Amuchia: Oh, hi. I didn't see you there. /eats cake/ What was that? You're going to murder me? Pfft, I was only gone for 10 months! :D
Amuchia: No, but seriously, I'm sorry.
Anna-lee: CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
Amuchia: Oh god, she's already here. Run for your lives!
Caisey: GET BACK HERE!
Anna-lee: CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
Amuchia: WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS RUNNING YET?! SHE'S GAINING ON US!
Caisey: DAMN IT, ANNA-LEE! /skids to a stop/ Oh right, the disclaimer. /gets out script/
Caisey: Let's see here… Amuchia does not own Shugo Chara or any of its characters. Shugo Chara belongs to Peach-Pit, plain and simple. Now, back to Anna-lee… /chases her again/
Recap
"I'm just gonna say it, Amu." I said with confidence. She looked surprised at my sudden outburst, but even more surprised when I leaned in and kissed her, smack-bang on the lips.
"I love you."
End Of Recap
~Normal POV~ (Which it will probably stay as for a long time)
She looked at him with eyes wide, her mouth gaping open in shock. Was he serious?!
"I-Uh.. What?" she managed, looking absolutely bewildered.
"I just told you. I love you." he replied, a genuine smile dancing across his lips. Amu blushed.
''I…" she was about to continue when Ikuto held a finger to her lips.
"You don't have to tell me anything until you're ready. After all, we still have 2 days." he said, smirking.
"Okay then… But you don't have long left, do you?" Amu answered, smirking like Ikuto. But his smirk disappeared on that comment. He gave a sad smile as he pulled her in for a hug, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Ikuto?" she questioned, surprised.
"Make sure you fall in love with me by then, okay?" he asked. The two sat there in silence, not moving from their current position as Amu was lost in deep thought.
~Switch to Nagihiko and Rima~
"I don't need your help, idiot." Rima stated, looking angry as she tried to squirm out of his hold. Nagihiko simply laughed as he continued to stir the mixture. Rima dropped her arms to her sides as she huffed in annoyance.
"Are you sure? It looked like you were having some trouble…" Nagihiko asked, not wanting to offend her, but not wanting to lie either.
"Hey, I was doing fine on my own!" Rima grumbled, glaring at him.
"Sure, sure." he replied, smiling as he grabbed an ingredient and added it to the mixture.
"Hmph."
~Switch to Kukai and Utau~
Utau sighed as Kukai looked at her, worried.
"You've been like that for a while now… What's wrong?" Kukai asked.
"It's just… Is Amu going to be okay?" she replied, looking concerned.
"I'm sure she'll be just fine. I mean, it is your brother who is looking after her." he stated with a laugh. Utau nodded and looked surprised as Kukai suddenly jumped up from his previous position on the couch.
"I've got it! Let's go on a date!" he exclaimed enthusiastically. Utau stared at him, confused.
"Uh… Okay, but why?" she asked.
"It will help to take your mind off things." he said with a gentle smile as he gave her a thumbs-up.
~Switch to Nagihiko and Rima~
"NAGIHIKO, HELP!" Rima screamed. Nagihiko ran in, and stopped as he observed the scene in front of him. He noticed that the waffles were starting to burn as Rima was trying to work out the waffle iron, it was quite a mysterious contraption in her eyes. Nagihiko gave her a look which clearly was saying, "...Really, Rima-chan?"
"How the heck do I turn this blasted thing off?!" she shouted at him, looking distraught. Nagihiko sighed as he walked over and turned it off. Rima looked at the waffle iron in disbelief.
"B-But how?" she questioned.
"Easy. I know basic cooking. You don't." he replied bluntly. Rima pouted as she karate-chopped him on the head.
"Ow, ow! I was kidding!" he said with a nervous laugh, feeling Rima's eyes death-glaring at him.
"Better have been." she muttered.
~Switch to Ikuto and Amu~
"So… Want to do anything?" Ikuto asked. Amu stared at him for a second before she got off the bed and looked up at him.
"Let's go for a walk!" she exclaimed cheerily as she hopped out of the room and down to the front door, Ikuto following behind her. He smirked and grabbed her hand. She turned to him in surprise, blushing as she turned away.
They exited the building as a burst of fresh air hit them, Amu smiling like a dork as they headed towards a walking route. Ikuto smiled at her, but then he looked sad. He probably wouldn't be able to enjoy this bliss for long.
Amu stopped as she frowned, seeing Ikuto looking dull.
"What's wrong?" she asked, concern evident in her honey-coloured orbs.
"Ah, it's nothing." he said, throwing her a fake smile.
"If you say so…" she trailed off. Walking along this path, they could see a great view of the beach and a pretty garden. Amu looked intrigued as she unconsciously starting dragging Ikuto towards it.
"Where are you taking me now…?" he questioned with a sigh.
"Look!" she answered with a giggle as she pointed at the garden in front of them. Ikuto stopped to appreciate the beauty as Amu let go of his hand and walked in.
"Hey! Wait, I don't think you're allowed in ther-" he stopped again, blushing slightly as Amu was basically dancing with the flowers, full of joy and energy. He smiled sadly, still stuck on the same thought.
"I don't ever want to lose something as precious as this."
Amuchia: And that's it! Sorry that it is super short, I'm racking my head for ideas, but it's 2am and I'm tired and stuff. I just wouldn't feel right if I didn't finish this tonight/today. I feel really, really bad for taking forever to update. I've been changing schools, starting stories when I need to finish my other ones, such as this one, and stuff just happened. Also, I have a terrible sleep pattern and I'm trying to get out of it, but it's really hard to do. xD
Amuchia: I'll try to make this as short as possible, since it would even annoy me to read really long intros and outros. THEY ANNOY ME. I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHY I'M DOING THEM. For fun, maybe? Oh well. To the review corner! :D
Review Corner:

I might do that story idea another day, but maybe not in this one, it sort of destroys the plot (not trying to offend you), but it's still a really good idea and I think it deserves to be made into a story :3
