Amu, one day, finds an injured cat outside her window. When she takes care of it, she discovers some terrible and surprising things about this particular creature. Will she help it? Or will she end up losing her mind instead?

Elettra: Fan fiction time!

Amu: Awww, a cat…

Ikuto: I don't like the description…

Amu: Because you're not in it?

Ikuto: Am I in it though?

Elettra: I can't say anything… sorry…

Amu: *mutters* please no Amuto, please no Amuto, please no Amuto…

Ikuto: Amu, I can heeaarrr youuu… *smirks*

Amu: GAH!

Elettra: no perverts here people!

Amu: So Ikuto has to leave…

Ikuto: but I'm not a pervert, I'm a guy with a lot of fan girls.

Elettra: As if we care!

Amu: I don't care!

Elettra: Me neither!

Amu: Why are we shouting!

Elettra: I don't know! Disclaimer!

Yaya: ELETTRA-CHI DOES NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA!

(Amu's POV)

My home… located on… my street… my home!

I was singing to myself while strolling to my apartment from work. Boy, was it a drag! I really wish I could smack the boss! He's just so… GAH!

I kicked a trash can as I passed by an alley and heard a surprised yelp. I stopped in my tracks and looked at the ally.

No, was that a 'yelp'? Nope… couldn't be…

A mew was suddenly heard in the same direction. I walked deeper inside and called out, "Hello… is anybody here?" No answer came from my question.

"Hmm…"

I heard s crackling sound and jumped into the air, "Eek!"

I looked behind a garbage bag and found a… cat?

I laughed and knelt to its eye-level. The cat looked back at me.

It was a midnight blue colour and had sapphire-coloured eyes.

"You gave me quite a scare there…" I said to it and took some food out of my bag, "Come on, here's some food…"

It seemed hesitant, but inched closer to my hand.

"That's it, you're ok…"

It looked at me with its blue eyes with a look that said stop-talking-to-me-like-I'm-some-sort-of-afraid-creature. I got the message and held my hand out some more.

The cat moved slowly then, suddenly, it swiped at the food with its mouth and dashed away. I sighed, wishing that at least one animal would at least take food from me.

I continued walking to the building and greeted the person behind the desk, "Hi Kairi!"

"Oh, greetings Amu-chan!" he said. Kairi was about the same age as me (15) with green hair and glasses that covered his blue eyes. He was a friend of mine that was the younger brother of his older sister who ran the building. Kairi must have been holding his place for her while she went out or something.

"How was work today?" he asked.

"It was tiring… I think that boss really doesn't like me… though I can't complain about that!"

Kairi laughed, "Ok Amu-chan, everyone is in the room if you wanted to know!"

"Thanks!"

I took the elevator to my floor and walked into my room which I shared with my friends who you are about to meet.

"AMU-CHIII!" cried out Yaya.

"Hey Amu, finally back I see," Utau said from her bed while she read a magazine.

"Hello Amu, glad you're back…" Rima said from her bed.

"Hey everyone!" I said putting down my bag.

Yaya as you could tell was very hyper and loved any type of candy there was. She had red hair in two, short tails; her eyes were a mix of red and brown.

Utau on the other hand was quite mature and loved to sing. Her hair was long, blonde and tied up into two pigtails, her eyes were two purple orbs that continued to read her magazine.

While Rima, was very quiet and personal. She had really long, wavy blonde hair that consisted of most of her height; her eyes were large and brown.

"Sorry for the delay, the boss was feeling evil today and made me clean up," I explained.

"Amu," warned Utau, "What did you do now?"

"Ok, one plate, just one!"

They all sighed.

"Anyways, I arranged for us to have dinner with everyone at a restaurant tomorrow night, for, five o'clock!" Utau squealed.

Rima groaned and said, "Utau, please don't tell me you put me with that cross-dresser!"

She nodded.

"Shoot!"

"Yaya's okay with that, I'm with Kairi right?" Yaya asked Utau.

She nodded… again.

"YAY!" she exclaimed.

"Sorry, I'm going to have to pass on that…" I said to them.

"WHY NOT AMU-CHIII!" begged Yaya.

"Yeah, I set you up with Tadase he's the only one available," Utau explained.

That means that she's with Kukai… I thought.

"Sorry guys, my boss told me to clean up tomorrow too…" I said while scratching my head.

"What the heck did you do to earn that!" Utau shouted.

I laughed nervously, "I, um, well… I broke two cups as well… so, yeah…"

Everyone sweat-dropped, including myself, man that's embarrassing!

Utau sighed, "Ok, I'll text Tadase and tell him you're not coming…"

She whipped out her cell phone and typed furiously before sending the explanation to a lack of 'Amu' at dinner.

I sighed and collapsed onto the bed.

Yaya started to eat candy from her stash, Rima just curled up and fell asleep and Utau, she resumed reading her magazine.

I turned on the air-conditioner and was about to follow Rima's example before I remembered the strange cat that was in the alley. I was about to tell them about it but changed my mind and went to sleep.

~ The next morning ~

(Utau's POV)

Pugh! I'M TIRED! DUMB ALARM CLOCK! SHUT UP!

I sat up in bed and realized that no alarm clock was ringing, instead, Yaya's headphones were blaring something that sounded suspiciously like random beeping.

I made a groan and covered my head with a pillow, instantly snoring again.

(Rima's POV)

I AM GOING TO KILL YAYA IF THAT SOUND IS HER HEADPHONES!

I opened my eyes and, sure enough, Yaya's music was playing.

(Amu's POV)

OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? I'M TIRED! FIVE MORE MINUTES PLEASE!

Unfortunately, my thoughts were not answered and snapped my eyes open. I looked at everyone else and saw Rima with a very angry face that radiated terror.

(Yaya's POV)

YES! MY MUSIC WORKED AS THE PERFECT ALARM SYSTEM! NOW EVERYONE CAN WAKE UP WITHOUT BEING LATE FOR THEIR JOBS!

I grinned and opened my eyes to see the device in the middle of the room. I looked at Amu-chi and saw her staring at something; her knees seemed to be shaking. I turned to Utau-chi and frowned at the pillow that covered her head. Lastly, I glanced at Rima-chi and saw her glaring at my alarm. She then got up, walked over to the device and stood next to it. I realized with a start at what she was about to do.

"Wait Rima-chi, that's the only pair of headphones I ha-" I began, but Rima kicked the headphones into the wall and it stopped playing the music. At least she didn't break it.

(Rima's POV)

That thing deserved what was coming to it! Humph!

After happily delivering the blow to the annoyance with my foot, I walked back to my bed and took a short nap before I had to get ready for the day.

(Amu's POV)

After Rima brutally, kicked Yaya's electronic device, I was about to head back to bed.

Ahhh… sleep, pillows, bed, bliss~ I'm dreaming of kicking the boss~

My eyes snapped open at the last thought, the Boss! I rolled out of the bed and shook Utau awake. She worked by singing songs all day at a building that I always forgot the name of.

"Come on Utau, we have jobs!" I screamed in her ear.

She suddenly threw the pillow off and we both darted into the bathroom.

*15 Minutes later*

Run Amu, run! Get to work! Go, go, and go!

I finally burst through the doors just in time. I worked a little café/ restaurant as a waitress. Unfortunately, I'm new and always break stuff. Luckily, I worked with one of my friends, Nagihiko. Nagihiko had long, purple hair and light brown eyes. He was always on time, never broke anything on the job, and always served customers with a smile, me on the other hand, no.

I don't know why Rima hates him though, he's really nice.

"Good morning!" I said putting on an apron.

"Oh, morning Amu-chan!" greeted Nagihiko.

"Finally you're here, get to work!" said the greatest misery of my life, the Boss.

Somehow, he reminded me of the movie "Godfather".

"Yes boss!" both of his employees said.

(Utau's POV)

At least Amu remembered to wake me up so that we could get ready for our jobs. Rima and Yaya are both so lucky. They don't have any jobs! I envy them, well, my job is pretty awesome. I just sing and sing and clean up afterwards. I'm sorry for Amu, she has to serve as a waitress and put up with weird people all day!

I can't believe Amu couldn't go to dinner tonight, since she has to do extra work.

I walked inside the building and greeted everyone, "Good morning!"

They all responded, "Morning Utau-san!"

I grinned, oh I love this job.

END OF CHAPTER! PLEASE REVIEW! I BEG OF YOU!
