Bender: -noming on chocolate bunny- Man I love finding Easter candy...

Ikuto: Why? It's just chocolate

Every girl in the room except Bender: :O Just chocolate? What's wrong with you?

Bender: -watching them yell at Ikuto- Nom nom nom. Bunny :3 Disclaimer! :D

Sebastian: Bender-sama doesn't own Shugo Chara.

Ikuto: -has all the girls sitting on his back- Who's this guy?

Bender: The hottest anime man I've ever seen ^/ / /^

Ikuto: -staring- Uhuh...sure...

Amu's POV

I stalked into homeroom, already ready for the day to be over.

"Amu-chan? What's wrong?"

"Reality. Life. Stupid seniors..." I grumbled the last part, and slumped into my seat.

"Uh...full sentences please, Amu-chan?" Nagi's eyebrows were raised, needing clarification.

"Ikuto graduates this year..."

"Yeah, we know. What's wrong with that?" Nagi asked, still confused.

"Ikuto graduates this year! As in he's going to leave! He's going to college, and I won't be able to see him for two years!" I cried.

"Oh..." They breathed in unison.

"W-well where is he going to college?" Nagi asked, probably hoping to find something good about him leaving... But there isn't one!

" know, that one really big music school...in America!" I snapped. "He's going to America, and I'll be stuck here for two more years! I'm going to lose him! He's going to go off to college, find some pretty girl his own age, and end up breaking up with me over the phone!"

"...Now you're just dramatizing. Ikuto loves you. No, he's in love with you! Why else would he give you that promise ring?" Rima snapped.

I opened my mouth to speak, but closed it again. I avoided looking them in the eyes, and bit down on my lower lip.

Rima groaned. "What did you do?"

"Well..."

Flashback-Right before school

"Amu! Amu I got in!" Ikuto had a huge grin on his face, as he ran up to me.

"Huh? Got in where?"

"Julliard. They're giving me a scholarship." He grinned, grabbing my hands.

"Where's Julliard?"

Ikuto avoided looking me in the eyes then, and I paled.

"Ikuto, where's Julliard?"

"New York..."

"New York? As in...America's New York?"

"Is there one in Japan?"

My bangs fell over my eyes. "Of course not... Well...congradulations. Have fun in New York." My voice cracked on 'fun', and I started running towards the school.

Flashback over

Rima face-palmed, and gave me a small glare.

"What?"

"You're an idiot."

"But I-! Yeah I know." I slumped further down in my seat. "But...Rima what would you do if Nagi were to leave to America when you wouldn't even graduate high school for two years?"

"..."

"Exactly! What would you have expected me to do?"

"But Amu, did you once think about how hard it's going to be on Ikuto? You're not the only one that can't see who you love for two years."

I let my bangs fall over my eyes. "I know... I guess I was just being selfish..."

"Stop smiling bitterly. It's pointless." Rima rolled her eyes.

I glared at her playfully. "Ikuto's right. You are an evil chibi."

Rima glared at me. "He said what now?"

Nagi smiled nervously. "H-he was just joking Rima-chan!"

She let out a small 'hmph!' before looking away from us.

I sighed, feeling the last of my energy just draining away. "Nagi, why do I feel like I've been punched in the stomach?"

"Because the person you love the most is leaving you! Ohohohohoho! I knew this would happen soon enough!"

"Saaya..." I grumbled, looking up to see the thing of evil. "What's wrong? Get pulled back a few years 'cause of your crappy grades?" I smirked. Seeing her so taken back is one of my favorite things to see.

"W-well...at least my boyfriend isn't leaving me!"

"Like you could get one."

"Oh please! You know that all the guys want me!"

I put my finger on my lips. "No...no I think that they wanted sex with you." I snapped my fingers. "Yep! That's it!"

Her lip curled back in a snarl.

"You know you never really answered me."

"Answered what, Amu?" She sneered my name.

"Whether or not you got pulled back a few years."

Saaya let out a loud 'hmph!', and stomped off.

"She's lucky Utau wasn't here." Rima glared at Saaya from across the room.

I shrugged, and pulled out my cell. I dialed Utau's number, and put the phone to my ear. Utau answered with a yawn.

"What's up?"

"...Are you even at school today?"

"Nope. I skipped. But my parents caught me, so I'm stuck watching Hikaru."

"Want me to come help you?"

"Yes! Please! I don't know how to take care of a kid!"

...Her kids are all doomed.

"You have Ikuto next class, right Amu-chan?" Nagi asked, earning a small nod from me. "Apologize, so he won't feel so guilty."

After a minute I nodded. He was right. I was being selfish, and Ikuto must've already felt guilty enough as it is.

"Hm? What's Nagihiko talking about?"

"I...I found out where Ikuto's going to college..."

"Oh...right... Well, you're still coming, right? I'll let you rant."

I smiled a little. "Yeah, sure. I'm on my way." Ikuto can wait for now.

Right as the bell rang I jumped up from my seat, and ran to my locker to grab my bag.

"Rose! Rose, what are you doing?"

I turned around, and saw one girl chasing another down the hall.

"What do you think I'm doing, Sarah?"

"I think you're trying to tell him!"

"What's wrong with that?"

"You're gonna scare him away!"

"But I love him!"

"So?"

"Love doesn't last..." I muttered, my eyes narrowing.

"Er...okay." One of them muttered, and kept on running.

I rolled my eyes. Younger girls are so naive...

One drive later...

"Amu!" Utau yelled, running down the walk to her house, and nearly jumping me. "Just so you know, I'm not gonna let you be depressed!" She must've seen the look in my eyes because her grin grew. "I'm gonna teach you how to get over him while he's gone!"

"But...I don't want to..."

"'Don't want to', what Amu-nee-chan?" Hikaru asked, tugging on my shirt sleeve.

"Amu doesn't want to forget nii-chan."

"Why?"

"Because she loves him."

Hikaru's hand flew up. "Hikaru loves someone, too!" Utau grinned, and Hikaru nodded. "I love Momo-chan!"

"Our neighbor?" He nodded, and started running over to the house next to Utau's. "...No comment." Utau looked back over at me. "Now then! Let's begin the teaching!"

I groaned inwardly. I love Utau, but she's so pushy.

"First things first-you both have two years to find someone new. And Amu, you're-"

"Utau, seriously, I don't want to get over him. I love him, I just...I'm afraid to lose him to some big-boobed slut."

"Oh come on Amu, you know Ikuto wouldn't fall for someone like that."

"Well...yeah...but...still! I know what people say about long-distance relationships, and how they end up having to break up for no good reason."

Utau grabbed my hand, and led me into the livingroom. She sat me down on the couch, and half-heartedly slapped me.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?"

"Go tell Ikuto all that you've told me,Nagihiko and Rima!"

"But-!"

"No buts!" She yelled, and pulled out her cell phone. She frowned, and tears came to her eyes.

"Utau?"

"Shh!" She scowled then returned to her sad face. "M-Michaelis-sensei?" My biology teacher? What's she planning? "I'm Utau Tsukiyomi, Ikuto's little sister." She made her voice crack when she said Ikuto's name. "I really need him home! Our brother might've broken his leg, and I can't drive, and our parents are at work, and he won't stop crying for his big brother, and we just really really need him home right now!" Utau erupted with tears-and not silent ones. She smirked, and held the phone up to my ear.

"Tsukiyomi, you need to go home now. I'll tell the office you left."

"Why?" Ikuto's voice was emotionless.

"Your brother needs a ride to the hospital. Now get going! He's on his way Utau."

"Thank you!" She ended, letting her voice crack again, and hung up the phone. She wiped her eyes dry, and smirked. "And the Grammy goes to Miss Hoshina Utau for her amazing performance!"

I grinned, and started applauding. "Wow. That took some skill. Now, why are you making me do this?"

"So Ikuto knows you're not mad at him."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Amu, you know how smart I am," I slowly nodded, afraid that if I didn't I'd get slapped again. "Even I thought you were mad at him. That's why I was gonna help you get over him."

"Oh..." I hope he didn't think I was mad.

Ikuto burst through the door, gasping for air. "What's wrong with Hikaru?" I bit my lip, and stood up, locking eyes with Ikuto. His gaze flew to the floor. "Oh. I'm sorry. I guess that was just a lie." He turned back to the door, and Utau grabbed his shoulder.

"You're not going anywhere," She started, her eyes narrowed dangerously. "You're going to stay here, and talk to your girlfriend." He turned him around to me, and pushed him foreward. "I'm leaving. Now play nice!" She yelled, and slammed the door shut behind her.

"So..." He started. "Are you leaving, or am I?" He sighed, and turned towards the staircase.

I bit down on my lip, and ran up to him. "Don't go!"

He stared down at me, his eyebrows furrowed. "But I thought you were mad at me."

Dammit! Utau was right!

"No! I just...I just..." I sighed. "I'm just afraid of losing you."

His frown deepened, and he pulled me closer. "Why would you think that?"

"Because you're going to be around a bunch of hot girls your own age, and I'll just be some girl you dated in high school."

He laughed bitterly. "Just some girl? Have you seen yourself lately?" I blushed slightly, and he smiled. "So you're not mad?"

"Of course not."

"Good. Now just one more question." I nodded. "As soon as I graduate, will you marry me?"

Bender: Cliffy-ness!

Ikuto: D:

Amu: o.0 Aren't I 16?

Bender: Yeah.

Ikuto: And I'm 18?

Bender: Yeah.

Amu: 16-year-olds can't get married!

Bender: They can if they get parental permission :P Now then! My (hopefully still) faithful readers; I love you. Please don't kill me :3

Readers: -twitch twitch- Get her.

Bender: Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! -runs away-
