Alien Logic

1. Plan A: Make a Plan

I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew… but hey, I can compensate by writing down my own twisted spin-off! MUAHAHAHAHA…. coughs… if you're still reading this, get to the fic! Seriously, who reads disclaimers or author's notes anymore?!... except for you I guess…

"Sigh…"

"… … … … … …"

"SIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH…"

"… … … … … …"

"SIIIIIIIIIIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH…"

"Will you cut that out?"

An annoyed Pai looked up from his computer to cast an icy glare at Kish, who was floating around in the air doing – what else? – sighing. Not thinking Pai heard his distress, he figured he'd say his actions aloud. Pai may have been mad, but on a positive note he was paying attention to him now.

Actually, he was staring lividly at him.

Perfect.

"I'm so sorry to have interrupted your work, Pai," Kish apologized, though he didn't really sound like he cared that much about Pai's work either way. It didn't pertain to him anyway, so what else could he expect? "It's just that… oh never mind. You're doing the best you can…"

Pai's eye twitched. He didn't like hearing that he was doing the best he could. That sounded almost like an insult. He didn't like hearing insults – especially for reasons he was unfamiliar with. "In regards to what?"

Another sigh, Pai did his best to keep from killing the green haired alien. "It's just that you told me four days ago we'd be somewhere today is all… yet here we are, not there."

He blinked innocently at Pai, who just stared back with disinterest. "Oh, right, Earth."

Ever since they returned to their planet, Pai got full custody over the ship (why, no one knows…) and figured he could best help society by exploring the universe for a way to better their planet while conducting his own experiments on board during trips. Not having much to go back to – and feeling more like a family than any of them ever had – Tart and Kish traveled with him.

But being stuck on a ship with two other guys could be annoying after a while, no matter how good of terms you were on. The planets were also lame… either the inhabitants were strange or the planet itself made you want to bang your head against something until you forgot you stepped off the ship. There wasn't that much action, either. The most adventure they got was teleporting around. Well, Pai seemed to think of an adventure included studying all the new crud he got samples on, but he isn't normal…

Well, none of the three aliens are normal by any means, but he was just stranger.

He was also the only of the three to not have any strings attached to a girl on Earth. That's what he told his friends, anyway. They believed it, seeing how he was walking ice cube.

Thus the trip to Earth was more a hindrance to his studies than anything else.

Kish got him to agree they would stop by, but the look he was giving him now made him think he had a change of heart. Well, in Pai's case, he just changed his mind.

You need a heart to change it.

"Well? Are we going to be there soon…?"

Pai was the one sighing this time. "I don't know if that's the best idea. We'll end up staying there longer than I would like knowing you."

Kish's eyes narrowed. His bright, sun gold eyes were dimming with a hidden anger. "You told me you would stop."

Pai didn't want to, but the look Kish was giving him was… well, to put it bluntly, he felt guilty for his white lie. How could he be so stupid as to think Kish would forget? Especially with the Mew leader involved.

Yes, even Pai could tell Kish still had a severe infatuation with her, even after all this time. Kish's eyes would become flooded with images no one else could see and he would just get lost in… her. Tart would as well, but since he was in denial he would shake his head and make his thoughts extremely obvious and run off to his room to repeat this process in silence.

What kind of lovelorn freaks was he stuck with?

"Fine."

Kish's furrowed eye brows popped up and he studied Pai's face. "Fine… you mean…" his face lit up. "You're taking us there? Really?"

He gave Kish a firm, strict nod. "Yes. I'll drop you off on my way to the next galaxy. You'll have about ten days to take care of whatever business you need. Who knows – maybe I'll get more work done without you and Taruto darting around."

A smiled warmed up Kish's face and burst into a full out beam at the complete realization of what Pai had told him. 'I'll get to see Ichigo again!'

"Oh, Pai, I take it back – you DO have a heart!" Kish joyfully exclaimed before he teleported to who-knows-where.

Pai blinked. "When did he say… I didn't have… a heart?" He shrugged and officially tore his attention away from his work, teleporting to change the coordinates.

"HEY, TART!"

Dark ocher eyes, which had been pasted to his meal, roved up to see Kish floating merrily in front of him. He brought his lids half way down.

"What is it, Kish?" he asked. He hadn't seen him this happy in a while and was almost too afraid to ask why.

"We're going to go to Earth for TWO WEEKS! Isn't that grand? I'll finally get my Koneko-chan!"

Tart felt something yank at his insides and suppressed the urge to punch his chest until it went away. "Err… Earth, you say? You mean you're still hooked on that old hag?"

"She isn't an old hag and of course I am," Kish huffed.

Right, stupid question… he only talked about her half the time. Tart felt his face get warm and put an effort into diverting attention away from a pink stain that was starting to build up on his cheeks. "Hey, Kish, how do you plan on going about that?"

Kish titled his head. "What do you mean?"

"Well, the old hag is probably – what – twenty? Doesn't that mean she's in some college place? How will you know where to find her?" Kish felt his face pale. "And what if she's still with the other guy? Or a different guy?" Kish felt himself sail to the floor. "And what if she got married and had his children?" Kish was now on the floor. "Or if she still really hates you or is ordered to kill you because you're technically still enemies?" Kish was now sinking even lower to the ground. "Or if she's dead?" Kish was now sprawled out on the floor. "Or if sh-"

"GOD DAMMIT TART YOU JUST HAD TO BE A PESSAMIST! WE HAVE PAI FOR THAT YA KNOW!"

He teleported out in a rage, leaving Tart the way he had left Pai. Tart looked into his meal and felt suddenly very overwhelmed with grief.

"What if all those things happened… with the monkey?"

Hope you all liked! Please review so I can the nice warm fuzzy feeling and return the favor by – gasp – UPDATING! throws confetti Oh, by the way, I haven't seen the Tokyo Mew Mew A'la Mode. My friend told me Ichigo wasn't the lead Mew and I got this unexplainable sudden hatred for this Berry person – the same feeling you get for someone who's mean to your best friend, only a thousand times worse since Ichigo has super powers. So anyone who saw it and is expecting the enemy in this, sorry!
