**Chapter 12: Nuts for Mew Mew**

In the deep void of outer space, a spaceship that looked like a crossbow was hovering over the earth.

Pepper apparel. He walked up to his Air Pollution expert, "Elthunt John" who had short white hair, glasses, and wore glamourous masculine clothes, "Okay Elthunt" said Poach, "What is the status of our McCart Bug Bots"

"So far sir" Elthunt replied, "Nothing over the past month. We've terrorized many citizens in Kansas City and most of them get stopped by Earth Police, Firefighters, and other normal heroes."

"Normal heroes" Poach replied, "What about those superheroes who keep showing up."

"They had other things to do." Elthunt answered, "You know that Batman couldn't do 400 crimes in one night, he can do 20."

"I need a new challenger" Poach said, "Someone that can take on our monsters."

"Perhaps the Mew Mews" shouted his land expert, Aretha,

Aretha was an overweight alien with a purple beehive and a scary purple dress, "The Mew Mew has handled those Chimera aliens before" she explained, "So maybe we should do the same thing."

"Your right" Poach replied, "Elthunt, sent out a bug immediately."

With a press on one of the keys on his keytar, a McCart bug comes out and starts causing trouble.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile on at the Cyrus K. Holliday boarding school in Kansas City, Earth, former Mew Mew, and modern dance teacher, "Kiki Benjamin" was wrapping up the dance routine of the Olivia Newton-John song, "Physical", "Now this will warm you girls up for the physical exam." she said to the students.

"Oh please" shouted a blond student with fabulous pigtails, "I don't want to sweat really bad."

"Don't bother, Lilith" replied Miss. Benjamin, "You're doing this because you hated gym. When I started working here, I suggested the idea of modern dance classes to Dean Dennis, who wanted to encourage kids who hated gym that exercise is good for you."

"I notice that most of the students who have been taking the class are nerds" Lilith shouted, "Lucky!"

After the bell ring, Miss. Benjamin looked at the articles of Poach McCartnet's crimes and his monsters rampaging the town. \*I just hope the Mew Mew team can stop him.\* Miss. Benjamin thought to herself.

At Wyandotte County Lake Park, a squirrel was minding it's own business by eating some nuts, that's when a McCart bug came and bit the squirrel. The squirrel started transforming into a mutant squirrel.

"Actually" Miss. Benjamin answered, "There is no Animal Caretakers Society, this is actually a cover-up so I can start a new Mew Mew team."

"Mew Mew" Saatvika asked, "As in Mew Mew Power, I've read about those, their superheroes who protect the Earth from the Chimera Animas—alien parasites which infect animals and turn them into monsters."

"Exactly" Miss. Benjamin replied, "And you girls are them. Think about it, have ever encountered a time when you become bonded with an animal.

One by one, the girls recalled the times they infused with animals from their childhood. Ever since then, they've been getting animal-like behaviors.

"For the past three months," Miss. Benjamin explained, "I've been hearing strange rumors of a mysterious Poach McCartnet in Kansas City. So I decided to form a fake Animal Protections club in order to form the new Mew Mew Team. All of you will get the chance of being one, but for now, we let Mew Mew Chocolate, Mew Mew Vanilla, and Mew Mew Sundae start things off."

"Wait a second" Harley said as she adjusted her glasses, "The flashcards, they tell what animals we are."

"Thank you" Miss Benjamin replied, "We're all going to take turns on playing, Superhero. For this task, I'm going to do the members that look like Neopolitan ice cream."

"Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry," asked Saatvika, "Wait a minute, you're going to let Chanel, Vada, and I go first? That's good because there can't be two Mew Mew Strawberries, that's complete confusion."

"That's the point," Miss. Benjamin explained, "For this project, I need you three must go to Wyandotte County Lake Park to "Learn About Squirrels"

"Well I think your a whiny!" Chanel insulted

"Oh really," asked Miss. Benjamin as she pulled her bangs up, revealing Mew Mark of two monkey tails on her forehead.

"I knew it," Saatvika said, "You are Mew Mew Pudding."

"Speaking of pudding" Miss. Pudding replied, "If you find the monster, you get free pudding for lunch tomorrow."

"I love pudding," Vada said, "Let's do it."

"When do we get a turn," Danna asked, "I want to take them down with some Dumpling Dynamite"

"Easy partner" Presley Beth replied, "For now we need to do something so Dean Dennis nor any of the other faculty won't suspect what we're really doing."

"Miss. Benjamin" said Julianna, "Don't y'all have something to cover up the real plans."

"I thought about that" Miss. Benjamin, "I'm going to teach you about an animal and the facts about them."

Everyone smiled, knowing that their secret of the Mew Mew is safe.

**XxoxX**

At Wyandotte County Lake Park, Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika were going around the memorials for the Battle of Westport. Vada couldn't help but notice that Chanel has two tiger stripe marks on the back of her neck, "Chanel," said Vada, "You got something on the back of your neck"

"Don't touch that" Saatvika said as she grabbed Vada by the hand, "It's a Mew Mark, that is a sign that there a Mew Mew Hero."

Then Saatvika realized something if Chanel had a Mew Mew Mark, the others might have one too. Saatvika used her compact mirror to check for any Mew Mew Marks until she found one shaped like Chameleon Eyes on her left cheek. "It's true" Saatvika replied, "I'm getting a Mew Mark too, looks like it takes a while for it to develop after we touched our pendants."

Vada saw something on her right arm that looked like a fox paw print. "I think your right" Vada replied, "I'm starting to get the mark too"

"You guys got a lot to learn about the Mew Mew" Saatvika replied back, "I've read every single issue. The park is where Mew Mew Strawberry encountered the Mew Mew for the first time and then she smells a rat."

"Or maybe a giant squirrel," asked Vada.

In front of them, a mutant squirrel started causing trouble.

"This is it, girls," said Saatvika, "It's Mew Mew Morphin Time"

*Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Vanilla, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Sundae Metamorphosis.*

Mew Mew Chocolate had a brown outfit with tiger features, Mew Mew Vanilla had a white outfit with fox features, and Mew Mew Sundae had an outfit with chameleon features. "So it's true" Mew Mew Vanilla replied, "We get to be actual superheroes. So much for, "A Man's Job"

"Do you have to say, "A Man's Job?" asked Mew Mew Chocolate.

"Oui" replied Mew Mew Vanilla, "I always believed that a girl can save the day sometimes."

From the palms of their hands, Mew Mew Chocolate got a sword with tiger stripes, Mew Mew Vanilla got a flute that looked like a fox's tail, and Sundae got a staff with a strawberry on it. "I know these" Mew Mew Sundae explained, "These are the Mew Mew weapons. Let's call them, The Striped Sword, Freezing Flute, and the Illusion Staff."

All three of them were ready to face the McCart Squirrel.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And with a wave of power, the McCartsquirrel was changed back into a regular squirrel.

Meanwhile, in his spaceship, Poach detected that his McCartsquirrel was destroyed, "Don't worry" said Poach, "We'll get those girls next time."

**XxoxX**

The next day at the school's cafeteria, they spotted a girl Lilith coming in with her posse. Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee. Brielle was an African American girl, Peyton was a red-head with short hair, and Rylee was blonde and they all wore glamorous clothing. There they saw Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika with two cups of pudding, "What's with the pudding cups?" asked Lilith, "Are you trying to gain weight?"

Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika were offended, "No" Vada replied, "This was our reward for our assignment on squirrels for the Animal Caretakers Society."

"Whatever" replied Lilith, "Pudding is so lame"

Lilith, Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee left while gossiping about the ACS.

Meanwhile, Miss. Benjamin found a handsome gym teacher with dreadlocks, "Hey Zander" she blushed as she walked up to him, "Can I sit here."

Zander looked, blushed and said, "Sure, Kiki" he answered as Kiki sat next to him.

Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika spotted them and were amazed, "Is that Miss. Benjamin" asked Saatvika "Flirting with Coach Howland.

A female gym teacher with a short ponytail and 80s workout clothes came up, "Looks like Coach Landon is going to make her physical again" whispered Chanel,

"Hello Cyndi" growled Kiki, "You realize you're disrupting us by glaring at us while we eat."

"Why to bother," Coach Landon asked in a Brooklyn accent, "Zander is mine."

"Cyndi" Coach Howland replied angrily, "You better stop before Dean Dennis comes in, remember the year where Mr. Layton and Miss. Gabriels got fired for faculty dating each other. However, the school board agreed to abolish the rule to keep Dean Dennis from getting fired for panic frequently."

"Your right" Coach Landon replied back, "I don't want to cause a wave of trouble, again."

Coach Landon left to eat her tuna sandwich alone, "So Kiki" said Coach Howland, "Wanna go to the roller rink after school, they're having a world-renowned DJ is coming to shoot a film and he needs some extras to play one of the couples."

"I love that" Miss. Benjamin answered as she took his hand.

Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika were amazed that Miss. Benjamin stood up to the women's gym teacher.

**The End.**

**Chapter 13: I Smell A Rat**

As the students were getting out of math class, Harley took Carla and Danna to the girls' room. When they got in, no one else was there. Harley polished her glasses and saw that she had a mew mark shaped like a bear's head on her forehead. Carla looked in the mirror and saw that she has the mark of a manta ray on her left arm, and Danna removed her jacket to see that she has a Mew Mark shaped like a feather on her back, just like Mew Mew Mint.

"This is a little out of hand," Carla replied. "They're not as worst as tattoos, because I'm not allowed to get tattoos."

Out of the girl's bathroom, they saw a handsome Latino boy with shoulder-length dark brown hair and preppy clothing. "Hola, Rodrigo," said Carla.

"Hola, Hermana," replied Rodrigo. "I was gonna go to my weekly karate classes, tomorrow and I was wondering if you could bring your two friends, Danna and Honey along."

"Really?" asked Carla. "That's great."

Danna and Harley were amazed because they're going to be joined by the older brother of one of their friends. They also remembered that they have a weekend science assignment on rats. "We really need to pass," Danna replied. "My mom is very serious about my grades."

"I thought your mom was a little care-free," asked Carla.

"She is," Danna replied. "But she knew that if I wanna get into the Genius Dancer Program back in Haiti, I must have good grades between C to A."

"That's a relief," Harley replied. "I had a friend who's parents wanted him to have all As they need to lighten up."

"Speaking of lightening up," Carla asked, "How is your tio?"

"You mean my Uncle Allen?" Harley asked. "He's a little stressed out after he saw some trouble in the cafeteria. Someone got the last sour cream and onion potato chips and ended up getting salt and vinegar, which he hates."

"Maybe your uncle should try new chip flavors," Danna suggested. "After eating sour cream and onion chips all the time, he'll get bored of it."

"Okay," replied Harley, "just as long as Uncle Allen remembers to eat something healthy before we go. I don't want him to gain more weight."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, on his spaceship, Poach was going around the place, looking for a new animal victim to help him drain the life out of Earth. A fabulous alien with '80s apparel and sea patterns. It was his sea-expert, Crossni Laupelt.

"So, boss," asked Crossni in a demonic New York accent, "what rat are we going to poach today?"

"A rat, of course," Poach replied. "Tomorrow, we'll find a rat and make him bring those Mew Mews to us."

"You gonna give them physical punishments?" asked Crossni.

"Something like that," Poach replied.

**XxoxX**

The next day at the mall, Harley was escorting an overweight man in a suit. "Okay, Uncle Allen," said Harley. "Snacky Shelter is now serving healthy potato chips. Just get the baked ones and not the fat-free ones, I read online that they contain chemicals."

"You got it, Harley," replied Dean Dennis in an Australian accent, "I've been so worried about my cholesterol lately, I'm afraid I won't go to our spring trip to the amusement park this year."

"Uncle," Harley replied, "you always ride the carousels and ferries wheels nonstop. Plus you ride the kiddie rides."

"Right," recalled Dean Dennis.

**XxoxX**

At Snacky Shelter, Harley came up to Danna and Carla, who were enjoying some healthy candy apples. "Sorry we're late," replied Harley. "Uncle Allen couldn't decide on what to wear, and he had to check if there are any sneezes on them."

Carla and Danna were both worried. "Principal Dennis," asked Danna, "are you sure you're ready for trying out those healthy potato chips?"

"I sure am," replied Dean Dennis. "Now let me go at it."

Carla became confused, saying, "I thought he was called \*Dean\* Dennis."

"Sometimes he goes by Principal Dennis, sometimes Dean Dennis," Danna replied. "People say things differently."

"Like how you say Her Royal Lilithness," Lilith said from behind. She and her posse were coming out of Fabulina's Finewear, an expensive dress shop.

"Hello, Lilith," replied Harley, "Let's all kneel before Queen Lilith."

Carla and Danna laughed at Harley's joke. "This is your last chance to quit, Dennis," Lilith replied. "Your uncle is nothing more than a big coward. All he ever does is make big fusses over minor things like paper cuts and ice machines being out of ice."

"He may be a worrywart," Harley replied, "but he's still my uncle."

"Whatever," replied Lilith. "Let's go to Pied Piper's Pranks."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, in the storage rooms of the mall, a rat was going around the place when a McCart Bug controlled him. "Listen here, rat," Poach said. "Destroy the shopping mall and drain the life from there."

Within three seconds, the rat turned into a monster.

Harley started talking non-stop about the history of karate with her friends when the McCart Rat attacked the mall. It was up to Carla, Danna, and Honey to save the day.

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Mew Mew Cupcake had dark blue clothes and a manta ray tail, Mew Mew Dumpling had orange clothes and cockatoo feathers, and Mew Mew Honey had tan clothes and a bear tail. From their hands were their weapons.

"I think we should name these ourselves," suggested Mew Mew Honey.

"Si," replied Mew Mew Cupcake. "I'll call this the Sprinkle Frisbee."

"And I've got one," Mew Mew Dumpling replied. "Crested Umbrella. What about you, Har?"

"And the Beary Bow," Mew Mew Honey said.

As they were fighting off the rat monster, they accidentally wound up on the stage of "The Happy Lamb Fun Show."

"Who are those extras up there?" asked Dean Dennis from the audience. "She rarely looks like my niece without her glasses."

Mew Mew Honey knew that they had to improvise.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

With one shot from their weapons, the rat monster turned back into a normal rat. Everyone thought it was part of the show, so they cheered.

"Carla!" shouted Rodrigo from a distance. "Donde estas!"

Mew Mew Cupcake knew that Rodrigo would be looking for Carla. As they got off the stage and into an empty girl's room, they changed back to their original forms.

Carla rushed up to her older brother, who was already in his karate ghee. "Hermano," greeted Carla as she hugged her brother. "I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Me too," replied Rodrigo. "I checked in all stores for you, but I never thought you would be near the Happy Lambs' mall show."

"We should go to your classes," Carla said. "Perhaps you could teach me a few things too."

"Wait for me," called Danna. "I could learn some self-defense."

As Carla and Danna took off for Rodrigo's class, Harley came up to her uncle. "Hey, Uncle Allen," Honey said to her uncle. "What did I miss?"

"Nothing," replied Dean Dennis, "except for these three girls with animal costumes came up. One of them looks kind of like you."

Harley nervously adjusted her glasses. "That's theater," she replied. "Where did you go after we took off for a little chat in the food court?"

"I saw some Happy Lambs entertaining the kids and I followed them," Dean Dennis replied, "but the workers caught me leaving without paying for the 5 bags of potato chips. I saved a cheddar and sour cream flavor for you because I knew how much you love that flavor."

"Thanks," replied Harley as she ate a chip. "Just don't ever do that again. My dad is worried about you."

Then they sat back to watch the rest of the Happy Lamb show.

**XxoxX**

Monday came, and Carla, Danna, and Harley all got an A- on their project. The teacher was amazed by what they knew about rats and how they could live in some buildings. Plus, it was a better idea for them to release them in the wild instead of killing them for their safety.

Dean Dennis came in with a weekly room inspection. "I'm glad to see you all learning a few things," he replied. "I would've gone crazy if you guys were slacking off in class."

"That's what we get for having a slacker dean," Lilith insulted as her posse laughed at him.

Dean Dennis was annoyed by the insult. "Lilith," he replied, "I'm afraid that's detention for you."

"Anything but that, Dean Dennis," said Lilith. "I've got some makeovers to do."

"Sorry, Lilith," Dean Dennis replied, "but rules are rules."

After class, Carla, Danna, and Harley ran into Rodrigo again. "Dean Dennis just gave Lilith detention for insulting him," explained Carla.

"That's too bad," Rodrigo said. "I always believed that females were more innocent."

"You think every girl is innocent," replied Carla.

"You girls wanna come over to my dorm after class?" Rodrigo asked. "Me and the boys are going to watch the original 'Kung Fu Child'."

All three of them looked and said, "Yes."

**The End.**

**Chapter 14: Turtle Texture**

Presley Beth was in the Old West Town of Skipsmuck Gulch. She saw the PBnJ bandit robbing the First National Peanut Butter Bank when she squirted him with milk. Then she was rewarded with a year's supply of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. As she was eating one, she heard someone shout, "Presley Beth!"

In reality, she saw her twin sister staring at her. "Have y'all been daydreaming about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches again?" Julianna asked.

"I just can't wait until lunchtime," Presley Beth replied. "It's 10 am and I'm dying to have one."

"We don't pack lunches anymore," Julianna whispered. "We just have to accept cafeteria food. Plus they serve them all the time at the cafe."

Everyone looked at Presley Beth in confusion, then went back to paying attention to the lesson.

**XxoxX**

During lunch, Presley Beth came out of the line with numerous peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on her tray, which made the students laugh at her.

"Don't you get tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Tweedle Nut?" boasted Lilith.

"Tweedle Nut?" Brielle asked. "I thought that was 'Tweedle Grape O'Wrath'."

Presley Beth was annoyed by the insult. "Listen here, varmint," she growled. "There's a difference between me and Julianna. I'm more of the messy type and Julianna's cleaner."

Julianna saw her sister getting into a fit with Lilith. She grabbed her and her lunch before Dean Dennis spotted them.

When they sat down, Julianna looked at her clean right palm and spotted a yin sign with a butterfly, then looked at Presley Beth's left palm and saw a yang sign with a moth on it. "So these here are our Mew Marks," said Julianna. "Looks like something from that mural at our old elementary school."

"Yeah," Presley Beth replied. "The one with the ying-yang." Ms. Benjamin sat down to talk to her.

"Hey there," Kiki said. "Some of the students have been gossiping about Presley Beth craving for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all day long."

"I know," Presley Beth replied. "I can't help it. Whenever I see peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I had to eat it."

"I know someone who can help you," Ms. Benjamin replied. "Come join me after school. I know someone who feels the same way about lack of self-control."

"I do need to control my peanut and jelly cravings," Presley Beth replied. "Okay."

"Can I come too, Ms. Benjamin?" Julianna asked. "I usually accompany her to avoid PBnJ troubles."

"Sure," Ms. Benjamin replied. "The more the merrier."

**XxoxX**

After school in downtown Kansas City, Presley Beth, Julianna, and Ms. Benjamin was going to a small, but cute art shop called Meredith's Masterpiece. Inside the shop were thousands of paintings of Ms. Benjamin dancing, wolves, lorikeet, porpoises, monkeys, and mountain cats.

"Aren't these here the animals from the original Mew Mew team?" asked Julianna. "Saatvika told us about them."

"They are," Ms. Benjamin replied.

In the studio room, they saw a hippie with short curly hair and blue eyes. She was painting a picture of two tamarin lion monkeys juggling bananas. "Mavis Deering?" asked Benjamin as Mavis jumped.

"Sorry," replied Mavis as she placed down her brushes. "I was just finishing my latest painting, 'Juggling Going Bananas'."

"Going bananas," replied Presley Beth. "That's what I always do, unlike my sister here."

Mavis was amazed by the appearance of the twins. "Girls," Ms. Benjamin said. "This is Mavis Deering. She's a local painter. Mavis, these are Presley Beth and Julianna Abbey."

"But the sign says, 'Meredith's Masterpiece, Arts 'n Craft Shop, and Studio'," Julianna corrected.

"I'm sorry," explained Mavis, "but this used to be owned by my mentor, Meredith Rakes, before she retired and moved to Chicago."

"Mavis has also been my best friend ever since I moved here," Kiki explained. "I've was looking for a job when she showed me a job opening at your boarding school. Dean Dennis was getting tired of the students not staying in shape and skipping gym. During my interview, I gave him a suggestion to give them modern dance classes. That way they can stay in shape and avoid skipping gym."

"I remember when I use to skip gym due to my weak body," replied Mavis. "I had to spend a week in detention for that."

Presley Beth wandered off to where she got to a painting of two gay men with horses in the background. "'Gaybow Ranch'," read Presley Beth. "This kind of reminds us of our two dads."

"Two dads?" Mavis asked.

"We were raised by gay dads," explained Presley Beth. "Normally, we call them Papa Willie and Papa Darwin to avoid confusion."

Mavis sighed with relief. "Forgive Mavis," Kiki explained. "She's out of control. Hasn't been the same since her boyfriend left her 13 years ago."

"Don't y'all miss him?" asked Julianna.

"I don't miss my boyfriend," answered Mavis. "I became sort of happier without him."

Ms. Benjamin told Mavis about Presley Beth's uncontrollable cravings for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She suggested that they control it through art therapy. She gave them both a canvas and tell them what came to their mind when it came to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, on his ship, Poach was looking through his old scrapbooks of the GPS. Crossni came in asking why he's reading an old scrapbook. "I was once a sweet kid on my home planet," he explained. "But then they kicked me out of Galactic Protection School after I let out Turtograndes and destroyed the entire school. It was a prank that backfired."

"Don't worry," Crossni said as she patted him. "Perhaps you could control a turtle in revenge for being expelled from that school."

"Good idea," growled Poach. "This will be payback for getting me expelled."

By a park, river was a turtle swimming peacefully. A McCart bug stung him and turned into a turtle monster.

**XxoxX**

Back on Earth, Presley Beth and Julianna were finishing up their paintings on what they think of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Julianna had a bird making jam because birds loved to eat grapes, and Presley Beth had an elephant meeting George Washington Carver. Mavis and Kiki were both impressed by the way Presley Beth controlled herself without licking something related to peanut butter and jelly.

Just then, they heard a crash outside the art studio. Everyone was running away from the McCart Turtle. On top of the turtle monster was Poach, he came down to Earth to terrorize the good citizens. "Who are we going to call?" asked Mavis.

"Nobody here but us bugs, partner," Presley Beth answered.

"We'll handle that terrible turtle," replied Julianna.

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis.*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis*

Mew Mew Peanut Butter had a yellow outfit with moth wings, and Mew Mew Jelly had a magenta outfit with butterfly wings.

"So this here is the Mew Mew outfit," Mew Mew Peanut Butter said. "It suits us."

"I know," replied Mew Mew Jelly. "Papa Willie and Papa Darwin would've loved them, but they can't know we're superheroes."

"Now come on, partner," replied Mew Mew Peanut Butter. "Let's make turtle soup with extra poached eggs."

Poach and the McCart Turtle were destroying a hot dog kart when the Mew Mew Twins showed up. "Ain't y'all ever heard of personal space?!" shouted Mew Mew Peanut Butter.

"You must be Poach McCartnet," Mew Mew Jelly said. "Mew Mew Pudding warned us about you."

Poach McCartnet was about to attack when a bunch of kindergartners came up to him. "Hey, mister!" shouted a kindergartner. "Aren't you going to give us some hot dogs? We're hungry."

Instead of giving them hot dogs, Poach and the McCart Turtle squirted mustard and ketchup on the kids, making them run off in tears.

"That Poach McCartnet does seem to hate little ones," growled Mew Mew Jelly.

"As a hero," Mew Mew Peanut Butter growled, "we are determined to save them good folks here."

From their hands, Mew Mew Peanut Butter summoned a lasso and Mew Mew Jelly summoned a pair of fans.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And just like that, the McCart Turtle turned into dust, with Poach landing into the pile of hot dogs. Mew Mew Peanut Butter and Mew Mew Jelly were both examining the weapons.

"You know, sis," Mew Mew Peanut Butter said, "I should call this here lasso Silky Lasso."

"And I should call my dear little fans Anartia Fans," Julianna replied, "because I always knew that Anartia butterflies looked like strawberry jelly."

"Enough jelly nonsense!" shouted Poach. "I hate the flavor of jelly! I'm out of here!" With one beam, he was back up in his spaceship. "Someone get me some turnosi tea!" he asked loudly.

Back on Earth, Mew Mew Peanut Butter and Mew Mew Jelly changed back into their normal forms when they saw Ms. Benjamin and Mavis applauding for their hard work stopping the monster.

"Y'all know that we're Mew Mews?" asked Julianna.

"They've been a great inspiration for me for my paintings," explained Mavis. "After Meredith left the place to me, I've been having a hard time coming up with new paintings. You cannot imagine how long writer's block can be."

"Wow!" Presley Beth replied. "No wonder you have so many paintings of wolves, lorikeets, porpoises, monkeys, and mountain cats."

"I have a few more secrets," replied Mavis, "but that's for another time."

Presley Beth and Julianna looked at each other in confusion.

**XxoxX**

The next day after dance class, one of the students asked Presley Beth if they wanted to go to a sandwich shop after school. "No thanks," replied Presley Beth. "I'm laying off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a while."

"That is a good decision, Ms. PB Abbey," replied Dean Dennis as he accidentally bumped into a water fountain.

"For a boarding school dean," Presley Beth giggled, "y'all don't have a sense of direction."

"I can be your friend," Dean Dennis said. "I'm friends with everyone except for bullies."

"That's very sweet of you," Julianna replied coming out of the classroom. "Someone else needs to help Presley Beth with her self-control."

"And, ugh-" Dean replied as he gave them a package, "-Ms. Deering from Meredith's Masterpiece wanted to give you two this."

"You know Mavis?" asked Presley Beth.

"After I hired Ms. Benjamin," explained Dean Dennis, "we've been having afterschool art classes there. It helps saves money." He left to get some water.

Presley Beth and Julianna carefully opened up the letter that came with the package.

*Dear Presley Beth and Julianna*

*You two have inspired a really big masterpiece the way you took down that turtle yesterday.*

*I stayed up all night to give both of you two very special paintings.*

*I hope you like them*

*Love, Mavis*

In the package, Presley Beth got a painting of a turtle swimming in peanut butter and Julianna got a painting of a turtle cleaning up jelly jars. "I do declare" replied Julianna, "These are some beautiful paintings that Mavis made. I wonder what else she'll come up with next?"

**The End.**

**Chapter 15: Skunk Dunk**

n the modern dance room, Ms. Benjamin was accompanied by a group of cute alien robots. Each of theme were monkey-like and had the same color scheme as the Mew Mews. One by one, the girls were chatting when they spotted the tiny little monkeys.

"Look at them," cooed Saatvika "They're cute."

"And they smell like chocolate, vanilla, strawberries, apples, blueberry, honey, peanut butter, and grapes," Vada replied as she used her strong smelling.

"These are Mini-Mews," explained Ms. Benjamin. "Elliot gave them to me recently as evil-detectors in case of emergencies."

"Elliot Grant?" recalled Saatvika. "One of your mentors?"

"That's him," answered Ms. Benjamin. "These Mini-Mews are based on each of Earth's monkeys."

A tamarin lion monkey flew up to Chanel, a macaque flew up to Vada, a pygmy marmoset flew to Saatvika, a Mandrill flew up to Carla, a chimpanzee flew up to Danna, a capuchin flew up to Harley, a langur flew up to Presley Beth, and a velvet flew up to Julianna.

"Sometimes you're gonna look at lifestreams," said Saatvika. "Sometimes the Mini-Mews wil detect danger."

"Now that they met you," Ms. Benjamin smiled, "you have to name them. They're brand-new Mini-Mews created by HQ, and they need names."

Thinking quickly, Harley found the perfect names for them. She called the tamarin lion monkey "Taro," the macaque "Sichuan," the pygmy marmoset "Bok Choy," the mandrill "Congee," the chimpanzee "Won Ton," the capuchin "Lotus Leaf," and the langur and velvet monkey "Lo" and "Mein."

"Those are all Chinese food," recalled Chanel.

"I know," Harley replied. "Took a menu from the bulletin board today. There's a restaurant called Chòu Yòu's Custard Bun."

"I know that place," recalled Kiki. "I took cooking lessons there and I'm their number one customer. Plus, they know how to make a good egg custard bun."

Remembering from her monkey books, Danna recalled that they really love bananas and they can be a bit mischievous. "We better keep an eye on them," she recalled. "We'd promised to help out Leighton with her interview for the girls' basketball team. Today is their first game of the year."

"I remember playing b-ball with the boys back in Tennessee," recalled Presley Beth, "and not the ones who teased me for being a girl."

**XxoxX**

Ten minutes later at the gym, Leighton was waiting nervously. She was getting her notepad ready when she spotted the ACS with Ms. Benjamin.

"Girls!" shouted Leighton. "I'm so glad you can make it."

"We would do anything for our friends," replied Chanel.

"And our female sports team," Vada replied. "They say that sports are for boys, but no."

"I got some good news and some bad news," said Leighton.

"Usually," replied Vada, "we would start with the good news first."

"The good news is," Leighton replied, "few of the boys basketball teammates will be here to prep talk the newbies."

"And the bad news," asked Presley Beth.

"You're late!" shouted a nasty voice. "We must have all members for the game!"

"Coach Landon is substitute coach," Leighton answered annoyingly.

"Because of Mrs. Payne being stuck at the airport in Brooklyn," explained Coach Landon, "I will be covering for her. Though I should be watching those prank shows instead of this dump."

"But coach," added a freshman player, "we need an advisor."

"Here's some advice!" shouted Coach Landon. "Mind your own business!"

"Back off, Coach!" shouted one of the basketball players from the boys' team.

Harley looked up at the player who stood up to Coach Landon. He had curly black hair, was quite tall, and wore basketball clothes. Harley couldn't help but look at him and fall in love. Seeing their friend, Julianna and Saatvika could tell that she was in love. Remembering that she needed to be her nerdy self to impress cute boys, Harley decided to do it. "Hey," she said to the cute basketball player. "That's really brave of you to stand up to Coach Landon. Most of the students hate her."

"No problem," replied the cute boy. "I'm Curtis. I'm a member of the boys' basketball team."

"Harley," greeted Harley as she adjusted her glasses.

"Yeah," Curtis replied. "Dean Dennis' niece from Australia. There's something about a girl's natural accent that makes me smile."

"You like girls with foreign accents?" Harley asked him.

The girls' basketball team and the ACS was thrilled because they'd gotten all crazy about Harley and Curtis, while Coach Landon was repulsed, "Shouldn't you be a bikini model to get guys to like you?"

"Coach," groaned Curtis, "Harley doesn't need to be all those things. She's fine the way she is, for an Australian nerd."

Instead of taking it well, Coach Landon left in rage.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Poach, Arethra, and Elthunt were at the outside of Chon You's Custard Bun Chinese restaurant. They were rumaging around the trash cans when they spotted a skunk. Thinking swiftly, Poach got out a McCart Bug and turned it into a McCart Monster.

**XxoxX**

Back at the game, Leighton and the ACS were enjoying themselves before the game when the Mini-Mews started saying, 'Wéixiǎn, wéixiǎn!'. Fortunately, Leighton was listening to Kimberly Kelly music. The ACS didn't know what it meant, but Ms. Benjamin did. "The Mini Mews can detect danger nearby." she explained.

Not wanting to get caught, they hid in the girls locker room and saw the Mini-Mew projection vision. On the projector, they saw patrons running from Chon You's Custard Bun. Thinking of Leighton, Ms. Benjamin suggested that Carla and Danna should go, because they had a really beautiful aquarium and bird paintings.

Carla and Danna agreed to the plan. "But, how are we going to get from Point A to Point B?" asked Danna.

"Girls," Saatvika replied, "I saw this on their anime. They run like ninjas and they jump like kangaroos."

"Perfect," Harley smiled. "While Dumplling, Peanut Butter, and Jelly fly to the location, Chocolate, Vanilla, Sundae, Cupcake, and I will hop to the location."

"Enough small talk," replied Carla. "We got one loco zorrillo to stop."

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

When they arrived, they saw leftover fried rice and mushu on the ground. Very stealthily, Mew Mews Cupcake and Dumpling snuck into the reastaurant and saw McCart Skunk.

"What have we here?" asked Poach. "Tresspassers?"

"You must be Poach McCartnet?" guessed Mew Mew Cupcake. "Ms. Benjamin warned us about you."

"That's right," answered Poach. "And these are Elthunt and Aretha, two of my three cohorts."

"We specialize in making Earth animals into our alien monsters," explained Arethra.

"Let's make it drafty," Elthunt shouted as he got out his keytar and sent food flying.

Using their gymnastics skills, they avoided the flying food, including some sweet and sour pork,

"Stop!" shouted Mew Mew Cupcake. "I'm allergic to pork!"

But they didn't listen. Instead, Elthunt played his keytar in an alien tone.

"How are we going to stop that piano man?" asked Dumpling.

Seeing a bowl of tomatoes, Mew Mew Cupcake got an idea. "You know how skunks don't like tomatoes?" she asked.

"Yeah," replied Mew Mew Danna. "Outdoor experts say to bathe in tomato juice to get rid of the smell, so maybe we can give skunk a tomato meal."

Using her crested umbrella, Mew Mew Dumpling sent the tomato bowl towards the McCart Skunk. The tomatoes landed on his eyes and started going around like crazy. "You thinking what i'm thinking?" she Mew Mew Dumpling.

"Oh, si," replied Mew Mew Cupcake.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Just like that, McCart Skunk turned back into a normal skunk and ran off. Not wanting to get caught by the owners, Mew Mews Cupcake and Dumpling took off while Poach, Elthunt, and Aretha teleported off.

The owner of the shop came in while drinking some tea. He saw the pigsty and spat out the tea."The nerve of people, he groaned.

**XxoxX**

Later at the game, the CKH girls basketball team were against the Jenskins High girls' team. Quickly, a freshman made the goal and CKH won the game. Now, Carla and Danna were arriving on time to see CKH's victory. This left them wondering: how did they get the courage to continue? Curtis explained to them that Coach Howland became the substitute after Coach Landon left to watch her Australian soap operas.

Walking towards the team, Carla and Danna could see Coach Howland congratulating the team for doing their best. Seeing Leighton coming up, Carla and Danna decided to help her with their interview.

Over the next ten minutes, Leighton, Carla, and Danna interview the basketball team and their substitute coach. When Leighton asked what makes a good team, Coach Howland answered, "What is more imporant than winning is doing your best and being a friend. That's what encouraged the girls to compete."

**XxoxX**

The next day, the ACS was joining Ms. Benjamin for a Chinese lunch from Chon You's restaurant. "Thanks for getting us Chinese take out for lunch, Ms. Benjamin," Danna said to her. "I can't believe that the Mew Mew organization fixes damage before anyone suspects."

"Yeah," replied Saatvika. "And Ms. Benjamin told me that the agents erased the owner's memory of the damage."

"If you think damaging a Chinese restaurant is crazy," replied Carla, "you should try these egg custard bunds. Their teeth-rottening."

"I know how to make a good egg custard bun," Miss Benjamin smiled. "I don't like green onion pancakes, but regular pancakes are much better, especially with maple syrup."

By the door, the Mini-Mews detected Curtis coming by. Quick as a rabbit, they hid in Carla's bag. Curtis came in and saw the ACS having Chinese takeout. "Ms. Benjamin decided to give us Chinese takeout for lunch for our hard work this past month."

"Nothing can go wrong with Kiki Bu Ling Benjamin," replied Ms. Benjamin.

"That's cool," replied Curtis as he sat next do Harley. "Har, I was wondering if you and I wanna go to the roller rink after school."

"I don't have much studying to do," Harley answered, "Okay!"

Hearing this, Curtis smiled.

**The End.**

**Note: Bu-Ling Huang was Kiki's Tokyo Mew Mew name.**

**Chapter 16: Rabbit Raising Candy**

During Mrs. Georgeson's class, she was handing out fliers to the students abou the annual candy sale. "This year," she continued, "I'll be the supervisor for the contest. Whoever wins gets to go to the annual Thudpaw Hoedown at Wyandotte County Lake Park."

Thinking back, Vada could remember her father throwing hoedowns at their family's soup shop. Her sisters on the other hand, rather paint their nails than participate in the hoedowns. Willing to keep the tradition alive, Vada decided to sell candy.

**XxoxX**

During lunch, the ACS were going around on which street they should sell the candy too. "Danna, Chanel, Presley Beth and I got on Main Street and on Penny Lane," Harley explained, "while Vada, Julianna, Saatvika and Carla got Gale Road and Garland Avenue."

"Now what candy are we going to sell?" Julianna asked. "Because Presley Beth could get her grummy little hands on the peanut butter logs."

"Not only are we selling Peanut Logs," explained Harley, "but we're also selling Marsha Mallow's Snowbars, Scrumpdiddlyumptious Bars, and Sugar Rush Bars."

"Sugar Rush Bars?" Vada asked. "They're very popular in Thailand."

"They're also a hit in Haiti," replied Danna, "and the perfect snack when pet-sitting."

"Chocolate isn't good for animals," reminded Vada angrily.

"I know," Danna replied angrily. "But I can eat a Sugar Rush Bar while the doggies do their you know what. I heard that the Thudpaw Hoedown throws the biggest gigs."

Believing that Danna was going to book a gig at the hoedown, Vada grabbed her tray and walked off, much to most of the ACS' confusion. At another table, Coach Landon looked at the girls and smiled wickedly.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile on their ship, Poach watch the entire arguement between Vada and Danna. "So," Poach smiled, "the singing bird and the cooking fox are in a fit. This is the perfect chance to unleash another McCart Bug." He got out a McCart Bug and made it fly down to Earth.

At Wyandotte County Lake Park, preperations were on their way for the Thudpaw Hoedown. A rabbit was going along and was sniffing around the place when a McCart Bug bit her. Within a few seconds, she turned into McCart Rabbit and started terrorizing the patrons.

**XxoxX**

Later at a grocery store on Penny Lane, Chanel, Danna, Chanel, Presley Beth and Harley were selling candy to patrons. After Danna sold a box of candy towards a family, Chan did a finger wave towards Danna. Danna blushed.

"So, Dan," said Presley Beth, "Is Vada still mad at you?"

"Pres," scolded Harley.

"I am," Danna replied. "She accused me of being a hoedown hooligan. No offense."

"None taken," Presley Beth replied, "Julianna and I have arguements all the time over filth and clean, but sibling rivalry is natural."

"Have you ever had arguments with your stepbrother and sister?" asked Harley.

"I have with Bradley and Lexie," replied Danna. "But it was short and minor. Nobody wants to get Cinderella Syndrome."

"That's the term where someone gets a horrible stepparent who never cares about them?" asked Harley. "A divorced mime instructor developed a crush on my dad and her kids were afraid that this might happen."

"Was this during the time of your mother's disappearance?" asked Chanel.

"It was," Harley answered. "Fortunately, Dad refused to date her because of private reasons."

"Never got over your mom?" asked Danna.

Instead of saying yes, she nodded her head.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile by a Scoutapalooza shop on Garland Avenue, Vada, Saatvika, Carla, and Julianna were selling candy when they spotted a bunch of Friendly Scouts barging up and bought some candy.

"I've seen Friendly Scouts sell cookies before," recalled Julianna, "but this takes the cake."

From their backpack, the Mini-Mews whispered, "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn! (Danger! Danger!)"

Vada decided to stay behind and sell the candy while they handled the danger.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

Later, they caught up with Mew Mews Chocolate, Honey, and Peanut Butter by Wyandotte County Lake Park.

"Where's Dumpling?" asked Mew Mew Jelly, "She's going to miss out on rocking the troubles away."

"She's staying behind to sell the candy," explained Mew Mew Chocolate. "And for Vanilla?"

"Same thing," replied Mew Mew Sundae. "Now where's the monster?"

"Let's say she's hopping around!" shouted Crossni. "I'm Crossni Laupnet, Poachy's Sea Expert!"

"Oh, yeah," recalled Mew Mew Cupcake. "The chica who looks like a rejected Madonna video extra."

Crossni was so mad at them, she tossed pink blobs at them, causing them to get stuck.

**XxoxX**

Back at the Scoutapalooza shop, Danna came up to check on Vada. Unfortunately, Vada turned her back on Danna. She had a feeling that Vada was still mad at her about the whole hoedown prize.

"Why are you wanting to go to the hoedown so bad?" Danna asked.

"Because," Vada answered, "my father was always been fond of hoedowns. He cooked, square dance-called, and played fiddle at them. Back in Thailand, we both performed together for entertainment. A year ago, he was suppose to go to America for a popular hoedown, but then a fire broke out by a fish market."

"Talk about some cooked cod," replied Danna.

"In our village," explained Vada, "everyone has to help out, and by that I mean \*everyone\*."

This reminded Danna of one of her songs, whenever something burns up trouble. She got out her phone, placed a wireless earbud in Vada's ear and played her song, "Heartbeat Memories."

*Time after time, the heartbeat rings*

*Money changes everything*

*So hear me in the memories that sing*

The lyrics were so touching that Vada decided to stop being mad at Danna and that they should do their best on the selling contest. Before they could do that, Sichuan and Won Ton shouted "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn! (Danger! Danger!)" from their backpacks. This can only mean that there was trouble. Vada stated, "Let's handle the distant cousin of the hare."

*Mew Mew Vanilla, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

By the time got to the park, they started fighting off McCart Rabbit. Using their Freezing Flute and Crested Umbrella, Vanilla and Dumpling used as much power as they can. As soon as McCart Rabbit knocked Mew Mew Vanilla towards her friends, she realized something. "This isn't just any pink gunk," she said. "This is cotton candy."

Taking a bite, Chanel said, "You're right."

Quickly, the Mew Mews ate their way through the trap and were ready to help Mew Mew Dumpling. Mew Mew Honey remembered performing for a sheep farm that was in debt and did a routine where she made sheep jump over a hoop. Even though she helped, she fell asleep during her act. The Mini-Mews decided to do the thing for her. So they flew up to Mew Mew Dumpling, bounced over her umbrella, and it made McCart Rabbit fall asleep.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Quickly, McCart Rabbit turned back into a regular rabbit.

**XxoxX**

A few days later, everyone was gathering around the auditorium to see who won the contest. Mrs. Georgeson came up with an envelope. She was very proud of all the students helping with the candy selling and reminded them that no matter what, their all winners at heart. "And the winners of the fundraiser and trip to the Thudpaw Howdown are..." she announced as she opened and read the letter, "...Danna Coste and Vada Kesley!"

Danna and Vada were surprised that they were tied. Instead of a tie-breaker, they decided to go to the hoedown.

"As a bonus," continued Mrs. Georgeson, "you get to bring as many as six friends."

Clearly, the two young girls picked their ACS friends to go the hoedown.

**XxoxX**

That evening at Thudpaw Hoedown, everyone around the hoedown was having a good time, with Presley Beth and Julianna doing some square dancing.

"Okay now!" shouted the announcer. "Due to a last minute cancellation of the main act because of a banana allergy, this strange monkey I met at Meredith's Masterpiece is going to come up and do a strange square dance call - 'Squaring The Monkeys'."

Knowing the monkey-themed behavior, they knew he was talking about Ms. Benjamin. "Howdy and ni hao, folks!" she shouted as she dressed like a monkey cowgirl. When the music started playing, she came up and started calling.

*Swing your arms up and down*

*Say goodbye to cavity frown*

*Do si do with your monkey tails*

*It's the only way to a wacky bail*

*Allemande bounce and allemande jump*

*Move your little primate hump*

Everyone at the hoedown was confused by Ms. Benjamin's square dancing, but the ACS joined in because she was their teacher.

**The End**

**Chapter 17: Frogged Up Embarassment**

It was a quiet day in Chanel's drama class. They were learning how to get into character. For her assignment, she decided to get into the character that showed the real her, Black Swan, from the 2010 movie of the same name. Remembering from the movie, both her and Nina were both dark and neat.

**XxoxX**

After class, her teacher gave her permission to go to the school's costume department to prepare for her assignment on getting into character. Unfortunately, she found the wrong tutu. The tutu was pink, which was a goth's least favorite color.

Little did she know was that Lilith, Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee were secretly taking pictures of her clothing mix up. They snuck out of the department so they wouldn't get caught.

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later, Chanel was getting books from her locker when Leighton was coming in with a worried look. When Leighton showed Chanel the school blog, she saw pics of her wearing a pink tutu, which made her totally embarrassed.

"Hey, Black Swan!" Lilith shouted. "Looks like your a pink swan now!"

"You're a disgrace to the goth name!" shouted a goth.

"But it was an accident," Chanel admitted. "Also, I prefer to sew black patterns onto my clothes and dye some fine clothing black. To suit my dark nature."

Unfortunately, the only one who believed that the whole thing was an accident was Leighton. "I'm going to have le déjeuner in my chambre," Chanel said to Leighton. "I'm not in the mood to go to the cafeteria."

**XxoxX**

In the cafeteria, Leighton was going around looking for Vada and Saatvika. She found them at the end of the cafeteria with the other ACS girls, "I just got a letter from my cousin Heaven," Saatvika said. "She just got back from her honeymoon in Lexington, Kentucky. She really enjoyed their bluegrass music, fried chicken, and horse derbies."

"Isn't Heaven one of the backup dancers for second season of the American 'Let's All Dance Until We're Sick'?" asked Presley Beth.

"That's her," recalled Saatvika. "Being on LADUWS is sort of a thing for my generation, and get this, she also met Mavis during that time. I never knew that Mavis knew my American cousin."

"You know Mavis?" recalled Carla. "She's always so private."

While they were laughing, Danna started to notice something. "Where's Chanel?" she asked. "She's missing out on chocolate pudding day."

"She's in her room," explained Leighton, "paralyzed after someone posted on the blog about her wearing pink tutus. I figure that you girls should talk to her after you eat."

**XxoxX**

In her room, Chanel was eating some microwavible Mac and Cheese and watching some French soap operas. She was at the scene where the beautiful Dr. Tailler slapped at her boss, Dr. St. Pierre, for secretly hiding stolen diamonds in her office.

"But Dr. Tailler," said Dr. St. Pierre, "I need to pay for my children's college education."

"Aren't they going to be mad about what you did?" growled Dr. Tailler.

In reality, Chanel was agreeing with Dr. Tailler.

The Mew Mews came into the room with chocolate pudding.

"Bonjour, Chanel," greeted Carla. "Are you feeling alright after what happened?"

"Je vais aller mieux (I will get better)," admitted Chanel, "thanks to you guys and this classic soap."

Her friends were confused on what she meant. "'Hôpital psychiatrique Spirit Fields (Spirit Fields Psychiatric Hospital)'," she explained Chanel. "It's a 1980s soap opera in France. My mom and I watch it all the time. It's like a mix of 'General Hospital' and 'Twin Peaks.' Nobody owns VHS anymore, so my mom buys them so she can keep the memory of them alive."

"Smart thinking, mate," Harley replied. "We can't forget the times of legwarmers and 'Pony Puffs'."

Hearing the name "Pony Puffs," Chanel decided to reveal another secret. In her private drawer, she got a tiny pony with black fur, auburn hair and a marking of a moon with fire blazes on it. "This is Countess Moonblaze, a vampony," she explained. "Instead of sucking blood, she sucks cold from the night to live. The company wanted to encourage girls who love the darkness."

Little did Chanel know was that Countess Moonblaze did a sparkle in her eye.

"I think that pony suit you," admitted Julianna. "I use to own a Scarlett Sweetheart, the southern-belle Pony Puff who's family owns a bunny sanctuary."

"Bilkul nahin! (No way!)" shouted Saatvika. "I have a Diamond Musical Pony Puff, Pony Puff Land's biggest movie star!"

Chanel was thrilled to see that two of her friends liked "Pony Puffs." "Besides the ACS," she said, "I've been getting into the écoles and poetry club, drama, and newspaper. Unfotunately, the only friend I tried to befriend was Leighton. Plus my previous roommates were really sunny. I didn't have many copains back in France neither."

"But you have us," assured Vada. "Also, Harley might've figured out who would post those pictures on the school blog."

Before she could answer, the Mini-Mews popped out and shouted, "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn!"

That meant that there was danger nearby. Chanel decided to get some fresh air while the other Mini-Mews watch some TV. "Diànshì! Diànshì" the Mini-Mews shouted as Chanel and Taro took off.

After Chanel took off, Vada and Saatvika got out their birthday presents for Chanel, "Tomorrow is her anniversary, right?" asked Vada. "So maybe can Carla can wrap the presents and we can work on a card together."

Everyone thought it was a great idea, so they got started making some presents to cheer Chanel up.

*Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

At an elementary school field trip to Wyandotte County Lake Park, students were learning about nature when a giant frog monster popped up and sterted scaring them. Poach was on the frog, riding it like a bull at a Texas rode. "While the fearful humans run from our monsters," he shouted, "we get to drain life! This is genius!"

"Dommage (Too bad)!" shouted Mew Mew Chocolate from behind. "There are innocent des gens et des animaux here!"

Poach was suprised by Mew Mew Chocolate prescense, but he was also confused by her French language. So, he told McCart Frog to attack. Using her tiger instincts, Mew Mew Chocolate used her Striped Sword to take down McCart Frog. Unfortunately, he was too strong. Before McCart Frog had a chance to kill Mew Mew Chocolate, a pink pony with yellow hair and really cute eyes popped. Observing carefully, Mew Mew Chocolate could tell it was a Pony Puff. "I thought the Pony Puffs weren't real," she admitted

"They are if you believe," said the Pony Puff Princess as she helped Chanel up. This reminded Chocolate of how she saved her favorite bat toy from the tiger exibit at the Paris Zoo, all at age 10.

"We gotta warn you," Pony Puff Princess continued, "we have a grudge against stuff that's too boyish. There are a lot of tomboy ponies in Pony Puff World, but they always remember their true gender."

"Like me!" shouted a dark Pony Puff in a Romanian accent.

Recognizing her appearance, Mew Mew Chocolate recognized her. "You...you're Countess Moonblaze," amazed Chanel.

"And not just any Countess Moonblaze," replied Countess Moonblaze. "The same one you kept since you were a little girl. There's a Pony Puff for every person and a person for every Pony Puff. We both were outcast for our scary appearance, and when a group of seven came to our hideouts, we weren't alone anymore."

Mew Mew Chocolate smiled because of what they went through.

"Enough small talk!" shouted Poach. "Let's give frogs to their throats!"

The two Pony Puffs lifted Mew Mew Chocolate up and tossed her into the air.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Frog turned back into a frog.

"I should never have snuck into the pet store and steal one of their frogs!" shotued Poach as he teleported back to his spaceship.

Chanel didn't want the owner to worry about a missing frog, so she decided to take him back before anyone freaks out.

**XxoxX**

The next day, Vada and Saatvika were guiding a blindfolded Chanel towards the ACS room. "Filles," she said, "que se passe-t-il (What's going on)?"

"While you were studying for your French classes and handling Poach's monsters," explained Vada, "the girls and were planning a birthday spectacular."

When Saatvika removed the blindfold from Chanel, Chanel could see that the ACS rooms has turned into a spooky birthday party. "Joyeux anniversaire, Channel."

Chanel was happy because in the past she was left alone, which she hated.

Vada gave her some chocolate rasberry lollipops she made from her candy-making kit, and form her own recipe, Saatvika gave her a ballet figurine with a black tutu, in homage to one of her favorite movies, "Black Swan," Carla gave her a shellfish bracelet with black beads she made herself, Harley gave her a "Snooper Dawg and the Clue Crew: Parasite in Paris" book, Presley Beth gave her an orange version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" jacket, which she got on sale at a thrift store, Julianna gave her some apple blossom tea, because she'd heard of orange blossom tea and remembered that Chanel was allergic to oranges, so she gave her an apple substitute, Danna gave her a garnet necklace with orange and brown beads on them. Once Danna placed the necklace onto her neck, Chanel blushed. and finally, Ms. Benjamin showed her a blog post of what happened.

Wacky dance teacher, Kiki Benjamin spots Lilith A, Peyton R Burgess, Brielle R Blair and Rylee R Bowen hacking into school computers changing their own grades and putting up embarassing photos of school chess and math club and local goth girl, Chanel Proulx. Instead of playing Tattletale, she drove them crazy by mimicking monkey moves and make them confess their crime to Dean Dennis. As punishment, the girls were forced to delete the blog post they did and changed their grades back to the way they were.

"Peyton's mother is a computer hacker," Ms. Benjamin explained. "Are you feeling better after what Lilith's gang did?"

With one smile, Chanel replied, "Oui, professeure."

**The End**

**Chapter 18: To Poke A Poodle**

In their homeroom, Saatvika was passing a note to Rodrigo. Luckily, homeroom didn't start. Rodrigo took the note and read it.

*Hey, Rod*

*Your really cute.*

*Xoxox, Saat*

Seeing this, Rodrigo blushed.

"This is the CKH Morning News," Leighton announced on the school news. "I'm your host Leighton Morce. For today's announcement. Today's lunch is pepperoni pizza, celery sticks and lemonade. Sign-ups or the field trip to El Quartelejo Ruins are due this Thursday. Also, be sure to attend tomorrow's assembly on pet care with our very own pets with Ms. Benjamin and Coach Howland and Saturday's charity concert of the Green Jesters. One more thing: our very own Mrs. Georgeson is looking for two pet-sitters while she's at a family reunion for the weekend. We all know how much he loves the game of bingo. Leighton Morce, signing off."

Hearing this, Saatvika thought it would be a great way to bond with Rodrigo. Rodrigo always been fond of dogs. He'd even pet-sitted for coworkers his parents as a first job. "I must warn you," he whispered, "looking after pets is not easy."

"Maybe we should go to that lecture tomorrow," Saatvika whispered. "But we better stay quiet now, because talking in class can give us detention."

"I'm with you," agreed Rodrigo.

**XxoxX**

In the teacher's lounge, Ms. Benjamin was having some orange chicken wings with a side of egg custard tarts for lunch when Coach Howland came up to her. "Hey, Zander" she said. "We did good at the pet lecture Friday didn't we?"

"I see you found abacus," Coach Howland said.

"An old Chinese computer," explained Kiki. "Sometimes when I do homework, I use this to think, along with banana-flavored snacks. I'm figuring out what to teach when it comes to taking care of your pets."

"I had a pet dog growing up," explained Coach Howland. "His name was Tipsy as a reminder that you have to tip uour waiter. Unfortunately, he did that while I was away at college." To cheer him up, Ms. Benjamin gave him one of her custard tarts.

**XxoxX**

When Friday came, Mrs. Georgeson was starting to worry about a sitter for her dogs. Just as she was about to go inside, Saatvika and Rodrigo came in.

"We heard about your ad and though we could look after your dogs," Saatvika said.

"And we're sorry we're late," Rodrigo continued. "Saatvika and I had a pet-care lecture to attend."

Mrs. Georgeson was delighted because she finally found someone to look after her puppies. In her house, she got out her two dogs, Camila and Cabello, named after the Cuban pop star. "I was amazed by her music and she reminded me that your never to old for anything," she explained. "I better get going. I don't like being late."

After they left, Saatvika and Rodrigo decided to teach the two dogs how to do a hoop trick.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at the CKH, everyone was getting ready for the Green Jesters concert. Little did they know, Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni were going around disguised as nerdy fans.

I can't believe I get to wear these ridiculous outfits!" complained Crossni. "Why can't we dress like those cool kids?"

"They'll be suspecting that," answered Elthunt. "Now we gotta find another animal to turn into a McCart monster."

Crossni was so angry, that she accidentally knocked over a t-shirt stand. "Hey!" shouted Dean Dennis. "The school board worked very hard making those iron on shirts. You're gonna have to wash them."

Not wanting to ruin the operation, the three McCart minions decided to do what Dean Dennis said.

**XxoxX**

Later, at another part of the CKH, Saatvika and Rodrigo were arriving with Camila and Cabello on their leashes. They promised their ACS friends that they'd be at the concert, and they didn't just want to leave the two doggies behind, so they decided to bring them along. Smelling some cheeseburgers by a green trailer with circus patters, Camila and Cabello followed the smell and through the doggy door. Inside, Saatvika recognized the five Indian-American boys wearing green apparel and eating cheeseburgers from O'Mickey's. Rodrigo was confused on who they were.

"Those are the Green Jesters - Camdyn, Cedric, Justus, Alaric, and Kalel," explained Saatvika. "They're my favorite boy band. During their six month stay in Asia, they stayed at a local motel in India where they did their music videos with a young Saatvika Jain. Camdyn is the country boy, Cedric is the rebel, Justis is the techy, Alaric is the wacky one, and Kalel is the dreamy dreamboat."

Rodrigo got jealous. "Monsieurs!" shouted a French man. "You're on in twenty minutes!"

"That's just our manager, Had Deschamps," explained Kalel. "He's always being perfect and driving us crazy with control."

"For five years," replied Justis, "he has been making sure we act perfect."

"Had made us keep the name," Alaric explained, "because someone already had the names, Curious Balance, Fire Confession, and Blade Mountain."

Had was angry because not only were the Green Jesters eating junk food, but they let dogs in and Had was highly allergic to dogs. After he kicked the two doggies out of the trailer, Camila and Cabello wandered off.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, in the laundry room, Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni were cleaning up the iron-on shirts when they spotted the two dogs moping around. Seeing the two little dogs, they figured that they would be perfect for their McCart chaos. The two McCart bugs flew up to the dogs, bit them, and they turned into monsters.

**XxoxX**

Back at the setup, Saatvika was going around the place when Bok Choy started sensing danger. She remembered that the girls are going to get changed for the concert. So, she decided to do it herself

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

At the library, Mew Mew Sundae was bouncing up and down to the trouble, only to find that there's no trouble at all. It was weird and quiet, too quiet.

Suddenly, McCart Poodles both came out. Observing carefully, Saatvika could tell that the two poodles were Camila and Cabello. She needed to change them back before Rodrigo catches on. Seeing a flier that said "Cheer Squad Laundry Sign-Ups," she got an idea. Using a fallen picture of a holiday ham. She tricked the two dogs into leaving the library, head over for the laundry room, and made them land in dirty laundry and garbage. With luck, Mew Mew Sundae decided to finish it off.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, the new McCart poodles changed back to Camila and Cabello. "It's amazing that dogs have a strong sense of smell and they could tear up pages," recalled Saatvika. "Thank you, Ms. Benjamin, and Coach Howland's pet lecture."

**XxoxX**

By the concert, Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni were sabotaging the concert by playing their terrible music. "Madame!" shouted Had. "Stop this behavior this instant!"

"Shut up, you French Lou Pearlman!" Crossni insulted. "This is our show now! You can just go back to Paris!"

Behind them, Ms. Benjamin popped up and blew air horns in their ears. The three aliens couldn't stand her wacky behavior, so they teleported away. Luckily, everyone thought it was all special effects and cheered for Ms. Benjamin. "Xie Xie, everyone." Had was surprised by her monkey behavior. "Now, Had," she replied, "I heard rumors that you treat your boy band like 'the perfect one'. Is it true?"

With one gulp, Had admitted that he wanted the Green Jesters to be the "perfect" boy band because he never got a chance to live out his boy-band dream due to his lack of singing and he always stepped on people's feet on accident when he danced. Instead of fighting, she forced Had to let them be themselves and be imperfect, or else she'd have to make a monkey out of them. Had agreed to let them be imperfect.

In the audience, Saatvika was confused, because the Green Jesters should be performing right now. Remembering from a Viewtube video about the Backstreet Boys' Valentine Concert of the mid-'90s, she decided to check their trailer again. When she got there, she could tell that the door was locked. So, she got out a bobby pin, picked the lock, and freed her crush and her favorite group. "I remembered their advice that you can't eat too close to the show," she explained, "because you could get sick."

"That's right," replied Justis.

Camila and Cabello barged up and licked Rodrigo. "It's good to see you two," he laughed.

"You know, fellas," Camdyn said, "they kind of remind us of our pet dogs Rocky, Alex James, Nicky, Howard, and Kev-Kev."

Saatvika immediately recalled that they named their pet dogs after the Backstreet Boys, who inspired them to become a boy band.

"Five Indian-American boys from Kansas City, Kansas," explained Kalel as he took Saatvika's hand. "Seeing that there isn't an Indian-American boy band on the charts, we decided to be one. Unfortunately, all the record labels in the midwest couldn't allow us. That's when we came across a French talent agent/record producer, Had Deschamp of Deschamp Records, who wanted international stars for his music company. Unfortunately, he couldn't let us bring our dogs due to his allergies. Though we could have some puppy love."

Kalel tried to kiss Saatvika, but she pushed him away in favor of Rodrigo. "Sorry, Kalel," said Saatvika, "but I already love someone who's a circus star."

Kalel was disappointed by Saatvika's rejection, but they had to keep the show going.

**XxoxX**

By the stage, the Mew Mews were coming out all dressed for the concert. "Saat," smiled Vada, "you just missed out on our dress up time."

"I know," replied Saatvika. "I didn't have time to change due to a little McCart troubles."

"Don't worry," Julianna replied. "We thought of that."

From her bag, Julianna got out a pink sequin jacket, magenta platform shoes, and a coral pink bow headband. After putting them on, she spotted Rodrigo with Mrs. Georgeson's two dogs. "Saatvika," Rodrigo said, "that was very cool that you found Camila and Cabello before anything bad happened."

"You know dogs," replied Saatvika. "They love meat."

Onstage, the Green Jesters came onstage and asked Saatvika if she could sing with them, as friends. "I promised myself that I would take a break from the spotlight," recalled Saatvika, "but if its a performance with my closest friends...for this occasion I would like for Rodrigo to come onstage."

Rodrigo blushed and came onstage with Saatvika. Onstage, they did a combination of tap and ballroom dancing while the Green Jesters sang their smash hit, "My Kind Of Secrets." Everyone cheered.

**The End.**

**Chapter 19: I've Got A Feline Deep Inside**

It was the Friday before Halloween and the girls were heading off to an empty classroom, "The note did say to come here after school" said Harley, "I found this in my locker. "

"I got the same note too" replied Danna, "It appears that we've been getting a secret admirer."

"We all got the same one too," replied Chanel as she blushed, "What is going on here?"

"Don't know" Saatvika answered, "But I hope that Rodrigo kisses me."

When they arrived at room B116, skaters with pies came out of nowhere and tossed them at the girls, "A pie-bush!" shouted Harley.

Out of the shadows came Lilith with her phone. She had been filming their little pie prank, "I hired these punk skaters $100 dollars each to pie you losers." Lilith explained, "Of course we stole those pies from the cafeteria and that gullible Dean Dennis thinks that aliens took them."

"That explained why they changed the desserts to fudge brownies." said Vada, "Now turn off those recordings before Dean Dennis catches you and puts you in detention again."

Lilith chuckled at Vada's joke, "This is live, Vada." Lilith corrected.

"LIVE?!" exclaimed our heroes as they turned their heads.

"Now this is embarrassing," said Danna

"I hope you have those faces at the Halloween party at Meredith's Masterpiece" Lilith laughed, "Because there will be pumpkin pies."

While Lilith left with delight on her mind, the girls stared with anger in there's, "This can't be good" said Harley, "Lilith humiliated us threw a live stream and we're going to be the laughing stock of the party."

Later in their dorm, Kiki came in with a concerned look on her face, "Hey girls" greeted Miss. Benjamin, "I heard about your little pieng troubles today. Coach Howland showed me the footage on his phone."

"I don't think we ought to go to Meredith's Masterpiece" replied Carla sadly, "Because of what Lilith did."

"Maybe our visitor can cheer you up." suggested Kiki as a woman with short red hair and pink clothes came in.

With once glance, Saatvika quickly recognized her, "Why, why, why- " she said, "Your Mew Mew Strawberry of the original Mew Mew Power, 'Zoey Hanson' ."

"That's me" admitted Zoey, "Kiki invited me over to catch up. It's not easy running a bakery in San Diego"

"San Diego?" asked Presley Beth, "Have you been to their Comic-Cons?"

"That's right" answered Zoey with a smile, "Though I had to dress like characters from 'Captain Sun', 'The Flockurais', and 'Shinkomon' in order to avoid suspicion."

"Good call" agreed Danna, "We can't let anyone know the truth about the operations."

After the girls clean up, they decided to go shopping to cheer up.

Meanwhile, Poach arriving towards a girl's Halloween themed sweet 16th birthday. "Look at them" he groaned to himself, "Birthdays being the most special day in one earthling's life, especially a girl's \*sweet 16\*.

Within fifteen seconds, he spotted a stray cat, stung it with a McCart Bug, and the cat turned into a monster.

Meanwhile at the mall, the girls were going around looking for the perfect costumes for Mavis' party when they picked up a livestream of McCart Cat destroying the birthday party, "Sounds like we got a party crashing problem."

"Let's do it together" said Zoey.

Saatvika was happy, because she gets to see Mew Mew Strawberry.

*Mew Mew Strawberry*

*Mew Mew Pudding*

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis*

Everyone transformed into their Mew Mew hero forms. Luckily, everyone was too distracted by the live stream to notice the change.

As soon as our heroes took off for the park, they spotted McCart Cat eating the birthday cake. "Hey!" shouted Mew Mew Strawberry, "It's tradition to let the guest of honor have a slice of the cake first!"

One by one, each of the girls use the Anartia Fans, Silky Lasso, Beary Bow., Crested Umbrella, Sprinkle Frisbee., Illusion Staff., Freezing Flute and Striped Sword.

Looking at their fighting friends, Mew Mew Honey knew that it would work much better if they all did it.

*Mew Mew Style Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Power In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Cat was destroyed, much to the terror of Poach. As he teleported back to his ship, the girls powered down in the empty party. "This is awful" Saatvika frowned, "A birthday party ruined by a space-cat."

"Well" replied Danna, "Let's fix it up."

Quick as they could, everyone cleaned up the messy birthday party. Once they placed the presents back, the birthday girl came in and thanked them for saving her party. In returned, she gave them an address to a costume shop, which her parents own.

The next day, the costume party was going on at Meredith's Masterpiece. Mavis was dressed as a southern belle while Lilith and her crew were dressed as devils.

By the door, Kiki and Zoey came in dressed as Adorabeezle Winterpop and Crumbelina Di Caramello from Sugar Rush and they were carrying a giant cake with animal patterns all around, "What's with the giant cake?" asked Lilith.

Out of the cake, came the ACS in costume. Harley was an alien druid, Carla was a futuristic android, Vada was a scary jester, Chanel was a monster scarecrow, Julianna was a stitched up genie, Presley Beth was a phantom puppet, Danna was a bandit and Saatvika was a gargoyle. Everyone was delighted by their cake scare, but Lilith was annoyed by their arrival, "Shouldn't you guys be at home crying like babies" insulted Lilith.

"These costumes were from the Silver Shadow Costume Company" explained Vada, "And we're not big babies, you are"

Lilith was so annoyed by Vada's insult she tried to steal some chocolate cream pie, but was caught by Dean Dennis dressed as Major Glory, "So Coach Howland was right" he growled, "You did steal the pies from the cafeteria."

"Come on" Lilith nervously laughed, "It's for my Viewtube channel"

"Go wait in the janitor's closet until the party is over" Dean Dennis growled.

Harley was impressed, because her uncle found a reasonable punishment for Lilith. Kiki was also impressed because Coach Howland somehow knew about Lilith's attempt to humiliate the team.

Behind them, Coach Howland came in dressed as a 1940s man ready for a date. This made Kiki blushed, "Hey Zander" he smiled.

"Hey Kiki" greeted Coach Howland as he gave her some candy, "I got these for you."

The Mew Mews were amazed, because Coach Howland saved their skins. Coach Howland explained to them that knew that Lilith isn't worthy to trust because of her cruelty, so he decided to spy on her through his camera and text the video to Dean Dennis.

After they high fived Coach Howland, they took off to join Zoey at the chocolate buffet.

**The End.**

**Chapter 20: Everything is Awesome with a Opossum**

On the roads of Kansas, Coach Howland and Ms. Benjamin were heading off to the town that he grew up in, "I can't believe that your taking me to Hawthaway Plains."

Listening to the radio car, Radio Disney started playing Tegan and Sara's "Everything Is Awesome."

"I recognize this from the 2014 movie based on the hit toy," Ms. Benjamin recalled.

"'The Lego Movie' is one of my favorites," explained Coach Howland. "You know how sometimes I put on the radio in gym class? It gets the students pumping. Since Dean Dennis won't allow phone radios or music apps in class."

"I do that for the modern dance classes," Ms. Benjamin replied. "I've been getting more modern dance students because of Coach Landon's terrible behavior."

**XxoxX**

Five minutes later, they arrived in a small town that looked a lot like something from "Dawson's Creek."

"Welcome to Hathaway Plains, Kansas," said Coach Howland as they popped out of his beach station wagon.

With one gaze, Kiki could tell that the town was completely boring. It was boring as watching paint dry. "This isn't my kind of town," she admitted.

"I know," Coach Howland admitted. "Things can be really dull here. The only times where the town gets excited is around Halloween and Christmas."

They arrived at the local Chinese restaurant, Little Brook Gardens, where Coach Howland went to every weekend growing up.

**XxoxX**

Inside the red Chinese restaurant, Coach Howland spotted an old lady serving a group of teenagers.

"Mrs. Le," recalled Coach Howland. "Haven't seen you in ages."

"Look at you, Zander Howland," Mrs. Le replied as she hugged her former regular customer. "Gym teacher at Cyrus K Boarding School and finally have a girlfriend. Your old basketball teammates has told me about your little mishaps with this little lotus and her ACS friends."

"Yeah," Ms. Benjamin laughed nervously. "I'm Kiki Benjamin, the modern dance teacher at the school he works at."

"I know," recalled Mrs. Le. "That stunt girl who's always making a scene."

Coach Howland explained that when he was a child, his parents were always working as basketball team for Hathaway Plains Opossums. Whenever he's at basketball practice, he comes to Little Brook Gardens. In fact, this was his first job.

"Reminds me of Cafe Mew Mew," admitted Ms. Benjamin. "I use to liven up the crowds with my circus stunts and behaving like a monkey in the cafe. I'd even made banana themed desserts."

"That's amazing," agreed Coach Howland. "Bananas have strong potassium. Little Brook Garden also serves banana themed desserts."

**XxoxX**

After they had their snacks there, they went up to a small general store. "This is Spire of Wonders, where everyon in town comes to by stuff."

Inside, they saw stuff that was very rare, like the '60s horror/romance movie, "Silver Swords of Sweetness," a CD of the '80s alternative rock group Garden Driver, and Regal Wand chocolate, a rare candy that is only sold in movie theaters in the midwest.

"These are some really rare materials," admitted Kiki. "Normally I would buy snacks and eat them before I see the movie."

"That's true," agreed Zander, "Normally we buy snacks here before we go to the movie theater."

"Zander, old boy!" shouted an elderly African-American man in a wheelchair.

"Mr. Marcel!" shouted Zander. "How's the grandkids?"

"Growing up. They're just starting community college in Wichita."

"This is Kiki," Xander explained. "I'm showing her Hathaway Plains."

"Things can be really boring here," admitted Mr. Marcel, "but there was a report of a group of strange people who barged up yesterday."

"What strange people?" asked Kiki.

"There was a big and bossy woman with a voice of a siren and wore pelts out of small animals, one had an out of tune keytar and had feathers on them, and a rude Brooklyn accented lady had fishbone outfits," explained Mr. Marcel.

Thinking deep, Kiki knew that Mr. Marcel was talking about Aretha, Elthunt, and Crossni.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Aretha was working on her singing while Crossni was doing her dancing and ELthunt was playing his keytar. This was causing nearby opossums to play dead. All three of them smiled evilly and decided to make one of them a McCart Monster. With one release of a McCart Bug, one opossum turned into McCart Opossum.

**XxoxX**

Back at Hathaway Plains, Zander was showing Kiki his childhood home. At the front of the time, were a tire swing, a zen garden, and a bunch of cute little garden gnomes. By the door was a sassy African-American woman.

"Lil Zandy!" she shouted as she hugged Zander. "And this is Kiki Benjamin? Everyone in Hathaway Plains has been hearing rumors about you. Word gets around here."

"This is my cousin, Demelza Howland," explained Zander. "She works here as a gardner and a housekeeper whenever my parents are out of town."

"Where are they?" Kiki asked.

"There at a Gardening Expo in Santa Fe," answered Zander. "They're sorry that they can't come to meet them, but Demelza promised to tell them about our adventure."

On the tire swing, Kiki decided to show off her stunts to impress Demelza. Her stunts were so powerful that the neighbors started starring at her. Everyone was amazed by Kiki Benjamin's little stunts. After she landed on her two feet, everyone applauded for Kiki. Before she could bow, McCart Opossum started terrorizing the public.

While Zander and Demelza were getting the neighborhood children to safety. Kiki his behind the tree.

*Mew Mew Pudding, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Using her Golden Tambourine, she fought off the Opossum. Behind a purple convertible, Zander and Demelza gazed at the monkey-themed hero.

"Is that Mew Mew Pudding?" asked Demelza. "I've been reading papers and blogs about her superhero activity."

"That is her," replied Zander. "She's cool, but she's nothing compared to Kiki."

After Mew Mew Pudding attacked again, a tiger slash and a cockatoo whirlwind came. Behind her, Mew Mew Pudding spotted two familiar feathery and furry friends.

"Mew Mew Dumpling! Mew Mew Chocolate!" shouted Mew Mew Pudding. "Good timing!"

"With Vad, Saat, and Carla with their audio visual seminar at the school library and Pres, Jule, and Har watching a marathon of the first season of the Australian 'Let's All Dance Until We're Sick'," explained Mew Mew Dumpling. "Chanel and I were the only ones available."

"Here's a little lullaby my mom and I use to sing together when I was little!" shouted Mew Mew Dumpling.

*Goodnight little hibiscus*

*Hear the dew drops on a green ficus*

*Feel the silence of a dancing cygnus*

*When you close eyes and end your fuss*

*You don't feel completely graceless*

*Goodnight little hibiscus*

McCart Opossum and fell asleep.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

With all of their Mew Mew Power, McCart Opossum turned back into a regular opossum.

"Are these the citizens of the ville of Hathaway Plains?" Mew Mew Chocolate whispered.

"They are," whispered Mew Mew Pudding. "Wanna join Coach Howland and I for a little Hathaway Plains shopping? There's a small store that sells horror romance movies, rare chocolate, and alternative rock CDs, all three for only 9 bucks all together."

"We're in," whispered Mew Mews Chocolate and Dumpling.

**XxoxX**

Later that day, Kiki, Zander, Demelza, Chanel, and Danna spend the day watching an old film at the cinema, meeting Zander's old basketball team, shopping at local stores and ending it with going to the local romantic point, Westwood Peak. While observing the sunset, Zander and Kiki looked at each other and kissed on the lips. Chanel, Danna and Demelza cheered for their kiss.

"That's my cousin!" shouted Demelza.

Chanel leaned on Danna's head and Danna blushed. \*There's something about that scary woman that I like,\* Danna thought to herself. \*Her love is as sweet as apple dumplings, just like how my step-dad use to make.\*

**XxoxX**

The next day, Kiki was enjoying some shrimp dumplings when Coach Howland came in with Hathaway Plains Times.

*Crazy choreography teacher from Cyrus K Holliday Boarding School livens town up.*

"You made all the papers in Summer County!" Coach Howland exclaimed. "I have to admit, you really know how to liven up a town."

"I did that all the time in Chocolate City," Ms. Benjamin replied, "From spinning plates to juggling torches."

"Speakng of stunts," Dean Dennis said as he came in drinking his decaf coffee, "The Great Gorilla Lodge outside Kansas City is having the annual Monkey Expo there and they needed a new act after the zoo's monkeys got out of control after a Scottish band unintentionally made them crazy."

Kiki didn't mind another gig at the Greenburg Hotel in Kansas City, so she took the offer.

The End.

**Chapter 21: Pecking Order**

On the Mew Mew Jet, Ms. Benjamin was driving like she's at the Danville 500. Accompanying her were Danna, Vada, Julianna, and Presley Beth.

*Go Kiki, Go Go, Kiki*

*Go Kiki, Go Go, Kiki*

*Go Kiki, Go Go, Kiki*

The music was so catchy that Harley stood up in annoyance. "Why do you have to drive like that?" she asked in rage "And where are we going again?"

"Chocolate City," replied Ms. Benjamin, "home of Crazy Critters Chocolate."

"Chocolate City, Utah?" asked Harley. "That's your hometown, the place where the Mew Mews were based."

"Correct," Ms. Benjamin answered. "And I can't wait to show you girls around."

*Danger, Danger.*

*Unauthorized personal waking up!*

Swiftly, Harley arrived to the sleeping chamber where a semi-conscious Curtis was waking up. Carla was curious on why would she bring Curtis along. "I promised Curtis that we would learn about woodpeckers," Harley explained. "And I also promised Ms. Benjamin I would join her on our trip. You know how nuts she gets when I break a Mew Mew Pudding Promise."

"Yeah," replied Carla. "She gets more monkey-ish than she is now. But where are we going to find a place for you two to learn about woodpeckers?"

Thinking back, Harley decided to go to the Chocolate City Public Library. Suddenly, she and Curtis mysteriously vanished and arrived at the front of the Chocolate City Public Library. On a bench, Harley woke up a sleepy Curtis.

"Where are we?" asked Curtis. "I could've sworn I saw a bunch of sugar-coated aliens that looked like you guys."

\*Ms. Benjamin had to give him her Sleeping Mooncakes\*, Harley thought to herself as she looked at Curtis.

"Hey, Harley," groaned Curtis. "Where are we?"

"Chocolate City Public Library," answered Harley. "You had a long flight, so I decided to wake you up when we get to the library."

Curtis was confused, but was glad he got to spend time with Harley.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, the rest of the Mew Mews were arriving at Cafe Mew Mew, the headquarters of the Mew Mews.

"Hi, Mew Mews," a green fairy greeted as he took a large gulp of chocolate cream pie.

"Cosmo!" scolded the pink fairy. "Save some chocolate cream pie for Chanel."

"I more of the dark chocolate type thank you very much," Chanel corrected.

Observing carefully, Presley Beth knew who they were. "Cosmo and Wanda" she recalled. "I remember you guys from 'The Fairly OddParents'. My sister and I saw every episode. I'd even once dressed as Cosmo for Halloween while Julianna dressed as Wanda."

"Don't be such an idiot," growled Wanda and Julianna at the same time.

Hearing this, both Wanda an Julianna knew they had a connection. "Annoyed when your twin gets dirty?" Wanda asked Julianna.

"Same as you getting annoyed by Cosmo's dumb antics," admitted Julianna.

"Even though Cosmo screws up real bad and is a jinx in Fairy World," Wanda replied as she took his hand, "I still love him. I love a guy who makes me laugh."

"It's like controlling quadruplet brothers with cartwheels and somersaults," Kiki chuckled.

"Not only do you have a younger sister," recalled Saatvika, "but quadruplet younger brothers too."

"Shì," replied Ms. Benjamin. "My four Xiōngdìs are out of town performing at a Chinese Cultural festival in Salt Lake City."

The Mew Mews knew that Ms. Benjamin had been to a lot of Chinese Cultural festivals, so they decided to let this one slide. Inside, they could see that the place was closed for the private visit of the Mew Mews.

"Wesley is out of town lecturing a group of Friendly Scouts on the history of cake," explained Ms. Benjamin, "so he's letting Cosmo and Wanda take charge while he's out of town."

To get things started, Wanda decided to lecture the Mew Mews on how to make a Mew Mew Banana Cake, much to Ms. Benjamin's delight.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at Mousse Park, Elthunt was going around with his keytar when he spotted a woodpecker pecking a tree. From his keytar, a McCart Bug flew out, stung the bird and it turned into a monster, "Time for a pecking order." he whispered evilly."

**XxoxX**

Back at Cafe Mew Mew, the girls were wrapping their lecture, and they decided to cool off for a while. As they were sitting down, Chanel sat on a whoopee cushion, much to her dismay. "The whoopee cushion gambit," she recalled in frustration. "Funny."

"And it smells like someone farted cupcakes," Carla replied as she started smelling.

"Yeah," replied Cosmo while laughing. "Wanda didn't want me to use whoopee cushions that smell like dirty socks again. That happened once when Gene Shalit came to visit the cafe, and made customers laugh at his sock jokes so hard, milk and other drinks came out of their noses."

"But don't squirt it from your ears - that's gross," advised Julianna, "Because no one wants jelly that tastes like earwax."

"Bow to the jelly!" shouted Cosmo.

The Mini-Mews popped out and shouted, "Weixian, Weixian!"

"Is something wrong with the Mini-Mews?" Wanda asked.

"Usually they do this whenever there's danger," explained Danna. "A few of us should go to the Chocolate City Public Library while the rest of us fight off the monster."

Without hesitation, Saatvika, Danna, Presley Beth, and Julliana decided to go. Cosmo decided to come with them too. The Mew Mews weren't sure, but Ms. Benjamin reminded them that he did say "Bow to the jelly."

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at the library, Curtis and Harley were studying up on woodpeckers when they unintentionally held each other's hands. Just as Harley was about to profess her feelings for Curtis, Lotus whispered from her back, "Weixian! Weixian!" In order to avoid getting caught, she told Curtis to place away the books while she checked out Mousse Park.

Outside and behind a bush, she transformed.

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

At Mousse Park, Mew Mews Sundae, Dumpling, Peanut Butter, and Jelly hopped to the scene of the crime. Using their Illusion Staff, Crested Umbrella, Silky Lasso, and Anartia Fans, they fought off against McCart Woodpecker. Cosmo tried to help them by tossing pillows filled with oatmeal, but unfortunately he missed and hit The Mew Mews on accident.

"Care to put honey on it?!" shouted Mew Mew Honey.

"It's Mew Mew Honey," shouted Cosmo, "the leading brains of the Kansas Mew Mews!"

"Lotus Leaf informed me about the dangers at Mousse Park," explained Mew Mew Honey. "And I can't believe that Cosmo would hit you with oatmeal-filled pillows."

"It was an accident," Cosmo admitted.

But thanks to Cosmo's idiotic behavior, Mew Mew Honey got an idea. "Hey, woodpecker!" she shouted. "Cosmo's brain is made of wood!"

Hearing this, McCart Woodpecker rushed to the fairy, slipped on the oatmeal, and landed in a garbage truck.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Woodpecker turned back into a regular woodpecker. Quickly, they just out of the scene, just as the garbage collecter removed the plastic soda holders and released her.

**XxoxX**

At Cafe Mew Mew, Mew Mew Honey heard a familiar voice: "Harley! Harley!" It was Curtis, who was looking for Harley. Mew Mew Honey turned back to normal and rushed up to him.

"There you are," Curtis said. "I was worried sick after you left the library."

"Hey, um, Curtis," Harley said nervously. "There's something I have to tell you." With one breath, she was ready to confess her feelings. "I've loved you since the day we first met. The way you stay strong to the city and live in the country at the same time, how you're cautious on balancing studies and friends and your strong bond towards the bears. It's what I like in a guy like you." Instead of saying how he felt, Curtis leaned in and kissed her on the lips, much to the delight to the others.

"Awwwwww," Cosmo cooed. "This is cute."

From the door, the others saw the entire thing and was delighted by the kiss. Secretly, Cosmo and the Mini-Mews took off and started playing quiet tag. Disguised as a waitress, Wanda presented a honey cake on her. "Things can be sweet being a member of the Mew Mew Power Fan Club, huh?"

"It sure does, mate," said Curtis.

"Where's Ms. Benjamin?" asked Danna. "She'll be so psyched to hear about this."

"She said she has some family buisness she has to do," answered Saatvika

**XxoxX**

At the Lóng Tiāntáng Chinese Cemetery, Kiki was going up to a Chinese grave with a bunch of bananas and some incense sticks. On the grave it said "Rika Benjamin."

"Hey, Mom," Kiki said to the grave. "Things are going great in Kansas. I've been befriending a group of girls in my Mew Mew cover up, The Animal Caretakers Society. All eight of them are very gifted dancers and have strong instincts like I did. I wish you could meet them."

With tears in her eyes, she left her mom's grave.

**The End.**

**Note: Chocolate City, Utah is a fictional city from The Fairly Odd Parents episode, 'Where's Wanda?'**

**Chapter 22: I Couldn't Bear It**

In the lounge, the girls were studying for their classes when they saw Leighton coming in with a box of honey. When they came up to the stand, Harley read a business card.

*Morce's Family Honey*

*The Morce The Merrier*

"I like the slogan," commented Harley. "It reminds us that it's good to have friends by your side."

"It does," Leighton agreed. "Unfortunately, none of my friends would by them, not even the school's news team. I even tried giving some to Lilith and her gang, but they just called me a 'sticky sludge'."

The Mew Mews were annoyed by what Lilith called her. "Don't worry, Leigh," Harley said to her friend. "We'll help you find some sellers."

Just then, Ms. Benjamin came in with a guidebook called "Monkeys as Pets for Morons" when she spotted the honey samples. With two cartwheels and one somersault, she came up to the stand and ate a honey jar.

"Ms. Benjamin!" shouted Danna. "No one likes a sample mooch."

"Sorry," Ms. Benjamin replied. "I was so excited about the honey, I didn't see you girls there."

"Yeah," Saatvika said nervously. "Well, Leighton is giving away theses honey samples and she doesn't know who to give them to.

Ms. Benjamin remembers that Mrs. Georgeson craves for honey and Nurse Millward's advice on healthy desserts are fruit salads, low fat cookies, and honey. So, she decided to take two jars to the teacher's lounge.

"We'll take some samples," said Presley Beth. "We'll take four of them."

"Why four?" Leighton asked. "There are three dorms and only eight of you."

"Relax," replied Carla. "The fourth one is for a friend of ours."

Leighton was confused, but was glad someone is having her honey samples.

After she left, the Mini-Mews popped out of Harley's backpack and started digging into a honey jar. "Mì táng!" Mì táng!"

**XxoxX**

In the teacher's lounge, the faculty was astonished by the honey samples that Leighton made, except for Coach Landon, "Oh, please," Coach Landon groaned. "They say that honey is healthy, but I think it's still junk food."

"You should try some," suggested Nurse Millward. "It's a honey of an O."

Instead of that, Coach Landon left in annoyance.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile in the forests, Aretha was going around sininging when a bear hunting for food heard her sing. With one glance, Aretha found her next victim. She got out a McCart Bug, the bug bit the bear and it turned into McCart Bear. Little did she know, is that the bear's cubs saw the whole thing and they ran to their den for safety.

**XxoxX**

Back in Carla, Danna's, and Harley's dorm, they were making Mew Mew beads with the original Mew Mew's colors when the Mini-Mews pop up alerting dangers.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Later they hopped to the scene of the crime where Aretha and McCart Bear were causing deforestation.

Mew Mews Cupcake and Peanut Butter decided to climb the trees to get a better view. Using her lip-reading skills, Mew Mew Peanut Butter could tell that Arethra is not a fond of children, including baby animals.

"That's is loco," whispered Mew Mew Cupcake. "Dolphins and seals are really cute."

"Uh-oh," Mew Mew Peanut Butter said nervously.

"¿Qué pasa?" asked Mew Mew Cupcake.

"I read her lips," answered Mew Mew Peanut Butter. "She spotted us."

Using a special space gun, Aretha trapped Mew Mews Cupcake and Peanut Butter to the ground. The other Mew Mews tried to get them out, but Aretha trapped them out. "Hope you enjoy getting stuck!"

"That's not even a good joke!" shouted Mew Mew Cupcake.

"Whatever," groaned Aretha as she and McCart Bear took off.

Smelling the sticky goo carefully, Mew Mew Vanilla could tell that this was space honey. Afraid that it could be poisonous, they decided to find another way to get out.

By a tree, the baby bear cubs could see our heroes in danger. They were desperate want their mommy back, so they ate the space honey and berry.

"Looks like they've saved room their dessert," joked Mew Mew Honey.

**XxoxX**

At a Velossi's, McCart Bear started terrorizing the patrons. Aretha was about to disturb the patrons by spraying hot chili pepper when Mew Mew Honey shouted from benign, "Are you spicing or slicing up your life?"

Aretha was petrified by their escape. "How did you get out of it?" she asked.

"The power of teamwork," answered Mew Mew Honey, "from a few cubs."

McCart Bear started to worry about her cubs. With her head down, she requested to turn back to normal before her cubs wander off.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Power*

*In Your Face*

And just like that McCart Bear was turned back into a bear. Aretha was annoyed by how McCart Bear willingly turned back to her old self, all for parenting.

"I better leave before Crossni wears out those carbon dioxide fueled sweat rags," Aretha said as she teleported back to the ship.

"Thank goodness you're alright," Kiki said as she came out of a table. "I saw the whole thing from a table. I was going to try Velossi's new Sichuan spice pizza when-"

"Mademoiselle Benjamin," interupted Mew Mew Chocolate. "Velossi's doesn't have a Sichuan pizza."

"I know," replied Kiki. "That's because I'm ordering it to go. I told Mavis that I'll be trying Velossi's pizzas each week with a different kind of Chinese sauce."

The Mew Mews were a bit disgusted, but were glad that their teacher was being herself. "We better get the bear back into the wild before pest control comes and her cubs start to worry," suggested Mew Mew Sundae as she took off.

**XxoxX**

The Mew Mew hopped back to CKH and changed into their regular forms. Inside, they saw Leighton feeling disappointed by no one buying her honey. Our heroes felt awful, because her family worked so hard to make that honey. "We gotta help her somehow," Danna said.

A disappointed Leighton was observing the jars when she spotted her friends. "Where were you girls?" she asked.

"Let's just say we were stuck in some trouble," exaggerated Harley.

Seeing that there are three jars left, Presley Beth just thought of something. "I think I know who to give this honey to," she suggested.

**XxoxX**

The next day at Meredith's Masterpiece, Mavis was enjoying a peanut butter, jelly and honey sandwich. "Thanks again for the four month supply of honey, Kiki. Now I can put some good use for those bagels without feeding them to birds."

"No problem," Ms. Benjamin replied. "And I get to put them in my green tea."

After she took a sip of her green tea, Kiki began to admire a square dancing painting that Mavis just finished today. "Don't you just miss the little treasure you lost."

"You know it," replied Mavis. "If only they knew the truth."

**The End**

**Chapter 23: A Sheepover**

It was a Friday evening, and the girls were pooped because of their excessive studies and their club meetings, "All I need is a strawberry and cherry sundae," Saatvika said. "I mean, two tests and a presentation in art class, nuts, and I don't mean the mega-sized replica of a walnut made of marbles."

"Oh, man," Harley, replied. "I promised Uncle Dennis that I would join him for a movie tomorrow."

"Come on," replied Presley Beth. "Y'all need time apart from your uncle. He worries too much."

"I know," replied Harley. "But keeping a promise isn't easy."

"Good point," replied Presley Beth.

Just then Saatvika got a text message from Ms. Benjamin, "She wants to invite us to the first ever ACS slumber party at the rec room. She's been hearing rumors that a ghost haunted the place."

"I'm nervous," Harley said. "Because this is my first-ever sleepover."

"But are you scared of ghosts?" teased Chanel, "I know how to contact the dead. I've been getting in touch with some of Miss. Benjamin's ancestors."

"No" Harley groaned, "I just don't want to scare my uncle."

"I'm sure Dean Dennis won't mind." Presley Beth replied, "Jul and I have always been to slumber parties with the children of the LGBT groups our Papas go to."

**XxoxX**

Later that night, they were all decked out in their pajamas and were heading down to the rec room. During the sleepover, they listened to Backstreet Boys music, played "Sugar Rush," and ate snacks from the vending machine. As soon as the girls finished their snacks, it was time for Kiki to tell them about The Ghost of CKH.

It all started in the early 70s, just around the time The Beatles were going their separate away, there was a girl named, 'Palmer Merchant' who is a big fan of The Beatles, she loved them so much, she calls herself, 'Lennox' in homage to John Lennon. She made wool sweaters inspired by their songs and gave them to her friends and teachers as presents. After all, they do say the best gifts come from the heart. In 1980 during a class reunion on December 9, 1980. She was enjoying to Nowhere Man when she got word on the death of John Lennon that lead her to complete devastation. She was so mad that she tore the rec room apart, causing a major fire, trapping and killing her. Rumors say that her ghosts still haunt the place, seeking for anyone who would play John Lennon music. There are four signs to her arrival. First: The sound of sheep will come from nowhere, Second: A warm feeling will come from nowhere, Third: Lights will flicker on and off like crazy, and 4: Beatles music will come out of nowhere and it will traumatize the victims.

Everyone was more fascinated than scared, "And that's why don't listen to Beatles music on fall nights." Kiki finished, "Because we're afraid that it might upset her."

"Were there any victims" asked Chanel.

"Only Four" answered Miss. Benjamin as she got out her toy monkey, "A group of morticians in the late 80s, a Snooper Dawg fanatic in the mid 90s, and Dean Dennis when he first came here in the early 2000s."

"I remember" Harley replied, "Dad told me that Dean Dennis was sleeping their cause of a repainting job. He claimed that the ghost was too scary for him to bare and that he hid in his painted room for four days. Luckily, he had snacks to hold him."

"Okay" said Miss. Benjamin, "Bedtime. We don't want sleepy faces for the movies."

**XxoxX**

Around the stroke of midnight, Chanel got up to get a drink from the water fountain. While she was getting her drink, a hand pressed against her. It was Danna, she told Chanel that Miss. Benjamin was acting strange and they should check it out.

By the Ping-Pong tables, they saw Miss. Benjamin juggling Ping-Pong paddles, with her feet, "What's wrong with Ms. Benjamin?" Chanel asked.

"I don't know," answered Danna, "She's acting sleepy for some reason. Now she's juggling ping pong paddles with her feet."

"She did say that she was an acrobat," recalled Chanel.

Before they could wake her up, they heard sheep noises come from out of nowhere, then a hot feeling struck them and it woke up Miss. Benjamin. "I got to remind myself, not to eat too many spicy cheese curls before bed" groaned Miss. Benjamin.

"Cheese curls" asked Danna, "We thought the ghost possessed you."

Chanel turned her head and was surprised, "But look what's happening to the others."

In the middle of the rec room, much to their shock, a bunch of funny-looking sheep were jumping over the others, who had just awoken from their disturbed slumber. "What's going on?"

Lights started to flicker like crazy and Beatles music started to play. This could only mean one thing, the ghost has come. The Mew Mews decided to round up the crazy sheep before it is too late.

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis.*

"Counting sheep," said Mew Mew Honey as she used her Beary Bow to control them, "Usually when they jump over a fence, they put people to sleep."

"How are we going to capture them?" asked Mew Mew Cupcake, "This is worse than Rodrigo doing karate at a family gathering."

"No time for family embarrassments" groaned Mew Mew Peanut Butter, "Time for a little pillow fight!"

As she tossed a pillow towards a sheep, the sheep jus bounced up and down on them. Then a whole bunch of sheep started bouncing around them. "You know something, "Mew Mew Jelly said to her twin sister, "This is exactly like that music box at home Grandma Lauryn made for me. The one with the purple carousel with the sheep. When you first got it, Sis, you got dizzy."

This gave them an idea, they decided to play ring around the rosie, The Kiki Way. Around the sheep, they ran around them while balancing a beach ball on their heads. Then they did a mega-size-juggle, where they tossed each other's beach balls, which made them dizzy. They were so dizzy, they became unconscious.

"Care to do the honors, teach?" asked Mew Mew Honey.

"Sure" Miss. Benjamin smiled.

*Mew Mew Style Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

Just like that, the sheep were fast asleep, only to change into ghostly forms. Knowing this, they were actually ghost sheep.

In the clearing, they saw a hippie ghost comes up to them. "That must be Lennox." Mew Mew Dumpling whispered in a suggestion.

"Hey, groovy gals" Lennox greeted, "How are the cool nights here."

"Far out?" Mew Mew Honey answered nervously, "Listen, your sheep have been bugging us while we were sleeping and we need you to control them."

"No sweat, dudette" Lennox replied, "I tried to befriend anyone in this pad, but no freaky friend wants to talk to me. The sheep wanted to help me too, but all they do is make a mess in here."

"Looks like we'll be cleaning up before the movies" Mew Mew Honey suggested.

"Don't worry." Kiki replied, "If you want a ghost to talk to, try my late mother. Her name is, 'Rika Benjamin'"

"Okay" replied Lennox as she and her sheep left for the spirit world.

**XxoxX**

The next day, our heroes and Dean Dennis were coming home from the movies when they spotted Lilith falling asleep by a door. Knowing that they don't allow sleeping in the hallways, they decided to take her to the nurse's office. "Funny" Dean Dennis replied, "I could've sworn I detected paranormal activity in the rec room last night. So Harley, How was the sleepover in the rec room."

"We were a bit sheepish, but we were fine." answered Harley.

**The End.**

**Chapter 24: Hey Bat, Swing**

It was Halloween afternoon, and Chanel was dancing her way through the halls when she bumps into an African-American punk rocker.

"Bonjour, Deacon," greeted Chanel.

"Bonjour, Chanel," greeted Deacon. "Are you excited to go to the Halloween Party tonight? They're going to raise money for the spring musical this year."

"Can't wait," Chanel replied.

Chanel was excited about the Halloween party, but was also nervous because her dancing skills were at a beginner's level and she didn't want to scare everyone. Little did she know was that Vada and Saatvika were stairing at her.

"I think Chanel likes Deacon," whispered Saatvika.

"Really?" asked Vada. "I was wondering what the 'D' in some of her stood for. I hope Danna isn't jealous."

**XxoxX**

In the teacher's lounge, Mrs. Georgeson was reading "The Cyrus K. Chronicle" when Ms. Benjamin cartwheeled into the lounge. Out of all the teachers, only Coach Landon and Mrs. Georgeson didn't like her.

Mr. Janson started to worry about Mrs. Georgeson's stern behavior. "Don't you ever lighten up or have fun for a change?" he asked.

"I have fun," lied Mrs. Georgeson.

Unfortunately Mr. Janson didn't buy it, because he'd seen her read books at faculty parties. "Fine," admitted Mrs. Georgeson. "I usually keep the students from getting hurt. I don't know the idea of DJS, live bands, party games, and pizza!"

"You don't like pizza?" asked Mr. Janson. "That's silly."

"Pizza is a waste of tomatoes and cheese!" shouted Mrs. Georgeson.

Worried that her stern behavior would raise to an eleven, Dean Dennis decided to let her, Ms. Benjamin, and Coach Howland be in charge of the Halloween party this year.

"I'm not so sure about this," continued Mrs. Georgeson. "But I don't want to see any of the students break anything. I'll do it."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at the Kansas City zoo, Coach Landon was going around was going around the bat exhibit. While she was going around to tie her shoe, a McCart Bug popped up, bit a bat and turned into McCart Bat. Instead of freaking out, she smiled.

**XxoxX**

Later that evening, Kiki and the ACS were reusing the same costumes they wore at Mavis's Halloween party. They saw Coach Howland dressed in his '40s suit. "Hey Kiki," he greeted. "We're reusing our costume party costumes. Good thing Lilith isn't here."

"Because of Lilith's pie-throwing charade," Coach Howland explained, "she and her crew are banned from the party."

The Mini-Mews were bobbling for apples, thinking it was a swimming pool, when they sensed danger.

The Mew Mews were rooting Saatvika for the pinata break when they snuck by them and whispered "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn!" Saatvika removed her blindfold and gathered the rest of the Mew Mews by the pumpkin carving table.

"We need a distraction so we can go Mew Mew," whispered Presley Beth.

"I got this," Ms. Benjamin replied as she stuffed some Chinese checker marbles into her mouth. "Just trust me," she added with the marbles in her mouth.

The Mew Mews laughed at Kiki's little marble joke.

Then she tossed the Chinese check board to a pumpkin piñata. Leighton removed her blindfold and saw the candy. She didn't know how it happened, but is delighted that the candy is out. While everyone was eating candy, Ms. Benjamin came up and started reciting the Chinese poem, "Music Bureau," with leftover marbles in her mouth. Everyone laughed with the dance teacher, except Mrs. Georgeson who was annoyed by the eating and laughing at the same time.

Mrs. Georgeson was annoyed by Ms. Benjamin's weird behavior, but delighted that the students are having fun.

"Come on, lazy pants," Ms. Benjamin said to Mrs. Georgeson with a clear mouth. "Have some fun for once."

Not wanting to lose her job, Mrs. Georgeson decided to have some fun for once.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

At the cemetery, they could see the McCart Bat terrorizing the Dia De Los Muertos and the Hungry Ghost Festival.

"Ms. Benjamin told us about the Hungry Ghost Festival during our last ACS meeting," recalled Vada. "They say that their the Mexican and Chinese Halloween."

Mew Mew Chocolate got out her Striped Sword, Mew Mew Vanilla got out her Freezing Flute, Mew Mew Sundae got out her Illusion Staff, Mew Mew Cupcake got out her Sprinkle Frisbee, Mew Mew Dumpling got out her Crested Umbrella, Mew Mew Honey got out her Beary Bow Mew Mew Peanut Butter got out her Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly got out her Anartia Fans.

"Mini-Mews," whispered Mew Mew Honey, "find the monster while we fan out."

The Mini-Mews nodded their heads and flew off.

At one part of the cemetery the Mini-Mews were flying around when they spotted McCart Bat destroying some Chinese lanterns. Worried that Kiki would get upset about Chinese graves being disturbed, they attacked the monster with their monkey business. All together, Taro, Bok Choy, Congee, Won Ton, Lotus Leaf, Sichuan, Lo, and Mein continued monkeying around.

Just then, they could hear some tiger and bat voices. McCart Bat thought that the bat call was a mating call, so it followed the noise.

"Lǎohǔ hé biānfú!" The Mini-Mews said nervously. Little did they know was that it was Mew Mew Chocolate making the noises.

"You do really good tiger and bat impressions," commented Mew Mew Dumpling.

"It's amazing what loving in the moonlight and having a wonderful time can do," Chanel replied as McCart Bat barged in. "Now for the final call."

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

In a snap, McCart Bat turned back into a normal bat and flew off.

After McCart Bat left, the Mini-Mews came in to see the Mew Mews high fiving each other. "Dàshī! Dàshī!" shouted the Mini-Mews as they barged and hugged their respective owners.

"Détendez-vous Taro," Mew Mew Chocolate said as she calmed Taro down. "Those bat and tiger noises were me. I did this to lure that crazy chauve souris."

When they looked up, the Mini-Mews could see that the place was a mess. Using their flying and their ninja hoping, they placed the paper lanterns and the Chinese decor back up. "Xiūhǎole! Xiūhǎole!" they shouted excitedly.

Mew Mews Vanilla, Honey, Peanut Butter and Jelly could remember that Halloween was a time for costumes. So, they decided to make a surprise for them.

**XxoxX**

Back the party, they saw Mrs. Georgeson dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Seeing our heroes, she walked up to them in an excited mood. "Thanks to our new psycho dance teacher," explained Mrs. Georgeson, "she's really got me going for the party. I mean, my husband throws the craziest children's parties that I've never seen due to me constantly grading papers and attending lectures."

"Ms. Benjamin is full of surprises," admitted Harley.

After she left for the dance floor, the Mew Mews told the Mini-Mews to go to a candy bowl and Presley Beth would come to them when they were done.

**XxoxX**

Ten minutes later, Presley Beth lured the Mini-Mews with a candy apple covered in peanut butter. The Mini-Mews smelled the peanut butter candy apple and followed it to the arts and crafts table. Before they could eat it, Presley Beth and the whole thing. "Relax, partners," she said with her mouth full. "The real surprise is right here."

The Mew Mews showed the Mini-Mews a display of orange party hats with The Mew Mews' signature desserts. After they placed the hats on, they could hear footsteps. Quickly, they hit by a pumpkin.

There were Rodrigo and Curtis. They had came down dressed as a magician and Commander Taggert from "Galaxy Quest."

"Sorry we're late," said Rodrigo. "Curtis and I had to finish our homework."

"So, girls," Curtis said, "I heard that Ms. Benjamin got Mrs. Georgeson to relax. She's not the easiest teacher to impress here."

"I know," replied Vada. "Plus the way she broke that pinata with a Chinese checker board - killer!"

"Not as killer as this," Rodrigo replied as she waved his hand, revealing an Ace of Hearts and giving it to Saatvika.

Saatvika blushed by Rodrigo's magic act.

"Hey, Harley," Curtis replied. "Care to dance like Backstreet's back?"

"Sure, mate." answered Harley as she and her friends danced to Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."

Once they reached to the Everybody Rock Your Body chorus, Chanel popped out and did her dance moves, which everyone was amused by, including Deacon. Danna was jealous at first, but decided to join in since it's a party.

**The End.**

**Chapter 25: Primative Chaos**

On a quiet Saturday morning, Carla, Danna, and Harley were sleeping like doggies in a basket. When the alarm rang at 7am, the girls woke up. "Girls," said a semi-awaken Danna, "it has been nearly few weeks since we became Mew Mews, and things are crazy."

"I know," a semi-awaken Carla agreed. "A new dance teacher behaving like a monkey. Talk about bananas."

"What could be worse than dreaming that your teacher lives in your dorm?" Harley asked as she placed on her glasses.

"Having monkeys live in your dorm?" guessed Carla.

Danna and Harley didn't know what she meant, until they were fully wakened and they saw numerous monkeys live in their dorm. As they got out of their dorm, they saw their fellow Mew Mews with monkeys in their arms.

"Did you guys get monkeys in your dorm too?" asked Harley.

"We did," the rest of the Mew Mews did.

"We gotta get Ms. Benjamin fast," suggested Chanel. "Good thing she's grading our dance exams today."

**XxoxX**

In the dance room, Kiki was going through the notes. "Okay now," she said as she got out another piece of paper. "Charlotte Ashley is catching on with her leg stances, while Winter Rosales is falling a little bit behind with her spins. "

"Ms. Benjamin!" shouted Harley furiously. "What's the idea of leaving monkeys in our dorm?!"

"The monkey exibit is being fumigated. I know the zookeepers there and they asked me to look after them. Unfortuntaley, a certain someone could get jealous of visiting monkeys, so I decided to let them crash at your dorms."

"What?" asked the Mew Mews.

"But we can't let Dean Dennis see them," urged Presley Beth. "We're not allowed to have pets in school unless their in a cage or guide dogs."

"Now, now," replied a familiar voice. "Is everyone here for Saturday detention?"

Outside the dance room, they could see Coach Landon with a bunch of troubled students, including Lilith and her gang. Ms. Benjamin explained that Coach Landon was running Saturday Detention this week, just so she could give kids discipline.

Thinking quickly, Carla and Harley decided to play a little practical joke on her. Tip-toeing towards her, they replaced the roll call list with a fake one Carla did, just incase of an emergency. Looking at the Saturday detention list, Coach Landon started the roll call. "Anita Bath?" the coach asked as the detention kids laughed.

"Okay, okay." groaned Coach Landon. "Stew Pid Teacher?"

The students laughed like hyenas, then Coach Landon turned her head to see the ACS giggling. Knowing that it was against the rules to prank a teacher, Coach Landon decided to give them Saturday detention as well.

"I see Paris, I see France, I see Cranky's underpants!" shouted Harley as Coach Landon turned her head. THe coach tried to catch her, but she missed and landed in a janitor's bucket.

"Oh, great," groaned the janitor. "Now I'll have to clean this up again."

Angry as a bull, Coach Landon ran towards them and Danna and Chanel grabbed her by the arms.

"See, Coach Landon?" chuckled Ms. Benjamin, "Saturday is about having fun and making friends, not running weekend detentions."

"Well," growled Coach Landon, "Dean Dennis will not tolerate this."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile on his ship, Poach McCartnet was going over what monkey to poach. Just then, he picked up signals of Ms. Benjamin's little monkey business. There he got an idea.

Sneaky as a fox, he got out a McCart Bug, the bug flew down to earth, bit one of the monkeys, and it turned into a monster.

**XxoxX**

In the cafeteria, they were learning how to make their own Chinese dumplings when they heard thumping outside.

While Ms. Benjamin was escorting the children to the dining area, she winked at the Mew Mews and they know what to do.

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

They found McCart Monkey causing havoc while the others mimicked his moves because monkey see, monkey do.

Using their ninja hops, the Mew Mews spotted McCart Monkey and then got an idea. "I See Paris, I See Frace, I See Monkey's Underpants!" shouted McCart Monkey.

McCart Monkey heard the noise and followed Mew Mew Honey. "Everyone split up!" she shouted. "That'll distract McCart Monkey!"

In the boys' dorm, Mew Mew Chocolate had a feeling that if she could lead ontop of the fan and at the right time, she could grab a few monkeys and trapped them in a laundry basket. And sure enough, she was right. The boys from the boys' dorms saw her and flirted with her. However, she did a somersault and ran off, leaving them confused.

**XxoxX**

In the school's gymnasium, Mew Mews Dumpling, Peanut Butter, and Jelly found a few monkeys. Peanut Butter closed her wings, and Jelly opened her own wings. Remembering from her books, Dumpling remembered that cockatoos were really loud. With a loud cockatoo call, she grabbed the eyes of the monkeys playing with the dodge balls. Within five seconds, Peanut Butter and Jelly grabbed a net and wrapped the monkeys around it.

"Like cockatoos," smiled Dumpling, "monkeys want attention."

**XxoxX**

Mew Mews Cupcake and Honey were grabbing all the school supplies from the school store. Gently, Cupcake placed the items back where they were with her Sprinkle Frisbee. After the last item was placed, they needed a way to get McCart Monkey. Thinking quickly, Honey got an idea. "I see Paris I see France, I see Cranky's Underpants!" she shouted as McCart Monkey spotted her. "Quick, Cupcake!" she shouted. "To the rec room!"

**XxoxX**

In the rec room, Mew Mew Sundae was using her chameleon eyes to look for the monkeys. By the snack bar, she spotted them eating the food. Using her Freezing Flute, Mew Mew Vanilla lured the musical monkeys to the crafts table, where they started doing some drawings. Using her hearing, Vanilla could hear Honey and McCart Monkey coming. "Sundae!" shouted Vanilla. "Have you ever heard of Saturday Morning cartoons?"

"Yeah," replied Sundae. "Snooper Dawg, Paula Poundcake, and Frida the Fox; that was my mom's favorite cartoon growing up."

"In some stories," Vanilla replied, "foxes are real tricksters. I've got an idea."

As soon as McCart Monkey came in, Mew Mew Sundae used her camoflauge skills and grabbed him. The rest of the Mew Mews came in and it was time for the final call.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that McCart Monkey changed back into a normal monkey.

"Nice job, Mew Mews!" shouted Miss. Benjamin. "Not only you saved the detention kids from being bullies, but from the school from turning into a monkey cage. Don't worry about the detention kids. Dean Dennis was thrilled about the prank you guys pulled and decided to let them participate in an educational film about bears in the conference room."

"Cool," Mew Mew Honey said as she changed back to normal. "I hear that bears dig up for food and catch fish with their mouths. Figure that they needed Saturday detention to be informative. Speaking of informative lectures, you are going to lecture us on super transportation."

"But what about the monkeys?" asked Vada, "We don't want them wrecking the school again?"

"I got this." answered Miss. Benjamin as she used a monkey whistle as all the monkeys rushed up to her.

**XxoxX**

Later, Ms. Benjamin was lecturing the girls and the monkeys on superhero transportation. "Besides suit-up cars, jets, cycles, choppers, boats and flying," she said, "we hop from place to place. Other uses of superhero transportation are teleportation, broomstick rides, hover boards, jetpacks, rocket shoes, creating portals, riding animals, or super speed."

The girls and the monkeys applauded for Ms. Benjamin's lecture. Looking at their superhero homework, she was pleased with the results. "Nice job on your superhero studies." she commented, "The National Supers Agency informed me that new supers like you girls should get homework that's fun like learning how to be a superhero. And what do you do if anyone asks?"

"Tell them that we're writing stories for Mew Mew Power!" shouted the Mew Mews.

**The End**

**Chapter 26: And Your Little Dog Too**

At the mall, Chanel, Danna, and Harley were coming out of the candy store when they spotted a sign.

*Kansas City's JR Dog Show.*

Danna recalled this as an annual dog show placed at a shopping mall. Just as they were about to leave, they spotted their rival Lilith with a small dog. "What are you doing here, Lilith?" asked Danna. "Besides being a total loser."

"If you Three Stooges must know, I'm entering my Moonrise into the dog show. With the prize money i'm going spend it all on new clothes."

"Didn't you already did your clothing shopping last week?" asked Chanel.

"I did," answered Lilith. "But they're so last week." In her dog carrier, she had a small Chihuahua witha black diamond crusted cooler.

"That's Moonrise?" asked Chanel. "This is an insult to the 'Twilight' movies."

"Chanel," replied Vada, "be nice!"

"Of course," replied Lilith. "The school doesn't usually allow pets, but I'm letting her come just for the competition. Ta-ta!"

Once she left, Danna spotted Mavis with two little kids and a pair of Dalmatians by a Velossi's. "Mavis!" she shouted, and Mavis turned her head.

"Girls!" shouted Mavis. "What brings you four here?"

"Trying out a new shipment of Wonkapalooza Peanut Bars," explained Harley, "now with ten times the flavor."

"This is my niece Leanna and nephew Layne," Mavis explained back. "Also, let's not forget their pet dogs, Jacobina and Edwina."

"Those are the names of two characters from 'Twlight'," asked Chanel, "but in a female variant?"

Mavis nodded her head. Then she explained to them that their visiting from Overland Park to enter the contest. "People say that they should just let Jacobina and Edwina stay at a firefighters," she explained. "It's true about their dad, who's my brother is a firefighter, but I think they can do better than that."

"You're right," agreed Danna.

"Another thing," Harley replied. "Lilith is entering for new clothes money."

"But she has more clothes than at Macy's," replied Mavis.

"Don't worry," whispered Danna to her friends. "Ms. Benjamin caught Lilith tossing out her old clothes while going around the security room for any footage of us transforming. She washed them at the Laundromat and has decided to donate those old clothes to the thrift stores in Wichita."

"That was very brave of her," Harley whispered.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Crossni was sneaking around a Disney store when she spots Lilith teasing a grown-up Disney fanatic. Little did Lilith know was that she left Moonrise unattended. This gave Crossni a chance to turn it into a monster. Within fifteen seconds, Moonrise turned into a monster.

**XxoxX**

At the dog show, everyone was getting ready to compete when they heard rumbling by the Disney Store. "You guys handle the McCart monster," whispered Mavis. "I'm going to take Leanna and Layne to safety."

With quick nods, Chanel, Danna, Honey, and Vada rushed to the scene of the crime.

*Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Vanilla, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Once they found McCart Dog wrecking a cellphone stand, they tried to take it down with their sword, umbrella, bow, and flute. Unfortunately, they were stopped by Crossni, "Come on," she smiled. "Dogs just wanna have fun."

\*Fun,\* Mew Mew Honey thought to herself as she spots a marble rack.

With a quick shot, Mew Mew Honey aimed for the shelf. All the marbles rolled down, and Cossni rolled around the marbles and landed in a pile of dirty socks, much to the Mew Mews' enjoyment.

"Now that's a chocolate vanilla dumpling dash," joked Mew Mew Vanilla. "Now let's glaze some honey on this doggy."

"Let me handle this," suggested Mew Mew Dumpling. "I know about animals more than any of you."

"But I also know a lot about food," replied Mew Mew Vanilla. "Use this chocolate bar to stop that dog. One time a stray dog at a candy bar on the ground near the soup shop and it got sick."

With a quick baseball swing, she batted it to McCart Dog's mouth, much to his disgust.

"You know what comes next, girls!" shouted Mew Mew Honey.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

After McCart changed back to Moonrise, Lilith arrived in a sad look "Moonrise!" she shouted Lilith. "Those mean Mew Mews poisoned you. Now I'll never win that 20,000 dollars!"

"Sorry you had to see that, ma'am," Mew Mew Vanilla replied, "but it was the only way we get to save your cat."

"Plus, you should be more appreciate of what clothes you have," replied Mew Mew Chocolate. "And don't spend all your money at once."

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later, once the dog show was fixed up, Chanel, Vada, Danna, and Honey. Harley was comforting Edwina with a jacket.

"I love your sun-jacket, Har," Mavis commented.

"Thanks," Harley replied as she adjusted with glasses. "My older sister gave this to me off of the Tipton Fashion Company."

"I didn't know that your sister shops Tipton styles," Chanel replied. "She's popular in France."

"I know," replied Vada. "And she was on the cover on numerous fashion magazine."

As they were talking about London Tipton, Danna could see that the turntable being destroyed and they don't have a musical act for the fashion show. "Vada," she asked, "did you bring your flute?"

"Of course," answered Vada. "I just got it tuned up."

"Then we just got a gig."

Using the keyboard, Danna played fashion music while Vada joined in. Observing their friends, Harley could tell that their being the new musical act for the fashion. Mavis was afraid that the manager wouldn't be okay with this, but "The Show Must Go On."

**XxoxX**

After forty five minutes of observing dogs, they declared Leanna and Layne the winners for their doggy acrobats and their Jacob Black calls.

"Congrats, you two," Harley said to them. "You won the contest."

"Now with the prize money," Leanna replied, "we can use it to repaint the house, buy a new sofa, and four months worth of dog food and toys."

"I'm so proud of you both," Mavis tearfully said. "And all it took was being yourself."

"Thanks, Aunt Mavis," greeted Leanna as she and Layne hugged their aunt.

**The End.**

**Chapter 27: Lion In A Mew Mew**

It was a pleasant Saturday afternoon. The ACS was outside the studio. The air was cold, and Chanel, Vada, Saatvika, Carla, Harley, Presley Beth, and Julianna were all bundled up in their winter clothes.

"Thank for for this Saturday Mew Mew meeting," greeted Kiki. "Today, we're going to have a water balloon fight. We're not doing it at the school, because Dean Dennis hates getting sued for safety violations."

"Why are we having this water balloon fight?" asked Harley. "It's the middle of winter."

"I know, girls," Ms. Benjamin repliedm "but I thought we could have a private ice skating party, just as long as we clean up the rubber balloons so animals won't choke on them."

Since they knew that Ms. Benjamin was all about fun, they decided to participate.

When they left the room, they saw Leighton feeling glum. She explained to them that her boyfriend Leopold broke up with her after believing that his scholarship to Julliard was more important than her. To cheer her up, they decided to bring her to their private party.

**XxoxX**

Out by Ms. Benjamin's home, they cleared the path, tossed water balloons on it, and slipped and slide away. In order to avoid car troubles, she placed her car on the road. Rapidly, Leighton and the Mew Mews got in on the water balloon fight. Quietly, the Mini-Mews placed the rubber balloon pieces and placed them in the trash when started sensing something. "Diànyǐng! Diànyǐng! (Movie! Movie!)" they shouted.

Leighton believed that she was hearing things, because she was fluent in Chinese thanks to her Chinese-speaking lessons. "My sources tell me that Worldwide Studios is filming right here in this neighborhood for the Chinese dance film 'Step it Shirong', featuring former 'Let's All Dance Until We're Sick' backup dancer/contestant Wan Shirong."

"He's the one who masters that sparkler routine without activating the fire alarm, right?" asked Saatvika.

"That's him," replied Leighton.

Danna then remembered that she had to do a grammar report on how movies were written. So she and Leighton decided to leave the ice skating party to check out the filming.

**XxoxX**

By a suburban home, they spotted a stunning Chinese man. He was Wan Shirong. Not wanting to get in trouble, Danna and Leighton placed on kung fu dance outfits. Unfortunately, the director thought they were real extras and casted them into the movie. Quickly, Won Ton flew from Danna's hat and flew away to warn the others.

Little did anyone know was that Arethra and Crossni was going around disguised as doughnut girls. "So, they think they can make an Asian version of 'Dirty Dancing'? They're wrong," whispered Crossni as she ate a moldy cruller.

"Save some moldy doughnuts for me," Arethra replied.

**XxoxX**

Back at the Benjamins' residence, everyone was cleaning up the rubbery balloons when Won Ton came in shouted, "Cuòwù! Cuòwù!"

"Mistake?" translated Ms. Benjamin. "Wait a sec - you're telling me that Danna and Leighton got mistaken for extras for the film and now they're going to be shot \*in\* the film?"

Won Ton quickly nodded its head.

"What are we waiting around for?" said Saatvika. "We gotta get them back!"

**XxoxX**

Later, they arrived to the house where "Step It Shirong" was being filmed when they came across a lion. The girls got scared, but Ms. Benjamin tamed it with a little whip and recognized him Jasiah, a famous lion actor.

"I can't believe that filmmakers would bring a real lion to a real house for a movie," said Harley.

"From my experience as a Bollywood star," Saatvika explained, "you don't always have to be at a television studio with plywood sets. They sometimes go to actual places, just so they can make the movie and show look real."

Now all that was left was to figure out a way to sneak in. Using their acting skills, Vada, Saatvika, and Harley snuck into the set disguised as dancers while the rest of the team snuck through the back to find Leighton and Danna.

Inside, Vada was distracting the director by reading out a scene from "Sherlock"'s "The Hounds of Baskerville." While looking around the place, Danna and Leighton spotted Ms. Benjamin and a few of their friends sneaking around when a security guard walked behind them. Danna tilted her head, telling them to turn around non-verbally.

Ms. Benjamin turned her head, only to find the unpleasant security guard. "What are you ladies doing here?" he demanded.

"We're here to get our friends out of the movie set," answered Ms. Benjamin.

Unfortuately, the guard replied, "I've heard that before."

Before he could kick them off the set, the Mini-Mews whispered, "Weixian! Weixian!"

Lo and Mein blinded the guard with their fuzzy bodies while they projected Jasiah turning into McCart Lion. From inside, Danna told Leighton to go find Saatvika, Vada, and Harley.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

Outside the studio, the six Mew Mews fought off the gentically altered lion scaring with their animal instincts. Seeing the water faucet, Mew Mew Cupcake got an idea. "I got it," she said. "Another water balloon fight?"

They all nodded their heads in agreement. Quickly, Mew Mew Cupcake grabbed some balloons, filled them with water, and tossed giant water balloons to McCart Lion. "Don't you know cats don't like water?" asked Mew Mew Dumpling. "They prefer to lick themselves."

"Now for the final call!" shouted Mew Mew Cupcake.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Lion turned back into Jasiah. found outside the and lured him with some lion treats.

Right on time, the actual dancers who were suppose to show up was amazed by the special effects and how they tamed Jasiah. From the door, the director came out with an annoyed face. "Those strange backup dancers can't stop bugging me with their 'Hounds of Baskerville' act," he complained. "I don't even like Shakespeare."

"Sorry we're late," said one dancer. "We got caught in traffic."

The director was surprised that the real backup dancers were showing up tardy. He was so frustrated by the confusion, he didn't notice that the Mew Mews were leaving.

**XxoxX**

Two days later, everyone was talking about "Stepping It Shirong" having a little lion shenanigans. Leighton and the ACS were playing poker when they heard about what was going on. "We were lucky we returned the costumes and snuck out of the set before the director noticed," Harley said.

"To bad we never got to see them direct the film nor get a report," Danna said.

"Yes, we do," Leighton replied. "After most of you left to go back to ACS, I did an interview with Saatvika. She is a Bollywood star, after all, and thanks to her I've got an A+ on my report."

"Congrats, Leigh," smiled Harley. "That's show biz."

**The End**

**Chapter 28: Bonnie and The Trumpeter Swans**

On a clear Thursday night, Ms. Benjamin and Mavis were arriving at a late-60s/early-70s themed dance club. "Here we are girls. Club Dove," Ms. Benjamin said. "Mavis and I go here to work on a few dance moves.

"Groovy," commented Saatvika. "I look like something from 'Hair'."

"Really?" asked Mavis. "Usually people dress like something from 'Saturday Night Fever'."

**XxoxX**

When they got inside, they saw the DJ playing '90s music instead. "Are they playing that lousy '90s rap, 'Homework's Whack'?" asked Mavis, "It's been banned from most schools for being disrespectful."

Ms. Benjamin didn't want her best friend to get annoyed, so she did cartwheels to the jukebox, placed five quarters in it and played songs from the '70s band Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans. Little did she know was that she accidentally knocked over a customer old lady. Mavis helped her up, but the customer walked away and headed off to the information booth.

"I like to see the manager," complained a customer. "Some crazy monkey cartwheeled to the jukebox and played '70s on the jukebox."

"Bonnie," said the worker, "Kiki is at it again."

"What is it, Yareli?" shouted the elderly African-American lady. "I'm in the middle of balancing checkbooks!"

Chanel and Saatvika were confused by the lady. "That's Bonnie Macias," explained Mavis, "former lead singer of Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans. I have all her records. I use a record player mostly cause nobody remembers them anymore."

Observing the jukebox, Danna quickly recognized some of the songs.

*One Nation*

*The Level*

*Atlantic Flower*

"I remember hearing these songs at the pet shop," Danna recalled. "My step-dad is a huge fond of them."

"I don't know about these Trumpeter Swans," Chanel replied as she staired at Danna, "but swans do mean romance."

Danna blushed and decided that they should go up to Ms. Benjamin and Mavis. "Bonnie Macias?" she asked. "I'm Danna Coste. This is my friend, Chanel Proulx."

After Chanel waved, she looked down at her. Remembering the autism spectrum programs, Ms. Benjamin told Bonnie that she had autism. Then she told her that it's good to use the jukebox again.

"It sure is," admitted Bonnie. "But unfortunately, nobody remembers our songs."

Just then, the DJ started playing Zanzibar's "What Do It Do." Not wanting more '80s and '90s troubles, Bonnie told them to leave ASAP.

"Hey," Ms. Benjamin replied, "Maybe you can come to Meredith's Masterpiece tomorrow to show us your bond with Meredith."

"I remember that old girl," recalled Bonnie. "Painter for Kansas City patrons."

In the kitchen, Taro and Won Ton were going around eating all the pickles. Taro, Won Ton, and the other Mew Mews may've been robots, but they were programmed to have big appetites in case the cafeteria has overstocked on food. "Chī! Chī!" they shouted as they continued eating the pickles.

Sensing that their owners are leaving the park, they decided to leave too.

**XxoxX**

Later that night, Bonnie was going through her scrapbook of the times that she was lead singer. It also featured three other African-American woman, including Meredith Rakes, Mavis's art mentor. Back in those days, Meredith played the drums. "Well, Mer," she said to the picture, "your art student is going to take me to your shop for marketing. I was never an expert in '80s-through-modern-day marketing, but I do want our band to be remembered."

**XxoxX**

Next afternoon, Chanel, Saatvika, Danna, and Harley were heading off to Meredith's Masterpiece for their little meeting with Bonnie. "Too bad Vada, Carla, and the twins can't come due to a cooking bake at a local bakery," replied Harley. "When Pres learned that they were doing PBnJ cookies, she had to go."

"So, Chan," whispered Saatvika, "I heard you getting jiggy with Danna last night a little."

Chanel blushed and turned her head. "I don't know you mean," she replied.

"Come on," whispered Saatvika. "I know you like here."

"Um, girls," interrupted Danna, "we're here."

Inside, they saw Mavis and Bonnie preparing ginger cake and ice tea. "It's good to see you again," Bonnie said to them. "And you brought Heroic Harley and Superstar Saatvika."

On the table, Mavis got out a song. "Here's an old song I wrote for my brother and sisters when I was in high school." she explained.

"I didn't know you were a songwriter," admitted Harley.

"Yeah, well," Mavis replied, "I was a paid lyricist for a local group called Lacey and the Mind Arcade. Broke up after high school cause of separate colleges. In fact, I kept all of their songs to this day."

Observing the lyrics and notes carefully, Danna started singing the song "Violet Iris."

*Violet Iris is a silent being*

*and a fairy that's worth seeing*

*The eyes show her inner side*

*With wolf in sheep clothing pride*

*Violet Iris can say that looks can be deceiving*

*But her sketches and scribbles are worth leaving.*

After that, Chanel, Saatvika, Danna, and Harley laughed, but it wasn't laughing \*at\* her, it was laughing \*with\* her.

"You think it's funny?" Mavis asked.

"I don't mind silly songs," smiled Harley. "When I was a kid, I use to listen to 'Silly Songs with Larry from Veggie Tales.' My favorite is when they did the Bubble Rap."

**Xxoxx**

At the Granada Theater, Crossni and Elthunt were seeing a field trip from the Wichita Dance Academy while disguised as journalists. They were going to theater so they could see how Swan Lake has been done. Seeing that the dancers for the show had a real swan, Crossni sent out a bug and turned the swan into McCart Swan. "This is better than Poach filling my quarters with feathers," she said to herself quietly.

**XxoxX**

Back at Meredith's Masterpiece, Bonnie was having a hard time on how to let fans remember her songs. Remembering that she has her own Facetube and Viewtube account, Danna suggested that she should sing along with them on their next webisode. "I've never done an online gig before," admitted Bonnie. "I'm in."

Then all of the sudden, the Mini-Mews detected danger by the Granada Theater. They couldn't let Bonnie find out that they were Mew Mews, so they told her to fix up a cheeseburger casserole. "Okay," she said. "Club Dove is famous for my cheeseburger casseroles."

After she left, Ms. Benjamin and Mavis told them to go while they'd distract her.

*Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Elthunt dreadfully played his keytar was while Crossni danced like she's in an '80s workout video. Next to them, Elthunt had records out of his songs, hoping he could sell them at the theater. The field trippers and the dancers, on the other hand, were too scared of McCart Swan destroying the place.

"I don't know which is worst," groaned a dancer, "the terrible keytar music or that monster swan destroying the place."

"Looks like you got your money for nothing!" shouted Mew Mew Honey.

"This gives me a hole in my heart, Elthunt," admitted Crossni. "These human girls are going to unhook our stars."

"Not before I take them not feel the love tonight!" Elthunt shouted as he continued playing his keytar terribly.

Mew Mew Sundae got out her Illusion Staff, Mew Mew Chocolate got out her Striped Sword, Mew Mew Dumpling got out her Crested Umbrella, and Mew Mew Honey got out the Beary Bow. Unfortunately, they were no match for Elthunt's awful music.

"This sounds like nails on a chalkboard," growled Mew Mew Chocolate, "and not the good kind."

"His music is worse than Devo!" admitted Mew Mew Sundae.

Once Harley turned her head, she spotted a bubble wrap truck knocked over and bubble wrap all over the ground.

"Remember what you said about bubble wrap?" asked Mew Mew Honey. "Let's pop some wrap!"

They didn't hear her because of the loud keytar, but got they trusted her.

Quickly, they drowned out Elthunt's off-key music with their bubble wrap power. McCart Swan was so annoyed by the bubble wrap popping, it slipped on some hot cocoa from a hot cocoa kart and landed in a pile of Elthunt John records. It also unintentionally unplugged Elthunt's keyar to his space amps. Mew Mews Chocolate, Sundae, Danna, and Honey were delighted because not only did they get to stop the monster but no one would here the lousy records ever again.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Within three seconds, McCart Swan turned back into a normal swan. Everyone cheered for the Mew Mews.

"Looks like we got some groupies," suggested Mew Mew Sundae.

Not wanting to disappoint their fans, they gave out autographs to the WDA field trip students. "How come they give out autographs and we don't?" Crossni asked in jealousy. "We're the stars!"

"Maybe we should sell my records on Junoia," suggested Elthunt. "I know an alien there."

They teleported off while the Mew Mews gave out autographs.

**XxoxX**

Later that evening, they were joining Bonnie, Kiki, and Mavis for burger casserole.

"This is some burger casserole," Saatvika commented. "It's nothing compared to my family's beef curry."

"And it's better than that fois gras I had back in Paris," replied Chanel. "My mom invited some friends over and one of them lacked in cooking duck."

"So, Bonnie," said Harley, "what do you think about doing your first ever online gig on Danna's channel?"

With one big smile, Bonnie agreed to appear on their next webisode. "We got to warn you," Danna smiled back. "Our webisode is going to take a wild field trip."

**XxoxX**

The next day at the monkey exhibit at Kansas City Zoo, Danna was playing guitar, Chanel played tambourine, and Kiki, Saatvika and Harley danced the night away for some monkeys. "Okay, monkeys!" shouted Kiki. "Are you ready to rock?!"

All the monkeys in the exhibit jumped up and down for the performance of the ACS, otherwise known as Mew Mew Infinity. "Now put your monkey paws together for former Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans singer, Bonnie Macias!"

While the monkeys were rooting, Kiki and Mavis were live streaming the performance. With one sigh, Bonnie started to sing their smash hit, "One Nation."

*Bang all the cymbals up and down*

*Because here comes the trumpeting crown*

*Get ready to sing at the crack of dawn*

*For Bonnie and The Trumpeter Swans*

*We are One Nation*

*It will be a moonlight sensation*

*Coming from a lake of Imagination*

*We are One Nation*

*Prepare for the One Nation*

*We'll be at the Montana destination*

*With all the trumpet preparation*

*For the One Nation.*

In the end, everyone cheered for Bonnie and the ACS.

**The End**

**Chapter 29: Phanture Perfect**

On a lovely sunny morning, Looking at her calendar, Julianna could tell that today was pictures and she needed to get her twin sister up. Opening a Rainbow Munchies cereal bar, Presley Beth woke up. She and her sister were in such a rush for picture day, they had their clothes mixed up a little.

"Eww," groaned Julianna. "Do you ever wash your clothes?"

"Y'all know I wash mine three times a month," Presley Beth replied. "I can't resist mud stains. And what is with these scented skirts?"

"That was from a local clothing store back in Tennessee," recalled Julianna.

"Oh, yeah," recalled Presley Beth. "Petunia's Posh Place. That place is lame."

"I only go there whenever there's a clearance of clothes," Julianna growled, "You know how expensive they can be sometimes."

"Come on, sis," replied Presley Beth. "We're going to be late for class."

**XxoxX**

Later, at the zoo, elementary school children were feeding an elephant as part of trip on zoology. Little did they know, Elthunt and Arethra were spying on them while disguised as koala bear mascots. From his keytar, Elthunt summoned a McCart Bug. The bug came up, bit the elephant, and it turned into a monster. The kids thought it was all part of the act, but the zoo keepers quickly escorted them to safety while the McCart Monster wreaked havoc.

**XxoxX**

After lunch, the girls were waiting to be called up for their pictures by reading a scent shopping catalog. "I should get this lime scented pillow for my pen pal Khaleesi," Carla suggested. "She just loves lime-scented stuff."

"Maybe I should get the grape scented scarves," suggested Julianna. "Need to keep my neck warm."

While the Mini-Mews were smelling the scented magazine, they started sensing danger. "Weixian! Weixian!" they shouted.

Knowing this, there was trouble nearby. Saatvika, Harley, Presley Beth, and Julianna decided to go because Carla, Danna, Chanel, and Vada had to take their pictures soon.

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

When they arrived at the zoo, Mew Mews Sundae, Honey, Peanut Butter and Jelly spotted McCart Elephant hogging up all the peanuts from a peanut stand. Mew Mew Sundae got out her Illusion Staff, Mew Mew Honey got out her Beary Bow, Mew Mew Peanut Butter got out her Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly got out her Anartia Fans.

"I see a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, and a needle that winks its eye," said Mew Mew Sundae. "But I've just seen about everything when I see a monster elephant." The other Mew Mews laughed at Sundae's little joke.

"Where did y'all learn that chant?" asked Mew Mew Peanut Butter.

"Ms. Benjamin met a few jazz crows while visiting a circus one time," explained Mew Mew Sundae. "They sang it to a elephant born with really large ears."

"That's right, Sundae!" shouted Ms. Benjamin from behind as Sundae, Honey, Peanut Butter, and Jelly became startled.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Benjamin?" asked Mew Mew Honey.

"Since I finished my lunch and took my picture yesterday," answered Ms. Benjamin, "I thought I could go to the new cement filling here and I can leave my handprints in."

The Mew Mews thought it was crazy and too much like her, but this did give them an idea. Using a Mew Mew scented magazine, Mew Mew Peanut Butter got to the page where they had a peanut butter scented Towel. McCart Elephant smelled the magazine and she followed it to the cement whole and got her feet stuck.

"Now let's put this space elephant on parade," Mew Mew Sundae suggested.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And soon enough, McCart Elephant turned back into a normal elephant and was free from the cement trap. "Way to go, Mew Mews!" shouted Ms. Benjamin.

Arethra and Elthunt were annoyed because the Mew Mews foiled their evil plans again. "We better get back to the ship before Poach short sheets Crossni's bed again," whispered Arethra as they teleported back to the ship.

The Mew Mews quickly changed back into their regular forms before anyone suspected. Congee, Lotus Leaf, Lo, and Mein grabbed the magazine and started smelling the magazine. "Mew Mew Magazine had to be scented so it can sell," Harley said to her teacher.

"You know the Mew Mew Organization," replied Ms. Benjamin. "They always love making stuff smell. I always loved the banana scented artifacts."

"That's because your fused with monkey DNA," recalled Saatvika.

Turning their heads, they could see Presley Beth and Julianna admiring each other's clothes. "This may be a little torn and muddy," Julianna replied, "but it's perfect. It symbolizes my love for my sister."

"And this skirt with the purple flowers and the strong smelling perfume really reminds me of my love for Julianna," Presley Beth admitted.

"Forget the cement thingy, girls," Ms. Benjamin replied with a big monkey smile. "We should get you four back before you have to take a picture-retake day." Everyone agreed.

**XxoxX**

Back at CKH, Presley Beth and Julianna got their pictures taken by the photographer. The two of them didn't care how imperfect their school pictures are - they were just glad that they were twin sisters.

**The End.**

**Note: The chant about a peanut stand and a rubber band is a reference to the 40s movie Dumbo. It was also used in My Life As A Teenage Robot when The Lancer made fun of Jenny's giant ears by saying "I've seen a peanut stand, and heard a rubber band. I've seen a needle that winked its eye. But I've never seen an elephant-eared robot girl!" Another mention is made when Mew Mew Sundae said to put the 'Space elephant on parade', which is a homage to Pink Elephants on Parade.**

**Chapter 30: Mix and Flamingo Machine**

Danna was coming out of the pet shelter, \*Another day at the pet shelter,\* she thought to herself. Just then, she got a text from Chanel about the hangout tomorrow night. Danna was so busy texting Chanel, she unintentionally stepped on the wrong bus. As soon as she was done with her text, she looked up and saw abandoned and dangerous building.

"I think i'm on the wrong bus," she said to the driver.

After she got off the bus, she saw numerous criminals everywhere. Remembering from the crime movies that her step-father watched all the time, she turned her phone off so she won't have it destroyed, "What is this?" she asked.

"This is a movie production," explained the Italian-American director wearing posh clothing, Gunnar Accardi. "You may know me from my film, 'Twin Mountains'."

"I've heard of it," Danna replied, "but I never saw it. My step-father is the person that destroyed your career."

Annoyed by what Danna said, he decided to cast her as one of the henchmen for the villain. The henchmen were planning to take all the stolen jewels from the abandoned jewlery store and sell them at the black market.

\*Of course that girl thinks it's all a movie,\* Gunnar thought evilly. \*It turns out the whole thing is real.\*

Little did they know was that the main camera man was getting annoyed by Gunnar's rudeness. In order to save Danna from getting involved in his schemes, he decided to secretly livestream the crime to her friends.

**XxoxX**

Chanel, Carla, Harley, and Saatvika were doing a jigsaw puzzle of the Haitian flag when Chanel started to feel sad, because Danna never came, "Where's Danna?" asked Harley. "She was suppose to be back an hour ago."

"I know, right?" Carla replied. "She's got that math test tommorow, and we don't want her to get at least one F. Otherwise it's back to Haiti."

"I know," replied Danna as she started daydreaming. "They way her eyes dazzle at me and how she serenades the stars."

Harley, Carla, and Saatvika were a bit confused by Chanel's behavior. Just then, Harley got a notification from her Viewtube channel. There was a new livestream from one of the henchmen, "She's in the bad part of Kansas City!" exclaimed Harley. "I recognize some of the buildings from the travel sites!"

"What are we going to do?" asked Carla.

"Chanel and I will go," Saatvika suggested. "Chanel cares about her deeply. I've read about it in her diary and learned French in middle school."

"Good idea, Saatvika," replied Harley. "You are the cinema expert, and Chanel has been close to Danna since we came here."

Chanel was annoyed that Saatvika peaked into her diary, but was more desperate about Danna's safety.

*Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

When Mew Mew Chocolate and Sundae got to the bad part of Kansas City, they started to look for their friend, "So," Mew Mew Sundae said, "you really think Danna is smokin'?"

"Yes," Mew Mew Chocolate admitted. "It's not Declan i'm hitting on, it's Danna. I've been crushing on her since we first came here. The way she took care of those animals at the pet shelter and how she beats those drums."

"You could've told me sooner," Mew Mew Sundae suggested. "We're your friends."

Mew Mew Chocolate looked at Sundae and smiled. "You guys are the first friends I actually had," she replied. "Back in Paris, everyone thought I was a freak."

"We don't think your a freak," admitted Mew Mew Sundae. "Who else can master Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? Plus you helped me with my sewing homework when the teacher assigned me a dark ages project. It was awesome. You are full of inspirations."

"Merci," replied Mew Mew Chocolate.

**XxoxX**

At the Golden Bridge jewelry shop, they spotted some filming equipment. They had to hide fast, so Mew Mew Sundae used her chameleon instincts to make her and Chocolate blend in, "These costumes are so cool," Danna commented as she looked at her biker outfit.

"Okay now," Gunnar replied. "In this scene, the Mossy Cobble crew sneak into this very jewelry store and steal all the jewelry. Then they head off for the van and make their getaway."

Before he had a chance to say "action," Mew Mew Chocolate let go of Mew Mew Sundae and barged up to them, "You're not a real movie crew," she recalled. "You're the Flamingo Freaky Fiends. Seen your wanted posters at the Paris Zoo."

"She knows too much," growled Gunnar to his crew. "Run!"

Before they had a chance to leave, Danna looked at them in anger and decided that she should power up.

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis!*

Just as Gunnar and his crew were about to escape, Mew Mew Dumpling blocked them. "Don't you dare hurt that girl," she growled. "She's delicate."

Mew Mew Chocolate and Mew Mew Sundae were relieved because Mew Mew Dumpling didn't use "me" or "I"; otherwise she'd blow her cover, "Why bother?" chuckled Gunnar. "Girls don't like horror movies."

"Are you sure?" asked Mew Mew Chocolate and she pounced by Dumpling's hand "Because, this is the last dance."

Taking Mew Mew Dumpling's hand, they waltzed their way to distract the criminals. Quickly, Mew Mew Sundae returned the stolen bags, and then she made an illusion of the bags with her illusion staff. After Mew Mews Chocolate and Dumpling made them dizzy, Sundae looked them and said, "It looks like everything is dancing."

Mew Mew Chocolate explained that she had to stop Gunnar without violence, so perhaps a waltz around them till they got dizzy would stop them. "Speaking of getting dizzy," said Saatvika, "we better get back to CKH before Dean Dennis gets dizzy about our tardiness."

As they left, the same man who showed them the footage of their theft came in. He explained to Gunnar that he recognized Danna from her music tutorial videos. He figured that if he showed a livestream to one of her friends, they could find and help them.

"Omari!" yelled Gunnar. "You betrayed us after six years of mutiny!"

"I'm sorry," snapped Omari "but I'm tired of driving for him. In fact I'm not much of a driver. So, I'm going to suspend my driver's license and go back to my parents' filmmaking shop in Paris."

After Gunnar left, the police came and arrested him and his crew.

**XxoxX**

Our heroes arrived in the nick of time before curfew.

"By the way," Danna said to Chanel, "that was some great waltzing you did."

Hearing the words from Danna's mouth, Chanel blushed. She was about to profess her feelings, but then she looked at the clock and realized that it was her bedtime. Saatvika was a little disappointed that Chanel didn't profess her feelings, but was glad they were back in time for curfew.

The End.

**Chapter 31: The Meadowlark Magic**

During cooking class, Vada was learning how to make a noodle machine when she got a text from Ms. Benjamin. Knowing that they don't allow personal texts during texts. She decided to wait until after class to get it.

By one desk, two students were talking about last week's "Kidsland Music Festival"; KMF was the hit reality show where children perform in front of an audience to compete for cash and prizes. This season, their filming in Kansas. While the students were talking about KMF, Vada began to wonder if she could go onto the show to help the children with the craft service tents.

After class, she looked at her text.

Dear Vada.

*Meet me at WIKNS television studio after school.*

*I have a relative visiting me and she's letting her daughter compete on a popular reality show.*

*Also, they are both dying to meet you and try some of your dishes.*

*Sincerely, Ms. Benjamin.*

This was exciting for Vada, but a little disappointing. She knew that she's not allowed to have a fridge unless it's for medical reasons. Instead of that, she decided to share the noodle dish she made.

**XxoxX**

Later at WIKNS, she met Ms. Benjamin, a dirty blond Asian woman, and a little girl in Chinese monkey apparel.

"This is my little sister Heidi," explained Kiki, "and my niece Rika."

"I'm Vada Kesley," greeted Vada as she gave the little girl a noodle dish. "I'm one of Ms. Benjamin's students. Are you here to compete on 'Kidsland Music Festival'?"

Instead of speaking, Rika nodded her head.

"Did you like our Kesley soups?" asked Heidi.

"Shì de māmā (Yes, Mother.)," replied Rika.

Astonished, Vada realized that Rika could only speak Chinese. She remembered a Chinese pot shop where she learned a little bit of Chinese.

"Where are the others?" Ms. Benjamin asked.

"Well," Vada replied, "Chanel and Saatvika have to study for their history tests, Carla, Julianna, and Honey have to meet up with Curtis at the roller rink, Danna is volunteering at the pet shelter, and Presley Beth is meeting up with Mavis at a library lecture on Tennessee history."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Elthunt was sneaking around the television studio, disguised as a janitor. Looking for an animal to turn into a monster, he spots a meadowlark trainer and decided to turn the meadowlark into a monster. With one throw of a bar of soap, the meadowlark trainer followed it to a trashcan. This gave the McCart Bug a chance to bite the meadowlark and turn it into a monster.

**XxoxX**

Elsewhere at WIKNS, Vada was going around the TV studio admiring the delicious craft service's tent. "Look at the craft service's table" she wowed. "I could master any of these foods!" She found a chocolate cupcake with white frosting, silver sprinkles and snowflake patterns wrapping and ate it.

"And these cupcakes are delicious," she continued.

Just as she was about to eat an apple, she spotted Rika being bullied by a bunch of contestants for her inability to speak English. "Haven't you ever heard of the word 'practice'?"

But Rika was too weak and too sensitive to reply. Thinking back, this reminded Vada of how she rescued an arctic fox from a mean host of "Survival Scariness." While the bullies were teasing her more, Vada came up to them.

"That's enough," she replied. "I know practice makes perfect, but no one is cut out for everything. I have a feeling that Rika here is not cut out for speaking English."

"Shì de, wǎ dá (That's right, Vada)," replied Rika.

But they didn't listen; instead they continued teasing her. Just then a loud rumble came from one part of the TV studio. The meadowlark came out as McCart Meadowlark. The bullies run and hid while Vada stood up to the beast.

*Mew Mew Vanilla, Metamorphosis.*

Mew Mew Vanilla took down the monster with her Freezing Flute. Seeing her aunt's friend as a Mew Mew, she joined in with her flute solo. McCart Meadowlark heard the music and was distracted by her music. While the monster was still distracted by Rika's music, this was Mew Mew Vanilla's chance to stop the monster.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

In a flash, McCart Meadowlark turned back to a meadowlark.

"Melodic!" shouted the meadowlark trainer. "Where were you? I was so worried."

After the meadowlark trainer left, Kiki and Heidi came in to check on Vada and Rika.

"Nicely done, Vada," commented Ms. Benjamin. "Rika and I saw the whole thing."

Hearing this, Vada wondered if Rika knows that her sister was a Mew Mew.

"Of course." replied Heidi. "So do our brothers. She told us a year after their final mission against Cyniclons. She figured that she needed us safe as the eldest child. Last year, I told Little Rika about Aunt Kiki's secret and took it well. Sadly, my husband doesn't know the truth because he was a bully as a child and I don't want him to go back. It's amazing what six months of dance lessons from Kiki can do."

(Māmā, wǒ yīn wéi wúfǎ shuō yīngyǔ ér bèi shìtīng yuán cháoxiào (Mother, I was teased by the auditioners for my inability to speak English)," Rika said to her mother. "Dànshì wǒ réngrán yào qù cānjiā Vada de shìjìng. Tā zhēn yǒnggǎn (But I'm still going to audition for Vada. She is so brave)."

"I know how you feel about being picked on," Vada agreed. "My sisters did this to me all the time. Kanda use to make me do her chores while she does her nails and Kanya steals some of my clothes so she can look thin."

"Bullying isn't a good thing," replied Kiki. "Bridget delt with that when we first met her. Also, Heidi was also teased for not having a mother."

"I was only a toddler when we lost her," explained Heidi. "I won't remember Mom much, but Kiki will."

**XxoxX**

An hour later, when the set was fixed up, they did the recordings for "Kidsland Music Festival." Heidi did an amazing flute solo of Chóng ér fēi. In Chinese, that meant "Flying Fireflies." To support her niece, Ms. Benjamin got out a bunch of fireflies from her bag and spread them out. The judges knew it could be cheating, but they allow it because they believed that Rika has a cool aunt. In the end, the first place went to Violet and her Melodic Meadowlark for their xylophone-chirping duet of "The 1812 Overture." Remembering her aunt's advice that winning isn't important, Rika decided to let her go and let Violet continue on "Kidsland Music Festival." On the bright side, she got the second place prize of a year supply of Sugar Rush Millennium Muffins in banana nut, blueberry, poppyseed, and chocolate.

"Those things never go stale," recalled Vada. "Looks like we're going to have our own snacks at the ACS, huh?"

"You got that right," replied Kiki as she took a bite out of a banana nut muffin.

**XxoxX**

At the next ACS meeting, they were having an all you can eat muffin and Chinese buffet. Heidi and Rika were also there because their flight doesn't come til tonight.

"Zhè bǐ zài fēijī shàng chī wǎnfàn gèng hǎo (This is better than having dinner on the airplane)," admitted Rika.

"It's a good thing we ate at Velossi's at the Salt Lake City International Airport," replied Heidi. "Otherwise its 4 1/2 hours of peanuts, chicken, and fish."

"A Chinese Thanksgiving with muffins for dessert," Presley Beth. "To bad y'all don't have it in your countries."

"Actually," Vada corrected, "my father taught me about Thanksgiving when I was five. He was putting up some small pumpkins on our soup shop's table and artificial turkey feathers around the place. When he explained to me about Thanksgiving, I was psyched to learn stuffing, turkey and pumpkin pie."

"Impressive, Vada," replied Julianna. "Y'all really know your American cooking."

"Hey," Vada replied back. "I'm biracial."

Mrs. Georgeson came in and saw the buffet. Ms. Benjamin and The ACS were petrified that they were going get in trouble, but Mrs. Georgeson smiled. "I'm in need of some muffins," she explained. "I'm tired of waiting at the bakery for one simple poppyseed muffin."

Ms. Benjamin swallowed her banana nut muffin and said, "Well, if you can't beat them, join them!"

And she did.

**The End.**

**Note: after voice actress and theme song singer, Rika Komatsu.**

**Chapter 32: Owl of My Way**

It was the town's annual kite flying festival, and Harley, Carla, Saatvika, and Vada had entered in hoping to show off their creativity. In the competition booth, they found four kites left. One was brown, one was blue, one was pink, and one was white. Saatvika took one off the shelves. "Ready for their close up?" she asked.

Suddenly, a familiar artistic face came up. "Nice pick on the kites," she said. "No one in the world would want those kites."

"Miss Deering?" asked Saatvika. "You're the main judge, and you're in a Tennessee-imported apron. People from Tennessee love their irises, fireflies, and river pearls."

"That's right," explained Mavis. "I'm not a painter for nothing."

"Nice," commented Carla. "But we're also waiting for-"

"Rodrigo," smiled Saatvika.

With one look, Saatvika saw Rodrigo through a bishie sparkle, just like how Zoe did through Mark and how Corina did through Renee.

"Sorry I'm late," Rodrigo said in reality. "I had to study for my math test."

"That's good," replied Carla. "We don't want any grade troubles. Otherwise we'll miss out on making grades, just as long as grades are between A+ to C-."

"Exactly," Rodrigo replied. He spotted Saatvika in a beautiful Bollywood pink dress. "Your dress is wonderful" he commented.

"Thanks," Saatvika answered as she snapped back into reality. "It was my grandmother's. Naanee Jivika was a world-renowned Bollywood actress."

"Wait a second," replied Rodrigo. "'Jivika Bath.' My mom has all her DVDs. She was also a good kite flyer in her youth. In fact, I'm entering her mine in the competition."

Looking at his kite, Saatvika could see that it was of a circus tent with manta rays. "There are three things to good kite making," Rodrigo explained. "One: make sure the frame is sturdy. Two: use markers or colored paper for your kites. And three: always add a tail so it can flight straight."

"Got it!" replied the four girls with excitement.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, in ship, Elthunt John was playing his keytar. Soon as he finished his last tune, Poach came while in a rage. "Elthunt!" he shouted. "What did we say about playing your keytar while I'm working on a prank?!"

"Sir," replied Elthunt, "I forgot to practice."

"I can't stay mad at you," Poach replied back. "Here, have some tea."

Little did Elthunt know was that Poach placed hot sauce into the tea. Feeling the heat, Elthunt went crazy from the hot sauce, causing him to barge into the McCart Bug vault. The bugs started to fly like crazy. One escaped the ship and headed towards Earth.

**XxoxX**

At the kite-crafting tent, Carla, Saatvika, Harley, and Vada were coming up with ideas with their kite decor when they spotted Lilith, Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee.

"What have we here?" teased Lilith. "A bunch of rabid kites?"

"No, Lilith," growled Harley. "These \*are\* kites."

"Peyton," whispered Lilith, "did you get the super glue?"

"I did," whispered Peyton. "Now that prize will be good as ours thanks to your brilliant idea."

"You always have the best ideas," whispered Rylee.

Meanwhile at their table, Carla, Saatvika, Harley and Vada decided to decorate their kites. Carla spotted a bee that was about to sting her left arm and whooshed it away. Suddenly, Harley thought up something.

"Girls," she said, "look at your Mew Mars. And don't worry about the competitors - they're too busy with their kites."

Observing carefully, they looked at Vada's fox print mark on her right arm Saatvika's chameleon eyes on her left cheek, Carla looked at her manta ray on her left arm, and borrowing Saatvika's compact mirror, Harley looked at her bear park on her forehead.

"We can make kites that show who we are," advised Harley, "but with our Mew Mew animals."

Within ten minutes, the girls decorated their kites with cooking, circus, beach and movie star patterns.

Before they had a chance to go to the contest area, an owl like creature came up and it started terrorizing the good citizens.

"Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn!" shouted the Mini-Mews.

Using their instincts, they knew that another McCart Monster is causing problems.

"The kite contest can wait," said Harley. "Let's give this owl a spoonful of sugar."

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Vanilla, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis*

In horror, they could watch McCart Owl making all the kites fly away. Without Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Mew Mew Jelly, and Mew Mew Dumpling, they wouldn't be able to return the kites.

Thinking quick, Mew Mew Honey thought up a good idea to save the kites and the festival. "If we could use out ninja hops to get from Point A to Point B," she said, "we can do it to get the kites back."

And sure enough, Mew Mew Honey was right. They gave all the kites back to their respective owners. As Mew Mew Cupcake was grabbing Lilith's kite, she heard Congee say, "Piànzi. Piànzi!"

Mew Mew Cupcake didn't know what Congee meant, but decided to give Lilith's kite to Mavis to be save. When Mavis looked down, she noticed a little bit of super glue on Lilith's kite.

"You go pluck feathers out of that owl," advised Mavis. "I'm going to give the element of surprise."

At one part of the kite festival, Mew Mew Vanila was playing her Freezing Flute, Mew Mew Sundae was casting illusions with her Illusion Staff, and Mew Mew Honey was shooting arrows from her Beary Bow.

Mew Mew Cupcake decided to help out her friends by tossing her Sprinkle Frisbee. Once McCart Owl spotted her, fire popped out of nowhere. It was Ms. Benjamin, who'd come to root Vada, Carla, Harley, and Saatvika on. "It's our flame-throwing monkey!" exclaimed Mew Mew Honey.

"Heat things up, Ms. Benjamin!" smiled Mew Mew Sundae.

Using her monkey techniques, Ms. Benjamin did her fire dance routine while Mew Mews Cupcake did some gymnastics, Mew Mew Vanilla did some stealthing, Mew Mew Sundae did some tap dancing, and Mew Mew Honey did some acrobats, leaving McCart Owl confused.

"It's time for the main attraction!" shouted Ms. Benjamin.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

Just like that, McCart Owl turned back into a normal owl. Everyone cheered for Ms. Benjamin's fire dancing routine with The Mew Mews.

**XxoxX**

Later that day, Harley had a circus tent with bees, Carla's had a beach with cupcakes, Vada's had baking utensils and a fox, and Saatvika's had a chameleon with cameras. Rodrigo met up with our heroes, who were putting on the finishing touches of their kites.

"Hola, Hermano," greeted Carla.

"Hey, sis" greeted Rodrigo. "You would not believe what Ms. Benjamin did. She did a fire dance with the Mew Mews. If only I could pull something like that at Cirque De Agua Heart."

"Then the dolphins would squirt you," chuckled Carla.

"What do you mean I'm disqualified?" asked Lilith loudly.

"Putting superglue onto the kite strings to avoid breaking off isn't necessary," explained Mavis. "As an artist, I know what has super glue and what doesn't."

The judges didn't want to deal with Lilith's behavior, so they banned her from the kite festival for life. Lilith started hopping up and down because she was disqualified from the competition and banned for life. Everyone cheered, because Lilith was out of the competition now.

**XxoxX**

Later that night, Mavis was painting a still life of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when she got a text from her old friends, Willie and Darwin.

*So, Mav, how are our daughter's friends.*

*We've seen them on Danna's tutorial channel.*

*Willie and Darwin*

Mavis replied back to them immediately.

*Presley Beth and Julianna are doing great.*

*And get this; Carla won the kite contest for her manta ray beach design.*

*A good reminder that protecting our oceans is important.*

*For the prize, they get a gift certificate to Macaroon Solstice candy emporium.*

*It is going to be a sweet trip.*

*Sincerely, Mavis Deering.*

**The End.**

**Chapter 33: Duck, Duck, Goose**

In the crowded hallways at CKH, students were getting out of class and heading to their lockers.

"Can you believe that we got an assignment on the important things in our lives in history class?" Leighton asked. "I'm going to do moment that inspired me to become a reporter."

"Stop the presses," Vada joked, "because I'm going to do one where I made soup by myself for the first time, and not the microwavable."

"What about you, Car?" asked Leighton. "What are you going to do?"

"Don't know," replied Carla. "I've done a lot of circus stunts, I just couldn't think up one."

**XxoxX**

After dinner, Carla was coming up with for history assignment. She had so many ideas, she couldn't chose just one. "There was the time that Cousin Sal entertained our circus with her hip hop routine," she said to herself. "But this is about me. I could tell the time that I took my mom to the flower festival. We brought home some strong selling carnation tea, and Papi is allergic to carnations. What about the time where Rakila came to our circus to perform? No, no, no, it would cause a riot."

"Well, well," Lilith growled. "Trying to find out about your family you problem child?"

"So, Lil," Carla said, "what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to present my mom's photo print company," bragged Lilith, "just to rub it in your face."

"How come you never showed pics of your mother?" asked Carla.

"Because she made me make my online accounts private," Lilith answered rudely. "She claims that her sister could escape and play tattletale."

Carla didn't want to be annoyed by Lilith's gloating, so she left for the ACS.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at the park, Aretha and Crossni were going around disguised as old lady.

"This outfit is making me sweat," groaned Crossni. "I feel like something out of Earth's 1947."

"Hey!" shouted Aretha. "Roswell was a prison for aliens."

Aretha and Crossni spotted a raft of ducks walking along the grass. They took some duck feed, place a McCart Bug without wings into the feed and the ducks ate it. One of them swallowed the bug and turned into McCart Duck.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, at the ACS meeting, Ms. Benjamin had important stuff to tell her students. "We're going to participate in Duck, Duck, Goose," she explained.

"Aren't we a little too old to play Duck, Duck, Goose?" Carla asked. "We're not in elementary school anymore."

"Come on," Ms. Benjamin replied. "This is a good chance for you to reconnect with your childhood. Also, Saatvika did had a similar version in India called Rumaal Chor, where you use a hanky during the game."

"That's right," Saatvika recalled. "I'd even played it with my little brother and his friendly scout troop sometimes."

"This is the most embarrassing dance class ever," Harley groaned.

"I thought you like recess games," Danna recalled.

"I do," admitted Harley. "It's just I don't want to think while acting like a child, what if Dean Dennis gets ideas?"

After Carla became the goose and chased Kiki, Ms. Benjamin told her that Vada explained to her about her little history report issue. "For a circus girl," Carla said, "it's hard. I mean, with going on the beaches of Bogota and performing."

While Chanel was going around saying "cane," the Mini-Mews pope out and shouted "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn!", meaning that there was danger.

"I'll handle this," said Carla. "Figure I could play it with a real duck."

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Mew Mew Cupcake hopped up and down around Kansas City until she spotted McCart Duck playing around by a Latin American souvenir shop. She recalled buying a porcelain duck from a similar shop while visiting Barranquilla, the hometown of the world famous Shakira. She bought one with an autograph of the international pop star. This gave her an idea. "Hey, Ducky!" shouted Mew Mew Cupcake. "Care to dance like a gypsy, whenever and wherever? because my hips don't lie!"

McCart Duck was so annoyed by Mew Mew Cupcake's insult, he barged towards her.

"I've done some gardening before," recalled Carla. "Now this is a weed whacking wham."

Cupcake combined Congee with her Sprinkle Frisbee. With one toss, the Sprinkle Frisbee released a sparkly trail; McCart Duck became dazzled by the sparkles. Figuring this out, Cupcake figured that her Mini-Mew Weapon Combo could create a temporary distraction for the enemy. When McCart landed near a magic shop and Mew Mew Cupcake realized something.

"I promised Rodrigo that I would do ice cream with him," she said to herself.

A few seconds after she left, McCart Duck started to turn back to normal.

**XxoxX**

Moments later by The Sumo Cow Japanese ice cream shop, Cupcake hid by a Mew Mew cutout and changed back to Carla. It was she came up to a waiting Rodrigo. He turned his head and found his little sister. "Magdalena!" he smiled. "You made it."

Carla quickly hugged her big brother and they walked inside the Japanese ice cream shop.

A few minutes later, Carla and Rodrigo came out with ice creams and they sat outside. Carla got a vanilla cupcake flavored ice cream with blue sprinkles while Rodrigo got a coconut with chocolate sprinkles. For the next few minutes they talked about their good times in Columbia, their performances in the circus, and playing on the beach.

"Yā! Yā!" whispered Congee.

Looking up, she spotted McCart Duck sneaking towards them. Carla didn't want to blow her cover, so she decided to do the Mew Mew Style call in a whisper.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

In Your Face

And just like that, the McCart Duck turned back into a real duck.

Little did she know was that while she was cleaning the mess, Rodrigo placed a note into her bag.

**XxoxX**

Later that night, the girls were having a slumber party at Chanel's, Vada's, and Saatvika's dorm. Danna wanted to play one of the Monkees' theme song with Carla's Monkees music sheets.

"You're in luck, señorita," said Carla, "because I brought some for music class as a homage for mi los padres love for them."

While Carla was looking through her bag for the Monkees' theme song, she spotted a flier of Cirque De Agua Heart's Manta Mayhem show.

*Carla, Cirque De Agua Heart Manta Mayhem*

*Featuring Rodrigo the Maravilloso and the Magical Magdalena, Carla.*

Carla could remember being her brother's magician assistant, feeding animals muffins that are edible to animals, tightrope walking while balancing plates of muffins and tossing them to the audience, and winning a sand sculpture contest for her giant muffin.

"Excusez-moi, Carla," interrupted Chanel. "Are you going to get the feuilles de chanson?"

"Yo soy (I am)," answered Carla as she gave the song sheets to Danna.

**XxoxX**

The next day, Vada was presenting her important event presentation. "My father, Bennett, was inviting my paternal grandmother from America," she explained. "My mom, Kamon, had to make a last minute interruption towards the market for groceries. Father had to come with her for safety and my two sisters were out shopping. So, I decided to do it myself. Nine years old and alone. I know it was crazy, but I had to make a good impression towards my grandfather. When he arrived from America, I gave him a Thai white curry noodle soup. With one gulp, he loved my soup. It was there I leaned that if you want done something right. Gotta do it yourself."

After everyone applauded for Vada's presentation, it was Carla's turn. She was nervous, but had to pass. "This whole thing started when I was six years old and my older hermano, Rodrigo, was seven," she started. "Mama and Papi, decided that he should make his first gig at Cirque De Agua Heart as a magician. There was only one problem; he didn't have a stage name. We decided to get some of Micah's Magdalenas Maravillosas, otherwise known as 'Micah's Marvelous Muffins'. Muffins were the first food I ate with my teeth. It was there my brother gave me the affectionate nickname he gives me. Observing the label, I gave him the perfect stage name: 'Rodrigo the Maravilloso'. It was there I learned that you always have to help your siblings no matter what."

There was a ten-second silence, but then everyone bursted with applause. The teacher was so touched by her story, he gave her an A+.

Vada was very proud of Carla's presentation, this reminded her so much of her giving her sister's Weekly AD emails to save money.

During one of the student's presentation on being influenced by magic, Carla realized that her brother set her up at The Muddy Cow. So, she decided to talk to him at lunch.

**XxoxX**

During lunch, Carla and Vada spotted Rodrigo chatting with some of his friends. She came up to her brother and sat down, "You set me up to get ideas for the project," Carla said.

"I did," Rodrigo admitted. "I couldn't just let you flunk out at CKH."

With one smile, Carla said, "Gracias, Hermano."

Rodrigo was surprised and confused, and was afraid that his own sister would get mad at him. But Carla told him that her presentation was about helping siblings. Hearing this, Rodrigo smiled.

**The End.**

**Chapter 34: And A Turkey in a Pear Tree**

In the teacher's lounge, it was the last day before Winter Break at CKH School, everyone was excited for the break, except for Coach Landon. "So what's on your mind for Winter Break, Zander?" asked Ms. Benjamin.

"Gonna go back to my hometown for the annual Santa's Sanctuary," explained Zander. "It's where we some homeless people in the big city and let them stay at the rec center from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day."

"What about you Coach Landon?" Dean Dennis said. "What are you doing for Christmas?"

"I hate Christmas," corrected Coach Landon. "They're giving love, the smell of nutmeg and egg nog in the morning, and the annoying Christmas carolers."

"Speaking of which," added in Ms. Benjamin, "I've got a gift for you, Zander."

He gave her a Christmas bag and inside, was a children's makeup kit. "I know that you can be a bit childish," he explained. "So I thought you can use some children's makeup to keep the 'kid at heart' thing going. "

Kiki loved her gift, because she is a child at heart.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at the girls' dorm, Harley was putting up the final touches of her packing when she got a text message from her big sister.

*Sis, meet us outside your dorm, now.*

*Xoxox, Kaylee*

Outside her dorm, she spotted her dashing father and attractive nerdy sister. "Dad! Kaylee!" she exclaimed. "I'm so glad you get to spend Christmas in America this year."

"I need to catch up with my brother," Mr. Dennis said. "Allen gets a little mopey when I don't contact him within three weeks."

In her room, Harley looked at the last picture with her mother before she disappeared. She was having a vanilla latte in a dolphin-themed mug while Harley and her sister were enjoying some hot chocolate.

"You miss Mom, don't you?" asked Mr. Dennis.

"Three years without her?" Harley replied. "I wish I can find her."

"Relax, sis," replied Kaylee, "I miss Mom too, but you've been strong since she disappeared."

Harley started to smile after what she heard from Kaylee. Just then, she got a phonecall from Ms. Benjamin, telling her and the other ACS girls to meet by the schoolbus with Christmas Monkeys ASAP.

"Gotta go," Harley said in a flash. "An emergancy ACS meeting."

When Harley rushed out, both Mr. Dennis and Kaylee smiled. Suddenly, they saw Dean Dennis and Nurse Milward in an awry look.

"Allen," Mr. Dennis said to his brother. "How's my dear brother doing?"

"Terrible, Axel," groaned Dean Dennis. "Lylah told me that her parents are coming over for the holidays this year and they still don't trust me due to my worrisome behavior."

"I tried to convince Mama and Papa that Allen is not like my previous boyfriends," explained Nurse Millward, "but they didn't listen."

"Don't worry," replied Kaylee. "Dad and I will make sure that you guys get the best parent approval ever."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, the ACS and Mavis were riding a school bus with window drawings of Christmas monkeys.

"These are some really good drawings you did," commented Danna.

"Actually," corrected Ms. Benjamin, "Mavis and I did them together."

"So, Har," said Vada, "Your dad and sister are in town for Christmas this year and they want to help your uncle be less worrisome."

"Exactly," replied Harley. "Uncle Allen really wants Nurse Millward's parents to like him, but fails to do so. Also, i'm not sure my dad would like American Christmas customs. In Australia, we usually have the main meals at lunch time, and we use fire crackers."

"It's not like how we have it in France," Chanel replied. "Usually we warm up by cherrywood fire."

"As for India," replied Saatvika, "we decorate mango and banana trees."

"What about you, Danna?" asked Harley, "What do you usually do on Christmas?"

"We place newly cleaned shoes by the our front doorstep with hay." explained Danna, "And Santa trades them for presents."

"In Columbia." replied Carla, "We decorate our homes with red and white candles. Our famlia uses light up candles for fire safety."

"People in Thailand usually don't celebrate Christmas." explained Vada, "But we do open our soup shop for local foster homes and homeless shelter. Isn't that what Christmas is about, helping the needy."

"It is, y'all." Presley Beth replied, "First I thought it was bout them presents, but Facetube Clips of the Good Day 94 Christmas Special taught me that Christmas is about giving and not getting."

"Back in Tennessee," Julianna continued, "We go to a Christmas Village in Nashville, our Poppas also help out share the customs of Christmas for those who celebrate Chanukah and Kwanzaa, proving that no matter what religion, we can share our differences."

"Let's make him comfortable as best as he can." suggested Carla, "Only two more days until we can go home."

"Okay, everyone," declared Ms. Benjamin. "We're here."

Outside the bus, they spotted a 1940s-styled motel. "This is the Hodge Podge Lodge," explained Ms. Benjamin. "Originally it was a motel during World War II, but after the war, they turned it into a homeless shelter. The mayor has asked us to do use this as rental space for a Christmas show for the homeless."

"Wait, wait," asked Presley Beth asked. "We're performing for hobos? Awesome!"

**XxoxX**

Inside the motel, they could see that the whole place was decorated in a 1940s-styled Christmas.

"It feels like i'm in the same room as Glen Miller," commented Danna.

"And this here is a perfect place for a pillow fight," suggested Presley Beth. "For the kids, that is."

"I'm not so sure," Mavis replied. "We don't want any feathers flying around like crazy."

"Now, now," Ms. Benjamin replied. "The managers of the homeless shelter and the homeless people will be back from seeing the musical performance of 'A Christmas Carol' in three hours. According to my instincts, the show just started. So we're going to have to put on a show for them."

The ACS was surprised because they get to do a show for the homeless.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile in the dangerous streets of Kansas City, Poach was going around disguised as a bad elf looking for an animal to become his next McCart Monster.

"Hurry with them turkey, Elisa!" shouted an elderly man with a black stetson. "I need to get ready to do my magic act!"

"Coming, Cameron!" shouted an elderly lady with short blond hair.

Looking at the turkey, Poach figured that he'd be perfect for his Season Terrorings. With one bite from the McCart Bug, the turkey turned into McCart Turkey.

XxoxX

Outside, the girls were finishing up their dance rehearsal when they got a post on Facetube about Downtown Topeka being harmed by a monster turkey. Knowing this, the Mew Mews decided to head over to Topeka ASAP.

Outside, they saw Fenfang with a bucket of yellow paint, much to their dismay and confusion.

"Fenfang," Kiki asked, "were you using yellow paint on the snow again?"

Fenfang nodded her head. "Oh, Fenfang," chuckled Kiki as she picked up her pet monkey, "I appreciate you using up the paint for something. That is a good Christmas present. A bit strange, but I like it."

"No time for weird admirations," replied Harley. "We got a turkey to cook!"

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

When they reached Topeka, they could see the entire place trembling in fear as McCart Turkey causes mayhem. One by one, they used their signature weapons on the turkey. After Mew Mew Chocolate landed by a pillow truck, Mew Mew Peanut Butter got an idea, "Remember what I said about pillow fights?" she asked. "Let's do one to that stuffed turkey."

In a snap, the Mew Mews pelted the monster with pillows, then did their attack move.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Turkey turned back into a regular turkey, "There you are Mr. Stuffers." shouted Cameron, "We were wondering where you slipped off to."

"Our grown up daughter will be very disappointed to see the Topeka Pardoned Turkey out of our hands.," replied Elisa.

Looking at the time on a nearby clock tower, they needed to get ready for their performance and to make Harley's dad comfortable.

**XxoxX**

Thirty minutes later, they were all dazzled up in sequin Santa outfit with a pin that represents their flavor. "Aren't we cute?" asked Saatvika.

"And beautiful too." replied Carla.

"Not only Mavis is a good painter" Presley Beth explained, "But she's also a good seamstress. Some of the clothes she buys at the mall, she adds some fabrics to suit the real her."

"My favorites are the jacks with peanuts and grapes on them." Julianna replied, "Gives people a PBnJ flavor."

"Harley," shouted Mr. Dennis from a distance, "Where is your little honey self?"

He came into the girls' homeless room and the girls smiled at Mr. Dennis, "Hey Dad," she greeted, "You may remember my friends from Danna's guitar videos online."

"Of course." replied Mr. Dennis, "I'm very proud of my youngest daughter for helping an apple dumpling like her."

"A little fairy magic I suppose." chucked Kaylee as she ate a slice of fairy bread she made herself.

"I hope you don't mind Mr. Dennis." replied Carla, "But we're going to give you the best Christmas in Kansas ever.

Quickly, they dragged Mr. Dennis into the room, placed him down in the chair, and served them some chocolate cream cookies and hot cocoa, "Figure you needed to relax before Christmas, Mr. Dennis." Carla explained.

"Thanks girls." Mr. Dennis replied, "I've been trying to control my worrisome brother all day."

"Relax, Mr. Dennis." replied Vada, "We got this."

**XxoxX**

Later, The ACS, Mavis, and Kiki were greeting homeless people. Mavis and Kiki were shaking hands with them, Chanel and Vada were handing out tomato soups, Saatvika and Carla giving out goody bags to the homeless, Danna, Kaylee and Harley were singing for some of the homeless people about Christmas Fairies, and Presley Beth of Julianna were reading The Nutcracker to the homeless children.

Dean Dennis was thrilled by her niece's attempt to help the homeless and make her father comfortable when Elisa and Cameron came up to them and behind them, was Nurse Millward, "These are my parents," she explained, "Elisa and Cameron Millward."

"He, he, hello." Dean Dennis greeted nervously.

"I'm not so sure about all this, Lylah," admitted Cameron, "Last time he came to the homeless shelter, he made a big fuss over homeless people leaving dirty socks behind."

"Shoe smell is the worst smell I've ever smelled." shouted Dean Dennis, "Which is why I use shoe freshener once a month!"

"And crazy." admitted Elisa, "There are children here and they'll laugh at Allen making a scene."

Suddenly, the lights went out, onstage, The ACS performed a rock and roll version of Sleigh Ride.

*Just hear those sleigh bells jingling*

*Ring-ting-tingling too*

*Come on, it's lovely weather*

*For a sleigh ride together with you*

*Outside the snow is falling*

*And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo"*

*Come on, it's lovely weather*

*For a sleigh ride together with you*

*Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap*

*Let's go; let's look at the show*

*We're riding in a wonderland of snow*

*Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap*

*It's grand, just holding your hand*

*We're riding along with a song*

*Of a wintry fairy land*

*Our cheeks are nice and rosy*

*And comfy cozy are we*

Everyone was astonished by their performance, including Cameron and Elisa, "Isn't one of those girls your youngest niece?" asked Elisa.

"Yeah," admitted Dean Dennis, "This was all Miss. Benjamin's idea to perform for Hodge Podge Lodge."

Instead of getting upset, Cameron and Elisa smiled, because they love a man who knows how to be honest with himself.

Cameron picked up a guitar and played Sleigh Ride while The ACS girls finished up their dance.

*Come on, it's lovely weather*

*For a sleigh ride together with you.*

Everyone applauded for their performance.

When the girls got offstage, Miss. Benjamin and Mavis gave them their presents for all their hard work. Chanel got a figurine of a Chinese tiger statue, Vada got some Chinese fans with a fox on it, Saatvika got a new bicycle bell with plum blossoms on them, Carla got a puzzle of the Great Wall of China , Danna got poster of a Shanghai landscape, Harley got a figurine of a Chinese pagoda , Presley Beth got a dragon boat, and Julianna got a book called, 'Chinese Caligraphy for Morons'.

In return, all eight girls brought up a big present for Miss. Benjamin. In the present, was a pair of monkey one-sies pajamas. This delighted Miss. Benjamin because monkeys have always delighted her. A group of people even once called her a 'flame-throwing baby monkey'. As for Mavis, they gave her Christmas-themed oven mitts, so she can have the feeling of Christmas everyday.

"Harley." shouted her father as he and Kaylee rushed up to her, "We're so proud of you for performing for the people here, "And that little turkey of there's is so cute.

\*He means Mr. Stuffers.\* Harley thought to herself, "Gee, Dad. This turned out to be a great Christmas."

All three Dennis Family members gave each other a big hug. This may have been their third Christmas without their mother, but their still a family.

**The End.**

**Chapter 35: Hey Fox, What Time Is It**

At the modern dance classes, our heroes were all waiting for Ms. Benjamin, "Where's Ms. Benjamin?" asked Vada. "She was suppose to be here ten minutes ago."

"I don't know," answered Saatvika. "Maybe she's performing on the streets for extra money again. She did that for her brothers and sisters when their dad left them at a young."

"What about her mother?" asked Danna.

"She died when Ms. Benjamin was young," Saatvika sadly answered. "Incurable illness."

Hearing this, Harley knew how she felt about losing a mom.

By the door, instead of Ms. Benjamin, it was an elderly lady with '60s gym clothes. Quickly, the students recognized her as Coach Buckley, who was a famous alumni and gym teacher, "Listen up!" she shouted. "Ms. Benjamin is out cold and won't be able to teach you guys dancing. So I'm taking over. For this lesson, we'll be doing it SNF style."

"'Saturday Night Live'?" asked Saatvika. "I love that show."

"No, Saat," corrected Harley. "'Saturday Night Fever'."

Horrified, everyone started to dance like it was 1970.

**XxoxX**

After school, our heroes' couldn't help but lie down on the ground and pant, "Good thing we already did our homework for the week to avoid getting bad grades," Harley said.

"I wonder what's wrong with Ms. Benjamin?" asked Danna. "She cares about us, and we care about her."

"Think nothing," Chanel replied. "Coach Howland was starting to worry about her too. He wants to go over a salsa routine with her tomorrow that he learned from 'LADUWS: Mexico Season 1'."

"We better get to her house after dinner and after we recover," Carla suggested. "Can't see all the banana pudding go to waste."

**XxoxX**

After dinner, the Mew Mews arrived at the Benjamins' residence. The only thing left now, is to get in. Saatvika thought about a Bollywood music video based on escaping a prison. She got out a bobby pin, placed it into the lock and they were in.

In her house, it was like a minirature Chinese circus, "Her house is full of Chinese artifacts," Presley Beth said. "It's like an antique store."

"I know," Carla replied as she started becoming amused by the Chinese lantern. "And these lanterns are so pretty."

While looking around the place, Julianna spotted a picture of the Mew Mews working at Cafe Mew Mew, "Only a few months and we were already Mew Mews." she said.

When Julianna turned her head, Presley Beth scared her with a Chinese mask.

"Pres," Julianna said to her sister angrily, "you know I hate getting scared."

"Come on," chuckled Presley Beth. "It's a joke."

As Julianna was getting over the accenting, a gibbon with a yellow chinese hat came in and mistook Presley Beth for a banana, "Who's laughing now?" chuckled Julianna.

"Girls!" shouted Harley. "We need to focus!"

On the collar was a Chinese coin, and on the back was its name. Danna looked at the monkey and read her tag, "FENFANG."

"A fragerance of flowers," smiled Danna. "That's a nice name for a monkey."

"Everyone," Chanel said, "I found Ms. Benjamin."

**XxoxX**

In her Chinese/Circus themed bedroom, they could see their teacher sleeping with a kung-fu fighting rainbow monkey. Fenfang crawled onto the bed and comforted Miss. Benjamin, "Fenfang must be Kiki's pet monkey."

"But what about the fox?" asked Vada.

The space-like fox looked at our heroes and knocked them out by touching them with his tail.

**XxoxX**

When they woke up, they found out that they were in their own dream worlds. Chanel's was a gothic castle, Vada was a Thai kitchen, Saatvika was a movie premiere, Carla's was a beach, Danna's was a music studio, Harley's was a circus, Presley Beth's was a farm, and Julianna's was a mansion. However, their dreams were turning into nightmares as numerous Poach McCartnets appeared out of nowhere. Remembering the song "Our Dream" from "Blue's Clues," and her favorite fairytale "Sleeping Beauty," she decided to think of something happy.

A hand popped to her and a voice said, "Come along, Honey Bear."

It was a beautiful Australian woman with shoulder-length blonde hair, a slender figure and brown clothing, "Mom?" asked Harley as she took her hand.

"I'm here for you," Andrea said as she wiped the tears off her daughter's face.

Quickly the duo made their way towards the light, and into the dream realm, "Be brave, my Honey Bear," her mother said as she faded out of existence.

Hearing the words, Harley felt encouraged and decided to go find the other Mew Mews.

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis!*

Thinking hard, the portals to the dream realms of her friends popped up. One by one, she opened the door and said in all of them, "Guys, the only way you can get out of here is think of something happy."

Hearing what their leader said, they thought up many happy thoughts as they can. Chanel thought about romance, chocolate, and hearts that say "I Heart Danna," Vada thought about candy, treats, and female superheroes, Saatvika thought about ballet, dolphins, and pink scented cosmetics, Carla thought about the beach, sunflowers, and circus acts, Danna thought about music, the flowers of Haiti, and cute animals, Presley Beth thought about the Old West, mud, horses, and Julianna thought about cute boys, butterflies, and lovely bows.

They thought about these happy things so much, all the Poach's went away. After everyone got into the Dream Realm, it was time to go to one more dream realm, Kiki's.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

They found Ms. Benjamin's dream realm by thinking of her door. When they got in, they saw that the whole place was a Chinese circus. In the middle, Ms. Benjamin was having a hard time taming the same fox that was on her.

"That's was causing her to stay asleep," Mew Mew Honey realized. "A space fox that's keeping her from waking up."

"We gotta help her," suggested Mew Mew Chanel.

As Ms. Benjamin was getting down, Mew Mews Peanut Butter and Jelly helped their teacher and told her that she has to think of something happy. Thinking real hard, Miss. Benjamin thought about a lot of circus animals, treats, clowns, and most of all, Coach Howland as a ringmaster.

"Hey, Kiki," greeted Dream Coach Howland as he did a flirtatious wink.

Seeing his face, Ms. Benjamin felt much better.

Knowing that their teacher needed more help, they decided to put on a dream circus.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" shouted Miss. Benjamin, "Please welcome to the first ever Cirque De Mew Mew, and welcome all of our acts, the Mew Mews!"

While the Mew Mews took down the dream foxes in the styles of a circus, Dream Coach Howland escorted her to the waking world.

*Mew Mew Style,*

*Mew Mew Grace,*

*Mew Mew Style in your face!*

The dream foxes were so scared, they ran away and the original woke up.

"You know girls" said Mew Mew Honey, "we should wake up now."

**XxoxX**

By the time they woke up, they saw Kiki petting Fenfang and the fox, whom Fenfang took a liking too, despite being a monkey and a space fox, "Look at that," smiled Vada. "The dream fox wants to be friends with us."

The dream fox smiled and cuddled the girls, "Thanks for getting me out of that crazy dream." Ms. Benjamin said. "I could really tell that the fox meant no harm and was cruelly abused by his boss."

"Yeah," Presley Beth said. "How do you know?"

"I'm Mew Mew Pudding," answered Ms. Benjamin. "Monkeys are not only have good flexibility; they have good instincts like cats do."

"I think we should name him," Danna suggested. "If he's going to be part of the ACS, he has to have a name."

Looking at Ms. Benjamin's music CDS, Saatvika found one of the 80s rock band Heart, and played their top hit "These Dreams" on Ms. Benjamin's boom box. Hearing the song, they knew exactly what to name him - Dreamheart. Ms. Benjamin and Fenfang agreed to his name, and so did Dreamheart.

While everyone was petting the newest member to the team. Harley was getting out a small box filled with trinkets, which include a camera, an acrobat's pamphlet, a fudge recipe book and a few shelled jewelry. Everyone else was confused on the stuff she brought, "This was my mom's stuff before she disappeared," she explained. "Not only she was an acrobats teacher, but she was also a good photographer. She'd even loved making fudge to earn some extra money."

"Tell me about your mother," Ms. Benjamin said to her. "I'm your teacher, so it's my job to listen."

"Yes," said Carla. "And friends are suppose to share each other's secrets."

"It was three years ago," explained Harley as she shed a tear. "My mom was entering a photoshoot competition and was going to go to The Outback for three days. Unfortunately, she disappeared with only one trace, her camera. We uploaded all the photos, but Dad only kept the good ones. Some of them were off a mysterious being with a great white shark symbol."

Hearing these words, Ms. Benjamin decided that they should take off from the ACS, "Finally!" shouted Presley Beth. "Now I can work on my map-making of the school and the best ways to get to the cafeteria."

"Y'all want to get to the cafeteria and clear up all the peanut butter cookies again?" asked Julianna.

"Duh!" answered Presley Beth.

After they left, Ms. Benjamin thought about her late mother as she was

"Papa Willie and Papa Darwin wouldn't like it," Julianna scolded.

**XxoxX**

When Harley got back into her room, she dropped the stuff and picked it all up. While she was putting away the shelled-jewelry, she spotted a strange shark tooth necklace with the name "Ariya." Harley looked at it in confusion and asked, "Who in the world is Ariya?"

The End.

**Chapter 36: Crow In The Lines**

It was a bright Tuesday afternoon and everyone in Ms. Benjamin's dance class was getting down with their bad selves, except for Presley Beth and Julianna. Ms. Benjamin was concerned, so she told them to join her for lunch.

**XxoxX**

During lunch, Presley Beth and Julianna were not only joined by Ms. Benjamin, but Mavis too.

"Girls," asked Mavis, "did you have any trouble concentrating in class?"

"We did," admitted Presley Beth. "Jul and I have been having visions of two people being from two different dancers from two backgrounds. One was a rocker and one was a shy girl. Plus the shy girl had two babies with him and gave them up for adoption."

Mavis was shocked by this, but decided to worry about her own problems. This left Presley Beth and Julianna confused. "A world renowned art critic is coming to Meredith's Masterpiece and is going to review my art. His name is Saul Philippe."

"Saul Phillipe?" asked Julianna. "He's a world famous critic from France. He came to my art class today to give a lecture on perfection oil paint. You would not believe how mean he is."

"I can take him," replied Presley Beth.

Just then, Presley Beth and Julianna got an idea. "I got it," they suggested. "Let's do a twin switch."

Kiki and Mavis remembered seeing "The Parent Trap" and thought it was a good idea.

**XxoxX**

After school, Presley Beth wore Julianna's blouse jacket and bonnet while Julianna wore Presley Beth's fringe jacket and Stetson. In order to avoid the mix up, Lo and Mein stayed with their counterparts. In Julianna's art room, they spotted an elderly Frenchman in an elaborate blue suit. \*That must be Saul Philippe,\* Presley Beth thought to herself. \*Julianna was right about him. It's a good thing she's taking my place at Lilith's little makeup presentation. I would rather rope em monkeys than that.\*

After Saul perfect a crooked picture, he spotted Presley Beth, thinking that she's Julianna, "Bonjour, Madamoiselle Julianna," he greeted. "I must say that your butterfly painting a southern belle has too much purple and the lining is a little light."

"Listen here, varmint!" shouted Presley Beth as Julianna. "Y'all are nothing but a total perfectionist. No one is perfect you know. So you better give Mavis Deering a 3-to-5 star review, since most of them are 2-star."

Petrified by "Julianna"'s threat, Saul decided to give her a 3-to-5 star review.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Elthunt sneaks around the art expo disguised in a fedora and trench coat looking to find another victim. He sees a bunch of artists sketching out a caged crow. Thinking quicky, he got out a McCart Bug and the bug bit the crow. As it grew as big as an elephant, McCart Crow started terrorizing the patrons at the art expo.

**XxoxX**

During Lilith's makeup presentation, Julianna as Presley Beth was being Lilith's makeup model However, Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee were the only ones there. Realizing this, Julianna knew that nobody at CKH liked Lilith and her gang because she was mean and cruel.

"So, Presley Beth," said Lilith with a fiendish grin, "how do you like the clown makeup we gave you?"

"I think you should use less," suggested Julianna as Presley Beth while fixing the makeup a little.

Lilith and her gang were a little confused, but they decided to let her go.

**XxoxX**

Once Julianna as Presley Beth barged out, she spotted her twin sister in the hall. They quickly swapped their jackets and hats.

After they placed their hats on, Dreamheart gave them a vision of McCart Crow wrecking the art expo at the mall. Knowing that this would upset Mavis deeply, Presley Beth and Julianna decided to go and save the Kansas City Art Expo before its too late.

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

When they arrived at the art expo, they could see McCart Crow destroying fine art. Seeing a fox and crow painting, Mew Mew Peanut Butter got an idea.

"Remember in some versions of the story, 'The Fox And The Crow'" asked Mew Mew Peanut Butter, "The fox tricked the crow by dropping the piece of cookie into the fox's paw. So, maybe we can trick McCart Crow into the candy shop."

"Good idea, Sis" replied Mew Mew Jelly, "And don't worry, The NSA will cover all the candy eaten."

Using their buggy skills, Mew Mew Peanut Butter and Mew Mew Jelly tossed as many candy as they could to the evil crow. And then, it was time for their final attack.

Mew Mew Peanut Butter got out her Silky Lasso while Mew Mew Jelly got out her Anartia Fans.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Everyone cheered, including a Tennessee gay couple. In a glimpse, they recognize them as their adoptive fathers. "What are Papa Willie and Papa Darwin doing here?" Mew Mew Jelly whispered.

"Don't know." whispered Mew Mew Peanut Butter, "But we better head over to Meredith's Masterpiece ASAP, she said that she has something important."

Within the rooting fans, was a glaring Elthunt. \*I don't know how they do it.\* he thought to himself, \*But their going to get what's coming to them!"\*

**XxoxX**

An hour later, they arrived at Meredith's Masterpiece. Mavis was franting around about Saul's critique when she spots Presley Beth and Julianna with their stetson and bonnet on, "How long have you had those hats?"

"Since we were babies." replied Presley Beth, "Papa Willie and Papa Darwin said they belonged to our real mothers, so they decided not to give it to us until we're five. We do wear it on certain days so we won't wear it out."

Hearing what they said, Mavis smiled with relief "Presley Beth, Julianna" Mavis said, "Your real mother, is me."

Presley Beth and Julianna were surprised, their teacher's best friend and art instructor outside school is their biological mother. "It all makes sense now." Julianna replied, "The peanut butter and jelly painting you have, our brown hair and cute smiles, and our incredible dancing skills."

"What I don't get is?" Presley Beth asked, "Why did you give us up for adoption.

"It was a long time ago" answered Mavis, "I was also a gifted dancer. You may have seen me on a season on Let's All Dance Until We're Sick. A month after It I met one of my LADUWS friends bandmates. We only hooked up for one night and even did a you know what. The next day, my parents found me and took me home. They told me that he's a bad influence and banned me forever from seeing him. A few months later, I learned I was pregnant with you two. Worried that I would distract you from my dream of being a painter and letting my parents down, I gave you up to my old college friend's brother and his husband."

"What happened to Dad?" Julianna asked.

"He died from accidentally strangling himself during a performance." Mavis answered as she shedded tears from her face, "I miss him."

By the door, Papa Willie and Papa Darwin arrived to see their adoptive daughters. "Hey Papas Willie and Darwin," Presley Beth replied, "We know that Mavis is our real mother and that she gave us up so she can pursue her passion."

"You had to know sooner or later, " replied Papa Darwin, "That's why we drove out here. My sister, 'Aunt Laylah' and Mavis were members of the Kansas City Art Society back in the days."

"And of course," recalled Presley Beth, "Aunt Laylah had to move back to Tennessee so you two can have a mother figure."

"That is true for a child of a gay couple to have a father or mother figure to them." Julianna recalled.

"Am I interrupting something?" asked Saul from the corner, "I just got out of the gallery and I must say, Mavis, that is some fine art you got. The lines were a little off, but they do display good ocean backgrounds. Also, the light paint on the horse paintings really show Tennessee power. I'm giving it a four star."

Observing his feared face, she knew that Presley Beth bravely stood up to him as Julianna in order to save Meredith's Masterpiece's reputation. Not wanting to get her reputation bad, she played along.

After Saul left, Papa Willie and Papa Darwin looked at Presley Beth and Julianna, "Did you two switch places again?" asked Papa Willie.

"We did." Julianna replied honestly, "We wanted to help Mav-, I mean, Mom out."

Instead of being mad, Papa Willie and Darwin let it slide, because they just find out that Mavis is their real mother.

The End

**Chapter 37: A Game of Mouse Trapping**

In the school kitchen, Vada was going around the place to make sure that the snacks were ready for the annual bake sale.

"This smells delicious," she commented. "If this bake sale hits the goal of 1000 dollars this will be the best bake sale ever. It was nice of Mrs. Georgeson to let me be one of the volunteers."

Suddenly, she felt the urge to go to the bathroom and decided to take a bathroom break. "I shouldn't have dranken that much strawberry milk at lunchtime."

Little did she know was that Coach Landon was coming in to see how the cakes look. Looking at them, she could see that the pastries were beautiful, which she hated. The dessert that she hated the most was the cupcakes. Looking at a freshly made set of cupcakes, she got a devious idea.

"Hey, everyone!" shouted Coach Landon. "Their doing a movie shoot called 'Time After True Colors' outside and they need extras."

The volunteers fell for the trick by leaving the cafeteria kitchen. First she tossed the brownies out, then she stomped the cinnamon buns on the ground, finally, she took the beautiful cupcakes and tossed them at the door.

"Coach Landon," growled Vada from the kitchen door, "those people worked very hard on those cupcakes."

"I liked them covered in mud," Coach Landon growled back with a sinister smile. "What is this bake sale for anyway?"

"All the money all going to go to the pet shelter," Vada explained. "The place needs new pet toys for the daycare center."

"Owning a pet is lame," insulted Coach Landon. "But handling bugs is better, and your one of them."

Vada was so mad at Coach Landon's insults, she tossed a pie at her and Coach Landon left in anger. Vada could remember her sister's pet dogs, Jingle and Silver, and they use to sneak into her room and make a mess. Now that she was away, she wouldn't have any doggy troubles. Although, she had more troubles for herself. "Thanks to Coach Landon ruining the treats," she said to herself, "the pet shelter will never get new toys."

Suddenly, she remembered that she was a chef and decided to take care of the baked goodies herself.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile on his ship, Poach was taking some dirty laundry to Elthunt's room. "Boss, you realize that there's a laundromat?" he asked.

"I know," Poach replies. "But still, tossing dirty laundry is a classic prank, and I still don't remember buying this sequin blue dress."

"That's mine!" shouted Arethra as she grabbed the dress from his hands. "I just stole that from Planet Deserspring. Latest design by Mera Oan."

"Take it easy, Aretha!" shouted Elthunt. "No need to smell a rat."

"Or maybe a mouse," replied McCart Bug. "I've got an idea."

Getting out another McCart Bug, he told the little critter to find a mouse on Earth and turn it into a monster.

**XxoxX**

At an Indian restaurant, a mouse was sneaking around the place trying to find a crumb. Behind her, a McCart Bug bit her and turned her into McCart Mouse.

**XxoxX**

Back at CKH, Vada was placing in a batch of brownies when The ACS girls came in. "We got your text," said Harley. "What seems to be the problem?"

"We're having a bake sale that'll help the local pet shelter with new animal toys," explained Vada.

"Yay!" shouted the girls gleefully.

"Unfortunately," Vada replied sadly. "Coach Landon destroyed all the goodies on purpose."

"Boo!" replied the girls.

"This is an outrage," growled Carla. "Our gym teacher ruining the bake sale by sabotaging these treats?"

"But we can fix it, girls," Julianna advised. "If anyone can save the bake sale, we can."

Quickly, the ACS started working on the new batches of food.

After she got the new cupcakes out, Vada got a vision Dreamheart about a monstrous mouse causing trouble at Jewel Revelations. Knowing her culture Saatvika had to go and save the restaurant.

"We'll handle this," Vada replied. "The rest finish the treats."

*Mew Mew Vanila, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Later as they reached Jewel Revelations, they saw McCart Mouse destroying a cart filled with cheese.

"Getting a stinky feeling?" asked Mew Mew Vanilla, "We are."

By the VIP table, Aretha came out eating some curry, "I'm glad to see you met our own McCart Mouse," she said with a mouthful of curry, "courtesy of our McCart Bugs."

"I thought they were called Poach Bugs," inquired Vanilla.

"Sometimes they're called Poach Bugs, sometimes they're McCart Bugs," Aretha clarified. "But enough dilly dallying. I got to go find Crossni before she destroys more cupcakes."

Once she left, McCart Mouse fought off the Fox and Chameleon Mew Mew. Mew Mew Vanilla used her Freezing Flute while Mew Mew Sundae used her Illusion Staff.

"How are we going to stop them?" Vanilla asked.

Mew Mew Sundae looked at a bunch of leftover Indian food and got an idea. "You know how kids love food fights?" she asked, "My little brother loves to do food fights."

Seeing her friend's smile, Mew Mew Vanilla smiled too. "Well then," she said, "Get ready for one kitchen clean up."

In a flash, Mew Mews Vanilla and Sundae tossed food at McCart Mouse. Then it was time for the final call.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Just like that, McCart Mouse changed back into a regular mouse and scampered off.

**XxoxX**

A few hours later, the bake sale was going on. Everywhere, patrons lined up to buy the goods, including ones that weren't on the sales list.

"Check out these snacks," said Chanel. "Chocolate éclairs, vanilla coconut rice dumplings, Strawberry gulab jamun, red velvet tres leches cake, apple Haitian cake, honey biscuits, and peanut butter and jelly cream pies. This is just like the desserts the ACS represent."

"Hey, girls," Ms. Benjamin said, "I hope you don't mind, but I asked a local baker to make desserts based on your personalities."

Presley Beth was so amazed by the peanut butter and jelly cream pie, she pied herself with one. The ACS girls were confused because it's funnier to pie someone else, instead they clearly remembered when Lilith tricked them with the pie-bush.

"That's okay," Ms. Benjamin explained. "I told Presley Beth not to pie anyone during the bake sale and she can only pie herself with one pie, because a whole pie has a lot of calories.

"Hey, Kiki," greeted Coach Howland.

"Zander!" exclaimed Kiki. "You're here for the bake sale too?"

"Yeah," replied Coach Howland. "Figure I needed a little sugar every now and again. I do make junk food fun with baked chips, veggie chips, and low fat pastries."

"So do we," answered the ACS girls.

"I mean," Kiki replied, "if you really do a 100% health diet, BORING!"

During the bake sale, Harley was about to touch a bag of snickerdoodles when another hand came up. It was Curtis; he was going to buy some snacks for later on.

"Nice job saving the bake sale." he commented. "A lot of the volunteers were pretty mad at Coach Laupnet for tricking them into going at a movie shoot. I have an uncle who's a talent agent and knows that only professional agencies hire kids for TV and movie work."

"That's cool," replied Harley. "I'm getting some honey chocolate cupcakes, which is my mom's favorite flavor."

"Tell me about her," said Curtis. "It's okay to talk about your feelings."

"My mom was a gifted photographer," Harley explained. "She'd even printed fliers for our circus. I'm hoping wherever she is, she'll be alright."

Wanting to share their feelings and snacks, both Curtis and Harley decided to eat in the courtyard. While they were enjoying themselves, they looked at each other and blushed.

**The End.**

**Chapter 38: Harey Problem**

It was early in the morning and Chanel punched her alarm clock, "Come on girls!" shouted Chanel, "We got class in 30 minutes!"

"Chı̀" replied Vada.

"Haan" replied Saatvika.

**XxoxX**

Harley was texting Julianna a reminder not to let Presley Beth sleep in again. She turned to her roommates and said, "Did you two remember your math homework?"

"Si" Carla answered.

"Oui" Danna answered, "And I've just written a French Tropical song for a special someone."

Hearing this, Chanel blushed.

**XxoxX**

After they got dressed, they spotted some bunnies bouncing around. Vada, Julianna, Carla, Harley, and Saatvika were delighted by their cuteness, but Chanel and Presley Beth were disgusted and Dana was nervous.

"Come on," Presley Beth groaned. "We gotta get breakfast. They're serving carrot cake pancakes in the cafeteria."

Hearing the word "carrot," the bunnies bounced out. Before they had a chance to get to the cafeteria, Dana trapped them in a big cage. Knowing that Dana was a pet expert, they decided to ask her what was going on, "Ugh...Dana," asked Vada, "what's with the bunnies?"

"The pet shelter is asking me to look after them, and I need a place for them to sleep.," Danna explained.

"You were hiding pets in the closet, again, were you?" asked Harley, "If I get one spec of rabbit fur on me, my uncle would freak."

"I've rarely seen anyone scared of rabbits" Danna groaned, "That's just silly."

"Danna" shouted Harley, "There's something you have to know?"

"Not now, Harley" replied Danna.

Before Harley had a chance to correct her, Dean Dennis started to sneeze like crazy. "Uncle Allen!" she shouted as she started comforting her uncle. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," groaned Dean Dennis. "It's just someone has brought rabbit fur here."

"It's my fault," Dana confessed, "I didn't know this was your office and that you were allergic."

"We're all to blame," confessed Chanel, "We were trying to round them up before you catch us."

"I know that your close friends of my niece," Dean Dennis admitted, "but I'm afraid that's detention."

"We accept it, Uncle Allen," Harley replied. "We need you to get better."

**XxoxX**

After school, the eight girls were sent to the detention room. In the room, they saw that the only ones there were Lilith and Leighton. Lilith was there because she was caught cheating on a test again, and Leighton was there because she snuck into the teacher's lounge for the gossip column of the school paper. By the door, a familiar face walked in, "Ms. Benjamin?" asked Harley "You're the detention supervisor?"

"Mr. Geary has a doctor's appointment today," Ms. Benjamin answered, "so I'm filling in for him. Since I don't want you girls twiddling your thumbs for one hour, we'll be cleaning up the music dept."

Leighton was thrilled, because she remembered taking piano lessons as a kid and was willing to do a report on the music dept.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile in his ship, Poach McCartnet was looking down on Earth, thinking of a way to rid of the Mew Mews once and for all. As he was going through his plans, he saw a poster of a Poach Hare, which he hadn't done in 60 years. "After six decades," smiled Poach, "I should probably use this old bad boy."

He sent out a McCart Bug down to Earth to find a hare. At Loose Park, a hare was reminding it's business when the bug bit it and turned the fuzzy creature into a monster.

**XxoxX**

In the music department, everyone was doing their work. Chanel, Dana, Julianna, and Presley Beth were sweeping the floors, Harley, Carla, Vada, and Saatvika were polishing the windows, and Lilith was grumbling and moping the floors at the same time, "Oh, great," she complained. "Dumb old music department. Everyone in this dumb wing sounds like gargling monkeys."

Kiki was upset, because Lilith just insulted her inner animal. As they were cleaning up, Lilith tried to get a hard stain out, but nothing worked. Quickly, Leighton found out that her problem was that Lilith was using a soap for windows when she should be using one for the floor.

As she was looking through her dance magazines, she got a notification on her phone, revealing the latest news about what's happening in Kansas. Poach Hare was going around a miniature golf course scaring away customers. Knowing that they have to act fast, she had to do something get a few girls out of detention to stop the monster hare.

Kiki thought real hard, then she spotted her magazine and got an idea, "Okay now," she announced. "I know we don't allow physical punishments in detention, but I thought we could have a little fun while we're cleaning." Taking a few feather dusters, she did a little dance routine in it while tilting her head. Observing carefully, Harley knew that a few of them had to sneak out in order to stop a monster.

Chanel suggested that herself, Dana, Presley Beth, and Julianna should go.

As they were doing the dance, Chanel, Dana, Presley Beth, and Julianna snuck out and were ready to transform.

**XxoxX**

"Mew Mew Chocolate!"

"Mew Mew Dumpling!"

"Mew Mew Peanut Butter!"

"Mew Mew Jelly!"

At the miniature golf course, Poach Hare was eating orange golf balls, thinking that they were carrots. Mew Mew Chocolate used her The Striped Sword against the monster, Mew Mew Dumpling used her Crested Umbrella, Mew Mew Peanut Butter swinged her Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly used her Anartia Fans. Not knowing what to do, Mew Mew Chocolate used her sword to free the other golf balls, which caused the Poach Hare to slip and slide.

\*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,

Mew Mew Style in your face!\*

Just like that, Poach Hare turned back into a normal hare.

As everyone was cheering for the Mew Mews, Mew Mew Jelly spotted a healthy Dean Dennis was a flirtatious Nurse that looked a lot like something from a beauty magazine. "Is that Dean Dennis with Nurse Millward?" she whispered to her twin sister.

"Yeah," whispered Mew Mew Peanut Butter. "And look down."

Looking down, she could see that their holding hands, which means one thing.

\*Dean Dennis is in love,\* Mew Mew Jelly thought to herself. \*Wait until Harley hears about this.\*

**XxoxX**

Back at Cyrus K. Holliday Boarding School, Lilith and Leighton were both learning a few steps from Grease when Chanel, Dana, Presley Beth, and Julianna came in, "Nice timing girls," whispered Harley. "We're lucky that Lilith was too busy getting her dance moves right while Leighton writes down her report on dancing in detention."

"'Dancing in Detention'," whispered Dana. "That sounds like a good article name."

"By the way," Julianna whispered, "we saw your uncle with Nurse Millward. I think they're dating."

"Talk about 'Hello Nurse'," replied Presley Beth quietly.

"They \*are\* dating," whispered Harley. "Two years ago, Nurse Lylah Millward was trying to look for a job when she spotted my uncle panicking about a shortage of bandages and cough medicine. Nurse Millward calmed him down by giving him the latest issue of Medical Mayhem Magazine. Seeing an article on the top brand on bandages and cough medicine, he hired and fell in love with her, "Faculty members dating each other," laughed Lilith. "That's highly lame."

"This won't be good for the Cyrus K Chronicle," groaned Leighton. "I like Dean Dennis and Nurse Millward together, just like Coach Howland and Ms. Benjamin."

Feeling nervous, Ms. Benjamin looked and her watch and realizes that detention is over. "Okay, girls," she announced. "Remember to be more careful when it comes to allergies, tests, and privacy."

"We will," everyone agreed, except for Lilith, who would rather go to the mall than listen to Ms. Benjamin.

**XxoxX**

Later that night at the lounge, Dean Dennis and Nurse Millward were enjoying the movie "Titanic" when Harley comes in with some popcorn, "You got the kind with extra butter," Dean Dennis smiled. "My favorite."

"Hey Uncle Allen" replied Harley, "Danna took the rabbits back to the pet shelter, so we won't see you have an allergy attack and we cleaned up the music dept. for you."

"That's good," replied Dean Dennis, "Because the janitorial team is at that cleanliness convention in Topeka and someone's gotta keep the place spotless. We don't want any trash talk."

Nurse Millward laughed at his little joke, "Oh, Allen" she smiled, "You and your humor."

Harley smiled at the cute couple.

**The End.**

**Chapter 39: Hungry Like The Wolf**

At Meredith's Masterpiece, all the members of the ACS were gathered for a special meeting. They were also wearing black metallic dresses that Saatvika had just gotten from India.

"So what is this all about?" asked Carla.

Behind them, a Caucasian girl with brown hair and purple highlights and a Latina girl with sapphire jewelry came in. With one glimpse, Saatvika knew who they were. "Renee Roberts and Corina Claudia Bucksworth? I can't believe that you two are here."

Ms. Benjamin explained that Renee and Corina were getting married in Kansas City because of the view and to catch up with Kiki after they graduated school.

"You girls look so adorable in those black metallic outfits," commented Corina.

"Dhanyavaad," replied Saatvika. "These were left over costumes from the Bollywood movie 'Arcane Island,' where I played the daughter of the main villain."

"I know that movie," recalled Renee, "Your movie dad was a bug poacher. Reminds me of the little bugs that Cyniclons use."

"You mean the Parasites?" asked Saatvika. "How can I forget?"

"We only brought you here so you can have a wardrobe test for their wedding," explained Harley.

"That's good," Kiki replied, "because I told Corina and Renee that you'll be performing at their wedding tomorrow."

"We're performing?" asked Harley in shocked.

"They're getting married tomorrow?" The others asked in the same expression as Harley.

"Of course," replied Renee. "We figured we could get married in the new town that Kiki lives, figuring that this is a good chance to catch up with her since graduation."

"And it's the home of sunflowers," Corina continued as she took her fiancé's hand.

"I like sunflowers," Carla admitted. "I'll get the ramo for you."

"You're getting my bouquet?" asked Corina. "Okay."

**XxoxX**

The next day, on their ship, Poach was reading the latest celebrities weddings on Space Marriage Magazine. On the cover they had singing sensation and real estate tycoon get married on Planet Mewni. This reminded him so much have Zakuro and Mint, two former Mew Mews.

"Weddings are suppose to be the happiest day of their lives," he recalled. "So perhaps I can make it the \*saddest\* day of their lives."

He sent out a McCart Bug to find an innocent animal to monsterize.

**XxoxX**

Near the chapel where Renee and Corina were suppose to marry. A stray wolf tried to sneak in, but a security guard kicked the poor beast out of the wedding. Little did it know, is that the McCart Bug stung the beast and it turned into a monster.

**XxoxX**

At the reception tent at the park, Kiki, Zoey, and the ACS were checking up the preparations for the wedding when Corina and Renee came in holding hands.

Harley was petrified by this, "It's bad luck to look at your sweetheart before the wedding," she explained. "This happened to my parents' wedding, and all because Uncle Allen wanted her opinion on my dad's bow tie."

"Doesn't your uncle worry so much?" asked Zoey.

"He does," admitted Harley.

"Speaking of your uncle," Ms. Benjamin replied as she popped up behind them, "I heard that he set food at the local jewelry store. I saw him going in while getting groceries. Fenfang ate all the bananas again."

"He must be getting new cuff links," Harley guessed. "The ones that he wore since his college days were getting really old."

With a big smile, Ms. Benjamin thought up something else.

"And, Corina," Carla interupted as she got a bouquet and gave it to Corina, "here's the ramo de girasoles for your wedding. There was a tienda de flores by the mall that makes organic flowers."

"I love them," commented Corina. "We chose sunflowers cause they're Kansas's national flower."

The Mini-Mews were eating the extra pomegranate and mint macaroons when they sensed danger. "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn!"

Corina, Renee, and Zoey were confused. Kiki explained to them that Mew Mew Infinity's Mini-Mews shout "Wéixiǎn!" whenever there was danger. Still having their old Mew Pendants for good luck, they decided to join in.

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

In downtown Kansas City, McCart Wolf was terrorizing the good patrons.

"We're on the hunt, we're after you!" shouted Mew Mew Pudding.

McCart Wolf growled and attacked. Mew Mew's Strawberry, Mint, Zakuro, and Pudding used their Strawberry Bell, Heart Bow and Arrow, Purple Dagger, and Golden Tambourine to attack. Wanting to help their teacher, The Mew Mew Infinity used their weapons against it.

Just then, Dumpling remembered something. "In a story," she recalled, "a boy named David played his harp to put a king to sleep. So maybe if I get a lyre, it could put the monster to sleep. Turning her head, she saw a bunch of scared street performers. "Mind if I borrow this?" she asked as she picked up a lyre.

The lyre player nodded his head, and Dumpling flew up to him. "Hey, wolfie!" she shouted. "Time to crank the tunes!" Softly she played Heart's "These Dreams" on it, and it made McCart Wolf fall asleep. Everyone rooted for Dumpling's solo. Chanel, on the other hand, gazed at Dumpling lovingly.

"J'aime ta musique (I love your music)," Chanel sighed.

"Now let's tie things up!" shouted Mew Mew Honey.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Just like that, the McCart Wolf turned back into a regular wolf.

Mew Mew Dumpling quickly gave the lyre back to the street performer.

"There's only one thing left to do, girls," Ms. Benjamin said. "Renee and Corina's wedding."

**XxoxX**

An hour later, the Mew Mews, the CKH students and faculty, and the street performers came to Corina and Renee's wedding. Mr. Janson was preceding over the wedding, because he's a licensed justice of the peace. "Do you, Corina Bucksworth, take Renee Roberts as your meant-to-be?" he asked.

"I do," answered Corina as she placed the wedding ring onto Renee."

"And do you, Renee Roberts, take Corina Bucksworth as your meant-to-be?" asked Mr. Janson.

"I do," answered Renee as she placed the wedding ring onto Corina.

"I now pronounce you two married," said Mr. Janson.

With one kiss, everyone cheered for Renee and Corina.

"I always cry at weddings," admitted Harley, "even if it's a gay or lesbian wedding."

**XxoxX**

During the bouquet toss, Kiki rushed up did a leap, and grabbed the bouquet. Everyone was impressed by Ms. Benjamin's bouquet catch, especially Coach Howland.

"After hanging out with the little ones at the kiddy table, eating her cake slice like a real monkey, and making monkey noises during our dance," Zander said, "I'm finally impressed by Kiki's behavior at the reception."

"Okay now!" shouted Mr. Janson. "Let's warm thing up a notch! Please give a warm welcome to the Animal Caretakers Society and their dance to Duran Duran's 'Hungry Like the Wolf'!"

At one table, Kiki and Zoey were both watching the ACS dance like monkeys to a song about wolves.

Secretly, by the reception table, the Mini-Mews took a slice of wedding cake and they all ate it. Lo and Mein observed the girls' dance and decided to get in on the act. Turning invisible, they shot out sparkles out of their mouths. The other Mini-Mews joined in as the ACS finished their dance.

"Alrighty!" shouted Mr. Janson. "Time for the main attraction. Mrs. and Mrs. Roberts-Bucksworth, time for your first dance."

As the DJ started playing Heart's "What About Love," Corina and Renee waltz gracefully to the song.

Zoey, Kiki, and the Mini-Mews awwed at their dance. "Zo," said Kiki, "wouldn't this be a wedding for you if you never left Mark?"

Zoey thought about Mark and how he left her.

Back then, she was running off to Mark after a mission against the Cyniclons. It was the same time she got the Strawberry Scepter. The minute she found Mark in the rain, she realized that her battle against the Cyniclons was more important than her love for Mark. So, she decided to dump him for her duty.

"You did the right thing, Zoey," said Kiki. "We had to stop the ongoing battle against the Cyniclons first. The way we took down Deep Blue and his goons by combining our Mini-Mews with our weapons and liberating his world, we decided to go our separate ways. You running your shop, me working at an aquarium, Renee resuming her acting career, Corina being a dancer, and Kiki being a dance teacher."

As Corina and Bridget were coming up to them, Kiki got an idea. "GROUP HUG!" she shouted as she hugged her former Mew Mews. "Come on, you happy couple! Come on in and join the party!"

Harley got out her camera and said, "Say, 'Mew Mew'!"

"Mew Mew!" shouted the five Mew Mews as Harley took their picture.

"Listen up, good people!" shouted Dean Dennis as he and Nurse Nurse Millward came onstage. "I have an announcement!"

Dean Dennis turned to Nurse Millward and bent down on his knee. "Lylah," he said passionately, "you helped me control my fear of most things and find better suggestions besides needles, and here's one needle I need to fix." He got out a box, revealing a heart shaped ring. Lylah became astonished by it.

"Will you become my bride?" asked Dean Dennis.

With tears in her eyes, Lylah smiled. Dean Dennis placed the ring on her, they kissed each other, and everyone applauded.

Harley was thrilled because she is going to have an aunt.

**The End.**

**Note: Corina's middle name is homage to her Spanish dub actress, Claudia Chavarro.**

**Chapter 40: A Dream A Dove**

Saatvika, Presley Beth and Juliana were having some chicken breasts stuffing and bananas for lunch. On Presley Beth's, she spread peanut butter on her banana. It was peanut butter and banana sandwich without the bread. After she took a bite she saw that Miss Benjamin was tired, "I do declare" said Julliana, "This dance competition means a lot to Miss. Benjamin"

"I know" agreed Saatvika, "Practicing for the show for a month would do that for you."

After she ate up her lunch, she lied down on the ground, much to the horror of the students. "Don't worry partners" shouted Presley Beth, "We're going to take her to the nurse's office."

By the ankle, Presley Beth grabbed Miss. Benjamin to the nurse's office. Worried that she'll get hurt even more, Saatvika and Juliana helped them out.

XxoxX

In the nurse's office, Coach Landon was going over some homework for health class, \*I would rather make out with Coach Howland than grade Earth homework\* she thought to herself.

Saatvika, Presley Beth, and Juliana came in with an exhausted Kiki Benjamin. Coach Landon was confused because she thought that Miss. Benjamin was suppose to be in the competition, but overworking herself made her exhausted, "She's entering the competition in order to get some extra money for the school's music dept. Coach Landon suddenly became disgusted because of their \*charity work\*. Think about what they said, she could lie to Coach Howland and compete in the competition with him.

XxoxX

In the employee lounge, Coach Howland was having some ramen noodle when he spotted Coach Landon coming in with a false sad face, "Coach Landon" Coach Howland asked in consideration, "What happened?"

"Miss. Benjamin broke her leg while practicing her dancing" Coach Landon lied, "Now that she won't be teaching, someone has to compete in the Valentine's Day dance competition without you. Maybe I could"

Without any other option, Coach Howland decided to do it.

XxoxX

Meanwhile on his ship, Poach McCartnet was working on a traditional alien dance when got word that his spy was going to cheat in the Valentine's Day dance competition in order to steal the money, for fire. Fearing that the Mew Mews would ruin his evil plans, he sent another one of his robotic bugs to keep them distracted.

XxoxX

On Earth, a McCart Bug found a dove eating worms and bit it, turning it into a mutant dove

XxoxX

Meanwhile, Coach Landon was being the substitute advisor for the Animal Caretakers Society, much to the horror of the girls. They knew that if Coach Landon found out about the real option, everything would be ruined. Outside, the McCart Dove was using his supersonic scream. While the girls watch in horror, Coach Landon smiled evilly.

Thinking quickly Carla got out some cupcakes she got at the school store and did some juggling, "Who says you can have junkfood in your school clubs?" Coach Landon asked angrily, "It'll turn you into a pig."

"Relax, Coach" giggled Carla, "These are low-fat cupcakes. Dean Dennis says that CKH Boarding School sells low fat pastries and baked potato chips in case of any junk food cravings."

Outraged, Coach Landon tried to confiscate the cupcakes, only for Carla and Harley to toss them at her. Then Harley got out a pie she was working on for their targeting practice and tossed it at her, "Saatvika, Presley Beth, Juliana" she whispered, "Go stop the McCart Dove while Coach Landon is distracted."

In the empty hallway, the three Mew Mews transformed.

*Mew Mew Sundae*

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter*

*Mew Mew Jelly*

*Metamorphosis*

XxoxX

At the dance competition, competitors were getting ready when they spotted the giant dove, "Hey, Birdface!" shouted Mew Mew Sundae, "It's the Time Of Their Life."

McCart Dove was angered by the appearance of the three Mew Mews. During the fight Mew Mew Sundae used her Illusion Staff, Mew Mew Peanut Butter used Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly used her Anartia Fans.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Dove was turned back into a regular dove. Everyone cheered for the Mew Mews, including Mavis, who is one of the judges in the competition. In her hands, a cat with super pointy ears came up and petted them, "Looks like Mavis has got a new roommate" guessed Presley Beth"

"Actually," corrected Mavis, "I had this cat for five years. 'Kaliyah' must've got out when I left my window open before air. My psychiatrist told me that it helps soothes nerves. I've been getting this sort of thing ever since I have up two valuable things."

Mew Mew Sundae, Mew Mew Peanut Butter and Mew Mew Jelly were confused, but they decided to go back to CKH to check on Miss. Benjamin and the other girls. Also, tomorrow is their weekly room inspection and they don't want PB to get in trouble for having a messy room again.

XxoxX

Back in the nurse's office, Kiki was starting to recover from all that dancing. By the peek of the door, she could see an angry Coach Landon changing. It turns out Coach Landon is actually Crossni Laupnet. "This is an outrage," growled Coach Landon, "I think I have pie in my ear."

Angry and horrified, Kiki opened the door, "I knew I hated your for a reason" said Miss. Benjamin angrily as Crossni turned around.

"Well, well, well" laughed Crossni "The Pale Pudding has found out who I really am. Poach sent me here to find trouble on this miserable planet. After I heard rumors of your lame Mew Mew Power, we had to do something about if."

"You deceitful alien!" exclaimed Kiki.

"And it is true that I love Coach Howland," professed Crossni "The minute your out of the picture, I'll marry him and becomes Coach Howland-Laupnet."

"You can't marry him that fast" explained Kiki, "They'll think your crazy."

*Mew Mew Pudding Metamorphosis*

In the office, Mew Mew Pudding and Crossni fought off each other's. Little did they know is that the other girls saw the whole thing and were paralyzed that Coach Landon and Crossni are the same person, "This does explain why she's so rude to the other students" admitted Harley as she adjusted her glasses, "We got to help her.

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis*

As both faculty members barged through the door, the girls posed, "Hello Coach!" replied Harley "Sounds like you won't be cheating in the competition after all."

"Hello, Mew Mew Pukes!" laughed Crossni, "Poach sent me to Earth to spy on the humans. I never thought that the ACS would actually be a new Mew Mew team."

"Puke on this" shouted Mew Mew Dumpling as she used her Crested Umbrella on her.

By the door, the other three Mew Mews caught up to them, "Looks I won't marry my Zander after all." groaned an semi-conscious Crossni.

Hearing this, Mew Mews Sundae, Peanut Butter and Jelly knew that it was Coach Landon's true alien form. Crossni couldn't handle the girls goody two-shoes behavior, so she left for the spaceship.

XxoxX

Back in the nurse's offices, Miss. Benjamin spotted an injured Coach Howland, "Zander" gasped Kiki, "What are you doing here?"

"Spranged my ankle during soccer practice" explained Coach Landon, "So I called the mayor and forfeited the contest at the last minute."

"I know it's disappointed to cancel at the last minute," admitted Vada, "But it's important for the injured person to rest."

"What happened to Coach Landon?" asked Coach Howland, "Last I saw she came here."

"She resigned" exaggerated Miss. Benjamin "She couldn't take The ACS's love for nature anymore."

"That's a relief" Coach Landon smiled with relief, "A lot of the girls were always complaining about her rudeness and not paying attention to them during a fitness test."

"Now where am I going to find a female gym teacher now?" asked Coach Benjamin,

"You know," replied Coach Howland, "I have a friend from college who might be perfect."

"Thanks, Zander" replied Kiki, "We don't want any complaints of a missing gym teacher."

**The End.**

**Thank you Kelly Preston, you're becoming a true Jetstream.(October 13, 1962 – July 12, 2020)**

**Chapter 41: She Blinded Me With Salamanders**

In a hallway, Saatvika and Rodrigo were finding a quiet place to study for their science test. While looking around, they found a door with cobwebs and dust on it. Not knowing what it said, Rodrigo wiped the dust off of it.

*Zoology 101*

"I read about this in the CKH Handbook," Rodrigo recalled. "This is where they use to dissect salamanders."

Saatvika remembered that her mother was once an exchange student to England where she dissected frogs and it was only thing she hated during her time.

When they got inside the room, they saw old science equipment and fossils of salamanders. Saatvika was sad, because back in the '70s they use to dissect animals and many students hated doing that. Feeling bad for Saatvika's hatred for dissection, Rodrigo comforted her.

"This room is loco," Saatvika admitted.

"I know," Rodrigo replied. "Dean Dennis believed that this room is haunted by salamander ghosts, he dissected a frog once and had a nightmare that frogs were dissecting him. Harley told me about it."

"She told me the same story, too," Saatvika recalled. "This is why he can't have frog legs."

Not wanting to get a bad grade on their science test, they started studying.

**XxoxX**

In the teacher's lounge, Ms. Benjamin was doing a Sugar Rush crossword puzzle when Coach Howland came in with a Latina woman with armpit length black hair and was in gym apparel. When Ms. Benjamin was finished, she spotted Coach Howland with his old college friend. "You must be the new gym teacher," she guessed.

"That's right," the Latina lady replied. "Kailey Viteri, former aerobics major and new girls' gym teacher. Zander has told me all about you and the other Animal Caretaker Society members."

"That's us," Ms. Benjamin chuckled nervously, "learning about Kansas's wildlife."

Coach Viteri was a little confused, but was glad that she had a new job.

**XxoxX**

During gym class the next day, Coach Viteri was teaching gym class to the students. The replacement gym teacher, far better than Coach Landon, delighted everyone. During their game of dodge ball, everyone started gossiping about Rodrigo and Saatvika going into the abandoned Zoology 101 room.

Outside of gym class later on, Coach Viteri was going over some notes when she met the ACS. The girls were stunned, because Coach Viteri was more polite than Coach Landon. "Zander had told me all about you girls," she explained. "I heard rumors that one of you were going into the old Zoology 101 room for studying."

"It was me," admitted Saatvika. "Rodrigo and I wanted some study time. Chanel and Vada were watching a biopic about women's rights, which the acting is considered terrible, the library is being used for a book signing of a 1980s alumni, and Rodrigo's room is being used for a Road Smashers tournament."

Instead of getting irritated, Coach Viteri smiled. "I remember when me and my big brother use to sneak into an old library for some quiet time. Our parents never knew of course, because we only go on Mondays and Thursdays when its not raining outside.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile on his ship, Poach was working on a little plastic wrap on door gambit when he hears Aretha and Crossni come in.

"I can't believe that I blew spying on the human for Poach," complained Crossni.

"Enough complaining," replied Aretha. "We're already having some troubles now."

Just then, Crossni realized something. "If we could do it on live animals," she said, "we can do it on skeletons, too."

Instead of going through the door, they turned away. Poach was so mad at the backfired prank, he fell for his own prank."Darn my backfire pranks." he groaned to himself.

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later on Earth, the McCart Bug was going around the place when it found a skull of a salamander dissected in the '70s.

**XxoxX**

Elsewhere, Saatvika was heading over to the old Zoology 101 when Bok Choy sensed danger, "What is it, Congee?" she whispered to her Mini-Mew.

"Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn! (Danger! Danger!)" answered Congee.

Remembering the advice Ms. Benjamin gave them, Congee sensed danger nearby. Luckily, she remembered that Rodrigo will be running late because he had to return some overdue library books and will be picking up dinner for the two of them.

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis.*

**XxoxX**

In the cafeteria, McCart Salamander was tearing up the place and everyone was running out for safety.

"This is terrible!" Dean Dennis shouted, "The cafeteria is becoming a wreck an the superintendent is going to fire me!"

"No problem, sir!" shouted Mew Mew Sundae from behind. "You get to safety while we handle this!"

Dean Dennis was surprised by Mew Mew Sundae's appearance, but he didn't want to get hurt nor fired. So he did what Mew Mew Sundae said. As quick as she could, Mew Mew Sundae used her chameleon powers and her Illusion Staff to stop McCart Salamander. Suddenly, a group of arrows pop out of nowhere and behind McCart Salamander, were Mew Mew Honey and Lotus Leaf.

"Just in time, Honey!" shouted Mew Mew Sundae.

"I couldn't just leave behind our movie star now, could I?" asked Mew Mew Honey. "Now let's settle this salamander."

Before they could do that, Aretha came out of the kitchen and sang. Using her powerful singing voice, Aretha brainwashed the Mew Mews into being her slaves. Little did Aretha know was that her singing didn't affect Mini-Mews because they were robots. Congee and Lotus Leaf knew they needed to save their owners. Using their big hearts and their tiny brains, they found some metal utensils leftover. Using some cafeteria tableware as a catapult, they aimed the pointy forks towards Aretha and McCart Salamander, causing Mew Mews Sundae and Honey to snap out of the hypnosis.

"I don't know what happened," admitted Mew Mew Honey, "but let's give this salamander a singing feeling."

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Salamander turned back into a fossil. Worried that she would get in trouble, Aretha teleported back to the spaceship.

"What happened?" Mew Mew Sundae asked as she turned back into Saatvika. "The only thing I remember is Aretha's powerful singing."

"Xǐnǎo, Xǐnǎo!" shouted Congee and Lotus Leaf.

"If I remember from my Chinese lectures back in Australia," Mew Mew Honey said as she changed back to Harley, "I say that Aretha must've brainwashed us into being her slaves."

With silent mouths, Congee and Lotus Leaf nodded their heads.

While they were cuddling their owners, Saatvika got a text.

*I'm at Zoology 101, got pizza.*

*Xoxoxo Rodrigo.*

"Go to him, Saat," smiled Harley. "I've got to go to a bingo tournament with Uncle Allen."

With a big smile, Saatvika headed off to Zoology 101 to meet up with Rodrigo.

**XxoxX**

The next day, Saatvika and Rodrigo was taking the ACS, Ms. Benjamin, and Dean Dennis to the abandoned Zoology 101. Dean Dennis wasn't so sure about going in, but Harley encouraged him thanks to some honey almond cookies that Ms. Benjamin made last night. Smiling at his niece, Dean Dennis took a cookie and ate it.

Inside the room, they looked around to find that the place was abandoned and old. Remembering a letter from the superintendent that they needed a study room for those who want to study for tests, he decided to use this as a study room. Everyone cheered.

**The End**

**Chapter 42: Oranginal Opera**

In the teacher's lounge, Dean Dennis was going over some mail when he came across a play that was supposed to be sent to the Dramatic Lotus Theater Company in Kansas City, Missouri. The addresses were a little similar, but the cities were mixed up.

*Mountains of the Orangutan*

After five minutes of reading the script, Dean Dennis got repulsed and gave it to Ms. Benjamin while she was grading homework. "Here, Kiki," groaned Dean Dennis. "You're the only teacher here who's too random to handle this script."

Reading the script within thirty seconds, Ms. Benjamin decided to make the play a reality.

**XxoxX**

After school, Ms. Benjamin told the story of Mountains of the Orangutan via shadow puppetry to the ACS. Everyone applauded for the performance.

"That's cute and all," said Danna, "but how did you add those extra puppets?"

Behind the puppet theater, a funny-looking dodo bird popped up and shook their hands like crazy. "Go-Go Dodo from 'Tiny Toon Adventures'?" asked Presley Beth. "I remember watching your show from Papa Willie's videos."

"He and Papa Darwin kept a VHS player to keep the spirit of videos alive," Julianna explained.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"shouted Go-Go. "We can't forget the '90s. Ms. Benjamin is right about you guys being appreciative of a crazy teacher."

"I just came out of Wackyland from 'Looney Tunes'," Ms. Benjamin explained. "Only those with the cuckooness of Go-Go can make it through."

"You've always had the cuckooness of Go-Go," admitted Julianna. After explaining to the girls that she wanted to put on the play to make a writer's dream come true, they decided to do it.

"We're going to need some faculty advisors," suggested Carla. "Not just Ms. Benjamin; she's too random. Mr. Janson is always too old-school and is too serious for the performance."

"Mates," Harley replied, "only two faculties we know besides Ms. Benjamin are capable of handling this."

**XxoxX**

Later that evening, they were setting up the play in the auditorium while Coach Howland and Nurse Millward were helping out. Coach Howland was rehearsing some dance moves while Nurse Millward was doing a costume test for the girls. As she was testing out her costume, Saatvika saw a picture of Mrs. Millward from a student performance in the late '70s. "Nurse Millward," she asked the school nurse, "isn't that your mom as a teenager?"

Nurse Millward nodded her head. "My mom was the first person in the CKH history to live in Kansas City too," she explained. "In fact, I was also a student here. Due to the fact there isn't any closet space at the Hodge Podge Lodge, Mom and Dad decided that I should stay at the CKH." She could remember being part of the drama department of the CKH and being captain of the cheer squad at the time. She also could recall of the Hodge Podge Lodge letting homeless children attend school there until they or their parents could get a job and pay off a mortgage.

"Aren't the homeless children in the E and F boarding wings?" Harley asked. "'Cause I remember them going to the city's thrift stores all the times."

"That's them, alright," replied Nurse Millward. "I supervise them most of the time so none of them could get hurt."

"Yeah," replied Harley. "I remember Uncle Allen telling me that he joins them once every three months to make sure he can see how well their doing."

**XxoxX**

Over the past three days, they rehearsed the play, worked on vocals, and did a costume check.

**XxoxX**

On the night of the play, everyone was arriving like crazy. Coach Howland had a feeling that Ms. Benjamin had something to do with it, so he went up to her. "How did you get the students to come?" whispered Coach Howland.

"I told them that they can get free pudding if they come," whispered Ms. Benjamin. "Lactose-free, sugar-free, and regular."

"Tips from the nurse," whispered Ms. Benjamin. "Now I'm going to check on it." In the janitor's closet, she spotted Go-Go making a giant pudding bowl out of a janitor's mold holder and stirring it with a mop, "Go-Go," she whispered, "how's the pudding coming along?"

"The Random Pudding is going perfectly," whispered Go-Go. "Plus, my clones are going to be the roadies for the show."

Turning her head, Ms. Benjamin could see Vada and Saatvika looking confused and curious. "What is Random Pudding?" asked Vada.

"Random Pudding is a special pudding made by Go-Go," explained Ms. Benjamin. "He only makes the pudding in a mop bucket."

"That's gross," admitted Vada. "Not to mention total food poisoning."

"Not unless you pour almond milk, banana peels, and whipped cream pies in it," Go-Go replied as he tossed the following ingridients into the vat. Sichuan and Bok Choy flew up to the vat, smelled it and said, "Hào chī! Hào chī! (Yummy! Yummy!)"

After freezing and buzzing, they shouted, "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn!"

Knowing that they only had fifteen minutes until the show started, Vada, Saatvika, and Ms. Benjamin decided to find the danger. Go-Go wanted to join in to, so he replicated himself and told his clones to serve the patrons some pudding, hoping it would buy them time.

*Mew Mew Vanilla, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Pudding, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

Later, the three Mew Mews arrived at an abandoned warehouse by the Kansas City International Airport where they saw Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni smuggling some orangutans from Borneo.

"Borneo?" asked Go-Go quietly, "Boring."

Arethra was hypnotizing the orangutans into following her to a poaching machine. Go-Go and the Mew Mews didn't want to be hypnotized, so they covered their ears.

"Huāshēng! Huāshēng!" whispered Sichuan and Bok Choy.

"Your smelling peanuts?" asked Mew Mew Pudding while using her monkey instincts. "Good thing we can understand other Mew Mews by heart and that we planned to cause a random distraction."

"Random distraction?" asked Mew Mew Vanilla quietly.

"I always have a plan!" Go-Go shouted as he started blowing an air horn. The noise was so loud that Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni turned their heads. Quickly, Elthunt injected a McCart Bug to one of the orangutans and it turned into McCart Orangutan.

"Vanilla, Sundae," shouted Mew Mew Pudding, "distract the orangutan! Go-Go and I will stop Elthunt, Arethra, and Crossni: the wacky way!"

Remembering the peanuts that Sichuan and Bok Choy smelled, Mew Mew Sundae broke them all with her Illusion Staff. Vanilla combined Sichuan with her Freezing Flute, blew some bubbles, lifted the peanuts, and made them rain on McCart Orangutan. One by one, the smuggled orangutans climbed on the orangutan."

"Since we've been hanging out with Ms. Benjamin for so long," realized Mew Mew Vanilla, "care to say the Mew Mew call in Chinese?"

*Miāo miāo fēnggé*

*Miāo miāo ēndiǎn*

*Miāo miāo fēnggé*

*Zài nǐ de liǎn shàng*

Within three seconds, the McCart Orangutan turned back into a normal orangutan and ate the peanuts. "WOOO!" shouted Go-Go from behind, behaving like a sports fan.

"Shouldn't you and Ms. Benjamin be stopping Poach's cohorts?" asked Mew Mew Sundae.

"You mean that psycho space man who pulls pranks?" asked Go-Go. "Ms. Benjamin has a plan to stop those Three Space Stooges and return the smuggled orangutans to Borneo."

Above them, a giant shadow of a Chinese dragon displayed. Immediately, Mew Mews Vanilla and Sundae recognized this as one of their teacher's shadow puppetry skills. The shadow was so real that Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni thought it was real too. So they teleported back to the spaceship. Painting a Borneo landscape on the wall, Go-Go transported the orangutans back to Borneo.

"We better get back to the show," Mew Mew Sundae suggested. "The show must go on."

From his feather, Go-Go got out a giant hole. "I've got a hole in my pocket," he joked doing a Ringo Starr impression, making the three Mew Mews and their Mini-Mews laugh. Quickly they jumped into the hole, which lead them back to CKH.

**XxoxX**

Back at the auditorium, everyone was enjoying some Random Pudding. Thanks to Chanel's powerful smelling for growing up in France, she could tell that Go-Go tainted it. The Mew Mews were all afraid that they could get food poisoning, or worse, turn silly. Instead of those two things, everyone breathed out illusions of Chinese creatures, much to their delight. The Mew Mews were amazed by how Go-Go prevented the show from being a flop.

From the Go-Go hole, Ms. Benjamin, Saatvika, and Vada arrived in the nick of time. "Ni hao." greeted Ms. Benjamin. "What in the name of monkey barrels is going on?"

From the curtain, they could see that everyone was delighted by the Chinese animal illusions. Ms. Benjamin was glad that Go-Go didn't cause a wacky poisoning. Just as soon as she turned her head, she could see that Vada and Saatvika were already in costume, and they'd even didn't go to their dressing rooms. On top, Go-Go placed an Asian comical hat on Ms. Benjamin and changed her apparel into Chinese apparel.

"You gotta be in character," reminded Go-Go as he turned to his clones. "Okay boys! Get ready to bring the house down with our wacky special effects!"

**XxoxX**

During the next hour and a half, they displayed wonderous Chinese culture within the play, along with a bunch of silly random cookooness - courtesy of Go-Go Dodo and his clones. In the end, everyone applauded.

"This is going in the entertainment section as the best CKH comedy EVER!" shouted Leighton.

"Never thought that it'd be this funny," chuckled Curtis.

"And those special effects look so real," laughed Rodrigo.

Backstage, Go-Go and his clones hugged the ACS and turned back into one Go-Go. "Check your phone, Kiki," he advised Go-Go, "and check out the livestream."

On her phone, Ms. Benjamin could see that "Mountains of the Orangutan" had reached five million hits. "Go-Go," replied Saatvika, "there's a strict no-filming policy in theater, unless the managers say it's okay with it."

"Dean Dennis didn't mind it," Ms. Benjamin replied. "I explained to him that the person who wrote it would be wondering why it never got to Missouri. So I decided to post it online for them."

"I bet the writer would be proud of you," replied Presley Beth.

**The End.**

**Chapter 43: Time To Take Out The Trouts**

In the lounge. Mr. Janson was arriving for the annual Clean Lake Caribou, where they cleaned up litter and made sure that the caribou had a nice place to hydrate. Unfortunately, the only ones to show up were Carla, Saatvika, and Rodrigo. Curious, he wondered where the other ACS members were.

Carla stated, "Harley's uncle has a high fever and decided to help Nurse Millward with him, Danna and Chanel are heading off to a poetry reading at another school, and Vada, Presley Beth and Julliana are going to a birthday party for one of Ms. Benjamin's friends' kids."

Saatvika said, "Ms. Benjamin knows how to liven up parties in Kansas City."

"She sure does," replied Mr. Janson. "Last week at one of my friends' bachelor parties, she came in dressed like a monkey and danced to Monkees songs. "

"What a believer," joked Carla.

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later, they were arriving at Lake Caribou when they saw a hot lifeguard that looked like something out of "General Hospital." Rodrigo was amazed by her hot appearance, which made Saatvika jealous.

"Everyone," said Mr. Janson, "this is my niece Kylie. She's the head lifeguard here at Lake Caribou."

"Every year," explained Kylie, "litterbugs poison the lake with their soda bottles, paper, and gum wrappers. Ever since my uncle started this project ten years ago, it reminded many people about who important our H2O is."

"Thanks for the heads-up, Kylie," praised Mr. Janson.

"No prob, Uncle," replied Kylie.

When they got started on cleaning up, Rodrigo thought he could impress Kylie by doing a dance routine. Saatvika was jealous but remembered that this was a school program and didn't want to get in trouble with the teacher. "This is like one of the Green Jesters' music videos about bullying."

"The one where Kalel got jealous of Alaric for flirting with a lifeguard but didn't want to get in trouble?" Carla asked. "I've seen it on Facetube."

"Yeah, that one," replied Saatvika. "I just can't stand in the way of true love. Strawberries are sweet like Zoey, and as a sundae girl I can't go sour."

Carla laughed at Saatvika's joke. Looking up, they could see Rodrigo doing a ballet/ballroom dance routine that Saatvika taught him. Wanting to get involved and avoid jealousy rises, Saatvika joined in.

**XxoxX**

On the other side of the lake, Mr. Janson was picking up litter when he spotted Crossni dancing like a maniac. "Excuse me, miss," he interrupted. "This is a private lake cleaning, and it's closed for today."

"Go mind your own business," Crossni threatened, "or else I'll have to turn one of the trouts into a monster."

Mr. Jason laughed, but Crossni stung a trout with her McCart bug and it turned into a monster. Mr. Janson was so petrified by the appearance of the monster that he ran off.

"Okay, McCart trout," ordered Crossni. "Cause an earthquake Lake Caribou will never forget."

**XxoxX**

Back on their side of the lake, Kylie found a little instrument used for hunting. "Look at this crab trap," she said. "Many people don't know anything about over-fishing. I don't mind eating seafood, but this is all wrong. There aren't even any crabs on Lake Caribou."

Behind them, Mr. Janson told them about his encounter with Crossni. "That psycho dancer has darts that turn trouts into monsters."

"Uncle," scolded Kylie, "have you been eating too many macadamia nuts again? You know that macadamia nuts give you wild conspiracies."

"It's not the nuts, sweetie," admitted Mr. Janson. "It's a real trout monster."

Kylie and Rodrigo thought he was being silly, but Saatvika and Carla secretly believed him. "You two comfort Mr. Janson," advised Carla. "Saatvika and I will handle the job."

Kylie and Rodrigo thought they were going to finish Mr. Janson's job for him, so they agreed with what they were saying.

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

On the other side of the lake, the McCart trout was flipping like crazy, causing a lot of rumbling. Mew Mew Cupcake fought off with her sting ray instincts while Mew Mew Sundae fought with her chameleon instincts. Unfortunately, he was too strong.

"This is great," groaned Mew Mew Sundae. "First my crush hits on Mr. Janson's niece and now a McCart creature is causing a richter-scale ruckus. I'm getting a little crabby here."

Just then, Mew Mew Cupcake remembered the crab trap that Kylie found. Using her Sprinkle Frisbee like a boomerang, she caught the trap, tossed it towards the McCart trout, and it clamped on his face. Then it was time to do the final Mew Mew Pose.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style, In Your Face*

And in a flash, the McCart trout turned back into a regular trout. Mew Mew Sundae felt bad for the little trout, because this reminded her of being trapped in envy. With a wave of her Illusion Staff, she made the trap disappear and the trout was free.

"You had to say 'crabby'," recalled Mew Mew Cupcake.

**XxoxX**

Back on the other side of the lake, Kylie and Rodrigo were giving Mr. Janson some lemonade to calm him down. Carla and Saatvika looked at them and they smiled, knowing that they were working together to help Mr. Janson.

"So, Kylie," flirted Rodrigo, "care to grab some lemonade as well?"

"Sorry, Rodrigo," answered Kylie. "My duty lies at Lake Caribou."

Rodrigo was disappointed because he found out that Kylie was married to her job at a lifeguard. "I wanted to tell you that Kylie is a workaholic," explained Mr. Janson, "but you were so lovestruck."

Saatvika kicked off her shoes and stepped into the litter-free lake. "Hey, Rodrigo!" she shouted. "The water is fine!" Seeing that Saatvika wanted to dip her feet into the water and splash around, Rodrigo kicked off his socks and shoes and joined in on the action.

"Mi hermano and mi amiga," smiled Carla, "have a magnifico time."

**The End**

**Chapter 44: Wild Wings on A Buffalo**

In the forests of Kansas City, Chanel and Danna were camping out for the night. As Danna was sleeping, Chanel stares at her lovingly. In the sky, Chanel imagined star versions of her and Danna ballroom dancing. Before both of them could kiss, a frog croaked, snapping her out of her daydreaming.

As the frog hopped into the distance, Chanel followed it, because she had to do a homework assignment on frogs. As she followed the frog to a log stump with Native-American symbols carved in, she felt something hard. She remembered that tigers had powerful claws, so she decided to go Mew Mew Chocolate on them.

*Mew Mew Chocolate: metamorphosis!*

Sensing her Mew Mew activation, Danna woke up and followed the magic.

As she caught up to her friend, she saw Mew Mew Chocolate digging up a whole. Out of the whole came a time capsule with a familiar label.

*Cyrus K. Holliday*

*Class of '91.*

Seeing this, it was a time capsule from the early '90s of CKH. In the time capsule were some Queen albums, New Kids on the Block posters, Cyndi Lauper accessories, and a few Native-American songs, "These are some strange songs," admitted Danna. "'Well of a Time,' 'Wild Wings on A Buffalo,' 'Vitality Holdings,' and 'Snow Valley'."

Luckily, Danna knew music so she decided to read these for study hall.

**XxoxX**

The next afternoon, Danna needed to get her mind off the songs after reading it so many times. Unfortunately, they played reality shows with musical guests, Top 10 song specials, and live concert performances. Danna couldn't take it, "Alright!" shouted Danna. "I can't take it! I've got to perform those songs!"

Quickly as she could, Danna rushed over to her dorm, got out her guitar, and started playing the songs. Lilith and her crew look at them in confusion. Wanting to humiliate her, they decided to upstage her during their radio gig Friday evening.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Poach was listening to some Radio Kre89 and listening to Horr-Tran and the Stellarnovaz. Dreadfully, he sang their songs. Aretha and Crossni were both arriving to the spaceship when they heard Poach's terrible singing, "Boss!" shouted Crossni. "You know you sing like a Maplebrook Buffalo on Buf-41."

"Come on," whined Poach. "They're a great band."

"What's worse than hearing your voice is cleaning up after the Edgeriver turtles," insulted Crossni as she left.

Offended by the insult, Poach decided to use a Poach Bug on a buffalo on Earth.

XxoxX

The Poach Bug was flying around Kansas City, the bug spotted a visiting buffalo at city hall. As children were coming up to the beast, Poach Bug bit it and made the buffalo into a monster.

XxoxX

Back in Danna's dorm, Danna was having trouble getting the song right. At the door, Chanel came in feeling very concern. "Danna," she asked, "Are you okay? You're going to miss out on the apple creme brûlée in the cafeteria."

"I'm sorry," Danna groaned, "but I'm having trouble getting the right notes to these Native-American songs. So far I got 'Well of a Time,' 'Vitality Holdings,' and 'Snow Valley' done, but now I have to do 'Wild Wings on A Buffalo'."

Remembering from the travel guides, Chanel recalled a music shop that can understand Native-American songs.

XxoxX

After dinner, Chanel and Danna were walking to the shop. During their walk, Chanel could not help but look at Danna.

As they got to Brown Street, they spotted families running away from Poach Buffalo, "Looks like we got a rowdy rodeo on our hands," guessed Danna.

*Mew Mew Dumpling: metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Chocolate: metamorphosis!*

XxoxX

They found Poach Buffalo knocking off a balloon kart and making the balloons float all the way up to the sky. Seeing the crisis, Mew Mew Dumpling realized something.

"I think I finally got the song right," she declared, "Chocolate, care to dance battle while I do the song?"

Hearing this, Mew Mew Chocolate nodded her head. Danna borrowed an old guitar from a group of street performers and started to sing.

*A taste the power of the come and go*

*On the wild wings on a buffalo*

*I've fallen for those in this little land*

*Now i'm with you to have this stand.*

During the performance, Mew Mew Chocolate tricked Poach Buffalo into a dead end. When he got trapped with, Mew Mews Chocolate and Dumpling decided to do the honors.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew grace,*

*Mew Mew Style in your face!*

And just like that, Poach Buffalo changed back into the visiting buffalo. Everyone cheered for the two heroes. After Mew Mew Dumpling returned the guitar to the street performers, she heard them talking the ship name for Mew Mews Chocolate and Dumpling, "Chocolate Dumpling." Hearing the words, Mew Mew Dumpling knew that Mew Mew Chocolate liked her, which made her smile.

**XxoxX**

Later that day, Chanel and Danna went to Riverrock music store, which was the only music shop in town cabable of translating Native American music. Inside, they met the owner, Braylen Underhill, who was a Native-American man with were '90s apparel. After Danna and Chanel explained to them about the songs, he told them that he wrote the songs. It was there they realized that Braylen was a CKH student. He explained to the girls that back in his days, he wrote songs for those that were gay and lesbian, and at that time, gay and lesbian marriage wasn't legal in Kansas. Hoping that the songs would stay safe until legalization, Braylen buried the songs in the time capsule.

During his speech, Chanel looks at Danna and Danna looks at Chanel. Inspired by why he hid them in the time capsule, they decided to perform the songs on the radio show.

**XxoxX**

Two days later, at the CKH School's radio station, Leighton Morce announced the first performance of the songs by since 1991. Vada played the flute, Carla and Presley Beth played guitars, Julianna played the violin, Danna played the drums, and Rodrigo was playing bongos while Saatvika sang the lyrics. Harley and Chanel, on the other hand, were both watching their friends perform.

Afterwards, everyone cheered for the songs written by Braylen Underhill, CKH alumni of 1991.

Just then, Lilith and her crew were coming in late, because they had to freshen up to be on the show.

"Lilith" said Leighton, "you're too late to be on the show. We've been getting posts about Braylen Underhill songs."

Lilith was mad because she missed out on the whole thing, but then Ms. Benjamin came in and told the girls to leave. Afterwards, it was Ms. Benjamin's turn to tell the students about basic Chinese acrobatic steps. Wanting to support their teacher, the others decided to stay.

**The End**

**Author's Note: Brown Street is a homage to Zoey Hanson's voice actress, Amanda Brown.**

**Chapter 45: Cock a Doodle Sketch Doo**

At Meredith's Masterpiece, preschoolers were running around playing with the art supplies. Before a preschooler had a chance to grab some colored pencils, Mavis stoppd him and took him to the kiddy craft table. "Now, now, kids," she said. "Your parents are letting me and a friend look after you. If you all behave, we get to go to the farm festival after we're done. Just as long as we're back by 6pm."

Hearing the words "farm festival," the preschoolers cheered like crazy. By the stairs, Harley was coming down. "Your bedroom sure smells like honey," she said, "thanks to those fireless scented candles."

"Yeah, well," Mavis replied, "fire safety is no laughing matter. Thanks again for helping out, Harley. Working at Meredith's Masterpiece is the perfect after school job for any student in the school district here."

"Since Chanel and Danna are doing laser tag at the mall, Vada is tutoring on cooking, and Saatvika, Carla, Presley Beth, and Julliana are at the bookstore for the 60% off of Rainbow Magic products, I figure I could work here," Harley replied back. "Also, that farm festival would be a perfect project for the ACS."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, fun was going on at the Kansas City farm festival. There were horse-riding, maple cotton candy makers, butter statues, and petting zoos. At a cheese-sampling table, patrons were enjoying the cheese when the scent of apple cinnamon distrupted their taste buds. It was Elthunt John, he was disturbing the patrons disguised as an air freshner salesman and disturbing them with his freshners. Though the patrons of the farm festival were annoyed by Elthunt's carelessness, he didn't care.

At a chicken coop, Elthunt got an idea. "If I could just make a rooster into a McCart Monster," he said to himself, "they can buy the air freshners I stole."

After he got a bug out from his keytar bag, McCart Bug found a rooster hut, bit the rooster and it turned into a monster. McCart Rooster was starting to terrorize the farm festival while Elthunt started playing his keytar dreadfully.

**XxoxX**

Back at Meredith's Masterpiece, Harley was organizing some files when Mavis came in. "Harley," Mavis said to her, "there's a visitor for you."

When Mavis went outside Mavis's office, she was surprised to see who came to visit. It was Mr. Dennis, who had come to see his youngest daughter working.

"Dad!" exclaimed Harley. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Mr. Dennis answered. "I came to see my little girl. Don't mind your sister; she's at her friend Emilee's home for the weekend. They said they needed to repaint the den. Also, your uncle is having a issue again and needs me to come."

"You know how Uncle Allen is always being petrified when it comes to his fear of rats," Harley recalled. "He doesn't like them in the kitchen. Coach Howland taught me how to trap animals without killing them. They catch a lot of things in Kansas."

After Harley gave him a few techniques how to catch some rats, Dreamheart gave her a vision of McCart Rooster causing trouble at the farm festival. "Now if you'll excuse me," replied Harley, "I'll be heading off to the farm festival to get ready for the kids."

When she got outside, this was her chance to Honey Up and save the farm festival.

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

Little did she know was that her father saw the whole thing and smiled. Instead of telling the children, he looked at Mavis and winked at her. Mavis looked at Mr. Dennis and smiled.

**XxoxX**

Later at the empty farm festival, Elthunt and McCart Rooster were littering empty spray paints. Elthunt was happy because he is causing pollution for Poach.

"Have you tried holding your breath?!" shouted Mew Mew Honey. "Because overusing aerosols and using freshners outside is danger to the eco-system!"

"Giving me another aggravation?" asked Elthunt. "Get her, McCart Rooster!"

Thinking hard, Mew Mew Honey remembered a few trapping techniques that Coach Howland taught her. First, she grabbed an empty box and placed it on McCart Rooster's head, because the big box could only fit it's head. Then she placed recycled fly paper onto the ground and trapped McCart Rooster in them. Finally, she tossed organic strong-scented pinecones to the monster. The openings of the box were big enough for the smell to poison McCart Rooster's beak nostril and it broke Elthunt out in a rash.

"You twit!" shouted Elthunt as he scratched like a dog. "I'm allergic to Earth pinecones - they break me out in a rash!"

"Then here's your healing ointment!" shouted Mew Mew Honey as she got out her Beary Bow.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face!*

With a quick blast, McCart Rooster turned back into a regular rooster.

"You may have cause the alarm to go off," shouted Elthunt, "but good luck fixing the farm festival!"

After Elthunt teleported back to his ship, Mew Mew Honey turned her head and saw the mess. Lotus Leaf came out of her hair and saw the mess in tear.

In the pig pen, Mew Mew Honey spotted a bunch of pigs rolling around in the mud and got an amazing, yet muddy idea. She freed the pigs. Then she covered the largest ear of corn in Kansas with honey. Smelling it through their cute little noses, the pigs followed the smell to the giant ear of corn.

Lotus Leaf knew that Mew Mew Honey needed to get it done in time for the students to come. So, she went to the Beary Bow and shouted, "Xiūlǐ! Xiūlǐ!"

Mew Mew Honey didn't know what Lotus Leaf meant, but she trusted her Mew Mew. Mew Mew Honey used her Beary Bow and in one shot, everything was recovered. Mew Mew Honey was happy, because the farm festival is saved.

"Yìshù kè! Yìshù kè!" shouted Lotus Leaf as she Mew Mew Honey turned her head.

She could see a bus with Miss. Benjamin, Mavis, her father and uncle, and the art students getting off of the bus. Quickly, Mew Mew Honey ducked under a honey stand and turned back to Harley.

Out from the table, she spots the field trip coming towards her. "Harley!" cried out her father. "You came early."

"Had to get ahead of the game," exaggerated Harley.

"I hope we're able to grin and bear it," Mr. Dennis replied.

Harley was confused, but decided to enjoy the farm festival by taking the kids to the bouncy barn. "Wait for me!" shouted Dean Dennis. "After all that rat control, I need to lighten up with a bouncy castle."

"Go on, bro," replied Mr. Dennis. "I'll catch up."

After Dean Dennis left to join Harley and the kids for the bouncy castle, Mr. Dennis turned to Ms. Benjamin and Mavis.

"Okay now," Ms. Benjamin replied. "You secretly knew that your daughter is Mew Mew Honey from watching the public version of our Mew Mew Blog and comparing Honey's pictures with your daughter ones. That's just how I figured out that Renee is Mew Mew Zakuro."

"Plus she can't fool a parent," Mr. Dennis replied. "If she find out why her mother disappeared, she could freak out. Also, I can't tell Allen, he'll just get upset about it."

"Don't worry," smiled Ms. Benjamin. "I won't say a word. Now I'm going down to the Bouncy Barn!"

In a quick bounce, Ms. Benjamin cartwheeled and bounced to the bouncy barn.

**XxoxX**

The next day at the ACS, Harley and Mavis were telling everyone about their little adventure at the farm festival.

"I must say, y'all," smiled Presley Beth replied, "you sure did a mighty fine job with them roosters."

"It had to be a game of 'Which came first'?" joked Harley.

**The End**

**Chapter 46: I've Been Catfished**

In the clean side of her room, Julianna was reading a world famous book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Presley Beth came in, and she wiped the mud off her shoes. "Howdy, sis," she greeted as she took a bite out of a candy bar. "Whatcha doin'?"

"I'm crammed up on this Sherlock Holmes assignment," Julianna answered. "I have to write about the Hounds of Baskerville. Where are the girls?"

"The others are going to be on that reality show "Cook It Up: Middle School Edition," and the limit of helpers are five," Presley Beth explained. "They're making mud pies that have a lot of chocolate and we all knew you don't like mud pies from actual mud."

Knowing her twin sister, Julianna knew that she would disgust the public again. Just then, she got messages on the school blog about a teenage con artist named Totally Thatcher.

*Totally Thatcher is such a con artist, he promised me imported chocolate from Belgium and he gives me a cheap candy from our school store.- Reikomia445.*

*I've been bamboozled. He like promised me imported lipstick from Pari, but got from Wyoming- Bricheese74.*

*That good for nothing jerk has got some nerve giving me a thrift scarf instead of a knitted one from Switzerland- Peylove88.*

This was awful: a con artist was bamboozling many of the girls from their school. Ms. Benjamin was on a date with Coach Howland at a '50s diner, so they decided to go to the only other teacher who can help with teenage girl dilemmas, Mr. Janson.

After they barged out of their dorm, they bumped into a Latino boy with glasses, braces, and nerdy apparel.

"Lo siento," Julianna said politely as she picked up his books, including 'Cell Phone Repair for Morons.'

"That's okay," replied the nerd as he took off.

**XxoxX**

Five minutes later, they arrived at Mr. Janson's room, where he was reading text from his students about Totally Thatcher hacking into their phones and leaving yandere-ish text messages.

"Mr. Janson," Julianna said, "many girls have been complaining about a con artist deceiving them for money. He promised them expensive imported stuff, but ends up getting cheap stuff."

"I know," Mr. Janson replied. "It's all over the school news. As a ladies' man, I know that money isn't important."

"Hey," Presley Beth interrupted. "Maybe we can solve the mystery like Sherlock and Watson. They always solve mysteries."

"Vada is a fond of Sherlock Holmes," recalled Presley Beth.

"Elementary, my dear sister," replied Julianna. "Now Master Janson, who do you think is Totally Thatcher?"

"We have three suspects to who would hack into girls' phones and cause money troubles," answered Mr. Janson. "Brielle, expert in photoshop and stuff; Lautaro Cisneros, who's part of the school's computer club and knows all about accounting; and Wilder Garrison, who has good hacking skills."

"But we don't know any Wilder Garrison," recalled Presley Beth.

"Let's say he goes by his nickname, Web Hanger," Mr. Janson explained further.

Hearing the name, Presley Beth could remember that he was one of the members of the Tranquil Teenz. Presley Beth didn't want to hurt him, but she had to figure out Totally Thatcher's true identity before it was too late.

"These were my old Sherlock and Watson hats," explained Mr. Janson as he placed them on Presley Beth and Julianna. "Presley Beth is more of the Sherlock Holmes type, while Julianna is more like Watson."

"Thank you, Mr. Janson," Julianna replied. "But I still don't want to hurt him. Sherlock Holmes never uses violence. That's more of a Sam Spade thing."

"Relax, sis," replied Presley Beth. "We'll figure out Totally Thatcher as soon as possible."

**XxoxX**

Having a hunch, Presley Beth and Julianna decided to go to the computer room, where it was the most likely place to hack into phones.

"Wouldn't Totally Thatcher have a laptop?" Presley Beth asked.

"Yes, dear girl," Julianna replied. "But Totally Thatcher's roommates would catch him, if he had any." On one of the tables, she spotted something unusual. "Cellphone repair gear," she replied. "That's used to repair phones if you're on a tight budget."

"Well," recalled Presley Beth, "a lot of teenagers these days do spend their money on useless junk. Lucky for me I'm saving money for that field trip to Phantompark Amusement Park."

"While I'm going to check out the show production of the fairy tale, 'The Charmed Hall'," replied Julianna, "you get to ride the main attraction, 'The Nightmare Release,' which is the fastest most wildest rollercoaster in Kansas."

"What's going on here?" asked Lilith. "A dork convention lead by Tweedle Mud and Tweedle Clean?"

Presley Beth and Julianna were annoyed by Lilith's interruption. Then, Julianna realized something. "Wait a second," she said. "Doesn't Brielle have a tinkering for cheese?"

"Of course, loser," Lilith answered rudely. "Peyton is a fond of caramel, and Rylee likes grapes, especially when they're imported."

This only meant one thing for Presley Beth and Julianna - Brielle wasn't Totally Thatcher.

**XxoxX**

Later, they left for the lounge to thing, only to sit next to a familiar person; it was the same nerdy boy that Julianna bumped into. "Hey Lautaro," she replied. "How's the computer kid?"

"It's going great. It's not easy being the GWC."

Presley Beth was confused by the term "GWC." "That's an acronym for 'guy with camera'," explained Lautaro. "Someone has to capture the students strutting it."

Presley Beth and Julianna started becoming more confused.

"If you need me," Lautoro replied, "I'll be fitting my budget."

After he left, Presley Beth and Julianna decided to watch a horseback-riding movie while they were thinking.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at the Smoky Hill River, Poach, Elthunt, Aretha, and Crossni were fly fishing while using some fish-luring oil Vectrod 65. It may be wonderful smelling for them, but it awfully smelled for the animal. When Elthunt found a catfish in the river, Crossni got out a McCart Bug, the bug bit the catfish and it turned into a monster.

**XxoxX**

While they were watching a horse movie. Web Hanger came in.

"Hey," he said. "Heard you two were investigating the whole Totally Thatcher issue."

"So," Presley Beth said with a smile, "your real name is Wilder Garrison."

"Yeah," admitted Web Hanger. "Really crazy, huh?"

"No, no," replied Presley Beth. "I love that name. Anyway, Mr. Janson says that you have good hacking skills."

"Normally," replied Web Hanger, "the guys would get me to do it to stalk on emails. I don't wanna invade their privacy, but they need to know what's going on at CKH."

Presley Beth and Julianna knew that it was wrong to invade people's privacy, so they advised Web Hanger that they should stop doing it. Suddenly, Dreamheart gave the twins a vision of a Catfish monster causing floods around Kansas City.

"Pres, Jules," Web Hanger interrupted as Presley Beth and Julianna snapped back to reality, "you should check out these floods in downtown Kansas City. That catfish is cookoo."

Presley Beth and Julianna didn't want to expose their secret, so they told him that they were going to handle a little emergency.

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

When they arrived at Wyandotte County Lake Park, they saw McCart Catfish giving the citizens a washed up feeling. After Mew Mews Peanut Butter and Jelly arrived to the scene of the crime, they needed a way to stop it.

"Harley told us that she combined Lotus Leaf to Beary Bow to change the festival back to normal," recalled Presley Beth. "If she can combine her Mini-Mew with her weapon, so can we."

Mew Mew Peanut Butter combined Lo to Peanut Butter's Silky Lasso and while Mew Mew Jelly Mein to Jelly's Anartia Fans.

In a snap, Mew Mew Peanut Butter's Lo and Silky Lasso combo caused a sugar powered cannon, causing McCart Catfish to get distracted by the sugar fog. For Mew Mew Jelly's Mein and Anartia Fans combo, it made a hologram of herself with one flap of the fans. Falling for the hologram, McCart Catfish fell into the lake and it was time for the final move.

*Mew Mew Style Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Cat turned back into a catfish.

After Mew Mews Peanut Butter and Jelly changed back to Presley Beth and Julianna, the tomboy twin realized something. "Didn't Sherlock had a saying in one of his books?" asked Peanut Butter.

"He did," the girly twin answered. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. All the stuff we saw relates to cellphone repair and I checked the posts by Totally Thatcher before, he had model slang and I know only one person who would say model slang like that. "

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later, Lautaro was sneaking into the school's computer lab and going under his persona of Totally Thatcher. Before he got a chance to log in, he started smelling peanut butter, which he was allergic to.

"Howdy, Lautaro," replied Presley Beth. "I remember slapping a peanut butter sandwich away after the Tranquil Teenz tried to force you to eat it."

"And instead of telling a teacher like normal students," recalled Lautaro, "you had to trick them by using your animal whistle collection and calling stray dogs."

"Don't mind Presley Beth," interrupted Julianna. "The point is, we both know you have been scamming girls for money. Is it true?"

Without hesitation, Lautaro admitted that he was Totally Thatcer. "All I wanted is to get girls to like me," he explained. "So I hacked into your phones under the name of Totally Thatcher and trick hot girls into giving me money so I can date goth girls. My cousin Ledger is a swimsuit model, and I've learned flirty sayings from him."

"Luckily," Julianna replied, "your 'Cellphone Repair for Morons' book, repair equip, and model slang blew your cover."

"And that French girl Chanel really is mignonne," professed Lautaro. "Peut-être qu'elle et moi pouvons continuer (Maybe she and I can go steady)."

"Désolé," replied Presley Beth. "But Chanel is a lesbienne."

Later, Lautaro was returning the money to all the hot girls he deceived. Dean Dennis was supervising him, so he won't get in trouble. "Tricking most of the single straight females all over the school," he groaned. "I had girl trouble too as a child, but this is not how we do it. That's double detention for two weeks."

"Yes, sir," Lautaro answered with regret.

Presley Beth and Julianna were proud of Dean Dennis, because he was doing a good job at being the dean to the school.

Just then, Leighton came up to them with a crew from the school's news channel. "This is Leighton Morce with CKH News," she announced. "I'm with CKH students and Tennessee twins Presley Beth and Julianna Abbey with the mysterious Totally Thatcher, otherwise known as Lautaro Cisneros, who wanted to get goth girls to like him. Girls, how did you girls figure it out?"

"We did it like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, y'all." answered Presley Beth.

"Let's go bowling after school, sis." Julianna replied. "I hear they give out discounts on to CKH students."

"No problem, sis," Presley Beth replied. "And I can't wait to show off the bowling skills Papa Darwin taught me."

**The End.**

**Chapter 47: Ptera Picnic**

In the spring time, Harley. On this first day of spring, it was the annual school picnic. The ACS decided to use the meeting for a McCart hunt and help out for the faculty. Chanel and Danna were getting out the chocolate dumplings, Presley Beth and Julliana were making caramel apple, Harley and Carla were taste testing some stuffed olives, and Vada and Saatvika were fixing up grilled cheese sandwiches.

Meanwhile, Kiki was taste testing the food to see if everything's ready for the after school picnic when she some some sparkles by the banana pudding. By the dessert table were four beautiful girls in yellow witch attire. "Daisy, Dafodil, Rose, Sunny," she smiled. "So glad you can make it."

"You know, girls," Daisy said, "wherever we go, it feels like everyone has known us."

**XxoxX**

As the girls were finishing up the finishing touches to the picnic food, Kiki and the Spell Bells came up. Everyone but Chanel was stoked to see the appearance of the Spell Belles.

"Girls," Ms. Benjamin said, "I like you to meet the Spell Belles: Sunny, Daisy, Rosie, and Dafodil. Their going to perform here as the picnic entertainment. Also, they're a lookout for any McCart Bug activity."

"Wait," Chanel interrupted. "Are you saying that their 'real' witches? Because I heard rumors of witchcraft all around France."

"It's true," Rosie replied as she poofed roses into her hands, "We're actual witches."

"Oh, my God!" Daisy exclaimed. "Look at all those mini pudding cups. Their good enough to eat."

"Daisy," Sunny replied, "easy on the pudding cups. Their for the students."

Daisy got upset, but then she remembered that she could make her own pudding. Using her flower magic, she made a daisy-shaped bowl of banana pudding.

"Easy, girls," Kiki said to the witches. "Dean Dennis is having a little cutbacks and you girls were the best money can buy."

"Don't worry," replied Sunny. "We work for ingredients for our po-I mean recipes."

**XxoxX**

At the picnic, Dean Dennis, Nurse Millward, Coach Howland, Mrs. Georgeson, and Mr. Janson were preparing the grill while chatting and making jokes. Harley came up to check on her uncle.

"Harley, my niece," Dean Dennis smiled. "How about you be the test subject for one of my burgers."

"I'd be happy, too," answered Harley with a smile.

Once Harley took a bite, she became more disgusted than amused. "These burgers taste terrible," she growled. "What type of burgers did you get?"

Dean Dennis showed an empty box of the burgers that he used,

Cheapy Craig's Beef Burgers

"Uncle Allen," Harley growled. "Nobody wants this stuff. These are considered one of the worst meat products in America."

"You did your American food studies," replied Dean Dennis.

"With a little help from Vada," Harley corrected.

"Nevermind them," Mr. Janson said. "Mostly the students come here for the desserts."

"I know that students wouldn't like health-styled chips," Coach Howland replied. "But they should eat whatever they want, as long as they watch their portions."

"YAAAHOOOOO!" shouted a voice from behind.

"Speaking of portions and desserts," asked Mrs. Georgeson, "how much desserts did Daisy of the Spell Belles eat?"

"100 cups!" shouted Daisy as she barged out of the school like a crazy person.

Everyone started to worry about Daisy, so they turned to Ms. Benjamin to ask what happened. "She ate all the desserts" she explained. "She gets this way every time they do a school picnic gig."

"Though Daisy has eaten sweets before," Rosie continued while coming out, "feminine cravings can be out of control."

"Did you see our cookbook, 'Baking The Belles with The Spell Belles'?" asked Dafodil softly.

"No," Dean Dennis replied, "but one of my nieces friends, Vada, does."

"Oh, yeah." recalled Sunny. "Vada Kesley, that girl from Thailand who shows us those soup recipes."

Worried that Daisy would destroy Kansas City; they decided to go after them. Danna and the Spell Belles on the other hand decided to stay here so they won't disappoint the students.

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis.*

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, at the mini-golf course, Poach was wearing a dark cloak spying on a new pterodactyl skeleton. "Okay now, my little McCart Bug." whispered the evil alien. "Go towards that pterodactyl and turn him into a monster."

\*This is just like those historical documents about a deserted island that secretly clones dinosaurs,\* he thought to himself.

With one bite, the McCart Bug turned the pterodactyl skeleton into a monster, terrorizing the patrons.

**XxoxX**

Elsewhere in Kansas City, the Mew Mews, minus Dumpling, gathered around to find any results for the hyperactive witch.

"Jell and I didn't see here at the mall," Mew Mew Peanut Butter answered sadly.

"She's not even at the zoo," answered Mew Mew Sundae with a frown. "But there was a scouting troop who wanted an autograph from mwa and Mew Mew Vanilla."

"And she's not at the park," answered Mew Mew Cupcake. "Chocolate on the other hand did find a flier for an unveiling at the golf course for a new pterodactyl skeleton."

Just then, Dreamheart showed the Mew Mews a vision of the mini-golf course being terrorized by McCart Ptera. Not wanting the patrons to get hurt, they headed off to the golf course.

**XxoxX**

Back at school, patrons were coming in, but the food wasn't ready. So, the Spell Belles and Danna decided to perform to liven up the crowd. In a snap, they sang Janis Joplin's Piece of My Heart, much to the delight of the students and the faculty. Once Danna was done with her solo, she got a vision from Dreamheart of McCart Ptera and decided to go after her friends. She hid under an empty table so nobody would suspect.

Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis.

Knowing that Mew Mew Dumpling needed help, they placed a little back of her wings. She didn't suspect a thing.

**XxoxX**

At the golf course, McCart Ptera was continuing to scare away the patrons of the golf course when The Mew Mews used their weapons against them. Suddenly, McCart Ptera did a supersonic scream towards them. Just as it was about to destroy the Mew Mews, a blast came out of nowhere. It was Mew Mew Dumpling; she came just in time to help the Mew Mews. "Sorry to rain on your parade." shouted Mew Mew Dumpling.

"Right in time, Dumpling," Chocolate smiled as she sees something glowing on her back.

Once she came to her back, she got the glowing bag and opened it, revealing to be glittery butterflies that smelled like sunflowers, daffodils, daisies, and roses. Knowing this, that this was The Spell Belles attempt to help them. While McCart Ptera was distracted, the Mew Mews decided to do their attack.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style, In Your Face*

Just like that, McCart Ptera turned back into a skeleton. Dreamheart then came in, twirled its feathers and placed it up. the Mew Mews were amazed by Dreamheart's ability to fix things up in a snap. Thinking that this could be handy, they decided to do it next time a monster causes a lot of damage.

"Woo, hoo, hoo!" shouted Daisy as she was making raining yellow gumballs.

Remembering what they learned from health class, they believed that she could have a sugar crash. After Daisy turned a worn out crane game into a new one capable of winning a prize, she wore out. "I do declare," she sighed, "that was some sugar rush."

"Do you think you have enough energy to send us back to CKH?" whispered Vanilla. "We gotta get to the picnic before they rush to the desserts."

With one nod, Daisy used her magic to send them back from the empty snack bar to the CKH picnic.

**XxoxX**

Back at the picnic, everyone was getting a little sick of the cheap burgers Dean Dennis placed out. Fearing that the picnic would be ruin and Dean Dennis would be really upset, The Spell Belles used her magic to change the food from gross to delicious.

Everywhere, there was gourmet-styled burgers, vegetable sticks, baked chips, low fat cookies and cake, licorice, jelly beans and regular and soy chocolate milk. The food smelled so good, that everyone got in, "These burgers are delicious" shouted a student.

"Best burgers ever.," shouted another.

"What happen to the burgers?" asked Dean Dennis.

"Looks like a little cooking magic" Danna exaggerated as she and her friends came in.

"Danna" said Dean Dennis, "Your performance with The Spell Belles really brought up the crowd and it kept them from going crazy."

"Thank you." replied Danna as she turned to The Spell Belles and winked at them.

**The End.**

**Chapter 48: Mammoth Maniac**

A bus from the CKH was outside the museum. Harley, Saatvika, Rodrigo and a few other students were there for grade bonus and for an activity. The school knew that they needed a supervisor for the field trip, so Mrs. Georgeson was the best option available.

As they were going inside, Dreamheart observed the girls and smiled, knowing that they will be safe and sound.

"Before we could begin, children," Mrs. Georgeson said, "let's go over the rules of museum safety again."

Rodrigo raised his hand and said, "Do not wander off into the museum."

"Correct," answered Mrs. Georgeson as she spotted Saatvika raising her hand. "Ms. Dennis."

"Remain quiet at all times," Harley answered.

"Correct," answered Mrs. Georgeson as she spotted Saatvika raising her hand. "Do not touch anything so the other patrons can see the artifacts." Saatvika. answered.

"All the way from Flash Chicken," congratulated Harley.

"Alright, class," announced Mrs. Georgeson. "Now stick with your buddies and no sneaking into the gift shop until the tour is over. That goes for Lilith."

Lilith placed away her phone and went up to Harley. "I can't believe I get to be assigned to this Down Under dweeb," Lilith grumbled.

"Hey," groaned Harley. "You're falling behind in some of your classes cause you care about vanity and being vicious."

"I'm as vain and vicious as a great white shark," Lilith replied as she mimicked a shark bite, much to Harley's irritation.

XxoxX

While going around the dinosaur wing, everyone was starting to go around, feeling like their in Jurassic Park. As Saatvika was observing a triceratops skeleton, she got a little thirsty. So she grabbed Harley and they snuck out of the ice age wing. Luckily, Mrs. Georgeson was so fascinated by the dinosaur bones, she didn't notice that they were gone.

After taking a glimpse at a stegosaurus skeleton, she spotted a bunch of homeless people sleeping into the wing. With one thud, she passed out. A few students quickly ran up and help her. Lilith didn't want to help her teacher; instead, she decided to do her report so she wouldn't fall behind in class. Rodrigo then turned his head, only to find his sister and his friend missing. Afraid that they'd get in trouble after Mrs. Georgeson woke up, he decided to go find them.

XxoxX

In the ice age wing, Saatvika took Harley to a machine of carbonated delight. "A soda machine?" asked Harley. "I haven't had a junk soda in like ever."

"Usually the CKH alllows healthful sodas," Saatvika replied, "but you gotta take chances. I'm going to get a grape soda."

"I call dibs on root beer," said Harley.

Just as they were about to grab their sodas, Rodrigo caught them. "Harley, Saat," he said, "remember what Mrs. Georgeson said."

"Sorry," replied Harley and Saatvika as they caught up to the class, leaving their sodas behind.

Little did they know, Elthunt was sneaking around disguised as a tour guide. He summoned a McCart Bug from his keytar and turned a mannequin of a mammoth into a monster. "What do you know?" he said to himself. "McCart Bugs can bring statues to life."

XxoxX

When Saatvika and Harley got to the ice age wing, they saw that Mrs. Georgeson was out cold. Harley remembered the old smelling conscious trick. She got out a honey bar, placed it under her teacher's nose, and Mrs. Georgeson woke up. "Thank you, Ms. Dennis," she said with a semi-conscious voice. "It's just some hobos are sleeping in the dinosaur wing."

"You mean them?" Saatvika asked as she pointed to the hobos eating the brachiosaurus dinosaur. "Hey, you Hobos!" she shouted, "Destruction of personal and public property is against the law!"

After she left, Dreamheart showed the two girls a vision of McCart Mammoth attacking the Egyptian wing. Saatvika and Harley already knew that they couldn't leave their tour group, so they secretly told Bok Choy and Lotus Leaf to stop the current monster for them. "Bówùguǎn, bówùguǎn!" they whispered as they took off to the Egyptian Wing.

**XxoxX**

In the Egyptian Wing, McCart Mammoth was wrecking the place, along with Elthunt and his dreadful keytar playing. Annoyed by the terrible sounds, Bok Choy and Lotus Leaf tossed spice jars at them, causing the two of them to sneeze uncontrollably. Elthunt was so annoyed by the spice jar toss, he chased after the little beings.

Running towards the ice age wing, they spotted the same soda machine that Harley and Saatvika failed to get their grape and root beer soda from. They both got the soda out, shook it, opened the bottle tops, and made both sodas spray on them. McCart Mammoth and Elthunt slipped and slide around the floor and crashed into the soda machine, unleashing a lot of sodas.

From the wing, the hobos thought it was a skating rink and drank the sodas from the floor, much to Mrs. Georgeson's irritation. She grumbled, "This is the worst field trip ever."

"Don't say that!" shouted Ms. Benjamin from the Chinese wing, "They're just having fun!"

"Ms. Benjamin!" scolded Mrs. Georgeson. "Shouldn't you be back at the school teaching modern dancing?"

"Well," Ms. Benjamin replied, "I thought I could take some of the kids to the museum to learn about Asian dancing and how homeless people dance for a living. Hodge Podge Lodge is being renovated after a spice jar explosion in one of the rooms, and they decided to spend the night at the museum. Looks like the hungriest homeless people found Mr. Millward's secret stash of spice BBQ sauce in that antique guitar in the kitchen. People who stay at Hodge Podge Lodge stay for free."

Everyone was weirded out by Ms. Benjamin's explanation, but Saatvika and Harley clearly understood why they tried to eat that dinosaur skeleton. Secretly, the duo did their Mew Mew Call.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Power*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Mammoth changed back into a mannequin mammoth. Everyone cheered.

**XxoxX**

The next day at the cafeteria, Saatvika, Carla, and Harley were enjoying their lunch when Ms. Benjamin came in with some BBQ ribs from the cafeteria. "These are leftovers from Hodge Podge Lodge," she explained. "And don't worry about those hungry hobos. The NSA paid for the damage for the museum, hoping we won't have any more repeat offenders from The Mew Mews."

"The National Supers Agency," replied Harley. "That's the organization that cover supers' identities."

Ms. Benjamin nodded her head and also explained that the hungry hobos were going to learn how to cook so they wouldn't have to worry about the volunteers serving food. "That will pop up their brains."

"Speaking of pop," replied Saatvika, "look what Rodrigo is bringing."

Behind them, Rodrigo came in with some cola from the nearest convenience store. "I felt bad for not giving you two some sugary sodas, so I decided to give you some. My treat."

"Gracias, Rodrigo," cooed Saatvika.

Saatvika got a strawberry soda, Harley got a root beer, and Rodrigo got a red raspberry. Rodrigo also gave Carla a blue raspberry soda. Ms. Benjamin didn't mind her students having soda. She got out a banana low carb soda, drank the whole thing in three gulps, and did a really loud burp. Instead of getting confused, the teenagers and the faculty rooted for that burp. Everyone was amazed by it, almost.

Mrs. Georgeson was annoyed by Ms. Benjamin's shenanigans. "The only thing worse than unsupervised hobos in a museum is dance teachers who behave like monkeys," she complained. "I wish she could behave like a normal teacher for once."

"That would be great," replied Coach Howland. "And how else would they remind the students to stay in shape?"

Mrs. Georgeson was so annoyed by their enthusiasm, she left.

**The End.**

**Note: The grape soda and root beer is a homage to the Codename Kinds Next Door episode. The part where Numbuh 3 was feeding a baby soda who requested for grape soda and root beer. When I looked closely, I could see that it says, 'Cola'.**

**Chapter 49: Disctoad Inferno**

In the lounge, the girls were excited about their science grades, "I'm glad I got an A+ on that dolphin report," Harley cheered.

The ACS girls were happy that they got A+ through C on their science grades, but Lilith thought otherwise. "I can't believe I got an F on that shark report." she groaned.

"Looks like going through your colored dresses cost your study time," guessed Chanel.

"Now I'll never get into Fairview Ballet Academy," groaned Lilith more.

"That's the ballet school Corina has been to," Saatvika whispered to Carla. "She looked really good in a tutu."

Lilith was so angry about the bad grade, she tossed some lemonade to Mr. Georgeson. "Lilith," he said sternly, "I know you didn't do it on purpose, but I'm afraid you're going to have to fetch some paper towels and give them to me."

"Do I have to?" whined Lilith.

"Yes," Mrs. Georgeson answered with a deadly glare. "That's an order."

Carla then turned to Danna. "By the way, Danna," she commented, "I love your latest web video of you performing Bonnie Macias' songs. Your much more fitted for her songs than Bonnie did."

Since the girls were so thrilled about passing science class, they decided to go celebrate with some burger casserole at Club Groove.

"I'm with you," replied Presley Beth, "I hear that Bonnie Macias makes the best burger casserole on Weaver St."

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later, they arrived at Club Dove, "Haven't been here since we helped Bonnie remember her songs," recalled Chanel.

Even though that she was a goth, Chanel bounced up and downed a lot until Danna calmed her down.

Inside Club Dove, they could see the place partially empty. Bonnie was in one of the tables having some nachos and working out some old songs she haven't done since her youth. "Bonnie?" asked Danna, "What are you doing?"

"Working up some old songs I did during my solo career," answered Bonnie as she fixed a smudge on a music note.

On the MTunes app on her phone, Danna looked up Bonnie Macias. Unfortunately, she only had two CDs and three of her songs had three stars.

*Flair Play*

*In The Heart of Tiny Town*

*Beach Babies*

"These are your songs?" asked Danna. "It must be hard going solo. Diana Ross and Gladys Knight may have made it big going solo, but you didn't."

"Yeah," Bonnie admitted. "They didn't make it big."

"Maybe you're not cut out for the songs," Harley suggested, "but maybe Danna is. Also, we can get your old bandmates to perform with her."

"We mean it," replied Danna. "I've written lots of songs, but I hardly did some from a falling musician. Also, I don't know where the other members of Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans are."

"But I do," answered Bonnie. "Even after we broke up, we stayed in touch every now and again. Bassist Zainab works in Topeka as a music shop owner, lead guitarist Jae runs a farm on the outskirts of town, keyboardist and Jae's twin sister Jacinda runs a dress shop in Wichita, and drummer Meredith Rakes is retired and has moved to Chicago. Luckily, she's in town this weekend to see the Broadway production of 'West Side Story' figuring she could see off-Broadway performances in Kansas."

Just then, Ms. Benjamin came in with fellow teaching colleague and two little girls. They were African American and wore preppy clothes with disco patterns. "It's one of the CKH music teachers, Dylan Macias," Danna explained. "I figured he had to be related to Bonnie. Same last name, strong singing, and all those disco knick knacks on his desk."

"I know," Presley Beth replied. "And I see he brought his daughters. I heard so much."

"Vada, Carla, Danna, Presley Beth," recalled Mr. Macias, "these are my ten- and six-year-old daughters, Zaina and Maraym. Their basketball practice is cancelled due to the coach due to a dentist appointment she forgot about. So I thought I could take them to see my mother and she could teach them how to make her famous burger casserole."

"That's nice, Dylan," smiled Bonnie, "but I thought up something better. We're going to put Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans back together."

"You're going to get Aunt Zainab, Aunt Jae, Aunt Jacinda, and Aunt Meredith back together," "You guys haven't played since your reunion show ten years ago, and on Dad's 70th birthday."

"Unlike your divorcement due to your ex-wife being too girly," Bonnie replied, "your daddy went up to the great disco club in the sky. It was his big love for disco that made me love him."

Kiki and the ACS wanted to help their friends, so they decided to take a Trumpeter Swan and convinced them to come. Chanel and Danna decided to go after Zainab, Vada and Presley Beth decided to find Jae, Saatvika and Julianna decided to go on the lookout for Jacinda, and Carla and Harley decided to handle Meredith. To make sure that Meredith came along, they decided to bring Mavis along.

**XxoxX**

In Topeka, Chanel and Danna were arriving at Guitarcade Music Store while unintentionally holding hands. Inside, they saw an elderly woman in funky clothes playing a Mew Mew pinball machine. She was Zainab.

"Excuse me?" asked Danna. "We're looking for a Zainab."

"That's me," Zainab replied. "Are you here for a lovely music lesson?"

Chanel and Danna noticed that they were holding hands and stopped, "We're not here for any romance," Danna answered. She thought, \*Not yet anyway,\* then continued, "But we're here to talk to you about Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans. They want to reunite so they can help out with one of Bonnie's swans."

"Will it have a pinball machine?" asked Zainab. "Because I'm a master at it."

Remembering the pinball machine that Club Dove had, she said, "Righty-o!"

**XxoxX**

Outside town, Vada and Presley Beth were arriving at Laughing Oak Farm. By a horse stable, Vada and Presley Beth spotted an elderly lady grooming horses while in an astronomy themed cowgirl outfit. Vada was astonished by the constellations on her vest. "I really love your wardrobe," commented Vada. "Especially the lupus constellation, similar to Mew Mew Zakuro."

"You're welcome," replied the old lady. "I'm Jae."

"We know," replied Presley Beth. "Former member of Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans. We need y'all to mosey on down to Club Dove for a reunion show."

Seeing Presley Beth's cowgirl nature, it reminded Jae of herself when she was a child: wild, risky and dirty. "Count me in," she replied. "I got some hats that'll help out with your little routine."

Little did they know, Aretha got a McCart bug and turned a toad by a pond into McCart Toad.

**XxoxX**

In Wichita, Saatvika and Julianna were arriving at The Happy Dress dress shop. Inside the '70s themed dress shop. They spotted a glamorous elderly lady in posh '70s clothes. "Are you Jacinda of Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans?" asked Julianna softly.

"I am," answered the old lady. "Why do you ask?"

"You have the disco clothes, and Bonnie has told me that you designed the outfits," explained Saatvika. "So I figures you were her."

After explaining the Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans reunion, Jacinda agreed to join because seeing Julianna's southern belle behavior reminded her of herself when she was young, girly, cute, and clean. "I have a few outfits that could be helpful for your show," she continued. "They're a one size fits all, but I have a feeling that the band wouldn't be good in those outfits."

**XxoxX**

At the Granada Theater, Carla and Harley were disguised as Rodents extras while Kiki and Mavis were disguised as surfer extras.

"Ms. Benjamin," whispered Harley, "this is a really looney idea."

"Si," agreed Carla. "They're going to know we're not part of the show."

"Not unless we play along," smiled Ms. Benjamin.

Not only Carla and Harley were both worried that they would get caught, but Mavis as well. Mavis knew that sneaking backstage disguised as an extra was wrong.

"Alright, everyone!" shouted the director. "This is the final rehearsal for the dance battle after 'Fallin' for Ya' so no dilly dallying."

Mavis remembered being on "Let's All Dance Until We're Sick" as one of the contestants, so she whispered to Congee and Lotus Leaf to change the music into something disco-ish.

Quietly and carefully, Congee and Lotus Leaf snuck by the controls and changed the music from "Big Momma's Dance Off" to Earth, Wind & Fire's, "Boogie Wonderland." Then, Congee activated the disco ball. The music change and disco ball popping out of nowhere, except for Kiki, Mavis, Carla, and Harley, who'd just dance like Dancing Queens, confused everyone. Observing their faces, the director knew that something was wrong.

"Hey!" he shouted. "I don't remembering seeing you three on set before."

"Forgive us," replied Mavis. "We just need to find Meredith Rakes, former disco drummer."

"Well, she isn't gonna help you!" snapped the director. "Leave now or I'm calling the cops."

"No, Ridge," shouted an elderly African American in orange and yellow disco clothes. "I'll handle them."

It was retired painter and former drummer of Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans, Meredith Rakes. Mavis quickly recognized her own painting mentor, standing right in front of everyone.

"My Sweet Potato," smiled Meredith. "It's been a long time."

Mavis got offstage and hugged her mentor. "Sweet Potato?" Carla and Harley whispered.

"It what she use to call me," replied Mavis.

"Come into the green room," Meredith replied back. "I'll fix up some hot cocoa and you'll tell my anything."

As Mavis, Kiki, Carla, and Julianna left for the green room, Meredith turned her head and said, "Carry on!"

Confused and disturbed, they continued with their rehearsal.

**XxoxX**

Twenty minutes later as they were enjoying the hot cocoa that Meredith made and explained everything. "Let me get this straight," she said. "You're getting Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans back together so you can help your friend, Danna, perform the solo songs Bonnie wrote become big."

Instead of saying yes, they nodded their heads. "I have to admit," continued Meredith, "Bon was never got at making it big solo. So, she decided to work for her late husband at his disco club."

"Will you do it?" Harley asked.

With one smile, Meredith answered, "Anything to help Bonnie and Sweet Potato."

Mavis was glad because her old art mentor agreed to help.

**XxoxX**

A few minutes later, all four girls arrived at Club Dove to rehearse for the show.

"I'm glad we did our Mew Mew Bounce to the Trumpeter Swans' locations," Carla whispered to Harley. "I feel like doing trampoline acts."

"Are you kidding?" asked Harley. "You have played songs for our school, plus you sang some from the old time capsule."

Chanel pressed her hand against Danna and said, "Plus I have faith in you."

Later, the ACS were decked out in '70s Chinese/disco apparel and showing off their stuff. Bonnie and the rest of the Trumpeter Swans were surprised that Jacinda kept their old Chinese/disco outfits to this day.

"I don't want us to forget the past now, do I?" asked Jacinda.

Jae was pleased by her twin sister's suggestion of keeping their old disco clothes, but had another suggestion too. She gave a blue and pink sequin drivers caps to Carla and Saatvika, brown, white, and pink mini top hats to Harley and Vada, rainbow-colored fedoras to Chanel and Danna, Jae tried to give two yellow and purple stetsons to the twins, but Presley Beth refused. "No need," she said as she and Julianna got out their stetson and bonnet. "Jules and I brought our own."

Mavis was surprised that her daughters brought the hats she gave them when they were babies. She was glad that they kept them for this occasion.

Within seconds, Dreamheart gave the Mew Mews a vision of McCart Toad eating cars at a used car sales place. Chanel, Saatvika, and Harley decided to go while the others stay behind to help the Trumpeter Swans get ready.

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Sundae, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

At Dizzy Expanse car place, McCart Toad was sticking out his tongue and eating cars, including Mr. Janson's new station wagon.

"This is an outrage!" he shouted a customer. "I paid good money for that car!"

"Well, quit your whining!" shouted Aretha, who was ontop of McCart Toad. "Why don't you go buy one that talks?!"

Outraged, Mr. Janson left.

After McCart Toad attacked a white sedan, Mew Mews Chocolate, Sundae, and Honey arrived "Looks like you got a toad down your throat." joked Sundae.

"Not funny!" shouted Aretha shouted as she held her breath.

Knowing this, Mew Mews Sundae and Honey knew that she was going to sing again, but before Arethra got a chance to sing, a fox tail knocked her out. Dreamheart came just so he can save his owners.

"Nice timing, Dreamheart," commented Chanel.

Dreamheart smiled because the Mew Mews were more appreciative of his deeds than McCartnet and his crew were. Seeing the balloons around the place, Mew Mew Honey remembers that car dealerships always put up balloons to attract customers.

"Girls!" shouted Honey. "I think we should lift this toad up. Chocolate, combine your Mini Mew with your weapon."

Mew Mew Chocolate combined Taro with her Striped Sword, made a slash and it made numerous balloons. Quickly, Honey and Sundae tied McCart Toad's limbs withe balloons and it lifted up. "Time to give this toad a chocolate honey sundae!" said Mew Mew Honey.

*Mew Mew Style Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And to that, McCart Toad turned back into a normal toad. The Mini Mews quickly grabbed the toad and placed him safely on the ground.

"Now how are we going to fix the car dealership?" Mew Mew Chocolate asked. "We can't just replace the cars."

"Yes, we can," Mew Mew Sundae replied optimistically.

Combining Bok Choy with her Illusion Staff, she made '70s cars with modern settings appear in the parking places. Every space was filled with a Volkswagen, cutlasses, and broncos. Amongst all the cars, they found a Studebaker with ocean patterns on it and a license plate that said "CKHSRLZ." Realizing this, they knew that this car was for Mr. Janson as a replacement vehicle.

"We better get back to Club Dove," suggested Mew Mew Sundae. "We don't want to keep the Trumpeter Swans waiting.

**XxoxX**

The next day, Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee were coming out of a nail salon when they spotted a long line going to Club Dove. Not wanting to hesitate, they cutted in line to see Ms. Benjamin spins plates filled with Hawaiian pizza, extra cheesy quiche and black forest cake. Suddenly, she ate all three dishes in one gulp then tossed the three empty plates to Mr. Macias.

"What is our music teacher doing at Club Dove?" asked Rylee. "Of course his mom owns the place, but what's the deal."

"The deal is that Bonnie and the Trumpeter Swans are reuniting to perform a song," answered Mr. Janson as he came up to them. "You would not believe the cool car I got. A 1970s Studebaker with modern settings. Nobody makes them anymore."

Annoyed, Brielle, Peyton, and Rylee left in rage.

"Attention, everyone!" shouted Mr. Macias. "As you all know, my mom has one of her songs perform. This time, it's not by her. Instead, one of my own students, Danna Coste, is going to sing instead. So please put your hands together for the groovy Danna Coste, and Bonnie andThe Trumpeter Swans.

The ACS came onstage in their Chinese/disco apparel Jacinda loaned them and the hats that Jae loaned them. Bonnie and The Trumpeter Swans on the other hand, wore some modern 1970s clothes. With one key, they start to sing to the song, 'Beach Babies'.

*Viewing the beach of a sky blue gaze*

*In my opinion, it's the easiest maze*

*I bring love from Chesapeake Bay*

*Or the shores of Cape May*

*You're my Beach Babies*

*I know that you love me maybe*

*But the ocean breezes has saved me*

*From not having any Beach Babies*

*Hearing from the shells that are so true*

*I knew that the Beach Baby has to you*

*Bringing the tides to the shore*

*It is something my bubbly heart has to adore*

*You are going to be my Beach Babies*

*The breezes make my passion so wavy*

*The Love Boat is on the waters of blue navy*

*Where I'm going to meet my Beach Babies.*

Once they finished the song, everyone cheered for the better version of Beach Babies and the Bonnie and The Trumpeter Swans reunion.

**The End.**

**Chapter 50: Please Don't Goat Around**

It was a sunny day and our heroes were getting out of their dance class with Miss. Benjamin. Harley was going to her locker when she spotted her uncle hiding in the closet. She was annoyed, because on this particular day, Dean Dennis gets nervous the most. Carla and Vada came up to her, looking confused, "What's wrong with your uncle" asked Carla.

"It's April Fool's Day," Harley explained "It's his least favorite day of the year and he always goes into hiding."

But little did they know, is that Lilith's three cohorts heard the entire thing, "Did you get all that on your phone?" asked Brielle

"Sure did" Rylee answered, "Gonna text this to Lilith right away, those ACS Scoundrels are gonna get what's coming to them."

"Yeah" Peyton said evilly, "This will be a prank no one will ever forget."

**XxoxX**

On his ship, Poach was going through the exotic animals he stole, when he spotted Crossni tossing dirty laundry at him. "Stop it you monster clown" shouted Poach, "I'm trying to think"

"Can't you take a joke" asked Crossni.

"NO!" Poach answered angrily, "And now you just ruined my concentration."

Just then, he thought up a way to take care of the Mew Mews. He got out a Poach Bug and told it to go to Earth.

**XxoxX**

Once there, the Poach Bug found a goat on a farm minding it's own business. He took a bite out of the goat and the goat turned into a monster.

**XxoxX**

Back at the CKH, our heroes were looking around with silly string, pillows stuffed with feathers, and honey in their hands when they spotted Miss. Benjamin feeling bummed. They placed their prank gear ontop of the healthy soda machine and rushed up to their teacher, wondering what is wrong, "I've been duped" Kiki growled, "I got a love letter from Coach Howland saying that we'll have a romantic picnic in the courtyard, only to find a picnic filled with mud pies, fake spiders, and expensive cosmetics."

"Wait" though Harley, "Expensive cosmetics, that's got be a Lilith prank."

"It is" answered Miss. Benjamin, "She's the only one I know who would use expensive cosmetics and use sequin table clothes."

**XxoxX**

In the principal's office, Lilith was sneaking around the place. Lucky for her, Dean Dennis is on another bathroom break.

Lilith got out her phone and it started to play Harmony Heaven music over the intercom.

"That's the latest Harmony Heaven single, "Fountain Brewing" said Vada.

"We all know how much my uncle hates Harmony Heaven" recalled Harley, "Because he remembered seeing them look like fools at celebrity events. Remember first season of Let's All Dance Until We're Sick."

"Oh yeah" recalled Carla, "The part where they kept bothering the dancers with their lack of social distancing."

On their phones, they saw a livestream recorded by Leighton, "There's trouble at a picnic birthday party at the park," announced Leighton, "A goat monster is eating up all the birthday cakes. Is this the birthday bash of a lifetime.

On the video, Carla recognized a cake-themed kart, "That's the Takes the Cake kart Sugar Rush kart." recalled Carla, "No one messes with a popular candy-themed video game.

*Mew Mew Honey*

*Mew Mew Cupcake*

*Mew Mew Vanilla*

*Mew Mew Sundae*

**XxoxX**

Five minutes later, Mew Mews Honey, Cupcake, Vanilla, and Sundae were arriving at the park where they spotted Poach Goat eating the birthday cake, "Okay" growled Mew Mew Vanilla, "I hate it when they don't allow the guest of honor get the first slice."

"Vada" replied Mew Mew Honey, "Easy, it's only a cake."

"Oh yeah" growled Mew Mew Vanilla as she took a baseball bat and a blindfold, "Well here's a dale dale beating of a lifetime."

Once Vada place the blindfold on, she attacked the goat like a real piñata. After Poach Goat fell down, it was time for the final pose attack

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face.*

Just like that, the goat changed back to normal and everything changed back to normal.

**XxoxX**

Back at CKH, they saw Dean Dennis curling up while still listening to Harmony Heaven music. Once the girls helped him up, the music stopped playing, "Darn it" shouted Lilith on the intercom, "My phone just died,"

"What did you expect?" Rylee groaned, 'You had to use your phone during class."

Everyone was petrified, because Lilith pulled a really annoying and traumatizing prank. Seeing the prank equipment on one of the soda machines, Dean Dennis got an idea.

**XxoxX**

At the Dean's office, Lilith and her crew were coming out of it when the tubes of honey fell onto them. Just as they thought that the honey prank was over, they tripped over some feather pillows and had silly string all over Lilith and her crew. In front of them, everyone laughed at the mean girl and her posse, "So, Lilith" Dean Dennis, "You must know very well not to use the intercom as a dog, I'm afraid serving kitchen duties is a suitable punishment for you and your friends."

Annoyed, all four girls make their way to the cafeteria to fix up some food. Dean Dennis could remember all the time he and his brother, 'Axel' pulled pranks on some of the patrons at the circus, including Harley's mother. Harley thought about her missing mother, 'Andrea' and how she use to teach her acrobats, making sea shell jewelry together with her, and going through garage sales all over Australia.

The next day, Dean Dennis and Harley were at a garage sale, "I'm glad that April Fool's Day is over with" sighed Dean Dennis with relief "Otherwise, I would be the laughing stalk in the history of boarding schools."

"Uncle Dennis" Harley replied, "You've always made a fool

As they were looking around, Harley saw some seashell jewelry with ribbons in them, just like the ones she and her mom made before she disappeared.

**The End**

**Chapter 51: Do You Sea What I Sea**

At The Greenburg in Oklahoma City, Chanel, Vada, Saatvika, and Carla shared a bed, Danna, Harley, Presley Beth, and Julianna shared a room, and Ms. Benjamin slept on the floor in a sleeping bag. The alarm clock on Kiki's phone went off, playing the Phineas and the Ferbtones song, "A-Prime Calypso," loudly. One by one, the girls woke up from the calypso song. They were annoyed by the awakening, but they were glad that they were on vacation.

After Ms. Benjamin pressed the snooze alarm, she was tossing bananas at her classmates. "Eat up, because we go a big aquatic advenure ahead of us."

"Gee," said Carla. "It was nice of Ms. Benjamin's friend Bridget to invite us here to Oklahoma City for spring break."

"Bridget Verdant?' asked Saatvika. "Also known as Mew Mew Lettuce of the orginal Mew Mews? She's the one who bonded with the black finless porpoise."

"That's her," Ms. Benjamin answered. "Now let's go before the sea monkeys get cranky."

"Should we tell Ms. Benjamin that sea monkeys are tiny shrimps that look nothing like the ACS?" asked Danna quietly as she got up.

"No," Harley whispered back. "She'll stick her tongue at the company, in person."

Chanel started to get a little attached to the banana, but then remembered that she had to go to the aquarium, so she ate it. Danna smiled and held her up.

XxoxX

Later, they arrived at the Oklahoma City Aquarium, Inside, they girls were delighted by the aquatic themed interior. By the porpoise exhibit, they saw a blonde girl with green highlights and glasses, "Is that.." asked Saatvika, "...Bridget Verdant?"

"You must be the Animal Caretaker Society," guessed Bridget. "Kiki has told me all about you girls."

"Same to you," replied Carla. "By the way, where is Ms. Benjamin?"

"This may be your first time here," Bridget replied. "But I know where she might be."

At the theater, Ms. Benjamin was onstage practicing her hand stances, much to the confusion of the zookeeper. Bridget and the ACS came onstage and told him that she's with them, "Hi, Bridget!" shouted Kiki. "Get a load of this!"

Ms. Benjamin showed them a flier with dolphins on them.

*Dolphin Day at Oklahoma City Aquarium*

"Is this why we're here?" asked Carla.

"Yeah," replied Ms. Benjamin. "Later today on April 14th, they're going to to a dolphin show. Also, you're volunteering for the show."

"Look at the cute baby dolphins," cooed Saatvika. "This is just like in my movie, 'Voyage of Bottomnose Bay'."

"Those are Austyn and Abdiel," explained Bridget. "Our newest edition. They'll be the main stars of our show."

As, saw another poster with sea monkeys on them.

*Sea Monkey Mania*

"That is our sucessful show where we entertain the audience while helping the animals here," Bridget explained. "From sea lion, to hoop tricks with dolphins."

"Speaking of monkeys," asked Ms. Benjamin, "How's Fenfang doing at the hotel pet daycare?"

"She's is doing great," explained Kiki. "Her collar is also a walkie talkie that I have through my pendant. Wesley rigged them for me. Whenever there is danger, I contact her."

**XxoxX**

Later that day, the ACS was going around while wearing dolphin t-shirts in order to support Dolphin Day. Little did they know was that Crossni was sneaking around while wearing a seahorse mascot costume. She got out a little dart gun, and shot them on the necks of Julianna and Carla, "That was some bug," Julianna groaned in a squeaky voice.

"Estoy de acuerdo (I agree)," replied Carla as she gasped at her own squeaky voice.

"What happened to our voices?" Julianna asked in horror. "We sound like chipmunks."

"I don't know," chuckled Carla, "but I like it. Wait till Ms. Benjamin gets a load of this."

At the hippo section of the aquarium, Chanel, Danna, and Harley were feeding hippos grapes. Little did they know was that Aretha was disguised as a hippo mascot. She swapped the real grapes with exploding grapes from Bombadeuva. When Chanel got some grapes and placed it in the hippo's mouth. The hippo spat it out and the grape bombs exploded, polluting the water into a purple mess.

"What a mess," Harley groaned. "We just cleaned up this pool, and now we gotta clean it again."

At the turtle exhibit, Elthunt John was going around disguised in a parrot mascot costume when he spotted Saatvika, Vada, and Presley Beth giving turtles baths in organic animal soap. He replaced the towels with some sand paper. After they cleaned it up, they saw that the turtles were getting rashes.

"Get a first aid kid, stat!" shouted Saatvika.

Quickly, Vada got out hydrocortisone cream for animals and placed them on the turtles. "The we cure them on time?" asked Vada.

"They'll be alright," Saatvika replied.

"Yee-haw!" shouted Presley Beth. "Now that's a curing for the current!"

**XxoxX**

Later at the employee's lounge, Bridget was observing Carla and Julianna's voices to see what was wrong, "I've done this before whenever dolphins couldn't squeal," Bridget replied. "As I feared, some alien messed with your voices."

"This must be the work of Poach McCartnet and his gang," Carla suggested. "A criminal prank master who turns animals into monsters for fun."

"And how are we going to fix our voices?" asked Julianna.

"Perhaps I could be of assistance," Bridget answered as she got out a mini deep dish pizza out of the fridge, placed it in the microwave for three minutes, sliced it in half, and gave them to Carla and Julianna.

After they ate the slices, Julianna asked in her regular voice, "How is that going to work?"

"Jules, your voice is normal!" Carla exclaimed as she realized something, "So is mine!"

"How did you know that would work?" Harley asked.

"Their voices were high, right?" asked Bridget. "So maybe something with the term 'deep' would fix it, and what better food to fix it than microwavable deep dish pizza?"

From the air dunce, Fengfang, Dreamheart, and the Mini-Mews came into the room.

"Fenfang, Dreamheart, Mini-Mews!" Ms. Benjamin shouted. "You came! Did the Mini-Mews sneak off and helped you escaped through the air vent at the hotel game room?"

Fenfang nodded her head.

After the rest of the ACS explained the pranks pulled on them, Dreamheart showed them a vision of Poach, Aretha, Elthunt, and Crossni dressed like pirates turning the Dolphin Day show into a pirate show. It was there they realized, the pranks were a distraction for Poach and his gang to prepare for his pirate prank, "Let's make those pranksters walk the plank!" exclaimed Harley.

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

At the stage, Poach was launching water balloons filled with ketchup. "It's like a slasher film here!"

"But do you want fries with that?" asked Mew Mew Honey.

"The Mew Mews?!" Poach asked in horror. "My hearties, let's play sword fight!"

"Argh!" shouted Aretha, Elthunt, and Crossni as they started to fight off the Mew Mews.

Mew Mews Chocolate and Dumpling took down Crossni with their Striped Sword and Crested Umbrella, Mew Mews Vanilla and Sundae battled Aretha with their Freezing Flute and Illusion Staff, Mew Mews Peanut Butter and Jelly took care of Elthunt with their Silky Lasso and Anartia Fans, and Mew Mews Cupcake and Honey fought Poach with their Sprinkle Frisbee and Beary Bow, "What are you going to do?" Poach asked as he laughed evilly. "Give me a ray of bear hugs?"

"No," answered Mew Mew Cupcake, "but we're going to make a splash."

With one jump and dive, they landed into the pool and caugh the eyes of Austyn and Abdiel. As soon as they came out of the water. Austyn and Abdiel squirted dolphin towards Poach.

Suddenly, the Mew Mews found Aretha, Elthunt, and Crossni on their pirate ship. Just as they were about to fire their ketchup balloons. Fenfang crawled up the pirate set, picket up a chef knive and tore the sail, "That monkey is making a monkey out of us!" shouted Poach.

Aretha, Elthunt, and Crossni tried to catch her, but she was too quick and to flexible.

"Way to go, Fenfang!" shouted Mew Mew Cupcake. "Now let's kick some pranking bootie!"

"Boot!" shouted Crossni. "I realize that i'm wearing my sparkly go go boots and I can't get these wet!"

While Poach and his gang were arguing about Crossni's fashion crisis, someone shouted, "Mew Mew Lettuce, Metamorphosis!"

It was Mew Mew Lettuce who had came to save the dolphin show. Quick as a wink, Mew Mew Lettuce took down Poach and his gang with her Morse Code Castanets.

Mew Mew Vanilla wanted to figure out what her Mini-Mew combo is. She combined Sichuan with her Freezing Flute, blew some bubbles out of the flute and trapped Poach's gang in it. Then they floated into the air and away from the festival. "Looks like my Mini-Mew combo attack is a trapping attack."

"That's right," Ms. Benjamin replied as she picked up Fenfang. "Your attack makes bubbles and traps the enemy. But don't you worry about Poachy and his gang. The bubble will pop once they got back to where they came from."

**XxoxX**

That evening, Ms. Benjamin and the ACS were wearing stylish sea-monkey swimsuits and tap shoes when Bridget came in with presents for the girls, as repayment for all their hard work. Inside the box, were tiny dolls of the girls in their Mew Mew forms, "Those are doll versions of ourselves," Carla realized. "My mom use to collect dolls when she was a child.

"I do a little bit of sewing every now and again," explained Bridget, "Figure that this is a good reward than money."

"We like it," commented Chanel. "Better than those porcelain dolls in France."

"Soon," Ms. Benjamin interrupted, "Kiki and the Tapping Sea Monkeys will be the understudy performers for tonight."

"Kiki and the Tapping Sea Monkeys?" Harley asked sternly.

"It's the best I could come up with," explained Ms. Benjamin. "The show must go on."

**XxoxX**

Ten minutes later, Bridget was onstage and came up to the mircophone, "Welcome everyone to Dolphin Day! Now let's welcome Kiki and The Tapping Sea Monkeys!"

Onstage, Ms. Benjamin and the ACS did a tap dancing kabuki show about Rainbow Monkey and The Happy Crown. During the performance, Fenfang and the Mini-Mews went around the place and tossed free bananas to the public, just like a vendor at a baseball game. Luckily, everyone was too busy watching the dancers to notice the Mini-Mews. At the end of the show, Ms. Benjamin got out a Rainbow Monkey inner tube and surfed on it. An invisible Dreamheart made tidalwaves while using his tail. Everyone cheered for the ACS's show, including Bridget.

**The End.**

**Chapter 52: A Wild Boar**

In her acting class, Julianna was reciting a monologue from Snow White. Her talented acting, everyone, but her sister, amazed everyone. "Geez Jules" Presley Beth said, "Y'all always had to bee sweet as strawberry jelly."

"Quiet, Presley Beth" scolded Julianna, "It's not polite to disrupt class."

"Whatever" groaned her twin sister.

Julianna was annoyed because Presley Beth was always the trouble maker, from sneaking cookies before dinner, to feeding horses peanut butter in secret, to stashing whoopee cushions in their fathers' pillows, "Sis" Presley Beth whispered, Why don't you try being bad for a change."

Julianna wasn't so sure about what her twin sister said.

After class, she spotted a bunch of Goth greasers, three boys and two girls. Remembering them from karaoke night, their, 'The Tranquil Teenz' a group of rebellious teenagers who often cause trouble for the students. "Excuse me, Sugar" asked Julianna, "Y'all may know me a Julianna Abbey form karaoke night".

"Of course," recalled the leader, "That girl who constantly sings Taylor Swift songs in a sweet tones. Names 'Fang Nut', 'and here we have 'Web Hanger', 'Crawl Lag', 'Arach Hex', and 'Taran Jam'.

"What does the darkness want with you?" asked Web Hanger."

"Could you teach me how to be bad?" Julianna asked.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Crossni, Elthunt, and Aretha were going through the Poach Bugs and see if they could play with them. "Girls" said Crossni, "Your going to get us in big trouble."

"We know," replied Crossni, "Poach is always busy being a baby, so we decided to do his chores for him."

"He did hire us to be his crew in order to make poaching fun" recalled Aretha, "Plus these little sugars need to get their wings stretched."

As soon as Aretha released a bug, Poach Bug took off.

**XxoxX**

On Earth, the poach bug was going around town looking for an animal to change. He found a pig escaping a butcher shop, stung the little animal, and the pig turned into a monster.

**XxoxX**

Later that day, our heroes were looking at plans to do for their ACS cover up while drinking some lemonade. By the door, The Tranquil Teenz came in, "Attention Dudes and Dudettes" shouted, "I like you to meet our newest member, 'Jules'"

Julianna came out wearing a Goth/greaser outfit mixed her Poppa Willie's leather jacket, a pair of John Lennon styled glasses, and a purple bandana and greeted, "S'up!"

Looking and her greaser outfit, our heroes pitted their lemonade out, "Julianna" asked Chanel, "I don't mind the look, but your joining this bad boy gang."

"Papa Willie use to wear those" Presley Beth complained, "I was gonna wear them when Grease comes to town."

"I am" Jules replied, "And the names' 'Jules' now Chanel."

"But this isn't you." recalled Danna, "Your sweet as grapes."

"But I'm the sour grape, now" laughed Julianna.

"Come on guys" Fang Nut smiled, 'Let's tear up the place.

Julianna was terrified, because she found out that The Tranquil Teenz are a bunch of thugs, "I thought this was a dance gig."

"What did you expect?" Crawl Lag.

"You said, 'Rehearsal' and 'Gig'" Jules explained, "So I thought we'd be performing for the students."

"We don't perform" Arach Hex explained back, "In fact, not a single one of us is good at music. So tear up the place or will tear you up and we mean it."

With a crack of their knuckles, The Tranquil Teens started tearing up the place. Jules was so scared, she hid in the girls bathroom.

Before our heroes get a chance to talk to Julianna, they saw a live stream of Poach Boar attacking. "Looks like Jules is going to have to wait" suggested Harley, "Time for a luau."

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis.*

At a biker club called "The Punchline," Poach Boar knocked out a bunch of motorcycles like dominoes, much to the bikers irritation. They tried to take it down, but Poach Boar scared them off. The Mew Mews came in. Chocolate slashed with her Striped Sword, Vanilla played her Freezing Flute, Sundae used her Illusion Staff, Cupcake tossed her Sprinkle Frisbee, Dumpling twirled her Crested Umbrella, Honey shot from her Beary Bow, and Peanut Butter tossed her Silky Lasso. Unfortunately, Poach Bug was too strong.

**XxoxX**

Back at the CKH, Leighton was going around the girl's room when she spotted a traumatized Jules, "Julianna," Leighton said, "you joined the Tranquil Teenz so you can be rebellious like your twin."

"Yes, sugar," replied Julianna. "She doesn't want me to be polite, so I thought I could be someone I'm not."

"Oh Jul," replied Leighton. "We already like you. I've never seen anyone played the violin so well, nor how to make the place smell like grape jam mixed with flowers. Plus, the way you helped our school's fashion club add embroidery to their dresses for a visiting French fashion designer last November really got those fashion magazines go crazy. "

Hearing the words from Leighton, Julianna took off the shades, removed the bandanna, and barged out of the girl's room.

Looking around, she saw that the place is a mess and she decided to one thing, be herself, "Tranquils!" she shouted. "You should be a shame of yourselves, tricking me into tearing up the lounge just so you can have some fun! Plus, you're tracking mud into the boots! I hate mud, spiders, and scary things!"

"Come on," Arach Hex laughed. "Can't you get dirty for once Tweedle Sweet?"

"Yeah," laughed Taran Jam. "You want to equal Tweedle Sour?"

Julianna got so angry, she grabbed some cleaning supplies and tossed it towards the tricksters. "Clean this up before Dean Dennis shows up and has you all suspended."

The Tranquils didn't want to get suspended, so they started cleaning.

Julianna left the building to go help her friends. Luckily everyone was too distracted by the Tranquil's mess to notice, "Boss," Web Hanger whispered, "don't you think what we did to Tweedle Sweet was a little harsh? I mean I think Tweedle Sour is cool."

"Dude," whispered Fang Nut, "they're twin sisters; it's hard to tell the difference."

"I know," Web Hanger replied, "but Tweedle Sour loves to live the country style, and she's so cool at being a cowgirl."

*Mew Mew Jelly, metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile at The Punchline, the Mew Mews were tied up in an anti-Mew techno rope. Elthunt, Aretha, Crossni, and Poach surrounded the girls, "Hello, ladies," Poach smiled evilly. "We meet again."

"You should be more careful with your pig," Cupcake groaned. "I'm allergic to pork; it breaks me out in pimples."

"Why are you doing all of this?" asked Honey. "You're just like Dren and his goons from 'Mew Mew Power'."

"Easy, my dear," replied Poach. "I want revenge from the Galactic Protection School for kicking me out."

Little did they know was that Mew Mew Jelly came down and hid behind a bunch of black cars.

"I was a cheerful lad back on my planet of Mendelsohnia," explained Poach. "Always playing jokes with the animals. Spibens in pudding Krenoloa in the girls dorms, and Sorrentoads down the headmasters' pants. But the biggest prank of them all: the running of the Turtograndes. It was Spirit Week, and I thought I could liven up the joint by unleashing the giant monsters. Unfortunately, I didn't know that Turtograndes hated the color blue, which was the color of my camouflage gear. The Turtograndes charged me and destroyed the entire school. The headmaster kicked me out and banned me forever from the GPS. So I decided to go into crime and turn beings into monsters. Though I have to have a little help, I hired three criminals to help me with my work, representing air, land, and sea."

"And that's why Crossni came down under the persona of Coach Landon," explained Mew Mew Vanilla. "'Cause she was never a good gym teacher."

"Clever move, Vanilla," smiled Crossni. "He needed some spies to make sure that the planet is perfect for his destructions."

"Too bad," replied Mew Mew Jelly. "This planet is full of life and free from space pranks!"

"Jelly!" shouted the Mew Mews.

"Poach Boar!" shouted Poach. "Jam that jelly butterfly!"

Mew Mew Jelly got out her Anartia Fans and attacked Poach Boar. She spotted a dropped ear of corn on the ground and it got Poach Boar distracted. He was so busy eating the corn, he unintentionally pressed the scanner and freed the other Mew Mews.

"All together now, everyone!" shouted Mew Mew Honey.

"Mew Mew Style,

Mew Mew Grace,

Mew Mew Style, IN! YOUR! FACE!"

Just like that, Poach Boar changed back into a boar. Annoyed by the Mew Mews victory, Poach and his gang left.

"Girls," Jelly replied as she changed back, "I'm sorry I acted a lot like a goth girl. I just wanted to be a rebel."

"I know," Peanut Butter replied as she and the others changed back. "You said you wanted to me to get down with my bad self."

"Lucky for us," replied Julianna, "I taught those Tranquil Teenz by nagging them into cleaning the lounge before Dean Dennis shows up."

"Now that \*is\* you," Presley Beth replied as she hugged her twin sister.

**XxoxX**

The very next evening, our heroes were watching Julianna's favorite telenovela, "Valle de rubí"

"I changed my mind, Zain. I want to be with you instead of your twin brother, Zeke," said the girl on TV.

"Aliza, I knew you come through," the boy said as he kissed her.

"Wow, Julianna," Carla said. "I never thought you liked telenovelas as much as I do."

"I did play a love-child between an heiress pop star and a mad scientist on the soap 'Blinded Pop'," Saatvika explained. "I was on for three seasons till the writers wrote my character off and had her go to a boarding school."

Just then, Rodrigo and Curtis came up, "Rodrigo, Curtis," Harley said as she and Saatvika blushed. "what are you doing here?"

"Came to play 'Road Smashers'," explained Curtis. "Our roommates are taking the time to study, so we came here, instead."

"But we see that your watching 'Valle de rubi,' and we both know Carla loves that show," Rodrigo explained. "So we'll be out of your hair."

"No," Harley said. "This is a good chance for us to bond."

With one look on their faces, Rodrigo and Curtis decided to join. As Curtis sat next to Harley, he acidentally pressed his hand against Harley's and she blushed.

**The End.**

**Chapter 53: Armadillo Aroma**

At the school garden, The ACS girls were arriving to help out, "Tell me again why are we doing this, Harley?" asked Chanel, "You know i'm not a fond of gardening."

"It's a good thing to do for the school." answered Harley, "The groundskeeper is out sick with a cold and Uncle Allen needs somebody to weed the flowers in the garden."

"You know." Vada replied, "Flowers aren't the only thing to garden, they grow fruits, vegetables, and spices too."

"I know." Julianna replied, "I remember visiting a strawberry farm in Oklahoma. Our family was going to check out a Green Jesters concert."

"I always know how to handle dirt and mud." Presley Beth replied, "And you got the right girl for this job."

"Hey everyone." shouted Miss Benjamin, "Surprise to see that i'm supervising. I made a scene at the admissions team from Mali-U by doing a ring of fire with fire proof conditioner."

"Oh yeah." recalled Carla, "Leighton did a report about your act a few days ago and Dean Dennis decided to give you community service. Everyone has been talking about how everyone loves your dance classes."

"Because of my act." Miss. Benjamin said embarrassingly, "They crossed our school off their admissions list."

Over the next ten minutes, The ACS was taking care of the weedy garden. Chanel and Vada pulled out the weeds, Saatvika and Carla placed in new mulch, Danna and Harley watered the flowers, and Presley Beth and Julianna were placing in new flowers.

Little did they know, is that Curtis was watching the whole thing and was taking pictures of them, "Whoa, Harley," Curtis whispered as he wiped his nose, "You really know how to help."

The girls have volunteered to help out with the garden and they notice that Curtis is starting to get some allergies from the flowers.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, an armadillo at a river bank minding its own business. Behind it was another McCart Bug. The bug bit the armadillo and turned it into a monster.

**XxoxX**

In the garden, Fenfang and Dreamheart were both watching them. Fenfang pressed her paw against Dreamheart. Dreamheart placed his tale around Fenfang and she smiled.

"There are a few cliques in schools" explained Harley, "Goths, Skaters, Nerds, Hippies, Loners/Tough kids, Punk Rockers, Rappers, Fashionistas, Artist, Messy Ones, Surfers, Musicians, Jocks, Perky Girls, Mean Girls, Dancers, Tomboys, Rich Kids, Romantics, Weirdos, Adult Figures, and Prankster."

Just then, Curtis started dreaming like crazy. He barged out of the bench and fell down, "Curtis?" asked the ACS.

"Hey girls." greeted Curtis.

"What y'all doing spying on us?" Presley Beth asked in rage.

"Yeah." replied Miss. Benjamin, "I'm a better spy than you.

"I wanted to see what a hardworking girl Harley is." Curtis answered as he sneezed, "Unfortunately, the flower allergies is driving me crazy.

Just as soon as Curtis turned his head, Dreamheart was giving The ACS a vision of McCart Armadillo attacking the front of the school. Chanel, Vada, Saatvika, Carla, and Danna were too busy handling Curtis, so Harley Presley Beth and Julianna decided to handle it themselves.

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

When they got there, they could see that everyone is already running away from the monster. Before McCart Armadillo had a chance to attack the trio, Dreamheart barged in and knocked it to the side. Mew Mew Honey got out her Beary Bow, Mew Mew Peanut Butter got out her Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly got out her Anartia Fans and they attacked the armadillo.

"Hey you, Armadillo Dummy!" shouted Lilith, "Your disturbing the peace."

With all the anger inside her, she tossed her chocolate mocha towards her. Unfortunately, McCart Armadillo scared her and her posse, "Lil." whispered Brielle, "Maybe we should go to our room before the you know what with your pants."

"Agreed." whispered Lilith as she and her posse ran inside.

Mew Mew Honey saw that the prop truck dropped a box of jungle people. In the box, she could see a bunch of fake vines. Thinking quick, she used them as rope to trap McCart Armadillo. To make it look pretty, Mew Mew Jelly made embroidered styled vines. Finally, they did the attack.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, McCart Armadillo was turned back into an armadillo and everyon cheered for the three Mew Mews.

"All in the days work, good patrons of CKH." smiled Mew Mew Honey.

**XxoxX**

Inside the school, they hid behind a bush and changed back. When they got out of the bush, they saw Nurse Millward helping Curtis recover, "Didn't you have a community garden in New York City?" she asked.

"We do." replied Curtis, "But I don't go there a lot. My little sister, 'Tilly' on the other hands loves gardening, but is extremely careful about bringing real flowers into our apartment.

Harley felt bad that her crush has a crazy flower allergy. "You know." Nurse Millward said to the allergy ridden cutie, "Maybe you should take a sick day tomorrow. Nothing is more important than your safety. Plus i'll inform your teachers to give you tomorrow's homework."

Not wanting his allergies to get out of control, he agreed to take the day off.

**XxoxX**

The next day, Curtis was his dorm going through the pictures he took of The ACS gardening. Most of them, were of Harley. As soon as he placed down his camera, Harley came out with some ramen noodle soup, painting she made of some caramels and some caramel cookies. Harley took the day off so she can nurse Curtis back to health. Her uncle was okay with it, because it's perfect for her student reputation to nurse another student to know that I like caramels." recalled Curtis.

"Of course." replied Harley, "Uncle Allen let me look at his permanent records so I can learn a little bit about you. Also, I read in the file that you had family troubles in New York City.

"Yeah," Curtis sadly admitted, "I have an older brother who's away all the time, 'Nolan' and you know about my little sister, 'Tilly'. My mom left me when I was eight to pursue music and I never got along well with my father. All he ever does is ignore me for his job. I wanted to get away from all the drama, so I signed up for the CKH online. Father wasn't okay with it, but I was done with his behavior."

Harley took a sip of her vanilla latte and asked how he was doing with his allergy recovery and his family troubles, "Despite my troubled past," said Curtis "I'll be fine."

**The End.**

**Chapter 54: Deer, Pen Pal**

In the library, Danna and Harley were returning some books when they spotted Carla by a computer. She was writing to her pen pal in Wichita- Khaleesi. Carla told them that Khaleesi was a star baseball player on her school team and was nominated homecoming queen, but loss to the head of the drama club. "And get this" Carla said "Khaleesi has invited me to her baseball game and insists on inviting a few of our ACS members."

From what Harley and Danna remember, Chanel has to volunteer at the pet shelter, Vada is going to try out some new noodle dishes with those insta noodle cups, Saatvika had an online interview with that Bollywood movie director for the summer, and The Twins are going to see that new Leo DiCaprio movie. With everyone being busy, Harley and Danna decided to join.

**XxoxX**

The next day, they arrived at Quincy Bristow High School, named after the founder of the popular Kansas themed fast food chain, Bristow's. In the administrations office, Carla, Harley, and Danna were waiting on Khaleesi when they spotted an Arabian-American girl wearing baseball apparel feeling bummed. Knowing this, that was Carla's pen pal 'Khaleesi'. "Khaleesi?" she asked in consideration, "I'm 'Carla Bello' and these are my friends: Harley Dennis' and Danna Coste.

"Hello" replied Khaleesi, "And about the whole baseball thing. . . . I'm afraid that you won't be able to see the game."

Carla, Danna, Harley were horrified, because they came all this way from the Buddy Ride app to meet her and they not going to see her latest game.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile on his ship, the evil Poach McCartnet was practicing his Poachseball skills, which is like baseball of his planet. As he was a bout to hit his next ball, Aretha Traplin interrupted her boss with her beautiful singing, "Hey there, boss" she said, "I've got a surprise for you on Earth."

On the computer screen, she showed a mutated deer causing trouble in Wichita, "Since you were too busy with your poachesball practice," she explained, "I thought I would do the bug thingy for you."

Poach was delighted, because Aretha was showing her a perfect way to control the helpless Earth animals. To repay her, he told her to go onto Earth and supervise Poach Deer.

**XxoxX**

Back on Earth, Khaleesi was explaining to her new friends that she has a huge crush on the coach's daughter and the coach wouldn't allow them to date. Danna, Harley, and Carla thought it was plain silly to not let two girls date, 'We remember from Saatvika's pictures of Mew Mew Mint and Mew Mew Zakuro holding hands." recalled Carla, "They were made for each other."

"You girls are fans of the Mew Mew Power" asked Khaleesi, "I have the bilingual English/Arabic edition. My papa suggested I get the bilingual English/Arabic edition so I can remember where I came from."

"Good for you" replied Carla.

Outside, the baseball team was running away from a giant deer monster, "Khaleesi" asked Carla, "Could you find this Karsyn person while we -ugh - get the baseball team to safety?"

"Sure thing," answered Khaleesi as she took off.

With the cost clear, Carla, Harley, and Danna transformed into their Mew Mew forms.

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

*Mew Mew Dumpling, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

During the fight Mew Mew Honey used her The Beary Bow, Mew Mew Dumpling fought with her Crested Umbrella, and Mew Mew Cupcake tossed her Sprinkle Frisbee. This not only caused Poach Deer to crash into a hot dog kart next to the bleachers, but to trap an African-American girl with baseball clothes in it too. As quick as they could, Mew Mew Honey and Mew Mew Cupcake helped the girl out and told her to get to safety.

With all three Mew Mews together, they decided to take down the monster.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace,*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

And just like that, Poach Deer was destroyed.

They thought that the excitement was over, but then Aretha popped up and tossed sharp stakes at them. Luckily, Mew Mew Dumpling held them off with her Crested Umbrella. The reflexes were so strong, that it destroyed Aretha's dress, "This is a couture Victorturia Beckhurt dress!" growled Aretha.

"Looks like your torn up." joked Mew Mew Dumpling.

Angered by the joke, Aretha left.

"Now that Land Loather is out of the way," said Mew Mew Cupcake as she changed back to Carla, "Let's check on Khaleesi."

Mew Mews Dumpling and Honey changed back to Danna and Harley and nodded their heads in agreement.

**XxoxX**

Five minutes later, they caught up with Khaleesi and a familiar girl, "That's the girl we saved from the bleachers," whispered Danna.

"Hey, Khaleesi" shouted Carla, "Who's this?"

"This is, 'Karsyn'" explained Khaleesi, "Coach Linville's daughter."

Khaleesi explained to them that Karsyn broke up with her boyfriend for a specific reason and her mom is afraid that of what she is would ruin the baseball team's reputation. Not knowing what she was talking about, Karsyn showed them a letter she received from her locker.

*Dear Karsyn*

*I can't believe that you are bisexual*

*Why would I fall for some mutant like you.*

*We're done and don't ever talk to me.*

*Sincerely, Armando.*

Seeing some stains on the letter, they thought it was blood, "Relax" replied Karsyn, "The red stuff is strawberry jelly. My dad owns a jelly shop here, 'Old Gold Jam'.

"I've seen that store online," Recalled Danna, "I heard donate money to poor villagers in Haiti, where I'm from."

To cheer her up, Khaleesi gave Karsyn a Sweet Surfer cookbook, with a special message.

*To Karsyn*

*You should make your own choices*

*And cakes from this book*

*I'll make sure you have a sweet future*

*Love Khaleesi.*

In the book were recipes for blueberry muffins, peach cobbler, apple turnovers, and cinnamon rolls. Seeing the cookbook and the love confession, Karsyn felt much better.

By a door, a middle-aged baseball coach barged in feeling upset. She was Larsyn's mother, Coach Linville. She was upset because the deer incident destroyed the bleachers for the JR Baseball Summer Team coaches to sit on and the baseball team lost their confidence to qualify for the program. Quickly, Harley found a way to get their confidence back.

**XxoxX**

Twenty minutes later, the judges came in feeling concern about the baseball players. After bubbles popped out of nowhere Carla, Danna, and Harley were coming in dressed as clowns. By a corner, Khaleesi and Karsyn were helping them out by using a bubble machine that Khaleesi owns. Carla and Danna were doing gymnastics while Harley was juggling bananas, "Why was a banana afraid of failing a test" asked Danna "Because he's afraid the teacher would slip."

The judges started to laugh at Harley's joke, so did the other baseball players, "What did the teddy bear say to the toy unicorn" asked Carla, "You make my heart stuffed."

"What does an elephant say at a baseball game?" asked Harley, "Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks!"

The baseball players were so happy, that they auditioned for the JR Baseball Summer Team. Amazed by their athletic talent, the judges decided to let all the members in, including Khaleesi and Karsyn, who are now a couple."

**The End.**

**Chapter 55: Panda-Mania**

A CKH bus was heading off to Panda-Mania in Topeka, a capital in Kansas. Inside the bus, the ACS were getting stoked about Panda-Mania.

"You know what, girls?" chuckled Ms. Benjamin as she drove along the road. "It's hot in Topeka." The girls chuckled at her joke.

"I can't believe that we're here at Panda-Mania," Danna said, "the Chinese festival in Kansas."

"I heard so much about this place, so I decided to check it out," Ms. Benjamin explained. "This is also a good chance to show off my monkey human performing."

"Is that why we're dressed like Chinese acrobats?" asked Chanel. "Because I dyed mine black because the colors weren't me."

"Yeah," Ms. Benjamin answered. "I knew yellow didn't suit you. Now we need you girls to get ready soon."

"What?" asked the girls.

"That's right," Ms. Benjamin replied. "This is the real deal. You know all those Mew Mew missions where you did those Chinese acrobats, they were practice session for a dance."

The girls were stoked about their actual performance at Panda-Mania. "This is just like when we performed that Christmas show for those homeless people," recalled Vada.

**XxoxX**

Later, they arrived in Topeka. Everywhere, Chinese culture was rampaging the place. There were wooden sword dancers, shadow puppetry of the legend of Mulan, and acrobats everywhere.

"This is Mewtastic, Ms. Benjamin," commented Saatvika. "I've seen Chinese imports in some of my movies before, but this takes the moon cake."

In front of them was a panda tent, where they could learn about the national animal of China. Fenfang and Dreamheart wanted to come, but Ms. Benjamin refused. "Fenfang, Dreamheart," she whispered to the two animals, "they don't allow animals in the building unless they're guiding dogs, and I think faking a disability is against the law. You two should just go around the festival and paint the place red."

With two big smiles, Fenfang and Dreamheart agreed to the plan.

**XxoxX**

Inside the tent, they saw a document on panda bears.

*Panda bears were considered very popular in China for their cuteness and shyness. Although endangered, nature organizations did their best to protect them.*

Below the television, there were pamphlets and merchandise about panda bear protection.

While looking at the Panda-Mania brochure, Carla could see that a famous panda will be visiting the festival. "So, chicas," she said, "after we check out the dancing dragons, wanna look at the famous visiting panda?"

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, a white-and-grey Chinese dragon was going around the cage containing the famous panda, Hēi Xīng. In reality, the dancing dragon was actually Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni. Arethra got out a McCart Bug from her mini-purse, stung Hei Xing, and it turned into a panda monsters. The guards tried to capture it, but it was too strong to control.

Little did Poach's cohorts knew was that Fenfang and Dreamheart were spying on them like crows. Looking at the panda monster and the egg roll kart, Dreamheart got an idea. Swiftly, he tossed steamy hot egg rolls towards the monster hoping it would buy it time to alert the Mew Mews.

**XxoxX**

At a Mew Mew stand, Ms. Benjamin spotted a poster with five completely different Mew Mews, much to the ACS' surprise.

"How many Mew Mew teams are there?" asked Danna.

"3,640," Kiki answered, "but I don't want to over-do it like always. So I decided to get to the ones of your countries when you go home for the summer."

The ACS were surprised, because they always thought that they were the only Mew Mew teammates along with the ones from Chocolate City. Just then, they got a vision from Dreamheart: McCart Panda was causing trouble on the other side of the festival.

"We better catch up with Dreamheart and Fenfang, and fast," suggested Vada.

"Go on ahead," replied Ms. Benjamin. "I'm going to stay here and catch up with a little Péngyǒu."

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis!*

After the Mew Mews took off, Ms. Benjamin looked under the Mew Mew table and spotted a Mini-Mew that had peacock patterns and a skunk with a pie slice birthmark over its right eye. "Okay now," she whispered. "The Mew Mews need help."

**XxoxX**

By the time they arrived at a shadow puppetry theater, everyone was running from McCart Panda. "Caught bare-handed!" shouted Mew Mew Honey. "Come on, Mew Mews! Let's end this Panda-monium!"

One by one, they they took down a McCart Panda. Then out of nowhere, a peacock whip came out of nowhere and knocked down McCart Panda, "Batter up, girls," shouted a light-green Mew Mew with peacock feathers and a baseball bat came in, "because Mew Mew Key Lime is here!"

The Mew Mews didn't recognize her, but Cupcake did. "Khaleesi?" she asked.

"That's correct," answered Khaleesi.

"Ugh, Cupcake?" said Mew Mew Honey. "Which pen pal program did you find Khaleesi?"

"The Mew Mew pen pal program," Mew Mew Cupcake answered. "She told me that while she was visiting the Wichita Zoo, she spotted a peacock being smuggled out of the zoo by poachers."

"That's right, Carla," replied Khaleesi. "After I tossed a baseball at one of them, the peacock was free and I've been getting a peacock feather-like marking on my right arm. Your dance teacher emailed me about what's going on, and I joined the Mew Mew program."

"That's right, Khaleesi!" shouted Ms. Benjamin as she scared the Mew Mews again. Believing that Ms. Benjamin knew something, they glared at her.

"About that," explained Mew Mew Pudding. "The Mew Mew pen pal program is an exclusive program where Mew Mews can contact other Mew Mews all over the universe. Though they have to keep the alien ones a secret from their parents - otherwise they'll be sent to hospitals."

Behind Mew Mew Key Lime, the Mini-Mew that looked a lot like a peacock, and the skunk came out with the pie birthmark. "This is my Mini-Mew, Miko. She really loves being pretty," Mew Mew Key Lime explained. "And the skunk is Lolita. She's smarter than your average skunk."

Secretly, McCart Panda grabbed the Mew Mews, except for Mew Mews Key Lime and Dumpling. Angry about their capture, Lolita bounced up and sprayed in McCart Panda's face, dropping the other Mew Mews. Dumpling combined her Crested Umbrella with Won Ton and they made a giant trampoline out of it. She declared, "This is like lifting weights at the circus."

"Mǎxì tuán! Mǎxì tuán!" shouted Won Ton.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Just like that, McCart Panda changed back into Hēi Xīng. "That's Hēi Xīng," recalled Mew Mew Key Lime, "the spinning plate panda."

"I've read about him," recalled Mew Mew Vanilla. "He's a big star at the Topeka Zoo."

"You know," suggested Mew Mew Sundae, "maybe Hei Xing could be part of our act."

Everyone agreed, including Mew Mew Key Lime.

**XxoxX**

Later that day, the ACS were performing a Chinese acrobatic dance routine with Hei Xing doing it's famous panda spinning act. To finish the performance, Khaleesi came in and did some contemporary dancing.

"I can't believe that Khaleesi takes contemporary dance lessons," Danna whispered to Carla.

"Yeah," replied Carla, "She's to embarassed to talk about her secret dancing passions, fears that people would laugh at her."

After everyone cheered, the Mew Mews began to wonder if there were more Mew Mews in Kansas besides them. "There's a Mew Mew group in Kansas," explained Khaleesi. "But I chose to work alone, for now."

Looking up, Julianna could see a familiar face that makes Presley Beth smile. It was Web Hanger of the Tranquil Teenz; he was there for his geography report. Wanting to spend time with her crush, Presley Beth came up and held Web Hanger's hand.

"How's your girl doing anyway?" Carla asked Khaleesi.

"She's doing great," replied Khaleesi. "I promised her an autograph from Mew Mew Cupcake. So, could you do the honors?"

Taking a picture of Mew Mew Cupcake, Carla signed the autograph for Khaleesi's girlfriend.

**The End.**

**Note: Taren Benjamin's legal name based on Geung Lai-Yi, Cantonese dub for Kiki Benjamin. Also, the "It's hot in Topeka" line is a homage to Bloo's line in Foster's Home.**

**Chapter 56: Seahorsin Around**

At Meredith's Masterpiece, Mavis was working on a painting of an Egyptian woman when Carla, Presley Beth, and Julianna came in with some seahorse food.

"Mavis," said Carla, "I have to ask - why are we getting you get seahorse food? You don't even have sea horses."

"I do now," Mavis answered as she took them to the employee lounge.

By the fridge, they saw three searhorses playing around in a small fish tank. "Those must be the seahorses" guessed Presley Beth.

"I like for you three to meet Jedidiah, Ansley, and Makai," explained Mavis. "I named them after three characters in that pawn shop movie, 'Little House of Trinkets'."

"Is that the one where the pawn shop own made his crazy objects to life and scares away the patrons?" asked Julianna. "We had a classmate who did a movie oral report on it last year in Tennessee."

"That's it," replied Mavis. "But there's only one problem, I'm not very good at taking care of pets. Sometimes, I acidentally give them my painted water instead of clean water."

"When you're an artist, Mom," replied Julianna, "you can get pretty messy."

"Yeah," agreed Presley Beth. "Even us cowgirls know how to get down and dirty."

Carla could remember taking care of a few sea creatures at her families' circus, so she decided to give her a few tips to.

**XxoxX**

Little did our heroes know was that Crossni was spying on them. "So," she whispered as she got out three McCart bugs, "you wanna let it rain?"

Inside the shop, while Carla, Presley Beth, and Julianna were admiring the little seahorses. Congee, Lo, and Mein started sensing something. "Wéixiǎn! Wéixiǎn! (Danger! Danger!)"

This could only mean one thing - that McCart bugs were here. They tried to capture them, but it was too late; the McCart bugs stung Mavis' new seahorses. Worried that the seahorses would destroy the shop, they quickly took the creatures and tossed them outside. On the ground, they transformed into mutated seahorses. Mavis then gave the three girls hand sanitizer in case mutation germs got on them.

"Thanks, Mavis," Julianna replied. "Always take care of your hands after handling pets."

"That's right," Mavis replied. "Now you gotta stop those monsters before they go all fire hose-y on the patrons of Kansas City."

"What about the others?" Julianna asked.

"Chanel and Vada are taking that cooking class at the rec center on how to make animal shaped cakes, and Saatvika, Danna, and Harley are at that junior gymnastics tournament at Velossi's Stadium," recalled Carla.

"Looks like it's just the three of us for this mission," guessed Presley Beth.

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Peanut Butter, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Jelly, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

While hopping around town, Dreamheart gave them a vision of one of the sea horses causing trouble in downtown Kansas City. By an art supplies shop, they caught up with the space fox.

"Dreamheart," whispered Mew Mew Peanut Butter, "we already know about the seahorses going crazy. We gotta stop them."

Inside the shop, everyone was running away from the crazy McCart seahorses. The three sea mammals shot out water and ruined the displaying paintings. The trio was petrified by the hard work being destroyed, even getting through the varnish. Combining Congee with the Sprinkle Frisbee distracted the McCart monsters to the exit.

"Magnifico, Carla," complimented Mew Mew Jelly.

"No problema," replied Mew Mew Cupcake.

Looking down on the dirty ground, Mew Mew Peanut Butter could see a book called "Sea Creature Care for Morons." She figured that Mavis could use this book to help her newfound biological mother.

"The book can wait," replied Mew Mew Jelly. "Now we have to go find Mom's new seahorses before Kansas City turns into a surfing contest."

Using his powerful ears, Dreamheart sensed Crossni and the three McCart seahorses by a construction site.

**XxoxX**

At the construction site, workers were running away from the three psycho seahorses. When Dreamheart and the Mew Mews arrived at the scene of the crime. Mew Mews Peanut Butter and Jelly decided to take care of this. Combining Mein with her Anartia Fans, she made a hologram of a shark that scared the three of them into a mud pit. Then it was time for the final pose.

*Mew Mew Style, Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

In a flash, the three seahorses reverted back to their original selves. "Quick!" shouted Mew Mew Peanut Butter as she picked them up. "We got to give Jedidiah, Ansley, and Makai some water!"

**XxoxX**

Within a few hops, the Mew Mews changed back to normal, kicked off their socks and shoes and placed them in the river. "That was a little out of whack," Carla said, "but it's the best we got."

"Good thing our cellphones are waterproof," informed Julliana. "Plus this is something Ms. Benjamin would do."

"Did someone call my name?" said Ms. Benjamin from behind.

Behind Ms. Benjamin was Mavis, who was concerned about her new pets. "I was getting some supplies for my paper lantern making when I spotted three McCart Monsters causing trouble," explained Ms. Benjamin. "I got her a 'For Morons' book about sea creature care at the book store."

"That explains why would a pet book be at an art supply store," replied Presley Beth. "Plus it smelled a lot like bananas."

One by one, they placed the three seahorses in a plastic bag that Mavis had so they wouldn't escape. "Now that Jedidiah, Ansley, and Makai are back with me," smiled Mavis, "we should get back to my art shop before the Friendly Scouts of Kansas City arrive."

**XxoxX**

Back at Meredith's Masterpiece, Carla, Presley Beth, and Julliana returned the seahorses to the fish tank and the three seahorses dances with glee because they were back with their new owner. Mavis was happy now that her seahorses are safe and sound.

During the next two hours while they were teaching the Friendly Scouts of Kansas City how to do oceanography painting, Carla, Presley Beth, Julianna and Ms. Benjamin taught Mavis how to take care of her pet.

**XxoxX**

Later that night, Ms. Benjamin was getting into her pajamas when she decided to check on her seahorses. She went down to the lounge and saw that they were alright. She may not have been able to raise her twin daughters, but she was going to do great with raising three seahorses.

**The End.**

**Chapter 57: Gorilla Cheese Sandwiches**

At an elaborate hotel, the ACS was arriving with their luggage in their arm, for this was the weekend they got to stay for free. "I can't believe that we're here at the Great Gorilla Lodge," squealed Vada.

"I know," Julianna replied. "And all it took was a little understudy gig."

"Never thought that monkeys could hate Scottish music," Vada replied back.

After Harley checked them in, they noticed that Ms. Benjamin was missing. On a chandelier, Ms. Benjamin was swinging around like crazy, screeching like a chimp and making everyone laugh, much to the bellhops' irritation. They knew that they couldn't kick the understudy act out or else they'd loose their jobs, so they decided to let her off with a warning.

"Ms. Benjamin," Vada said, "instead of monkeying around like you always do, how about you explore the hotel with us after we unpack?"

"Okay!" shouted Ms. Benjamin.

**XxoxX**

After unpacking, they decided to split up in case Ms. Benjamin made a scene again.

At the garden, Chanel and Danna were both admiring the flowers. While Danna was studying the petals of a lily, Chanel stared at Danna then she looked away with a big blush. When she reached to a bunch or irises, Ms. Benjamin came in with irirses in her hair. "Did you know that irises are the national flower of France?" she asked. "Snapple fact from peach tea."

"Oui," Chanel replied in annoyance. "We're busy \*studying\* flowers. You should probably go to the ballroom."

Instead of being disappointed, Ms. Benjamin shouted "Okay!" and skipped to the ballroom.

Their Mini-Mews decided to look after Ms. Benjamin, just so they won't get in trouble.

At the ballroom, Presley Beth and Julliana were learning how to samba when Ms. Benjamin came in and did a ribbon dance routine. Everyone was so weirded out by her routine, they all left. Presley Beth and Julianna, on the other hand, stayed behind so they could control her.

"Ms. Benjamin," Presley Beth groaned, "that dance you did was a real samba squisher."

"Never heard of that," Ms. Benjamin replied.

Little did they know, Elthunt was going around disguised as a bellhop while Arethra and Crossni were dressed like old time maids. "So," Crossni whispered, "where's that cousin of yours is going to show up?"

"You mean Cherlie?" Elthunt asked. "She should be-."

"Right here!" shouted an alien lady were pop-styled clothes.

"Cherlie," Arethra smiled. "We have all your albums. So you're famous in the criminal world for faking those rescues you do."

"That's right," Cherlie replied. "Cousin Elthunt and I use to be part of the Ceciperide Crew. We're going to stage the most unstoppable stunt we'll ever do. Just got to wait for my teammates to get two of those Mew Maroons."

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Harley and Saatvika were both going around the hotel's gallery when they spotted a strange statue that had a yellow Chinese hanfu with monkeys on them. They couldn't tell who it was with the fan covering her face, but the monkey patterns and banana peels below couldn't fool them.

"Ms. Benjamin," Harley groaned, "stop fooling around."

Placing her fan down, Ms. Benjamin step down and laughed, "I bought this hanfu while I was in college. Nobody wanted to buy it, so I got it for a quarter."

"That's pretty cheap for a hanfu," Saatvika admitted.

"Where are Vada and Carla?" Ms. Benjamin asked. "I want to show them this art gallery and the free cooking lessons the hotel gives them."

"Haven't seen them since we unpacked," replied Harley.

All of a sudden, Sichuan and Congee came in flying with Vada and Carla's Mew Mew pendants around their necks. Knowing this, Harley and Saatvika had a funny feeling that Vada and Carla had been kidnapped. "We better get the other girls, quick," Harley suggested.

**XxoxX**

Later, the Mew Mews were gathered by the outdoor pool and Harley informed them of Carla and Vada's disappearance.

"This can't be good," Danna replied. "Where are we going to find our personal chef and circus girl now?"

On the televisions, Cherlie was broadcasting a stunt. Behind her were her teammates - Madownna, Whitmean, Taylure Dame, and Molly Riggwald - who were all dressed as villains and were holding Carla and Vada hostage. Carla and Vada were both bound and gagged. Observing their horrible acting, Harley could tell that they were faking the disaster. "Well, I'll be a monkey's aunt," she groaned. "Those girls have gone Major Man."

"Gone Major Man?" Ms. Benjamin asked. "What's that?"

"For a dance teacher/former Mew Mew," Harley replied, "you probably never heard of that slang."

"Zoey, Wesley, and Elliot knew I would be too hyperactive to understand the term," Ms. Benjamin admitted.

Harley explained that during the '90s, Major Man was a protector of Townsville who had saved many lives. However, it turned out he was only faking his disasters so he could get all the fame and glory. He got caught while trying to fight off a monster the NSA found who wanted to help people.

"We don't want another \*major\* problem," Ms. Benjamin said. "Let's go!"

*Mew Mew Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

At the top of the hotel, Cherlie was about to "rescue" Carla and Vada when the Mew Mews came in. "We know your not a real hero, Cherlie," Mew Mew Pudding declared.

"What are you talking about?" Cherlie asked. "I \*am\* a hero."

Remembering the time when they made Leighton's gang confess to humiliating Chanel, Mew Mew Pudding did her monkey noises to make them admit that Cherlie faked her disasters with Madownna's hacking, Whitmean and Taylure's acting, and Molly's special effects. While Mew Mew Pudding and the Mini-Mews bothered them with their monkey noises, Mew Mews Sundae and Dumpling freed Carla and Vada.

"Thanks, girls," Vada replied. "Looks like going to a fake lecture on the perfect pie throw isn't such a good idea."

"I know," Carla replied. "At least Sichuan and Congee made it out with our pendants."

*Mew Mew Vanila, Metamorphosis!*

*Mew Mew Cupcake, Metamorphosis!*

All together, the Mew Mews did their final pose.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

And just like that, Cherlie and her gang were defeated. From their ship, Arethra and Crossni glared at Elthunt. Arethra stated, "Looks like hiring your cousin wasn't such a good idea, huh?"

"You're right," Elthunt replied. "Looks like it's back to being stunt people for action films."

**XxoxX**

Later at the Monkey Expo, everyone was gathering around to see the replacement monkey act. Ms. Benjamin did her acrobats, Chanel, Vada, and Satvika were doing some Asian fan dancing, Carla, Danna, and Harley were doing a dragon dance, and Presley Beth and Julianna did some cartwheels. After that, everyone cheered.

**The End**

**Chapter 58: Howler At The Moon**

It was a quiet Tuesday morning at Ms. Benjamin's modern dance class. Everyone was dancing to a boy band mash-up. "Okay, class," she said. "As you all know, after lunch, we'll be taking a field trip to the new boy band museum in downtown Kansas City."

Most of the girls squealed for the boy band museum. "While we're there," continued Ms. Benjamin, "we'll be learning how boy bands are made from The Jackson 5 to Sev'ral Timez."

While they were getting out of class, Chanel and Danna spotted Peyton, Brielle, and Rylee hearing about the boy band trip. "Have you three been cutting class again?" asked Danna. "You know Dean Dennis wouldn't like it."

"Relax, losers," sneered Peyton. "Dean Dennis gave us the day off so we can see our daddies cut the ribbon at the new boy band museum."

Remembering their concert in Paris years ago, Chanel recalled that their fathers were the Blue Scarves, a hunky boy band from England, famous for their smash hit "Stripe a Pose."

"That's it," replied Brielle. "And what're you girls going to do, go to a Smashing Pumpkins concert under sea?"

"No," answered Danna. "We're going to the boy band museum too after lunch. Ms. Benjamin thought it'd be a good way to learn about the history of boy bands."

Peyton, Brielle, and Rylee were so annoyed by them going to the museum that they decided to leave to get ready.

**XxoxX**

After lunch, Ms. Benjamin's dance students were heading off to the Kansas City Boy Band Museum. Now they arrived at the same time that the Blue Scarves were about to cut the ribbon for the museum. They were charming men who wore blue tiger-striped clothes and blue scarves. Besides them were three hot ladies who looked like something from

"Mean Girls."

"That's the Blue Scarves," whispered Saatvika. "They look like they've passed their prime."

"Yeah," whispered Chanel, "but their wives look really familiar."

"I know who they are," answered Ms. Benjamin. "They're the Three Beckys."

"The Three Beckys," whispered Saatvika. "You mean the Three Beckys who were Bridget's former slavemasters who spend her money and do her homework?"

"That's them," replied Ms. Benjamin. "Back when we were in school, they fell madly in love with the Blue Scarves and rushed into romance. Later on, the three of them became teenage parents and dropped out of school. Now these days, they work as groupies for the Blue Scarves, and also help out with sound and stereo."

The ACS didn't want to jump to conclusions on the Three Beckys, so they decided to ignore them and enjoy the museum.

**XxoxX**

Later that day, Ms. Benjamin was admiring the first Teensicle poster when the Three Beckys spotted her, "Look here, girls," growled Becky A. "It's the Mew Mew Monkey."

"Hello, Beckys," said Ms. Benjamin flatly, "How's wasting your life? Since that's all you ever do."

"We don't waste our lives," Becky B lied. "We make sure out hubbies get what they want."

"Yeah," snarled Miss Benjamin, "but hurrying into romance, becoming teenage parents, and dropping out of school? That is bananas. I know many people in America become teenage parents like one of the members of In Real Life."

"Who cares?" Becky C snapped. "We love The Blue Scarves." In the poster, the Three Beckys could see Teensicle holding a howler monkey.

"Teensicle once came to the CKH for a 'Save the Monkeys' rally as the main attraction," Ms. Benjamin explained. "Another reason why I came to CKH to be a teacher - the school mascots are howler monkeys! Go, CKH Monkeys!" The cheer was so loud that it crept The Three Beckys away.

Unknown to Ms. Benjamin, a McCart Bug was flying around to find another animal to turn into a monster. Unfortunately, none was to be seen until a street organist and his pet howler monkey was playing "Harmony Heaven" when he bit the monkey and turned it into a monster.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Ms. Benjamin couldn't get the thought of the Three Beckys out of her head. Suddenly, she looked up and saw Peyton, Brielle, and Rylee hugging their fathers, the Blue Scarves. \*So those gossip magazines are true\*, she thought to herself. \*Peyton, Brielle, and Rylee are their daughters. If only they passed health class, their girls wouldn't be so spoiled\*.

From a Dreamheart vision, she could see McCart Howler wrecking the 98 Degrees exhibit. "I better go One Direction so no one becomes a 'Fate's Fools'."

*Mew Mew Pudding, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

By the time she reached the 98 Degrees exhibit, she shouted, "Oh boys! Looks like you got a Westlife!"

McCart Howler was horrified by Mew Mew Pudding's appearance. Using her gymnastics abilities, Mew Mew Pudding was able to take down the monster. All of a sudden, the other Mew Mews showed up in time.

"Hey, Pudding," Mew Mew Honey greeted. "Dreamheart just gave us a vision of what's going on here."

"Let's give him a Big Time Rush before he gives the museum a Boy Quake," Danna joked.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face.*

At the speed of light, McCart Howler turned back into a normal howler monkey.

"Jonas!" shouted the street organ player. "I was so worried about you. That's enough peanuts for one day. After the street organist left, the girls decided to continue exploring the museum.

**XxoxX**

Later, the ACS were being mesmerized by the museum wings. Chanel and Danna were checking out the New Kids on The Block wing, Saatvika and the twins were admiring the Backstreet Boys wing, Harley and Vada were dacing to NSYNC songs, and Carla was mimicking moves from Menudo.

After looking at the Boy Candy fashion, they bumped into Peyton, Brielle, and Rylee. Behind them were their parents. "So, Ms. Benjamin's right," Harley snarled. "You really are the Three Beckys' daughters."

"That's right," Rylee replied. "And are you jealous that our daddies are a famous boy band?"

"You tell em, Ry," Brielle gloated.

"We've became their New Edition after we were born," Peyton explained.

"Not really," Harley answered, "especially to a boy band who lip syncs. My big sister is a talent and won a karaoke competition when we were kids. She taught me the difference between lip syncing and real singing. Observing the Blue Scarves video, I can tell that Barry, Burns, and Nally aren't talented singers."

"What're you talking about?" Burns asked with a nervous Liverpudlian accent.

"Come on now," Barry interupted in a Liverpoolian accent. "We knew we could do better than Boys II Men and the Bad Boys, whom the latter never sold a CD due to a rule of having one 'bad boy' per group."

"Yeah," Chanel replied. "A.J. McLean would've hated it."

"Barry, you blabber-mouth," Nally growled. "You're gonna blow our cover."

"Too late," Danna replied. "Our teacher has been livestreaming the whole time. She always knew that there was something screwy about you three stooges. Getting into the music business for the money and to promote Barry's family's winter clothes store."

"Hey!" Barry shouted. "We were the Jonas Brothers of the early 2000s, and we're better than them!"

Just as they were about to leave, their fans surrounded them and pelted them with the complimentary blue scarves they gave to the fans.

**XxoxX**

The next day, the ACS were playing ping pong when they got the latest paper.

*Rumors of Blue Scarves lip syncing revealed to be true after cuckoo teacher from CKH livestreams their exposure.*

"That Ms. Benjamin always has a plan," Carla commented. "And me likey."

**The End.**

**Chapter 59: Leave It To The Beavers**

In the outskirts of town, a CKH bus stopped by Innocence Feather, an old barn that hasn't made profit since the '90s. One by one, the ACS, Rodrigo, Curtis, and Leighton popped out of the bus.

"Look at this dude ranch," said Carla. "It's so old."

"Coach Howland told me that the CKH comes here every year for their end-of-school party," Ms. Benjamin said as she came out. "It was the best one the school can buy."

"This is a good article for the Cyrus K Chronicle," Leighton replied as she stopped. "I made a semi-rhyme."

While getting a few decorations, Saatvika bumped into Rodrigo. "Hey, Rodrigo," she said blushed cheeks. "You're helping out with the end of school dance."

"Si," Rodrigo replied. "Figure that'll be a good way to celebrate for all our hard work."

"Attention, everyone!" shouted a voice from behind. "Please put your delicate fins and paws together for the only and only Lilith Jakeman!"

Lilith popped out of the bus while dressed as a circus acrobat with shark patterns and sat on a barrel. "Now where's that guacamole dip?" she asked.

But as Lilith realized, the preparations weren't ready, "Ugh, Lilith," replied Ms. Benjamin. "The party hasn't started, plus we're having a little trouble with a landlord."

"Landlord?" asked Lilith. "I didn't know that we're having landlord troubles."

"We are," Harley explained. "Boston J Montagne is one of the biggest real estate names in Kansas and wants to tear down cause it's crawling with beavers. The little construction workers are very adorable."

"Oh, please," growled Lilith. "I'm only here so I can get a good reputation for my mommy's photography business. Unlike some people who just disappear."

Harley felt a little suspicious, but she decided to help Curtis with the games anyway.

Little did the CKH know that in the woods, Poach, Elthunt, Crossni, and Aretha were planning something evil.

"Okay now," Poach said to his group. "Those CKH twerps want an end of school party they won't forget.

**XxoxX**

By a horse stable, they saw a beaver eating some wood. With one bite from a McCart Bug, the beaver turned monstrous.

**XxoxX**

Inside the barn, Harley found a little trunk with some chains and a lock in it. Wanting to help her master, Lotus Leaf flew to it, used its monkey tail as a key, and opened the lock. Inside, Harley found a groovy discovery.

"Look at these cameras," said Danna. "Someone would just throw away good '70s cameras."

"That was left there during the '70s," explained Ms. Benjamin as she came in. "The dean at the time thought it would be a good idea to remember how people used cameras back when 'Space Wars,' 'Saturday Night Fever,' and 'Hippies' were popular, so he decided to place them here."

Harley looked at a camera and looked at the inside of the camera. "It looks like there's still empty film on them." she said.

"Save it for the dump!" shouted an elderly man in a business suit.

It was Boston J Montagne. He came early to make sure that they didn't succeed.

"Because of some monster beavers," explained Boston. "I decided to forclose the mortgage and to be used to CKH needs."

While they were arguing about beavers being monstrous, Dreamheart gave them a vision of a McCart Beaver terrorizing the horses. Not wanting to blow their cover, Kiki decided to only let one of the Mew Mews find the monster. "You handle McCart Beaver, Harley," she whispered. "The rest of us will handle the landmakers."

"Usually it's landlord, but this is urgent," Harley corrected quietly.

*Mew Mew Honey, Metamorphosis*

**XxoxX**

Hopping up and down like a kangaroo, Mew Mew Honey started looking around for danger when she spotted McCart Beaver scarring away horses. "Stop horsin' around!" she shouted.

"Look at here, mates!" shouted Poach. "It's the down-under-the-weather leader of Mew Mew Infinity!"

Aretha, Elthunt, and Crossni laughed at Poach's insult while Mew Mew Honey found it really annoying. Using her Beary Bow, she tried to take them down, but it was no use. Before Poach got a chance to kill Honey, a flash of light popped out of nowhere. The rest of the Mew Mews started to blind McCart Beaver with snapshots.

"Good timing," Mew Mew Honey commented.

"We knew you needed help," explained Mew Mew Saatvika. "So, we decided to blind these pranking poachers with photography power!"

Mew Mew Chocolate got out her Striped Sword, Mew Mew Vanilla got out her Freezing Flute, Mew Mew Sundae got out her Illusion Staff, Mew Mew Cupcake got out her Sprinkle Frisbee, Mew Mew Dumpling got out her Crested Umbrella, Mew Mew Honey got out her Beary Bow, Mew Mew Peanut Butter got out her Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly got out her Anartia Fans. One by one, they took down the monster until it was time for the final call.

*Mew Mew Style Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style In Your Face*

In a flash, McCart Beaver turned back into a regular beaver and ran off.

"Fine!" shouted Poach. "Beavers need dental work anyway!" Annoyed by another failure thanks to the Mew Mews, Poach and his gang teleported back to their spaceship.

"Jules and I will handle the snapshots when we get back to CKH," Mew Mew Honey explained. "There's a dark room at the CKH uses for Photography Class. After their developed, we're going to give the ones of the monster to the Mew Mew Organization. Figure they need a little someting for their archive."

"Good point," Mew Mew Chocolate agreed/ "Government agencies always have files about monsters, including ones from outer space."

Looking up, they could see that the forest was destroyed. Not wanting to blow their cover, Mew Mew Honey combined Lotus Leaf with the Beary Bow and changed the forest back to its original form.

**XxoxX**

Back at the barn, they could see Leighton, Curtis, Lilith, and Rodrigo laughing like hyenas. "You should see what Ms. Benjamin is doing now!"

In the middle of the barn. Kiki was juggling fire torches and Chinese onions at the same time. "So, Bosty," she asked, "care to let us continue with our dance?"

Boston was too freaked out to answer.

"She's the craziest teacher in CKH's history," admitted Rodrigo.

Hearing this, Harley got an idea. "If you think she's crazy," she told Boston, "you should see her riding a tire swing in Hathaway Plains. The people there love her as much as the Monkees."

Boston was weirded out by what Harley said. Seeing what Harley was doing, the other members of the ACS joined in.

"What about her performing Sea Monkey Kabuki?" suggested Chanel.

"Or perhaps her spinning plates while on a bouncy ball," suggested Vada.

"Or catching a wedding bouquet with one jump," suggested Saatvika.

"Or doing a ring of fire with fire proof conditioner?" suggested Carla.

"Or sleeping in the Recreation Room to see if a ghost is real?" suggested Danna.

"Or doing gymnastics skills towards a bouncy castle?" suggested Presley Beth.

"Or making students confess their wrong-doing by bugging them with monkey noises?" suggested Julianna.

Boston couldn't stand Kiki's monkey antics, so he decided to call off the closing and head for the hills. Everyone cheered for the ACS handling Boston.

**XxoxX**

Later that night, the end-of-school dance was going on. Everyone was dancing, playing games, and listening to music from the latest stars like Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes. Harley was eating a cheeseburger while Carla ate a bacon burger.

"Can you believe all the hard work we did?" asked Carla.

"This is going great," Harley replied. "And all it took was a little Ms. Benjamin mentionings."

"Okay, folks," announced Dean Dennis. "Let's bring things down with a little slow dance."

While the DJ started playing the Bangles' "Eternal Flame." Saatvika and Rodrigo, Presley Beth and Web Hanger, and Chanel and Danna came up and dance.

"Sounds like some of our amigos are having a good time," suggested Carla.

"I know," Julianna replied. "My twin sister and Web Hanger are really cute together."

"If only I'd have a boyfriend," hoped Vada.

"Hey, Harley," greeted Curtis as Harley turned and blushed. "Care to dance?"

"Go on, Har," whispered Carla.

Seeing her friend and her crush, Harley took Curtis's dance and danced to the Bangles' song. Suddenly, she bumped into her Uncle Allen and his fiancé. "Uncle Allen," she said nervously. "It's not what you think."

"Relax," replied Dean Dennis with a smile. "You are dancing with Curtis, which I like. This is just like your parents' wedding dance."

"I remember from looking at Mom and Dad's wedding album," recalled Harley. "And this was their wedding dance song."

"Allen surely knows how to bring back memories," admitted Nurse Millward.

After Dean Dennis gave her an encouraging wink, Harley and Curtis went back to slow dancing.

**The End**

**Chapter 60: Make A Monkey Out Of Me part 1**

Our heroes were in their homerooms, the girls were finishing up their finals for the year. It was struggling, but they did the best could do to pass class. While they were turning in their finals, they were doing some thinking about what they were going to do for the summer.

\*I know I'll be far away from mon amore, Danna\*, Chanel thought to herself, \*but this year I should join a club\*.

\*Looks like it's back to serving soups at my family's soup shop again\*, Vada thought to herself.

\*I can't wait to get my movie career back in order\*, Saatvika thought to herself.

\*This year is going to be magnifico\*, Carla thought to herself. \*I'm going to be recruiting new members for our familia's circus\*.

\*I hope I get into that band in Haiti\*, Danna thought to herself. \*If not, I can always help at my family's pet shelter\*.

\*This is the perfect year to do a book report on 'Treasure Island'\*, Harley thought to herself. \*If I did it once, I can do it again\*.

\*Summer's here, and I'll teaching younglings how to ride horses\*, Presley Beth thought to herself, \*and show Mama what Julianna and I have been doing\*.

\*Mama is really looking forward to seeing our Tennessee home\*, Julianna thought to herself. \*I just hope that Papa Willie and Papa Darwin make plenty of room\*.

**XxoxX**

After class, they all met up at the modern dance room, for a Chinese takeout lunch with Ms. Benjamin. They were all still nervous about passing the finals for the year.

"I know that some of you are going to the upper class next year," Kiki said to Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika, "so I decided to give you girls an all-day trip to the mall." Chanel, Vada, and Saatvika were thrilled because they got to go to the mall.

While the girls were rooting for their all-day mall trip, Harley spotted two Mew Mews with shark and dolphin instincts. One girl wore brown and had shark features while one wore yellow and had dolphin features. "Those were the original Australian Mew Mew team, Mew Mew: Good Onya. Mew Mew Mocha was bonded with the great white shark, while Mew Mew Latte bonded with the bottom nose dolphin."

When they asked Harley why she was getting up on her studies on the Mew Mews of Australia, she said that she felt a strong connection towards them. Then they asked what happened to them. "Fame got into Mocha's head, and the two sisters became estranged from each other," explained Kiki.

"Wait," inquired Harley. "They were sisters?"

"\*Twin\* sisters," Ms. Benjamin replied. "Just like Pres and Jul."

"Well," Presley Beth replied, "we're not going to go down the same path Mocha and Latte did. Right, sis?"

"I do declare." replied Julianna.

**XxoxX**

Later, the girls were enjoying themselves when they spotted an AD free show.

*Mew Mew Mighty Show*

Ms. Benjamin recognized it as the mall superhsow to promote the anime. Excited about seeing it, the Mew Mews barged through to get front row seats. Amazed by their excitement, Ms. Benjamin joined in.

Little did they know was that Arethra, Elthunt, and Crossni were spying on them. "Is this what it's like to disguise yourself as a human being in order to get information for Poach?" Arethra asked.

"It's not easy," Crossni replied. "But at least I met a cute gym teacher."

"Zander Howland?" Elthunt asked. "Enough talk, though. A group of monkeys are going to be here for a photoshoot and we need the best distraction for Operation: Monkey Around."

From his dreadful keytar, Elthunt summoned a few McCart Bugs. They flew to the monkeys at the photoshoot.

**XxoxX**

Meanwhile, Ms. Benjamin seemed to have noticed that the actors had gone missing. From behind, she could tell that the director of the show was complaining about the actors' car breaking down in the middle of nowhere and they couldn't make it to the show. Quietly, she told the Mini-Mews to schedule the Mew Mew Infinity's apperance at the mall. After she got offstage, they got visions from Dreamheart about the McCart Monkeys wrecking a discount item store.

"You guys rescue the low-price shop," Ms. Benjamin said. "I have a feeling that Poach's posse might be in this mall.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis!*

**XxoxX**

At the discount shop, they saw the McCart Monkeys breaking things. Mew Mew Chocolate slashed with her Stripe Sword, Mew Mew Vanilla chilled things out with her Freezing Flute, Mew Mew Sundae casted spells with her Illusion Staff, Mew Mew Cupcake tossed her Sprinkle Fribsee, Mew Mew Dumpling blew the troubles away with her Crested Umbrella, Mew Mew Honey shot from her Beary Bow, Mew Mew Peanut Butter wrapped things up with her Silky Lasso, and Mew Mew Jelly sliced with her Anartia Fans.

*Mew Mew Style*

*Mew Mew Grace*

*Mew Mew Style*

*In Your Face*

Swiftly, the monkeys turned back into their regular forms. Now all that was left was to take the monkeys back to the mall's photography studio. Remembering the phrase "monkey see monkey do," they decided to mimic monkeys back to the studio.

While they were getting the monkeys back to the studio, Mew Mew Cupcake saw Ms. Benjamin going off with Arethra, Elthunt, Crossni, and her eyes were glowing. Thinking back to the cartoons with hypnosis episodes, she could tell that Ms. Benjamin had been hypnotized.

**XxoxX**

After that, she explained to the girls about Ms. Benjamin's trance. "I get it," Harley replied. "The McCart Monkeys were used as a distraction so they could go after the real target: our teacher."

"We're going to need all the help we can get," suggested Saatvika. "And by that, I mean the other Mew Mews."

Just then, the girls got abducted by space aliens. This wasn't just any spaceship, but a Mew Mew spaceship. From the window, they could see numerous stars. "Look at the stars," Danna said. "Aren't they beautiful?"

"They are," Chanel answered as she looked at Danna.

Danna started daydreaming about her and Chanel dancing in the stars, just like in the movie "La La Land." Danna was dressed as a female Seb while Chanel was dressed as gothic Mia. Just as they were about to kiss, Vada snapped Danna backed to reality. "You might wanna have to look at that," she said as she pointe to a few familiar faces,

"Zoey, Corina, Bridget, Renee, Fenfang," Chanel recalled. "You're all here, too."

"Yeah," Zoey replied. "We were going over a few Mew Mew rules to the Pentaglean Mew Mews when we got a distressed call about Operation: Monkey Around."

"According to the satellite," said a charming man with brown hair, "Operation: Monkey Around was used to kidnap Kiki and make her become their wrecking machine for the Galactic Protection School on Mendelhonia."

"You're Wesley," Saatvika recalled, "the facilitator of the Mew Mews."

"Facilitator?" Presley Beth asked. "Isn't that them superhero folk who help organize the work?"

"That's right," Saatvika replied. "And of course, there's Elliot Grant. But where is he?"

"He's on Catnoria lecturing on Mew Mew weapons," explained Wesley. "Now all we have to do is disguise yourselves, so Poach's crew wouldn't catch them."

Giving them each small small vials filled with yellow potion, Wesley explained that their vials of monkey DNA, which will make them disguise themselves as space monkeys in order to infiltrate the GPS and save Ms. Benjamin. One by one, they each drunk the vials and turned into monkey-hybrids. Amazed by the disguises, they left and took off to save Ms. Benjamin. Fenfang and Dreamheart came along too so there could be some extra help. "I wonder if we should tell them that the monkey disguises have a side effect that makes them behave like Earth monkeys?" Zoey whispered.

"Perhaps not," Bridget replied. "They would get upset about it. The Animal Caretakers Society has dealt with Kiki's behavior for a very long time."

**Chapter 61: Make A Monkey Out Of Me part 2**

On Mendelhonia, the Mew Mews were arriving infront of the Galactic Protection School, the same place where Poach McCartnet got kicked out of. In order to avoid suspicion, the girls decided to split up to find their missing hypnotized teacher.

Chanel and Danna found a burial chamber where there were students who died during class sessions.

"This is just like in the second Mary Panner book," Danna whispered, "where Mary discovers the tombs of students who died during their time at school."

The plaques on the coffins were in alien. Finding a translator box, they swap from alien to english and began to read, "Velour-Gan of Corneria: died of bucked of acid over door." Chanel read while looking confused, "Ailani of Ko-35: died of poisoned pickle juice cup. Z'Banter of Zalgea: died of Blisscore Stink Bomb attack."

This was very strange for them, because they were similar to Earth's practical jokes, only deadlier. Observing carefully, she could see that the perpetraitor of the pranks was caused by Hezekiah McCartnet, otherwise known as Poach McCartnet.

"So," Danna guessed, "Hezekiah is his real name. That makes a lot of sense, because no one would wanna have their kid's name 'Poach'."

"Not even a lesbian couple," blabbed out Chanel as she covered her mouth.

Curiously, Danna asked if Chanel liked her. Willingly Chanel professed, "Oui." Danna took her hand and kissed her.

Meanwhile, Harley and the twins found a library. All around, they could see books on galactic heroes, protections, and targeting. While going through the hero section, Julianna found a book on the Mew Mews. She couldn't read the alien writing, but could tell that there were Mew Mews all over the galaxies, from the many planets of the Zallegro Galaxy to the peaceful worlds of Magix. She declared, "Looks like we're not the only Mew Mews around, y'all."

"Yeah," Presley Beth replied. "There are some on Catnoria and Bananaion. Come to think of it, I \*am\* getting hungry for bananas."

**XxoxX**

By the kitchen, Saatvika, Carla, and Vada were going around the place to look for Mis. Benjamin. Saatvika figured that Cafe Mew Mew is their cover-up, they could be here. Suddenly, they smelled some space bananas and digged. At the door, an alien chef was mad at them for hogging the space bananas for his space banana nut soufflé. Immediately, the girls stopped eating the bananas and ran off.

**XxoxX**

Later, they arrived at the stadium where all the GPS students train where everyone was called for an urgent meeting. Everyone was confused, because their leader, Commander Aubriella, already had an urgent meeting last week on what to do if you see someone smuggle stink bombs into the school.

Onstage, Poach and his goons came up with a hypnotized Ms. Benjamin. "You gullible geese," Poach smiled. "It was I who sent the emergency call, just to lure you losers into becoming my slaves.

The students were shocked by the deception. Just then, Vada felt her tummy rumblings. "Why am I still craving for bananas?" she asked.

"I don't know," Saatvika replied, "but my butt is very itchy."

Quickly, the ACS were starting to act like monkeys. Chanel was banging cymbals, Saatvika was eating fleas out of Commander Aubriella's hair, Vada gave space monkeys a shower, Carla got distracted by the diamonds off of a curtain, Danna and Harley swung on the cables, and Presley Beth and Julianna slipped on banana peels that they found in the garbage.

Everyone was creeped out by the strange behavior of the Mew Mews, but the hypnotized Ms. Benjamin was delighted because she clearly recognized her students in monkey form. She was so delighted by their monkeying around, \*she\* started acting like a monkey. After the guards stopped them from monkeying around, they could see Ms. Benjamin back to normal. "Thank you for saving me," Ms. Benjamin said. "And I see that Wesley gave you some disguise potion that makes you look like monkey-aliens. Don't worry, you should try transforming."

The Mew Mews wanted to stop their monkey business, so they decided to do what their teacher said.

*Mew Mew, Metamorphosis!*

After that, they could see that they didn't have monkey fur and banana cravings anymore. The guards were surprised by the Mew Mew appearances, so they released them and told the Mew Mews to stop Poach and his gang.

Using their Mew Mew abilities, they fought off as much as they could. Seeing that he was too strong, Mew Mew Honey realized something. "I think I know how we can stop Poach," she advised. "Fight fire with fire."

Knowing that she meant "fight pranks with pranks," they decided to do it. The only problem: where were they going to find the pranks? From behind, the shiny and stern Commander Aubriella gave them the stuff she confiscated from Hezekiah during his days. Poach was surprised by the fact that she kept that stuff the whole time. One by one, the Mew Mews pranked Poach and his gang. Mew Mews Chocolate and Dumpling did a pie in face to Arethra while holding hands, Mew Mews Vanilla and Sundae did a joy buzzer attack on Crossni, Mew Mew Honey and Cupcake, did a boxing glove spring load on Elthunt and destroyed his keytar, the Mini-Mews did a squirt flower attack on Poach, Fenfang and Dreamheart did an itching powder attack on Arethra, Mew Mews Peanut Butter and Jelly tossed a rubber spider on Crossni, and finally, Ms. Benjamin wrapped the villains up in present wrapping.

Everyone cheered for the Mew Mews bravery and as a reward, Commander Aubriella gave them GPS Medals of Honor.

The guards took Poach and his gang and arrested them for extreme pranking.

Although the Mew Mews were adored by the GPS, they had to get back to Earth for their own urgent meeting.

**XxoxX**

By the time they arrived back to the mall, everyone was at the Mew Mew Mighty Show shouting, "We Want Mew Mews! We Want Mew Mews!"

"When is Mew Mew Infinity going to show up?" asked one.

"We've been waiting for ten minutes!" shouted another.

Hearing this, the Mew Mews glared at Ms. Benjamin. After explaining to them about the whole understudy situation, the Mew Mews agreed to perform for the audience. Onstage, Mew Mew Dumpling used her Crested Umbrella as a guitar while they performed the Mew Mew theme song.

*I didn't count on this*

*For my very first kiss.*

In the audience, the rest of the Mew Mew team were in the audience rooting for them. Backstage, Fenfang, Dreamheart, and the Mini-Mews were handling special effects for them.

Over the past two hours, the audience became amazed by Mew Mews Chanel and Dumpling's partner dancing, Mew Mew Vanilla, Sundae, and Cupcake's circus act, and Mew Mews Honey, Peanut Butter, and Jelly's acrobats. By the end of the dance, everyone cheered.
