Neko-chan: Hello peoples! This is my first Fanfic, so please don't be to harsh!

Ikuto: Even though you've only tried writing this story 50 times...


Neko-chan: Shut up! *pouts* My latest one was doing great until I found out that Peach Pit was going to do the exact freakin idea.

Amu: How did you make a story that ended up being in the anime before you could finish it?!

Neko-chan: Easy! You become overly obsessed, sleep, and dream vividly.

Everyone: ~sweatdrop~

Neko-chan: *sighs* Ah screw it. On with the story.

Amu: Neko-chan does not own Shugo Chara!

Chapter 1

Shopping

~Amu's POV~

"Hey!" I heard Rima call from behind. We had just got out of a guardian meeting discussing the upcoming school dance, and our charas had stayed behind to talk about the embryo. I stopped and turned around to face her. "huh?"

"Want to go shopping with me? We could get a good outfit for the dance!" She persuaded.

"Sure!" I agreed. It would also give me some time to think about who I was going to go with.

(later)

I picked out a long, red dress from a rack. It was frilly at the bottom, and was slanted to where the right side was longer than the left. As I pictured Rima in it, my face lit up. "Rima!" I called. She came running over. "Try on this one!" I said while handing her the dress. She gasped when she saw it.

"Go!" I said impatiently as I pushed her into the changing room. After a few moments Rima stepped out with tinted-red cheeks. "Are you sure about this?" She said nervously as she looked down at the red gown.

"It's perfect!" I said cheerfully, and it really was. It was perfect for her. I wonder if I can find a dress that good for me?

We went back to searching, this time for something for me to where. The thought of going to a school dance excited me. That reminds me... I thought, Who should I go with?

I could go with Tadase... but what if he already has someone he's going with?! But, he doesn't have anyone else he would want to go with... right? It's obvious that Rima will be going with Nagehiko, and Yaya will probably force Kukai to come... That just leaves me and him...

I could feel myself growing redder and redder until Rima startled me by tapping on my shoulder, interrupting my thoughts.

"Do you like this one?" She asked, implying the black and blue dress in her hands. The dress was a dark ivory blue with small 1cm black strands to hold itself up. It had a couple black designs laced around the chest, and a simaler pattern at the top. 5 black bows were laid on the front in a verticle line down the center. At the waist, the dress expands out in an explosion of fringe and fluff, following a similar pattern as the top. (A/N Sorry if I don't explain it well enough. I have drawn a picture of Rima's dress on paint, but it kinda sucks, and for Amu's dress, just imagine the picture of her on the back of the second manga)

It was gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

"Well?" Only then did I realize that I had forgotten to respond. "It's perfect!" I breathed. Rima smiled.

"Now it's your turn to try it on!" She said as she pushed the dress into my hands and turned me towards the dressing rooms.

When I was done dressing, I stepped out and saw Rima's jaw drop. "Is it that amazing?" I asked, stunned. It must be if it can get Rima to be amazed.

Rima's surprise eventually faded and was replaced with a smile. "Tadase will love it." This time it was my jaw that dropped, but only for a second. I turned away and crossed my arms, putting on my 'cool and spicy' act once again.

"W-what are you talking about? I wasn't interested in him. Besides, I don't know who I am going with yet." Rima just giggled lightly, and before I knew it I was laughing as well.

When we had finally stopped laughing, I went back into the changing room and returned to the original clothes I had walked in. Rima and I walked up to the counter to pay for the clothing.

"That would be 6203¥" (About $67.55)The lady told Rima. Rima reached into a small brown purse and pulled out the money needed to pay for it. "Thank you!" The woman smiled.

Then I rang up my dress. "That would be 10249¥" (About $113.58) I felt my face drop. That much? I didn't think it would cost more than Rima's at all! Much less by such a big amount! "Um, ma'm?" The woman broke through my thoughts.

"I don't have that much money..." I said as my mood began to fall.

"I do." The angelic voice seemed to ring in my ears. I turned around to see a tall boy with sapphire eyes and midnight blue hair wearing jeans and a blue-gray jacket and white T-shirt.

"I-I-Ikuto?!?!" I screeched. How does he always find me?!He came up and walked past me, up to the counter and laid down 10300¥. The woman was stood there confused for a bit until she finaly regained her senses and took the money and gave him the change. "Well then, here you go!" She said, handing the dress to him.

He smiled politely and said his thanks, and then motioned for me to follow him outside. I took a small step towards him, but then turned around to see if Rima was going to follow. I sweat-dropped when I saw her yelling at a comedian on the television screen hanging from the wall. With a sigh, I turned back around and walked outside.

"So, are you going to give the dress to me?" I asked, knowing I sounded kind of annoyed.... because I was.

"Maybe," He said with a wide grin on his face. "If you promise to let me go to the dance with you."

"WHAT?!" I screamed. "How do you know about the dance?"

He reached in his jeans pocket and pulled out a folded flier of the school dance. "So?" He questioned my answer.

"No! Who would want to go with a pervert like you?!" I yelled. He dropped his smirk and grunted slightly. Then he turned around and started walking away, taking the only dress I had found for me with him.

"Wait!" I ran up and grabbed his arm. In a second he had turned around and pulled my face an inch away from his as he gazed into my eyes with a smirk on his face.

"So I am taking this as a yes?" He said in an amused voice. I blushed and turned my head to the side to avoid the gaze that could so easily put me into a trance. "What ever. It's the only way to get the dress for free." The 'cool and spicy' act came in as a sheild for my embarrassment.

He chuckled lightly and let my face go. "See you then, Amu" When I turned my head back to face him he was gone.

"Amu!!!" Came Rima's call as she ran up to me holding her new dress. "What happened to your dress? And where did Ikuto go?"

I sighed shaking my head.

Why do these things always happen to me?
