Ok, yea, I've written this one a looong while ago D; but I never got around to putting it up due to the fact that I have not yet figured out how the plot will be like... Updates on this will be very slow, if any... ''orz
First Travel: Unchangable Fate
-Amu's POV-
A boy stood in front of me. He had midnight blue hair and pretty blue eyes. He smiled and called my name. "Amu…Today is…"
My eyes shot open. I glanced around me. I was in my room, there were no hot boys around, just the small cramped room. "Oh…what was that dream again…" I tried to remember what had happened in my dream. I could only remember that boy. I can't remember what had happened before. I glanced at the calendar next to my bed. Today's date was circled in red. "Right. That's what he meant." I said with a grin. "Today is my birthday!" I'm turning 16, year 5028.
Today was a special day, other than the fact that it was my birthday. Today, I can get my license. I had been waiting for today for the whole year since my friends had gotten their license already.
I ran down the stairs, banging on my sister's door as I ran down. "Wake up, Ami!" I continued down the stairs until I reached the kitchen. My mom was already done making breakfast.
"Good morning, Amu." My mom greeted me. "Did you forget to set your alarm clock again? Your sister had already left ten minutes ago."
"What?!" I asked. I glanced at the clock. "Oh no! I'm going to miss the morning assembly! That's the time they catch everyone who's late and make them have detention!"
"Take your breakfast with you. Just make sure you don't get too distracted and end up in a traffic accident…again." My mom said as she packed my breakfast in a paper bag.
"Right, don't worry!" I said as I grabbed the bag and headed out the door. My car was parked in the driveway and I quickly started the engine. The car hovered above the driveway before I started flying up into the air and into the traffic above. The car I'm driving is a simple aircar, it's the cheapest of the new models. And the license I was talking about wasn't my driver's license. I had gotten that four years ago, when I was twelve.
I was on a busy highway today and it took me a while to get to school.
At the school, I had made it on time. The students were just about to go inside. I hurried to join the line of students.
"Amu-chan, over here!" a voice called for me the moment I passed through the doors. A boy with blonde hair was motioning for me to come closer.
"Tadase-kun…" I said as I walked over to him. "Um…where did everyone go…?" I looked around for the rest of my friends, but they were no where in sight.
"You were late! So they all left!" A voice from Tadase's school bag said. "Only Tadase was nice enough to wait here to tell you!" A little robot floated out of his schoolbag. He looked like a miniature Tadase, except he had purple hair and had a much meaner attitude.
"Kiseki! You could be nicer when you say things!" Tadase scolded him.
"Hmph."
"But it's true, Amu-chan…I was getting tired of waiting, too."
"Yeah, ok, I'm sorry." I apologized. "But…I can't wait till I get one of these, too." I said, pointing at Kiseki.
"Oh, yeah." Tadase grinned. "You're getting your license today, right?"
I nodded. "Now I can finally do well on my history homework and go places with everyone. I'm going to get it after school, my time traveling license!" I looked at Kiseki. "I can't wait until I get my Guardian Character, too…my own Shugo Chara to help me travel through time."
"Yeah, now let's go, Amu-chan. They'll get grumpy from waiting too long."
"Wow, you guys rented the Royal Garden for my birthday party?" I asked as I looked up at a banner that said 'Happy Birthday, Amu-chan!'
"Yup, because you mean that much to us, and after today, we can all go on trips together!" My best friend, Nadeshiko said. Nadeshiko was a girl with long black hair pulled back into a ponytail. She's very elegant and she takes traditional Japanese dancing.
"Although our friends who are younger than us can't come along with us…" My other best friend Rima said. Rima is a really short, but pretty and cute girl. She had long curly blonde hair and people often mistake her for a foreigner. Rima was often called a queen because she was so pretty (and because she knew how to manipulate people very well, especially guys).
"Well, so what?" The boy who was sitting on one of the unused upside down pots, bouncing a soccer ball on his knee. "We're their seniors. When they're old enough, they can come along. Until then they can just wish they can come along. That's what my older brothers did to me."
"Hey, Kukai, That's a little mean." Nagihiko said. He had long black hair and looked exactly like Nadeshiko. Nagihiko and Nadeshiko were twins.
"Well, anyways, Happy Birthday, Amu-chan!" Tadase said as he walked through the door with a cake in his hands. "A chocolate ice cream cake!" He said as he handed it to Nadeshiko who started cutting it into pieces.
"Ok, Amu, make a wish!" Kukai said as he put the soccer ball down and joined everyone at the table.
I closed my eyes and thought carefully about my wish. I wish something good will happen when I time travel.
I took a deep breathe and blew out all 16 candles.
My car was parked in front of my sister's school. I had to pick her up and drop her off at home before I can go take my license. I hope I won't be late…
Just then, someone knocked on my aircar's window. I looked up to see one of my friends who went to another school. "Utau!" I said as I rolled down the window. Utau reached in and opened the car door to let herself in.
"Happy birthday, Amu!" She said as she sat down and handed me a package. "I know they give you one when you get a license, but you can never get too many.
"…Huh?" I didn't exactly get what she was saying until I ripped open the package. The moment all the paper was off the box, the top burst open and a little robot flew out.
"Hello Amu-chan! I'm your new Shugo Chara!" The robot yelled at me. She had bright red hair and was in a cheerleader's uniform. "My name's Ran! Nice to meet you!"
"Oh…A Shugo Chara! How'd you get this?! They only give out one to everyone…" I said as I looked at Ran. I turned to Utau who was grinning with two Shugo Chara's floating next to her. "Oh, right." I smirked at her. "Your 'connections' right?"
"Yup. I would've gotten more of these cute charas if these two weren't a set." Utau said as she let the two Charas land on her hand. One was a devil and the other was an angel. "It'd look weird if there was one who wasn't part of the set…" She looked at Ran. "She's part of a set, too."
"Huh? Really?"
"I'll give you the other ones later. I've already arranged them for you." She said with a grin. "You're going to enjoy time traveling, despite the rules."
"Really? I thought being a singer was more fun." I joked.
"Yea…It's a lot less stressful, too."
"Huh? Time traveling is stressful? I heard that its really relaxing…"
"No, that isn't what I mean…" Utau said with a laugh. "I'm talking about what you learn when you time travel." Utau sighed. "I've been trying to solve a mystery… My family has the family tree written down since who knows how long. And the other day, I was looking at it. It even says when a person dies. I saw that one of my ancestors died extremely young so I did some researching, I dug around my attic and I found something like a diary from someone in his family. Apparently he disappeared."
"Disappeared?"
"They treated him as a runaway." Utau sighed. "So I've been trying to find out what happened to him. I've traveled back three thousand years, to the time where he lived, which is around 2020."
"So did you find anything?"
"Sadly, no. He's alive and well, I haven't been able to pinpoint when he disappeared so…"
"I see." I said, nodding. "Hey, after I get my license, why don't I help?"
"Sure, I could use another person. I just want to find out because I was curious, really, so you can quit anytime you want." Utau pulled out a picture from her wallet. "Here's a picture of him, I photocopied it from the diary I found. His name is Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
I took the picture and stared at it. Unlike the pictures of today where the people move or there's a hologram or with voice recording, it just stood still. It was in color and he was a pretty good looking boy. Why does it feel like I've seen him somewhere…?
"Oh shoot! I have to go to a rehearsal!" Utau said as she looked at her cell phone. Her cell phone was one of the new models with lots of memory, a virtual keyboard and monitor so it could be used as a computer as well. "Sorry, Amu, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to go!" She said as she slammed the door to my car shut and hopped into a taxi.
...Wow, she really does just come and leave…
A few minutes later, the kids from my sister's school were released from their classes. I waited until Ami came and opened the door to get in. "Onee-chan, don't you have the license test today?"
"Yeah, but mom's busy today so I have to bring you home."
"Ok, sorry about this…I should have just left with my friend but she has club today." Ami sighed. "You're lucky, onee-chan, you have a driver's license, I still have to wait another year…"
"It's ok, Ami, a year passes by really quickly." I said as I hovered until my car landed in front of our house. "Ami, I think mom said there were sandwiches on the table."
"Ok, thanks, Onee-chan!" Ami said as she slammed the door and went into our house.
I started the car again and headed to the place for my test.
Half an hour after I took the test, I was sitting in the waiting room, waiting for the results. If I had failed, I'd have to wait another year before I can take it again. Finally, they called my name.
I walked up to the front desk and they gave me a file. "You grades are in there." The lady at the reception desk said, smiling. "Have a nice day."
I slowly nodded as I headed back to a nearby chair. I took a deep breathe and slowly opened the file and at the bottom of the file it said my final grade with everything added up.
I passed.
I grinned and yelled "Yes!!" That earned a few glares and 'be quiet's from people who didn't pass or is still waiting for the results.
I quickly apologized and headed down the elevator to the gift shop where they would give out the Shugo Charas.
Ran flew out of my bag. "So, so which Chara do you think you'll get?"
"Hmm…well, it's always random, but my friends all seemed to get charas that look like them so maybe it isn't random after all…" I walked into the shop. "But, Utau said she arranged some stuff for me, so I get the feeling you're about to meet your friends that are part of your 'set'."
Ran nodded as we headed to the desk. I showed them my file and the lady headed to a room behind the counter. The lady soon returned with a chara. "Thank you for waiting. This is your Shugo Chara. Let me remind you of the most important rule of time traveling: when you travel back in time, you can only observe, you must not make any action towards anyone you meet. We do not want an altered reality and if you are found to have made contact with anyone other than yourself in the past, you may receive a harsh sentence in jail."
"Yikes. Ok, I understand." I said as I took the Chara from the lady.
The Chara immediately came to live. The Chara had blue hair with a cap on. "Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Miki."
"Um…" Wow, this Chara is pretty polite. "Nice to meet you too, I'm Amu."
The Chara grinned. "Would you like to time travel now?"
"No…Taking the test was pretty stressful, so I think I'll try it tomorrow." I said as I walked out the shop. To time travel easily, our charas are built as a miniature version of the time traveling machine with a humanoid figure. They'll let us travel the moment we ask for it. "By the way, this is Ran." I said as Ran flew out of my bag. "She's a chara I received from one of my friends."
Miki stared at Ran who was flying around doing cartwheels. "I know, we are part of a set. She's heart and I am spade. There's still clover and diamond. You'll have to find them."
"Um…Ok…?"
The next day, I met my friends at the park, where we were going to all time travel together.
"Ok, Amu-chan, we might not end up together when we time travel so let your charas add each of us into their 'address book' so we can communicate with each other." Nagihiko explained to me as I watched Ran and Miki talked with everyone's Charas. Kukai's chara was Daichi, Nagihiko's chara was Rhythm, Tadase's was Kiseki, Nadeshiko's was Temari, and Rima's was Kusakusa.
"Memorization done." Miki and Ran said and floated back to me.
"Alright then, Miki, Ran, I want you to help me time travel back to the year 2016!" I said as I heard my friends say the same to their charas.
There was a bright light and the next thing I knew, I was falling through the air. Uh oh! What happened? Why am I falling, Shouldn't I already be on the ground?! I started panicking. "H-Hel…" Then I remembered I can't make contact with anyone in the past. What should I do?!
CRASH!
"Huh…That didn't really hurt."
"Of course that didn't hurt, you had me for a cushion." An annoyed voice said from below me.
"H-Huh?" I glanced down at me and glaring right at me was a boy with midnight blue hair and pretty blue eyes. "Tsukiyomi Ikuto!" I said before I realized it.
The boy raised an eyebrow. "Do I know you…?"
I quickly clamped my mouth shut. Oh no! I just broke the most important rule! I made contact with someone in the past!!
Aha, you know what's funny? I just learned that there's a reply button on the reviews -.-''
