Note: The first few parts of this story are just catching up with Yuki and Amu before we go on to the actual story with the guardians. PS: recognize the episodes?

Chapter 6: Without the Joker Part 2

With Manami being a major fan girl of the guardians, she managed to convince Hinamori Amu to coming with her to the Fujisaki residence to give Fujisaki Nadeshiko a get well card that afternoon. Just minutes before, Misaki had managed to drag Amu with her to the Souma residence to give Kukai a gift.

Amu and Manami shook in fear in front of the grand Fujisaki house. "Oh my god their house is so huge! Manami-chan, how about you go in first?" Amu said. She could only image what kind of scary things could be in there.

"No, no you go on ahead I insist" Manami replied cowering behind Amu.

"You're the one with the card" Amu pointed out. Manami nodded and hesitantly knocked on the door.

Yuki:

Su had wandered off when I was shopping with Wakana-chan and I had to excuse myself to look for her. I sighed. This was going to take a while.

Su:

I was happily touring the city when I noticed that I had gotten lost. I saw little doggie-san pass by me. "Hi little doggie-san" I said waving happily to the doggie. Turns out, little doggie-san was lost too! I spent the next few hours with doggie-san exploring and trying to find out way back.

Yaya:

I was in the dressing room of the ballet class, changing into a tutu. I was so excited! We were having an upcoming recital and I couldn't wait to be a part of it! Maika-chan is the prima ballerina, again, and she is going to be so amazing! Hitomi-chan, Yukina-chan, Choco-tan and I were all going to be flower fairies in the recital! We couldn't wait! I Pepe and I told Miki-tan X Egg all about the recital.

"Wow, it sounds amazing, and so artistic! I really wish I could actually see it!" Miki-tan X Egg was saying. "Weren't we supposed to get ice cream first?" I heard Miki-tan X Egg ask Pepe. Pepe shrugged.

"Yeah, this is going to be the best recital ever!" I announced to everyone.

Choco-tan heard me and turned and punched the air, "Ha ha, yes this is going to be the best thing since anime!" Choco-tan laughed. She's so psyched and so was I! The brown-haired flower fairies were totally going to be the second biggest hit of the performance (After Maika-chan of course)!

Mimiko-sensei came in which meant it was time to practice. I was ready to give it my all! "Today is a dress rehearsal" I said to Miki-tan X Egg. She nodded, I felt bad for her I really couldn't stand being blind. I wonder how she dealt with it.

Us performing fairies lined up a on the imaginary line where we were supposed to be! I was flower fairy number 2 so I stood between Choco-tan (flower fairy number 3) and Yukina-chan (flower fairy number 1). La, la, la oh there's Maika-chan! Ooo her prima ballerina dress was so pretty! She's the best ballerina in Mimiko-sensei's ballet class, and everyone thinks and knows so! Even though she puts up a cold front (like Amu-chi) she's still super nice!

Third Person:

Hinako Mizutani watched as her sempais practiced their routine for tomorrow's recital. She ignored the flower fairies and watched Maika. Not that the flower fairies weren't great, Yukina Koguru, Yaya Yuiki, Chiyoko Nakayama and Hitomi Ninagawa were all great dancers, but Maika Himekawa was clearly the best and Hinako wanted to be just like her. If she could be just like Maika, she could be less shy and make lots of friends, which was what she wanted.

A thought tugged at Hinako's mind. But, what if I can't be just as great as they are? Can being a great prima really help me be more fearless?

Outside, a figure stood outside the ballet class. "Found you" The man targeted Hinako's hearts egg. Within seconds, the hearts egg came out of Hinako and turned into an X egg.

"Whoops, it's not the embryo. I'll leave clean up to you, Neko." The man walked away, leaving the X egg there. The neko could handle it.

Tsukiyomi Ikuto sighed in frustration. Another clean up job, it's really getting tedious. He thought.

Yaya:

We were just practicing like normal, with Maika-chan impressing everyone (even Miki) like how she should be doing, until poor Hitomi-chan screamed and I heard a loud thud. I nearly screamed, it was so scary, an X Egg appeared (it wasn't Miki-tan's) and was attacking everyone! I was going to cry! Hitomi-chan had been thrown at the wall and was hurt!

"Are you okay Hitomi-chan?" I ran over to her, but the X egg attacked and blocked my way. I landed on my butt and tears started to come. Before you knew it, I was crying my eyes out. I couldn't help myself! IT HURT!

Miki:

I didn't understand what was happening, but I felt an X Egg. According to what I heard, it seems that the X Egg attacked one of the flower fairies and Yaya was crying. I felt around careful not to bump into anything until I reached Yaya-chan.

"Yaya-chan, Pepe-chan, knock it off. You need to focus." I said to them. They couldn't afford to sit and cry right now. I heard everyone run out. It seems that someone had helped Hitomi-san up and ran out with the other dancers. I heard Maika-san trying to calm Yaya-chan down.

But, when the X Egg hatched, Maika-san was knocked down and I tried to get Yaya-chan to stop crying and fight the now X Character.

"B-b-b-but it's not like I can do anything." Yaya-chan blubbered. "I'm too scared!"

I glared at her from inside the X Egg exterior. This was getting annoying, "Yaya-chan drop the act. No one's even here except for unconscious Maika-san, you, Pepe and I." I said. I know that she and none of the guardians are scared of X Eggs or X Characters at all. Yaya didn't flinch when she first saw me right?

Yaya stopped crying said, "You're good" with no trace of sniffling. "Sorry, I really was scared for a second, but I had to keep crying anyway to maintain my character. After all, I can't be a baby if I'm serious all the time!" She said.

"Now, Miki-tan, should I use my Milky Beam or my Giant Rattle?" She asked.

Ikuto:

I watched the situation, not interfering until the annoying baby-character guardian left. After all, if the baby-character could do something about it (which I doubt), it saves me from doing all of the excess work. As far as I'm concerned, I really don't care what happens to them as long as I get some more time to relax.

What I didn't expect was the humpty lock glowing. It was burning a hole in my pocket. I took it out and immediately dropped it. It burned my hand. "Why the heck is it glowing?" I asked with a tone of frustration.

"Maybe the baby is earning a transformation, nya" Yoru replied.

I stared at Yoru and at the baby-character in disbelief. There's no way that the baby can earn a transformation before the rest of the little guardians.

But sure enough, a light had surrounded the baby character. When it subsided, she was character transformed.

"Character Transformation: Dear Baby!" She shouted.

I simply walked away. "Let's go, Yoru" Now that one of the guardians could character transform, it would get harder, but not much harder. After all, she was simply a girl with a baby-character. I left the humpty lock there. Not a good idea, but I could care less. I was not about to touch something that would burn my hand off.

Yaya:

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I CHARATCER TRANSFORMED! I couldn't believe it, but there I stood in the middle of the practice room, wearing THE MOST CUTEST PINK PAJAMAS, A KAWAII BUNNY HAT WITH RIBBONS AND SLIPPERS! "Oh my gosh it's so cute!" I said as I took out my phone and took a picture to send to mommy.

Miki-tan pushed me forward. What was that for? "Focus Yaya-chan, you need to find a way to purify that X Chara-san. It's destroying everything. Plus, Mizutani-san is on the ground unconscious." She said.

Miki-tan could be mean sometimes! "Yaya knows that! Yaya just needed a picture for mommy!" I said as I crossed my arms and stuck my tongue out at Miki-tan.

Umm…... Let's see. Oh I know! I smirked at X Chara-san. "Hey, X Chara-san!" I shouted. "Please tell Hinako-chan that she needs to be more sure of herself!" I said while waving and smiling at X Chara-san.

I ran up to X Chara-san when I realized something, "Yeah ok….so what do I do now?"

"Yaya-chan…. You're supposed to purify it now!" Miki-tan said.

I slapped my forehead at my silliness. I punched the air and said, "Of course! Go, Go Little…"

"USE AN ATTACK THAT WILL PURIFY THE EGG!" Miki-tan shouted. Oh…. Right…

I saluted Miki-tan and said, "Ok!" I scratched my head searching for something that would work.

"Merry, Merry Purify!" I winked and stuck my tongue out, "This is the version that purifies bad X Chara-sans or bad X Egg-sans." The cute little mobile flew over the X Chara-san's head and little X Chara-san was purified. I fought every nerve I could that wanted me to go to sleep. I wanted to meet the shugo chara-tan! I de-transformed and Miki-tan and Pepe appeared next to me.

A cute chara with light blonde hair and a white + yellow-sparkles dress, and a cute little yellow tiara appeared! "Ohayo, I'm Kiran! Thanks for helping out Hinako-chan! I'll come out later to help her make lots of friends!" Kiran-chan went back into her egg, and then back into Hinako-chan.

"Bye, bye Kiran-chan! I'll see ya soon!" I said waving to Kiran-chan.

I walked over to Maika-chan and woke her up by saying, "WAKE UP MAIKA-CHAN!" She snapped awake ready to slap whoever yelled in her ear when she saw me smiling at her. "Good morning!"

"Yuiki-san, don't do that again!" Maika-chan said. She looked irritated.

I smiled it off and said, "Come on let's wake up Hinako-chan!" With that, I helped her up to her feet and we walked to Hinako-chan to wake her up.

Miki-tan smiled from within her X Egg. "Yaya-chan is doing well"

"Yeah, dechu" Pepe replied.

The ballet classroom wasn't in THAT much of bad shape, but one thing's for sure, X Chara-san is going to get 12 years of bad luck…..

Third Person:

The next day was the day of the recital. Tadase, Kukai, and even Nadeshiko all made it to the performance and cheered her on. Kukai was even tearing up a little.

Hinako applauded her sempais performance, and gave them a standing ovation. She shouted, "Great job Maika-sempai, Yaya-sempai!" her newly-hatched guardian character joined in on the cheering.

Miki X Egg was at the performance too, and talked to the other guardian characters about what happened the day before.

Nadeshiko followed slowly as the others rushed to get backstage to meet Yaya after the performance. She looked down at the card she received. She laughed as she recalled what happened.

Note: Hinako Mizutani, Yukina Koguru, Chiyoko Nakayama and Hitomi Ninagawa are all from episodes in Shugo Chara Doki! In the ? eggs arc. I threw them in this chapter because I needed characters for the other flower fairies.
