Alien

The redheaded teenage girl hummed happily as she skipped down the street, temporarily forgetting the heavy bags in her arms. She really hated it when Shirogane made her go buy groceries, but she did enjoy getting a break from the more annoying aspects of her job. Cafe Mew Mew was doing extremely well, as always, and Momomiya Ichigo did not enjoy trying to single-handedly serve a cafe full of customers. Sure, Pudding and Lettuce tried to help, but they really just made more work. And on top of all that hard work, she still had to—

Suddenly a little pink ball of fluff detached itself from Ichigo's just-as-pink cell phone—destroying its disguise as a charm—and grew to full size. Masha began flapping his little dark-pink wings, chirping urgently, "Ichigo, Ichigo! Alien!"

The leader of the Mew Mews sighed. Again? But then, come to think of it. . . He hasn't been attacking recently, she mused. How long has it been, three days? That's gotta be a first.

She glanced at Masha and started running, dropping the groceries. (Shirogane would be furious, but taking care of the Chimera Animals was more important than maintaining customer satisfaction—and it was easier, too.)

A certain green-haired alien ducked behind a tree and cursed. She'd almost caught him. Damn that pink furball. After nearly three days of remaining undetected as he stalked the object of his inexplicable obsession, it had to happen. He'd been caught.

No, not quite yet. She didn't actually see me. . . the game's not up yet, he reflected.

But now he had to go to all the trouble of creating a Chimera Animal, because that's what she would expect.

And he hated to disappoint her.

"Ready or not, Koneko-chan, here I come," muttered Ikisatashi Kisshu as he teleported elsewhere.
