Chapter 1:

"There he is, Ichigo, go ask him!" Said a blond haired girl nodding over at a boy standing on the sidewalk.

"No! I can't! What if he says no?" Replied a red head with pigtails

"You'll never know until you try." Said another girl with short brown hair.

"Yeah! And the rumors about him are nice! He is the most adored boy in school—by the girls anyway."

"But what—"

"I'm sure he won't be like the other boys you dated."

"Go on!"

"Yeah!"

The two girls pushed the red haired girl across the street. She stumbled a little, then walked over to the boy with dark hair. He was wearing a kendo uniform and holding a kendo mask.

"I'm Momoiya Ichigo. I'm 12 and in seventh grade. I've dated a lot of jerks who have all let me let me down. I'm still searching for my love though. I won't give up!"

"Good morning Aoyama-kun."

"Eh? Ah! Good morning, Momoiya-san."

"Uh-huh…well, I was wondering if you are free Sunday."

"Ummmm…yeah I am."

"I was kind of hoping that you would….I was wondering if you would like to go to that new animal exibit with me."

"Sure. I'll go with you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll meet you at the station at 9:00 a.m.! see ya there!" And with that he ran off.

There was a pause as Ichigo just stood there then…"YOSH!" she jumped up and the blond girl Moe and the brunette Miwa joined her dancing around at her success in getting a date.

Ighigo woke up late and rushed to the station.

"Geez! I'm supposed to be the good one! How can I mess up on a first date by just being late!?"

She stopped to look into a window that showed her reflection. "I guess I look ok…" she posed and winked. "Great!" she smiled at her refection.

She turned to the station and saw Aoyama. "There he is…watching that girl go by?!"

"HEY!! Aoyama-kun!" she ran up to him. "What was that just now?"

"What was what?"

"I saw you! You were looking at that girl… Are you even listening!?"

He watched as two more girls walked by. "Hey! I'm you're date remember?!" she crossed her arms. "But I guess not. Just forget it the date is o—"

"Are you coming or not? The train is going to leave soon without us." Aoyama cut her off.

She followed him onto the train, but she didn't know why.

"I 'm sorry" she heard him say, her back facing him. "I should be paying attention to you shouldn't I." he bowed. "Please give me another chance and accept my apology. I will do better from now on."

Ichigo turned around. So polite. She thought to herself. "Alright. I'll give you another chance."

The train soon reached there destination. They went to the exhibit and enjoyed everything, from looking at irimote wildcats to taking pictures together. But no one noticed the golden cat camera watching Ichigo and her date.

Soon the day was over and the two went to the park.

"Great day huh?" Ichigo streched.

"Yeah. This means that…." He trailed off.

What? He couldn't want to kiss me on the first date?! I don't even know him that well! she thought to herself.

"NO!" she put her hands up to sheild her face.

"…that we have to do our best to protect endangered animals."

Ichigo fell over. "Oh. Okay should we go now?" she took two steps and tripped over a tree log. Aoyama caught her and leaned in so close that Ichigo panicked and made herself fall out of his arms.

"Are you ok?" Aoyama asked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She sat rubbing her rear.

"Ok" he saw a girl walk by a vending machine. "I'm gonna go get us some drinks." And he was off.

Ichigo rolled over in her spot on the ground. "That was weird." She got up and looked over at a pink café. "Awe how cute!!" she started spazing out and running in circles, completely unaware of what was happening to her. Suddenly she was surrounded by green. A cat stood in front of her. "That's an irimote wild cat, like the one I saw at the exhibit." She said. It came closer, so she picked it up and…it went into her?

"Ah!" Ichigo sat up from the grass right next to Aoyama. "Agh!" Wait!"She turned to see him sitting next to her with a can of unopenned juice in his hand. His jacket covered her body like a blanket.

"What happened?" she said as she gave him back his jacket and he handed her the juice.

"You fell asleep." Aoyama replied.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"You looked comfy. Don't worry it was only three hours."

"THREE HOURS!? Oh my! I…uh…" No wonder it looks late…

"Com'on we should be going now."

"Yeah."

"YOU FELL ASLEEP?!" Miwa exclaimed the next morning at school.

"What kind of person falls asleep on their first date?" Moe put her hands on her hips. "You should go apologize properly."

"You're right." Ichigo said as she switched her shoes in her locker. "But it is not like he doesn't have a fault either. He was looking at other girls before and after we checked out the exhibit."

"What a jerk! I think you should drop it here and now, so you don't get hurt." Miwa advised.

"You guys are the ones who told me to ask him out in the first place. You said that there were good rumors about him." Ichigo said. "He said he would do better from now on and he apologized, but he still did it again. I saw him flirting with a girl when he went to get us drinks. I think I'll just go apologize for falling asleep, then drop it."

"Ok do that, but if you do give him another chance, don't get too attached, alright? " Moe cautioned.

"Alright. OH RIGHT! He is probably in the gym now! I have to get there before all the girls crowd up!" Ichigo said while running away.

Miwa and Moe followed.

"Awe, we're too late. We're at the back of the crowd." Ichigo whined. "Oh well." She felt for her pocket. "Oh yeah, I still have these don't I? how did they get in this pocket? It would be bad if other girls saw them."

"Hey, Ichigo, what's that?" Moe pointed to the pictures of Ichigo and Aoyama in Ichigo's hand.

"Ah! What's what?" she holds it up in the air out of Moe's reach and backs up. Then the wind blows it out of her hand. "Ah! Hey! No!" she jumped up and down to catch it and turning around she finally did— on the rail on the balcony.

"Ah! Aaahhh!" she screamed as she fell then flipped in the air landing on her feet. "Huh?"

"Ichigo! Are you okay?" Miwa and Moe asked concerned. "That was amazing! How did you do that?"

Ding dong, dong ding Dong ding, ding dong –the bell rang for class.

On throughout the day strange things have been happening to Ichigo. She napped through class, had an unusual craving for fish, could tell the weather, and was now saying "~nya" at the end of every sentence. "What is wrong with me?" she thought as she walked through the park. "Even to Aoyama-kun when we apologized to each other. "Why did I run away? That was dumb! Maybe I'll find the answer here." She stopped in front of that pink café building she saw the day before. "This is where my problems started anyway." Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Aoyama. "Did he come looking for me? It would be sweet if he weren't staring at that girl below the bridge the whole time! What is he obsessed with women?! Jerk! I guess I had better go see what he wants." He didn't see her, so she followed him. When she finally caught up to him, he was on the ground and unconscious. Ichigo ran to towards the boy and knelt at his side. "Aoyama-kun! What happened to you? Wake up! Hold on!" While Ichigo was worring, she didn't notice the huge rat-monster creeping around in the mist. When she finally did, it's tail would have hit her if it weren't for this boy with blonde hair who rescued her.

"Who are you?" they landed in a tree.

"Now is not the time for questions." He jumped to another tree. "Fight that."

"Me? How am I going to fight that?"

"Don't you want to save your boyfriend?"

"He is NOT my boyfriend!! But he is human…"

"Then save him"

"But how?"

"Use this." The blonde boy pointed to what a fuzzy pink floating robot spit out. Ichigo picked it up. It was a gold, chainless pendant with a pink heart on it. She looked at the monster then at Aoyama, then at the pendant, then back at Aoyama. The monster roared and lunged at Aoyama and Ichigo panicked and transformed. She was now dressed in a pink fluffy dress, dark pink boots and gloves, a bell and bow on a tail, cat ears, and the pendant on a choker band around her neck.

"What is with these clothes!?" she stood curiously wagging her cat tail and flicking her ears.

"Fight him!"

"How?!" she felt the words come from inside her. "STRAWBERRY BELL!" she called.

She used it as a shield from the monster's attack. Then she dodged and ran up to the café and jumped onto the railing of the balcony. "I will not let you hurt Aoyama-kun!" Even if he is a jerk!

She held out her weapon to the monster. "With this heart I will protect the earth and the love in girl's hearts everywhere~NYA!"

"A speech is uncalled for." The blonde called.

"Uh, right!" Ichigo listened to the words she felt she heard inside of her. "RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!!" she launched her attack and separated an alien jellyfish-like probe-thingy from a rat.

"Kaishu!" The pink robot collected or ATE the probe.

"That's all it was?" Ichigo landed on the ground. "A rat? What was that thing anyway? Explain youself!"

Inside the café, Ichigo remembered what had happened after the fight. The blonde was identified as Shirogane Ryou and the man with long brunette hair who came out shortly afterward, was called Akasaka Keiichiro. Aoyama was sent home safely, and now she was given a CUTE waitress uniform and forced to work "undercover" in the café as a waitress and look for her four other companions for this apparent "Mew Project," and fight off ALIENS! "And I have this mark on my thigh! Shirogane said that it will disappear when this is all over. And who knows when that will be! He is so rude! Is it weren't for the gentleman-like kindness of Akasaka-san then I would have never agreed to this! But unfourtunately…" Ichigo went throught the doors of the kitchen to the café room to serve the next table. "…I did."
