Tokyo Mew Mew (Ryou Love Story)

Chapter 3: Pranks For Days

It was the weekend and I decided to go on walk to the park. I spotted Ichigo and some guy with her. I hid behind a tree and saw the guy had fallen asleep, at least I think he did. I noticed Ichigo going to kiss him, then 'POOF!' Ichigo had turned into a cat. She ran off and I tried to follow her, but I lost her in an ally.
*Time Skip brought to you by the magical powers of a kiss*
I was sweeping the floor of the cafe because we had just closed for the day when Keiichiro walked up to me.
"Hey Star, have you seen Ichigo anywhere? She wasn't here today" He asked me. I nodded my head and everyone wanted to know where she is so we all sat at a table.
"Where is she?" Lettuce asked with a worried look.
"Well, I saw her at the park with this guy..." I started, but Pudding cut me off.
"His name is Masaya" Pudding smiled.
"As I was saying, I saw 'Masaya'..." I proceeded to tell them the story.
"I knew this was soon to happen," Ryou sighed, "Everyone here has a animal within them and you turn into that animal when you try to kiss someone and when Ichigo tried to kiss Masaya, she transformed into a cat. To change her back, she has to kiss another animal." All of us girls nodded our heads. So if i try to kiss...you know who...I will turn into a fox.
"Well, we gotta find her" Mint announced. We were shocked that Mint was actually worried about Ichigo. Though we shook that off and settled on a plan on how to find Ichigo.
                                  *Time Skip brought to you by the powers of friendship*
I was walking alone because we decided that it would be easier to find her. I kept looking down every alleyway when I noticed a black figure in the corner of one alley. I slowly walked towards it and realized it was Ichigo and called out to her.
"Star!" She rejoiced and jumped into my arms. I was weird to hear her voice coming from an animal, but I guess it has to do with our animals. She was a cat, while I was a fox. Although they are not relatively close, it might be because we are really close to each other.
"Where were you? Everyone was so worried about you" I asked her as she looked down at the ground.
"I'm sorry for worrying everyone" she mumbled, but I instantly thought of an idea.
"Wanna play a joke on them" I asked her and she perked up and nodded her head. I quickly ran to the cafe with her in my arms and hoped that no one else was there or else this prank wouldn't work. I hid Ichigo in the cabinet and handed her a rat while telling her that it would change her back to herself. Soon everyone was back to the cafe empty handed and noticed that I was already here.
"Did you find her?" Mint asked me and I shook my head trying to not smile.
"What if she got captured?" Pudding announced and everyone, but me, looked shocked. After a while, everyone was wondering around the cafe sad. Except for Ryou and Keiichiro because they were in the back. I sneakily walked over to the cabinet that Ichigo was in and told her it was time.
"BOO!" Ichigo yelled jumping out of the cabinet followed by loud screams which caused the guys to come out running. Ichigo and I fell to the floor laughing and rolling around.
"We thought you were a goner" everyone exclaimed and Ichigo stopped laughing to tell them why she was in the cabinet. I sat up on the floor and wiped a tear from my eye while saying, "That was so worth it."
"HUG TIME!" I announced and began my round of hugging everyone, but Ryou wouldn't let me hug him again.
"What's wrong Star?" Ichigo came up to me. I pouted while pointing at Ryou and sat on the floor again. I watched as Ichigo walked up to Ryou and asked him to talk to her in private.
