It was just another day for Amu, just a depression -filled day. Amu sat there thinking about when Ikuto left her and decided that it was best to forget him as soon as possible. All that boy ever caused was pain, she thought to herself. But, she knew that was a lie; he also made Amu feel alive and special. If she was ever going to forget him, she'd have to stop coming to the abandoned Amusement Park where she'd first discovered she was in love with him. She thought that he had loved her too, but obviously he hadn't - he left her behind. She still didn't understand why he hadn't said goodbye to anyone, except her. Why Ikuto, why did you have leave me? Amu thought, why did you leave, didn't you know I was madly in love with you? Oh well, you can get on with your life, continue with your studies and just be a regular 19 year old, party with your friends and just be normal. Yeah right, Amu thought wryly, she could never forget him, she loved him with all her heart and she couldn't continue living.

All of a sudden Ran came out and scolded her for feeling so bad for herself, "Amu, you need to stop feeling bad for yourself and live your life, like a regular person!" Amu knew this was true she'd just told herself the same exact thing.

"Yeah ~desu" said Su.

Miki indifferently said, "Get up, and let's get out of this amusement park."

Amu sighed, she knew all of her charas were right. Amu slowly got up, left, and made some tea when she got back to her dorm.

Her charas danced around her chatting about ridiculous things, like how adorable that puppy was that they passed. Amu tried to tune them out and thought about the essay that was due in chemistry tomorrow. After Amu had some calming tea, she started her essay even so before she knew it she was thinking about him. Amu snapped herself out of it and decided that it was time for a break.

She thought that her charas were asleep or had gone off somewhere, so she was startled when Miki suddenly started talking to her, "Amu, there's no need to dwell on him because he left you. Yoru left, and you don't see me... I mean, he's just a stupid boy." Miki blushed and became silent after that, so Amu saw it as her opportunity to start talking.

"Yes Miki, but that's just it. To me he's not just some stupid boy; he's basically the love of my life. Unlike you with Yoru, we actually got somewhere and I'm not afraid to admit it."

"Okay, I'm going to bed now," Miki said sadly.

"Wait Miki, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry!"

"Me too," Miki stated quietly.

Ugh, Amu get it together! What were you thinking? You KNOW that Miki is the most sensitive of all your charas. Oh well, I'll just have to make it up to her tomorrow. Amu went back to writing her essay, feeling worse than before. Just then, Amu decided to fake that she was sick tomorrow and finish the essay during the day. She went to bed and in the morning she was in a crabby mood.

Screw the essay, first I'll just go on a walk. Somehow she ended up in the park that she first saw Ikuto play his beautiful violin. This is hopeless, Amu thought, she would never let go of him. All of a sudden, she heard a familiar violin song. Amu jumped behind a bush and peered from behind the leaves. Amu was certain it was Ikuto playing and then, she saw him.

Amu fell flat on her face, out of the bush and hurriedly stood up, her cheeks a deep red. She jerked back into the bush. Slowly, she peeked out to see if he had seen her, but luckily, he hadn't. Amu stared with eyes the size of saucers at Ikuto; he hadn't changed at all, although she hadn't seen him in, what was it? Oh yeah, 3 years as of yesterday, maybe that was the reason she was thinking of him so much.

Amu watched him play his song with her eyes full of sappy, gushy love. She then noticed that it wasn't a song she knew - it was a new sorrowful song that made her want to cry.

She couldn't believe he was here, on the turn of a dime. She started getting mad, so mad; in fact that she could quite literally KILL him. Before she realized what she was doing, she got out of the bush, came up behind him, and started hitting him in the head while yelling, "Baka!" over and over again. She suddenly stopped and he turned to face her. Before she could stop herself, she wailed Ikuto's name and his eyes widened. They both stared at each other until she turned on her heel and started sprinting to her dorm.

When she got there, she broke down and tears poured down her face. One by one, her charas came out, but were frozen in shock and just stared at her until, finally Miki went over and asked her what happened. Amu explained what happened at the park and afterwards her charas all came up and hugged her. Su then went into the kitchen and made some homemade ice cream, and all of the girls pigged out until they felt they were going to burst fat. After that, they started watching romance movies and threw popcorn at the guys every time they said they loved the girls. By the time they had watched 5 movies, Amu felt a thousand times better. She finally started her essay up again and finished it after 2 hours. By then, it was only 8:30 so, she decided to call Rima, Yaya, and Utau.

All three girls walked together to Amu's dorm and as soon as they got in and took in her puffy eyes, red nose, and tear- stained shirt, they enveloped her in a bear hug. After Amu explained everything that happened, Rima had a hard look in her eyes that made Amu cringe and told her that she was going to, "Make that darn boy regret he even met you!" Yaya just looked at Amu and hugged her so hard that she couldn't breathe. And Utau cursed under her breath looking frustrated, but once she saw Amu looking at her, she gave her a reassuring smile, though she couldn't keep the anger from her eyes. After all of them calmed down a bit, they went to a minors club and danced until 3 in the morning.

Since Amu's dorm was closest to the club, they all decided to crash there. In the morning, all four girls had headaches and decided to go to their own dorms. After they left, Amu passed out on her couch for two more hours.

She had a rude awakening when someone started pounding on the door. She paused, thinking that maybe, just maybe, it was Ikuto. Oh, what the hell, Amu thought, what's he going to do that could hurt me anymore? Still, Amu opened the door very slowly, only to find Nagi behind it staring at her. "Okay," he said, "Why on Earth did Ikuto hunt me down and demand where you are?"

"What?" Amu screeched, "You didn't tell him, did you?"

Nagi softly demanded an answer, but Amu knew she didn't need to tell him. Amu finally decided to tell him the entire thing that happened, even the goodbye three years ago. Nagi looked at her with concerned eyes, and he gave her a huge hug. He could tell that Amu wanted to be alone so he left after a little bit. Amu promised herself that she was going to quit the crybaby attitude and decided to toughen up. She was NOT going to let anyone think she was fragile. Amu showered, got dressed, and put on light make- up to go shopping.

She went to the shopping square and only ended up buying one hair clip. She was lost in thought and her feet started going on their own to the place where her and Ikuto shared the chocolate ice cream cone. Amu absentmindedly bought an ice cream cone and sat down on a bench. While she was eating it, Ikuto was suddenly there and he licked the opposite side of it. "I- I- Ikuto" Amu stuttered surprised. Ikuto smirked and then suddenly he just disappeared. Great, Amu thought distraught, now I'm plain old crazy. Amu slowly got up and walked to her apartment when she tripped and a pair of strong hands caught her.
