Katsura: I'm a sucker for writing one-shots! I can't help it. When I get an idea I have to write it down.

Ikuto: -sigh- So what's todays one-shot about?

Katsura: -cough- Ok. So what if Ikuto did a few odd jobs in order to pay for his and Amu's new apartment?

Ikuto: Me and Amu are living together??

Amu: Really?

Katsura: Long story short. Yes.

Ikuto: Fine with me. So what odd job have I got first.

Katsura: Chuck E. Cheese!

Ikuto: You have to be kidding me..

Su: Katsura-chan does not own Shugo chara, Ikuto Amu or Chuck E. Cheese-desu.

~~~~~~~Ikuto's POV~~~~~~~

As I pushed the double doors of the restaraunt, a very horrid smell greets me.

Smells of burning fat and grease, eck.

I ignore it and press forward, going up to the front desk, and ignoring the occaisional whistle.

Over the desk is an overweight man in his late 20's, he's wearing an orange and white striped apron covered with grease stains, and a plain white tee shirt, that also, has stains.

Again, eck.

''Uhh..good afternoon? I would like to apply for a job?'' I say, questioning myself as to why I'm here.

'''Oh good good, I need some cover every once in a while. If you can, i'd like you to start now? We're very busy.'' He grins a crookid grin, looking up from his Naruto manga.

I look around and see only 8 seats filled, and about 32 empty.

A tumbleweed rolls across the floor for dramatic effect.

Oh yeah, and there's a cricket in the tumbleweed.

''Right, busy busy busy.'' I smile awkwardly.

He hands me a uniform like his, and plops the geekiest hat i've ever seen onto my head. It looks like a food container with orange stripes on it.

When i'm done changing in the room out back, I come back to the desk.

He slaps a tag on my apron that says ''Hello and how may I serve you?''. Get real.

''Well, that's my shift over. All you have to do, is do the drinks and give the food from the chefs, to the waiters, so they can give it to the customers'' He smirks, lifting his trousers further up his belly.

Once again, ECK!

I stand boredly behind the counter, tapping my fingers on the surface.

A man with brown hair and a 12 o'clock shave and droopy eyes comes up to the desk.

''Unoo..Is there any Pepsi served here?'' He says expressionless.

I slap a pepsi can out from nowhere, onto the desk with the same expression as him.

''Thanks.'' He says again, putting money on the counter.

''This is easy, bring it on customers!'' I cheer, smacking the desk with enthusiasm.

20 minutes pass and no signs of a customer.

''Man this bites..come on people! Anybody, just come in!'' I groan, putting my head in my hands.

Then the bell on the door rings, signaling that someones entering.

''Hello and welcome to Chuck E. Cheese..omfg AMU?!'' I scream upon noticing the pink haired girl walking in with Rima and Yaya.

I duck down instantly behind the counter.

If Amu see's me in this gimpy outfit, she will laugh forever!

''Hello? Anybody?'' Amu calls.

I can hear footsteps, getting closer, closer!

''Yaya wants cake!'' Yaya calls in third person.

''Amu..I hear cowering behind that counter.'' A bored Rima says to Amu.

~~~~~~~Amu's POV~~~~~~~

''Cowering? Ok..'' I reply, walking over to the desk and peering over.

''Omifkingoshroflcopter!'' I scream, falling backwards, just in time for Rima to catch me.

''IKUTO! YOU WORK AT CHUCK E. CHEESE?!'' I scream flailing around like a fish out of water.

The figure arises from the counter with a pissed look on his face.

I get a good look at what he's wearing, and I burst into a fit of laughter.

''Holy hell Ikuto! Looks like you just got attacked by carrots!'' I laugh, holding my stomach.

Yaya laughs aswell, and Rima just grins, taking a seat.

''Yeah yeah, make jokes. But this is the only way I can afford that apartment for us both. So unless you want to sleep in a box, I suggest you sit your ass down and order something.'' He says, leaning on the counter.

''Just sell some stuff on Ebay, jeez'' I reply, puffing my cheeks, crossing my arms and sitting down.

Me Rima and Yaya take a menu each.

Then our faces turn into mush.

''I-Ikuto..?'' I say.

''Yeah?''

''Why does the menu only consist of cheese covered chips..'' I scowl, keeping my eyes on the menu.

''Whaat!? No candy! Yaya is PISSED!'' Yaya glares at the menu with such a furious aura surrounding he.

Rima rips the menu up expressionless, throws it around like confetti, and leans her chin on her palm.

''It does? Wow..sucky place this is then. Maah, I quit, I'll find another job. We will get that apartment'' He grins, ripping his apron off and taking the goofy hat off and ruffing his hair.

''O-kay then. Well then i'll get a job at the same place you do next time.'' I smile, standing up and leaving with Rima Yaya and Ikuto behind me.

As the door closes, I hear a man scream ''No! Don't leave yet! I havn't finished volume 2!''.

~~~~~~~Amu's POV next day~~~~~~~

''Ikuto..'' I frown.

''Yes darling?'' He smiles.

''Why are we scaling the building cleaning windows?!?'' I scream, throwing a wet sponge at him.

Katsura: Mhh mhh..I see..

Ikuto: What are you doing?

Katsura: Inspecting my salad. Cucumber, cabbage and lettuce. Right.

Ikuto: You've officially lost it.

Amu: Lost it? She never HAD it.

Katsura: Hey, don't push it, or no more Amuto stories!

Amu/Ikuto: -shuts up-

Katsura: Better. Omfg nuu school starts tomorrow! -jumps out of the window-
