Me: Hey people! It's me again!
Chay: It always is you…
Mimi: That's redundant.
Me: What? Now you're confusing me. Anyways, this chapter will seriously start to pick up the action!
A/N: I do not own Shugo Chara.
"So," The orange-haired teacher - who I still had no idea what his name was – said, "You have two Characters now. One must have been born yesterday after school," He mused. I nodded weakly.
"Well then," He said standing up, "I'm off to pick up some lemon cookies. I just can't get enough of them." My mouth literally fell open in shock. How could he change topics so easily?
Kusukusu snickered evilly.
"What?" He said, questioning my expression and Kusukusu's snicker. This time Rima snickered.
He left, humming happily.
"I see you aren't acquainted with him," Amu said, "He has a very nonchalant personality."
"I can tell. Is there anything else you want? It's late and my mother wants me to pick up some food," I said.
"Yaya has surprise for Mayne!" Yaya cried. She pulled out a folded white bundle, which I immediately recognized as a Guardian cape.
"Seriously? White?" I asked.
"Well," Yaya said, pouting, "Your skirt will match it, and I don't think you will be getting a new uniform any time soon."
I accepted the cool bundle wordlessly.
By that time, it was getting late, so I headed out.
~.:Later:.~
I sighed as I dropped my school bag near my desk, and pulled on my clean pajamas.
"You know," Mimi said, "Yaya was right. The white does match."
"I don't care right now," I mumbled, rolling over and crushing my favorite pillow.
I slipped off into sleep.
~.:Dream:.~
I was walking in the same forest as my last dream. The tall trees hiding whatever light came from the sun or moon, except for a few patches that poked through.
I walked to the glade and sat down next to the magnificent cherry blossom tree. I stared up through the pale flowers, catching a glimpse of a full moon and countless stars.
My dream shifted.
"Ha," A voice said, sounding evilly happy, "You can't even stand up for yourself. You don't deserve the title of…" The words became jumbled as I felt myself being picked up and thrown none too gently against a wall.
"You can't even defend yourself," The voice sneered into my ear.
My dream shifted again.
I was back under the cherry blossom tree. I looked down, and saw myself wearing the same thing that I wore with a Character Transformation with Chay. It wasn't the same though. More elegant and refined. It emanated power.
I looked around myself. It was snowing…snowing…
Snowing…
…
Snowing…
~.:End Dream:.~
I gasped as my mind tore itself away from the dream, the word snowing echoing through my mind.
What I had seen chilled me, and I didn't know why. Why was this scaring me?
Me: We are just over halfway done!
Mimi: That means? After this? We're gone?
Me: No silly, we just move onto the next story!
Chay: See you next time on Shugo Chara! New World!
