Cherry, this wasn't quite the birthday fic I wanted to give you, but alas, maybe I'll learn to give awesomer presents in the future. ♥

Title: Reunion
Fandom: Tokyo Mew Mew
Universe: America Mew Mew
Relationships: Mimi Belmont / Miles Alesci ; Roy Bancroft / Sora Takaishi ; Primrose Wallace / Briar; Sorrel Hidalgo / Panforte; Celsia Archer / Chive; past Ryou/Retasu
Summary: Eight years after AMM, Mimi reflects on how her life has changed, and how much her powers have meant to her.
Notes: I don't know why, but I felt like revisiting this world and allowing y'all to glimpse their future. There have been some retcons, primarily with the characters' cultures: Sorrel is now Hispanic/Latina [and her last name has changed accordingly to 'Hidalgo']; Primrose is black. Considering the story didn't focus on their ethnicities, it changes nothing in the story proper.

( Eight years ago, the Mew Mews had saved the world. )

Again, another filler episode. ♥ One more to go before I'm actually, truly finished with this series. I'm sorta-kinda excited, because it means I'll go back to work on Symphony's Chosen and The Great Purge (both are working titles, but hey. Original fiction is always good!)

Title: Episode Thirteen: Awkward First Date
Fandom: Tokyo Mew Mew [but so very, very AU]
Summary: The only person Ryou's fooling with his secret romance is himself.
Claimer: Unless stated otherwise, most of the characters and ideas in this story belong to me. Ryou Shirogane and Retasu Midorikawa are exceptions.

( Today would finally be the day. )

And now for something completely different! I assure you I'm still working on 38, but the muse for the scene's hard to write even though I know exactly what's going to happen. So instead? I offer you the Panforte introduction episode I promised a very long time ago. ♥ There's some more filler scenes that'll come between Episodes Twelve and Fifteen, but they aren't very important to the story, so... they'll come later?

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it. o/

Title: Episode Twelve: The Scholar Panforte Appears! Sorrel Accepts Us
Fandom: Tokyo Mew Mew [but so very AU]
Summary: Panforte finally makes his first appearance at the same time Sorrel finally learns to accept being part of the mew mews. Coincidence? We think not.
Claimer: Mimi, Celsia, Primrose, Sorrel, Laine, Maddie, Panforte, Chive, Shawn, and Roy are all my characters. Ryou, Retasu, Masha, and Keiichiro, as well as the original idea of Tokyo Mew Mew, belong to Reiko Yoshida and Mia Ikumi. I'm just borrowing their ideas for a fanfic, okay?

( Beaumont Flower Shoppe was quiet. )

So we're finally in the final inning. I must say, it's exciting to be here, and I'm sorry to leave you guys at such a sucky cliffhanger, but this chapter is already twice the length of normal chapters. XD I promise the ending'll be happy, because of course this is based off TMM (but with a little bit more swearing and maybe a little PG-13 in the Sorrel and Garner romance department?)

Title: Episode Thirty Six: The Final Battles Begin! Who's Deep Evil?
Fandom: TMM [but so very, very AU]
Summary: Ryou, Roy, Mimi, Shuu, and Nel go out to find Miles... but with mixed results. Mimi discovers the aliens' leader's been attacking, and hmm? Sorrel finally finds out the truth about Garner? This is one busy episode, folks.
Claimer: ... too lazy to put one down. If you've reached this point, you should know who belongs to who.

( Even after two hours, it was still raining. )

Almost there. ♥ I don't know what else to say about this chapter other than I don't have very many left before the climax. (I also know I've been focusing too much on Sorrel/Panforte, so I'm trying to get the other relationships out there. ._. I'm sorry, guys. I apparently really, really like that couple.)

Title: Episode Thirty Four: Creating Bonds
Fandom: Tokyo Mew Mew [but very, very AU]
Summary: Chive and Celsia bond while Retasu finishes packing. Oh, and Mimi decides that Sorrel's so gloomy she needs a girls' night out!
Claimer: Chive, Panforte, Briar, Celsia, Roy, Rune, Shuugo, Laine, Mimi, Sorrel, and Amy belong to me. The plot from this point on belongs to me. ._. Ryou, Retasu, and the original story, however? They are property of Mia Ikumi.

( So much for sparring with Panforte. )

I swear, I'm not fond of cliffhanger endings! But to be honest... I don't like giving you guys uber-long chapters either. ^^; That's why I tried to end this as quickly/smoothly as I possibly could while keeping the plot together. (That being said, all the loose ends are being tied together, so please let me know if you still have any unanswered questions.)

Title: Episode 32: Miles Goes Berserk? The Real Garner's Back
Fandom: Tokyo Mew Mew [but so AU it's pretty much a fanseries]
Summary: The title says it all this time, to be honest. o/ Mimi learns what it means to be a mew mew while Sorrel struggles with her feelings for Garner.
Disclamer: If you don't recognize it, it isn't mine. I'm not trying to make money off this... yada yada. Just enjoy! ♥
NB: The jelly-like things from this point on will be called "parasites" for a lack of a better term.

( She was so worried about her boyfriend. )

We are forming more relationships! And the plot is moving even more slowly than I expected. =/ But oh well. This story will have to end some day. >_< We're getting closer and closer. I can feel it!

Title: Episode Thirty: Perfect Saturday Morning Redux
Fandom: TMM [but very AU]
Summary: So what was Chive up to while the others were fighting? And it looks like Mimi and Miles are bonding even more than before.
Claimer: You know the drill. If you recognize it, it isn't mine. Okay?

( Poor Chive. He can never seem to get a break. )

Now we're finally getting to the bottom of things! \o/ I'd like to say that we might wrap this up by 30, but sadly... this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. But I really, really think I'm getting close to the end (even if I'm being sorta-kinda wordy about it) and would love feedback on these two chapters.

Let's hope for the best, okay? And please, please comment here if you have anything to say about this chapter. I'm going out of town, so IM is not an option when telling me these things, okay? D:

Title: Episode Twenty Eight: Intertwined? Connections Forged and Strengthened
Fandom: ... let's just call this OC fic
Summary: Ryou can't really walk, Retasu's learning to make hamburgers, Sorrel and Garner share a heart-warming moment, and Briar and Chive are up to no good! What else is new in AMM?
Claimer: Actually, Retasu, Ryou, and details concerning Liz aren't exactly mine. However, everything else is!

( Ryou sure missed his freedom. )

Aaah, the plot thickens here~ Not much to comment on here, either, except that the threads are starting to unravel. >o< And yes, we finally do get to discover more about Luciano Alesci and how he knows Jishou Shirogane.

Title: Episode Twenty Six: Family Bonding Gone Horribly Wrong
Fandom: TMM [but so AU it's become OC fic]
Summary: All Miles wanted was to spend time with his father. He didn't expect any of this to happen!
Claimer: If you recognize a character from the original TMM, then it's not mine. But this time around, pretty much all new concepts are mine (as well as most characters). Please don't "borrow" these kids without permission. :|
Rating: PG-13 [for mentions of language stronger than "crap".]

( He couldn't believe he was with his father in Queens. )

Took me long enough, but here it is! ♥ I admit, this is a little different than what I'm used to writing, but I'm trying? And um, I don't really know anymore if it'll stop at 30. I have a feeling that at the rate I'm going, it might take a couple more. No one's as sorry as I am ('cause I really want to move on to other stories!), but hey. We'll be on this journey a little while longer.

Title: Episode Twenty-Four: The Truth's Aftermath. A Difficult Battle?
Fandom: TMM [but so AU that it's probably transgressed into original fic at this point]
Summary: It seems like Roy and Ryou are fighting for their lives while Miles and the others discuss what it means to not be human...
Disclaimer: If you recognize it from the original series, it's not mine. Otherwise, I'm fairly sure everything in here's my creation.

( How long had they been fighting? )
