Aaah! Here he is! Masaya finally shows up! So… do I own Tokyo Mew Mew?

A shriek was heard from below. "Hmm…" said Rae thoughtfully, peering down at the hole. "It doesn't sound like they're taking it too well." Tart started to panic.

"Take what too well? What are you doing to him? When will I get my Kisshie back??" sobbed Tart, finally breaking under all of the mental stress. Rae and Peachie raised an eyebrow.

"Kisshie?" they asked, incredulous. Tart ignored them and continued to cry, muttering something about Kish being a cross between a teddy bear and a punching bag. Pai put his hands on his hips and glared at the girls.

"Do you have any idea what you've just done?" he demanded. "Now it will take ages for him to calm down!" The girls stared as Pai picked up Tart and opened the door to the left of him. Pai then tossed Tart into the empty room, much like one would throw a softball. Tart fell, bounced on the three-foot-thick, blue mattress that was the floor, sprang twenty feet in the air, and fell back down. Pai closed the door before they could see anything else.

"Oo-ee! Where'd that dang door come from?" asked Peachie. "What?" she exclaimed as everyone turned to stare at her. Peachie was now wearing a large cowboy hat and was dressed like a ranch hand. "I felt like a mite of change, that's all! I was getting bored with all that cute fairy stuff, you know?"

Sweatdropping, Rae shook her head. "I don't know that creature! Now! On to the Pit of Doom!"

"There's no dang way that's the Pit of Doom! The aliens just escaped from that tarnation!"

"Well, what else can I call it?" demanded Rae, glaring at Peachie.

"How about the Room of Terror?" put in Retasu.

"I like it!" exclaimed Rae, hugging Retasu.

"Wah!" Retasu cried out as they toppled over… and fell down an escalator that led into the dark hole on the ground, which could or could not be real. They landed with a soft thwump at the bottom. Looking up, they saw Pai and Peachie leaning over the hole to peer down at them.

"Come on down!" called Rae. "We made it in one piece! Mostly," she added under her breath. Retasu looked at her in alarm. She just smiled. "Hey Retasuuuuu!"

"What?"

"I'm bored!" whined Rae. "Peachie and Pai are taking to long!"

"That's because we're taking the moving-staircase like normal folks!" shouted Peachie. Rae and Pai both raised an eyebrow.

"I don't want to know what her definition of "normal" is!"

"Oh really, Pai? Because I thought you loved definitions! Just a thought!" she added quickly as Pai glared at her.

"Umm," said Retasu timidly. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but how can we see each other if there is no light?" Everyone froze as there was a terrifying cackle of evil laughter. A flashlight flicked on, throwing Rae's face into relief. Retasu and Pai screamed as Peachie and Rae laughed.

"Ha! Fooled you guys!" Rae slapped Peachie a high-five. Grinning, Peachie turned off the flashlight. Pai and Retasu blinked. There were Rae and Peachie, and again there was no light.

"Umm…" remarked Pai, not at all quite sure what he was going to say.

"Want to see something even creepier?" asked Rae, bouncing up and down in her excitement.

"Not really," muttered Retasu, but Rae ignored her. Grinning evilly, she turned Pai around so that he was standing under a wooden door in the ceiling-type-thing.

"Was this - " he started, then shook his head.

"Nope!" Rae exclaimed happily. "Look!" With a flourish, she threw open the door. Pai blinked. There was Tart above them, still bouncing and screaming for his Kisshie.

"What the - !"

"Pai!" scolded Rae. "Be careful with what you're going to say! Little kids could hear you!" Peachie rolled her eyes. "Now look down." Pai obeyed, looking through another hole, this time in the "floor", which had not been there a minute ago. He froze. Retasu looked down as well, and her jaw dropped. There was Tart, but they were seeing the top of him. He seemed to be flying towards them with each bounce. Pai stared for about another minute, then hurriedly looked at the hole above their heads. There was Tart again!

Click! "Priceless!" Rae grinned wickedly, waving her camera in the air. "Hey, Peachie! Would you put this in the drawer labeled "Blackmail", please?" Peachie bowed mockingly.

"It would be my pleasure!" With a wild whoop, she disappeared. Rae and Retasu sweatdropped.

"Ehehe! How are you doing Pai?" called Rae, trying to chance the subject. Pai did not answer, alternating his glance between looking up at the Tart above them, and looking down at the Tart who… was still above them, but was also below them. It gave Retasu a headache just thinking about it.

"It could be that it's an illusion with mirrors…" he muttered, almost hopefully. Reaching out a hand, he nearly fell on top of Tart.

"No mirrors, then?" asked Retasu.

"Nope!" exclaimed Rae, giggling. "Come on! Let's go!"

"But," said Retasu, worried. "Is it okay if we just leave Pai like that?" Pai was muttering technical jargon to himself, opening and closing the two doors methodically. Rae nodded.

"He'll come to his senses soon and realize that what he's seeing is real. I bet you he'll faint!" Retasu still looked worried, but allowed herself to be pulled after Rae through yet another door. There was a light coming from everywhere that hurt Retasu's eyes, so she had to squeeze them shut. She heard the door close behind her with a soft click. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and gaped at what she saw. The only word she could think to describe it was… pink.

"And don't forget bubbly!" shouted Rae.

"Eep!" Retasu jumped, causing Rae to burst out laughing.

"You should have seen your face! It was hysterical!!"

"Umm… do I even want to know how you can read my mind?"

"Yes, because I can't," Rae said bluntly, still grinning. Retasu blinked again. "I've just gotten that same reaction before to all the pink!" And pink it was. It was as if someone had taken a bubble bath with pink bubbles, and let the tub overflow, filling the entire space they were in. Some of the stuff was clustered where walls would be if they were in a normal room, and some of it was even floating by like clouds. The remainder was just spread out everywhere, creating a marsh of pink that reached about knee height. Retasu squinted, were those… hearts? She walked over to one, revolving slowly a few feet away, and touched it. It felt solid. Retasu turned around to ask Rae about it, but cried out in alarm. The wooden door they had walked through was disappearing.

"What?" asked Rae, looking down at Retasu, lying on her stomach on one of the pink clouds and propping her elbows on a heart.

"T-the door! It's being eaten by the pink!"

Rae flipped onto her back with her head and shoulders hanging off of the cloud, remarking mildly, "Hey look, you're right!" Retasu started freaking out.

"What are we going to do? How are we going to get out of here? How – eek!" Gravity had taken a hold of Rae, and she came crashing down onto poor Retasu.

Rae grinned cheekily, pulling Retasu to her feet and saying, "Let's follow that trail we blaze!"

"What trail we blaze?"

Stopping for a moment, Rae looked around, and then pointed in front of them, saying triumphantly, "That trail we blaze!" Sure enough, there was a slight path going through the pink and around the corner that was definitely not there a minute ago. Retasu shrugged; she was getting used to it by now.

The two girls walked forward, careful not to leave the path. As the rounded the corner they heard a scream. Exchanging a brief glance, they charged forward, Retasu carrying her Lettuce Tanets and Rae carrying a battering ram. They heard another scream, coming from a closed door with light spilling out from under its edge at the end of the pathway. In the end, the battering ram proved more effective. Retasu had a head start on Rae, but was going too fast to stop. She ran into the very solid door, and fell to the floor. Rae was also going to fast to stop, but just crashed through the door. Retasu shielded her eyes as light blinded her for a second time.

"What the - ?" she began, never finishing her thought. She stepped inside the room, and the door and pathway that she had just gone through disappeared. Rae bounced up to her, grinning.

"I told you this was their worst nightmare!"

"I guess… you were right," Retasu said slowly, staring in shock at what she was seeing. The pink made up the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room, but was not floating around the same way as it was in the "hallway". All of the pink was still bubbly, except for the floor, which was a darker pink and looked flat like a normal floor. There were also no clouds or hearts floating about. In the center of the room were two wooden chairs, looking so ordinary that they seemed out of place, except for the fact that they were bolted into the floor. Kish was tied to one chair while the fan-girl was tied to the other. Both of them were screaming at the huge flat screen TV on the wall opposite them. The TV was showing a video of Ichigo and Masaya going on a date together.

"Hey, Ichigo! Do you want to go to the beach with me for lunch?"

"No! Ichigo! Don't do it! You don't really love him!!"

"Sure, Masaya! Sounds like fun! I'll be ready in a minute!"

"Masaya! How could you!! She's not good enough for you!"

"Umm… why don't you guys just close your eyes?" suggested Retasu, wincing as Kish screamed loudly at the TV.

"They can't," answered Rae, "'cause their eyes are taped open. See?"

"But then why were they screaming before if Ichigo and Masaya are just starting to go on their date?"

Rae laughed. "That's not the only date I have filmed on that video! I have a whole year's supply of footage!" Retasu sweatdropped.

"Don't you think that's a little… harsh?"

"Nope! It's actually really amusing. Watch." She sat down, opened the top of her battering ram, and pulled out a bag of popcorn. "You want some?" Retasu sighed in defeat and sat down.

"Sure." They sat together in silence eating their popcorn, content for now to let Kish and the fan-girl provide the commentary.

"Oo! Thanks for the ice cream, Masaya! You're so thoughtful!" On the screen, Masaya laughed as Ichigo snuggled into the crook of his arm on their beach-towel. Kish rocked against his chair, trying in vain to free himself.

"Think nothing of it, my princess." Masaya kissed the top of Ichigo's head. The fan-girl let out a little cry.

"Why? Why her? She's nothing, Masaya, nothing! Don't give her a pet name! Masaya, no!!"

"She's my koneko-chan, tree-hugger! Get your filthy paws off her!"

"What did you call Masaya?!" demanded the fan-girl, turning to confront Kish. If her feet were not already tied to the chair legs, she would have kicked him. However, she was distracted by what happened next on the screen. Ichigo and Masaya were playing in the ocean, when Ichigo slipped. Masaya caught her in his arms, and Ichigo blushed, smiling up at him.

"Are you alright?"

"I think so."

"No, Masaya! You should've let her drown!"

"Stupid tree-hugger! Why'd you take her to such a dangerous place!"

Rae laughed, calling, "Kish, slipping on a rock does not make a place dangerous!"

"I don't care! He has no right! None!"

"Don't carry her like a bride! That should be me, Masaya! Drop her! Drop her!!"

"Drop her?! Are you insane? No one can treat my koneko-chan like that!" The two alternated between bickering with each other and yelling at the TV until the end of the date.

"I had a lot of fun, Masaya. Thanks."

"Me too, I'm glad you enjoyed it." Masaya and Ichigo were standing on Ichigo's front porch. Slowly, Masaya, and the camera shot, leaned in.

"No, no, no, no, nonononono!" cried the fan-girl and Kish. Their protest turned to a scream as Ichigo and Masaya kissed. The Energizer bunny appeared in-between them, and covered each of their mouths with a furry paw, muffling the noise.

"Thank you," murmured Rae, massaging her temples, "That was getting annoying!" The Energizer bunny wiggled its ears, happy it had done something to please Rae.

"Where did - What are we going to do now?" asked Retasu, deciding it was better not to ask where things came from in this… place halfway through her question. She looked expectantly at Rae, licking the butter from her fingers.

"Ah - !" started Rae, then stopped. "That's a good question. What are we going to do next?" The room shook as there was a might crash. An evil smile slowly grew on Rae's face. "I forgot! There's that! C'mon, Retasu! Let's go!" Jumping to her feet, Rae grabbed Retasu by the wrist, and pulled her across the room to a door that had just materialized. Retasu glanced one last time over her shoulder, seeing another date starting on the TV.

"O-okay," she said tentitively.

"Don't worry! I promise, it would never hurt you. Maybe. Sometimes. Atleast not much!" Rae said, trying to be reassuring. Retasu groaned and hit herself on the forehead.

"That's not helping!"

"Well, what is?"

"I don't – NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The Energizer bunny had crept behind the two and pushed them into the door, which was not solid, much to Retasu's surprize. The last thing she could see before she was in total darkness was Rae, grinning and mouthing the words, "Trust me, it'll be fun!"

So ends chapter five of Kish Story. If you have any ideas for what is behind the door, please take a guess! Reviews are lovely things… Anyways, sorry this chapter took so long, but it was longer than usual (lamest excuse in the universe!). I hope you thought it was funny!
