Aquatwin: HI! This is a collaboration between me and my very good rimahiko lovin' buddy, Amutoluver1! We'll be going back and forth each chapter.

Oh, and P.S. Nagi and Rima are about 15 and 16 here (Rima 16, Nagi 15 because Rima's birthday is before Nagi's)

Summary: Nagi and Rima are with the other guardians on a vacation. But what happens when they're fighting and they get on the wrong plane? Watch their cross-continent adventure here!

Shugo chara belongs to Peach Pitt! Storyline belong to me and Amutolover1!

Crystal (my shugo chara): And...START THE STORY!


Nagi's PoV

I tapped my chin impatiently as the blonde midget beside me was reading her gag manga. Turning her way, I asked, yet again "Are you sure you read the right flight on the tickets Rima?"

She lowered her gag manga and glared at me with her honey-colored orbs. "I told you, the tickets said gate 6, Amu said gate 6, and I'M saying gate 6!" She hissed, then returned to her manga, hiding her face behind it. She'd been hiding behind it for the past half-hour, refusing to meet my bored gaze. KusuKusu was reading along side her, right on her shoulder, cackling from time to time. I sighed and thought back to how this all happened.

Rima and I were stuck to be the ones to check out of our hotel from our trip to South Korea (with great difficultly considering the current fighting status between north and south korea over the ship shot down. But that's another story), and everyone had left ahead of us. I was guessing it was one of their plans to play match-maker with us. I respect their efforts and all, but that wasn't happening anytime soon... or ever. Clearly, this girl hates me. But I can't say those spiteful feelings are reciprocated. I honestly don't know what I feel for the blonde, but it most certainly wasn't hate. I just know that something about her makes me want to get her to like me instead of hate.

That doesn't mean I like like her, though.

So on our way to the air-port, we started argueing over god-knows what and...well... in short we got kicked out of the taxi we were in. After I had to lug both my own and Rima's luggage (she refused to carry her own) with the help of Rhythem in a chara change, we finally arrived. I could've sworn I heard Tadase say our flight would leave at 2:00. So why were they all late?

I looked back at the chibi girl beside me. She had closed her manga and now was twiddling with her hair in her fingers. I chuckled, seeing her annoyance and impatience written all over her facial features. It really was amusing to see her ticked off.

She snapped her head to the side and shot me another one of her glares. When will she realize her glares are as menacing as a puppy? I did nothing but smirk and glare back at her, having one of our infamous contests of sorts.

"My money's on rima!" Rhythem blurted out. Wow, I have such a supportive chara (sarcasm, people)

"Na-ah, Nagi!" KusuKusu argued back. My smirk grew even larger, looks like our charas are real supportive of each of our rivals (as according to rima). We must really be bored to have stooped to a glaring contest for no odd reason. Although Rima would protest her reason was because she didn't like some low-life cross-dresser or something along those lines. It's different excuses every time.

A voice echoed over the intercom "Flight 6 is leaving. Flight 6 is leaving."

We tore our glares away from one another and I looked frantically around for the others. You would think finding a group with pink, blue, and blonde hair in china would be easy. It really wasn't.

"Shouldn't they of been been here by now?" I mumbled, looking around. Then my eyes landed on Rima who was walking to the entrance to the plane. "RIMA!" I yelled. She turned around and arched an eye-brow at me.

"They're probably already on the plane, fujisaki. And if they aren't, they can catch the next one. I, for one, am not waiting up." She said and then returned to walking towards the throng of people going on the plane. KusuKusu threw me an apologetic glance over rima's shoulder. I wasn't sure if I should go after her or stay here and wait for the others to show up.

Rythem tugged at a strand of my hair. "C'mon, dude! You gonna let rima go on the plane all by herself?" He spoke frantically. Him pulling my hair did nothing but tilt my head to the side. But he was right. Sighing, I picked up the little bags that we had brought and scurried over to Rima. She gave me a minor glance from the corner of her eye and then continued forward. I stumbled along side her, struggling with the multiple bags in my grasp.

Alright, so I can tolerate Rima.

But she can't go 10 minutes without starting an arugment with me.

First, it was over who got the window seat. She argued she would like to be able to see japan when we go over it. I, being stupid, had told her I would've thought she'd be scared of heights being so close to the ground all the time. Then we started arguing over heights (and I mean how tall people are, not over how high up in the sky we were). One thing lead to another and now she was pouting in the isle seat, arms crossed and refusing to look my way.

"Geez Rima-chan, if you continue making that face, it might get stuck that way." I told her, hoping it would stop her pouting. She did nothing but turn around more so there was no way I could see her face. I sighed in frustration and looked at my chara's. Temari had slipped out of her egg seeing as the others seemed to have missed the plane. As of right now she was teaching KusuKusu some basic Kabuki dance moves. Rhythem was watching in awe. A smile twitched at the edge of my lips.

Moving my head in the direction of the window, I stared out at the clouds flying past. Wisps of white mist twirled into forms in the air. My eyes roamed over the land-scape. Wait, why was there still land? We've been flying for over an hour, we should be over water at this point.

"Hey, Rima-chan?" I asked nervously. I hope she can prove me wrong when I ask this next question.

"What do you want Fujisaki?" She spat my way. It's good I was immune at this point to her insults and such.

"What do our tickets say our destination is?" I kept staring at the land scape thousands of feet below the plane. No, it wasn't right.

Some shuffling of fabric and I heard Rima make a 'humph' sound. "We already know we're going to Japan, Baka. Besides, the tickets don't say."

I let my forehead hit the window with a thud, groaning.

"What's up with you, Nagihiko?" She questioned in her quiet voice. I ignored the edge of concern and leaned backwards, gesturing towards the window.

Closing my eyes, I sighed and told her what I knew was wrong. "Something tells me we're on the wrong plane Rima-chan." I waited for the outburst. The screams of either denial or panic and her little arms flailing about. But that wasn't there. It was just...

Silence.

I squinted open one eye and looked at Rima who was waving over someone. A flight attendent dashed over, her hair practically flying about from the immediate rush to rima's side. I noticed Rima giving puppy eyes.

"Excuse me miss, but where is this flight going?" She asked quietly. I bit back a chuckle as the woman looked at Rima like she was an adorable little doll.

"Well it's going to India, little girl." I could clearly see the woman resisting to glomp Rima like she was a cute puppy. She settled for ruffling Rima's hair and walking away giggling. And now the Chibi-devil was twitching. From contact, being looked at like a doll, or the situation at hand, it wasn't clear.

KusuKusu floated over to her and gave a desparate attempt at a 'funny face'.

This was not good news.

"YOU GAVE US TICKETS TO INDIA?" Rima yelled into her cell-phone.

Sitting on the outside of the airport on the bench, I looked around, trying to pretend like I wasn't listening in.

Which I was. I'm deffinetly thankful for having had to adjust to listening to stage whispers long ago.

A crackled and distant respone on the other end came from Amu. "what? Ikuto, you bought them tickets to India? I thought we agreed on a flight that went to North Korea!" Some yells and shouts on the other end and Rima was twitching furiously. I rolled my eyes. These people were desparate to set us up when they don't even see the couples right in front of them.

"Why didn't you buy us tickets to, oh, I don't know, JAPAN?" Rima hollered again. Some people glanced at us, looking at us like we were freaks. Although we probably seemed it, what with us yelling japanese in India and our, well, appearances. I gave my famous creepy smile to them and they immediatly turned back to walking around.

A sigh was heard on the other end. "You two are so stubborn. Just have Nagi help you out with that, he is rich after all." Yeah, thanks Amu, that helps a lot (if you didn't notice, that was sarcasm). I only have about 500 bucks and theres no way that could get us a flight back to Japan.

"You don't think I've already asked about that? Point is, we're stuck until you guys can get your butts over here or send us some tickets!" She continued yelling. I sighed, this was getting us nowhere. I fiddled with a lose thread on my jacket, waiting for some solution to be made since Rima apparently didn't want me to be part of the 'problem-solving'.

"I don't think we can, w-we kind of used our extra cash on those tickets. Heh heh heh..." Amu laughed nervously on the other end. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Rima face-palm-ing. I heard some distinct arguing on the other end as Amu yelled "HEY! That's my phone!"

"Alright, listen kid," Utau's voice popped up on the phone. "Just hitch-hike you're way back to korea and we'll send you back from there."

"Hitch-hike?" Rima asked, her eyes growing wide. Saying she looked scared was almost an understatement.

"Yeah, catch rides from India to Korea." Utau spoke like it was the simplest thing in the world. Does that idol even realize how long that would take? A month, if we were lucky. And what with us only being teenagers, I don't think we'd have a lot of luck with it.

Rima looked the other way, hiding her eyes under her bangs. "B-but my parents are expecting me home today." She almost whispered. I stopped looking from the corner of my eye and turned to look at Rima. Her hair was covering her facial features, but she looked so crest fallen. KusuKusu frowned and rested on Rima's head.

Utau gave a more sympathetic tone this time. "Don't worry kid, we can spin a story for you that'll get you in the clear for the summer. Just go with girly boy and you'll be fine." I don't know if I was complimented that she thought I would be able to keep us out of any trouble or insulted by the nick-name.

Rima let out a groan of frustration. "F-fine." And with that, she slammed her phone shut. She looked up and noticed me watching her.

"What are you looking at Fujisaki?" She snapped at me, glaring. I held up my hand defensively.

"Hey, don't be mad at me!" I defended. She humphed and turned around, crossing her arms and sticking her nose up in the air.

Oh yeah, hitch-hiking will be soooooooooo 'fun'.
