Hi everyone!

Firstly, a million apologies must go to all of you. I am still writing, however I have had the busiest few months ever!

So, I graduated on Thursday! I am now novicestar BSc (HONS)! Yay me! It was an amazing day!

Also, I finally moved into a little place with the boyfriend – it's taken long enough!

So, I haven't had the internet/my computer for a while. Just today though, I updated a load of the components in my PC so hopefully more chapters for my other fics.

This is just a short story featuring my favourite Shugo Chara! Characters.

Please enjoy, read and review. The plan is to have the next chapter up in a few days' time at most, so please encourage me! The first chapter is nearly ready to upload (this is just a prologue); it just needs cleaning and rechecking as I really don't have a beta. Perhaps I should get me one of those!

Yours, novicestar.

PS I don't own Shugo Chara! The characters, or Skype.


Tapping the keys gently, Amu typed her name and created a password for her account. Then she did as prompted by the screen, and filled in a bit more information about herself, before tapping the next button.

"Ne, Amu, have you done it yet?"

Amu clicked on the Skype icon at the bottom of the screen and she was greeted with a moving image of her friend; the famous pop idol, Hoshina Utau.

Amu smiled at her friend through the camera, and responded into the little microphone that was attached the headphones placed atop her head. "I'm just typing my info in."

"Good. This whole fan forum idea of Sanjo-san's seems to be more work than it's worth," Utau huffed. "Make sure your username is something people can't trace as being yours."

Amu nodded. "I know, but I still don't understand why."

"Well, I need someone I can trust to moderate what the fans are saying, and as I can't be on here all the time, its best I get someone I know and trust to keep an eye out covertly. That way, my fans won't get jealous of you or think that I'll be their friend too or something."

Amu smiled brightly. She understood exactly what was being asked of her. "My username… ano…Utau…what should I use?"

Utau paused. "Whatever you want it to be. Think what you'd put if you were signing up to this website."

Amu thought hard about it. "What about… DARMS?"

"Darms?"

"No. DARMS. Dia, Amu, Ran, Miki, Su. An anagram of me and my shugo charas first initials."

Utau's face scrunched up a little considering it. DARMS would work. Only someone who knew what it meant would know who it was tied to. "Hai, that'll do."

"It's available!"

"Good, now use it. I have to go. Sanjo-san's calling for me."

"Bye, Utau! Good luck for the concert!" Amu waved at her friend and disconnected the video call.
