Akari: Yes! It's time for what you've all been waiting for! A super long Shugo Chara Christmas One-Shot Edition! It is only 16 days until Christmas and only 9 more days until the Christmas holidays, so I'm very excited! I do not own Shugo Chara or any of its characters! This time Maxwell is coming into the fanfiction (Also known as MaxwellsFanFic) and so am I! :D It's all so exciting! What will happen?! Time for chapter 1 of my Shugo Chara One-Shot Christmas Edition called: Christmas Colours!

It was the last week of elementary school for Amu and all of the guardians, and Christmas was coming up really soon, in 9 days to be exact. So everyone was very excited to become middle schoolers, including a certain girl named Akari. Akari had long red hair and had odango buns. She was often described as a "beginner Otaku" But something strange had happened when she woke up on Monday morning, at first she thought that maybe she was dreaming when she found a strange looking egg on her bed; it was red with small black Japanese writing that was printed all over the egg. Since Akari was learning how to speak Japanese, she could read the writing. It said: Otaku.

She cautiously picked up the egg and when she held in her hand, it felt warm, as if something was growing inside it. Maybe it's a chicken egg or something… Akari thought, but it couldn't be, chicken eggs wouldn't be red with Japanese writing on them. Akari looked over to the clock on the wall, it was already 7:30am, she was going to be late for the bus! This always happens every morning for Akari, she sleeps through her 6:30 alarm, and when she wakes up she rushes around to get ready for school and often forgets something important and realises by the time she reaches the classroom.

She got changed into her uniform, brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, packed her bag full of books and when she finally got everything ready, the time was 7:55. Grabbing her bag with one hand, and carefully placing the mysterious egg in her pocket, she dashed through the house and left without having any breakfast, that usually happened every morning.

Akari bolted down the street and just as she reached her bus stop, the bus appeared from around the corner of the street and stopped in front of her and the doors swung open, she huffed and puffed as she stepped onto the school bus.

Akari's Pov

I flashed my bus pass at the driver and walked down the bus to try and find a seat. Usually all of the seats were filled and you had to awkwardly stand in the walkway until there was a free seat, and today was the same as every morning. Nowhere to sit. But then I noticed that there was one seat right up the back of the bus, and where a short boy with brown hair sat, he was staring into his bag with a worried look, since I really didn't feel like standing up since I was still exhausted from running down the street, I shyly asked if I could sit next to him. He lightly smiled and murmured a quick "Sure" then I sat down and I saw what he was intensely staring at. There was a small purple egg that had colourful stars all over it. "Hey…I have an egg like that too…" I whispered silently and somehow he heard me. "Really?" He seemed to have cheered up. I nodded and carefully pulled the red egg from my pocket and showed him. "Wow, your egg looks so cool…" His eyes sparkled with interest and I sweat dropped and placed my egg back into my pocket. "Oh that's right.." He smiled, "My name is Maxwell, I'm in year 6!"

"Oh really? I'm in year 6 too! But I've never seen you around in our year area though…" I replied, my shyness fading away. "Oh, that's because I came to this school a few days ago, and on my first morning that's when I found this egg on my bed..I wonder what it is…" I was about to reply when suddenly I heard a cute loud voice from behind our seat, Maxwell and I turned around to see a familiar girl I've seen a lot lately, she's in the ace position from the Guardians. I think her name was Yaya. "It's called a Shugo Chara Egg!" She peeked over our seat and smiled. "What's a Shugo Chara Egg? Do you mean this?" I asked quietly, loud enough so only her and Maxwell could hear. Then I pulled out my red egg from my pocket and showed her. Yaya's eyes opened wide. "So you both have one right?" We both nodded in unison. "Well when we get to school you should talk to Tadase-kun and Amu-chi and they can tell you more about them, but first we should get off the bus, it's our stop!" She squealed the last three words and I then realised I had totally forgotten about getting off the bus, I looked around and the whole bus was empty. I quickly grabbed my bag and flew to the front of the bus "Stop stop!" I yelled in my 'quiet yelling voice' all three of us sighed with relief as the bus drove off and we walked into the gates of the school. That was a close one…

I stood there with my mouth hanging open as we stood in front of the Royal Garden. I had never seen the Royal Garden before; it was so colourful with the most flowers I had ever seen in my life. "Come on Akari-chi, Amu-chi and the others are waiting for you!" I snapped back from my daydream and noticed that Maxwell and Yaya were already about to enter while I was just staring into space. "Oops sorry.." I blushed and ran to them, then we entered the doors and I was even more amazed. The Royal Garden really did live up to its name; it was so fancy, as if royalty was living here. It was decorated with Christmas decorations, it was so colourful. Then I saw the guardians that I've seen so often when we had they had held meetings in assembly. They all sat at the table which was in the middle of the huge place. Tadase, Amu, Rima, and Nagihiko all looked up from what looked like paperwork that they were filling out and smiled at us which made me blush. "Hey guys! I've found two more people who have Guardian Chara Eggs! Yaya crossed her arms over her chest and struck a proud pose which made Maxwell chuckle.

Then the guardians introduced themselves and it was as though the whole thing was planned since it was so organized. Tadase stood up from his chair and bowed , "I'm Hotori Tadase, and I am in the King's position. Pleased to meet you"

"I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko, I am in the Jack's position. Pleased to meet you"

"I'm Mashiro Rima, I'm in the Queen's position. Pleased to meet you"

"I'm Hinamori Amu, I'm in the Joker position. Pleased to meet you"

After all of the guardians finished introducing themselves, Yaya jumped over to stand next to them and smiled wide. "And I'm Yuiki Yaya! I'm in the Ace position!"

It was all so organized, I wonder if they rehearsed this, but they didn't know we were coming so they probably didn't. That's how impressive the Guardians are. "I'm Maxwell, pleased to meet you" Maxwell bowed. There was a moment of silence as everyone turned to look at me. I realised that they were waiting for me to introduce myself. "O-oh uh.. I-I'm Akari Akaza, p-pleased to meet you.." I felt myself blush; I can't stand talking in front of crowds or being the centre of attention.

"What are those floating people?" Maxwell broke the silence as he pointed to the little floating people. I wonder what they are. "These are Guardian Chara's, they hatch from Shugo Chara Eggs, and since you both have gotten one that means your chara will be born soon. Guardian Chara's are who you want to be, you're would be self." Amu explained. "Oh…" I murmured silently. They sound really interesting; I wonder what mine will be like…

Then all of the chara's floated towards us, "I'm Ran!" She had pink hair, held pom poms and had a heart shape on her hat. "I'm Miki!" She had blue hair, held a pencil and notebook and had a spade shape on her hat. "I'm Suu-desu!" She had green hair, wore a green poofy dress and had a clover shape on her hat. "I'm Dia" She had orange hair, wore yellow clothes and had two small diamond shapes on her headband. "I'm Kusukusu! She had blonde hair, and wore clown clothes. "I am Kiseki and I am KING!" He had purple hair, and looked a lot like a king. "I'm Pepe-dechu" She had brown hair, and looked a lot like a baby. "Yo, I'm Rhythm" He had purple hair and looked like a rapper.

"Wait…Does anyone hear a cracking sound?" Maxwell asked. Everyone looked around and shrugged. "I hear it!" I exclaimed, "It's coming from my pocket…" I reached into my pocket and took out my egg; it had a crack through the middle and started to glow. "M-my Guardian Chara is hatching!" Everyone gasped and gathered to watch the birth of a new Guardian Chara.

*Crack..*

Then poof, a Guardian Chara burst out of the egg she smiled just like a cat would. She had short red hair, and had red cat ears. She wore a black and white maid's outfit and had a long red cat tail. "My name is Tsukasa!" Tsukasa exclaimed. "Ooohh's" were heard from everyone as they all observed Tsukasa. Then Tsukasa's face turned as red as her hair and floated over to perch on top of my head and she nuzzled into my hair. Then everyone laughed. "She's just like Akari-chi!" Yaya giggled. Everyone agreed. Tsukasa and I both blushed.

XxX

I sat in class and stared out the window, it was too bad that Maxwell and the others aren't in my class, but at least I have Tsukasa now.. I smiled at Tsukasa who was lazily lying on top of my desk. "Hey Tsukasa, so your my would be self huh?" I whispered. Tsukasa sat up and swished her tail. "Yep, your dream is to become a better Otaku right?" I nodded and she smiled. "So…What is an Otaku anyway?" She asked. I looked around the room just to check no one was watching me, otherwise it would look kinda random if I was just whispering to myself, before replying. "An Otaku is a person who really loves anime and manga. They also really love vocaloid, and everything Japanese. They also love to collect anime and manga and they love to cosplay!"

"That sounds like so much fun! But what is cosplay?" I sighed and explained. "Cosplaying is when you dress up as your favourite character from an anime,manga or game and you go to this special expo where lots of other people cosplay as well, and you can buy a ton of anime and other things there too!" I whispered with sparkly eyes.

"Awesome!" Tsukasa now was swishing her tail faster as she became more interested. "Oh that reminds me, do you want to see what your chara change is like Akari-chan?" "Huh, what's a chara change?" I asked. "I'll show you.." Then Tsukasa floated up in the air and clicked her fingers while saying, "Chara Change!" Then red cat ears appeared on my head and a red tail appeared and it felt like I was being controlled, like I had no control of my actions. My body shot up like a pistol and I stood up from my seat abruptly, everyone stared at me which made me sweat drop, but I couldn't sit back down for some reason, it was so weird. "Sir!" I almost died of embarrassment because I was practically shouting across the room. "W-what is it Akari?"

"Why are we learning this confusing Math when we could be learning about the history of Japan and studying Anime?" I asked as I leapt across the tables with precise movements just like a cat. Then I jumped off a table and landed right in front of the teacher and stared at him in the eye, he sweat dropped. Then my cat ears and tail disappeared and I could control myself again, I couldn't believe I acted that way when I was chara changed. "I-I'm so sorry sir, I-I don't know what happened… Please forgive me.." I bowed and hoped that I wouldn't be in too much trouble. I heard the small chuckles of a certain red chara floating beside me.

Unfortunately, I was asking for forgiveness to the meanest teacher in the school, so I don't think even he would let this one slide. "Go to the principal's office NOW!" He yelled and pointed to the door. I sighed and slowly walked out while all eyes were on me; this was the first time that I had ever been yelled at by a teacher before.

"I-I'm sorry Akari-chan, I didn't know that would happen…" Tsukasa looked down at her feet and blushed. It wasn't usually in my nature to get angry like this, but I promised myself that I wouldn't get angry at Tsukasa, no matter what. "It's okay, it wasn't your fault.." I sighed.

The bell rang for lunchtime and me and Tsukasa walked to our year area, I spotted Maxwell sitting on a bench so I went over and sat with him, he was reading a letter and smiling to himself. "Hey Maxwell!" I chirped, Tsukasa smiled. "Hey…" He didn't look up from reading the letter so I peered over and read it too.

Dear Maxwell

Since you have a guardian chara egg, and Akari has a guardian chara, you have both been invited to the Royal Garden so you can hang out with us at Recess and Lunchtimes. Since it is the last week until Christmas holidays you can come if you wish.

Also, I would like to explain briefly about Guardian Chara's. Only a selected few can see Guardian Chara's, and if you can then that means you have the potential to give birth to a Guardian Chara Egg. Which means if you talk to your Guardian Chara in public then people might think you're talking to yourself…So please be careful. Also, once in a while, children give up on their true dreams, the dreams that they are most passionate about. If that happens then their heart egg turns into an X egg. X eggs are black eggs that have a big white X on them; they can cause people a lot of trouble if left alone. That is why the Guardians exist. We use our Guardian Chara's to transform and stop the X eggs before things get out of hand. If you or Akari ever see an X egg, then please inform either me or Hinamori-san so we can deal with it. If you have any other questions please come to the Royal Garden and ask us.

We all await your company.

~Hotori Tadase

"Well, wanna go to the Royal Garden then?" Maxwell asked, I then noticed that he was watching me read the letter, I blushed and nodded, then we both walked to the Royal Garden and the whole way there, Tsukasa was explaining what Vocaloid was to Maxwell.

When we arrived there, yet again I was in awe of how colourful the place was, then a familiar voice called our names. "Akari-chi and Maxwell-kun are here-e-e-e-e-e!" It was no doubt Yaya's voice. We walked into the building of the Royal Garden and all of the guardians were sitting at the table and in front of them were cakes, tarts, cookies, every sort of pastry you could imagine. "That looks greattt!" Tsukasa cheered as she floated over to the table and dove straight into the strawberry shortcake. We all laughed.

By the end of lunchtime, my stomach felt like it was about to explode. Maxwell probably felt the same way, but in his case, I think he ate way too much. He even vomited half of what he ate, I felt sorry for him.

Afterwards, when the bell rang, we all said our goodbyes and departed for our classes. Amu, Rima and Tadase were in one class. Yaya, Maxwell, and Nagihiko were in another class. Then there was me, none of the guardians or Maxwell was in my class, but I still have Tsukasa with me.

I stared at the clock and sighed, there was still another hour until school was over for the day, I honestly just felt like having a sleep, but my teacher might yell at me again, so instead I just stared out the window. Then I saw something strange float past, outside the window. It looked like a Guardian Chara Egg, but it was black and had a big X on it…

Wait…I remember hearing about those in Tadase's letter…

They can cause people a lot of trouble if left alone. If you or Akari ever see an X egg, then please inform either me or Hinamori-san so we can deal with it.

I softly tapped Tsukasa on the shoulder and she woke up from her nap. "Nyaaa, what is it Akari-chan?" Tsukasa yawned and rubbed her eye, "Oh wait—I sense an X egg! What should we do?" Akari quickly put up her hand and luckily the teacher noticed it. "Yes?" He asked, everyone in the class stared at me which made me blush. "U-uh, could I please go to the toilet?" The teacher looked up at the clock and sighed, "Fine, but be quick" I sighed with relief and me and Tsukasa quickly walked out of the classroom.

Where would Amu-chan or Tadase-kun be? "Hey Akari-chan, I might be able to sense where Amu-chan's Guardian Chara's are, so then we can tell her!" I patted Tsukasa on the head and smiled, "Good thinking!" Tsukasa closed her eyes for a few seconds and then she pointed towards the west. "This way!" I quickly followed her down the hall and around some corners and then we reached Amu's class. Her class had P.E, which was lucky for me since I could just slip in and ask her. "Amu-chan!" I called out to her but she was too far away, and was playing soccer too. "Tsukasa, could you go get her for me?"

"Sure thing!" Tsukasa chirped and flew over to Amu and tapped her on the shoulder, then they both came over to where I was hiding, behind a tree. "What's up Akari-chan?" Amu asked, she hid behind the tree as well. "Um, well during my class I saw a X egg fly by, so I thought I should tell you.." Amu's eyes opened wide, "You should have told me earlier! Quick let's go!" Amu and her 4 charas ran off and me and Tsukasa quickly ran after them.

I followed Amu and her 4 chara's out to an open field where the X egg was tearing apart trees from their roots and destroying of the flower beds. "This is terrible-desu!" Suu exclaimed. "Is there anything we can do to help Amu-chan?" I asked, "You should try and chara change!" Amu smiled then she chara changed with Suu. "My heart: Unlock!" "Character Transformation: Amulet Clover!" She looked just like Suu. "I-I guess I could try…" I murmured, "It's okay Akari-chan, I know how to, so just relax!" I thought back to when Amu had transformed so I copied her actions. "M-my heart: Unlock!" Then Tsukasa flew into her egg and floated into my chest, it felt a little weird. Then my body started to glow then…Poof! Tsukasa then told me what to say next. "Character Transformation: RedApple Otaku!" I wore a black and white maid's outfit, a white lacy headband, red cat ears, a red cat tail, and red paw slippers. "H-huh? What's a RedApple Otaku?" I wondered aloud. "It's the name of your character transformation!" Ran exclaimed. "O-oh cool.." I blushed.

"That's weird…I can hear what the X egg is saying.." Tsukasa said from her chara egg. "Wow, that's amazing. Usually guardian chara's can't understand the X eggs." Amu looked amazed. "…It says that he wants to be a gardener, but his friends say that guys shouldn't garden because it's too girly. So he just gave up.." Tsukasa said. "Impossible…." The X egg pouted. "It doesn't matter if your friends think it's girly! If you really want to be a gardener, then you should just do it!" Amu sounded really mature. The X egg looked surprised then it pulled a huge tree from the ground and launched it towards Amu. Then a whisk appeared and she swirled it around, "Remake Honey!" All of the flowers and trees were magically replanted.

But while Amu was looking away, she didn't notice a huge tree trunk was coming her way. "Oh no, what should I do Tsukasa?!" I thought, then I heard her voice in my head reply to me. "Use your special move called Chibi Devils!"

She then told me how to use it, and sure enough it worked. I swung my arm up into the air and hundreds of chibi devils which looked like X chara's flew from my hand and they smashed the trunk in half. Amu was amazed but shocked at the same time. Then Amu made a love heart shape out of her hands and faced the X egg who was sweat dropping.

"Negative Heart: Lock on! Open Heart!" Then multiple colours surrounded her and flew towards the X egg, making a love heart appear behind the egg. Then the blackness of the X egg faded, and it turned into a white egg with a small love heart in the centre. That must be a heart egg...

Then the heart egg flew off into the distance. I smiled and then suddenly, Poof! My character transformation disappeared and I was back to my normal school uniform.

A few days had passed and me and Maxwell, along with the guardians, sat in the Royal Garden. We were all planning a Christmas party in the Royal Garden, and all of the guardians, the graduated guardians, me and Maxwell, and even some guy named Ikuto and his sister was allowed to attend. It was planned to be held on Christmas Eve. I laughed a little when this guy named Ikuto was mentioned, Amu's bored face brightened up and she blushed. We all laughed.

XxX

It was finally Christmas Eve, Me and Tsukasa were so excited for the Christmas Eve party that was going to be held in an hour. I got dressed into my reindeer onesie, and Tsukasa and I headed out towards the Royal Garden. Luckily for me, school was pretty close by so I decided to walk there, even though I was really early, maybe I could help with the decorations or something.

I walked through the school gates and saw that the Royal Garden had been decorated on the outside with hundreds of fairy-lights, it was practically glowing. For some reason, my heart beat sped up as I approached the entrance, probably because there was a boy, who I assumed to be Ikuto, who waited outside, he looked at me and my face went bright red.

I focused my attention the front door, just so I would stop blushing, but when I tried to open it, the door was firmly shut. I felt so embarrassed; I had to wait outside with Ikuto...

Not that he's a bad person or anything, but I haven't even met him before, or spoke with him, it's just...I get really nervous around any boys, I blush and stutter and do the most—"You must be Akari..." Ikuto smirked just like a cat would. I quickly looked up from looking at my feet and blushed. "U-uh, y-yes I'm Akari..." Then a blue cat-like Guardian Chara appeared from behind Ikuto and floated over to Tsukasa. "You must be a cat too-nya!" Tsukasa blushed as well and nodded. The whole situation was just so...Nerve-racking...

Then I heard a familiar voice and I sighed with relief, Maxwell had shown up just in time before I do anything else that is embarrassing. "Akari Akari! My Guardian Chara Egg is hatching!" He ran up to me with his egg in his hands, it was glowing a faint purple and had a huge crack through the middle. Me, Maxwell and Ikuto watched as slowly...slowly it hatched.

Then poof! A girl Guardian Chara broke free of its egg; she had purple hair, blue eyes, a white jacket and black pants. "My name is Aki!" She exclaimed, we were all so confused. "What, why are you a girl?" Maxwell asked. "Not sure why..." Aki replied and grinned. "That's weird..Maybe you should ask the little kiddy-king why.." Ikuto said from behind me, I almost forgot he was there, so my blush returned to my face.

XxX

The christmas party had begun after we had waited for everyone to arrive, everyone was shocked about Maxwell's Guardian Chara. And apparently, the reason why Maxwell does have a girl Guardian chara is because his dream is to become more girly. I couldnt help but laugh my head off, and so did everyone else, everyone except Maxwell.

So that was the day where I, Akari Akaza, broke free of my shyness around everyone. I was even happier to hear from Tsukasa that she could help me become a better Otaku, i just couldnt wait until I was older. Who knows what would happen...

Akari: Okay minna, i cant do this Authors note in bold because for one thing, this library computer doesnt even have a mouse and im too shy to ask for one, and im having a hard time writing because this keyboard is sooo stiff! Damn it! And another thing, i know this one-shot isnt that long, its only 1000 more words than i usually write, but i am sick of writing on this damn computerrrrr! D;

This will most likely have a sequal because i feel bad for ending it there, and its not much of a Christmas story, only a tiny bit at the end... OK, SO JUST BEAR WITH ME! AND PLEASE REVIEW! IM OFF TO WATCH ANIME TO RELIEF MY ANGER ON THIS STUPID COMPUTERRRRRR! Ja ne!
