Amu woke the next morning, and found she was alone in the bed. "Hm..." She saw the window was unlocked, when she'd locked it last night. "Good-morning." She said to the bright blue sky, and looked at her clock. "Ha, today is the day I graduate! Yes!" Amu said happily then groaned, "No! That means that theres only one day and one night left here!" Amu sighed and opened up her closet to get her uniform, and found Ikuto. "HUH!" "Morning." "Why are you in here?" "You dad came in early this morning and opened your window." "Oh...thats why you hid." "Yeah." "Well you can come out now, dad left for work early." Amu said as Ikuto came out and sat on her bed. "Don't you have school too?" "Can't Easter is watching." "They still bothering you!" "Mhm." "Ha, I'll be right back." "Hm?" Amu left with her uniform and returned shortly in her uniform. "Just to let you know I wont be home till really late tonight." "Hm?" "My graduation is today and the party is tonight, so I'll be gone for most of the night." "I see..." "Your welcome to stay here, but this time," She looked at Yoru, "Try to be a little more inconspicuous." "Its fine, I have to go anyway..." "Oh, alright...come by later tonight though, if you can...so I can say good-bye." Ikuto said nothing and just left. "Hm...I hope he comes." She said and realized she was going to be late and hurried to get ready then raced to school, making it just before the last bell rang again.
"Amu, just made it again, huh?" "Mhm" She looked up and saw that the clock hadn't been fixed yet. "You know, you'd think they would have fixed the clock already." "Yes, the teacher is pretty careless." "Rima..." Amu smiled strangely as their teacher, Nikiado entered the classroom and once again he tripped over his desk. "Maybe thats not too far from the truth." Amu sighed.
"Oh, all guardians are asked to meet with the principal. Now." Amu, Rima and Tadase headed for the office. "Why is the principal calling for us now?" "It probably has to do with the ceromony and party today." "Makes sense."
"Ah, there you kids are, come in a sit down." "Today you all graduate, and there is to be a special party as well." "Yes, we are aware." "Where is the party being held?" "In an amusement park." Amu's attention was caught. "Amusement park?" "Yes, and there is where we'll have a performance by some of our students for the talent show and yu guardians, will you also perform a talent?" "...ah, well." "I'm doing a dance." "Great, Negihiko, anyone else? Oh, Amu, the band has the music ready for your performance tonight." Amu nodded, "Thank you...hm?" "You said you werent going to do anything," "No, I said I didn't know what I was going to do, or if I'd do something." "Oh." "Ah. Now there will also be a perfornace by Hoshina Utau." Amu lightly smiled. "Oh, Amu, your mother came in yesterday to inform me that you wont be returning to Seiyo Academy." Amu hadn't wanted it to be now that her friends found out, but the principal had just blurted out that she wouldn't be returning. "Amu?" "I hope you find your new school in England to be as fun as this one." All her friends looked at her, "Amu...are...are you moving!" Amu couldn't speak at that moment and stood and ran out of the office and out of the school. "Oh, did I say something wrong?" Asked the principal, who was totally clueless.
Amu had gone and ran far this time and fianlly had to stop to catch her breath. "Why did he have to say that now!" Amu said as tears fell from her eyes. She didn't want to go back to school, she did and she didn't. If she did she knew that she'd be asked a lot of questions, questions that she didn't have the answers to right now and she knew that she'd more then likely cry.

"Welcome everyone! Today we congradulate the students who are graduating into the 7th grade." Amu sat beside the other guardians and waited till she was called. She hadn't said a word to her friends since she came back to class and she still hadn't. She decided that she'd speak to them later in the garden.
Amu watched as her classmates go up and collect their certificates. She smiled as she remembered all the fun times she'd had at the school, and with the fun and happy memories, came one memory that she hadn't wanted to remember, the day when she'd first met Ran. She's wanted to tell Tadase that she liked him, but her 'cool and spicy' character wouldn't let her, so she unexpected character changed and blurted it out in the middle of the opening ceromonies. That day was the first day he'd rejected her, and she found it quite coincidental, that Tadase's rejection led Amu right into Ikuto's arms, so to speak. She couldn't help but giggle softly. "Amu." "Hm?" Amu turned and saw her friends smile at her and she smiled back.
The rest of the graduates collected their certificates and the ceromonies were over. amu now joined her friends in the Royal garden.

"So, you are moving?" "Mhm, yeah. I am." "When?" "Tomorrow." "No way!" "Thats kind of sudden." "Very sudden." "I know, but, hey I'm fine. It's not like I'm not used to moving anyway. Usually we move within a month after we move into a place, so I'm rather surprised that we stayed here so long." "Where are moving?" "England." "England! Thats way too far!" Yaya exclaimed. Amu nodded, "Yeah, but hey, at least I'll get to hopefuly see Nadeshiko, right?" Tadase and Nagihko just looked at each other. "Ah, I think now may be the time to Nagihiko." "Hm? Time for what?" Nagihiko sighed and nodded, "Yeah, I think so too...though I don't want to." "Hm?" "Well, see the thing is...Nadeshiko..." "Hm? What about her?" "She's...ha, she not in England anymore." "Oh...well Lulu isn't far, she only lives in France, so that also makes me happy." Tadase just gave Nagihiko a look. He shrugged.
"So, you're going to be singing huh?" "Ah...yeah." "Why'd you decide to do that?" Amu smiled and remembered when she sang along to Ikuto's violin. "I remembered a day that I'd sang before and I was told that I looked like and sounded like I was enjoying it." "Hm," "I can't wait to hear it!" "Yes. Same for me." Amu smiled, then got up." "Hm?" "I have to go, but I'll be at the party...oh by the way what amusement park do you think it is?" "Don't know..." Amu sighed, "Too bad it couldn't be that one." "What one?" "Ah...one that I've been to many times before...ah...got to go...oof." Amu had turned and bumped into someone.
"Sorry...oh!" "Amu! You're so clumsy!" "Sorry, Utau...wait why are you here?" "Ikuto told me that you're moving." "Oh, yeah I am...ah...but..." "Hm...He never came home last night again, nor did he go to a friend's or Tsukasa's...you don't have an idea as to where he spent such a cold, windy, rainy night, do you?" Amu's face went red as she now felt her friend's eyes on her. "Ah...well...he came to say goodbye and well we got to talking and sort of fell asleep..." "Hm...oh, is that so...okay." "Huh? Okay? Is that all?" "Hm? I'm glad he wasn't out in that weather last night is all. Truthfully i'd have never thought he'd stay at your place." "Hm? Why? He has before, right Amu?" "RAN!" "Before?" "When Easter was chasing him..." "RAN!!!!!!!" "So, when I came by your house looking for him...he was there?" "Well...you see..." "Ha...what an idiot." "Ah..." "Yoru was probably at fault for that right?" "Ah, well...Ikuto wasn't feeling well and Yoru mentioned that they had no where they could go, so, he ended up staying with me for a bit." Amu turned to Tadase and the others. "I'm sorry, but he's a good friend and I don't turn my friends out into the cold when they have no where else to go. Thats just who I am." She said firmly and turned back to Utau "I hope you're not too mad." "I am, but again I'm just glad he was somewhere they could not get to him." Amu smiled, "Yeah. Oh, I have to get going. See you all tonight." "See you." "I'll walk with you." "Okay.
"So you'll be singing for the talent show?" Amu nodded, "Mhm," "You think your any good?" "Don't know really, I'm just going to give it my all and have fun." Amu said as she and Utau walked together. "So, you ever going to come back?" "When I'm older, yeah. I've already decided that." "What do your parents say?" "I havent told them yet, but it doesn't matter. I'm coming back when I'm older and thats that." "Good to hear. I have to go, see you later tonight." "Yeah, oh and be honest about how I do." "Sure." Utau left and Amu headed for home.
"Mom! I'm off!" "K, have fun dear." "I will." "Be sure not to stay out too late, we leave in the morning." Amu sighed and nodded, "Yeah, I know." Amu said and headed out.
