her?" Sarasu asked.

"Yup." I said,nodding. "Don't worry…i have a feeling she will be around this area again tomorrow."

"Maybe she will,maybe she won't,come on guys,let's head back to the café." Okchi said,jumping off the wall and starting to walk off. Me and Sarasu followed her.

We walked together in a comfortable silence until i asked Sarasu "Are you SURE you weren't trying to find Okchi's older brother so you can flirt with him?"

"Oh SHUT UP!"

Xy's POV.

Valentine's Day. What is this Valentine's day? I thought to myself,pacing up and down the room. I have never heard of this Valentine's day. What is it? My mind wandered back to mission-related thoughts. Brianna Toyhihama….the fourth mew…there is something about her….her aura…she doesn't seem to be like the other mews…there is something about her…but what? I frowned and thought to myself. Whatever it is,i will get to the bottom of it.

Leo's POV.

"All those humans seem to get all lovey-dovey over this Valentine's Day thing. It seems to be a big deal on Earth." I said. I was slouching on the couch,looking at Nashi practicing his knife throwing skills.

"It's because it's a day of compassion for them. Where they show their love to their loved one…or the one they secretly love." Nashi said,about to throw another knife.

"What's up with you and that Sarasu chick?" i asked him abruptly .

Nashi threw the knife at the target. He threw it so hard that the target spilt clean in half.

I whistled slowly. "Whoa,that shot was brutal that time. Was it just a lucky throw? Or was it because of-"

"It's none of your business. " he suddenly snapped,cutting across me.

I put my hands up in defence. "Dude,take a chill pill,i'm just saying-"

"What's up with you and that Lollie girl then?" Nashi suddenly snapped at me.

"Nothing. Just a harmless game. I'm using her." I said,shrugging.

"For what?" Nashi said. "For your own pleasure ?"

At that comment,i felt anger flare up inside me. Leo,your'e only using her,why are you getting so het up dude? You don't have feelings for her. A voice said inside of my head. But what if you do?

"I'm not….I'M NOT USING FOR MY OWN PLEASURE!" I yelled,my face getting red.

"You do. You so do dude." Nashi said,chuckling.

"SHUT THE FU-"

"Leo,watch your mouth." We both turned around to see Xy glowering at us in the doorway. "I do not like swear words being used in this approximated area , alien OR human." He snapped. "Understood?"

We sighed. "Yes Commander."

"Good."

We both turned to leave.

"Wait….before you leave.."

We both turned and frowned at him.

"What's Valentine's day?"

Later on…

Rule number one of trying to avoid TOTAL weirdness and awkwardness on missions. I thought later,creeping down the halls to Xy's office. Never ever EVER explain to your commander what Valentine's Day is. Cause it's just awkward.

I put my hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door. I saw that the office was empty and the CCTV wasn't switched off. Excellent. I thought with a smirk. I scanned the cameras until i saw her…..

Lollie's POV.

I Ran down the school corridor in excitement. Secret Valentine week! I thought.Yay yay yay!I wonder who my Valentine is this year?When i got to my locker,i opened it quickly hoping to see a red heart-shaped card in my . I slumped my shoulders in disappointment. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow? I thought.

But on Tuesday there still weren't any Valentine's cards.

Wednesday . Still nothing.

By Thursday,i was leaning against my locker,biting my lip.My valentine forgot hates me. I thought miserably.

However,even in my misery,i could see a certain alien's face floating in front of my eyes.

Leo's POV.

She looked miserable. Everyone else was walking around with some symbol on Valentine's Day with them. She hadn't gotten anything. At that moment,i decided what i would do. If Lollie wants her Secret Valentine,she's gonna get her Secret Valentine I thought before teleporting away.

Sarasu's POV.

I was sitting in the kitchen sipping a cup of tea and thinking. That alien…what's his name again? Nashi ,huh?Seems like a cool guy to me. But then again…Noboru….

I hadn't told Lollie or Okchi this,but i had (and kinda still have) this crush on Noboru ,he seems like the perfect boy….he's athletic ,tall ,handsome,kind,understanding…. In fact i can still remember our encounter a year ago…

I was running to school in a hurry. Oh sugar! I'm gonna be late! were the only thoughts running through my mind.I had overslept while studying for a History test the previous night. I was so absorbed in trying to get to school on time,that when i ran out onto the road,i didn't see the car….I remember running in slow motion, hearing the car coming towards me. Closing my eyes,thinking I'll never make it….

When then all of a sudden,i felt someone cover me and dive me out of the way of the car. I opened my eyes,my breathing shallow. I'm alive. I thought. I'm alive. Who saved me? One of my friends?No, couldn't have been. Kado?No that selfish baka would never dream of it…..then…who?

"Are you ok?" a voice asked. "Yeah…yeah..i think im ok." I looked up to see who was speaking. It was a boy. A tall mahogany-skinned boy with brown hair and the cutest brown eyes was looking at me in concern. I felt my tummy do a backflip and my heart beat really loud. I just about manged to not to blush when i nodded and said "I'm ok. No bruises or anything. " I had said the right thing because i was then rewarded when the boy smiled at me and my heart skipped a thousand beats. "That's good." He said. "I thought you were seriously injured there for a second. He got up to his feet and offered me his hand. I took his hand and this time,a light pink blush swept over my cheeks as he helped me up. I looked down at my shoes for i knew if i looked at his face my heart would surely beat even hardler and my blush would deepen. "Arigato." I said nodding politely. "No problem." He said before walking off. I looked up as he walked off. Who is that guy? I thought.

Suddenly i heard some girls squealing behind me. "Huh?" i turned around. Normally,i would have scowled at them and said"He's just a boy. Big over it." But i was too dazed after that encounter to do anything. "Your'e so sooo lucky!" one of the girls squealed. "Lucky?" i asked ,still in a daze. "Yeah,you got saved by Tarento's High's track team captain! And like,the most cutest boy ever!" another girl squealed,a brunette girl this time. "Oh?" i blinked.

"Noboru!" One of the fan girls squealed.

I looked after the direction in which the boy had gone.

"Noboru?"

I smiled.

"Noboru.."

"Hey pretty deer lady."

I was jolted out of my flashback when i saw a familiar alien hovering in the kitchen. My eyes narrowed. "Nashi." I growled standing up.

"What? Is my little deer lady not happy to see me?" Nashi playfully pouted.

"YES, your little deer lady isn't happy to see you. IN FACT" i spat at him,picking up a saucepan"Your pretty little deer lady is gonna kick your ass!"

Nashi put his hands up in defence. "Touché!" he chuckled,grinning. "I only came to give you something."

I lowered the saucepan slightly. "Oh yeah? And what would THAT be?" i glared at him.

"A Valentine's Day gift."

I lowered the saucepan completely. "How do you know about Valentine's Day?" i asked him. "Do you celebrate it on Cynaclonia?"

"Nope. We found out through research." Nashi said. "Anyway…" he grinned a cheeky but kind of attractive grin. "I came to give you my Valentine's day gift." He said.

I tried not to let the surprise show on my face,. A Valentine's Day gift? For me? This was a first. I didn't expect it to be from the enemy either. "Ok then." I said trying not to let the surprise show on my face. "What is it?"

"This." Nashi handed me a rose. A deep vibrant red rose,with dew drops and green leaves,non-spiky stem and all.

I slowly took the rose. "Nashi ….it's…beautiful…i…don't know what to say….." i said in surprise. For the first time in my life,i was speechless.

"It's an Everlasting Rose." Nashi said.

"An…..everlasting rose?" i looked at him,wide-eyed.

"They grow on Cynaclonia. Everlasting Roses are just like normal human roses with a difference…they last forever."Nashi said quietly. Was it just my imagination or was he…blushing?

""Well,thank you." I said,putting it in my apron. "This gift…is greatly appreciated."

Suddenly ,before i knew Nashi was right on front of me,his hand was cupping my chin,he stared right into my eyes. Weirdly,i wasn't compelled to hit him with a baseball bat..

"Happy Valentine's day Sarasu." Nashi said,softly. Then he was gone.

I stood there in shock. He called me Sarasu. My real name. I sat down,trying to process it all. Why is my heart thumping so loudly then,if he's the enemy?

"SARASU!" Lollie burst into the kitchen.

"Huh?" i asked,looking up.

"Come on we have to go! There's a Chimara Animal downtown! Where our fourth mew is!" Okchi said,dragging me up.

"Uh ok….um….wait a second guys…"

"What?" they both asked.

Snapping out of my reverie,i raised an eyebrow and said coolly "Wouldent it be wise to change OUT of our café uniforms first?"

Brianna's POV.

"Miss Toyihama, your'e up next." Miss Hojo said. "Try your best." I took a deep breath and nodded. This was it. If i manged to do well,i would be selected by Miss Hojo to take part in the regiona competition .I had to give my all. The bars weren't my best skill of performance,so i knew i coulden't try my best. I had to do BETTER. I jumped up onto one of the bars and swung around,once,twice,three times before jumping over to the other bar,when suddenly i heard a huge didn't seem human and i swore it was a monster.

Scared,i missed the bar and landed flat on my face. I could hear Rukia and her cronies giggling. "Come on Brianna,you can do it!" i heard Kuroe whispering.

"Yeah,yeah,yeah!" whispered Rina.

"Don't worry Miss Toyhihama,y ou have two tries left." Miss Hojo said,smilng at me to try and encourage me.

I got up onto the bars and caught the other bar this time, however as i was about to do a 360 degree jump,i heard the monster again. I fell flat on my face. "One more try,Miss Toyhihama,just try one more time."Miss Hojo said. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I KNEW i could do this. Believe Brianna. I told myself. Just believe in YOU.

This time i got through half of the planned routine without fail. However, the roar came again. Don't LISTEN! KEEP GOING! A voice in my head said.

I continued like nothing had happened. Then it came again.No,don't listen! I kept going until the monster let out such a huge ear-splitting roar i fell flat on my face.

I could hear Rukia laughing at me. Miss Hojo helped meup. "Are you ok,Miss Toyhiama?" she asked. "yes…..yes im fine." I mumbled.

"Let's see Miss Minasuki,shall we?"

I snuck out of the room,my hands in fists. Ok mister monster .i thought in anger. Let's settle this once and for all,my way!

I heard the monster roar from outside. I ran angerly out into the open. Then froze. A girl in peach clothing has just been pushed into the wall. That would have been ignored…. IF THE GIRL DIDN'T HAVE FREAKING ANIMAL EARS! The girl in peach saw me looking and said "Shit!" quite fiercely. My eyes widened. "You said a bad word! And….you have an animal tail…" i said ,in a mix of anger and confusion.

I watched as two girls in green and pink attacked the monster. The girl in green looked at the girl inf peach. "What's wr…" then she saw me. "The….the fourth mew." She said.

"Ok….." i blinked. "What's a mew?"

"Find out for yourself bozo! " the girl in green said,tossing me a pendant.

It was gold with pink swirls and a pink heart in the center. "I….i….uh….MEW BROWNIE ,METAMORPHSIS! I couldn't remember what happened next ,but the next thing i knew,i felt kinda….changed…i looked down at myself. " .God." was all i could say.

My hair had turned red and i had it on two buns on my head. My eyes were still blue. My outfit was a red dress with elbow-length sleeves that went down to my thighs with a frilly red garter with red pumps. The pendant had shrunk and was kept on a bracelet on my left wrist. However the most shocking things was i had a red fox tail sticking out of my butt and i had two fox ears to match,with white tips.

"Holy crap i'm a Red Fox." I blurted out. "I'm…..I'M A STRANGE ANIMAL GIRL!" I screamed and started running around in circles,in absaloute panic. "Whatdoido?Whatdoido? Whatwillisay? Whatwillisay? What will Kuroe say? Will Rina scream? WhatifRukiasees? Oh god,this is bad,this is veryveryVERY bad." I gabbled out in a rush. I then stopped and gasped. "What….WHAT IF AUNT KIMKO SEES ME LIKES THIS?OH SHOOT I'M DEAD!"

"Hey kid watch ou-" I felt a reptilian tail slam hard into my stomach. I grunted in pain as i was knocked back against the wall hard. I felt my head get woozy and my vision had started to blur. "Ughghgh.." i groaned in pain. I tried to get back on onto my feet ,but my legs gave way and i ended out sprawled on the ground. "Kid,you ok?" I saw the girl in green standing over me, her arms folded across her chest,looking down at me in amusement. "I have a name,you know." I managed to choke out. "It's Br_"

"Yeah yeah yeah,just defeat that thing!" she spat out.

"What? You ask me if i'm ok and then you…..ugh,forget it!" i said,slowly getting to my feet. "Never mind!"

"Use your wepon!" the girl in peach cried out to me.

"RIBBON BROWNIE SURGE SWORD!" I called out my wepon. A red sword tinged with pink appeared in my hands. I glared at the monster,suddenly filled with adrenaline like i got when i had mastered a new move in gymnastics. "THIS IS FOR SCREWING UP MY CHANCE TO GET INTO THE REGIONAL FINAL,JERK!"

I Raised my sword high above my head.

The other girls summoned their wepons too.

"PEACH RIBBON CROSS!"

"RIBBON SALSA SWORD!

"RIBBON LOVELY SPIN!"

"RIBBON BROWNIE SURGE SLASH!"

I swung my sword in one huge clean swoop. With the combined forces of our attacks,the chimara animal roared one last time ,then he disappeared in a glow of bright binding light.

I smiled weakly. Then i felt my whole body give way to pain and exhaustion. The last thing i heard before my vision faded to black was We need to get her to the café!

When i woke up,my head still felt woozy. Then i realised my head was slumped on a table. "Huh?" i mumbled sleeply. I slowly lifted my head and looked around. And smiled. "This café is so so KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" I jumped up,my woozy head gone,and ran around,taking in the girlyness of it all.

"Hey,what the hell do you think your'e doing?" a person said quite rudely.

I turned around and glared at the person who had just walked in . He was a blonde guy around…21,i think. He was glaring at me like i was some bug.

"Now Ryou,don't be so snappy with our new mew." A guy said from behind him. He looked older than Ryou and had long brown hair in a ponytail.

"New mew? What the hell do you mean?" i asked him.

The blond guy known as Ryou sighed. "Kid,we got a lot of explaining to do,and trust me,you might not what's coming next.

That's when i knew my life would never be normal again.

Lollie's POV.

Poor kid. I leant against the worktop in the kitchen,watched the small pigtailed ten year old as Ryou and Kechiro explained what she was,what this place REALLY was,and what she would have to spend her time doing until further notice. "Poor kid." I said again out loud.

"I agree. Knowing that you have Tokyo's fate on your shoulder on only ten years of age is kinda a big deal." Sarasu remarked,putting her cup down on its saucer.

"And the worst thing is,she has to keep it all a secret." Okchi said,cleaning a soapy plate with a old cloth.

"I think she'll make it through all this though. I can tell she's one tough cookie." I said,as i looked thoughtfully at the girl.

Sarasu snorted. "Ya think?" was all she said as she walked out of the kitchen. Okchi followed her.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. How did becoming the leader of the new mews make me less…optimistic,somehow? No one had faith in me as a leader. Sarasu seemed to do a better job than me at it. Maybe i'll speak to Ryou and he'll hand leadership over to Sarasu. I thought.Because what's the point of being a leader if no one wants to listen?

"Hey fluffly caracal."

My jaw tightened and i turned around. Why why WHY did he always come when i was at my most weakest? "I told you to stay away from me,Leo." I hissed. "Haven't you done enough?"

"Following orders from you is pretty hard ,you know." He smirked, shrugging. "Especially when a little lady like you is issuing them."

"Gah!" I slienly stamped my foot in frustration. "Just leave me alone,already!"

"Not till you come with me." Leo's arrogant smirk was still plastered onto his face.

"How do i know you won't kidnap me? Or try and play some perverted trick?" I crossed my arms over my chest,glaring at him. Ok,bad idea,now he was trying to ogle my chest. I put my hands on my hips instead. Now he was looking at my hips. Damn! I let them fall loosely by my side.

"Haven't you ever heard of TRUST?"Leo said,raising an eyebrow.

I rolled my eyes. "Trust isn't exactly what comes to mind when i see you."

"Just trust me. Just this once. No perverted tricks or kidnappings." He held out his hand. The look on his eyes was so solumn and serious i sighed and gave in.

"Fine. But you had BETTER keep your promise." I said ,giving him my hand.

He jerked me up skyward. I tried my best not to scream. Because then people would think i was being kidnapped. To be honest,i wasn't even sure myself if this was a kidnapping.

Taking my hand,he flew me out of the café.

Ok….so aliens can fly like Peter Pan? I was very confused as we flew high up in the sky. Not so far from the café, we landed on the top of the highest tree there was. There was no humans around because it was getting late. Leo put his hands over my eyes. I struggled. "Let go! I TOLD YOU,NO KIDNAPPINGS!"I growled in frustration.

Leo just chuckled. "Man,you are a feisty one. Open your eyes." Leo took his hands away from my eyes.

For the first time in my life i was speechless. All around ,red heart-shaped lights were strung around the branches. I saw for the first time in the lake near the tree,the lights were forming a message:

Lollie,be my valentine.

"Oh my Mew Mew…" i gasped.

"Well?" Leo asked.

For the first time in my life,i was speechless. I just shook my head in wonder.

"I can see you're impressed,well that's not all!" A cheeky grin came upon Leo's face.

With a click of his fingers,the top of the tree had widened into a place where me and him could sit. Another click and a red blanket and a basket were on the ground spread out between click. All my favourite foods were laid out. Crisps,chocolate cake in the shape of a heart, cheese rolls,Coke….as well as paper cups and other stuff that you would need for a picnic.

"A Valentine's day picnic?" i finally manged to gasp out in surprise.

"Yup,all for you." He clicked his fingers one last time and the message in the lake dissapered and all the lights went out except for the ones near the top of the tree,which let a strong but not too strong red glow,providing good light.

"T..thank you Leo. I'm…im sorry for what i said about you being a freak…" i mumbled ,partly in gratitude and partly in shame.

Leo sighed. "It's…it's fine. It's not the first time …" his face was closed up,as if he didn't' want to say any more. Then he put his trademark cheeky grin on his face. "Let's eat,shall we?"

The rest of the picnic was a happy time,although i was very careful not to blurt out any secret Mew information.

At the end Leo turned to me with a serious expression on his face.

"Lollie?"

"Yeah?"

He smiled. "Can we be friends?"

I frowned. "Don't take this the wrong way but….we are kinda rivals,aren't we?"

He shrugged. "Well,rivals don't do surprise Valentine's picnics for other rivals ,do they?"

"No…"

"Then why not?"

"But…..what about the Mews?"

"What about them?Look,how about we keep it a secret all right? We'll act all scowly with each other in public and make it look convincing that we are ?"

I sighed. I wasn't sure if it was the best thing to do but…"Deal."

Leo smiled. "Then it's official. Ive never really had a friend before…" the tips of Leo's ears tinged pink.

"Why not?"

"Well….let's just say i wasn't really that sociable….anyway.." He smiled at me and raised his cup of Coke. "A toast. To a new friendship!"

"To a new friendship." I said,bumping my paper cup off his and grinning. He grinned back.

Okchi's POV.

I stood nervously,biting my lip. You go,girl!Lollie's voice echoed in my head.No i don't go girl. I thought sadly. I can't do this. I sighed. I took a deep breath and steeled myself. I walked over in the direction of Naoki's locker.

However,when i got there,he was already at his locker. And he wasn't alone. He was talking to a pretty brunette girl and they were smling and laughing together. I didn't need rocket science to know what was going on here.

I felt tears form in my eyes. I dropped the envelope and hurried back through the crowd,keeping my head down,trying to keep it together. However, i could already feel a tear running down my cheek.

Naoki's POV.

"Thanks for the science help,Rin! See ya!" i smiled and waved at my lab partner and walked away. Suddenly,i felt something underneath my foot. I looked down. It was a pink heart shaped envelope. To Naoki. It said in typed lettered in the front.

I opened the envelope and my eyes widened when i saw the message.

Naoki Asiya,

Happy Valentine's Day.

I love you.

From your secret Valentine.
