The Mew Kid In Town
As a group of girls run past, Zoey is seen standing with Mark. She Stutters while asking him about seeing a Red Data Animal exhibit with him. To her surprise and joy, he accepts her invitation. Zoey celebrates with her friends, then the scene fades out to Zoey in bed mumbling. Suddenly, she bolts upright and grabs her alarm clock. She falls out of bed, and rushes to put her hair up, complaining that she fell asleep again after her alarm went off. After a few mishaps, she rushes out of the house.
She reaches their Train Stop, and apologizes for being late. They board the train to the exhibit. Ichigo is very nervous about the date and can't think of anything to talk about. As Zoey walks through the entrance gate, a computer screen is shown. Zoey reads about the Red Data Animals from the brochure, and Aoyama points out an interesting picture of Iriomote Wildcats. Zoey remarks that they're cute and that they're also endangered. She thinks to herself that everything will go fine as long as she and Aoyama are on this date.
A computer screen is shown with DNA codes on it. A man opens the door, and speaks to another man at the computer. He says that it's perfect as the other man looks over his shoulder.
Zoey and Mark get their pictures taken at a photo booth, then walks outside. For a second, Zoey thinks that Mark is going to kiss her, but then he says he wants to help save the environment. Zoey says she'll go get some juice, but trips over a root. Mark catches her, and she blushes. Mark walks off to buy the juice, and Zoey flops onto the ground. She rolls around a bit, then gets up as she notices a cute shop.
The computer screen is shown again, and the two men say that it's time for the Mew Project to commence. The winged cat statue on top of the shop glows red as one man presses a button. The ground shakes as Zoey notices the glowing statue, and is then enveloped in a bright light. In a strange place, Zoey sees an Iriomote Wildcat, which walks up to her, then jumps inside of her.
Zoey was sleeping, and suddenly sits up. She's embarrassed that she fell asleep, but Mark doesn't mind. He says that she was asleep for three hours. They then head home.
The next day, Zoey's friends, Moe and Miwa, are scolding Zoey for ruining her date. Zoey says she'll find Mark and talk to him. She talks to herself for a while as Moe and Miwa stare at her, then runs off to the gym to see Mark practice. She's a little late, because there's a rather large swarm of girls already there. While Moe scolds Zoey again, Zoey pulls out the photo sticker sheet from the date yesterday. Then, another girl bumps into Zoey and she drops the sheet, which goes flying off of the balcony they're standing on. She jumps for it, but accidentally falls off of the balcony. In mid-fall, she flips and lands on her feet. Not knowing how she did this, she runs off.
At lunch, Zoey wakes up from a nap, and says that it will rain later. As she's getting her food, she rather happily grabs a fish with her mouth. Embarrassed again, she runs off. She wonders why she's acting strange, and remembers the "dream" with the cat. Mark appears, and asks if she's okay from earlier today. Every time Zoey speaks, she says "Nya" (Means Meow)at the end of every sentence. She runs off yet again.
Zoey returns to the spot where she and Mark were at yesterday, and it starts to rain. She remembers the date, then suddenly gets a strange feeling. She starts running and happens to see Mark. While she's looking at him, a jellyfish-like blob floats through the forest and enters into a rat's body. The rat transforms into a giant rat-thing, and attacks Mark. Zoey runs towards him, and the rat almost attacks her, but she's saved by a young blonde-haired man. He tells her to defeat the rat-creature. The man pushes her off of the tree limb she was standing on, and Zoey lands on her feet again. He then tosses her a small glowing object. She realizes that the cat jumping into her wasn't a dream. She grabs the locket, and yells out "Mew Mew Strawberry! Metamorphosis!" and changes into a cat-girl version of herself. She wonders what happened to her as the monster attacks again. Mew Zoey, as she is called in this form, calls out her weapon, the Strawberry Bell, and uses it to shield herself from an attack. She flips out of the way, and scolds the monster for attacking Mark, and retaliates with her own attack, Ribbon Strawberry Check, changing the monster back into a normal rat.
Zoey wonders if Mark is okay, and the blonde-haired man says that she is the chosen one. Another man walks up to her and says that they're not her enemies, and that he'll take Mark home. He introduces himself as Keiichiro Akasaka, and kisses her hand. The other man, Elliot, says that they should go. Ichigo is left wondering what just happened, and who these people are.
