Amu's POV

"And next up is... Midnight Moon!" The announcer called enthusiastically. Ikuto, wearing a formal-looking tuxedo and pants stepped onto the stage. A single spotlight made him stand out. As the song started, all of the stage lights turned on, revealing the rest of the band. Ikuto sang most of the song; Kukai did the rap. After the performance, they exited the stage, but not before Ikuto stepped to the front of the stage to say something.

"This is dedicated to a girl I only vaguely remember. A girl I fell in love with, but now slipped from my memory. But still, I feel she is still close to me. Very close." And with that, he left. For some unknown reason, the words left a tingling in my heart. Who did he mean? Did the "slipped from his memory" part have something to do with the bad chara? Ikuto stepped off the stage, him shoulder brushing me as he passed. As he walked by, he gave me a smile.

"...Heart Key! Singing Angel with a Shotgun!" The announcer was saying. The crowd roared. I straightened my dress and stepped onto the stage, my friends following. The crowd screamed even more as the backdrop changed to what looked like it was once a magnificent city.

I smiled at the audience, then nodded to my band mates.

Utau started the song, repeating the title several times. Yaya sang the "oh, yeahs." I sang all the way to the word "trigger," and then Rima did her solo up to "a soldier I will be," and we all joined in for the chorus.

Yaya sang after the chorus, up to "dreamer," and Nadeshiko continued the song up to the chorus. We all sang the chorus several times.

Utau sang the "Ohs," and Yaya sang the "oh, yeahs." Rima repeated the name of the song, up until Nadeshiko's verse. Nadeshiko sang the chorus again, in a low voice. I sang the chorus again after her.

The last verses were sang by Rima. We ended the song with our heads bowed. The audience screamed and whistled. I smiled and walked to the front of the stage, microphone in hand.

"Thank you, everyone! Remember: Fight for your love!" The girls in the audience screamed and we smiled, then exited the stage.

Again, Ikuto was waiting for me.

"Nice performance," He said.

"Um, yeah... thanks..." I said.

"Hey, do I know you? Like, personally?" He asked.

"...?"

"As in, without the wig," He repeated.

"N-no! Of course not! Hehe!" I rubbed the back of my head nervously. "Why'd you ask a question like that?"

"It's just..." He glanced at me. "It feels like I know you. Really well..." I was panicking inside. I nodded, saying "that's nice," and rushed out. He stared after me, confused. If Ikuto still remembers me, that would be the me right now, right? I didn't know where this was headed. I've got it! I just got to change my attitude and appearance at school -not like an extreme makeover, but something nicer- and Ikuto will forget about me, right?

After the performance, I told this to my friends, and they reluctantly agreed.

"Okay... I get what you mean. Then how about you guys meet me at my house after school -oh, wait! Did I ever tell you I was moving in to a dorm?" Utau asked.

"Eeeeh!?" We said. "A dorm!?"

"Yeah! So tomorrow before school meet me at my dorm and I'll get you guys looking good!" Utau said, giving us directions to her dorm. Then we congratulated each other about our performance and were all about to leave for home when Rima grabbed the end of Utau's and my shirt.

"Utau... You moved into a dorm?" Rima asked.

"Y-yeah...?" Utau said, getting a little nervous.

"Then, I've decided. Do you have any dorm partners, yet?"

"These other random people, I think..."

"Then I've got it." Rima looked at us with a determined look on her face. "My parents won't have to fuss over me and control my freedom anymore if I move to a dorm."

"A dorm? You, too?" I asked her.

"Yes," She stated. "And you are coming, too."

"What!? Me!?"

"We should be able to get the applications in today and move in tomorrow," Rima mused, then turned to me. "Call your parents and tell them about it."

When I didn't move, she rolled her eyes, took my cell phone, and called my parents, explaining to them about the situation. I waited for my dad's voice to started wailing over the other end of the line...but it didn't. Instead, my parents squealed, saying that "their Amu is turning independent." They told me they just put a bunch of money into my bank account, so that should cover it. Then my mother said that she was going to pack my belongings that second, and they hung up.

"That was...unexpected..." Utau commented.

"Yeah..." I said. "So... where moving in?"

"I guess," Rima said, smiling at me.

Suddenly, I turned deaf.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!?" Someone screamed, then tackled us.

"YAYA!?" We yelped.

"I was going to beg my parents to not make me move into a dorm, but you guys all agreed!" Yaya wailed.

"Yaya, it'll be fine! That way, we'll all be together, right?" Another voice said.

"Nadeshiko, you, too?" I asked, surprised. She nodded.

"Then it's decided. We are all dorm buddies!" Utau said that rare hyper tone she has when she's extremely excited. I still don't understand how one decision of changing our attitude and appearance caused all this.

Suddenly, a limo screeched to a halt next to us.

Nadeshiko walked over. A man came out and opened the trunk, revealing many cardboard boxes.

"Already?" Nadeshiko asked. The man nodded.

"She's already moving in!?" I yelped.

"Yep! Oh, there's my stuff." Utau ran to the limo, picking up a few boxes. "Mrs. Fujisaki helped me bring these over. Yaya, come get yours!" Pouting, Yaya rushed to the limo.

"Yaya, too!? How'd this happen!? And, more importantly, how did I not know about this!?" I asked exasperatedly.

Suddenly, another car stopped beside the limo.

"Mama and Papa!? And Ami!?" I screeched.

"Amu-chan! We got everything packed for you!" Midori and Tsumugu called, Ami cheering them on. I shook my head, not believing how a single day can be so crazy. "And Rima-chan! Here are your things!"

"Rima!?" I looked at her, exasperated. She shrugged.

"I asked your parents on the phone," she explained, retrieving her boxes. I shook my head, once again not believing about the craziness just one day can contain. (A/N: So random!)

"Amu-chan!"

"Coming!" I yelled, running to the car.

XXXXXXXX

"Done!" I smiled at the result of cleaning my dorm. The door swung open. "Utau, I finished the look for our dorm-" The blue-haired boy standing in the doorway with a towel around his neck wasn't Utau, or Yaya, or Rima, or Nade.

"I-I-I-I-IKUTO!?" I screeched.

"My ear!" He hissed, then smiled. "And you called me Ikuto."

"S-sorry... But... TSUKIYOMI!? What are you doing here?"

"No, the question is: what are you doing in my dorm?"

"Your dorm!?"

"Yes, my dorm!?"

"What the heck!? It's my dorm!" I showed the dense idiot the dorm room sheet. He rubbed his head.

"Strange, because I have the exact same thing!" He showed his copy to me.

XXXXXXXXX

"Dude, I didn't know you were such close friends," Kukai said, rushing into the room and throwing himself on a bed.

"KUKAI!?" A girl's voice screeched.

"Utau!" I exclaimed. "Tsukiyomi said that this is his dorm."

"And mine!" Kukai protested.

"Shut up!" Utau barked at him, then turned back to me. "You sure? Absolutely positive?" I nodded.

"Souma! Dorm sheet!" Utau snapped. Kukai took out a sheet of paper. Utau snatched it and read it, then threw it on the ground and dragged me out the door.

"It's correct," she said.

"What should we do?" I asked.

"The lady said we can't switch rooms or move out until the next semester, so..."

"So?"

"So we'll have to bear with it," Utau said with a grim face. I was horrified.

Rima's POV

"Why is he here!?" I demanded, pointing to the surprised purple-haired bastard typing on a bed in my dorm.

"Rima?" He asked.

"I decided to visit my dorm and he was in there," I told the office lady I had dragged to the dorm.

"Sorry hon, but no can do. That was the only dorm left. And remember: You can't switch rooms or move out until the next semester. Good luck!" She left.

Furious, I sat down on a bed, my arms crossed.

"RIMA-CHI!" Yaya bounded in through the door. Her smile faltered when she saw the bastard. "Um... Rima? Why is-"

"I was informed that Yuiki Yaya and Mashiro Rima have moved in to the dorm I share with Souma Kukai. It seems my suspicions were confirmed." Kairi leaned against the doorframe.

"Kairi!? Why is Mr. Smarty Math Tutor slash Candy Companion here?" Yaya asked. My eyes widened.

"Don't tell me-" I stormed out of the dorm before finishing my sentence.
