Hikari looked around. She knew she had to help, but how? Acting fast, she ran into the kitchen, which was just around the corner, and grabbed a stool.
Swinging it high over her head, she brought it down upon the monster's back.
"HYAAAAAHHHH!!!!!"
Hikari's facial expression went like this: O_O' as she sweatdropped. The stool broke right in half, but apparently had an effect on the monster. It turned around and clawed at her uniform, tearing the golden sash. Hikari fell back into a corner. She was cornered. The monster came even closer, going to finish her off.
"Kyaaaa!!!!" she screamed.
No! NO! This is it! I'm going to die!
Then, Hikari had a sudden feeling. It was like the one that had drawn her to Tsuki's house, but stronger. Words began to come out of her mouth without control.
"Mew Mew Melon Metamorphose!" she called out.
Hikari's body was engulfed in a strange orange light. Her hair flew out behind her. She wrapped her arms around her body, curled up her feet, and then uncoiled, revealing her new clothes. An orange sleeveless dress with a puffy skirt had appeared on her body. In a poof, black fringe appeared around the top edge of the dress. Arm bands of the matching color and fringe appeared on her arms, and a garter in the same design. Bright orange boots coming up to her ankle materialized, and as they did, her little cat-tail aquired a bowtie. Orange ribbons sprouted from the top of her head, and a necklace with a charm sprouted on her neck. She ended her spinning transformation in a heroic pose; her hands on her hips.
"Whaaaaaaatttt?!" she cried as she looked down at her new outfit.
