Kitsu: Hello people, I'm Kitsu, the beta of this story, typing the conversation part since Lena didn't bother to do it herself.
Lena: I was working on this for a long time and it was late! T_T
Kitsu: Anyway, some of you may be migrating here after you saw 10 Things to Do, so you're familiar with the routine. For the new ones, hi.
Lena: C'mon Kitsu-chan you can be nicer then that you meanie!
Amu: I agree with Lena, you should be nicer, and what did you mean by typing?
Kitsu: Just forget the Fourth Wall breaking Amu. So there are these conversations that anyone who the Power That Is wants to join does, and we just talk and sometimes allude to what's coming next.
Lena: Yup! ^^ And the reason that Ikuto's not here so we can have Amuto fluff the entire story is 'cause Kitsu-chan thinks that we're better off without Ikuto's pervertedness toward Amu! That and she's getting tired of me making Amu blush all the time. -_-
Amu: I am too.
Kitsu: You guys probably read the summary so you know what my Amuto obsessed friend conjured in her strange mind. Also, Shugo Chara does not belong to Lena thankfully. I'm not betaing all of that!
Lena: You know… Maybe I shouldn't let you type the conversation Kitsu-chan…
A magical chime drifted into my dream and created a path to consciousness. I slowly opened my eyes to see wispy clouds in the sky, the rays of the morning sun washing the green grass beside me. A caressing breeze and another chime brought me to my feet. Closing my eyes, I concentrated on the sound, detecting where it was coming from.
"What's that sound? The Humpty Lock?" I mumbled to myself as I looked at the towering Seiyo academy in the distance.
"Yoru," I addressed my guardian character as he flew beside me. "We're going to make a short trip to Seiyo."

The Humpty Lock was now in my possession. So was the Dumpty Key. It was pretty easy, sneaking in from the roof and taking the lock. There wasn't even a seal or anything. That's how stupid the kid (Tadase) was.
I was about to go back when I sensed a chara and two guardian eggs. The chances of one of them being the Embryo was slight but I needed to take any chance there was to get it, so I made my way to where they were, a construction site.
From below, I saw a girl thrashing about in the air. It was pretty amusing, watching her freak out while obliviously posing in the sky.
I hopped up onto a steel beam, keeping my eyes on her every move. Her guardian chara now took over and was bringing her to the highest spot on the site. I got to the top just as she was glaring at her chara, who was doing some sort of cheering, while hugging the iron post.
She almost looked as weird as that kiddy king. Pink hair—that was a weird colour. Well, I guess I shouldn't be talking since I had blue hair, but pink just seemed so…girly. Another trait she and the kid shared.
They noticed me just as I landed on the crane, jumping off to land on the highest beam.
"Hmm… so you're a Character Bearer." She seemed to be a newbie, since I'd never seen her before and she still looked shocked at seeing her chara.
"Huh? Another weirdo?" she seemed to be speaking to herself, but made it clear she didn't care if I heard or not. "And this one has cat ears."
I walked closer to her and I saw her leaning back against the post.
"W-What?" She glared at me when I sniffed the air around her.
"Seems you have more eggs."
"Two of 'em," Yoru added.
"W-Who are you guys?" she shouted.
Her guardian character flew up in front of her as if she could be some sort of shield.
"Be careful Amu-chan! These guys are after your—"
I easily flicked her out of the way, hearing a yelp as she shot quite a distance from the girl, who I know knew was called Amu. Amu turned around in the direction of which her chara flew.
Perfect. She wouldn't dare let go of the metal post now that I knew how scared she was of heights. I could get those eggs and leave.
I leaned in behind her. "So, your name is Amu?"
She turned around to look at me and I saw that her cheeks were starting to flush a rosy pink at how close I was. My hands moved to her waist, sliding down so that they dug into the pockets of her uniform.
"Kya! Don't touch me there you jerk!" She flailed her arms in the air, trying to get me away. I kept on searching.
"Found them." I pulled back and smirked as I held up the two eggs, one blue and one green, that I'd found.
"Give them back you egg thief!" That annoying chara was back again. She looked just like her owner, pink hair and that side ponytail hairstyle. Did that girl want to be a cheerleader? What a stupid dream.
"Looks like they're about to be born," I told them as I sniffed the eggs.
"And we have the Humpty Lock too!" Yoru exclaimed while clutching at the golden lock. "We got quite the haul today, nya!" He started to fly away. "Ikuto, let's go."
"Yeah."
I turned around and walked across the steel beam so steadily that it was as if I was walking on the ground. My cat tail swung behind me. The girl shouted something that sounded like a "Wait!" but I ignored her. Like hell I was gonna give back those eggs now that I had them.
"What are you doing to my eggs?" She shouted and I was shocked to turn around and see her running at me, running on the narrow steel beam.
My eyes were still widened as she knocked the eggs out of my grasp and jumped to get them, falling off the site.
"Amu-chan!" Her chara flew after her as I stared in awe. Who would risk their life just to save those eggs? How could they be more important than our own life?
"She fell," Yoru pointed out the obvious.
As I stared down at her, falling and getting closer and closer to the ground, I suddenly had the urge to jump down and save her. I didn't though. But that feeling was so strong, I had to do everything I could to keep my feet planted firmly on the steel beam. And I didn't take my eyes off her, as if somehow my gaze could act as a cushion for her landing.
Ikuto what the hell are you doing? That weird girl has nothing to do with you! Don't jump down…don't jump… don't jump…

I lay on the roof of my house, staring up at the dark evening sky. The stars were twinkling beside a glowing crescent moon. It was a perfect day to take my violin and go into the forest but I had to find a way to get that damn Humpty Lock.
The girl that I met earlier—Amu—turned out to have the ability to do a Character Transformation. And she had this weird link to the lock, which meant she was pretty powerful. That meant I'd have to go through a lot more to get the Humpty Lock since it was now in her possession.
If that kiddy king hadn't arrived, I probably would've gotten that lock, might've gotten the Embryo and left that goddamned Easter.
But if he hadn't come, wouldn't that girl be dead by now? Would I have saved her? Would I have saved the girl that I had nothing to do with at all—the girl that probably considered me as an enemy (a perverted one, at that)?
I couldn't help but think back to that sudden feeling I'd felt towards her—that I'd had the urge to save her from falling. A sudden feeling that if I'd let her die, I wouldn't forgive myself. What was that weird girl doing to me…?
I shoved that away for another time, but not before remembering her name.
The chara said her name was Amu. What a weird, yet strangely pretty name.
Lena: And their love begins… XD
Amu: Lena-chan, did you really have to write about that?
Lena: Yup! ^^
Ikuto: Yo Amu-koi.
Amu: Hi Ikuto-kun!
Lena: You're back Ikuto… anyways, does this story satisfy you?
Ikuto: If you add a kiss, then yes ^^
Lena: Well, you never know. Maybe I might… :) Oh, and where's Kitsu-chan?
Amu: Ran away from the fluffiness I bet…
Lena: Whatever. Please R&R!
