One Step to Forever
Chapter 1; Holiday!
Emma; well hello there everyone, hope you are all doing well ((: Okay so the other night I had a dream about the cast of Shugo Chara all going on a trip together! And it was so sweet of the Amuto parts I dreamt, so I decided to share it with you all ((:
Amu; is this going to be another tragic story?
Emma; surprisingly, it isn't! It's romance and comedy this time ;)
Ikuto; this isn't going to be funny at all…
Emma; Probably not, but there's loads of Amuto in it ;P
Ikuto; LET'S READ IT! ;P
Amu; Emma does not own Shugo Chara! ;P
Amu's POV
The bus screamed at me from outside as I packed the last thing into my suitcase; which was stuffed with clothes, accessories, and miscellaneous items which I probably wouldn't need. I couldn't wait to be finally away from this city and relax with my friends by the sea. I'm still surprised that my dad of all people let me go off on this trip even though it meant spending three whole weeks with my friends which included five boys. I'm glad to get out the house for a while and spend some quality time with my friends.
The only downside is that after the three weeks are over I have to say goodbye to Ikuto, who is leaving to find his father who could be anywhere on this whole world right now. I admired Ikuto though for what he was doing, even though deep down there was a pain that ached at the thought that I would never see him again. I would just enjoy the next three weeks and when the time came for goodbye I would be ready to stand up and face it.
And if you haven't guessed already I was going on a trip to a villa owned by Easter, which they gladly let us use for the next few weeks, along with Tadase, Kukai, Nagihiko, Kairi, Ikuto, Utau, Yaya, Rima and Lulu, who had just came back to Japan a few weeks ago. Spending a whole three weeks with them all was going to be amazing; I could just feel the excitement beaming inside me. I couldn't wait to relax for the next few weeks with no stress from homework, x-eggs or Easter.
If only I had known what was truly going to happen though, I have to ask myself, would I still have gone?
Normal POV
As Amu rushed outside after saying goodbye to her family, she quickly ran onto the bus to find only one empty seat; the seat next to Ikuto. It was a ten seater bus; I guess it's what you call a mini bus. Tadase sat beside Kukai, Rima next to Nagihiko, Yaya next to Kairi, Utau next to Lulu, and then there was Ikuto who sat all by himself. Amu sighed and took her seat beside Ikuto as the bus started to drive off.
"Hi, Ikuto" Amu greeted him as he did the same back. She was expecting him to say some stupid comment and make her blush like always but surprisingly for most of the journey he sat listening to his iPod and the other time he spent sleeping. The bus ride was mostly boring for Amu, who sat and was also entertained by the company of her brand new iPod touch. She also chatted away to everyone else but soon, since the bus ride lasted nine hours, everyone was asleep.
She didn't know why but Amu was incapable to sleep even the slightest second whilst on a bus, and so while everyone else drifted off into the land of sweet dreams she just quietly listened to her iPod. Well that was until a certain blue haired cat awoke.
"Are we there yet?" he yawned as he quietly sat up and looked at the golden orbs that were staring right back at him.
"Still another half an hour till we get there" Amu stated as she turned and looked at the sleeping passengers. Ikuto didn't say anything else; he simply looked out of the window like he was trying to avoid talking to Amu.
"What's wrong?" she asked as his eyes turned from the scenery to her bubble gum hair.
"What makes you think there's anything wrong?" he asked but he didn't expect an answer. And that's exactly what he got; nothing. Amu sat there unable to answer. Ikuto sighed and whispered that he was going back to sleep, and so without another word he was back in the world of dreams and Amu was stuck in reality all alone.
It wasn't long before half an hour was up and they had all arrived safely at their destination. Amu felt relieved to finally breathe fresh air and to walk on the solid ground. "Finally!" Amu praised as everyone else heavily walked through the doors still wanting to sleep more. Utau woke herself up and declared, "I have an idea!" as everyone suddenly looked at her like they were full of energy once again.
"Well there is five rooms, and ten of us. In each room there is 2 beds so that means we have to share with someone." Everyone just stared at her; they already knew this. Utau dismissed this and continued, "Well since it's that way then let's all play a game!" She suddenly brought out her 7up bottle which she was drinking during the bus journey.
"Spin the bottle!" She declared as everyone in the room's eyes widened. Firstly, we all disagreed but after more explaining we accepted.
"It's simple, spin the bottle and whoever it lands on will be the person you share rooms with for the next three weeks!" Utau praised her idea as she explained it.
Yaya insisted on spinning first, so after we all sat in a circle acting like a bunch of kids at a party who were playing pass the parcel she took the first shot at spinning the bottle. It spun round and round and soon stopped at…Kairi!
Yaya moaned, "I don't wanna spend three weeks living with a guy!" much to the despair of Kairi.
Next to spin with Utau who got Kukai with much luck. Utau and Kukai had been going out for a couple of months now, but kept it secret from the rest of the group. They both smiled at each other as they both walked to the other end of the room, out of the way.
After Utau it was Rima's turn to spin, and she got Nagihiko which she was angry about. "Rima, calm down" Nagihiko sweat dropped.
Now it was Amu's turn. "Please be anyone but Ikuto!" she prayed to herself. Let's just say it wasn't a lucky day for her…
So the room assignments went as follows;
Kukai with Utau, Kairi with Yaya, Nagihiko with Rima, Lulu with Tadase and lastly…Amu with Ikuto.
Kukai's Diary
This was just how I had wanted it to end up! There was nobody else I would want to have spent three weeks with in the same room. Besides this way we could have our contests and it will be easier to date in secret!
Utau's Diary
I knew this would work out…These next few weeks were going to be amazing! Hopefully Amu doesn't find out about Ikuto…
Kairi's Diary
I wish I was with Amu, but I guess I will have to make do with Yaya. This is going to be one loud three weeks, why did I even agree to come?
Yaya's Diary
YAY! Yaya gets to spend three weeks with Kairi; I hope he doesn't find out that I have a huge crush on him! Oops that was supposed to be a secret, don't tell anyone, kay'?
Nagihiko's Diary
Okay, from today starts my master plan…no matter what happens I will confess to Rima! Now I even get to share a room with her…
Rima's Diary
Why did I end up with the cross dressing purple head? Oh well…This could be fun (:
Amu's Diary
There was NO WAY that I would be spending three whole weeks with that pervert as my roommate! Still he does seem different than usual…I wonder what's up with him…
Ikuto's Diary
…This is not going to end well…
Emma; Okay, well I lied before because I guess I just can't write a story without tragedy so please BEWARE ;P
Ikuto; This whole secret thing of mine, what is it? :S
Emma; That would be telling… ;P
Amu; …
Emma; What is it? :S
Amu; ! YOU PUT ME IN A ROOM WITH A PERVERT! :O
Emma; you stayed in the same room before? You even shared a bed! ;)
Ikuto; good times ;)
Amu; Pervert! :O
Ikuto; Review! ((:
