Chapter 1 - Meeting

The night was young, and there's really nothing much to say. It was simply the two of them, under the tree in the wide space of grass outside the Academy. The academy was as magnificent as the Queen's castle, or perhaps, a little more. Saito smiled, and continued staring at her, rather, at Siesta's, well... chest.

Siesta smirked. The potion was working well, working so very well.

In as alluring a voice as she could manage, she said, "Saito, do you like me or Louise?"

Saito, in an apparent trance, replied with, "S-Siesta..."

"Come on, you like me right, deary?" She reached her hand up and stroked his chin. Saito could only nod.

"SAITO!" came a scream from the bushes not far away. "You...you stupid, unfaithful dog!"

As quick as he had nodded, Saito turned to see a huffing and puffing Louise brandishing a stick. Wait, no, a... whip. NO!

"Come here, Saito..." she said, beckoning him, an evil aura surrounding her. Her eyes, a fiery, glowing red, stared straight into the mongrel's.

"Eh, wait, my dear, I... I can explain...Ah, NO!" The chase started as screams of agony were heard throughout the dormitories of the Academy.

"YOU IDIOT!"

All Siesta could do was continue sitting there, and sigh. Why did things never go right for her and her one and only love, Saito?

Poor, poor Saito.

"Now sleep on the floor, you unfaithful bastard, wait, no, you're worse than a bastard, dog!" Louise, in all her angry goddess glory, screamed as she dragged a beaten (literally) Saito back to their room.

"Siesta..." he moaned for his "beloved". The love potion was strong, alright.

"What did I just hear you say, Sai-to~!" She sang, never having looked as scary as she did now.

"N-nothing!" he quickly said, trying to cover up. But as usual, he pathetically failed.

"Go to hell, mutt! Lie down, I said, lie down!" Foot on his head, she screamed.

"Okay, okay!" he said, tired of her incessant whining and commands.
Once he had been punched to sleep, Louise sighed and, making sure the curtains fully covered the windows, she took out her forbidden spell book.

"What do I have that that maid doesn't...?" she thought to herself, taking a glance at herself in the mirror on her dresser. A flash of pink caught her eye.

She smiled dreamily, a smile she reserved for her private viewing. Chanting softly, she took out her wand, and aimed it at Saito. All she had to do was wait for morning for the spell to come into effect.

But, till then, she bid herself a silent goodnight.

- Royal Garden -

"Yaya, those aren't sugar cookies! They're plastic toys!" Nagihiko screamed in vain as Yaya bit and swallowed her own plastic cookies.

"No Nagi, they're cookies! COOOOKIES!" the younger girl screamed back, stomping her foot on the cement and causing Rima's beloved china teacup, nested contentedly next to a slice of marble cake, to shiver, the cherry blossom prints seemingly spinning in circles.

"Cookies, cookies, cookies..." the glass panels of the greenhouse echoed, tempting and taunting the brunette more.

"Why is she always like this? Is she really not on high?" Exasperated, Nagihiko threw his hands in the air. The rest of the Guardians sighed.

"She's on crack," Rima muttered darkly, giving the Ace Chair an infamous deathglare while clutching her teacup protectively.

"Um, Yaya's like that, so just leave her alone!" Kukai smiled as he patted Yaya's head. When Kairi came in, he immediately withdrew his hand; better not to let him misunderstand.

Suddenly, a sparkly, swirling teleporter appeared, stunning all the guardians (current and ex).

They all stared at it, waiting for something; nothing happened. When they were about to return to their current conversation, something happened. Saito Hiraga flew out of the portal and fell on the hard, cold floor. "Louise, I want the bed..."

"What the hell?" Rima was the first to break the awkward silence since the arrival of their unexpected visitor.

"Huh?" the cold impact of the cement floor woke the black-haired native up. "Japan?"

"Eh, you're Japanese too?" Amu jumped down from the tree where she had Ikuto had been (doing stuff) and stared at Saito curiously.

"This is Japan? You're not kidding me, right?" the visitor questioned the lot, with diverse hair colours. Something struck his heart; but at that time, the poor boy had no clue.

"Ooh, soft toy! Yaya want soft toy!" The brunette rushed from her seat to crush Saito in a bear hug.

"What...?" Saito asked, very confused. He was in Tristain, in his and Louise's room, and now, he's in some glassy thing with weird people?

Amu helped him escape from Yaya's death hug (she could crush people if she saw them as soft toys) and smiled at Saito, asking, "What's your name?"

When Saito saw that smile, something made him swoon inside. "S-Saito," he said, blushing ever so slightly.

Ikuto looked on from his tree, recognising that dreamlike look Saito was holding for Amu. He was clearly not amused.

"Shit, another competitor," the violinist cursed. Amu had enough fanboys already. With this new guy...he might actually lose to his boyish looks.

Amu, apparently, didn't have the same thoughts that Ikuto had. She helped Saito up, completely oblivious of the blush that peppered his cheeks. "Welcome to the royal garden, Saito," she said, making Saito faint of a nosebleed.

- Louise's Room -

"Where is that idiot?" the rosette asked herself aloud. When she had woken up that morning, he was nowhere to be found. "Stupid dog..."

Just then, she saw a portal. He...he left?

She took a brave little step into the still swirling portal that closed itself up after the rosette's deparature.

- Royal Garden -

"Wah!" Louise fell flat on the cold floor, and raised her head to find herself face to face with Yaya, thinking that Louise was another soft toy. She caught sight of Saito looking at... a rosette! No!

"Oh my god, how many more of these freaks are going to rain on us like that!" Rima asked, annoyed.

"No more," Louise replied, looking at the female blonde. She was pretty cute, like a doll. The longer haired rosette looked around the greenhouse of a 'Royal Garden'. All the girls had, in their own ways, charm.

But the spell, the portal...No, everything was going wrong!

"Um, I'm Louise, you're..?" Louise fixed her smiling glare (something oft used on Siesta and Kirche) on Amu, holding out her hand.

"Amu," the other rosette, replied, shaking hands with another of her rare kind. The naturally pink-haired.

Unconsciously, her eyes fell on Lou-what was it - Louise's chest. And she saw nothing. Ah, just like her, the poor, pitiful girls; as flat as boards.
Louise, along with the rest of the Guardians, followed her gaze to the magician's chest. When Amu finally caught herself, most of the Guardians (including the prince) looked at her with disdain.

"Amu...are you lesbian?" Rima asked, in a stage whisper.

"No, if she was I would never have gone to such means to chase her, right, dearie Amu?" Ikuto jumped down from the tree and fixed a hard look on Saito as he stage whispered back to Rima.

Amu became flustered, and flushed a deep crimson. "No!" she denied. "I just..." she tried. "I just..."

"Amu was just looking at Louise since Louise isn't native, right?" Saito stared at Amu, entranced. Her flawless, pale skin, her honey eyes, her... her rosy lips that he had a sudden urge to want to kiss.

Amu gave him a grateful look in return. Ikuto, Tadase, and Rima noticed the exchange between the two - all three of them equally as jealous of this new guy.

Why did they just feel like pummeling the guy? Oh right. He was stealing their Amu.

Kukai barged in the staring of Saito at Amu, and whispered in his ear, "Having strange thoughts for our Amu, stranger?"

Saito shuddered at the voice, making everyone else burst in laughter.

Hi there, new story. This one, however, is a collab with a friend. First crossover! Haha, it's funny how the two protagonists both have pink hair. XD

Anyway, R&R!
