"Ami-chan, hurry up we're going to be late again!", Amu shouted from downstairs.

"I'm coming!", Ami replied, as she pulled on her knee high pink socks and ran down the stairs.

"Honestly, Ami. When will you learn to set your alarm?"

"When you stop getting up so early."

"I get up early to get you up so that you aren't late for the Guardians' morning briefing."

"If it wasn't for Hikaru-senpai, we wouldn't have the stupid morning briefing."

As the two sisters engaged in their argument, three small figures watched and giggled. The two sisters always got along except for when it came to being a Guardian. Ami was the present Joker at Seiyo Academy. She had two shugo charas, Melody and Akira. Melody resembled Utau, except she had blue eyes had a headset like Dia, and represented Ami's love for singing. Akira represented Ami's signature innocence and had light orange hair pulled into two curled ponytails and bright green eyes. She wore a light pink dress and had crystal barrettes in her hair.

"Amu-chan, Ami-chan. Let's go," Dia said.

"Okay," the two chorused.

As the girls approached Seiyo Academy, they noticed that all the students were stopped at the front gates. Sirens blasted as three fire trucks whizzed by the on looking students. Amu and Ami joined the students. Tsukasa-san walked up to Amu and whispered in her ear, "Part of the high school caught fire. No one knows how it started. You should wait here until your friends show up."

With that he walked off to help the teachers get the students into the school. Ami had gone off with her friends. But Melody and Akira remained.

"Ah, Himamori-san, it's been a while", Nikaido called out.

"It's Hinamori. Besides, don't you have a class to teach?", replied an annoyed Amu.

"The Chairman is taking over for me."

"Are sure that's okay? I mean, he could be telling your students lies."

"Well….uh-"

"Hey, Amu-chii!", Yaya exclaimed from across the street.

"Wow that was quick," Nikaido said looking at his watch.

"Nikaido-sensei! We chara nari-ed to get here", Yaya said sticking her tongue out.

"Okay, okay. Now if you'll follow me".

Nikaido led the way to the Royal Garden. The former Guardians followed in silence. Amu looked around as they walked. Nothing had changed from the time that they were also with her. A tear slid down her cheek. Dia, Melody, and Akira watched the single tear fall to the ground. Suddenly, the group heard the shattering of glass followed by screaming.

"MURI! MURI!", a many shrill voices exclaimed.

"X-eggs!", Kiseki shouted.

"Onee-chan!", Ami called to them.

"Ami-chan chara nari," Melody said flying over to her.

"Us too," Rima said.

"My own heart, UNLOCK!"

"Chara nari: Sky Jack!"

"Chara nari: Dear Baby!"

"Chara nari: Beat Jumper!"

"Chara nari: Clown Drop!"

"Chara nari: Platinum Royale!"

"Chara nari: Amulet Diamond!"
