"Ame what in the world are you doing up so late?" Midori scolded. Tsugumu yawned and scratched his head. Amu was still sort of asleep with a terrified Ami clinging to her.

"I heard a monster!"

Ame sweat dropped and placed the kettle back on the stove, "Sorry every body, I wasn't really thinking. I'm used to the silent electric kettles."

Stars formed in Midori's eyes, "You mean those ones you just plug in and wait only 2.56 minuets to boil."

"Umm, yeah I guess." Ame said nervously

"I did an entire article on those once," She said excitedly, "They were at the top five new appliances to have!"

Midori went on ranting about how convenient they were, Tsugumu just walked over to the kettle and Ame's box of freshly grown Chamomile and poured himself a cup of tea, "Well we might as well not waste it, By the way Mama, when did you buy chamomile tea?"

Ame stiffened and backed up to the wall, Oh great

Midori stopped in her rant and looked curiously at the box, "I didn't I was going to go shopping tomorrow."

"Then where did it come from….?" They both said in Unison

Ame was trying to slip out of the room when they were talking but they turned to her and she froze in place.

"Ame, where did you get this tea?" Midori pressed. Ame shrunk, she knew she was caught, "I might have…. brought it here from the U.S."

"What?!" Ame flinched at her Aunt's high pitched shriek, "Ame! you smuggled tea into the country?!"

"Yeah, but it's the best Chamomile tea you'd ever have!" Ame said trying to defend herself.

"It is it's a nice sweet flavor almost a hint of lavender" Tsugumu yawned again, "I'm sleepy again I'm going to sleep." He picked up Ami and walked upstairs.

"Papa! We can't let this just go! Ame I'm calling your parent's" She said

Ame panicked, "Over tea? Aunt Mi aren't you over reacting a little bit."

Midori turned around to counter but stopped once she noticed Ame's terrified eyes, "Alright, I'll let it go but don't do anything like this again and drink all that tea before you go back home"

Relief flooded Ame's face and she nodded, "That won't be a problem Aunt Mi why don't you try some?"

Midori nodded and poured herself a cup. Ame waited excitedly until Midori's eyes filled with surprise, "It's delicious, Ame. Where did you get this tea?"

Ame smiled and picked up the wooden box"My friend Debby grows herbs in her spare time. She wants to be a geneticist and create new herbs and flowers, this particular tea is a cross of lavender and chamomile."

Wakana turned to Ran Miki and Suu, "Flora is her Chara she makes the best tasting cat nip around-nya!"

Amu, Ran, Miki, And Suu all sweat dropped.

"We'll take your word for it."

"Well I'm going to bed too goodnight girls." Midori left. Ame looked in the box and gasped. Amu looked sleepily at Ame who was crying anime style tears, "I only have one serving left now!"

Ran flew over to Ame who was putting her box away, "Hey Ame Onee-san, is Debby the redhead girl or the brunette girl?"

Ame didn't really register what she had asked and absently said, "Brunette"

"Oh I see" Ran said floating back to Amu.

"…" Something in Ame's head clicked and she turned to Amu, "Speaking of which Amu who said you can go through my junk?!"

"Oh great were caught," Amu said under her breath.

"You had to look in the suit case Amu," Miki said shaking her head.

"IT WAS YOUR IDEA!" Amu yelled, Miki covered her ears with her hat.

"Actually it was Suu's" Ran said jerking a thumb to the Chara in question who had an innocent look on her face. Everyone looked at Suu accusingly. Ame slapped her forehead and sighed, "Don't try and blame this on Suu I just wanna know what you saw."

"Your clothes and your guitar." Suu said bluntly. The other three's face grew panicked.

"And?" Ame asked knowing there was more.

"Oh and the pictures in your wallet of course!"

"uh Huh? Amu I think it's time we had a little chat!" Ame said grabbing Amu by the collar of her Pj's and dragged her up the stairs.

--

In Amu's room Ame sat on one of Amu's seat cushions and Amu was on her bed. It was quiet for a while and Amu wouldn't meet eyes with Ame.

"Amu, do you know why I'm here?" Ame said breaking the silence.

Amu was caught off guard by the question and she remembered that she thought Ame was running away, "It's just a theory so don't get mad."

"Go on" Ame said keeping the stoic look on her face intact.

"Are you running away from something?" Amu asked.

"…"

Amu sweat dropped at the awkward silence. Slowly Ame's face grew into a grin and she glomped Amu, "Amu you're so smart it's too cute!"

Amu sweat dropped again, "So, I was right?'

Ame released her from her death glomp and nodded, "Yeah unfortunately that's true but not from mom and dad. It's my band."

Amu's eye brows shot up, "You have a band?"

Ame dropped down on the cushion, "Yeah, it's sort of a long story…"

"I've got time." Amu protested.

"You also have school tomorrow." Ame countered.

Amu pouted in protest but couldn't really argue she spun around and pulled her covers over her head, "Fine, good night."

Ame laughed at her and pulled the light switch, "Yeah, good night Amu I'll tell you Tomorrow."

Amu turned to Ame who was snuggled into her blanket. Wakana's pink Argyle patterned egg with paw prints in each diamond shape was nestled beside her.

"You're really going to tell me?"

Ame opened one eye and smirked at Amu, "Yeah I might as well. I trust you, Amu."

Ame yawned and closed her eye and it became quiet in the room. It wasn't long until the room echoed with purring noises and tiny snoring.

--8---8---8----8---8---8---8—

Amu was running away from a large group of X-eggs Ran Miki and Suu were in them. Amu tried her best but she couldn't get away she tripped and the large group rose up and were about to flatten her like a pancake when she heard, "Chara Transformation Black lynx"

Ikuto swooped in pulled her out just in time. Now the sea of X-eggs were after both of them.

"Ikuto what's going on?"

"Easter has gained a new weapon its A-"

--

A loud annoying beeping sound stirred Amu from her nightmare and she shot up from her pillow.

Ame yawned, "Ewe, morning."

Amu looked at Ame who had a pair of black ears and a tail, "Ame Onee-san?"

Ame looked at Amu, "Morning Amu, what's up?"

"Ears"

Ame felt her head and traced her ears with her thumb and forefinger, "huh? How'd that happen?"

She tapped Wakana's shell, "Wakana, wakey wakey you're changing me in your sleep again."

Wakana opened her shell and looked out, "I got it"

There was a soft pop and Ame's cat parts disappeared. Wakana floated out of the shell and yawned, "Ah! I can't believe its morning already."

Ame walked over to Amu's bed and dragged her out by her ankles. Amu's angry vein popped out of her head and she tried to get up as Ame had her half way off. Amu's attempt to get up from Ame's grasp made her fall flat on her face.

Ame dropped her ankles and stifled a laugh and helped Amu up, "Sorry, I know you don't want to get up this early but I need your help with something."

"What time is it?" Amu said rubbing her nose.

"It's about five til five I want to get an early start but I need your help to cover for me."

"For what?"

"For stuff, come on Amu please!" Ame gave her the puppy dog face and Amu couldn't refuse, "Alright what do you need me to do?"

Ame ecstatically dragged Amu to her closet and threw her school uniform in her face, "Get dressed and meet me down stairs."

Ame pulled a shirt and jeans out of her large suit case and ran into the bathroom.

Amu put on her uniform and combed her hair and put her "x" barrettes in her hair she styled it in the two side half pony tails this morning. Amu walked out to the bathroom and noticed Ame was already dressed and combed her messy pink hair was slightly wavy instead of curly and she was wearing a black quarter sleeve t-shirt with graffiti letters that said, "Love kills slowly" and a pair of faded tattered jeans. She wore a pair of black converse and a pick necklace around her neck.

"Amu, are you ready yet?"

"Just need to brush my teeth and wash my face."

"Okay I'll make us some breakfast and we'll be off." Ame said as she headed to the kitchen.

Amu sighed and walked in the bathroom. It only took Amu a couple of minuets to finish and when she left the bathroom the whole house was filled with the sweet scent of pancakes and syrup. Amu walked to the kitchen and Ame was serving each of the chara their own small stack of flap jacks and a large one was waiting for Amu.

"Come and eat." Ame said and put the syrup on the counter, "Before I drop you off at school I want you to show me a couple of places."

"Huh?" Amu said looking at the mouth watering pancakes in front of her. Not being able to wait any longer she said thanks for the food and began stuffing her mouth.

"I was wondering if you could show me to where the Easter head quarters are."

Amu nearly chocked on the bite she had in her mouth, "W-what? Easter what do you want with them?!"

Ame looked at Amu a little surprised, "I wanna see if an American band is playing here."

Amu felt a little ridiculous not many people know about Easter's hidden agenda. She laughed, "To be honest I really don't know where it is."

Ame fell in surprise, then laughed, "Okay I'll find it, I'm sorry I got you up early for nothing."

Amu's face fell, "Ame Onee-san."

"Yeah?" Ame said getting up and sitting down on the table.

"Be careful okay."

Ame stared at Amu with a serious face and after a while she smiled, "I will Amu, don't worry about me."

--

After everybody else woke up Ame fed everybody her pancakes and Midori insisted on helping her with the dishes to thank her for the meal, Ame and Amu headed for Amu's school.

"So anything you need to warn me about?" Ame asked

"Well don't say prince." Amu said nervously.

Ame nodded as they both entered the royal garden.
