-Does not pertain to story don't be confused-

Hope you enjoy this marvelous brake from the story, this is supposed to take place about half way though the original story ; )

-Amu POV (Naturally)

A snowflake fell on my nose causing me to sneeze in the middle of Joy to the World.

"Come on Amu wipe that nose and bear through it!" My dad sing songed as I wiped the melted snow off my nose.

"I think I left my caroling scarf at home…" I said and rushed off down the street.

"Come back quickly, we're about to do Silent night!" My dad shouted after me as Him my mom and Ami went into Rocking Around the Christmas Tree. As soon as I got about a block away I began to slow my pace and sing to myself.

"Silent night, holy night just as-"

"Yo." A familiar voice said behind me. I whipped around to find… Tadase?

"What are you doing here Tadase?" I said sounding sort of dejected.

"I thought I'd try a different greeting he, he. I'm here cuz I saw you walking by, I thought I'd just say hi." He smiled.

I blushed ferociously and looked down. On Christmas is when you should confess your love.

"Tadase I really like-." I began but a girl with brown hair cut in and hugged Tadase.

"Tadase I'm getting cold and your parents are waiting for us." She whined and flipped her hair. "Who is this? Introduce us!" She demanded.

"Oh sorry, Saaya this is Amu, Amu this is Saaya my-." Saaya cut Tadase off.

"I'm his girlfriend, and we have to go so bye." She said grabbing Tadase and marching off into the night.

"I'll see you at school!" He called over his shoulder.

"Yea see you." I mumbled to myself. Sad and rejected I walked and walked until I found myself outside the amusement park that was getting torn down. I wandered in and found my self in the tea cups. And started singing a song.

In this room where shadows live

And ghosts that failed learn time forgives

Welcome friends, please stay awhile

Our story starts with one small child

Who spends this night in attic dark

Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts-

"Wow I never thought a strawberry would be in a place like this on Christmas night." Ikuto said as he popped up behind me. By instinct when something surprises you, I took off my shoe and hurled it at his head.

-Smack-

"Owwwww that hurt Amu." Ikuto whined as he brought my shoe back to me.

"Sorry you surprised me." I said taking a deep breath.

"So what are you doing here Amu?" Ikuto questioned.

"Hiding from the caroling of the tone deaf." I said letting my cool and spicy character show.

"Ok, now what are you really doing here." He said looking into my eyes that, the little traitors, gave away what I was really doing.

"Well I figured you would be here." I mumbled out and blushed. Wow never thought I would admit that one that quick.

"Thought so." He smirked and curled up next to me and bit my ear.

"Augh! God Ikuto, do that again and I'll leave." I said frowning at him.

"No you wont you love me too much." Ikuto smirked at his own comment.

" Oh heck no." I folded my arms and scooted away from him.

"Ok what would you rather have this year, Tadase fall in a hole and be trapped for hours or have Saaya be adopted by a pack of nudists?" Ikuto chuckled showing that once in a life time smile.

"Oh wow how about both hahahahah." I said laughing whole heartedly for the first time in weeks. It's amazing how Ikuto can do this to me.

"Amu I think you should go back to caroling with your family, you know be with the ones who love you and stuff." Ikuto said pushing off the tea cup to get out of it.

"Aren't I already?" I said smiling up to Ikuto.

"Very funny, but I mean people related to you." He said starting to walk away.

"Why don't you come with me." I gave him my improved Bambi eyes.

"No I don't like all that mushy family crap thanks."

"You get to spend a whole 3 hours with me…"

"Count me in!" And with that we walked together off to find my parents to go caroling with the ones you love : )
