"Amu"

"Amu?" Tadase asks as Amu looks up at him nervously. It's their high school graduation. She replies, "N-nothing." She had never been one that sought out attention.

Tadase puts his arm around her. He says, "It's been a while since we were guardians, huh?" She paused to remember the good times of elementary school.

Since those times she was forced to choose between Ikuto and Tadase. She picked the one she thought she loved—Tadase. Yet, she was strangely unhappy.

Finally they were free from school. Amu would soon go away to University. Tadase had chosen another. They were to be separated. She planned the end the relationship to prevent any further hurt.

They got into a line. She heard her name being called aloud as she stepped to the stage to receive her diploma. She was finally free.

Later that night a graduation party took place. All of her childhood friends came. Everyone was having a good time and enjoying themselves. Until Tadase did something that Amu did not expect.

He knelt down on one knee and pulled out a box with a diamond ring inside. He said, "Amu, will you marry me?" She frozed. Half a minute's time went by. He said, "Amu?" She did not yet respond.
