Hime: I do not own anything! Please enjoy!

After finishing their meal, Amu started the Amu Trivia.

"Ok, my favorite color?"

"Red!" yelled Rima.

"No! It's-!"

Natsuki grinned, interrupting him, "Sorry Nagi-kun but no take backs!"

"But-!"

"The answer is pink" Cheiko calmly said.

Amu smiled, "Correct!"

"Why isn't it red?" yelled Rima.

"Because it never was Rima-chan. What made you think it was red?" asked Nagi.

"Well…she was always so crazy about red plaid…"

Nagi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "That's only because it matched her uniform Rima!"

Amu sweatdropped and moved on to the next question, "Favorite ice-cream flavor?"

"Chocolate" Ikuto answered instantly.

"Correct!" smiled Amu.

"Next one" Cheiko told her through gritted teeth.

"Ok, who is my favorite mangaka?"

Immediately the Guardian's eyes all looked at Yaya.

'Why is everybody staring at Yaya?"

"Because only you and Amu are crazy about manga and all that anime stuff!" Kukai told her.

Natsuki smirked and answered the question, "Shouoto Aya"

"Correct!"

Rima sent a glare in Yaya's direction, making Yaya feel guilty.

"Ok…what is my favorite type of shoe?"

"Boots?" Utau tried.

"Flats?" asked Yaya.

"Platforms" answered Megumi.

"Correct!"

Megumi beamed whilst Rima groaned; she seriously hoped their luck would turn around soon…

"Okay…what are the names of all my family members?"

"Midori, Tsumugu, Ami, Eriko & Shuu Hinamori."

Almost immediately, everyone turned to stare at Ikuto.

"What?"

"Ikuto…" Amu said slowly, "How did you know all my family member's names?"

"Stalker" Natsuki whispered in Cheiko's ear, making Cheiko snicker.

"You told me before" Ikuto answered impassively.

"No I didn't!"

"Could we just get on with it?" asked Utau, growing impatient.

Amu sighed but asked the next question.

"Ok…my full name?"

"Amuri Sakura Hinamori" Nagi answered instantly.

"How did you know that?" Tadase asked.

"We read her file before she came didn't we?" he reminded him.

Tadase nodded, remembering whilst Amu sweatdropped remembering how they teased her about her fear for scary stories.

Cheiko frowned, now they were tied.

2 more questions to win…

"Ok, what is my favorite season?"

"Spring!" yelled Yaya.

"Wrong! It's summer!" yelled Natsuki excitedly.

"Correct!"

Natsuki smirked and Yaya pouted.

"What is my favorite English book of all time?"

Now that stumped the Guardians.

"You actually read?" Kukai asked in disbelief.

Ikuto meawhile was whacking his brain to try and remember that book Amu always had on her desk.

CRAP! WHAT WAS THE DAMN NAME?

"The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross" Megumi answered.

"Which you love to reread every now and again" added Natsuki.

Amu sweatdropped, "How did you know that?"

Cheiko rolled her eyes, "We know practically everything about you Amu plus we know you treasure it because it's always on your bedside table."

Amu smiled and the Iro Hime smiled back.

Rima looked on with a scowl on her face.

"We won, nice game." Natsuki told the Guardians.

"Honestly, I was surprised you managed to actually beat us for the past 3 questions" Cheiko said.

"Nice effort though" complimented Megumi.

The Guardians sighed, not believing that they had been beaten whilst Amu rested her back on her chair, the drama finally over.

Now I can relax…

When Amu returned home, she found it empty and found a note saying that her family had went out to buy some things to fix up a special dinner that night. After taking a shower, Amu went downstairs to find her Sweet Spirit asleep on the kitchen counter, making Amu giggle. She picked up the sleeping Plum and brought her back to her room. She set Plum down one Ran's old bed which included a small, cute little basket with pink bed covers. After tucking her in, Amu took a step back and watched as Plum slept peacefully.

She looks so cute…

Suddenly Plum began to stir and her eyes fluttered open, "Amu-chan?"

"Plum"

"What am I sleeping in?"

"Ran's old bed."

Plum nodded, Amu had told her about her Shugo Chara and Plum concluded that the Sweet Spirits & Shugo Chara could be somewhat related considering the similar characteristics but of course that was all a theory.

"I saw some raspberries earlier in the fridge. How about we make a raspberry cordial?"

Amu smiled at the idea, "Sure"

In the kitchen,

Emptying the frozen raspberries into a pot and adding a little more than a cup of sugar just how she likes it, Amu turned on the stove and sat down in a chair to wait for the mixture to come to a simmering boil together with Plum. But unknown to Amu, she did not notice the person behind her, watching her intently.

Ikuto looked at Amu, he had always thought Amu to be cute but now all he could say was that Amu was a real sight to see. Currently, Amu's long flowing bubblegum pink hair flowed down her back and several strands of time were tied in braids. She wore a pink oversized tee that had a yellow diamond on it, above it were the words 'All About The Rock' and below it were cross bones. Along with the T-shirt, Amu wore a pair of black shorts.

But of course, even he had to admit that Amu was hot now. She looked amazing when she came to the Royal Garden earlier. He breathed in deeply, Amu have indeed changed, but just how much? Or is it just physically?

"Ikuto? What are you doing here?"

Oh…NOW she notices.

"Just wanted to see you and ask you about that thing" he answered, pointing to Plum.

"You can see her?" she asked surprised.

Ikuto nodded and Amu told him all about Plum and the Sweet Spirits.

"Nice to meet you Ikuto-kun!" Plum greeted him, smiling.

Ikuto nodded.

"I don't see Yoru. Where is he?" Amu asked.

"Outside, playing."

"Amu-chan, can I go outside and play with Yoru-kun?" Plum asked, excited at the thought of making a new friend.

"Sure, go ahead."

When Plum had left the room, the two teens was alarmed by the smell of smoke which started the fire alarm blaring over their heads.

"Fuck" Amu cursed as she ran to where her cordial was and waved her hands in the air, in attempt to disperse the smoke that had quite filled the kitchen.

Coughing, she took the scorched pot and placed it in the sink as Ikuto opened the windows to let the smoke out. Amu breathed a sigh of relief when the fire alarm stopped.

"That was close"

"Sorry, it was my fault for distracting you."

"True but I just thank god that Cheiko isn't here. She'll lecture me all day long if she saw this."

Ikuto nodded and volunteered to help Amu clean up. As Amu scrubbed the pot, Ikuto helped wiped down the tabletops.

"Hey Ikuto?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you need something?"

"I wanted to see if you were free tomorrow morning."

"Why?"

"The Guardians wanted to take out to the amusement park tomorrow."

"Oh, well I guess it's okay."

"But don't bring your friends though."

Amu turned to look at him, confused, "Why?"

"The Doll is still pissed that they lost earlier."

"Oh…ok. Sure I guess" she said turning her attention back to scrubbing the pot.

"I'm done here" Ikuto announced.

"Okay, thanks Ikuto" she turned to bid him goodbye but was surprised to see him already in front of her.

She could do nothing but watch as Ikuto reached a hand up into her hair and stroke it softly.

Amu was alarmed to see that Ikuto's eyes had a look in them that was oh too familiar to her.

"Ikuto?"

Snapping out of it, he took a step back, embarrassed.

"I-I'll see you tomorrow."

And with that, he jumped our of the window, leaving Amu in a daze.

Ikuto...he's in love with me?
