demonluver: I'm back everybody! Out of my writer's block (again!)
Ichigo: Whoop-de-fucking-do...
Kisshu: Alright! Your back with a Kisshu/Ichigo craze!
demonluver: Actually, this chappie is Lettuce/Pai, remember?
Kisshu: Aw man, you're focusing on those two?
demonluver: Hey, I've done more than enough for you two!
Ichigo: So your not writing Kisshu/Ichigo anymore?
demonluver: Don't you wish... I'm not gonna stop tormenting you guys for a LONG time...
Kisshu: YESSSSS
Ichigo: NOOOOO
demonluver: They're so cute... anyways, I hope Pai and Lettuce aren't too Off Character in this chapter. You've gotta give me credit though, this is my first one dedicated only to them after all!
Kisshu: True that, true that... be nice to demonluver, okay? She's having a difficult time of month if you know what I mean...
demonluver: *hits Kisshu with an iron skillet* STFU! Lets just get on with the story... I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew, Harlequin Blaze, Cream Puffs, OR Iron Skillets, okay?
Ichigo: O.O this is going to be a strange chapter...
demonluver: Aren't they always?
Kisshu: READ AND REVIEW!
Pudding and Tart slowly stalked the halls of the hot springs. "You know what to do, na no da?" Pudding asked in a hushed voice.
Tart nodded, slightly annoyed considering she had been asking him this question repeatedly for the past half hour.
Pudding nodded happily. "Hai! You go to Pai, I take Lettuce-chan!"
Tart sighed. "I know that, we've been over this."
Pudding giggled as she ran into Lettuce's room. "Make sure that you tell him when you know for certain she's done! I want this to go perfect, na no da!"
Lettuce sat atop her bed, reading a book that everyone who knew her would be shocked to see her with: a Harlequin Blaze. Her hands were shaking as she reached the part where Daniel had Elizabeth cornered in her room, and left nothing to get in the way of their desires. Lettuce gripped the book tightly as she read how they entwined passionately, Daniel's arms traveling underneath her clothes while Elizabeth let out moans of desires.
Lettuce's face flushed in anticipation, but before she got to the good part, she heard the door to her room burst open. "Lettuce Onee-chan!" Pudding shouted in greeting.
Frantically, Lettuce hid her Harlequin under her pillow. "Pudding-san!" She said loudly, "what are you doing here?"
Pudding cocked her head curiously. "Onee-chan... why is your face so red?"
Lettuce covered her hot cheeks with her hands. "Well, that is to say... I was in the hot springs earlier, and I think I stayed in too long, and I probably got really warm, and I still feel dizzy and that's bad so I thought I'd lay down..."
Pudding looked down at the ground, slightly sad. "Then you're not up to doing anything with me...?" She asked in a pitiful voice.
Lettuce's eyes widened. "N-Not at all Pudding! I'm just fine now, of course!"
Grinning, Pudding jumped up and sat on Lettuce's bed. "Can you make some of your wonderful cream puffs?" She asked, excited.
Lettuce blinked. "What?"
Pudding did a somersault off the bed. "Well, I remember tasting some of yours before, onee-chan, and I remember them being really good. I thought that they'd be a nice desert for dinner tonight!"
Smiling slightly, Lettuce patted Pudding's head. "I'd be glad to Pudding, but are you sure we have all of the ingredients?"
The blonde child grinned ear to ear. "I asked Megumi Onee-chan and she said she had everything needed."
Lettuce raised an eyebrow slightly at the mischievous glint in Pudding's eye, yet paid it no mind for the time being. "All right then..."
Pudding jumped up happily. "Hurray na no da!"
Giggling slightly, Lettuce headed out of the room. "I'll be sure to work hard, okay?"
Pudding nodded and waved happily as her friend as she left the room. Falling back on the bed, she chuckled evilly. Rolling over, she spotted something curious under a sheet. Lifting it up, she opened up to the page that Lettuce was reading.
"I don't get it... why is he reaching under her shirt? Is he checking her pulse or what?"
Walking down the halls of the hot springs, Pai let out a restless sigh. Speeding up slightly, he frantically tried to think up ways to get the Mews to leave so that he could enjoy his vacation in peace. Already his goal of sleeping in had been broken when he woke up at seven in the morning to the sound of Ichigo screaming at Kish.
While Pai was mentally cursing off the two idiotic teenagers, he almost ran into a smirking Tart. Raising an eyebrow, he asked in a monotone, "What do you want?"
Tart smirked up at him. "Just thought you might wanna know that the fishy mew is in the kitchens..."
Pai felt a pang of annoyance, yet could barely hold down the thought of Lettuce baking something in the adorable apron that Megumi made everyone wear. And he could also imagine what it would be like if he was there, and if the apron was the only thing Lettuce had on...
Pai shook his head, ashamed and trying to hold the dirty images back. "What of it?" He asked imperiously.
Tart let out a chuckle. "I heard that she was baking cream puffs..."
Pai tensed up even more than before. It was just like that little brat to pray on his one weakness. "It's not like I really care..."
Leaning up against the wall, Tart raised an eyebrow. "So you've kicked your addiction for them then?"
Letting out a growl, Pai turned on his heel. "I'm not going to break my diet for anything Taruto! Megumi would tease me to no end if she discovered this!"
Tart burst into laughter. "She already teases you for everything. I think this'll be fine. Plus, I heard from Pudding that the fishy makes the best cream puffs in the world."
Pai looked over his shoulder. "Don't start with me about the cream puffs, and I won't start with you about your little crush on Pudding."
Jumping back, Tart felt a blush covering his face. "What... what makes you think I'd ever like that god-awful, annoying little brat?"
Pai chucked slightly as he walked away. "Because you said her name just now, you actually sounded happy."
Tart scoffed as he watched him walk away. "That's stupid..." He said under his breath.
Lettuce hummed happily as she grabbed the tube of icing. Squeezing on it gently, she grinned as she made each one as neat as possible. Lettuce was about to wipe her hands off on the towel, but changed her mind halfway and decided to suck the delicious cream off of her fingers.
The door creaked open behind her. Lettuce turned her head around and mumbled in surprise, finger still in her mouth, "Pai-san!"
The purple-haired alien was standing nonchalantly by the door, taking in the smell of Lettuce's cooking. He tried his hardest to conceal a blush as he looked her over, donned in an apron and sucking the white cream off of her finger... Pai mentally smacked himself for thinking such things.
"I heard... from Taruto... that you were making these..." He said softly, surveying Lettuce's work. They actually did look quite good, better than any from a store or made from a mix.
Lettuce nodded happily. "They are my favorite things to make!" She lifted one up. "Would you like to try one? They're already cooled down."
Pai took one from her and bit gently into the end. He let out a moan of happiness as he tasted the sweet cream filling. Closing his eyes, Pai slowly let a grin engulf his face.
"Oh yes... these are the best..." Lettuce blushed as Pai said that. He turned to her again. "Erm... may I have another... please?"
Lettuce blinked. "Of course..." She muttered, placing another in his hand. Pai took a small bite out of it, and Lettuce couldn't help but giggle.
He turned and looked at her, still nibbling on the cream puff. "Is something funny...?" He asked her as he finished it off.
Lettuce shook her head. "It's just that..." She gave another tiny giggle. "I've never really seen you like this before, Pai-san. It's like you're a little kid!"
Pai blushed and looked away. "Well... you see, when I was younger, my mother made similar treats for Megumi and myself..."
Lettuce smiled up at him. "So you really like my cooking?"
Pai gave a slight smile. "Yes, it reminds me of my family..."
Lettuce grabbed the plate of cream puffs. "Well, I'd better take these to the refrigerator before you eat them all, huh?"
Pai held back a slight chuckle. "I'm not that bad..."
Lettuce giggled. "I know! I'm just teasing-" Her words were cut off when she suddenly slipped on a cream spill that she forgot to clean before. Pai's eyes widened as he grabbed Lettuce and tried to keep her from falling down, only to land on top of her.
The green-haired Mew stared up at him. "Um... thank you... Pai-san..."
Pai looked down at her and gulped. "Don't... don't mention it..." He muttered.
Before they could move, the door to the kitchen opened. "LETTUCE-CHAN!" Megumi shouted as she ran in. "How's the cooking doing...?" She trailed off as she saw the position Pai and Lettuce were in.
"Otooto-san..." She muttered. "You... you..." Megumi growled and grabbed an iron skillet. "HOW DARE YOU BE SO FORWARD WITH SUCH AN INNOCENT GIRL?"
Pai quickly scrambled off of Lettuce. "Megumi, it's not what you think!" He shouted, all in vain as his older sister took a couple swipes at him.
"Pervert! I can't believe you! My little brother, I thought you were a good boy!"
Lettuce watched as Pai ran in fear from his elder sister. "Um... it was seriously an accident..." She protested as she tried to stop Megumi from doing any lasting damage.
Pudding and Tart watched as Megumi chased Pai around the building. Pudding sighed and slumped back. "They almost had a moment!" She shouted in dismay.
Tart snickered as he watched Pai dodge the iron skillet. "At least we get to eat the leftover cream puffs."
Pudding gave a suspicious glare. "That's the reason you suggested this plan, isn't it?"
Tart handed one over to Pudding. "Are you complaining?" The hyperactive mew shook her head vigorously.
"Nope, gimme!" Pudding took one and wolfed it down.
Tart sighed. Back to square one with Lettuce and Pai, and it was only the first day. He thought that at least it would be easier to work with them considering that Lettuce didn't scream bloody murder every time Pai came near (unlike another certain girl in the building)\par
Tart turned to Pudding again. "What do you say we work on Kisshu and Ichigo for one last time today, huh?"
Pudding stood up. "That's a great idea, na no da!" She shouted. "And this time she's not going to be able to call him a pervert!"
Tart silently prayed to whatever God was up there that this time the plan would not involve seeing both Kisshu and Ichigo naked. God laughed at him and said that God makes no promises.
demonluver: Alright! How many of you were shocked at Pai's obession for cream puffs? Come on, hands up!
Kisshu: *rolling on the floor laughing* I can't... believe this... haha...
Ichigo: Shut up Kisshu! That was actually kind of sweet! Except for that one part where Pai pictured Lettuce in nothing but her apron...
demonluver: Um, HELLO? It's called FANSERVICE?
Ichigo: And that matters because...?
demonluver: You are all slaves to it. Myself not included, because no one writes sexy stories about me *sniffle*
Kisshu: I think you're forgetting the Mary Sue stories you and your soul sister do together...
demonluver: Oh yeah, those! Me and my sexy Kouga! *huggles*
Ichigo: That's... kind of creepy...
demonluver: Not half as creepy as some Twilight fans are becoming! They turned it into a religion and are beating the crap out of people who don't like the books!
Kisshu: Dude, are you serious?
demonluver: Yep! And for someone who bashes Twilight as a hobby, I've gotta be prepared... *puts on an army helmet and grabs a bazooka*
Ichigo: ...are you serious? You cant go to school with those!
demonluver: It's okay! I'll hide them under my INVISIBLITY CLOAK!
Kisshu: So to sum up today...
Ichigo: ... demonluver hates Twilight...
Kisshu: ...and is a Harry Potter freak.
demonluver: Pretty much yeah. WATCH OUT FOR CRAZY FANGIRLS! OF ANY KIND!
