Tara-Chan: I wanted to update. I'M SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! BUT SCHOOL IS BEING EVIL AND GIVING ME SO MUCH HOMEWORK!
Ikuto: lazy…
Tara-Chan: say that again, I won't update which means in this story…no more amuto.
Ikuto: -smirk- I know you would never do that.
Tara-Chan: watch me.
Amu: a-anyway…on with the story!
Tara-Chan: Oh right… Yoru! Disclaimer please!
Yoru: Tara-Chan doesn't own Shugo Chara in any way, nya!
(Flashback to chapter 7)
The boys started singing a song called 'hey Juliet' by LMNT… All the girls stared at them wide-eyed, I stared at Ikuto thinking that this SO was NOT his character. I never thought I would see the boys do that… I think that was the weirdest thing I've seen them do…so far.
(End Flashback)
(Amu's POV)
It's been a week since Nagehiko's and Rima's wedding, and let's just say that it was a pretty hectic night…especially when Nagehiko and Rima were about to cut their wedding cake. It was hilarious! When they cut a slice to feed each other, Rima, instead of putting it in his mouth with a fork. She grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Nagehiko's mouth. She put on a cute face, and said to him, "Payback". I saw Rima wink at me, and I instantly got the idea. Rima winked at the other girls while they got the message as well. The boys were standing around oblivious to what we were about to do. But, as if Nagehiko read Rima's mind, he already knew what we were going to do but didn't say anything to the other guys. All the girls and I walked up to the cake and grabbed a handful. I was the first to start. I threw the cake at Ikuto but he somehow dodged. While Miki threw some at Yoru, Ran at Daichi, Suu, Dia, Temari, Pepe started throwing stuff too, while Musashi and Kairi were sweat dropping in the background. Eventually, it ended and we were all covered in cake. But, it was fun.
Right after that, Rima was about to throw the bouquet. Every one of the girls was trying to get the flowers except me. I wanted to as well, but I had to keep my so-called 'cool and spicy' character up. I've been in this character ever since I was 11 years old dressing like a gothic punk. Apparently, Rima didn't like it when I put up that kind of character. Oh well. In the end, I ended up catching the bouquet…when I didn't even try… on the corner of my eye, I could see Ikuto's smirking face, which I wish I could just wipe off! While in my own thoughts, my phone started ringing and as I looked at the caller ID, it was Rima. I answered it.
Amu: Hello?
Rima: Hey Amu, it's Rima. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the amusement park with the others and me?
Amu: Aren't we a bit old for amusement parks?
Rima: Come on! It'll be fun! Actually, never mind, you're coming even if I have to drag you there myself!
Amu: okay, okay! I get it! I'll come.
Rima: Okay, bye Amu. Be there tomorrow at noon.
Amu: got it. Bye.
Once I finished talking to Rima, I looked at the clock and realized it was 8:45am when I had to be at work in 15 minutes. "Crap! I'm gonna be late!" I rushed out my apartment and into my silver BMW M6 convertible (picture on profile) that I bought a few days ago. I had enough money to buy a car and I got my driver's license 2 years ago. I drove to the crescent café as fast as I legally could and managed to get there in time.
Suzuki-san: Ah! Amu-chan! Ohayou!
Amu: Ohayou.
Suzuki-san: Ah, Amu-chan, we're going to have a pretty busy day today, so I hope you're up for it.
Amu: Hai, hai.
I heard a couple of girls come in and they came and sat at the table. To me, they seemed kind of lost; I went to ask for their orders.
Amu: Hi, welcome to the crescent café, how may I help you?
One of the girls had silver hair that went just past her shoulders and she looked up at me and I saw crystal blue eyes, she was wearing a brown shirt with white sleeves and the shirt said 'I love hot cocoa' and brown pants with a little pink heart on the side and flip flops. The other girl had dark brown hair with light brown highlights and she looked up with me with her chocolate brown eyes, she was wearing a pink shirt with white sleeves and brown pants with the word 'Gap' on it (look on profile). Why do these girls look so familiar? Then I heard one of the girls say something that knocked me out of my thoughts.
Girl 1: Amu-chan?
Girl 2: what? Amu-chan?
Amu: h-how did you know my name?
Girl 1: who else do you know has silver hair?
Amu: …wait…Natsuya??
Girl 2: surely, you should remember me.
Amu: Tara?? Oh. My. God.
My 2 best friends that I had before I moved to Seiyo elementary 9 years ago are standing right in front of me, and I'm standing here like an idiot. Tara and Natsuya stood up and gave me such a huge hug; I was about to fall backwards.
Amu: OH MY GOD! How long has it been since I last saw you guys!?
Natsuya: 8-9 years. Oh my god, Amu-chan, we haven't seen you in so long. When you left, we've been depressed for like a month!
Tara: Yeah! Amu-chan, how have you been?
Amu: I've been good, and good thing nobody else is here or else this would've caused a huge commotion.
Suzuki-san: Amu-chan! I heard some screaming—and who may these 2 ladies be?
Amu: Ah! Suzuki-san! These are my 2 best friends from before I moved to Japan!
Suzuki-san: Ah! You must be Natsuya-chan and Tara-chan! Amu has told me a lot about you!
Natsuya: Nice to meet you.
Tara: Nice to meet you!
Suzuki-san: if you'll excuse me, I must get back to work. Nice meeting you two!
Amu: Anyway, what are you guys doing here? I didn't expect you guys to be here in Japan.
Tara: well, we wanted to see if we could find you! I was going through some old photos of us when we were little and told Natsuya about it.
Natsuya: yeah, I mean we haven't seen you for a while; and we wanted to pay you a visit. When we got here, we kind of got lost and wandered into this café. To think, that we would find you here.
Amu: haha, yeah. As you can see, I work here. That reminds me…where are you guys staying?
Tara: we haven't decided that yet…
Amu: Why not stay with me? I have 2 spare rooms in my apartment. Although, it's pretty small, it's comfortable.
Natsuya: Amu-chan, are you sure we wouldn't be intruding or anything?
Amu: don't worry about it! I don't mind.
Tara: okay, we'll stay. But, we have to help you pay the rent in your apartment.
Amu: deal. Just wondering, but do you guys have enough money?
Natsuya and Tara: -sweatdrop-
Amu: haha! I can tell by the looks on your faces that you don't.
Natsuya: okay…so we may be a bit broke at the moment…
Amu: no worries. Wait here.
(Natsuya's POV)
I saw Amu-chan walk into an office, probably Suzuki-san's. She came out a few minutes later with two uniforms like hers.
Amu: You've just been hired as two new waitresses for the crescent café.
Tara and I stared at Amu-chan with wide eyes, wondering how she got us the jobs so easily. Tara was the first to recover.
Tara: The uniform looks so cute!
(Sorry, I'm not bothered to type up what the maid outfit looks like so just look on my profile for the outfit. =. ='.)
Amu: do you think you guys can get changed and start today?
Natsuya and Tara: sure!
(Amu's POV)
I showed Tara and Natsuya where the changing rooms were and they got changed while I went back to work. Natsuya was the first to come out and then Tara following soon after.
Amu: well, let's get started!
At around lunchtime, the café was packed with people. I heard some people ask me to sing. I agreed but told them I would be singing with two other girls. I told Natsuya and Tara that they would have to perform with me and they agreed almost instantly. I told them that a lot of people were requesting kind of a fast song. We had 5 minutes and I had all the clothes prepared. We told the audience that we'd be performing soon. We went into the changing room and I gave the clothes to Natsuya and Tara. Tara soon came out wearing a white tank top with white Capri pants. Natsuya came out wearing a white ¾ sleeved shirt and white and grey army pants. Lastly, I came out wearing a long sleeved shirt, the sleeves went past my hands and there was a hole for my thumb to go through. My shirt went down stopping and showing off my stomach. I had white tracksuit pants. We were all wearing white and black converse shoes. The song that we were doing was the same song we always used to sing and dance to. When we were 9 years old, we made up a dance, which was really complex for other kids our age (I can't describe the dance moves, sorry). We all walked onto the stage.
Amu: I hope you like this song. As you can see, I have 2 new members with me. Anyway, please enjoy.
(Cinderella – Britney Spears – this was a random song picked by Me. =. =')
(Amu)
I used to be your girlfriend and I know I did it well
Oh yes, you know it's true
You'd call me Cinderella; all you had to do was yell
And I'd be there for you
Here I am, so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairytales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay
(ALL) CHORUS
I'm sorry, running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Aah, but Cinderella's got to go
(Natsuya)
From time to time I tried to tell just what was on my mind
You'd tell me not today
"Come back, do that. Where's Cinderella at?"
Was all you had to say.
Here I am, so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairytales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough, I'm not gonna stay
(ALL) CHORUS
I'm sorry, running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Aah, but Cinderella's got to go
I'm sorry, just trying to live my life
Don't worry, you're gonna be alright
But Cinderella's got to go
(Tara)
I used to say I want you
You cast me in your spell
I did everything you wanted me to
But now I shall break free from all your lies
I won't be blind you see
My love, it can't be sacrificed
I won't return to thee
(ALL) I'm so sorry
I've already made up my mind
(Tara)
I won't return to thee
(ALL)
I'm sorry to say, I'm running away now
Don't worry, you will be all right
I'm running away, I've made up my mind now
You're gonna have to let me go
(Tara)
She's gotta go...
CHORUS
(ALL) I'm sorry, running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Aah, but Cinderella's got to go
I'm sorry, just trying to live my life
Don't worry, you're gonna be alright
But Cinderella's got to go.
The whole café applauded. I even saw some other people who were passing by watch from outside the café, and some to come in and watch and listen properly. But mostly, I saw Natsuya and Tara smiling widely. Although, I saw Tara was as happy as ever. She told me when we were little that it has always been her dream to sing. Natsuya was breathing heavily from the dancing we did. She told me that it was her dream to just perform and make everyone happy with her performing with her best friends.
Tara: you people should be happy. I made this chapter a bit longer than the others. By the way, Natsuya, if you are reading this, I need more info on your personality. I hope what I put on your character was okay.
Ikuto: I wasn't in this chapter!
Tara: sheesh, calm down. This was a chapter introducing the new characters and Amu's old friends. I added my own character! And I added Natsuya801923 in my story too, because she gave me a pretty good idea for the next chapter.
Amu: At least you updated.
Tadase: WORLD DOMINATION!
Tara: GO AWAY HOMORI TADAGAY! Oh wait…NO STAY THERE. Where's that damn remote… ah! Here it is. –Presses big red button on remote-
Tadase: -gets shocked- AHH! What the hell was that!? And when did I have this collar on me!
Tara: Oh, I just borrowed it from Keiko Hayasaka. Cool, huh?
Ikuto: -laughing his head off- Homori Tadagay! Getting shocked! Haha!! Where'd…you…get…that…from??
Tara: KeikoHayasaka made up that name. I just borrowed the remote.
Amu: -giggling-
Tadase: even Hinamori-san is laughing? –sits in closet growing mushrooms-
Tara: -shocks Tadagay again- OI! GROW MUSHROOMS IN SOMEONE ELSES CLOSET!
