Me: Hi! Welcome to my first ever fan fiction, Not a Dream. I just hope you like it!

Riley: She worked really hard so don't be too mean!

Me: … thanks, Riley… Well, enjoy!

Riley: Aourie does not own Shugo Chara or its characters!

Not a Dream

Chapter One

It was just another normal day at Seiyo Elementary. As always, the student body could be heard whispering about the guardians: Hotori Tadase, Kings chair. Mashiro Rima, Queens chair. Fujisaki Nagihiko, Jacks chair. Yuiki Yaya, Ace. And Hinamori Amu, the Joker.

"Oh wow… they're so amazing!"

"I love their capes!"

"She's so cool & spicy!"

"I wish I had her hair…"

Nagihiko smiled gently at the fan girls as the friends walked by, ever the polite one.

Yaya puffed out her cheeks, bored. "Yaya doesn't want to go to school today! Yaya wants ice cream~"

Tadase smiled at her and said, "There's a new student today, Yaya. We need to be here."

"But Yaya's bored~" Yaya whined.

The friends laughed. Yup, just a normal day at Seiyo.

(The Day Before…)

Riley groaned, rubbing her head and wincing when her hand came in contact with a large bump. What had happened? She had been minding her own business, when suddenly everything had gone white and she had woken up… Uh, where was she?

Riley looked around, pushing back pink dyed bangs, taking in her surroundings. She should be home, shouldn't she? She had been on her computer, last she remembered, watching Shugo Chara for the umpteenth time.

Granted, it wasn't a bad sight to wake up to, but how the heck had she gotten here? She looked down… and screeched.

Eggs?

WTH?

She poked one of the two eggs in her lap, and it wiggled. Riley's hand flew to her mouth in shock. A Shugo Chara? She laughed in relief. She must have fallen asleep.

Satisfied, she decided to enjoy the strange dream. The egg she had poked was dark blue with a black lace pattern around the middle, and on the center a pencil and paintbrush crossed each other, vaguely making an "X". The second egg was olive colored with the same lace pattern, but a little white chef's hat replaced the pencil and paintbrush.

A huge grin on her face, Riley carefully picked up her eggs and rose, looking around and recognizing where she was. Seiyo elementary. She did a little dance.

Coolest. Dream. Ever.

Me: I hope you enjoyed chapter 1 of Not a Dream! I just want to say, I hesitated with the X on her egg, worried how people would take it, but I've learned to trust my instincts when I write, it always works out! Nevertheless, please remember this is my first fan fiction, so I'm not used to using other peoples characters. Be kind, rewind, and all that!

Riley: Two eggs? Yay me! *victory dance*

Me: -_- You're so weird.

Riley: I know. That's why you love me :D Review, please!
