Two Words: Writers Block

I seriously stared at my computer for hours trying to word this chapter. Plus I had tests, projects, and the science fair all happening at the same time and this story was sort of forgotten for a while. Now that everything has calmed down though, I can get back to writing :)

Warning: I don't own shugo chara. Peach pit does.

"Let us start the real party in celebration of the Queen's absence! Let these two weeks be full of happiness and peace the kingdom has not had since she took the throne!"

Chapter 10-Unexpected Start of A Date

After the large amount of clapping and cheering for the man's statement, everyone seemed to genuinely relax themselves from then on. Amu smiled a bit at all the laughter and smiles around her. It amazed her how much the people around her relaxed once Saaya was gone. She sort of felt bad for the queen.

Amu looked around her and she noticed that Kukai and the others were no longer with her.

"Kukai? Where did you go?" She still didn't know the area very well and without Kukai as her guide she would most likely get lost. She shouted for Nadeshiko and Nagihiko, even Yoru, but none of them seem to respond to her calls. Amu decided to stop shouting since people were starting to stare at her like she was crazy.

'I guess I should just walk around and see if I can find them.'

Ikuto was walking around the grounds in an annoyed state. He had been trying to find Kukai for a couple of minutes now but the brunette was nowhere to be found. The blue haired king seriously needed to talk to him. Kukai said that he would help Ikuto through all this and he would be there for him.

That apparently was a lie since Kukai seemed to disappear from the planet.

'When I find him-'His thoughts were interrupted when he bumped into someone a little too roughly. The figure in front of him fell down from the sudden impact and groaned in pain. Ikuto was about to apologize until he saw pink hair and gold eyes.

"Amu…"

Amu didn't know what just happened. One minute she was walking around looking for Kukai and the next she's on the ground in slight pain.

"Amu…" The pink haired girl immediately looked up at the sound of her name to find wide, midnight blue eyes staring at her. Amu felt her face flush. She hadn't spoken to Ikuto since the ball where he kissed her.

Amu felt her face turn into a dark shade of red at the memory.

Ikuto was also thinking the same thing. True, he did kiss Amu but he didn't know why he did it. The moment they were dancing, he just felt so drawn to her and it felt so right that-

No. He would not think about how amazing the kiss was. He would NOT. There was no way this girl was making him feel things. Even if she might be the real Queen that did not mean Ikuto had to fall for her.

He was not falling for her.

Bringing himself out of his thoughts, Ikuto looked at Amu and saw she was still on the ground. Being the gentleman that he was, Ikuto offered her his hand.

"Here" He said," Unless you want to stay on the ground."

Amu nervously looked at the hand in front of her and slowly took it. Ikuto brought her up to her feet again and caught Amu when she stumbled a bit into him. He let out a short chuckle when he saw her face turn red like a tomato. It looked really cute on he-

'Do NOT finish that thought Ikuto.'

"T-thanks." Ikuto was brought out of his mental scolding by Amu letting go of his hand and looking away. The atmosphere around them quickly became tense and awkward the more time passed by. Finally, Ikuto decided the silence had to be broken and spoke up.

"Are you having fun?" He saw Amu jump a bit in surprise and look at him with a confused look on her face. He sighed. "I mean have you been enjoying yourself with this." He gestured to the rides and food stands around them.

"Actually, I haven't been on any of them yet…I was looking for Kukai." Ikuto nodded and stayed quiet for a couple of seconds until an idea came into his head. He smirked and before Amu knew what was happening, he took her hand and started to drag her to one of the rides.

Amu felt herself turn red at the contact and she was able to mutter a 'what are you doing' to Ikuto without seeming as if the hand in hers affected her. He turned his head in her direction and his smirk widened.

"Rollercoaster." He paused a bit," Unless you're too scared that is." He said in a mocking tone. Amu twitched at the comment.

"I-I'm not you jerk!"

Ikuto's midnight blue eyes sparkled in anticipation. "We'll see about that Amu."

The rollercoaster was something Amu had never seen in her entire life. It had everything a ride should have and more. With its five loops, three corkscrews, two 200-feet drops, special affects, and the grand 500 foot drop at the beginning of the ride all topped with the fact that it went 75 miles per hour made it one of the most extreme rides Amu had ever been on. She could honestly say it both terrified her and excited her at the same time. When the ride was over, she felt a bit dazed but other than that she enjoyed herself. Ikuto seemed bored by the ride but the small twitch in his mouth said otherwise.

"That was the best coaster I've ever ridden!" Amu stated once they left the ride. She turned to see Ikuto look at her funny. She raised one of her eyebrows in confusion. Before she could speak however, Ikuto coughed and asked her why she was staring. At this, Amu blushed in embarrassment.

"I-I was not staring at you! I was looking at that-"She quickly looked behind him," that foods stand!" The blue haired king slowly turned around and saw the food stall in question and then again at the pink haired girl. He chuckled.

"Whatever you say…"

"It's the truth!"

"Sure…"

Amu screamed in irritation which made Ikuto let out a short laugh. He saw her cross her arms and pout and he fought the urge to smile. Amu was getting to him and that wasn't a good thing. Or was it?

Ikuto put a hand on top of Amu's forehead and just let it lie there for a moment. Amu's eyes hesitantly moved towards Ikuto who was moving closer and closer to her. The pink haired girl closed her eyes and moved closer to Ikuto and she stood on her toes to reach him better. She felt a hot breath near her lips and then…

She screamed when she felt her hair being messed up by Ikuto's hand. She swatted the hand and glared at the laughing king in front of her. She felt her warm cheeks grow even warmer.

"It's not funny!" It took a while for Ikuto to sober up and respond to Amu's statement although she wished he hadn't.

"What did you think I was going to do hmm?" Amu started sputtering some nonsense which only made Ikuto chuckle. She was so much fun to tease.

Ikuto thought that he teased her enough for the moment and took her hand and started to drag her towards another ride. He ignored the slight squeak she made when he touched her hand and continued on.

He stopped for a moment and looked at her. "Which ride do you want to go on?"

Amu looked down and thought about it for a few seconds until she pointed at another rollercoaster. Ikuto nodded and continued to drag her to the ride without saying anything else for a moment.

"Hey Ikuto…" It was soft but he heard it. Ikuto looked at Amu once again and saw that she was looking at him with determination in her eyes.

"Let's have fun ok?" She smiled. Ikuto looked shocked for a second until he shook his head and smiled slightly at her.

"Yeah."

With that said, Ikuto and Amu walked side by side to the ride in a comfortable silence. Their hands were still interlocked but neither Amu nor Ikuto wanted to let go.

"Come on Hinamori don't shy away! Be bolder damn it!"

"Souma-kun, even if you say that she can't hear you…"

"Nagihiko, I'm pretty sure Souma-kun can't hear you either."

"Nya, why are we spying on them again?"

Nadeshiko looked at the cat and gave him a smile," Souma-kun wants to play match maker."

"Crap! They're going on another ride! Come on Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, we got to follow them or we'll lose them!" Before the twins could respond, Kukai took their hands and started running in the direction Amu and Ikuto went.

Yoru sighed. "Hey wait for me nya!"

A figure looked at her mirror with a smirk on her face. She knew it was a good idea to plant cameras all over the kingdom so she could keep an eye on things. She knew the King had been acting weird ever since the ball and now she had a good idea why. It was that pink haired girl that was dancing with Tadase at the ball. The one who stole her spotlight was now trying to steal her King.

"What a small world…" She scoffed.

"Is there something wrong my Queen?" She saw Tadase look at her with concern and she shook her head.

"Nothing's wrong. In fact, everything is falling into place." She looked at the mirror once again and saw the pink haired girl, Amu as the King had called her, laugh at something the King had said. "And it's all thanks to this girl." Tadase had moved a little closer to the Queen and saw the girl in questioned. His eyes widened.

"That girl…"

"Darling is going to regret ever rejecting me." The Queen laughed and turned to Tadase. She cupped one of his cheeks and inwardly smirked at the pink color that his cheeks were turning. She knew he would do anything for her and now was the time to use it to her advantage.

"You'll help me won't you, my knight?"

"If that's what you wish for, my Queen."

"Excellent." She let go of his cheek and turned towards the mirror again. "Change of destination then. Tadase, notify the driver that we're going somewhere different. We're not going to the spa anymore."

"Where are we going then my Queen?"

Saaya smirked, her eyes never leaving the mirror and the two people in it. "We're going to visit the little diva's place."

Can anyone guess who the 'little diva' is?

Next chapter will have the amuto date XD

By the way the rollercoaster mentioned here is NOT real. I don't think it's possible to make a rollercoaster like that anyway, but since this story doesn't take place on Earth, it exists since physics does not apply :P
