Disclaimer: As much as I'd like too, I don't own Tokyo mew mew…but man wouldn't this be a crazy world if I did? I'd make like a TMM band and then like a building with their faces on and then (voice fades off and screen goes black) HEY I WASN'T DONE YET!
"Oh, this night is just about to begin! Prepare to go DOWN Shirogane Ryou!"
"Oh, please,"
"Don't under-estimate your own creation; I am a mew after all! By the way what's for dinner, I'm starved!"
"You mean you just got yourself all pumped up and now you want to eat?"
"That's what I just said pretty-boy," Ebony walked up to Ryou and slapped his fore-head lightly;
"Duh! Catch up,"
"If you want to eat I suggest you don't hit me again," Ryou was smirking at Ebony who all of a sudden started bowing to Ryou.
"Gomen, gomen, I didn't mean it, feed meeeeee!"
"Whoa, I was joking, maybe I should black-mail you with food more often,"
"Don't joke about food when I'm starving, I work in a café for cripes sake! If you black-mail me with food I can thing of ple~nty more things to black-mail you with for instance," Ebony cleared her throat and pulled out a long list.
"Where'd that come from Ebony?" Ryou said with a slightly confused look on his face.
"Your hair, your clothes, your money, your car, your café, your 'bear cave' and your fake tan, dare I go on?"
"What, I don't use fake tan I just go abroad a lot!"
"Yeah right, your in the bear cave most of the time!"
"True, but I'm just naturally tanned it's not my fault!"
"It's okay I believe 'ya its part of the whole 'image' right? The blonde hair, blue eyes, muscular body, you've got to have the tan to go with it!"
"You think I'm muscular?" He said with a smirk riding on his face, which made Ebony shudder.
"Ew stop it, your turning into Kish," Ryou was not expecting this and wore a shocked expression, but it turned relaxed when Ebony started to laugh.
"Anyway Blondie we've gone off topic, what's for dinner?"
"Well usually I go out for dinner; I'm not good with ovens,"
"Oh, so what are you going to leave for me then?"
"What do you mean 'leave for you' exactly?"
"Well if you're going out then I need you to leave me something here, or I'll end up raiding the ingredients cupboard and Keiichero will get mad!"
"You're such a baka sometimes Panda, I'm taking you with me,"
"Nani, why are you taking me? I'll just embarrass you and plus I have no nice clothes, so if I go home and my mom see's me getting a nice outfit, she'll know I'm not at a friends!"
"Relax, it's nowhere posh really, you can just wear part of your school uniform or something,"
"But I'll feel so stupid in my uniform and I'm not going like this!"
"Ugh…girls are so fussy, fine, follow me," Ryou took Ebony's hand and started pulling her up the stairs.
"Uh, where are going Shirogane? Do you want to change your hat? You're not going to do anything perverted are you?"
"We're going to get you some clothes, I'll change in a minute and why would I do something perverted, Ebony I'm not like that!"
"Oh cool!" He carried on dragging her up the hallway until they stopped at the door next to Ryou's. He opened the door to just a plain room with a bed, bedside table and a wardrobe.
"Go in there and get something out of the wardrobe, I'll be getting changed and wait for you downstairs,"
"But wait! What do I- ugh…he's not listening!" Ryou had already gone into his room. Ebony pushed the door in further and stepped in the room shutting the door behind her. 'Man this is dusty! I'm so going to sue him if I get allergies!' She walked over to the only wardrobe and opened it; it was full of casual clothes mostly denim bottoms like short shorts, skirts and skinny jeans. There were also top's in different colours, 'It's kind of off putting that Shirogane has a wardrobe full of girls clothes though…he either likes dressing in these…no wait there to small, maybe he has a girlfriend' at this thought Ebony felt a little sad 'Wait I'm not jealous he has a girlfriend right?' she shook it off and pulled out some black denim short shorts and picked a white, baggy, one shoulder top; she put a thick dark pink belt on her waist. 'What about shoes? Maybe I can go barefoot or something and he could carry me' Ebony giggled as those pictures came to the front of her mind. She found a pink bead necklace attached to one of the hangers 'weird' she thought but put it on; she had already put pink earrings in, in the morning so she was lucky. She noticed a mirror on the wall and she undid her bun and took of the hair-band. She re-tied it again but in a fat, thick ponytail at the back which came of in little flicks as her hair was layered; she kept her hair band in her pocket no needing it. When she was ready she grabbed her work uniform and stepped out of the room again and walked down the hall, stopping and knocking on Ryou's door.
"Blondie, you done changing yet?" She heard his voice faint from the other side of the door.
"No, just go wait downstairs I'll be right out,"
"Kay!" She walked down the stairs muttering something like 'boys complaining' and 'they take even longer' then finally 'we should complain to them!' She went into the changing room and put her uniform in her locker, leaving her school one in there as well, she could take that home tomorrow. Then she went and sat on one of the tables in the café that hadn't been put away yet.
"It's kind of creepy when it's all quiet; remind me never to stay here on my own again!" Ebony visibly shuddered as she felt a draft from the window.'Better shut that before we go out' she walked over to it; looked out for a second then noticed a piece of paper tied to a bush she jumped on the window sill grabbed it; then jumped back in and shut the window. She was about to unfold it when she noticed it said ' ~xEbonyx~ ' she shook her head and shrugged it off unfolding it and beginning to read.
'I know what your doing tonight and who you're going with, if you want to see Shirogane Ryou alive I suggest you cancel your little date and keep a close eye on him, you never know when I will appear.
-Unknown-.'
As quick as she had read the letter she was upstairs and outside Ryou's room in a flash.
"Ryou! Ryou can I come in? Ryou!" She began frantically knocking on the door, when there was no reply she just opened the door and ran in. 'Cripes, where is he? Oh no, please don't say they've hurt him!' After she looked all around his room and the room she changed in, she ran back down the stairs, she checked the kitchen and the café part; nobody there. 'Only one place left to check, the lab' she ran down the stairs and saw the computer screens were on with a picture of Ebony in her human form and her mew form; with all her special skills and fighting abilities. The chair was turned to the computer screens so she couldn't see who was on it.
"Who are you and what have you done with Shirogane? I suggest you show me your face and tell me right now because I could whip you into space and back in 2 minutes!"
"Who I am is none of your concern and as for your friend Shirogane…" A voice spoke that Ebony didn't recognise it was all computerized and sounded like a robot. As the chair turned around Ebony swallowed her fear and fainted when she saw the face in the chair
'H…he is so dead, when I w…wake up…'
'Maybe I shouldn't have done that; I think I scared her too much' Ryou was shaking an unconscious Ebony trying to stir her but to no avail, did she awaken.
"Oh, now I know is shouldn't have done that, why isn't she waking up? Ebony come on wake-up I'm sorry for scaring you like that; I just thought you would take it as a joke," He saw her lips move and she had obviously been trying to say something but it was so quiet he couldn't hear so he placed his ear closer to her mouth.
"So hungry, I need food," He was confused so he turned his head and just stared at her face, at the same time they were very close together. Ebony opened her eyes to Ryou's and almost screamed but she knew if she sat up to quickly they would kiss by 'accident' so she stayed lying down, she quickly closed them again making it seem like she hadn't completely stirred yet 'I love his eyes, wait why hasn't he noticed I'm awake yet, he's looking right at me? Maybe he's so focused on my face he's fallen asleep with his eyes open? Or he's caught looking at my eyes like I'm caught on his? What the heck, I want to try kissing him at least once I might not get another chance' she kept her eyes closed and opened them quickly sitting upright 'Huh that's weird I didn't feel me banging into anybody?' As her eyes re-focused she looked around the room and noticed she was still on the lab floor but Ryou was sat next to her. She went to speak but as soon as he noticed her began to ramble.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have scared you like that, I thought it would be a funny joke before we went out, don't get mad, I was just trying to have some fun,"
"Wait…you think I fainted because you scared me? As soon as I saw you on the chair I wanted to laugh but I fainted because I had been running around trying to find you and I was so starving I fainted because of it,"
"You mean you fainted because you were…hungry?"
"Uh-huh, so are we still going out? How long was I down for?"
"Only 10 minutes and we sure as hell are still going out you need to eat! Just don't faint on the way will you?"
"I promise," She laughed "But, um, can I have some shoes to wear please, unless you want to carry me?"
"There's some black flip-flops waiting by the door for you,"
"Oh Arigatou!" As they stepped out of the lab Ryou and Ebony noticed what each of them were wearing properly. Ryou had the same black fedora hat on as before but instead of his café uniform he had some black skinny jeans that were drooping slightly at the top and slightly showing his red boxers and he had a tight black t-shirt with a skull on the front; showing off his muscular arms. For his shoes he had on vans, slip-ons that were red and black chequered.
"Somebody's looking very 'rock star' today,"
"What is it too much?"
"No Ryou you look great, hot in fact!"
"Cool, you look great too,"
"Tar, oh and I won't tell your girlfriend about you letting me borrow her clothes," she walked off to the front door to pick up the black flip-flops then she walked back to Ryou grabbed his hand and they walked out of the door. 'So he doesn't love me and dad was wrong again! He does have a girl friend because I just got changed in her room and now I'm borrowing her clothes.' Ryou didn't talk until they reached his red sports car and were sat inside.
"Ebony, what did you mean about the girlfriends clothes thing?"
"Exactly that,"
"Why did you think they were my girlfriend's clothes?"
"Well I wasn't assuming they were yours unless they are…"
"No they're not mine, but there not my girlfriends either,"
"So why are someone else's clothes in your girlfriend's room; which by the way is very plain, not saying your girlfriends plain or anything?"
"Would you stop with the whole girl-friend thing?" Ryou shouted a little louder than he intended to and he saw Ebony cower back in her seat in surprise.
"G…gomen, I didn't know you didn't like talking about her did you uh… I'll just leave okay? You don't have to take me out, it would probably be like a date anyway and you've obviously got a girlfriend…ja ne," Ebony opened the door, only to feel Ryou's warm hand grab her wrist.
"Will you listen to me a second before you leave?" He released his grip on her wrist a little and she turned around to face him. "I'm sorry I shouted so loud I shouldn't have worried you. I just got angry because you were right about the girl-friend thing, she used to live in the café with me and those are her clothes, but we're not together anymore; I dated her for 2 months then I turned her into the first mew because she agreed to help me and had the DNA, after fighting a while she said…I'd ruined her life and she hated me, then she made me keep her pendant and she ran off to England with my best friend Akito,"
"Great now I feel like trash for making you tell me that! Do you still have the pendant?"
"Not anymore I gave it to my new girlfriend,"
"A new mew, cool, what's her animal?"
"A Panda,"
"Ha, that's funny I'm a…PANDA!" Ebony had turned her head around to face Ryou so fast she could've given herself whiplash. "I…me…your girlfriend?"
"If you want to be, I know you're probably not over the whole Kish thi- oof!" Ryou stopped mid-sentence because Ebony had; awkwardly, jumped over from her car seat and hugged Ryou.
"Yeah, I will be your girlfriend, you know the truth is I was jealous when I got the thought you had a girlfriend…"
"Well you don't need to be because now you're my girlfriend," She pulled out of the hug from Ryou and sat back in her seat.
"You know, just because I'm your girlfriend now doesn't mean I'm going to stop playing pranks on you or calling you Blondie,"
"So pretty-boy will stop?"
"No because now you're my pretty boy!" She laughed and tapped his nose with her finger. "Okay now all that funs over can we pleaaaase go to the restaurant, I am not starving anymore im dyyyying!"
"Sure Teddy," Ebony's eyes turned into horizontal lines and her mouth dropped, with a sweat-drop sliding down her head.
"Oh my god, do you know how crappy that sounds? By the way I'm a panda!"
"And you're a very cute panda at that,"
"I know" She winked at Ryou and he just started the engine and drove onto the main road to the restaurant.
"Forget her Kish, she's just a stupid mew, you don't love her, you don't love Ichigo, they're just stupid teenage crushes, blah, blah ,blah stupid Pai getting angry just because he got his ass whooped!" Kish was mocking Pai and sat on the cliff where him and Ebony first went on a 'date', he was away from Pai and Tart because it seemed now-a-days he like being on his own. It was night time so Kish was basically staring at the nothing as the sky was cloudy and there were no stars in the sky; he sighed out of boredom and decided to go to Ebony's house 'She should be sleeping by now and I doubt she can attack me whilst she's sleeping'
"Shirogane, we didn't have to stay out so late, I'm so…tired," Ebony yawned in the little gap between her speech, resting her hand on her head on the car door armrest; as she watched the passing lights of the city she tried to keep her head up; but eventually the day's events caught up with her and she fell asleep listening to the 'hmmm' of the engine and the roaring noise it made when Ryou accelerated. Ryou heard her breath begin to deepen slightly and he snuck a quick glance at her, her pony-tail was falling to the left because of the angle she had her head on her hands; he smiled at her peaceful face and noticed how long her eyelashes were, he turned forward again and turned down the road which lead to the park.
"Awww her windows closed, it's a shame I'm not an alien I could've teleported in…oh wait I am!" Kish was feeling rather happy at getting to see Ebony up close and not in a fight. He walked over to her bed only to find her not in it 'Now where's my little cutie gone? She knows she's not supposed to hide from me' Kish teleported out of Ebony's room and onto her stairs she could hear a masculine voice and a caring, feminine voice 'her parents?'
"I'm sorry that you came home and missed Ebony, Haru,"
"Ah it's no problem she just rang me and I realised how much I missed her, besides I couldn't miss my daughter 16th birthday which friends house was she at again?"
"I think it was Pudding, a little girl she works with at the café, she lives on her own so Ebony offered to help look after her siblings.,"
"Oh she's so thoughtful our Ebony, I asked for 2 days off sick so I can see her tomorrow," 'Pudding's house? Oh well maybe I can visit her tomorrow night! I miss you Cutie'
Ryou had parked the car and realising that Ebony wasn't going to wake up he got out of the car; carefully shutting the door and he went round to her side. He undid her seatbelt and picked her up bridal-style, Ryou wasn't expecting her to be so light, 'This girl seriously needs to eat more! Maybe I'm working her to hard?' He reached the café door and threw Ebony over his shoulder as he found the key and opened it he then put her back in his arms and walked up the stairs. He walked past his room and went to the room Ebony was changing in earlier. He placed her on the bed and went over to the wardrobe he could smell her scent all over the clothes; he'd noticed it when Ebony hugged him, but he decided not to say anything. 'Anzu…' He grabbed a black vest top and pyjama pants with panda faces all over them and placed them on the bottom of the bed, he then lifted Ebony in the bed under cover, he brushed her bangs out of her eyes and lent down to kiss her fore-head then an image re-played in his mind 'Anzu was asleep in her bed when all of a sudden the door opened; a very tired Ryou stepped in the room, he was done in the lab for the day and had come up to say goodnight to Anzu. He walked over to the bed and brushed her blonde; almost white, hair out of her face; he remembered longing to look into her shining black eyes. He bent down kissed her lips and walked out of the room smiling happily as he himself went to bed' he immediately removed his hand from Ebony's hair and walked out of the room; head in hands 'Why am I still not over her and why am I just remembering her now? Why did I remember that when I went to kiss Ebony, Ebony and Anzu are total opposites; Ebony had dark hair with light eyes; Anzu had light hair with dark eyes. Ebony is sarcastic and lively but Anzu was quiet and polite, the one thing they both have in common though…they're Mew Panda' Ebony had slightly woken up when Ryou placed his cold hand on her fore-head; she had a habit of doing that, but when she squinted to see his face he was about to kiss her then he looked like he remembered something and walked out depressed. 'That old girlfriends the problem, but it must have been like that for him with me and Kish. I finally get a chance though and he's still thinking about her? I can't be selfish I just won't mention it' Ebony got out of the covers and put on the panda pyjamas, she shook her hair out of the pony-tail leaving her glossy black hair twisting down to her waist; reflecting the moonlight. She felt unable to sleep then, her mind full of these thoughts and so she sat on the window-sill hugging her knees to her chest and looked at the sky. 'No stars tonight, I hope my friends are having a nicer nights sleep than me'
Ryou was in his bed unable to sleep overwhelmed with thoughts of Anzu and Ebony; he decided to go and get a glass of water to see if that would help him sleep. He pulled the covers off of him revealing his dark blue pyjama trousers. Then he opened his door as quietly as he could and walked down the stairs. He took a glass out of the cupboard and ran it under the tap 'I was right that water cleared my head a bit, I'll check on Eb' one more time' he paced as quietly up the stairs as he could and opened her door a crack, he looked at the bed but couldn't see her in it 'Maybe she's changing' but he looked to the bed and couldn't see the pyjamas, then as he was about to shut the door he heard her voice mumbling softly, she was obviously thinking out loud.
"Maybe me and Shirogane shouldn't even be together, or even me and Kish…Shirogane has that old girlfriend and Kish has Ichigo, I shouldn't even be a mew…5 was the final number and suddenly I show up some stupid replacement for Ryou's girlfriend! Then when I get Kish and I'm happy, I get dumped because he still loves Ichigo, I finally find the courage to be with Shirogane and now he can't even kiss me without picturing that girl," He heard her sigh deeply as she continued to look out of her window 'She's got so much going on in her life, it should be so easy, but with all those love problems, school, work, being a mew and never seeing her dad, why hasn't she told me that I've ruined her life yet? Maybe Anzu and Ebony do only have one thing in common.'He closed the door to Ebony's room making it 'click' Ebony turned around at this and Ryou mentally cursed himself from the other side of the door.
"Must've been the wind," 'Phew safe, she didn't hear me' he tip-toed back to his room and tried to get some sleep. Ebony did the same this time, not being tucked in.
Ebony pulled the cover over her head and groaned as the sun rose over her. 'Thank goodness it's Saturday!' She threw the covers off herself and stretched as she stood up, she tied her hair in a very just-woken-up bun and went out of her room and down the stairs, into the kitchen.
"Ohayou Ebony, did you sleep here in the end then?"
"Oh…ayou" Ebony yawned in reply as she rubbed her eyes and sat on the counter.
"I'm guessing you did sleep here then?"
"Huh…oh…what? Yeah I did, Ryou took me out to this restaurant place, but I was so tired when we got back I just f…fell asleep in his c…car, gomen I should stop…yawning!"
"Oh that's good then,"
"Not exactly," She muttered under her breath, quiet enough so that Keiichero couldn't have heard it.
"Would you like me to make you some breakfast Ebony?"
"Keiichero you're so nice, you're evil, but I'm going to just get my stuff and go home for breakfast, I'm missing my mom, plus I think I'm coming down with something," Keiichero lightly chuckled.
"So you're a mommy's girl then?"
"Nope I'm a fully-fledged daddy's girl!" Ebony said smiling as if being a daddy's girl was the best thing in the world. (a/n: which it is when they give you money! :D)
"Okay then, are you coming back for work later?"
"Might do, but I feel like trash, I don't really care if I don't because, if Blondie shouts at me I'll whip him into the next moon, besides aren't Pudding, Mint, Ichigo and Zakuro working today anyway?"
"Yes, I believe so; Lettuce is going to a museum of pre-historic animals today,"
"Well, isn't she a barrel of fun! I've got my pendant if you need me!" Keiichero offered his hand to Ebony which she accepted and jumped of the counter. "Be right back, I'll just get changed and gather my stuff then come and say bye to you,"
"Don't you want to say bye to Shirogane?"
"Can't be bothered to wait for him to wake-up he had a late night last night!"
"How do you know that?"
"Because he was far too busy standing outside my door watching me look out the window!" By now she was half-way up the stairs purposely shouting and directing it to Ryou's room, she knew he would be awake by now and had heard that. Keiichero just lightly chuckled at her antics and began to prepare ingredients and turn on ovens. As she got up the stairs she realised she needed her school uniform she didn't fancy wearing anymore of those girls clothes, now she knew whose they were it made her uncomfortable and it obviously upset Ryou. She grabbed her uniform, her school book-bag and folded her work-uniform again placing it in the locker. She dragged her things up the stairs and began to change in the room. When she was done and had put her hair in a high pony-tail like the night before with her white hair-band brushing her bangs off her face, she stripped the sheets and covers off the bed; grabbed them, the pyjamas and the clothes she wore the night before and put them in a cardboard box she found in the corner of the room. She found a pen and wrote a note on the box 'Please wash these, couldn't work the washing machine :)
-ps. You really should get rid of those clothes if they upset you.
-pps. It's my 16th birthday tomorrow, get excited!'
Then she carried all her stuff and left the box with the clothes outside Ryou's door, she knocked on it but didn't get a response so she carried on down the stairs.
"Ebony nee-chan!"
"Ohayou Pudding, you're a bit early aren't 'ya?"
"Uh-huh I came to help Keiichero get ready, but you're here even earlier…with your school stuff?"
"Oh yeah…I slept here last night because my mom was out of town and she didn't trust me looking after the house, I didn't say anything because I didn't want you 5 to all fuss over me. I didn't bring any spare clothes either that's why I'm in my school things," 'Is it bad that I'm getting good at this?'
"Oh are you coming back to work later nee-chan?"
"Probably not, I've got a bit of a headache but I'm fine,"
"Okay then that means….MORNING HUG!" Pudding jumped from where she was and glomped Ebony an innocent bystander, but she loved Pudding she was a bit like a little sister to all the mews.
"Okay well I'm going to say bye to Keiichero and then I'll be leaving," She walked over to the kitchen window.
"Ja ne Keiichero I'm ready now, so see you tomorrow maybe, I'm feeling a little ill so I might be off sick,"
"That's fine, you've been working hard lately you deserve a day off,"
"Mm-huh," She waved to Keiichero and Pudding and passed Ichigo on her way out.
"Oh konnichiwa Ichigo are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm good, why are you in your uniform?"
"Pudding will explain, ja ne!" Ebony couldn't wait to get out of there just thinking about the whole Ryou thing made her feel exhausted, she did really like him she knew that now; but now somebody else was in the way…her.
"Mom, I'm ho~me!" Ebony said in a sing song voice as she stepped through the door.
"Ohayou, Ebony, come see your father,"
"Kay, be right back!" She ran up the stairs and changed out of her school uniform, she jumped into a warm shower and began to recur the past days events.
Ryou was now properly awake and stood outside his door he had accidently kicked the box and began to read the note. 'Oh they're the bed sheets and clothes' he only read the part about throwing out the clothes before scrunching the note up in anger; missing the part about Ebony's birthday the day after. He held the scrunched up paper in one hand and held the box under his other, making his way down the stairs.
"Hey Keiichero, why did Ebony leave this here, she can just do it now can't she?"
"Uh well no, she went home earlier,"
"What, why did she go home?" Ryou wondered why she had left and not said goodbye 'She did find out that I was outside her room last night…so she knows I heard her thinking about the Anzu thing…maybe she thinks I still like her?'
"She said she wanted to see her parents and she said she'd started to feel a little ill, I offered to make her breakfast and for you to wake up but she just left,"
"Do you think I should go and see her?"
"I think it's best to leave her for a little while she might not come back for a couple of days and if she doesn't come back tomorrow, I think you should go and see her, maybe take her something,"
"Nah, I'll just wait until she comes back to the café, hey can I wash these?"
"Yeah, I just un-loaded the last of it,"
"Arigato," Ryou walked past Keiichero and to the room with the washing machine and dryer he placed the clothes in and then went to throw the paper in the bin behind the counter; where Mint was actually working today. As Ryou threw he didn't noticed he missed the bin and just wondered back into his room. Mint noticed he had thrown it on the floor and being the snob she is; picked it up and started to read it. 'Why is Ebony bothered about washing bed sheets…she didn't sleep here did she and where these clothes to go out or something? It's her birthday tomorrow is it, it doesn't look like Ryou read this bit…that means he doesn't know it's her birthday…me and the girls can have some fun with this!' She straightened out the paper and put it in her apron pocket then went back to drinking her tea, only when Ichigo and Pudding walked past she grabbed then and pulled them around the other side of the counter, she simply shoved the note in their faces and their eyes lit up when they read about the birthday party.
"She gave this note to Ryou and it looks like he hasn't read that bit, so I think he doesn't know its her birthday, I thought of an idea, we should all keep talking about birthdays in front of him and tomorrow we'll set up a big surprise party for Ebony, like a formal or something and just say to Ryou we want a ball-gown evening, he won't know it's Ebony's birthday and we will, we can go and give her our presents and Ryou won't know what's going on!" Ichigo and Pudding just stared wide-eyes at Mint not getting a word she just said she sighed and simplified it.
"Ryou doesn't know its Ebony's birthday tomorrow, so we will throw a party and pretend it's for a charity night or something, then when we give Ebony her presents Ryou won't have one because he wouldn't know it's her birthday!"
"But one-chan said she was feeling ill Na no da!"
"I bet she's just saying that after all she did sleep here last night,"
"Onee-chan lied to Pudding Na no da!"
"I'm sure she just didn't want you to get suspicious Pudding, she didn't mean it, you're her little sister, she wouldn't lie if it wasn't important,"
"So are we doing the party then Na no da?"
"We sure are, lets go get Keiichero in on the plan and he can help convince Ryou," The three girls stood up and made there way to the kitchen, Pudding jumped on the counter and signalled for him to bend down slightly so she could reach his ear, she cupped her hand and began to whisper to him.
"She never mentioned her birthday maybe she didn't want a fuss, but Ryou needs to learn his lesson for getting angry and not reading the rest of that note so I'll convince him, I'll even make her a birthday cake,"
"Right and tomorrow we'll get her here by using her mew pendant and saying there's an attack,"
"Plan sorted, now we'll work today and keep mentioning to Ryou about birthdays and then, Keiichero will send him out for the day so we can hide her birthday cake and when he comes back we'll start the party and invite Ebony,"
"Are you sure this will work Na no da?" At that moment Zakuro walked past them and simply said.
"Count me out of your childish games, I have a TV show to appear on tomorrow anyway, tell Ebony I said happy birthday," Mint looked shocked and simply nodded, then she walked into he changing room came out in casual clothes and walked out the café, leaving Mint to go and sit at her table, Pudding to jump on her giant ball and Ichigo to begin running around again. They were going to make this a party Ebony would never forget, and make it a day Ryou would regret, not even getting his own girlfriend a present.
