*This is my continuing story for my first Shugo Chara! story (Shugo Chara: Love is in the Air!). It continues when they are now older and in their teens, going onto their twenties. To understand this story, you have to read the first one. And sorry if they are too short, but I want to make up for my other one, for that one being short. But PLEASE!...R&R*

While 21 years old Amu looked threw her filing cabinet, she noticed a album with a bunch of pictures inside. Her eyes started to fill a little with tears. It was a class photo of her times in Seiyo Academy. She stood beside her best friends Nadeshiko and Tadase. She also found another picture of a girl that was a year younger than her that was also a best friend of hers, Yaya. And another picture of a boy that was a year older than her, Kukai.

She looked back at Tadase. She remembered when they were 12, Tadase confessed his love for her, and so did she. When they went to middle school, they were still close, but not as much. Then, everything ended when they went to high school. They never saw each other again. When she went to his house, he wasn't there, and then one day the house was deserted.

Nadeshiko told her at the end of grade 7 that she was really a cross dresser. His real name was Nagihiko. He told her that nothing had changed between then and that she could tell him anything. Amu still felt the same around him, but a little different. Then he had to go travelling with his family.

Yaya was still in school when Amu, Tadase, and Nadeshiko left. She was taking over the Guardians with Hikaru and a girl named Rikka. She was busy and she had to mature to keep the Guardians in order. She made occasional visits to Yaya, but school was overcrowding so she didn't as much as she'd hope.

Kukai was involved with Utau, so he wasn't seen too often. To the others, they all thought they would get married. And who knows where her went know and what he's doing.

Amu found a separate picture of Hikaru and Rikka. According to Yaya and a girl named Rima, they had something between them. She found a picture of Rima and a picture of Utau's manager's brother, Kairi. He was also a former Jack like Kukai.

These were all memories to Amu. She felt extremely bad about it. That she never visited any one. Then she found one more picture. A picture of her Chara's. Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia. She remembered when she could transform with them. They went away when Amu grew older. Amu was devastated. She would never forget these guys. They got her threw everything. From school to battling x-eggs.

Amu sighed and took all the pictures out and threw them on her dresser. She now lived in a small apartment and no long with her parents and her little sister, Ami. She was extremely upset when Amu left home, but she matured over the years and forgot the Chara's. Amu was feeling really sad about never seeing her friends from elementary school, so she decided to go for a little walk.

As she walked along the street, she could see a bunch of couples holding hands. Some were first timers and Amu could see that they felt nervous and were blushing. Others were holding hands so Amu could tell that they were dating for some time. Amu felt even sadder because she didn't have a boyfriend. Then, she thought of Tadase. How he always smiled at her, and forgave her for anything she did. That then reminded her of Ikuto, and how Tadase forgave him for their past together. She also wondered when Ikuto got in life. She didn't see him for a while after he went to look for his biological father. Was he okay? Did anything happen?

As Amu thought about the things she should have done before she left the school and all her friends, she wasn't looking where she was going. She slowly drifted to the side of the sidewalk, and tripped off the edge of the speed bump. She fell on the road as a street car roared towards her. She was in too much shock and she was too paralyzed to move. She saw her life flash before her eyes until she felt her body lift from the ground. She quickly shut her eyes. She though—knew she was dead and going to heaven. But she then her s few gasps and cheers. She opened her eyes and saw a tall man holding her. He had cherry pink shining eyes and golden blond hair that shimmered. She couldn't remember who this was until he talked:_
Are you okay?

Just then, her eyes widened with happiness.

Amu: T-T-Tadase?
