Heyo! I know this chapter sucks cause I had to write it more than a gazillion times so please, no flames. And don't say, "This is too rushed." I spent a whole lot a time on this (even though that's not what you actually mean). All well. I do not own Shugo Chara or Yumeiro Patissiere. Enjoy!

Amu watched as her mom, Hinamori Midori, ate a cake roll. The one Amu made for her because it was her birthday. The one she used Su's help for. Amu's little sister, Ami, their father, Hinamori Tsumugu, was eating to. The difference, though, was that, while Tsumugu and Midori ate neatly, Ami was just stuffing her face with her hands. But, Midori and Tsumugu both had their eyes close and didn't notice their rude daughter.

"Oishi!" Midori complimented.

"Hontoni," Tsumugu said, agreeing with Midori.

"Amu is a baker! She's a baker!" Ami exclaimed as she ate more. Amu smiled a fake smile.

"Arigato."


Amu lay on her bed and sighed. Each of those compliments made her feel… unhappy.

"What's wrong, ~desu?" Su asked her. Amu just sighed again.

"I feel like I cheated on making that cake." Amu rolled to her side.

"Demo…" Ran started before a song played. It came from Amu's pink phone. She, reluctantly, got up from the bed.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Ah, Amu-chan!" Amu's eyes widened as she smiled for real.

"Shuu-niichan!?"


(Time skip)

"So, I heard about the cake," Shuu said. "And I was just thinking that we needed another employee." Amu's eyes sparkled.

"Really! Watashi!?" she screamed into the phone. Soon, her parents were in her room.

"Amu-chan, are you alright!?" her mother asked.

"Is there a pedophile in here!?" her father asked after her. Amu told Shuu to please wait, and then shook her head, still smiling brightly. Dia smiled back, liking the radiant aura her bearer was giving off.

"Mama, papa. Eh, Shuu-niichan said he could use some extra hands at his patisserie and I was wondering if I could go since school is over. O-o-onegi!"

Me: Cliffhanger!
Amu: Why?
Me: Dunno. I like to?
Makoto: Oy! When are we gonna show up?
Me: Chapter 3: Team Ichigo Meets the Joker! Then, in chapter 4: Oh No! Trouble, I might add in some Kashigo romance! Amuto is a LONG time from here. Well, R&R! Bai bai!
