A/N: Here's my other story. This just sort of popped in my head. I'm trying my best to upload my other story so please be patient and R&R!

Disclamer: I don't own MMP or Twilight!

"Zoey. You're going to be late."

Said twin-tailed, red-haired girl ran down the stairs quickly as she could without tripping. "On my way, Mom." And with that, Zoey Hanson took off running towards her school. It had been two years since her life as a Mew Mew girl. Of course she was still working at the café, but the excitement of dealing with Predasites and stalking aliens was replaced by the constant slinging of orders and drinks.

And of course, the girls still stuck together like glue. Corina was still the same snobbish and lazy person at the café, but she would help ever now and then when things got out of hand. Bridget came out of her shy and timid shell. Her first step stopping the Beckies at her school from making her their gopher and mental punching bag, but she was still the kind, smart, and sweet, gentle self. Zoey thought that she had little crushing going with their former alien-turned-ally Sardon, though they left off with not saying a word. "I mean, there has to be a reason why he went against Deep Blue's final attack to protect the girls," Zoey said with a small laugh.

Anyway, Little Kiki was still her usual hyper, helpful, perky self. Her father had recently came back from his training from the mountains, so now she could go to school and keep her job at the café without her subtle yet constant worry of her siblings and financial problems. Of course, Kiki missed Tarb, another enemy alien-turned-ally. It was no question that the little blushing alien had some feelings towards the hyper monkey mew. Finally there was Renée. She still work at the café with her usual calm and cool demeanor that Corina absolutely loved, but every now and then, she would go to her modeling job somewhere in the world. If Zoey remembered right, she had even a couple roles in some of the latest popular movies. "If she keeps getting popular, she's going to have to carry a couple of bodyguards with her soon," she sighed.

As Zoey came up to the school building, she couldn't help but stop and stare at an all-too-familiar building. This was the place where she met one of the most irritating, pervasive, yet brave, and kinda caring alien she ever met. Dren. After his death experience at the hands of his former alien leader, Deep Blue, and saving her in process, she had come to care from him very much. Funny thing was that now he was gone (still alive, thank god) with his comrades, she was missing him even more. Every now and then, she would hear his "And how's my pretty kitty today?" in the wind. Letting out a slight sigh, she checked her cell phone for the time. "Oh no. I'm going to be late!" And with that, she took off for the school with the speed of her cat genes.

Coming up towards the school gate, Zoey spotted Mimi and Megan waiting for her. "Hurry up Zoey! We're going to be late!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" she yelled back. Running with all her might, she grabbed her friends' wrists and ran towards the building just as the first bell went off.

"Table Five needs napkins and their cake order."

"Kiki. Can you get that couple's order?"

"All right ladies and gentleman! Kiki The Great will now juggle two pieces of chocolate cake and two sodas while balancing on her performance ball!"

"Corina! Get off your lazy butt and help! We're getting swamped!"

"Zoey, you're so childish. I AM working. Somebody has to make sure the tea is up to standard."

"UGGGHHH!"

The café after school was the busy time out of the day. Everybody was doing their usual routine as customers piled in. Wesley was in the back making the next orders, Renee was at the cashier taking people's payment. Corina was sitting at her usual spot, sampling the teas as she would like to say. Bridget was being less clumsy and shy about the orders, Kiki was taking orders while she rolled around on her huge ball and Zoey was running back and forth with pastries and drinks. Elliot was downstairs at the moment, checking out the monitors for any unsual active.

Final, the end of the day rolled around and the girls finished cleaning up the café. "Hey Bridget, Kiki. You guys wanna walk home together again? It's getting kind of cold out there and I want some company." Zoey asked.

"Sure Zoey," Bridget answered, putting on her warm coat while she took out her braids out from her back. At least she started to wear contacts so that way her glasses wouldn't get in the way. "Just let me grab my purse."

"I would love to." Kiki chirped in happily. She began bouncing up and down as she started talking, "There's a new hot cake stand on the way that I wanna try." With that, the trio made their way towards the door. "Goodnight, everybody!" they called.

The three girls came up with this little walk after their final battle. Since all three lived in the same direction, they would walk together from the café to the crosswalk where everybody would go their ways. Bridget let out a soft yawn, stretching her arms towards the sky, "I can't wait for the holidays. I hope we get snow."

"I totally agree," Kiki joined in. "The holidays are always busy with people in the park so my business for the arts skyrockets."

Zoey couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, especially since we won't have to worry about any Predasites or aliens taking over the world." They all laughed. It couldn't be helped. Whenever Christmas would roll around, they would always remember that battle in front of the huge Christmas tree that had hid the Blue Aqua. "Besides, it's not like we…have…any…special…dates," she trailed off, her last word coming out as a whisper.

Bridget looked over at the red-head with concern, "Zoey, you feeling okay?"

"Need any medicine?" Kiki said innocently.

Zoey shook her head and replied discontentedly, "It's okay guys. Just something running through my head. That's all."

They both look at each other then back at Zoey, "It's Mark, isn't it?"

Zoey shook her head again, but this time, it seemed like slow response. "No. I mean…we were together on that date and we were crazy about each other, but I just made realize how awful I was towards another person's feeling the whole time we were fighting." It was true. Mark and her were crazy with love for each other, but it didn't last. About a couple of months after the battle with Deep Blue, Mark had been offered an abroad study for the environment and they had to break up. But the break up had something more to it.

Flashback

They were at the petting zoo that reopened after the lion predasite attack and they were now in front of the baby animals' cage. Zoey was content at the moment, though there was still the lingering nudge at the back of her mind that she had to tell Mark that she wanted to break-up. Mark pulled Zoey off to the side so they could sit under a tree shade. Mark noticed the forlorn look on her face and asked, "Hey Zoey. Is something the matter?"

Zoey snapped out of her daze as she heard the question. "Yeah, Mark. I'm fine." She got and tried to a couple of karate moves, showing her preppy side again. "Why wouldn't I be fine? I pumped and rearing to go. One. Two. One. Two."

Mark got up as well and reached for her hand. "Zoey. We need to talk." Zoey's expression immediately changed as he explained. The school had offered him an abroad study to travel the world to find more solutions to the environment and that it would be hard to have a long distance relationship. "I think that it's best that we stop are dating here." He waited her response but only met silence as her head hang a little low. "Zoey?"

Her face came back with little sad smile of her own. "Mark, I need to tell you something too." She explained how in the past months that even though she had a really wonderful time with him and she loved how he was always sweet and loving towards her, but it didn't stop the feelings for Dren from growing. "I wanted to talk to today about how we should stop dating and stay as friends, but you kind off beat me towards that line," she let out a soft chuckle and at that Mark couldn't help but return her smile.

He hugged her softly as he spoke, "I know you Zoey. I know that your heart belongs to someone else, even though you were denying it when he stalked and teased you. I mean, the guy gave his life to protect you." He reached towards her forehead and tucked a soft red hair strand behind her ear and kissed her forehead. "I'm just glad that I had your love for a while."

They decided to leave off as friends as Mark walked Zoey home.

End of flashback

That day, Zoey held a light heart and feelings towards Mark and now he was somewhere in South America, studying how the forest is more than a home. She just wished that she had a chance to talk to Dren and tell him her feelings. She sighed, looking up into space, "I hope that wherever those guys, their planet is stable and safe now."

Bridget sighed as well, she and Kiki looking up as well, "Yeah. Let's make it a Christmas wish that they are safe and sound."

"Yeah," Kiki jumped in, "Who knows? Maybe they'll come back."

Zoey laughed at the sudden idea, "Yeah, and maybe they'll bring another alien race out to get us and take over the world," she joked, capturing the little blond in soft headlock. Kiki squeaked and squirmed as she tried to get out of the move "Bridget! Help!" Bridget couldn't help but laugh at the two. As the trio went back on their walk, neither did they notice three sets of eyes following after the girls' movement.

First chapter done. Sorry if there were any OOC's in this but this is my first MMP fanfic. Hopefully I'll get my next chapter up for this story and my other fic. So please R&R!

Zoey: Yeah. Maybe I'll get some action soon!

Me: GAH! (Jumps up and hits the ceiling with my head) OWww! Where'd the heck you come from?

Zoey: From the story silly. (Pats my head softly)

Me: (Hangs head low)Oh boy. This is going to be awhile.

Zoey: (Grabs my laptop and looks on webpage) Cool! You write about Atlantis too? (Looks at me with kitty eyes and tail and ears are out)

Me: Please R&R!
