Mythical Mew Mew - Chapter Two

A bell rung in a large, old school. Students all pilled out of their classrooms to go to first break. In room G43, a Geography room, everyone had left, including the teacher. But the first to escape the lesson where three girls. Their names; Razuberī, Tanoshī, and Emi. Razuberī had reddish-brown hair tied into a side-ponytail and murky blue eyes, Tanoshī had short ginger hair that hung messily from her head and grey/black eyes, and Emi had long brunette hair slung over her shoulder with blue eyes. Razuberī had grabbed hold of her two best friends' hands the second the bell had sounded and dragged them out of lesson and down the long hallway. "SLOW DOWN!!!" Tanoshī yelped as her hair ruffled in the wind. "Whoa Razz!" Emi shouted, shortening Razuberī's name and holding tightly onto her school bag. "I'M HUNGGGRRYYYY!!! WE GOTTA GET THERE FIRST!!!" Razuberī replied, turning the corner into the Dinner Hall. She came to a halt, checked the line for food was short, and threw her bag at Tanoshī who caught both hers, and Emi's. "Why do I always get your luggage?!" Tanoshī complained. "Because you're not buying food and you can take them to the table!" Emi explained before zooming off to the line. "Plus you're a lovely and caring person full of kindness!" Razuberī added before joining Emi.

Tanoshī sighed, went to an empty circular table and dumped the bags down on separate chairs before settling down into her packed lunch. A few minutes passed and Razuberī and Emi where back with trays full of food. "Yo!" Razuberī cheered before sliding into her chair and grinning. "Long time no see, young Jedi Son." Tanoshī joked.
Emi was already nearly finished and wasn't paying much attention as she stuffed pizza in her mouth. "Can she eat any quicker?!" Tanoshī said, surprised yet disgusted at the food flying around from Emi's plate. "I know right!" Razuberī agreed. Both girls tutted at Emi and looked at their own food. They both suddenly started wolfing it down and also making a mess.

A short while later and they had all finished. "Yum!" Emi cheered, wiping her mouth with her sailor-style uniform sleeve. "That was absolutely delicious!" Tanoshī said in a rather over-exaggerated posh voice. "Indeed it was, my friend. I must send my thanks to the maker of this meal!" Razuberī replied, also in a posh voice. Just as a teacher passed Razuberī stuck her hand up and shouted "Waiter! Waiter!" The teacher gave her a funny look and walked away. "Must I do everything myself?!" Razuberī shouted, still with the accent. "You just can't get the staff these days." Emi joined in. Razuberī got up, went over to the kitchen door, which was strictly no students allowed, and yelled in; "Good day! My largest thanks to the chef for her mouth-watering meal! Ta-ta for now!" All the staff in the kitchen also gave her strange looks. Razuberī turned back round to Emi and Tanoshī to see them in fits of giggles.

"I'm gonna put my stuff in the bin." Tanoshī said, wiping a tear of laughter from her eye and picking her lunch box up. "Tan-tan….You know you love me…" Razuberī started. "No." Tanoshī simply said before walking away. "Charming!" Razuberī shouted after her. She picked her plates up, as did Emi, and followed her over to a big bin. She scraped her food into the bin and put her plate into a separate tub. The girls scampered back to their table, slung their bags over their shoulders, and walked towards the door. Before leaving the girls did their daily pointless routine of getting hand sanitizer from the pump and high fiving everyone they see.

When they finished and headed out, Razuberī scanned the room quickly before exiting. 'No way.' Razuberī thought as she noticed someone watching her. Airashī Āron. The guy who, in Razuberī's eyes, was the cutest on Earth. She had fancied him for about two years now, and every time she saw him, her heart still fluttered. 'Hm……Wait. OH MY DAYS! He saw me being an idiot! Baka Razuberī! Baka! You hear me, baka!' she screamed in her head. Āron looked startled that she saw him looking, and turned away. Razuberī was dragged out of the hall by Emi and they made their way to the field. "Guess what?!" Razuberī shouted. "You've found a cure for the common cold and defied gravity?" Tanoshī asked, sarcastically. "Well, Yes, but that's not it!" Razuberī started. Then she remembered something. When she first told Tanoshī about her 'crush', Tanoshī had practically eaten her head off. She said that she should just give up, not even try. Because they're in the loser crowd, and he was, well, popular. She had hurt Razuberī very bad, but she was her best friend, and so, Razuberī decided not to tell her from then on about her secret crushes. 'I think Tanoshī got the truthful friend part a bit too strong.' She remembered Emi saying. "What? What am I supposed to be guessing?" Tanoshī asked, snapping Razuberī back to life. "Uhmn……I…..Need a pee……" Razuberī lied. Although, this remembering larky did make her a bit desperate. "Lovely to know!" Tanoshī replied.

They changed their course for the girls' bathrooms instead of the field and arrived in a few seconds. "DESPERATE!" Emi screamed before zooming into a cubical and slamming the door shut. The girls laughed a little and as Tanoshī went to check her hair in the mirror Razuberī went into the toilet next to Emi.

Suddenly Emi's hand appeared under the side with a piece of toilet paper. Razuberī grabbed the paper and saw a message on it. It read: I saw Āron looking at you in the hall, that's what you wanted to say, I'm guessing. Don't worry about Tanoshī; I think she's just jealous. Haha, I'm evil >.<" Razuberī laughed inwardly and got out a pen from her pocket before replying with: "Haha, Yeah….But she's our friend, what'cha gonna do?? Apart from eat her, but…..I'm saving that option up….. " She handed it to Emi under the side cubical wall and heard her giggle. "You alright, Emi?" Tanoshī asked from outside her door. "Yeah thanks!" Emi replied, cheerily. The toilet paper note was sent back to Razuberī, saying: "Uhmn….Can I have some more toilet paper? I've kinda run out….." Razuberī smiled and snapped off a load of paper before throwing it under the wall. Emi stuck her hand under and did a thumbs up.

Razuberī left her cubical, washed her hands, and Tanoshī was flicking her hair about in the mirror. "What'd you think? Bangs moved to this side, this side, or normal?" Tanoshī asked, moving her hair around and brushing it. "Um…..To the right. Yeah, that looks good." Razuberī instructed as Tanoshī swung her bangs to the side. Razuberī got out a packet of hair slides and made a quiff with her bangs. When Emi finally came out of the toilet and washed her hands, she saw Razuberī and screamed: "ELVIS!" before giving her the death-hug. "That manly? Really?" Tanoshī asked Emi, her eyes flicking to Razuberī to see if she actually looked manly. "Ehem, well I try my best." Razuberī said in a deep voice while releasing herself from Emi's grip.

The girls laughed and left the toilets. They trudged around the school for a while just chatting about mindless stuff and the bell rang, signalling afternoon registration. They walked to the other end of the building talking and laughing and split up when they got outside their classrooms, saying 'S'later.'

Razuberī walked into her classroom and sat down at her desk near the back of the room. Everyone was sat in the classroom, nattering away, as the teacher took the register. Razuberī couldn't exactly talk to anyone where she was sat, being the only one at the back. She had to shout to anyone she wished to speak to or get up and kneel in front of their desk. But, being the lazy person she was, she stayed in her seat, quietly. Eventually the bell went again and everyone went to their next lessons. 'What've I got now?? Erm…..Spanish!' she thought, looking at her timetable, a scrunched up piece of paper in her bag.

An million 'Hola's' later Spanish was over and Maths had begun. 'Great, maths. At least Āron's there….' Razuberī thought with a blush as she arrived in the last classroom she would have to see for the day and sat down near the front. "Ok, everyone stand up!" the teacher demanded. The teacher started to move people around into new seats, like she did occasionally when people misbehaved. Razuberī stood patiently, with her bag slung over her shoulder, listening for her name. "AkaiFunsui Razuberī." The teacher said, pointing to a seat next to the large window. "Airashī Āron." the teacher said. 'Oh. My. Gosh. Āron's next to me! EEP!' Razuberī thought, frantically. Āron nodded at her and sat next to her. "Alright?" he asked, smiling at her. Razuberī melted. He was talking to her. He was smiling at her. His sweet and gorgeous smile. "Usually when asked a question you should reply" he interrupted her train of thoughts with a wink. "Uh…! Yeah, um, thanks! You?" Razuberī replied, gulping hard. "Yeah, I am now." Āron said, grinning before turning to look at the board which now had work written on it. Razuberī needed to explode. 'OHMIGOSH!! HE'S TALKING TO ME!! HE SMILED AT ME!! HE GRINNED AT ME!! HE WINKED AT ME!!! WAHHHHHHHHHH!' she yelled in her mind.

The final bell rang, disturbing Razuberī from her thoughtful stare at Āron. She slowly turned her lazy head to her book. 'Crap.' She though when she noticed her book was empty. "Ok students, hand your books in and make your way home. Have a nice weekend." The Teacher said, gathering paper and pushing his glasses up his nose. Razuberī panicked and stuffed her book in her bag. 'If Sir sees my book is empty he'll give me a detention!' she thought, standing up. Everyone left the room and as she was at the door the teacher said "Razuberī. I haven't had your book." Razuberī fretted in her mind but walked over to his desk, none the less. He put his hand out for her book. Razuberī sighed and took her book out of her bag. The teacher snatched it from her and flicked through it. "Ms. AkaiFunsui, detention. Now. Fifteen minutes." He exclaimed, pointing to her seat. She nodded slowly, and went back to her seat. Everyone had left and two scrunched up faces appeared in the glass of the door, pulling faces. Razuberī giggled, realizing it was her friends, but soon stopped when the teacher looked up at her. As soon as the teacher went into his little office, Emi pocked her head in the door. "Hurry up!!" she whispered in a somewhat sotto voice. "I've got detention, sorry." Razuberī whispered back, keeping an eye on the office door, in case the teacher came back in. "Razzy!!" Tanoshī complained, peeping her head over Emi's. "Sorry" Razuberī replied, shrugging. "We'll wait for you" Tanoshī said, smiling. "Naww, thanks guys, but if you want you can go home" Razuberī said, not wanting to keep her friends back. "Really? 'Cause we'll wait if you want?" Emi asked. "It's fine!! I'll see you on Monday" Razuberī said, waving. "Bye!!" Emi shouted, forgetting a teacher was next door. The girls legged it just as the teacher came out asking what the noise was.

"Finally, detention's over! Now I can go home!" Razuberī cheered as she walked out of school and to her bus stop. She had to get the bus everywhere. It's not easy living in a village in the middle of nowhere! When she approached her empty bus stop she flung her bag onto the bench. She sat down and swung her legs slowly. A song started to play in her head. 'Da, dum, bah, lala!" She sung in her head. An Elderly woman walked past with her little trolley-like-thing and stared at Razuberī strangely before walking off. 'Wonder what she was staring at?' Razuberī thought in her head, over the song she was also singing in her mind. Then she realised she'd been dancing. Head-dancing. You know, where you bop your head around? Yeah, she had been doing that, totally oblivious to herself. She stopped singing the song in her head and stared at the birds that fluttered around a tree. Tweet….Chirp….Chirpy Chirp…..Tweet Chirp…. They sung beautifully. But then they suddenly flew off, just as it started to rain. It's times like this when Razuberī is thankful the bus stop had a little roof.

Something was strange though…..She couldn't say what it was. But for a second, just a second, the world seemed to slow down. And when I say slowed down, I literally mean it. The cars that would normally speed past at unbelievable speeds seemed to be going at normal speed, the sound of the wildlife was slowed, even Razuberī's heartbeat seemed slower. Then suddenly the rain stopped, and everything returned back to normal speed. "…Huh…?" Razuberī gasped. She moved her hand an inch and noticed something in her palm. She turned her hand over and examined the content. "What….?" Razuberī asked her hands. A small golden egg-shaped pendant rested in her lap. It had small pink markings, such as a heart. "That wasn't there before…." She mumbled, fingering the design. She heard a loud 'Zizz' noise and she saw the bus pull in. She took one last glance at the pendant before putting it in her bag and getting on the bus.

When she arrived home she chucked her bag on the sofa, said hi to her Mom, and went up to her room. She plugged her iPod into its docking station and music blared out. She sat on her bed and looked around her room. It was rather big, actually. But all her possessions made it look smaller. She had a small built in wardrobe full of outfits, shoes, hats and anything else you could possibly think of to wear. She had a tower of drawers next to her door, full of underwear, bras and socks and on top was her make-up. She had LOADS of make-up. Her Mom is always telling her to get rid of some because wearing too much make-up can damage your skin, not that Razuberī thought she had nice skin. She had a few freckles and her skin was uber-thick, so she wore make-up to cover it all up. She had a smaller set of drawers which contained a few random items next to her bed, and a small and old T.V sat on it. She had an extra mattress propped up against the wall for when her friends would sleep over, and wash baskets full of odd socks and bags were lumbered on her pink fuzzy rug. Her room was kind of messy, really. She had allsorts everywhere. Her bedroom walls were designed so one was pale pink, the next white, and the carpet was cream. Not that you could actually see the carpet for all the mess.

Razuberī shrugged and turned onto her knees so she could see out of her window. Grey skies with the occasional crack of light. She looked down into her garden where a cat scampered up to a small hutch. It started to scratch the wood. Razuberī opened her window and shouted at the cat "Oi. Leave my guinea-pigs alone!" The cat looked up, startled, and ran away. Razuberī glared after the cat before closing her window and going up to her wardrobe. "What should I wear……Hmm……" she said aloud, scanning through her clothes. She eventually decided to wear black leggings and a baggy pale pink jumper. Simply, yet somehow classy.

Razuberī rustled through her jewellery for her silver necklace but then she remembered something. "That pendant…." She mumbled before skipping off down her stairs and into the front room, where her Mom was sat. Razuberī went up to her bag and rummaged through it. She felt something warm and hard on her fingertip and pulled it out. "Found it!" she shouted. "Found what?" her Mom asked, curious. "What's that in your hand?" her Mom added. "Erm…It's…a present! Yeah, a present from Emi…Because I…Helped her…" Razuberī lied. "Let me see it" her Mom asked. Razuberī hesitated but gave it to her Mom. "Well that's very pretty." She said before handing it back to Razuberī. "Um…Thanks…Bye!" Razuberī said, running out of the room and back up the stairs. She looked in the mirror on the hallway wall and tried to think what it could be. "Maybe it's a piece of jewellery or something?" She thought, holding it to her finger. "Well it's too big to be a ring….A necklace, perhaps?" she said, holding it between her collar-bones. "Hm…" Razuberī mumbled. She grabbed a piece of white ribbon from her Mom's craft box and tied it tightly around her neck, threading the pendant on. "That looks alright…" she said before going back into her room. She found her black zippy ankle boots and sunk her feet into them and brushed herself down once before turning her music off. She picked up a small shoulder bag and slung it over her arm. She put her phone in her pocket and went back downstairs. "Mom, I'm going out!" she shouted. "With friends?" her Mom asked back. "No, Mom, with terrorists. Bye!" she replied before walking out of the house and over the front garden.

Truth be told, she didn't know where she was going. Just out. Somewhere…different, maybe? Razuberī walked around her village for a while and decided to go shopping for a while. It wasn't a long bud journey, not really. So she went to the Mall and went into some shops. She exited the Mall with over five bags full of clothes and unnecessary items and wandered over to a small park. Children were playing, Lovers were eating each other's faces off, and squirrels were happily climbing trees. Razuberī saw an empty bench and went to sit down. She put her bags beside her and looked around. The sun had managed to come out and the clouds were beginning to disappear. But of course the good moment wouldn't last. A loud band was heard and a nearby tree collapsed to the ground. People started to shout and scream and run away. 'The hell is going on?!' Razuberī thought. But then the ground started to shake. "An earthquake!" some man screamed, running. Razuberī stood up and the ground started to crack. She was a goner. For sure. The cracks in the ground had a red light peeking out and got brighter. Razuberī felt her consciousness slip and she fainted, falling to the ground in a heap…

Razuberī was floating in a strange red abyss, covered in some sort of sparkly stuff. But the only thing that was alarming to her at that moment, was the fact she was naked. "Eep!" she yelped as a cloud of dusty glitter covered her body parts up. "W-where am I?" she wondered aloud. She wasn't expecting an answer, but she heard one. Well, not an answer exactly. A horse neighed. Razuberī jerked her head around, looking for the supposed horse. Nothing. But then, in the distance, a small white light danced about. As it got closer, Razuberī could make out a horse shape. But there was something weird about it. It had a horn! "Could it be….a Unicorn?" Razuberī's voice echoed. The white unicorn stopped in its tracks and stared at Razuberī. Razuberī gasped. It was the most gorgeous creature she had ever seen. Its mane and tail were a beautiful creamy color and its eyes were an amazing shade of pink. Razuberī slowly reached out her hand to pet it on the nose, and the Unicorn lowered its head. It felt so real…For a dream. "This is a dream, right?" Razuberī whispered. The unicorn lifted his head and seemed to be examining Razuberī. Then suddenly it flashed, reared and ran at her. "No…!" Razuberī shouted, afraid to get killed. Even though this was a dream. 'Wait…If this is a dream, I can't actually die, right? So…What's the worst that could happen?' she thought, opening up a bit. The Unicorn charged at her. Razuberī flinched, expecting pain, but none came. She looked down to her body where the Unicorn charged. "It's……Gone!?" she exclaimed. But then a warm and drowsy feeling flooded her body. She closed her eyes and everything felt light. Her hair started to fly around her head and her arms flew outwards. Then the feeling started to fade…

"Urg…" Razuberī slowly opened her eyes and lifted her head. She was in a forest of some sort, propped up against a tree. "I…I thought I fell in the…Park? The Unicorn!" Razuberī said, feeling her stomach and chest for anything. She looked up to the sky and wondered what had just happened. "I must have hit my head and collapsed…" she concluded. So she was staring at the sky, wondering where she was, oblivious to the fact the pendant around her neck started to glow. As she looked forward into the distance, it stopped glowing. Razuberī started to walk in the direction she hoped was home as the orangey colored sun descended, trying to forget today's events…

Far away at Café Mew Mew Ryou and Keiichiro smiled. "First pendant, activated." Ryou stated……
