The air got mistier as the sky grew darker. Freddie bravely walked through the dark suburban streets of Japan with Jay on his shoulder yet again.

"Which street is the school?" Freddie asked Jay.

"They probably wouldn't be at the school so you would have to visit one of the houses. I recommend Amu 'cause she's one of the nicer ones," Jay answered.

"Okay. Whatever you say. Where's her address?"

About five minutes later, Freddie walked up to a normal looking house on a normal looking street. There were normal streets lights and house lights in each building. In the far distance, Freddie could barely tell out a school building painted in big letters "Seiyo Academy."

"This is it, right?" Freddie asked Jay again.

"Yep. Just knock on her door and say that you're a friend of hers at school. When she sees me, she'll know what's up."

Freddie gulped and slowly paced to the front door. He slowly knocked on it. The person who opened the door was none other than a little girl with pink hair smiling up at them.

"Hey Amu," she yelled, "Someone's here to see you. They have a 'you-know-what!'" The little girl giggled and ran off, letting through a older version of the girl, also with pink hair and a nice smile. She wore a red plaid skirt with a white shirt, brown belt, red tie, black jacket, and red plaid socks that went up to her knees. She noticed Jay and pulled Freddie inside. They came into a small room that looked somewhat like the hotel room but a bed with red sheets and on the walls were posters of people Freddie didn't recognize. The girl sat him down on the bed and sat next to him.

"Hi," she said to Freddie, "I'm Amu. I saw you have a Guardian character. Want any tea?"

"No thanks."

Amu got up and poured herself tea into a china cup from a nice looking tea pot. She took her cup and sat back down next to Freddie, "Can you introduce yourself?"

"Oh, yeah! I'm Freddie Benson," he put out his hand to shake hers, but she didn't understand. He put it back down, "I'm the tech producer for the web-show ICarly."

"Oh I love that show! It's so funny!"

Freddie thought about that for a moment and remembered Ikuto, "Does your last name happen to be Hinamori?"

"Yes. How do you know this?"

"I ran into your boyfriend at the airport."

"I don't have an official boyfriend."

"Official?"

"Yeah, me and this one guy have been going on and off and… This is not why you're here isn't it?"

Freddie glanced over at Jay and then back at Amu, "I'm here because my friend's egg turned into an 'X' egg and my rival is now working with Easter and has taken my friend in exchange for the Embryo, which he thinks I have."

"Wow. That's… intense pressure. Do you actually have the Embryo though?"

"No way! I pretty much have no idea where or what its real powers does."

"He doesn't have it," Jay summarized.

"Ok then. Tomorrow I got to take you to the school and you can help us get your friend's egg back," Amu told Freddie and Jay.

"I'm kay with that," Jay said, "What about you Freddie?"

"Well, we have the rehearsals and my mother's going to be worried…" Freddie answered.

"Don't be freaked about your mom!" Jay flew in front of Freddie, "I'm your Guardian character, "From now on, I'm supposed to help you out with being independent."

"But I am independent!"

Jay gave Freddie a look.

"Okay," Freddie continued.

"You can stay here overnight," Amu said to Freddie, "I'm pretty sure my parents won't mind a friend spending the night."

"Onee-chan!" a little girl's voice called, "What are you doing?!"

"Talking to a friend, Ami,"Amu called back. She turned to Freddie, "My little sister. She met you at the door."

"Oh," Freddie responded. Jay sat motionless on Freddie's shoulder.

"So what now?" Amu asked the pair.

Freddie glanced over at Jay. Jay shrugged.

A few seconds later, Amu, Freddie, and Jay heard a knock on the front door.
