Sachiko: God. I hate school so much

Amu: Why is that?

Sachiko: I got a fucking 23 out of 100 on my math test because of the god damn sub. He kepted switching our seats and yelled at us when we got into the wrong seat which he 'assigned' us to.

Ikuto: Sounds really stupid, Sachiko...

Sachiko: Sounds FUCKING stupid!

Amu: You must be angry...

Sachiko: I need to retake the damn thing because we had 20 minutes left in class and I couldn't stay after because the fucking teacher is the sub and he said that he had somewhere he had to be and I take the fucking bus! And 23 out of 100 is NEVER good! Considering my b went to a d, yes! it's bad!

Ikuto: You gotta calm down and get on with the story Sachiko. No one cares about your problems -.-

Sachiko: Amu, Ikuto is gonna be paired with Tada-gay now.

Amu: I always knew he was gay (O.O)

Ikuto: HELL NO

Sachiko: HELL YES!

Rima: Sachiko doesn't own anything

Amu POV

I smiled widely at the surprise my wonderful family and friends presented me with. My college graduation was yesterday but today my mom just suddenly wanted to throw me a surprise party. "MY LITTLE SPARROW IS GROWING UP!" Papa yelled. My 14-year-old sister wailed dramatically, "Onee-Chan! Never forget us!"

I laughed and hugged them lovingly, "I'm only 21," I told them, "It is not like I'm going to get married next month!"

Papa gasped, "DON'T LEAVE PAPA FOR SOME BOY! AMU-CHAN!~" Mama sighed and lightly placed a hand on Papa's shoulder. "I'm very proud of you Amu-chan." She put up her wrinkly yet beautiful smile while her eyes twinkled with pride.

I felt as if my tears were going to explode any minute now until I felt a small tug on my right sleeve. "congrats, Amu." I bent down to see my old friend, Rima Mashiro, smiling exciting at me.

Her blonde hair was lightly curled and cute little dimples formed when she smiled. "Rima! I haven't seen you in forever!" I pulled her into a tight hug which she gladly accepted.

"I missed you too."

After letting go, Rima and I made a short confersation 'til it was interuppted by soft, warm pair of arms; wrapping itself around my waist. I gasped suddenly and spun around, but only to see my idiot cousin; Kukai. Next to him was my old crush, Tadase. His blonde hair was still in the same style as it used to be but abit longer. His smiled never dimmed from elementry, yet now I saw him as a close friend.

Standing on Kukai's right, was a purple haired lad. His kind yellow eyes glowed brightly to make his smile perfect. The man I once thought was once a beautiful girl turned out to be a musclular man.

"Yo!" My cousin greeted with his green eyes filled with happiness.

"Kukai-nee! Tadase! Nagihiko!~"

I gave each of them a comforting hug and a short peak on the cheek for Kukai.

"Don't scare me like that again or pay the coincenquences." I said with narrowed eyes. The brunette shivered but none the less, ruffled my hair.

Nagihiko quietly whisphered a congratulations in my ear while Tadase simply gave me a present.

"DING DONG! KNOCK KNOCK! YAYA WANTS TO SEE AMU-CHII!" The group turned to the front door and sweat-dropped at Yaya's determanation at knocking.

I swung open the door revealing Kairi scowling at Yaya yelling 'Knock knock' instead of actually knocking.

"Amu-chii! Yaya missed you so much!" The childish woman yelled frantically. She rushed to give me a hug and smiled.

Oh how much I loved my caring friends.

The party ended sucessfully. Nagihiko and Rima was the last to leave and Kukai decided to sleep-over.

"Thank you for inviting us, Amu-chan!" Nagihiko said as he gave me one last hug.

"Hurry up, girly-boy. Your my ride home tonight and I'm exhausted." Rima stated coldly causing Nagihiko to sweat-drop.

"See you later, Amu-chan. Text me or call me later since I'm free this Saturday."

"Bye Rima! Bye Nagi-kun! See you soon!" I yelled as they drove off.

"Thank you for coming, Rima-Chan and Nagihiko-kun!" I suddenly felt a warm hand gripping my shoulder. Slowly, I turned and saw Mama smiling with tear-filled eyes.

She closed the front door and embraced me with a loving hug. "My baby! Your growing up so fast!~"

I rolled my eyes but returned the hug.

"Now, help me clean up the house a bit. Your grandmother is coming over soon and you know how she hates big messes." Mama told me, braking the hug.

I could have sworn my skin turned whiter than snow. "That woman hates me!" I yelled frantically.

"Who hates you Hinormori?" A low, sleepy voice slurred on the couch. "KUKAI! HURRY AND HIDE! GRANDMOTHER HINORMORI IS COMING OVER!" I yelled.

Honestly, that woman was so scary and strict, even Kukai my 'Brave and strong' cousin scared her.

Kukai's green eyes flashed open and immediately jumped off the couch.

"Holy shi-" My older cousin cut off by a screech of terror. "MOTHER'S COMING TODAY?" Papa ran down the stairs smoothing out his spiky hair. He had a dress suit on and a brief case in his right hand.

"Papa, why are you dressed liked that?" I asked. "Papa has to look his best when your grandmother is coming over. She says 'Even photographers' have to look their best!' and if papa doesn't then Papa's in trouble." He explained.

He than turned to Mama and started to complain, "MAMA! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?"

"Now isn't the time, sweety. Mother is arriving in ten minutes!" Mama spoke calmly as she wiped the windows.

She cleared her voice and spoke in a demanding voice, "AMU, AMI, KUKAI, PAPA, HELP CLEAN. Amu, your cooking and cleaning the kitchen. Papa, the Living room. Kukai, the bathrooms and Ami, make the presents!"

We sweat-dropped at mama's demanding side. "QUIET WASTING TIME!" she yelled.

The four of us quickly scattered away into our positions. Ten minutes finally passed and as predicted, the door bell rang.

Papa quickened his pace, mama looked stress, Kukai began cussing under his breath, and Ami calmly skipped to the front door.

My cooking wasn't fully done so instead, I got the appetizer.

"Quick! Act normal!" Mama hissed in a stressful tone.

'If that's even normal...'

Mama, papa, Kukai, and I gathered in front the door while Ami opened it.

At this moment, I'm wishing I had some sort of teleportation power to teleport away from here.

"Grandmother!" We greeted with fake smiles. "Ah, Amu-chan." she said, giving Ami a hug.

"Hello, Ami-chan. Congratulations for graduating college." She gave me a small hug as well.

I sweat-dropped. "Um.. Grandmother, I am Amu-chan. My little sister is Ami."

The elder whacked me with her paper fan she drew out of no where, "Don't correct your elders!"

She turned to Kukai and studied him for a while. Finally with a small 'Hmm...' she turned away. My cousin let out a sigh with relief.

"Don't think your 'off the hook', Kukai. I told you last Christmas, I don't want to see your hair style ever again. We'll have a talk about that soon."

He went rigid, "O-of course, Grandmother."

Finally, she stared at mama and papa with a disapproving glare. "I told you before Tsumugu. I want my Grand children to have good manners. Now look how they turned out!"

Mama winced, "I'm very sorry, mother. It is not Tsumugu-koi's fault. It's mine for not showing them manners."

"I assume so. Now, let's take a seat, shall we? I have important news and I won't stay long since I got a meeting soon." The elder said.

We all silently cheered.

"So Ami-chan." she turned to me with her pale golden eyes staring straight at me. I did what any normal person would do, gulp.

"Y-yes?" I replied slowly.

"What is your plans for being successful in the future?"

The question caught me off gaurd.

"H-huh? What was that, Grandmother?"

"What would you like to be when you grow up, Ami-chan?" The elder asked, a bit impatient.

"O-oh! W-well I would like to be a counselor." I replied.

"Why is that? Is there a reason you would like to be a counselor?"

I smiled lightly, "Of course there is a reason. When I'm a counselor, I get to help k ids realise their dreams. What they want to be when they grow up."

Memories of Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia flashed in my mind. Currently, they were in the hospital. The for of them having some type of illness.

Ran always told me she was going to grow up to be the best athete in the world with her crippled legs.

Suu told me she was going to be the number one chief and someday visit France.

Miki said she was going to be an amazing artist with her loss of memory.

And Dia smiled and said she was going to follow in the famous singers and one day become an beautiful singer.

All wonderful choses they could freely choice. All wanting to be something special. Yet, faith had different plains for them.

With Ran's crippled legs, she couldn't run, nor walk. The most she could to was cheer, smile, laugh, and at times, stand.

Miki could only faint if she tried too hard to think of a way to draw better or even think of what to draw. And at times, she would lose her memory.

Suu was half blind. With her left eye, she could see clearly, and yet, her right was blind. When she tried to prepare for a meal she would try to make, she would most likely get burned.

Dia? Well, she had lung cancer and trouble with breathing. Though she would smile and say it was nothing, I would shake my head and sadly stop her from her singing and tell her to rest.

I frowned. "Well, Ami-chan. I would like to tell you some fabulous news."

My frown deepened slightly, 'fabulous news' usually ment horrible or maybe worse news. I slowly glanced at Mama, who frowned, and papa, who was nervously bitting his nails.

Kukai caught my worried look and smiled to reassure me. I secretly wish I could just disappear and live in Africa at the moment.

Africa... that sounds nice...

Finally... I gulped, "W-what i-is it, g-g-grandmother?"

She smiled, "Why so tense, dear?"

That smile never ment anything good. Oh no.

"Now, the news might shook you a bit so, I'll say it fast."

I gulped again, and again, and again. "O-o-o-o-o-o-k... I am r-r-r-ready..."

She grinned this time, "In about a month, your getting married to the one and only, Ikuto Tsukiyomi.

Damn, I knew something bad was gonna happen.

Sachiko: Yes everyone, I know my grammar is horriable so just do NOT rub it in how your grammar is better than mine.

Amu:... ok?

Sachiko: Do NOT rub it in Amu

Amu: Ok

Sachiko: I said DONT RUB IT IN!

Amu: O.o

Ikuto: Still mad about the whole sub thing? you need to smile :D

Sachiko: DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO

Ikuto: Amu you call the doctors or the police

Amu: ON IT!

Rima: It is up to you if you still want Sachiko to continue on with the story or not. This will stay rated T and will not go any higher since Sachiko is not comforable writing rated M ones... So deal with it or die. R&R or I'll push you off a cliff... for fun!
