Hi again! Here is the next chapter and I am planning to post another short chapter today (it is going to be really short though). Anyway, I hope you enjoy this and please review.

'So…How was your date?'

'Good.'

'Just good?'

'Yeah…'

'Come on, Ichigo! You have to tell me everything!'

'But nothing especial happened.'

Lettuce looked at Ichigo, she knew she was lying.

'Fine I will tell you everything,' Ichigo said in defeat.

Ichigo looked around to make sure no one was listening. Then she whispered something in Lettuce's ear making her gasp.

'Oh my God!'

'I know.'

'Did he like the chocolates?

'Yeah, he did.'

The two girls talked for a while. They were outside sitting in a bench enjoying the lovely weather outside.

'Lettuce,' Ichigo said, 'I think it's time to tell this to the rest of the Mews.'

'Tell them what?'

'About me and Kisshu,' Ichigo whispered quietely.

'Are you sure?'

'We should let them know, don't you think?' Ichigo didn't know what their reactions were going to be like and she wasn't sure they would believe her. But she has to tell them the truth, even if they can't accept it; she knows Lettuce will be by her side.

So Lettuce and Ichigo went to the café Mew Mew. It was closed but everyone was still there. When both of them went inside Mint, Pudding and Zakuro were there. Ryou and Keiichiro were there too. Lettuce looked at Ichigo who gave a nod.

'I have an announcement to make,' Ichigo said loudly. That got everyone's attention straight away. Ichigo didn't know what to say or how to start so she took a few seconds to figure it out and took a deep breath.

'It's about the aliens.'

'What happened to them na no da?' Pudding asked worriedly.

'Nothing happened to them, it's just that there is something I have been hiding from you guys.'

'What?' Mint asked.

'I…I have fallen in love with one of the aliens,' Ichigo said giving a nervous laugh.

Everyone stared at her with their mouth open. Ryou was the first person to talk, 'And which alien exactly?'

'K…Kisshu.'

Now everyone was even more surprised. Ichigo liked Kisshu?! None of this made any sense. Ryou was shocked too. He just stared at her waiting for her to say that all of this was some sort of joke. She didn't. A few seconds later, he started laughing. The girls looked at him confused.

'Seriously? You like Kisshu? I mean, Kisshu?' Ryou laughed some more, 'Stop joking around Ichigo.' He said before he went out of the room. Ichigo looked at Lettuce, this was not going how it was planned.

'Er…' Ichigo tried to say something to break the awkward silence but she was interrupted by Ryou who came back in the room, 'You aren't joking, are you?' he asked, his face now serious and he stopped laughing.

Ichigo shook her head slowly in response.

'I don't understand, what happened to the 'I-hate-Kisshu-cuz-he-is-the-most-annoying-and-stupid-perverted-alien?' Mint gave Ichigo a questioning look.

'Well…' Ichigo didn't know what to say. Maybe telling the rest of the Mews wasn't a very good idea after all. She should have waited a little bit longer and tell them when they are ready to hear it. The problem is, Ichigo doesn't think that will ever happen.

It was true, Ichigo didn't like Kisshu. At first, but if only she hadn't shown so much hatred towards him, her situation would have been a little bit more…Believable. She hardly believed it herself. This was getting ridiculous.

'This is great news, na no da!' The youngest of the Mews stood up and gave Ichigo a hug, 'I am glad Ichigo likes Kisshu na no da! I think you two make a great couple! Thank you for telling this to Pudding! She will not tell anyone and she will make sure no one else doesn't either!'

Ichigo gave a sigh of relief. At least Pudding was being helpful. She smiled at her and looked at everyone else, 'So… Aren't you guys going to say anything?'

'Why didn't you tell us this before?' Zakuro asked. Mint nodded in agreement.

'I didn't know how you were going to react…'

'You should have told us before but we believe you anyway,' Mint told her. Ichigo was surprised, that was not the reaction Ichigo was expecting from Mint.

'Me too,' Zakuro soon joined in.

'Thank you!' Ichigo was happy that everything was now sorted out. Her friends knew and they were happy about it. What more could she want?

'Have you got any idea what you are saying?' Ryou asked.

Everyone now looked at him, 'he is an alien, Ichigo. An alien!'

'I know but… I can't help it, I…'

'You fell in love with him. And now what are you going to do when he breaks your heart?'

'What are you talking about?' Ichigo didn't believe what Ryou was saying. How can he be so mean? Just because he was an alien it didn't mean he didn't have any feelings.

'Ryou stop it,' Zakuro said.

'Ichigo listen, I am not saying you shouldn't fall in love with him. If you have fallen for him then that's fine. There is nothing you can do if have fallen in love with someone. I understand,' Ryou explained, 'But think about it. He is an alien and I am not trying to say he doesn't have any feelings or anything and I am not trying to say that he can't make you happy either. I am just saying that he will eventually go back to his planet, he has to even if he doesn't want to. And when he does you will be left alone.'

'Ryou is right,' Keiichiro said, 'We are not against the fact that you like him, we are trying to make you understand what might happen after you have fallen in love with him. He can't stay in this planet, it's too dangerous and if he goes back you can't go with him either, it will be dangerous for you too and you have your friends and family here.'

Ichigo gave another sigh of relief. Ryou and Keiichiro did have a point. But she was happy that they were trying to understand her situation, 'Thank you for understanding, I will talk to him about all of this.'

'Whatever decision you make, we will always support you,' Zakuro told her, 'You can always tell me anything that is bothering you, think of me as you big sister,' Zakuro smiled.

Ichigo smiled too. She was so happy, now she has support from all of her friends, 'I can't tell you how happy I am.'

Ichigo thanked all of her friends one more time before leaving the café and heading home. When she was gone, everyone went back to do what they were doing before.

Ichigo came home and made herself a little snack because she was hungry. That went better than Ichigo expected. She was glad that was out the way. Now she has one less thing to worry about.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Since her parents were both busy Ichigo went to answer it, wondering who it could be. She walked to the door and opened it. She gasped when she saw who was standing outside. She nearly forgot about him. She never expected to see him again. It was someone who she hadn't seen for a long time. It was Aoyama.
