Temari: This is the start of the end
Rhythm: At least we get to walk down memory lane
Kusukusu: I'll miss this story but it was pretty good while it lasted I think
Recap
They both looked at the director, then each other, then back at the director. The man looked terrified.
"Since we are our good charas then we can't do much harm," Rei said.
"But we can lock him in the room Rei was locked in. So that's exactly what all of them did. They then walked away from Easter and none of them would never return again for the rest of their lives.
Chapter 38
*Rima's POV*
It's been months since we destroyed Easter and was time for graduation. Aarin was a guardian too. All of us guardians got out early. Kukai, Utau, and Ikuto also joined us.
"Yaya will be the only one not graduating," she whined.
"It's alright Yaya. There will be new guardians," Rei said as she patted the Ace's head.
"Yaya doesn't know anymore people with charas," Yaya said upset.
"There will be more. If anything we can always help," Rei said.
"Excuse me," we heard. We all turned to see a boy with green hair and glasses. He looked about our age.
"Class Prez!" Yaya said as she ran to the boy and glomped him. I looked at Nagi and asked," who's that?"
"That's Kairi Sanjo, Utau's manager's little brother. He was the Jack before me," he explained.
"Oh," I said.
"Sanjo-kun, what are you doing here?" Tadase asked.
"Tsukasa-sama called me and said you guys will need another guardian since most of you are graduating," he said. Rei walked up to him.
"I'm Rei Mashiro but you can call me Rei. You are Kari Sanjo right? Yaya's told me a bit about you," Rei said as she offered his hand.
"Yes I am. I believe you are princess chair," Kairi said.
"Correct," he said as he managed to shake her hand with Yaya still glomping him.
"I'm Aarin Hill, I'm pretty new compared to everyone else," he said as he offered his hand too.
"Tsukasa sent me files so I know a bit about you," Kairi said as he once again managed to shake hands and be glomped by Yaya. The smart boy then looked at me.
"You must be queen's chair, Mashiro, Rima," he accused.
"Yeah," I said. I didn't shake his hand since I was on Nagi's lap.
"It's great that Kairi's back. We won't have to worry about the guardians stability," Amu said.
"Hey!" Yaya whined. She then cried random things as she shook Amu.
"Kairi confessed to Amu but he moved on," Nagi whispered in my ear.
"It seems every guy likes Amu at one time or another," I whispered back. He didn't say anything.
"Did you-"
"No, I didn't really like anyone since they couldn't like me the same way while I was a girl. You were the first girl I liked," he said then kissed my cheek.
"Get a room," Rei teased.
"You have no room to talk. I walked into our room the other day and you and Aarin were making out on your bed," I defended myself. Both of them had red faces. Aarin and Rei started dating after we left Easter. They had more of a best friend mood but they were defiantly boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Ikuto don't touch me," Amu yelled. Ikuto had secretly set her on his lap.
"I don't want to let go of my strawberry," he said as he set his chin on her shoulder.
"Utau help!" Amu begged. Utau was about to help when Kukai wrapped his arm around her.
"Yaya!" Amu begged once again for help. She was too busy glomping Kairi and telling him about our adventures.
"Rei?"
"Sorry Aarin's got me," she said as she pointed to his arms that were around her.
"Rima? Please!" Amu begged me last. I didn't even attempt to help her.
"Just make sure you behave kitty boy," I said.
"That's not helping!" Amu yelled.
"I told all the boys to help me out and hold the girls back so I could hold you," Ikuto said.
"Rima didn't even try!" Amu said.
"I told him to behave," I pointed out. Ikuto picked her up bridal style.
"Just make sure she's back before five. That's when the graduation is," Nagi said.
"Nagi, not you too," Amu whined. Ikuto jumped through a window and took off with her.
"As I was going to say. Since it is most of our graduations we don't have to help. Utau-onee san, Souma-kun, Yuiki-san and Sanjo-kun are going to set up," Tadase said then excused himself.
"I'll race you Utau!" Kukai challenged. They both ran out the door so fast there were dust cloud in their shape.
"They are so into each other," Nagi said.
"They have been dating ever since the day we destroyed Easter," I said. It is true that they've been more competitive but they make the bets that the loser kisses the winner.
"I want to tell you more Kairi-kun," Yaya said as she dragged him out. Kairi just smiled at her and let her drag him out. She didn't talk in third person with him. Those two might be a future couple.
"We're gonna go for a walk," Rei said as she grabbed Aarin's hand.
"Be safe," I said.
"You too," she said then they left. It was just me and Nagi.
"What do you want to do till five?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said.
"Let's have fun!" Kusukusu said.
"What would we do?" I asked.
"Since it's your last day at this school we should reminisce about the fun year we had here," Temari offered.
"Good idea," Nagi said. We didn't have to argue. The very first place we went to is the classroom.
"This is the first place we met," Nagi said.
"I remember I didn't like anyone and I even hated you at the time," I said.
"Nikaidou-sensei, are those are desks," I said pointing to the empty desks.
"Yes, Rei-san sits next to Himamori-san and Mashiro-san sits next to Fujisaki-san," the teacher said then turned to them," can you two raise your hands so they know who you are?" Amu raised my hand at the same time as Nagi.
"I'm Nagihiko Fujisaiki," he introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you," Rei said as she sat next to Amu. Nagi then looked at Rima. Rima looked away from him not even greeting him.
"Rima you're being rude," Rei whispered.
"Sorry Rei but I don't see the reason why I should make friends when I have you and," she made a cute face at the boys and they all, except Nagi and Tadase, surrounded her," I have people to take care of me."
"There were embarrassing times in this room too," I said.
"Like what?" Temari asked. I remember she wasn't there that day.
"Kusukusu and I character changed with Rima and Nagi and made them do Bala-Balance together," Rhythm informed.
"Rhythm you tire me out sometimes," Nagi said.
"You need to chill," Rhythm said.
"Rima is like that too," Kusukusu said.
"Kusukusu!" I whined. Rhythm and Kusukusu are getting along way better than Nagi and me.
"You know what to do?" Rhythm asked.
"Of course," Kusukusu said.
"Character change!" they both yelled. The star and teardrop appeared on my cheeks while headphones appeared on Nagi's shoulders. Both of us stood on our desks and yelled," Bala-balance," as we did the pose.
"There have been bad memories in this room," Kusukusu said.
"Like the time Saaya threw my bag in the closet then locked me in there," I said.
I was getting tired from all the stupid steps I had to go through but I made it to the classroom. Saya and her cronies were there.
"Mashiro-san you're a guardian, you are pretty close to Nagihiko-sama, we can't allow that," she said.
"What? I just came to get my bag," I said.
"You mean this," she said as she held up my bag. She then tossed it in the closet. I quickly went in. The worst thing happened. Saya closed the door. I heard the lock click.
"Good luck Mashiro-san," Saya said then laughed. I heard them leave the room. I was alone, in the dark. I stood frozen. This was like my kidnapping. Locked up, in the dark, frightening. I managed to sit on the floor and curl up in a ball. Tears were rimming my eyes but they were nearly frozen too.
"Rima, I can't push the lock. It's too heavy," Kusukusu said worried. I couldn't say anything, do anything.
"I'll go get help," she said. I didn't want to be alone. My world is so small and if I was alone then what would I do? I need someone here with me. Rei, why didn't I have you go with me?
"But there were good memories too. Nagi came in a rescued you. At the time you two weren't talking to each other but when he saved you from the closet you both came apologized and became true best friends," Rhythm said.
The door flew open. Speaking of him, there he was. I must've been a sight. I was curled up in a ball. Tears had managed to fall down my face. I quickly got up and hugged him close to me. He must've not been expecting my reaction because the impact pushed him into a desk.
"Rima," he said with worry as he hugged back. Tears were still falling but they were on his shirt. This must be a sign that I need to say I'm sorry.
"I'm so sorry for everything," I sobbed.
"Rima, why are you sorry?" he asked.
"Let me finish or I'll never say it," I said into his shirt. He stayed quiet.
"I never meant to yell at you. I was upset and I snapped. I don't want us to be silent near each other. I want things to go back the way they were," I sobbed the whole time. I heard him gasp.
"Rima, I'm sorry too. I knew you were upset and I still was a jerk," he said.
"I deserved it," I said.
"No you didn't," he said holding me closer to him. I was a bit shocked.
"I'm just glad you're back Rima," he said.
"That was the day Angel hatched the first time," Kusukusu said.
"Let's go to the school gates next," I said. We walked over there.
"This is the exact spot where Angel was floating when we first met her," Rhythm said.
"What?!" we heard Amu yell. The three of us ran to her.
"Amu what's-" Nagi said but then stopped. The four of us just stared stupidly. I was not expecting this. I can't believe it. How was this happening?
"Hello Rei, nice to finally meet you."
"What?" she said confused.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Angel, your chara," she said. Rei stared at the little angel chara in front of her.. She had dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She wore a dress that was a very light blue that it nearly looked white. It had a bow tied in the back. She had beautiful white wings.
"You're my chara?"she asked.
"Yes, I was born from the feeling of being a guardian angel," she said.
"But how?" she asked.
"You believed that you are a great guardian angel and I was born," she said.
"Let's go to the gym. I have a few good memories that I remember," Kusukusu said. We walked there next.
"This is where Rei cheered me up the day I did Bala-Balance in front of the class. This is where she sang that funny song," I said.
The seven things guys don't have to do|
shave legs, give birth, aunt Flow,
wear skirts, wax armpits
hey it hurts!
wear pantyhose, and paint your toes too
high heels, pluck brows, skip meals, count pounds
some girls have to carry heavy mounds

uncomfy thongs, tight bras, tampons
blow our money on beauty salons
flat iron burns, and health concerns
from hair dye fumes
and the reason why we do these crazy things
that we do
is we do it for you
*Nagi's POV*
"Rei always found a way to make you laugh. She always defended you," I said, "I remember in this exact place Rei thought that you liked me when you were really worried about her."
"What did Rima say?" Rei asked.
"Nothing really. She said she was told something last night that helped her open her eyes," I said.
"You're right Rei," Yaya said excited.
"About what?" I asked.
"We think Rima might have a crush on you," Amu said.
"Really?" I asked.
"She wants to tell you a secret and doesn't want me to know. Last night she asked me how to love, now she is getting really close to you," Rei said. I looked at Rima who was reaching for a box of decorations that were up high. She has a crush on me. That doesn't seem like Rima, but she is acting different today.
Rima grabbed my hands and pulled me. I wonder where she was taking me. She pulled me to the back side of the school building.
"This is where we decorated the school with window stickers," she said.
"I remember that," I said.
"How do we get them up there?" Rima asked.
"Where?" I asked.
"Up there on the windows of the school," she said.
"We could charanari," I said.
"True, but everyone would see us," she said.
"Then I'll do it. I don't care if they see me," I said.
"Then I'll do it too," she said.
"My heart unlock," we both said.
Charanari Clown Drop
Charanari Beat Jumper
"Let's just get this over with," Rima said. We opened the box to see hundreds maybe thousands of window stickers. I know this is a huge school but this is too much. There is no way we will get this done today.
"Tightrope dancer," Rima said. She used the ropes to get up there. She took one box with her.
"Our turn," I heard Rhythm say. I grabbed the other box and jumped up next to Rima.
"This also where you trusted me enough to jump off a building," I said.
"I knew you wouldn't let me splat on the grass," she said and smiled at me.
"Now getting down I didn't plan," she said.
"I'll jump and then catch you," I said. She looked at me, then down, then back at me.
"If I die then I'll haunt you," she said.
"That's fair," I said. I hopped down using Rhythm's power of course. My feet were perfectly fine.
"Now you jump and I'll catch you," I said. She hesitated for a few seconds but then jumped off. The second she did her charanari deactivated. I, of course, caught her.
"Right after that I opened up to you and shared to you my worry about Rei," she said.
"I remember because I thought you were confessing to me," I said.
"Rei was way off," Rhythm said.
"It was on that bench," I said. Her and I didn't have to speak. We both sat down on the bench and remembered that time.
Was she going to tell me now?
"Alright Rima," I said.
"Nagi, what I was going to tell you earlier," she began.
"Yeah?"
"Well, it's that I'm worried," she said.
"There's no need to be worried," I said.
"Yes there is," she said.
"Explain then," I said.
"Put me down. I wanna sit down to tell you," she said. I set her down and we sat down on a bench. She wouldn't look at me. My heart was beating faster. Was I nervous? Why should I be? What was I going to say when she said it?
"Nagi."
"Yes?" I said snapping back from my thoughts.
"I am worried about Rei," she said.
"Rei?" I asked confused.
"I know where we go next," I said. "Where?" she asked. "You'll see," I said.
Rima: Where are we going?
Nagi: You'll find out in the next chapter
Kusukusu: If there is a memory you loved from any of the chapters from this story then let Daydreamer know and she'll add it in the next chapter
