Ikuto: Yeah, yeah. What pairing is this again?
Amu: It better not be...
Random Amuto fans: A-mu-to! A-mu-to!
JeaSen-chan: Hai! Hai! It's Amuto!
Amu: Nooooo!!!
Ikuto: -snickers/smirks-
Amu: I see that smirk... What are you thinking?
JeaSen-chan: Umm...before we move on with the story...anyone...disclaimer.
Amu: I'll do anything if you cancel this fancition. She does not own anything except the plot. Enjoy!
JeaSen-chan: There's no way I'm giving up on this one!

Ikuto: Tsk, tsk. Such language for such a young girl.
(Ikuto's POV)
I'm in college now in America. Amu and Tadase are...freshman at highschool and just finished their first week...I think. I drummed my pen against the desk with nothing but the desk light hitting my paper. With my left hand, I was holding a clench. I looked at the paper millions of times I assure you, but I just couldn't think straight. It was an essay for English. It was: Do you remember your past well? If you could change anything at all, what would it be? There are so many things in life that I wish I could change. I picked up Utau's latest CD, 'Utau no Badafutei' I still remember all the moments of my happy and sad childhood. "Ahh! Don't touch there!" "Tsu-Tsukiyomi Ikuto!" "Yume no tsubomi hiraku..." "Nekomimi Hentai Cosplay Otoko!" "Ikuto onii-san!" "I-I did it unconciously." "I hate you...I hate you! I hate you!" "Holy Crown!" "Ikuto!" "Why do you tease me? Just leave me alone already." "Ikuto onii-san promised me he'd play with me today!" Moments I had spent with both Amu and Tadase flashed through my mind. Sometimes of Utau. I growled. There are way too many to name. I couldn't let anyone know of my cruel past. I don't want them to know. I barely saw Amu anymore and Easter was out of business, but still, I want a lot more. I want to be with Amu, Tadase, and Utau in high school...especially Amu. My heart is eating me up from the inside out. I've got to...got to...I've gotta find a way to be with her again. They are the most important people to me. I...I wish... Then, I had the urge to go out on my balcony and take a breather. Walking out into my balcony, Yoru followed me. I looked up at the endless sky. I saw the big dipper, the little dipper, Orion's belt, the Capricorn, and...a shooting star?! I closed my eyes and put my head down.
I wish I could be with them again...at least for one more year...
The star was gone when I reopened my eyes. Was I dreaming? No...I couldn't have, could I? I looked at my hands and clothes, but nothing had changed at all. I'm still wearing my blue pajamas with midnight blue cats on them. On the shirt was a picture of Yoru and me. Don't blame me. He did that. So, I went back to my desk, grabbed a pen, and wrote a single phrase, but a good one. Stuffing that into my desk, I dove onto my bed, pulling the covers over me and falling asleep. I could've sworn I saw something shimmering, but I ignored it. Probably the Dumpty Key again. It usually does that when I think of Amu. I just...

(Still Ikuto's POV)
I fluttered my eyes open. Where is this place? This isn't my dorm. I got up and looked at the sheets and the room and the furniture. Where is this place? I see my annoying chara again, Yoru. He was all over the room, floating merrily. My eyes followed him as he created circles enthusiastically as if he just saw a ball of yarn in the shape of fish. He stopped in front of me, facing me.
"I-ku-to!" I looked at him as he was smiling as brightly as ever. Wait...something's different about him. Did he change his hair? No. His clothes? No. His age? ... Ikuto was left speechless. Yoru looked just like how he used to when I was in 1st year high school. "Wake up or we'll be late to get to Seiyo High School nya~!" I was confused. Very...very confused.
"And exactly why would I go to Seiyo High School?" Yoru looked at me funny.
"Uhh...because that's our school? You know, Seiyo High School? The same place that you've skipped for the past week ~nya?" I thought for a moment and Yoru gasped. "You didn't lose your memory, did you, nya~?!"
"No."
"Oh, thank God nya~. Well, let's get going!" Yoru said, throwing a uniform at me. I've seen in before. It's the one that the Souma kid, Fujisaki kid, and Tadase wear.
"And I'll be wearing this why?"
"It's your uniform, nya~!"
"No it's not." I got up and got to my closet and opened it up. It revealed 5 sets of every school uniform that I've ever worn. My kindergarten uniform, my elementary school uniform, my Jr. High School uniform, and... 4 other sets of the one Yoru just handed me?! Where'd my black uniform go?! Where's my college uniform?!
"Ikuto, just hurry up so we can go. I'm sure Miki, Ran, and Suu are getting tired of waiting for me. Today, we're playing spin the bottle along with Kiseki, Daichi, Rizumu, Iru, Eru, Temari, Dia, Kusu Kusu, and Pepe." I sighed. I guess I'll just play along. I don't think I'll make it through this day though. This is so...awkward. Wait... I recalled my wish from the night before. I ran to my full view mirror. I was only 14 now?! What will I do? I can't drink anymore. I sighed once more, taking in the new...wait...scratch that. New...new old self...I guess. I now have the chlearly visible chicken pox marks. That's what happened to me when I was in 1st year high school. Suddenly, an annoying squawk pierced my ears. Actually, it was a fangirly squeal. I love Utau as a sister and all, but she's just too...well...you know what I mean.
"Ikuto! You're not dressed for school yet! Get dressed or no video games for a week!" Wait...did Utau just give me an order?!" And...is she taller than me? Am I the only one besides Yoru whose age has changed?! What's going on! Gah!
"Pfft. Fine. It's not easy being your onii-san."
"What are you talking about? I'm your nii-san." I was about to scream. Utau?! In change of Me?! This is my living hell.
"Just hurry up." Utau said. I noticed she was in the girl's uniform for high school. So, I did as I was told. I took a shower, ate my breakfast, brushed my teeth, and got to school. Wait...if I'm the only one whose age has changed... and I'm in freshman year at Seiyo...aw for the love of God...SPARE ME!
