and arigato for reading this story once again. Enjoy!~

Hoshi searched frantically, soon wearing herself out. She clutched the folded piece of paper that her master had scribbled quickly, tightly. She was in desperate search for a place to sleep, for she was extremely exhausted. She soon came up to a glass dome and went inside. On a table lay a doll house with mini beds and rooms. The house was pretty much empty and she was too tired to do anything so she set the letter on the table and floated to one of the beds.
She tucked herself in and soon fell asleep.

***************

"Hoy!"

Hoshi opened her lavender eyes and sat up quickly. She looked around to find six pairs of eyes looking at her. Hoshi rubbed her eyes and yawned loudly, her mouth stretching very big.

"Wow! Big mouth!" Kusu Kusu giggled.

"Is this your room?" Hoshi turned to the pink eyed chara.

She nodded.

"ACK! Gomen! Gomen!" Hoshi jumped from the bed and apologized.

"It's okay," Ran smiled at the nervous chara. "But, who are you? Where's your master?"

"Oh, about that…" Hoshi started, her eyes saddening and she looked down.

The charas surrounding her looked concerned.

After a brief discussion of how Hoshi ended up in the Royal Garden….

"EHHH?!" The female charas exclaimed.

"You're Keiko Chan's chara?" Ran asked.

Hoshi nodded sadly.

"My name is Hoshi, by the way." She added in.

"So, you're here because of…" Miki paused.

Hoshi got up and pointed to the folded paper.

"It's a message from Keiko Chan." Hoshi mentioned. "She wanted someone to read it. Someone that is not from Easter."

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Our owners are not here yet, its still school." Kusu Kusu mentioned.

"Here's some tea and cookies," Suu set the tray on a mini table at one of the lower rooms and knelt down.

"A-arigato," Hoshi gave a small smile and knelt down, sipping the tea and grabbing a cookie.

"Kusu Kusu wants some tea and cookies too!" Kusu Kusu shouted happily as she floated to the room and grabbed a cookie.

"Me too, Dechu!" Pepe added in.

All of the charas helped themselves to a cookie. All but Kiseki, who was thinking carefully.

After school:

Hoshi became exhausted from playing with her new friends and fell asleep. The female charas stared at her and exchanged smiles.

"Hoy! Minna! We're here!" Amu shouted while entering, with the other guardians.

"Nagi bought homemade cookies today, Pepe Chan!" Yaya shouted happily.

Alarmed, the charas went up to their owners.

"Shhhhh…." They put a finger on their lips.

"Hmm…? What's wrong?" Amu asked.

The other guardians took notice and followed their charas to the dollhouse.

The female charas floated to a pink room on the top floor and pointed to the sleeping Hoshi.

The guardians looked surprised.

"Aww…. Kawaii!" Yaya whispered.

"But whose Chara is this?" Nagihiko asked in a lowered voice.

"Ehh? What's this?" Rima noticed the folded piece of paper on the table and picked it up.

With her small fingers, she slowly unfolded the note and read it. Her eyes trailed left to right, left to right. After when she was done, her eyes widened.

"Amu, here." She handed Amu the note.

The other guardians surrounded her as Amu read it.

"This…is……Keiko Chan's note." Amu said in utter shock.

The other guardians gasped, except Rima which she was looking at sleeping Hoshi.

"So….. This chara, it must be hers…" Rima said, and the guardians turned around to look at the chara again.

"But where is Keiko Chii?" Yaya asked.

Amu and Tadase exchanged sad looks and sighed.

"Hmm... Did something happen, Hotori Kun?" Nagihiko asked.

"You see, about that…" Amu started.

How was it? So the guardians find out about the note that Keiko left.

I will be needing at least 3 reviews again. So there should be at least 13 or 12 in total.

WOOT! I HAVE A FIELD TRIP TOMMOROW! YAY! NO HOMEWORK! *turns evil* TIME FOR WORLD DOMINATION! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!
