Me: Yeah, it's me. I'm back.

Bubbles: Why so glum?

Boomer: Yeah, aren't you always like 'I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!'

Me: Don't let me punch you, Boomer.

Boomer: Sorry.

Blossom: Why are you so glum?

Me: Because I got homework and tests to study for.

Blossom: Oh.

Butch: Wow! I am sooooooo lucky I ain't you!

Me: *glares*

Butch: *turns around quickly, whistling like nothing had happened*

Buttercup: Here's a solution. Just don't do it.

Me: Well unlike you I'm a good student so that will have to be a no no.

Buttercup: *rolls eyes*

Me: Anyway, I don't own anything from PPGZ, only the plot of my story and all that stuff so read and enjoy.

Katsu/Butch POV

"Ooh. Someone's excited!" I tease Kaoru at lunch the next day. I'm so glad that our problem has been solved and that I don't have to act like some wimp again. That was definitely something I won't be doing again. Doesn't really fit me.

"I am not." she says shoving at my shoulder. Yeah right. It's totally obvious she's anticipating our date. Or is it something else? Hmmm. Yeah, it's the date.

"Yeah right." I answer. "It's pretty hard not to believe that with you smiling all the time. You never smile."

"I do too." she wines.

"That's called grinning and smirking. Not smiling." I reply.

"Whatever." Is all she says.

"Hey guys!" I turn around and I'm looking at a really ugly girl. Very childish looking too. Her hair is two humongous puff balls and she's wearing this huge pink puffy dress. Yuck! I turn around completely uninterested.

"Ugh!" Mamoru complains. "It's her!" I look over at him, questioningly. He just shrugs.

"Miss me Mamoru?" she asks.

"No." he answers and I snort. Anger crosses the girl's face but she quickly wipes it away.

"You doing anything tonight?" she says. She continues without an answer. "Great! We could go to that new movie, House at the End of the Street. I heard it's suppose to be good."

"I'm not going out anywhere with you!" Mamoru answers. "Plus, I've got plans." He puts an arm around Momoko and pecks her on the cheek causing her to blush.

"Humph." she grunts. "Well what about you Mokoto?"

"Sorry, I'm kind of seeing someone." he answers.

"And who could be better than me?" The girl almost exclaims, her face getting redder by the second.

"Me!" Miyako says coming up behind Mokoto all of a sudden and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Sorry I was late. Had to talk to a teacher." She plops down in the empty seat next to Mokoto and glares at the girl while saying, "But I'm back now."

Whoo! Who knew the girl could get feisty!

"Fine! Katsu! You're going with me!" she demands.

"Excuse me but, what may your name be?" I ask staring at the girl dully.

She gives a small smile. "Himeko, but everyone calls me Princess."

"Well, Princess," I say getting out of my seat and walking up to her, meeting her face to face. "I think you're a very unattractive girl and I will never go anywhere with you. I don't know you and I already don't like you. And before you charge in and demand someone to do anything, don't. I've got plans and if you have the nerve to dishonor them then you'll never end up even going near me again." I cupped her head in my hand.

"Take this all in because this is the closest you'll ever be near me, got it?" She stands there unreasoning, eyes wide.

"Got it?" I ask again.

She nods.

"Good." I answer. I remove my hand and start walking away before turning back to her again. "Oh, and I think Mr. Unattractive is checking you out over there." I point over to him and sit back down in my seat.

"Now where we?" I ask Kaoru, ignoring Princess's shocked figure behind me. "Oh yes, you are totally excited."

"Am not!" she complains.

Kaoru/Buttercup POV

That afternoon I spent the rest of the evening getting ready. I rummaged my closet finding absolutely nothing. All my outfits were boring. All boyish. I didn't even have a decent pair of skinny jeans in my draws. No accessories unless you count the ring Dai gave me, which I decided to wear today.

I ended up stealing some of my mom's clothes (we're the same size). A green and white checkered button down and skinny jeans. I wore my own black converses and White Sox baseball cap.

I checked myself in the mirror. I wore my hair in a ponytail in the cap and wore a gray leather jacket with no make up. Well, maybe just a little lip gloss but nothing more.

I hope Katsu didn't notice my looking girly. He would think I was wearing it because I was excited about the date (which I'm not, okay maybe just a little) but that isn't the real reason. I thought it would be easier to find out more about Katsu if I looked attractive. You know, kind of do some flirting and see if that will do something.

Honk! Honk!

Those blasting nieghbors! Do they really need to be so loud? I'm trying to work here! I stomp downstairs and swing the door open about to curse them out when I see that the honking car is parked in my driveway and Katsu's sitting at the driver seat. He stopped the noise and got out of his car.

"What are you doing?" I ask stepping forward.

"Getting you out of here." he answers. "And I must say you look cute in that little outfit of yours." I almost blush. Almost. But instead I whack him on the head and get in the car. He gets in soon after.

"Are you even old enough to drive?" I ask.

"I'm sixteen." he replies. "I'll drive when I want."

"If I end up in jail you are going to pay." I say buckling up.

"I'll pay you with a kiss. How 'bout it?" he puts the key in the ignition and the car starts to rumble. I wait for him to get on the road before I whack him on the head again.

"How 'bout not?" I say.

"You don't know what you're missing." he teases.

"Wow. A jerk to a wimp and a jerk again. How funny." I say dryly. We drive silently for a few minutes before I talk again. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see." he answers.

"But you said the third date would be a surprise, not the first." I complain.

"Well, now I'm saying it's a surprise. Happy?" he says. I groan in reply.

"I like the ring." Katsu says after another few minutes of silence. "Looks old though. Your mother pass it down or something."

"Actually, my older brother gave it to me." I say. His eyes widen in surprise. "I know. Not something he'd usually do. But then again, he's always full of surprises."

"Hmmm." he mummers. I turn around facing him.

"You know, I don't know much about you." I say. I see him stiffen but decide to continue anyway. "Besides the fact that your families stupid and you're a jerk, what else is there to you? Where did you come from? Who is Katsu Cocoa?"

He presses his lips together and I can see him tighten his grip on the steering wheel. I decide to turn on the charm. I sit up a little straighter on the seat and place my hand gently on his shoulder. He glances at me but turns back to the road quickly.

"So?" I ask. He stares at me a little bit longer and I widen my eyes in a puppy dog manner. I can see him decide whether or not he's going to answer. I hope he does. He stares at me and I stare back. And can see the emotions changing across his face. Confusion, sadness, anger…

I got perplexed wondering what were behind them. Why he had them. It made me even more curious about him and his past. So many questions filled my mind right then. Maybe Katsu the mysterious does make sense.

His lips twitched with frustration and I was starting to think that maybe I should change the subject but a pair of bright headlights had stopped me. I didn't understand what happened next.

We were on the right lane, but yet it came crashing toward us.

"Katsu!" I screamed. His head suddenly sprung to face forward and I felt myself being swung on Katsu's side as the car was sent through a fence and dodged it. But then my head almost hit the window as we tumbled forward toward the dark horror ahead. I remember seeing Katsu's terrified face before I was plunged into a deep, dark, unconsciousness as the car twirled around and came to a stop at the end.

Me: Hope you liked.

Butch: Are we dead?

Buttercup: Or something?

Me: I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

Buttercup and Butch: *shudders*

Me: Anyway, I know Katsu's not suppose to have a pass since he was born in a machine but that's only what you think.

Everyone else: *confused faces*

Me: Just in case I forget to mention it in the story, I'll tell you now. *clears throat* The boys didn't just appear from thin space. They were actually real boys before they were zapped into Mojo's control. They don't remember their past much, only bits and pieces but Katsu knows a little more. So yeah, I might mention it in the book and it may be a little more in detail. But that depends on if I remember too. So review, kay? Kay.
