Chapter 1: My Heart: Unlock!

"Congratulations Amu!"

"Thank you so much Papa, Mama, Ami."

"You finally graduated Sis!" Ami said with a smile.

Six years past since Amu and the Guardians graduated from Elementary. They all went to the same schools together. Not much changed except for the fact that they weren't chasing X Eggs anymore. Now Amu has finally graduated from High School.

"Thank you for the dinner and the gifts. I really liked them. But if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go on ahead. I have a lot of college prep I need to finish." Amu said as she got up from her chair.

"Of course Amu, you can go on ahead. We'll pay the restaurant bill and be on our way too." Amu's mom said as she reached into her purse.

"Amu, you've grown up so fast. You're going off to college real soon." Amu's father said with tears and a sniffle.

*Sweatdrop* "Okay, well, see you at home!"

"Phew, I'm finally outside. I don't know why but this whole day I had this feeling that I wanted to go outside. It just feels like something, no some things are waiting to happen when I step out." Amu thought to herself as she walked out of the heated restaurant and into the cool night air.

Thoughts and possibilities ran through Amu's head as she walked down the sidewalk. When she couldn't think of a good reason for her anxiety she sighed and decided to just enjoy the night. She felt refreshed as she strolled down the sidewalk with her four guardian characters.

"Amu, Congratulations!" The shugo characters said as they flew in front of her.

"Thanks guys. Sorry I couldn't really talk to guys when we were in the restaurant. So what should we do now? I finally graduated! Want to go to Yaya's house? She said she's having a party in her backyard today!"

The shugo characters looked at each other hesitantly. Then Ran smiled and said "Actually Amu I don't think we can make it."

"Huh? What do you mean we can't make it? If it's about college prep I'm actually almost done."

"It's not that Amu-chan." Su said with a calm face.

"Amu-chan, today………..High school isn't the only thing you're graduating from." Dia said.

"What?"

"Amu-chan, you're would be self. You've finally become……..you're would be self." Miki said as she stepped in.

"My would be self. You mean I've become my would be self?? How? When? Wait, does that mean you guys are leaving me?"

The shugo charas nodded with tearful smiles.

"Ah. Hm..." Amu stopped. "Well it's true I'm already eighteen. And shugo charas are supposed to be for kids. I guess I should be lucky that you guys stuck around with me for so long." Amu started to cry. "B-but it's still so sudden. I'm going to miss you guys….."

"Amu-chan we'll always be with you. Remember? We're who you want to be. We'll be with you always, just invisible!" Dia said.

"Hurray! Hurray! Amu-chan!" Ran chanted as she raised her little pom-poms in the air. "We'll be cheering for you from inside your heart! Your radiating heart!"

"We know you'll do great Amu-chan, despite how clumsy you can be." Miki said with a grin.

"You've gotten much better at so many things! You can even cook without character changing now!" Su said reassuringly.

"Guys……thank you…..for everything."

The shugo charas waved good-bye as they slowly went back into their eggs for the last time.

"Amu's heart! Unlock!" The charas said as they poofed into thin air.

Amu now stared at the blank space in front of her. She held back her tears and smiled as she turned to look up at the stars in the sky. She still couldn't believe what her shugo charas said. Has she really become her would be self?

"Amu"

Amu turned and saw a couple feet away a man with blue sleek hair and cat like eyes.

"Ikuto?"
