Amu groaned, a loud ringing erupted from beside her. She raised her hand and waved it, hitting a rather hard metallic object on her sidetable, knocking it off with a crash. She jolted up from her bed, her hair possible to be mistaken for a bird's nest, a pink bird's nest that is.

"W-What was that?" She yawned, scratching her head and tossed the comforter to the side. "M-My alarm clock, Oh no."

Cradling the small metal object in her petite hands, she huffed. "It was your fault; you shouldn't have rang so loudly."

Amu sighed and placed the clock back to its position on the table, her calendar caught her attention and she warily approached it, examining the pink highlighted date. 24.

Her eyes enlightened and she beamed brightly, running towards her window, she slid it open and released a huge amount of squealing and screaming. "TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY."

Panting slightly, she grabbed her phone, the small strawberry keychain jiggling as she started jumping on her bed before falling down on it with a huge grin on her face. "It's my birthday."

She flipped her pink phone and opened her inbox, receiving a few messages from Utau and the rest. But, what caught her attention was Tadase's and she excitedly opened it, having breathing problems as she read it.

Amu,

This is Tadase, but you probably have my number saved. Anyway, I really need to talk to you. I have to tell you something really important.

Let's meet up at the café at 9 am, alright? I'll wait for you.

Oh, and Happy Birthday.

-Tadase.

Amu's smile faded for a split second before she cheered back up. "Tadase greeted me, oh, my gosh."

Yet she couldn't take off from her mind why Tadase seemed so formal, as if they weren't even a couple. And he didn't even bother writing down 'xoxo' like what he usually does. Ah, she shouldn't worry too much. Today was her birthday; she should be enjoying her day especially since it only comes by once a year. Oh, and Tadase asked her out on a date, that's something she should really be happy about.

Staring at the screen, Amu caught glimpse of the time. 8:45.

"25 minutes? Oh no." Amu quickly panicked, jumping off her bed, she grabbed hold of her cabinet's handles and flung the doors open, grabbing her clothes and throwing them behind her until they ended up as a bundle on the floor. "I can't find anything to wear, argh."

"What do I do?" Amu paced back and forth, fiddling with her fingers. "What do I do?"

After awhile of pacing around her messed up room, she whirled around and saw something caught on her drawers, immediately she pulled it open and a black shirt with a printing of a blue cat was folded neatly inside, a red plaid skirt along with it.

"T-This is…" Amu stammered, puzzled as to when she placed the clothing in there. "This is what Ikuto gave me before."

Blinking furiously, she grabbed the clothing and threw it on her bed, racing towards the bathroom with a pink, strawberry printed towel in hand.

"Her birthday, huh?" Ikuto grinned, flicking off the cigarette with his fingers. "I didn't notice she would've been 15 that fast."

"So, would you visit her?" Kukai leaned on the worn out couch, playing with his soccer ball.

"Well, why the fuck not?" He clicked his tongue, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I'll be going out, don't do anything to my sister or I'll kill you."

"I think I might be dead before you even have the chance to kill me, Utau's crazy you know." The brunette burst out laughing.

"I won't argue with that, it runs in the family." Ikuto smirked, slamming his door shut behind him.

"Wah, I'll be late if I don't hurry." Amu shrieked, brushing her hair in a rather fast pace. "Wait, will Mama and Papa be fine with this?"

Suddenly turning silent, Amu shook her head and headed out her room, running down the stairs two steps at a time. Amu stopped abruptly at the foot of the stairs. It was dark and empty, Amu roamed around, peeking inside the rooms but saw no one there. Slumping back down on a chair, she picked up a sticky note that seemed to have fallen off from the fridge.

Amu, honey.

Mama and Papa have somewhere to go and Ami tagged along, I left some money for your food.

We'll be back tonight, so don't worry about it too much, okay?

Take care.

-Mama.

Amu reread the note over and over again, but even so, she couldn't seem to find the words that a mother should have written to her daughter. Ever since, Amu knew that her parents gave her little amount of attention, they were too focused over Ami. All they ever see in her was mistakes and problems; it was most probably why they never cared for her. They were always out with Ami and rarely stays at home, but whenever they do, they ignored her.

"I shouldn't be sad, it's my birthday." Amu smiled sadly, who was she fooling? "Mama didn't even remember my birthday."

Blinking back the tears, she stood up. "It's fine, Amu you can do this. Tadase's waiting for you."

Grabbing her keys with her, she locked the door and strolled towards the gate, pushing it open and suddenly seeing a familiar figure leaning on the wall across the street. Her widened and all she could do was stare. He was back.

"Ikuto." Amu whispered, cars zoomed past the streets, making it hard for her to see him clearly. Yet, she knew.

It really was him.

Ikuto.

All done. Hope you all like it. :D

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.

THANK YOU.
