DISCALIMER: I DO NOT OWN TOKYO MEW MEW. I OWN CLAIR, AMBER, THE PLANET'S NAME (SUNDAR) AND SERENA.

CHAPTER 5

STARTING OVER

I couldn't sleep well that night. I tossed and turned but my eyes wouldn't close. I sighed and go up. Maybe sitting in the garden for a while would clear my head from all this nonsense.

I put on a jacket and some tennis shoes and walked outside. Even though I was on a different planet, it still felt like Earth. I can look up at the sky and believe I'm on a hiking trip with my parents.

I sat down at the fountain and looked at my reflection. Funny, that Mulan song Reflection is running through my head right now. The words meant the same as they do for me right now.

Would my parents be proud of what I had become? I'm the same person I was on Earth, but I don't look like it.

"You are NOT Amber." I whispered angrily at my reflection.

This was not the Amber I once knew. With white hair, blue eyes, cat ears and tail, slim body, and big breast. This wasn't me. I could feel tears of anger roll down my face. I fought back the urge to scream because I knew I would wake everyone up. Even the whole town.

"I knew I would find you out here." A voice said from behind me.

I turned around to see Clair behind me.

"Oh, Clair, what are you doing here?" I asked.

I quickly tried to wipe my eyes from the water that was flowing out of them freely now.

"I should be asking you the same thing." She said.

She walked over and sat next to me. I put my hands in my land and looked down at the ground.

"You seem very upset about something." Clair said.

"I want to go home." I whispered.

"But, you are home." She said.

"No I'm not! I'm a strange planet in a stranger's home and I don't look like myself anymore! How can I be home?" I asked.

Clair looked at me with stern but kind eyes. She grabbed my head and turned me back to my reflection.

"Look, just because you don't know who you are doesn't mean you can't create your own life again." She told me.

I thought about that. I had made a mistake when I was younger once, and I had always wished I could start my lie over. Maybe fate was letting me start my life over. Maybe, just maybe, my parent's death on Earth and my sudden move to Sundar was like erasing me from history on Earth.

I smiled a little, I could start over and leave my past behind me.
