DD: Hi people!

Amu/Ikuto: Hey!

DD: I got the idea for this story when I took part in a play over the summer at my school, it was 'Sleeping Beauty' and I was the ugly witch. ^^ I apparently got it due to me being evil and having a very good cackle.

Amu: That kinda makes me scared as to what sort of person I'm entrusting into writing this story.

DD: Mwahahahaha!

Ikuto: DD does not own Shugo Chara or any of it's characters.

DD: Mwahahaha- (begins choking)

Amu: (Watches DD rolling about chocking on floor) Should we help her?

Ikuto: (Shrugs)

Amu sat in her seat gazing out the window whilst cupping her face in her hands. Nikaidou was currently speaking about the wonders of algebra… something Amu was not excited to learn about. It seemed nobody else was listening either within the class.

As Nikaidou tried his best to capture the attention of his bored students he was suddenly cut off by the bell.

The students immediately jumped out of their seats as if it had electrocuted them and began walking away.

"B-by the way!" Nikaidou cried, trying to speak before his students exited the class, "We're having auditions for a school play soon, if you want to take part go to room 15 to pick up a script now."

Nikaidou sighed as half the class had already swept out.

One pink-headed girl however had heard all of it, keeping her 'cool and spicy' façade though she calmly walked towards the door.

"Oh Himamori-san!" he cried.

Amu froze, "It's Hinamori!" she growled.

"Yeah, yeah, Himamori-san." Nikaidou said ignoring her.

Letting out a frustrated sigh Amu turned around to the teacher stood behind his desk, "What?" she asked flatly.

"Just so you know, I think you'd be perfect for a roll in this play. Please try and audition!?" he pleaded.

Amu rolled her eyes, "I'll see…"

You think that! Really!? Yes! Her inner self was cheering.

Walking out of the classroom she found most of the school already out, making sure nobody was watching she skilfully creeped along the hallways. Her guardian chara's were currently at home with Ami playing 'house' which she was thankful for now, they'd make way too much noise.

Turning a corner she found room 15 up ahead, two girls were walking out with scripts in their hands. As they turned a corner Amu quickly walked over to the room and peered inside.

"Amu!"

Amu's eyes widened upon seeing Yaya there.

"Huh, Yaya? Why are you here?" Amu asked.

"I'm giving out scripts for the play!" Yaya cried with a smile, "Do you want one?"

"Of course not." Amu retorted folding her arms, No, I really do!

Yaya frowned, "But you'd be perfect!"

Amu remained silent, refusing to ask for one. If it had been a teacher she would be willing to pluck up the courage to ask for one but now she was too proud to break her façade.

"Well take one just in case!" Yaya said practically shoving a script in Amu's face.

Amu glanced at the script, sighed and hesitantly took in, "Fine…" she muttered.

Yaya cheered and quickly wrote down Amu's name, "Bye bye then!" she yelled waving.

"Bye." Amu said in a flat tone before walking out, as soon as she was out in the corridor away from prying eyes she jumped into the air, "Yes!"

Glancing down at the script she looked at the title, "Cinderella…"

As thoughts of her acting a part came to her mind causing her to smile and lose her façade, Amu began walking home with the script in her hands…

x-X-x

Ikuto lay on the grass with his hands beneath his head; he was staring up at the sky full of stars. He had grown sick of Easter ordering him about and so he had escaped to here in order to get away from them.

"Ikuto, I going with my pals nyaa~" Yoru cried, flying above Ikuto's head.

Ikuto said nothing in response and Yoru quickly yelled, "Come on guys!"

With that said, Yoru floated off with several cats following in suite.

After a few minutes of silence Ikuto pushed himself off the floor and rested his head on one of his hands, bored he decided to go pay a visit to one certain pink-haired girl.

Grinning he stood up and began making his way…

Ten minutes later Ikuto found himself on top of Amu's house, he was on the edge of the roof overlooking the balcony.

Wondering what prank he'd play on his Amu this time he got lost in his thoughts until a voice suddenly interrupted them.

"Which roll to play…"

Looking down he found Amu stood on the balcony with a booklet open in her hands; she had a worried look which distracted Ikuto from the pink shorts and tank top she was wearing for pyjama's.

"I could play a fairy but that would break my outer look." Amu muttered rubbing her hands against the back of her neck, turning a page she rested her eyes on some writing, "C-Cinderella maybe?"

Ikuto listened intently and was slightly surprised when Amu began reciting some words…

Standing up straight, Amu held the script in one hand and placed her other over her chest, "Greetings my fair prince, it is an honour to meet you."

Ikuto nearly fell over backwards at this; it wasn't just the words Amu was saying but the emotion behind them. It was as if she was an entirely different person! Her words and voice matched that of a princess and her movements were graceful at all times.

Eager to hear more, Ikuto leaned closer as Amu continued.

"I don't know. I have never dreamed of anything as wonderful as this." She continued closing her eyes gently and having a relaxing appearance wash over her.

Ikuto had to blink from what he was seeing, although it was slightly confusing due to not hearing the parts of what the prince was saying it was still amazing. Amu was completely within her roll's personality!

"I feel I am losing myself from reality." Amu continued, her voice was still angelic and as she opened her mouth to speak again Ikuto was on the verge of falling off the room.

"Argh, I can't say that!" Amu yelled breaking immediately from whatever charm she had been under, all her grace was lost as she jumped frustrated on the balcony.

Ikuto sweatdropped at her sudden change in personality…

However… it was a 100% positive that Amu would receive the main roll if she auditioned like that and that got Ikuto's cogs in motion…

Suddenly the clock inside Amu's room began ringing which caused Amu to break out of her rage.

"Oh no! Midnight already, I'll get killed for sure if my parents find me awake!" she yelled rushing inside.

As the lights turned off Ikuto waited a few more moments until he jumped down onto the balcony, looking down he picked up the script Amu had left in her hurry to return inside.

"Cinderella." He murmured, as he glanced at the list of character's his plan unfurled in his mind.

Placing a hand over his heart he turned his gaze through the balcony glass doors to where Amu slept and said, "Do not fret my princess as I swear with my hand on heart, that I will find you no matter how long it takes."

With that said he then jumped down from the balcony, taking the script along with him…

DD: Phew… finally finished.

Amu: Only the first chapter though

DD: … Why must you spoil my mood!

Amu: …

DD: Anyway I'm sure you can already guess from the summary what Ikuto plans to do. Just so you know, I actually got the ideas for the lines from a website which has the scripts of plays. However that doesn't mean I didn't think of the lines! All lines were mine except for the 'I have never dreamed…' line.

Ikuto: Enough already, end the chapter

DD: Sheesh fine… end.

Amu: Please review!
