This is just something I thought up. What if Jun's parents visited while all the dolls were staying at his house? What would he and the dolls do? This takes place after Traumend, and, somehow (I'm not going to elaborate how), Shinku managed to bring Hina Ichigo and Sousei Seki back. I'm too lazy to add all the "na no"s, "kashira"s, and "desu"s. This is my first Rozen Maiden fanfic, so PLEASE review and tell me what you think. Enjoy!

"Jun, fetch me my tea," Shinku said without looking up from her book. Jun grit his teeth from frustration as he desperately tried to find the answer to the math problem.

"Go get it yourself!"

"GAH!" Suisei Seki screeched. "Chibi Ichigo, this is all your fault!!"

"What did I do?" Hina Ichigo asked with fake innocence, still drawing.

"You drew over my watering can again!" Suddenly, a brown box topped with a golden rose flew through the window into Jun's room. Out stepped Sousei Seki.

"Hina Ichigo," she started. "Did you draw on my scissors?"

"It's not me!" Hina Ichigo wailed.

"Chibi Ichigo!" Suisei Seki growled menacingly.

"Jun, get me my tea." Shinku ordered. Jun sighed in exasperation.

"This place is getting overrun by dolls," he muttered to himself as he got up to get the impatient doll her tea. Just that moment, Nori stepped into the room.

"NORIII!" Hina Ichigo yelled as she jumped into her arms.

"Jun-kun," Nori started. "Mom and Dad wanted to know if they could come." Jun's eyes widened in shock.

"What did you say?"

"I said they could come over to visit before continuing on with the business! They'll be here tomorrow!"

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" Jun yelled at his sister.

"I don't really see what the problem is…" Nori protested shyly.

"THIS PLACE IS OVERRUN WITH DOLLS! WHAT WILL MOM AND DAD THINK?!" Nori finally realized her mistake.

"Wh-what are we going to do with the dolls?"

"I'm going to take a walk. Give Shinku her tea." Jun walked out his room and out the door to his house into the outside world. How exactly was he going to hide the dolls from his parents? If he couldn't, could the dolls pretend to be inanimate for that long? Jun's thoughts were interrupted as he bumped into Tomoe.



"Sakurada-kun," she said in a soft voice.

"S-sorry," Jun replied shakily. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"Tomoe…" he started. Tomoe looked up. "Would you… would you mind taking care of the dolls for a while? See, my parents are visiting, and… well… they don't really know about the dolls, so…" Tomoe stared at the ground.

"Sakurada-kun… I'm leaving for vacation with my family in two days… we haven't exactly finished packing… I can take care of the dolls tomorrow, but that's it…"

"You know what, forget it." Seeing her somewhat defeated expression, Jun rephrased his last statement. "I'll take care of the dolls. You go pack. Have fun on your vacation." A small hint of a smile played across Tomoe's face as Jun walked away, pausing at the abandoned doll shop on his way home. I wonder… Jun thought. No. Absolutely not. There is no way I'm leaving Shinku, Hina Ichigo, or Suisei Seki with Enju or Laplace. Another possibility reached his mind: he could leave the dolls with Micchan and her doll... if only he could remember its name. Of course, there was the risk of Micchan wanting to keep Shinku, Hina Ichigo, and Suisei Seki for herself, but it was worth a try. He made his way to Micchan's house and rang the doorbell. No answer. "Open up," he shouted as he rang the doorbell a few more times. "It's me, Jun." The door finally opened as a green-haired doll less than half his size looked up at him.

"Are Shinku, Hina Ichigo, and Suisei Seki with you?" she asked automatically.

"Uh… no… actually, I wanted to know if Micchan was home… um… was it… Kanabutsu?" She hung her head.

"Micchan left for a business trip yesterday. And, say it with me, it's Kanaria. KA-NA-RI-A."

"What?! Uh… never mind… thanks… Do you think you could… well… not come over for the next few days?" Kanaria looked taken aback.

"What? Why?"

"See… well… my parents are visiting… and… well… they don't know my house is overrun by dolls, and… well…"

"Oh…" Kanaria looked rather upset.

"I'll inform you as soon as they leave so you can visit!" Kanaria was suddenly happy.

"Fried eggs too?" Jun sighed.

"Fried eggs too." Jun bid Kana goodbye as he walked back to his house in defeat. It seemed as if everyone had to leave when he needed them most. It was almost nightfall by the time he reached home.

"You're late, Jun," Shinku told him, who was now watching Detective Kun-Kun on the TV. Jun growled in frustration.



"Yay!" Hina Ichigo cheered as she jumped onto Jun. "Jun's home! Did you bring unyu?" Jun shook his head.

"Did the chibi human find someone who can take care of us while the chibi parents are here?" Suisei Seki asked. Jun glowered at her.

"I tried…"

"Why not leave them with Tomoe-chan?" Nori suggested.

"She's going on vacation with her parents in two days."

"Micchan?" Shinku asked.

"On a business trip. Kana's home alone." Out of the corner of his eye, Jun saw Sousei Seki sigh in defeat. "Wait… Sousei Seki… do you think your master could take care of everyone else?" Sousei Seki shook her head.

"We're getting Master's house painted… He specifically told me that no one could visit for the next few days…"

"Jun," Shinku bloke in. "Did you tell Kanaria not to visit while your parents are here?" Jun nodded.

"She didn't take it too well, though. Sousei Seki, don't visit for the next few days."

"I wasn't going to. I was going to help Master with the painting."

"Good. Thanks." Jun slumped upstairs.

"Jun-kun!" Nori called. "Do you want something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry…" Jun made his way to his room, dreading the tie when his parents would visit. Why, why did Nori have to invite them over? Well, the sooner they left, the better.
