Bender: -Amu isn't here yet- Ikuto, you have to do it.
Ikuto: No
Bender: But why!?!?!?
Ikuto: Too out of character
Bender: But it's for Amu!!!
Ikuto: -sigh- Fine...
Bender: YAY! RIMA! BRING HER IN!!!
Amu: Bender...what are you doing...?
Bender: 1...2...3
Bender and Ikuto: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amu: -blushes- B-bendercat doesn't own Shugo Chara!
AMU'S P.O.V. (Kinda on the duh factor there...XD)
"Amu-chii!!!" Yaya yelled and slammed into me at full speed. We fell to the ground with Yaya sitting on my back.
"What now Yaya?" I somehow managed to cough out. She knocked the breath out of me...
"Happy birthday!!!" She squealed and shook me by my shoudlers.
It amazes me how even at seventeen Yaya still acts like...well like Yaya. Most of us changed at least a little bit. Rima's not as bad when it comes to bad jokes. Don't get me wrong, she stills freaks out and ends up taking it out on Nagi. -sigh- Poor Nagi...
"Thanks I guess..." I muttered with my head spinning...Since when was there a pink penguin dancing the macarena in a tutu out here? "Yaya! Stop shaking me! You're making me see things!"
"Sorry Amu-chii!" Yaya squealed and glomped me. "I'm just so happy!"
"...Why are you happy? It's my birthday," Not that I care really. "Not yours."
"Because birthday's mean cake!!!!!!!!"
I sweatdropped and stood up.
"So we're going to the royal garden?" That's where we had Rima's.
"Nope! We're going to chuck e' cheezes!!! (...Did I spell that right?)"
"Yaya! Stop lying to Amu!" Utau came up and glared down at Yaya.
Yaya shuddered and hid behind my legs. "Utau-tan scary!"
I laughed and looked at everyone. Utau, Kukai, Nagi, Rima, Tadase (ew, right?), and Ikuto...did they all know it was my birthday today? I never told anyone.
"Come on Amu. We're really taking you to this cool karaoke club." Utau said and linked her arm with mine.
"But Yaya wants pizza and a rat!!!" Yaya whined like a baby.
"If you behave yourself we'll take you on your birthday." Nagi said and put a hand on Yaya's shoulder.
"Yay!" Yaya yelled and tackled Rima's boyfriend.
"They'll catch up with us. Let's just go." Rima smiled a tiny smile and linked her arm with my other one.
I sighed and let everyone lead me to the karaoke-club-thing(!).
OoOoOoOoOoO
"Presents!!!" Yaya squealed and pushed the colorful wrapped boxes toward me. The biggest one from Tadase, and the smallest from Ikuto.
"Open mine first Hinamori-san." Tadase smiled and gestured the box as tall as me.
"Uh...I stoof up from the booth we were all sitting at and attempted to open the present. "A...throne?" What...the..hell...
Ikuto stifled a laugh and Utau started giggling.
"Thanks Tadase-kun." I smiled and took the box Yaya was handing to me.
From Rima...I opened the red and white striped box. A gag-manga.
"Thanks Rima!" I smiled and gave her a hug.
"Mine next!!" Yaya pouted and shoved the pink and yellow box in my hands.
I opened it and found...hair ties? Strawberry ones. (Like the one's she wore in the episode with her baby brother)
"Do you like em Amu-chii!?"
I giggled. "Yeah Yaya. Thanks!" I gave her a hug and ruffled her hair.
"Amu!" Utau whined. "You'll open the others later! I wanna do karaoke!"
"Alright alright! But I'm not doing it!"
Utau rolled her eyes. "It's your birthday. You have to."
"Shouldn't I get to decide that?"
"Nope." Utau smirked and dragged me on stage. When we got up she grabbed th mic. "Alright everyone! Give it up for our birthday girl!"
I blushed deep red as she handed me the mic. I looked out to see everyone staring at me. I glanced at the table everyone was sitting at for reassurance. Ikuto was smiling and Kukai gave me a thumbs up. Kukai said something to Ikuto and he nodded. What's he saying?
I saw Kukai count to three on his fingers, then, "GO AMU!!!" They both shouted.
I smiled and looked at what Utau was going to make me sing. I looked at it curiosuly and looked over at Utau.
"What the hell?" I mouthed.
I heard the music start and turned my attention back to the crowd. Big mistake! I looked over at my friends and started the song
Mama never taught me how to love
Daddy never taught me how to feel
Mama never taught me how to touch
Daddy never taught me how to heal
Mama never set a good example
Daddy never held Mama's hand
Mama found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man
I've walked around
Broken
Emotionally frozen
Hanging on, gettin' it wrong
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
How do you love someone without crawling in the dirt?
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love, how do you love someone?
Now I know why she chose this song...
I was always a chosen child
The biggest scandel I became
They told me I'd never survive,
But survives my middle name.
I've walked around, hoping, just barely broken
Hangin' on, gettin' it wrong.
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
How do you love someone without crawling in the dirt?
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love, how do you love someone?
It's hard to talk, to see what's deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth when you've always lied
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
How do you love someone without crawling in the dirt?
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love someone and make it last?
How do you love someone, without tripping on the past?
How do you love, how do you love someone?
How do you love, how do you love someone?
Someone
I huried off the stage and ran back to sit down.
"I'm never doing that again!"
"But Amu-chii, you were so good!"
I raised an eyebrow.
"Sure I was." I muttered.
"Good job Amu!" Utau came running up after giving the mic back.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and turned back to my presents. "Now can I open them?"
"Yep." Utau smiled and handed hers to me.
Inside was a little silver half-heart necklace. I smiled and put it around my neck.
"Thanks Utau! It's so pretty!" I smiled and glomped her.
"Oi! Mine next!" Kukai yelled and threw a ball wrapped in wrapping paper to me.
Of course it was a soccer ball.
"Now you have no excuse to not play!" Kukai grinned and gave a thumbs up.
I laughed and looked at Nagi and Ikuto.
"Don't look at me. I'm going last." Ikuto smirked.
Nagi sighed and handed me the small box.
"Um...Nadeshiko sent it over...from France. It's from both of us."
I felt a huge smile creep onto my face. I opened it and pulled out the most beautiful dress I'd ever seen. It was white and silver with a black band around it, and had a tiered look.
I glomped Nagi and whispered, "Tell her thank for me, okay?"
I pulled away and looked at Ikuto.
"Okay, you're the only one left."
Ikuto smirked and handed me the small dark blue box still on the table. It fit in the palm of my hand. Before I opened it Ikuto came over and sat by me.
I opened the box and found a note. I pulled it out and read it with my head still bent over the box.
Amu,
Look up.
Look up? What?
I did as the note told and Ikuto pulled me into a kiss. My eyes widened then slowly closed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt a chain around it and pulled away. I saw the other half of the heart around his neck.
"Heppy birthday." He smirked when I pulled away.
Bender: Hope ya liked it, cause I didn't...I don't really like how it turned out. This was sorta a last minute decision, so I only had a few hours to do this...sorry. :(
Ikuto: You should be! ...Only if you had planned it and I didn't get to kiss Amu I wouldn't be very happy...
Bender: Then shut up and be happy!!!
Amu: Save me... -sigh- Stupid idiots...Review please!
Utau: Do it for me! My birthday's next!
Bendercat: Unless I missed someone...
