Shu-chan: I changed the whole story so far slightly.

Amu: (Happily) Now your story is a little more original!

Shu-chan: Yep. (Utau walks in) Hi Utau-chan!

Utau: Hi. (Spots Amu) Amu! What are you doing here?

Amu: Hi Utau! I'm just- (Alarm clock rings)

Shu-chan: I'm off on lunch break. I'll leave you to do the disclaimer then! (Runs off)

Utau + Amu: … You do it.

Utau: I'm not doing it.

Amu: Well, I'm not going to say that ShugoChara16 doesn't own Shugo Chara either.

Utau + Amu: … (Miki flies in)

Miki: Amu-chan… you just did.

Note: Ari is not Amu. Ari is my OC that I am using, OK? And each odd chapter (i.e: chapter 1, 3, 5, etc) will be written in the normal POV. Each even chapter (i.e: chapter 2, 4, 6, etc) will be written in Ari's POV. Thank you! By the way... did you know I have another OC?! Kami Tomoko? She might appear in a chapter!

Chapter 1: Birth of Guardian Spirit!

Suzuyomi Ari stumbled down the road, her brown shoulder bag thumping against her legs. It was her first day as a transfer student at Paradise Private High school, and already Ari was dreading the moment when she would be introduced to the rest of her class.

Paradise High looked pleasant enough, with white washed walls that sported gleaming, shiny windows that were laced with expensive looking curtains. Surrounding the various blocks that was the school was grassy grounds with the ordinary cement and stone ground, with the odd circle of red brick in a ring to decorate the grey floor. Inside the school there were vast flights of stairs that lead to various parts of the school Ari couldn't quite think about.

As Ari tripped past the high gates, the noisy babble of talk began to hush. Ari could feel the eyes of all the students on the grounds staring at her. Suddenly, talk broke out.

'Look at her! Is she that scholarship student Suzuyomi Ari?'

'A commoner? In our school? How unusual!'

'Is that NEXT clothes? I dressed better on my first day!'

'All hail poverty!' Mocked a male voice Ari couldn't recognise (obviously).

Think, Ari, think! Say something! Words screamed inside her head…

'Exactly, darling. These ARE Next clothes. If you have such a problem with my clothes, why don't you spend some time looking at your own wardrobe? Just a little suggestion…' Even as the words came out of her mouth, Ari's heart dropped into her high-heeled stiletto boots. Fabulous. She had just blown up her only hope of starting fresh in a new school. With a sinking feeling, she waited for everyone's reaction.

'Oh. My. God. SHE'S SO COOL!!' A muffle voice from the front burst out and everyone began to croon.

'Aww… I want to be like her! Look at me, Suzuyomi-san! ' An overexcited girl with plaited brunette hair and glasses almost passed out as Ari sashayed past her, throwing the girl a cold stare as Ari passed.

Up high above, on a rooftop, someone stirred.

'As I thought… the scent of spirit eggs is here…' A footstep. Another voice.

'Sugaring up to our Lord then, Hinamori-kun?' A little laugh. 'Nothing will make up my parents' death and your betrayal.' A sigh.

'I did not kill your parents. Nor did I betray them. She killed them. She was too deep into Shadow long before you found out.' A snort.

'Lies. Every one of them. I will avenge our parents' death and kill you one day.' More footsteps fading away.

'Tsukino-kun. Try me.'

'Why is it always ME?' Ari groaned as she sat hunched up facing a mirror on the make up desks. It was true; it so happened every single time Ari became confused or nervous. She had been described as a 'cool and spicy' girl at her old school because of her cold but admirable comments and actions. Not knowing what to say was mistaken for being cool. Not knowing how to act was mistaken for being rebellious. Ari reached up and touched her glass and plastic trademark winged hairclip stuck on the side of her head. It was probably the way she dressed too. Ari once had an extremely artistic friend who liked to draw clothes. She had often made Ari wear gothic punk clothes. It eventually became habit and Ari was always seen from that time to be wearing gothic fashion.

'… but maybe one day… I can change…' Ari said aloud to herself. Then she said those four words that changed her life forever: 'Give me the power…'

It was time for P.E, and Ari could still hear the words she'd said in the toilets… 'Give me the power…' somehow, when she'd said that, it seemed something was going to happen… Ari scolded herself and snapped back to attention. Feeling moody and depressed, she realised that the lesson consisted of something she hated – hurdle races. To be honest, it wasn't that she was incredibly slow; she could run as well as the average twelve year old in her class. However, it was the actual jumping and hurdling that she performed terribly at. The day was going from bad to worse…

'GO!!' Ari's stomach lurched as the starting whistled shrieked and the first student from each team sped off, glittery relay sticks clutched in their hands. Around her, Ari could hear her classmates anticipating her turn to run.

'Suzuyomi's going to be a challenge!' Remarked one, with his friends all nodding in agreement.

'I can't believe it…' Gushed a bright eyed, blonde haired girl, 'I actually have SUZUYOMI–SAN as my team mate!'

'SUZUYOMI–SAN! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! GO!!' A really girly voice woke Ari from her worried trance.

'Whatever.' Ari snatched the relay stick from the girl's hand, her insides raging furiously.

'Ari–chan! You can do it – Spirit…' What? Who was THAT?!

'…CHANGE!' Pop! The trademark winged clip changed into a butterfly.

'Kyaa! Here I come!!' Ari dashed past the other team, over all the hurdles perfectly and straight back, much to her team's great shock and delight. Shing! The butterfly clip turned back into a wing. '…'

At home, Ari stared at the shining gold badge that had been presented to her for breaking the school records. It glittered in the dying light as she held it up. There was only one little problem.

'That skill wasn't mine. Someone MADE me do that… what was that strength?'

'Maybe I can answer that!' A cheery voice cut through the air. Three beautifully patterned eggs hovered in front of her… Ari stretched out a hand to take them, and they landed neatly in her hands, except for a pretty silver and pink egg with a butterfly symbol. It slowly began to split and crack in the middle, and out popped a little pink cheerleader with butterfly wings and pink pom poms decorated with dark pink butterflies. She had pink hair tied up in a high side ponytail with a huge butterfly clip, similar to the one Ari had when that weird voice did a 'free spirit change' or whatever. Around the mini pink cheerleader 's neck was a pink neckerchief with a big butterfly on. On her feet were spotless boots, with pale rose trimmings. On the front of the boots was a pink butterfly, followed by two crosses below the butterfly and finishing with a satin pink bow at the bottom. It was truly a pink wonderland…

'Hey there! Kira here! Your first, very own free spirit!' She shook her pom poms around and danced in the air. 'Spirits are born from your wishes and dreams. Most people have a sleeping spirit, the ordinary egg of your heart you hold in your soul. However… once in a while, someone will unlock the sleeping spirit inside them, thus producing a free spirit like me! I am here to help you become part of your would be person. The other parts of your would be self will be revealed when those eggs hatch.' Kira nodded at the other two eggs, one of which was patterned with a music note and the other an ice cream. Ari nodded, rather interested.

'So what I experienced earlier was a spirit…'

'Yeah! A spirit change!' Ari suddenly realised something.

'So you'll be here until I become my would be self…?' Kira nodded. I gulped.

'NOOOO!!'

So… my life took a turn for the strange… but what will be in store for me now?

Ikuto: That lazy kid ShugoChara16 disappeared again, so I'll make Amu say this.

Amu: No way.

Utau: I'll do it for you, Ikuto! Please review! (Chases Ikuto)

Ikuto: …
