Mew Mew Power Part 8

Mew Mew Power Part 8- The fifth Mew??



I could feel the sand in between my fingers. The waves brushed gently against my toes. It felt wonderful. I seemed to be on an island. I got up and looked round. I could see Corina, Zoey and Bridget. I walked over to them. “Hey guys!” I said cheerfully. “Elizabeth, this is a dream. We never came here on our own.” Bridget replied. I knew it was too good to be true. I could see two figures lingering in the background. “Who are they?” I asked the girls, pointing at the two people. They shrugged their shoulders. I walked over to them. One of them walked back and disappeared into the shadows. I looked at the girls. They weren’t lying on their backs anymore. They were clinging on to each other, looking at me worriedly. I pulled the person out of the shadows. She was about as tall as my hip. She had blonde hair and cute little plaits at the back of her head. She had an orange shirt with orange knee-length shorts. I’d never seen this girl before but somehow knew her name. She looked up at me. “You’re Elizabeth, right?” she said. She knew my name too. The sun was setting, and the sky was streamed with beautiful summery colours. “Yes, and you’re Kiki.” She nodded at me. She walked backwards and disappeared. I looked at the girls and they disappeared too. Everything was turning black. I couldn’t see anything anymore...

I woke up gasping for air. I checked the clock 8am. One hour until work. I know that you forget your dreams as soon as you awake, and only remember glimpses. But how comes I could remember every last detail about my dream? This was definitely something to talk to Elliot about. We have begun talking again. I don’t know if that’s because we haven’t had any new Mew members or if my birthday is only two weeks away! I got out of bed and had a long bath. Work only started at 10. I got changed and went off to work. The girls all arrived at the same time. “We’re gonna open about 15 minutes late, Elizabeth. We need to talk to Elliot about something.” Bridget said. I nodded, and then went to the changing rooms. I went walked across the hallway to where Elliot and Wesley usually hang out. Before we could even begin to say something they started on us. “Elizabeth go buy some fruit for the smoothies.” Wesley said. He pressed the money and the list into my hand and sent me away. Great. I had something super important to say! I bought the fruit from the list and looked at the park. Not the one where Cafe Mew Mew was, but a different one. It was unusually warm so I decided to use the day to my advantage. I sat down on the bench beside the fountain. I saw a group of people surrounding something. I could hear laughing and guessed that it was a street performer. I sat back on the bench and closed my eyes. I could sense someone in front of me. Thinking it was Dren I opened my eyes. That was when I saw her, the girl from my dreams, from the island. I jumped up. “It’s you!” I shouted. She looked at me, her eyes filled with innocence. “You’re from my dreams. You’re Elizabeth.” She whispered gently. I could feel myself floating away. We had the same dream! But if Kiki was in MY dream then surely the others were in my dream too? I grabbed onto Kiki and said “Come with me.”

I held her hand all the way back to the Cafe. Well that’s my lovely sunny day ruined. I pushed open the door to the Cafe, and the regulars were just sitting there doing their normal routine. I smiled at them. As soon as the girls saw Kiki and me they dropped everything they were holding. Trays filled with desserts and drinks landed on the floor with a CRASH! Kiki gasped beside me. I don’t know if she gasped because of the noise or if she recognised the girls. Hearing the noise Elliot and Wesley came out. “Elizabeth, come with us. Leave HER to Bridget.” Elliot said. I slowly unhooked my hand from Kiki’s and followed Elliot and Wesley. “Corina, Zoey clean this stuff up.” I said indicating the floor. I went into the backroom and sat down. Elliot began to explain. “The island you girls were on could possibly be an island where only the Mews can meet. So that means wherever you girls are, even if you’re on opposite sides of the planet you’ll still have a communication.”
“That’s so cool!” I said. We could talk whenever we wanted too, and all we had to do was sleep! Nothing could be easier! “However, the dreams will stop when all the Mews are united. Meaning when you find the sixth Mew you will stop having these dreams. Instead you will form a new transformation. We don’t know what it will look like, but what we do know is that you girls will have a power over something. It could be something like water, fire or even the sun! So if you want an amazing 16th birthday I’d say get the sixth Mew and party!” Wesley said. I laughed at him and got up. New transformations? I can’t wait!

I did some cleaning, round the shop and laughed as Kiki was pestering Corina. “Uhh get off you little brat! Leave me alone! Why are you even here? Go HOME!!” Corina yelled at the girl. I was laughing right up until the moment she had told Kiki to go home. Kiki slid off Corina’s lap and landed on the floor with a thump. She got up and walked to the door. I half expected her to slam the door. She shut it as quietly as possible. That was when I realised something. Elliot said that only Mews could be on the island! Kiki was a Mew! Then I realised something else. “Corina, you idiot! Kiki was a street performer! Do you know why street performers are street performers? Because they have no place to live and they need money! You were horrible to the poor thing! She doesn’t even have a home to go to!” I yelled at her. I could see the hurt in Corina’s eyes. She looked like she wanted to take it back. But I couldn’t leave it there. “You think you’re little Miss Perfect Princess! Sitting there, not doing any work sipping your tea. Well maybe we’re tired of it, Corina! You just made us lose the fourth Mew! Yes, Corina she was a Mew! I saw her on the island! Only Mews can meet on the island! You made her poor thing turn away! Do you know what you are Corina? YOU ARE A BULLY!” I screamed. The hurt in Corina’s eyes disappeared, there was just anger left. I always take things too far. “Ladies, let’s try to keep things civil.” Elliot said. I walked out of the Cafe.

“Hey, Kiki! Wanna hang out?” I asked to her. She was sitting on the pavement beside the park. The crowd had died down by the time she’d got back here. I deprived her of her earnings. I sat down beside her. I pulled out my purse and took out £20. I handed it to her. “I don’t want to take your pity money.” She said, turning her head. “Try not to think of it as pity money. I liked your performance so I’m giving you cash.” I said trying to persuade her. She shook her head. “It’s the last time I’m offering!” I said waving it around her face. She grabbed it and hugged me. I stood up, lifting her with me. “Come on, I know a great place for lunch,” I said. I checked my watch, “Or tea.” The sun had already begun to set by the time we had walked to the Restaurant. Then again the sun sets really early in winter. It was only 4:30. I sat her down to a Chinese meal. She seemed to really enjoy it. At first she wouldn’t really eat anything, but when I willed her to, she ate her heart out. “Ok, Kiki. What do you want for dessert?” I asked her handing her the menu. “I want the chocolate ice cream! With sprinkles!” she said, smiling gleefully. I looked at the waitress. “You heard the little lady! Make it two though!” I said smiling. I didn’t want to seem like a rude pig. She placed the bowls in front of us and messed up Kiki’s hair ever so slightly. Kiki gobbled up her dessert and waited whilst I finished my last bite. The waitress handed us our bill. I put the money inside and stood up, holding out my hand to Kiki. It was 6pm, by the time we left the place. I didn’t want to make Kiki uncomfortable by letting her show me that she lived on the streets, but I didn’t want to leave her all alone either. I walked all the way to the park with her. I went and sat on the fountain edge. She sat on the opposite side. I couldn’t see her because the fountain was quite big but I didn’t mind. I let the wind sweep my hair off my face. I could hear laughing. I could hear groaning. Kiki was the one who was groaning so who was laughing? I turned my head in time to see Dren, floating above Kiki sucking her soul. I jumped up and ran over and kicked Dren in the stomach. “What do you think you’re doing?” I said. He laughed at me and said “Whaddya think? I’m snatching a few good souls!” he began to snatch her soul. I tried to kick him again, but he flew out of reach. Her soul was taken out of her. How can that even be possible? “Mini Mew? She’s a Mew. How’d he take her soul?” I asked him. “Her soul not taken. Only half of it was taken. She still has it inside of her.” I couldn’t get enough of Mini Mew’s cute little voice. I went over to Kiki and bent down. “Come on, Kiki! You can do it. Just summon all the strength inside you.” I said to her. I looked at how the predasite had turned out. It was some Samba dancing kind of thing. It flicked one of its fan things at me and Kiki. I really need the Mews right now. As if on cue, Corina’s Arrow shot through the air throwing the fan off course. I picked Kiki up in my arms and jumped up onto one of the trees. I let the Mews take care of the rest. Except they weren’t taking care of anything. They were being destroyed! Kiki opened her eyes. “Nobody hurts MY friends.” She said. She looked at me, as if to ask for permission. I let her stand on her own two feet. I nodded at her. She jumped from the tree and stood in front of the girls. I’d probably just had the worst idea in the world. Samba girl was throwing her power at Kiki at full speed. I jumped down from the tree and ran forward. Samba girl got there before me. I closed my eyes, waiting to hear Kiki’s screams as she was thrown into the air. When nothing happened I opened my eyes again. There was a huge boulder in front of the girls. I ran to them. “How’d that boulder get there?” Corina asked. I sighed impatiently. “Mew instincts Corina? Yours must be low on battery. So must your brain. KIKI IS A MEW!” I shouted. But I smiled to show her that I was only kidding. I held out my hand and Mini Mew dropped the Power Pendant into my palm. I held it out to Kiki. “Kiki you’re a Mew. Like them. You can transform into a superhero, like this lousy lot. That’s why I saw you in my dream and that’s why it was so easy for you to hang out with me and not be scared that I was a stranger. Now trust me and kiss this pendant. Don’t be difficult like the others and just do as I say.” I handed it to her and almost immediately Kiki kissed it. “Power Pendant Activate!” I shouted. Kiki transformed into this beautiful orange costume with a tail and monkey ears. “She’s the Golden Tamarin Lion Monkey!” I said gleefully. “Time to get the other half of my soul back!” she said laughing. I’ve got to admit that, that sounded a bit dumb, but it’s good to know that she’s going to take care of it all. “Let’s start monkeying!” she said making monkey noises. “Golden Tambourine Trench!” she yelled. Her attack was a direct hit and pulverised the predasite. The attack had taken the last of the leftover energy from her. Mini Mew flew over to eat the infuser and he retrieved the half soul too. Dren was looking agitated. “That’ll teach you, to mess with us Mews!” I yelled at him, laughing. “Just one more, Dren. Then we’ll be unbeatable! Not that we aren’t already!” I cried. I screamed his anguish, then disappeared. The 5 of us embraced. I hugged Corina separately afterwards. “Soz about earlier.” I whispered and she hugged me harder. I went home after that, feeling good about myself. I checked my phone, knowing there’d be a message from Elliot. ‘Guess that birthday present is gonna be amazing. Just one more. Delay if you want, just not too much! Elliotx’
