Amu sat down in at her desk in her room, and started to brush her bubblegum pink hair. Her family had to move because of her father's job and she was given two options. She was to either move with her family all the way to Tokyo or to live with their family friends all the way in Osaka. Either way, she'd be away from her friends in Kyoto. The girl's eyes looked over her room to the small blue cat stuffed animal that she had laying on her bed. Smiling, she started to remember the day she got it.
It was Christmas Day… A small pink haired girl sat on the couch of a huge house in a dark red dress. She knew the house too well, for she has been there several thousand times and explored every inch of it she could. There were four boys living in that house. All brothers.
The small pink haired girl just smiled and waited for the four boys to come down. When they did she recognized them to be her friends. There was a small brown haired one, his hair was slightly messy. A small purple haired one, his hair went to his waist, a bond haired one, and a blue haired one.
The girl got up and hugged all the boys; they all seemed embarrassed though, since they never really got hugs from girls. "Merry Christmas guys!" she said in her cheery voice. And they smiled and said back, "Merry Christmas!"
It was now time to pass around gifts, the girl already passed hers out the day before when she stayed the night because her parents had to go visit some relatives, but the guys kept hers a secrete.
The blond haired boy gave her some books, which she didn't mind, but they were out of her reading level. The purple haired boy gave her a microphone since she loved to sing. The brown haired boy gave her a small skate-board just her size since she was always borrowing his. Lastly, the blue haired boy gave her a small stuffed cat since she loved stuffed animals. She instantly hugged it and said thanks to all of them.
"What are you going to name him?" she remembered her mom and their mom ask and she replied in delight "Iku-kun, since she matches his hair!"
They all laughed slightly at the small girl because of her cuteness of saying that. The rest of that day was spent by the blond kid teaching her how to read, the purple haired kid showing her how to use the microphone, the brown haired kid showing her how to skate-board better, and the blue haired kid playing with her.
The girl smiled as her golden amber eyes scanned her room once more before she came across a mirror. Standing up, she stared into it, Iku-kun in hand, and just stood there. Something, she felt, was off about her. Messing with her long hair, she knew the answer.
It was several hours before she returned home, and her mother gapped at her. "Amu, what did you do? You look...adorable!" She exclaimed as she looked over her daughter's new look. Her waist length hair was shoulder length and her girly cloths were now punk style. Even her mother liked it better on her than she did the old cloths.
"Thanks mother, I thought it'd suit me better for where I'm going to be staying. I'll live with the family friends." She explained as nicely as she could. To her surprise, her mother looked happier than she probably should have been.
"That's great Amu-chan! I'll tell them straight away!"
This was going to be a long day for the girl. She gave her mother the answer a few weeks ago and all that was on her mind was her moving day and Kyoto. She hasn't the family in years, but they still talk via emails and letters. What did they turn out to be like, and will they even know who I am when they see me? Her thoughts were interrupted by the intercom buzzing in, asking for her to leave so she could catch her flight. Doing as she was told, standing up, she gave her teach a goodbye and walked out of her classroom.
It only took them about an hour to get to the airport. Amu stood there with tears in her eyes as she looked at her parents and her sister. Ami looked devastated and begged Amu to stay, but she couldn't. She gave her sister the last hug she could ever give, and gave her one of her favorite stuffed animals. It was a pink cat this time named Ichigo. Her parents hugged her one more time before the pink haired girl boarded the plane. It was only a few minutes before the plane took off, and all she could do was stare out the window and let the tears silently run down her face.
