Aquatwin: So much inspiratation from so many songs!

Rima: She's starting to worry me...

Kusukusu: fufufufufu...

Aquatwin: But I shall say that the lyrics won't be in italics, they'll be sort of "hidden" and you really have to look at the song ot get how it fits. But it does go along with the lyrics!

Nagi: I'm actually looking forward to these...

Rythem: As long as I get to chara change with nagi! *thumbs up and winks*

Nagi: *now looks scared* Umm... I'd rather he didn-

Aquatwin: sorry nagi, but the fans demand it.

Nagi: B-but-

Rima: Yeah, na-gih-iko, listen to the fans.

Aquatwin: I don't think you should be agreeing rima *evil grin*

Rima: what, wh-

Crystal: Shugo chara cast belongs to peach pitt.

Rima: Hey, I was-

Rythem: "Just the girl" belongs to Click 5! *winks and gives thumbs up*

Rima: don't I-

Kusukusu: HAVE FUN READING! *giggles*


Nagi PoV

Seiyo elementary was holding a "school reunion." Honestly, it's just elementary school and we're just in middle school. But Tsukusa insisted on it happening, so the guardians (yes, we were in middle school, but it turns out Tsukusa had been offered to become the headmaster for the middle school as well so now the guardians are for both schools now. Kind of pointless without easter, but oh well) put together a pool party.

Hopefully, Rhythem would not make me act like a complete idiot like he's been doing a lot lately.

Ok, let me explain. Recently, I let it slip to my shugo chara's that I like rima. Don't freak out, for dance's sakes, I hadn't intended falling for her. But, back to the story. Telling them was dumbest move I ever made. Temari, she can't do a thing, hallelujah, but Rhythem...damn it Rhythem! Everytime he can get the chance, he chara changes with me around Rima. Rima notices that it's not my doing, but still...

She's cold and she's cruel...

And when I chara change, after I've embarrassed myself enough (not enough to out and blurt the fact I like her to her, I always managed to refrain rythem from making me do so), she would find a way to embarrass me even more. She acts like it's a spur of the moment...

But she knows what she's doing.

So here I was, sipping my soda at the edge of the pool. No, I was not shirtless and swimming. I really was in no mood to do so. I was one of the people who prefered to just sit and listen to the music. All the guardians were maintaining what was going on. I thought I was in the clear from having to face Rima since we all had our jobs to do.

Man was I dead wrong. Dead wrong.

I felt a pair of small hands on my back and in a split second, I was in the water. Frantically swimming to the surface, I spluttered and gasped, trying to regain my cool (and failing). My hair was covering my eyes, so I couldn't see whom had pushed me. But I recognized the laughter that followed.

I flicked the hair out of my eyes and glared up at the blonde midget. She was rolling on the ground, laughing her little porcelain-doll-like head off.

"Smooth moves, purple head. Don't those dreams of yours deal with being graceful and junk?" She said in between her fit of laughter. As soon as she said that, I heard the familar ping.

Oh just kill me now!

"Those aren't my dreams, Rima-koi." I flirted. HEY! It was not me! It was Rhythem! She stopped for moment and sent me a death glare of her own. But we both knew I was chara changed. I was so relieved no one else was taking notice to this.

She smirked. "Oh really, Nagihiko? Then tell me, what are they?" She said in a taunting voice. She had no idea how furiously I was trying to stop myself from saying what I knew Rhythem would make me say next. I was going to kill that chara when this was through...

"Your laughter." I cooed. She quirked a brow at me. I thought there was a gently blush on her face. No, no, that was just what I wanted to believe. Furiously shaking my head, there was another ping as the headphones around my neck disappeared. I jumped out of the pool in a hurry and scanned the area for my idiot chara. I saw Rhythem floating near the doorway, looking like he was trying to sneak away. Growling, I muttered darkly "Rhythem." He stopped cold in his tracks. Rigid and trembling, he nervously turned around and wore a nervous smile.

"Y-yeah d-dude?" He stuttered. I put on a fake and menacing smile at the same time.

Grabbing him by his little body, I glared at him with the creepy smile of mine. "You. Are. So. dead." I told him. He widened his eyes and tried to call out for help.

"YO! CHARA'S HELP! NAGI'S GONE HOMICIDAL!" he bellowed. I did nothing but glare.

Then I heard that melodic sound again.

It was Rima laughing. Laughing like a maniac.

Slowly, I turned my head to her and she had tears from laughing so hard. She gasped in between her laughter and spoke. "Geez...hahaha...purple-head...hahahaha...you...hahahahahahahah!" She couldn't finish her sentence and just fell over laughing.

I felt a smile place itself on my lips.

Laughing at my pain. Strange as it seems...

She's the one I'm after.

Giggleing, her chara Kusukusu popped out of Rima's pocket and floated over to me.

"Nagi-kun?" She was clearly trying to hold in her laughter. "You should probably let go of Rhythem now." The clown chara couldn't take it anymore and fell over laughing. I glanced over to Rhythem and he had a vain bulging at the edge of his head now in aggravation. I did nothing but chuckle and let go of him. He 'hurumphed' and turned his back to me, crossing his arms.

He mumbled. "It's not funny."

"RIMA!" I turned my head in the direction of the yelling. It was Amu at the DJ stand. "Come help me pick out a song!" She yelled over to us. Glancing at Rima, she wiped her eyes and stood up.

"Coming Amu!" She hollered back, running as fast as her feet could take her to the DJ stand. Her chara didn't follow in pursuit.

The orange haired chibi hovered back to my side. She whispered. "Arigatou Nagi, she hasn't laughed like that in a while."

I smiled back at the chara. Rhythem popped up and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, obviously recovered from his embarrassment.

"Hey Kusukusu." He flirted. I rolled my eyes. Why was I stuck with a flirty chara again?

"Hi Rhythem!" She cheered, clueless as ever. Rhythem whispered something to her, and she nodded enthusiastically. My curiousity clicked at that. She waved bye to both of us and flew off in a hurry to Rima.

I shot a glare to Rhythem. "What did you just do?" I seethed, knowing it wasn't good news. He smiled evilly.

"Oh nothing." He whistled. Noticing my hand rushing to grab him, he flew around, making me grab at air. I just know someone was looking at me like I was crazy. To them, I was just trying to grab a figment of my imagination. Who cares, I was mad at the little-

She's cold and she's cruel But she knows what she's doing

I paused and turned my head to the DJ stand. Kusukusu was holding an album and Rima was lecturing her about something. Why was an english song playing? I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here who would even understand it.

She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion.

Rima paused and turned her head to the side, glancing my way. Immediatly, I looked away and blushed. Crap, she must know english, too. Why, of all songs, this one!

She laughs at my dreams but I dream about her laughter.

I clenched my fists. It...it . Oh now I really will kill Rhythem!

Strange as it seems She's the one I'm after

My eyes unconciously glanced back to where our "DJ" was stationed. Rima was currently looking at Kusukusu with confusion written all over her face. The clown chara did nothing but giggle.

I couldn't take listening to the American song any longer. Tadase was passing by. I hollered over ot him.

"Hotori-kun, I'm not feeling well, I think I'm going to head home." Before Rhythem embarrasses me any further. I added in my head. He nodded and I took that as my cue to leave. I dragged Rhythem by his little shirt collar and we were out of the party.


"Geez Nagi, I'm just trying to help you out!" Rhythem protested for the millionth time since we arrived at my hous -er or rather- mansion. I swatted at him once again.

"And I told you, theres no way I'm going to tell Rima I like her!" I growled at him. Temari popped up next to Rhythem.

"But Nade, she's just the girl for you!" She spoke in her high pitch tone. My fist clenched at a pillow at my side, and I thunked it over my head.

"shut up." I muttered. It came out muffled through the pillow. They both chortled. Ugh!

My phone buzzed in my pocket. Reaching in, I flipped it open and pressed it to my ear.

"Moshi Moshi, Fujisaki Nagihiko speaking." I attempted not to grumble into the phone (that was a failed attempt.)

"Moshi Moshi, Fujisaki-san. Are you alright?" Tadase asked. Sighing, I sat up.

"Yeah, just lecturing Rhythem." I shot a glare his way and Rhythem dashed to hide behind temari. She did nothing but giggle behind her sleeve.

"Not to be nosy," He spoke, being the polite 'king' he is. "But would this have to deal with him chara changing with you so often this week?" I flinched. He noticed?

"Something like that." I stated, hesitantly, might I add.

"Ah, I see." He said. "Well, that aside, we're holding the guardian meeting at the shopping center tomorrow to pick up some needed supplies. Mashiro-san's parents can't take her and won't let her walk there without an escort and I was wondering if you could do that."

I clenched the sheets of me bed in a tight fist. No no no! If I did that, I'd be alone with Rima, and I'll have to take rythem in case of an X-egg attack...

Struggling to not let my voice raise a few octaves to 'Nadeshiko mode', I spit out "Can anyone else do it?"

"No, Yuiki-san lives too far away, Hinamori-san's parents will have to drop off Ami at a music recital and then head straight to a charity event after they drop them off, not enough time to pick her up, and I would have to go some place early and won't have enough time to pick up mashiro-san either."

I sighed, defeated. "Hai, I'll do it since she's on my route there." It was a major effort to give a straight answer, afraid my tone would give away something. Great, I'll be all alone with Rima-chan (note the obvious sarcasm).

"Arigato Fujisaki-san. Good-bye." The other end clicked signaling the end of the call.

I looked at my phone and sighed. My eyes darted up to my charas who were both grinning evillly.

Seething, I threatened. "Don't you even think of doing anything tomorrow, Rhythem." He quirked a brow.

"Sure sure, dude." Rhythem said dismissively, absolutly not meaning it.

This will NOT be fun.


Aquatwin: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...END SCENE. *just for dramatic effect*

Nagi: -_- I really am not liking this story.

Aquatwin: Sorry Nagi, but I love to torcher characters *shrugs*

Rima: *snickers* I'm liking rythem right now for embarrasing you.

Aquatwin: Not yet rima, at one point both of ya'll will be embarrassed thanks to Rythem.

Rima: What do you me-

Aquatwin: For those of you who like this, here is a preview for next chappy!

"Actually, I do like someone." I spoke, involuntarily. She stopped walking and looked up at me, smirking. But her eyes seemed dissappointed. I was fighting in my head for the chara change to end. I need to shut up!

She opened her mouth to say something, but shook her head. Instead, she reached up with her little hands and flicked my forehead.

Aquatwin: SO THERE YA'LL ARE! KEEP READING!

Crystal: Aquatwin will update once she gets at least two reviews! Keep on readin' and shippin'! *wink*
