Never fit the crowd. Nothing gets me down. Never scared to dream.
If I hear something can't be done. I'm gonna prove them wrong.
Make everybody believe
If I had the chance I would change it all.
That's what I'm ready to see.
~If I Had It My Way - Emma Roberts
"I have just the thing!" the girls heard Yaya squeal in Amu's bathroom, that was across the hall from her room, where the other three girls waited patiently for Yaya and Amu to emerge from the bathroom, "Come on! You know you want to!"
"Don't I get a say in this?!" they heard Amu complain. Nadeshiko, or Nagihiko, was starting to get nervous about the situation.
"Maybe we should make sure they're alright." Nadeshiko suggested to Utau and Rima who both looked boredly around the room.
"I'm sure they're fine." Utau answered, not that it really assured Nagihiko, he knew that she didn't really care about what happened to Amu.
"Yeah." Rima agreed unconcerned about Nadeshiko's apparent worry, as she rummaged through Amu's desk drawer.
"Uh..." Nadeshiko asked with a sweat drop, "What are you doing?"
"Snooping." Rima answered pulling out a manga that was in the drawer and flipping through the pages. Nadeshiko stared at her wondering how she could always be so blunt about everything. When Nadeshiko looked away from Rima, "she" only noticed Utau looking through the drawer in Amu's nightstand by her bed. What is with these girls?
-

"What's with these girls?" Kukai asked having read Nagihiko's mind (not knowingly of course).
"Who knows." Ikuto answered, not really interested in what those girls were doing.
"Hey Kairi," Tadase asked, having had the thought on his mind for a while, "What do you think Yaya's doing?"
"I'm not sure," Kairi answered truthfully. He could never tell what was going on in Yaya's mind, "I don't think she's a threat though, so there's really nothing to worry about." Kairi assured them, not that they were really worried about Amu at the moment. Yaya looked harmless enough.
"Ehh!" Kukai complained with a groan, dropping his head against his chair, "I'm starving."
"I don't see how, you ate my taiyaki" Tadase grumbled under his breath, still sore. He hated how Ikuto and Kukai took everything from him.
"Ah, would you get over it already! I said I was sorry." Kukai told him, hating how Tadase could hold a grudge, "Go get food." he told Ikuto.
"Get it yourself." Ikuto responded tiredly, without even bothering to look at him.
"I would..., but," Kukai started embarrassed to give him the honest answer, "Whenever I try to go into your house alone, I always end up getting lost."
"Really," Ikuto asked staring at Kukai now, just thinking about how unbelievable that should be. "Fine." Ikuto answered getting up. It wasn't like anything exciting was going on anyway.
"And drinks, while you're up." Tadase threw in
"What do I look like to you?" Ikuto asked not liking all these requests.
"The host." Kairi answered earning an arched eyebrow from Ikuto. It was amazing how he was suddenly starting to act more comfortable around everyone, even enough to add in a few comments. Instead of making a comeback, he just left without saying a word.
"Girls don't do very much at these things, do they?" Kukai asked once Ikuto had left the room, just out of boredom.
"They haven't even been there that long," Tadase answered, but not really confident in answering what they might do. He didn't have a clue.
Kukai was about to ask another question when something caught their eyes on the screen.

"This looks interesting," Rima muttered getting Nadeshiko's attention. She held a normal looking composition notebook with "Property of Amu" written in sharpie on the front. Nadeshiko didn't she how that was interesting. It probably just had her homework in it, which may be why she thought it was interesting anyway.
She was about to open the book and skim the pages, when she heard the door open a bit and Yaya enter with a bright smile on her face. Rima swiftly hide the notebook behind her back before Yaya noticed it, "Hey ya!" Yaya greeted them with a giddy attitude.
"Hey." Nadeshiko responded with a bright smile "herself", seeing as Utau and Rima weren't going to respond, being too preoccupied with looking innocent from their recent snooping.
"You guys ready?" Yaya asked excitedly. The girls just nodded, none of them sure what they were suppose to be ready for, "Then presenting, Amu Hinamori," she introduced her, just like a cheerleader, and flinging the door open, "Duh Da!"
...Da duh...was an understatement, Nadeshiko's eyes growing wide with shock. Sure it was Amu, but she looked, so...different. You wouldn't think she would, Yaya just taking the liberty to put her into a different outfit, but...she sure did. Yaya had given her a fitting, sleeveless black shirt with red lace around the top elastic. A white t-shirt underneath that had top part of the shirt cut off with scissors, leaving only a piece of the sleeves that went down her arm, but revealing her shoulders. Then, Yaya had managed to get her to wear a red and black checkered skirt. The first shock Nagihiko had, was of course Amu wearing a skirt! He'd never seen her in a skirt before. Nothing but jeans, and kapries on one occasion, but a skirt, never. Now, seeing her in one, he couldn't understand why. The mini skirt showed her long, considering her height, and slender legs. Her shirt clung to her sides, revealing all her curves no one even knew she had. Nadeshiko, no way, this was Nagihiko looking, why trying hard to be a gentleman and not notice anything else about her body's appearance, but damn it was hard.
"Wow." Rima managed to comment, her own eyes wide with surprise. Was this really her friend who wore a black hoodie two sizes too large all the time to school? Her hiding the way she looked only proved to Rima how much Amu hated getting attention; she'd defiantly get attention if she wore that to school. Even Utau was looking at her dumbfoundedly. She thought she was worried about Amu hanging around before, she had no idea.
"You look so cute!" Yaya complimented, again, so happy she had decided to put her in that. Yaya seemed to be the only one in the room that wasn't surprised. Of course she had only met Amu about an hour ago.
"Uh.." Amu started her already flushed pink face getting warmer, she hated everyone staring at her. "Can I take this off now? It's kind of embarrassing."
"Why?! It's looks good on you!" Yaya complained not understanding why Amu would be so embarrassed. That only made Amu blush more.
"Hmm.." Utau started looking Amu over, now that she was over the initial shock. She was thinking over what she was looking at. Amu, victim to her gaze, stood up straight and stiff. She was always nervous under Utau's looks, now she felt more vulnerable in this outfit. That being either the skirt or the unusual amount of skin showing. "Not bad..."
Amu was confused for a moment before Utau finished, "But, you're missing something." She told her grabbing her backpack she had taken up with her and walking towards Amu, "I don't do this often, so be grateful." she said before grabbing a hold of her wrist and dragging a confused Amu back into the bathroom.
-

The guys couldn't help staring, even after Amu had left. They just sat their gathered around the computer, their eyes still wide from shock.
"Here," Ikuto said coming back, "Soda and popcorn. Now don't ask me for...." he was starting to tell them to shut up about wanting anything else, until he noticed they weren't even listening. Ikuto glanced at the screen to see...nothing really going on. "Uh...you guys alright?"
When no one answered, he just shrugged and sat down with a soda. It wasn't until Ikuto was taking a drink did Kukai finally answer, "I think I just realized Amu's a girl."
Ikuto choked after hearing that answer, "Come again?" he asked everyone oblivious to his chocked out surprised response.
"It's just..." Kukai started moving his hands to match his sayings, "The shape...and the curves, and the..." Kukai answered, not sure how to put it all into words.
"Uh huh..." Ikuto managed to get out with a twitch. With every description Kukai gave Ikuto just gripped his soda can tighter and tighter, until the whole top had been blown off by pressure.
"She was wearing a skirt man!" Kukai blurted out having finally put the words together.
"Huh?" Ikuto asked the confusion all over his face, "Is that all?"
"Yeah..." Kukai answered with his own confusion on his face, "What'd you think I meant?"
"Oh,...nothing," Ikuto answered, knowing what he thought Kukai meant, but not willing to voice it.
"You know, there's an easier way to open that," Kukai pointed out Ikuto's soda laughing. Ikuto only stared at him for a moment before putting him in a headlock, choking him, "What'd I do?!" Kukai managed to asked, struggling to get out of Ikuto's grasp.
Kairi snapped out of his daze at the sound of Kukai's choking/screaming in distress, "Should we do something?" he asked Tadase who had come back to earth himself, but instead of looking worried, just started eating popcorn and watching the computer screen.
"Nah," he answered shrugging at his friends, "They try to kill each other on a daily basis. Haven't you been around long enough to know that?"
"I guess..." Kairi answered, still nervous about Ikuto strangling their drummer, "Still..."
"I'm sorry!" Kukai kept repeating, not sure what he was sorry about, but was willing to say so to get Ikuto to stop choking him.
"Oh just let him go Ikuto!" Tadase told him, not sure why he was chocking Kukai to begin with.
Ikuto just shrugged, and threw Kukai down to the ground. "Gently." Kukai added staying on the ground from the pain.
"So, what was with all your zombie expressions anyway?" Ikuto asked settling back into his seat. Deciding to ask now that they were all back to normal.
"Were we?" Tadase asked, his face red with embarrassment.
"Yaya just put Amu into clothes we aren't used to seeing her in," Kairi explained avoiding the details of how she looked in said clothes, "We were just a little shocked, that's all."
"Uh huh," Ikuto answered, not buying that innocent explanation with all of them drooling at the screen earlier, "So where is she know?" Ikuto asked noticing she was missing.
"Oh," Tadase noticed the same thing, "She went into the bathroom with Utau..."
All their head jolted upward suddenly, once Tadase had said it. They all exchanged glances with one another. "Ahhhh!" Kukai shot up from the ground in a panic, "What're we going to do?! What're we going to do?!" Kukai asked looking back in front between Tadase and Ikuto.
"This isn't good." Tadase began to panic himself.
"There's a reason we're watching the monitor you morons." Ikuto told them, annoyed that they hadn't told him about what happened sooner.
"Yeah," Kukai asked him anger in his voice, "Well, you weren't even in here!"
"That's because, I was getting your food!" Ikuto answered back with the same tone in his voice as Kukai's.
"When did you start listening to what I tell you?!" Kukai countered pointing at him accusingly. Ikuto felt like strangling him again.
"He's got a point." Tadase added saving Kukai from a beating, with Ikuto turning to him with a glare.
"Wonder when Nagihiko's going to realize this." Kairi wondered, seeing nothing in his movements that suggested panic.
"He's useless!" Kukai commented, "There's no point in him being their if he's not helping!"
"Maybe nothing's wrong." Tadase suggested with a small bit of hope in his voice. That was quick vanished after the questioning looks from everyone.
"I read a murder mystery once about a girl that went to the bathroom in the middle of a party and was murdered while she was applying lip balm." Kairi said recalling the book, "No one even knew she was murdered until after the party, with no proof as to who committed the crime."
"Uh, Kairi." Ikuto stopped his story summary before he say anything more negative, "Stop helping."
"I say we give them five minutes, then we go kick down the door." Kukai suggested, unfazed by Kairi's story.
"What? Five minutes?" Tadase asked in disbelief, "Girls take longer than five minutes in the bathroom."
"Fine." Kukai answered annoyed with his logic, "Then ten minutes. Nothing more!" Kukai made his final word be known by focusing on the screen waiting for the ten minutes to be up.

"You carry outfits too big for you around with you all the time?" Rima asked, curious as to have convenient it was for her to have an outfit that was the perfect size for Amu.
"Don't be silly," Yaya assured her with a light giggle, "I'm in charge of making the costumes for the school play. I brought that outfit home to work on it."
"What character is that outfit for?" Nagihiko asked turning the girlish charm back on.
"The Queen of Hearts." Yaya answered excitedly. Nadeshiko and Rima both stared blankly at her, "I haven't finished yet!" Yaya whined like a small child at their looks.
"Oh, I didn't say anything." Nadeshiko assured her, even though he really thought outfit was a stretch for the Queen of Hearts.
"Now, lets see..." Rima said bringing the notebook back to her attention bringing to flip through the pages.
"I don't think you should be looking at her homework," Nadeshiko commented with Rima just ignoring "her".
"It's not her homework," Rima answered him after scanning a few of the pages, "I think it's her song book."
"Song book?" Nadeshiko asked not sure what that was suppose to mean.
"Oooh! Let me see!" Yaya requested trying to read over Rima's shoulder. Nadeshiko sweat dropped. Were all girls the same that way? Yaya had managed to get Rima to put the book on the ground and the two girls sit between the notebook, reading the pages together.
"Amu-chan's really good!" Yaya said humming to herself.
"They're not bad." Rima nodded without making any expression.
"What are you talking about?" Nadeshiko asked looking at the girls as if they were crazy.
"I said it was her song book," Rima told her with an expression of annoyance, "What did you think was in it?" Then it dawned on Nadeshiko that the songs in the book were written by Amu.
"Can I see?" Nadeshiko asked with her usual charming smile.
"Oh, now you're curious?" Rima asked suspiciously pushing the notebook towards Yaya that took it in her hands.
"What's this about?" Yaya asked trying to show Rima, but she wasn't bothering a glance in her direction, too busy pondering her own suspicions. Yaya pouted, she hated being ignored. She decided to show her another way, taking a deep breath and started the song:
-
I've been told I'm weird
I've been told I'm scary
That I come on strong
And a bit intimidating
-
Rima and Nadeshiko both stared at her, "So..." Yaya asked gaining back her smile, "What's it mean?"
"Uh.." Rima began, hoping that Yaya didn't want to sing anymore, "She was a bit standoffish when she transferred over, so I guess that's what she's referring too."
Rima guessed quickly before Yaya could sing anymore.
"Oh..." Yaya nodded understanding before looking back down at the page, "Then where's the rest of it?"
Rima scanned the page, and the next few pages. "I don't think any of these are finished." Rima commented, observing how there were just a few stanzas on each page.
"How's this one go?" Yaya asked, already flipping to the next one. Before Yaya could start singing, Rima clapped a hand over her mouth. Nadeshiko sighed in relief.
"Why don't I just say it?" Rima suggested taking the book.
"Aww! But I want to know the rhythm!" Yaya complained with a pout.
"Imagine it then." Rima told her with an edge of bitterness. There was no way she was going to sing, so she just spoke the stanza with no enthusiasm or emotion.
-
I just want to be real
I just want to be loud!
I want to be the one outside the crowd!
I just want to have some fun
And sing my song
I don't care what you think
I just want to be me.
-
"There." Rima answered throwing the book back in the middle of the circle the girls had formed on the ground.
"Aww! You did it all wrong!" Yaya complained, upset that Rima couldn't get into the spirit of the music.
"Too bad. Cause that's all you're getting." Rima stated beginning to flip through the book again. Yaya just pouted, crossed her arms and gave a 'hmph' sound in protest to Rima's attitude.
"Oww!" they heard someone scream from the bathroom, "That hurt!" it was obviously Amu.
"Suck it up cupcake!" Utau replied, not sounding apologetic for whatever she did.
"I wonder what she's doing?" Yaya asked suddenly recovering from her last state.
"Some form of torture more than likely." Rima answered not looking concerned for her friend in the least. That's when Nadeshiko's head jolted upward in realization.
Oh shit, he thought to himself beginning to panic. The guys probably figured it out by now. He probably looked like an idiot at the moment, well, more so than he did by just wearing a skirt. To top it all off, if Amu got hurt because he wasn't paying attention, he was sure Ikuto was going to kill him. They didn't necessarily need two guitar players. "Umm, should we check on them?"
"I'm sure they're fine." Rima answered not taking the bait Nagihiko had tried to use to get to Amu. Now he was panicking.
"What about this one?!" Yaya asked reading another chorus she was curious about.
"I don't know," Rima told her before she even looked at it, "I don't care, and if you try to sing it, I'll kill you." Nagihiko realized then how persuasive Rima could be. Making Yaya back away in fear.
"Who are you killing?" Utau asked walking into the room...without Amu. Nagihiko swore he was going to have a heart attack.
"W-where's Amu?" Nagihiko managed to ask in his Nadeshiko voice without trembling.
"She's coming, she's just slow." Utau answered taking a seat around the circle, "What are you looking at?"
"Oh Utau-chan!" Yaya said her name excitedly. Utau gave her a questioning look at her use of chan like they were friends or something. "Can you sing this?!"
"Why?" Utau asked looking at the scribble on the page.
"Because I want to know how it goes, and Rima-chan won't help!" Yaya explained with a whine in her voice.
"Then sing it yourself." Utau answered, not really in the mood to reveal her voice to these girls.
"Please don't make her." Rima said clapping a hand over Yaya's mouth she could begin an attempt, "Trust me, it will benefit us all."
Utau rolled her eyes before looking down at the words again, "Fine." she said taking in a deep breath.
-
Take a try and end up falling
Better than living without knowing.
Hit the ground and just start running
There's not time for you to stall.
Just go in your direction
Don't be scared about perfection.
Then you will see within time
You can be who you want to be.
-
"There." Utau said handing the notebook back to Yaya who was looking at her with admiration. "What?" she asked annoyed by her look.
"You have a beautiful voice Utau." a voice complimented entering the room. Nagihiko's eye's got wide again. Now, this was just too weird. Utau had taken down Amu's hair and brushed it out to be expertly styled straight. She had used her Xclip as a barrette to keep the tendrils out of her face. The biggest surprise, was what was on her face. Utau had forced make-up on her. A light pink shade of eye shadow matched her hair, the black mascara emphasized her golden eyes, and the light pink gloss of her lips made her smile shine brighter.
"Oooh Amu-chan!" Yaya exclaimed bright and excited, "You look so cute!" Yaya complimented with nods from everyone, even the zombie shocked Nagihiko. The comment made Amu blush a shade darker than before.
"M-my face feels heavy." Amu commented on the loaded amount of makeup Utau had applied, that only seemed like a lot to her.
"Don't insult my work." Utau snapped at Amu making her straighten up.
"I-I'm sorry." she apologized to Utau not wanting to get on her bad side, anymore than she already was anyway. Utau just nodded and looked at Nadeshiko who was clearing her throat lightly to get her attention.
"If you don't mind me asking," Nadeshiko started smiling innocently, "What possessed you to do that?"
"What do you mean?" Utau asked seeing there was something specific she was asking.
"I thought you didn't care for Amu that much." Nadeshiko asked bluntly Rima and Yaya looking confused and Amu slumping her shoulders in defeat.
"I don't." Utau admitted to Nadeshiko then turned to Amu, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't do this for your benefit."
"Then who'd you do it for?" Rima asked never hearing that she didn't like Amu, now she was going to have to keep close eye on her and Nadeshiko.
"I did it for Ikuto." Utau stated crossing her arms as if she'd proven her point. She didn't with all the girls looking confused with that statement.
"How's that benefit Ikuto?" Yaya finally asked after the group had looked at one another, everyone only shrugging in response.
"Oh, I can of how." Nadeshiko commented slyly, unable to resist the temptation, he was sure Ikuto was listening, which only made the comment that much sweeter. Yaya giggled in response and Rima actually gave a smile commending her little joke. Amu was oblivious to the meaning of that, and Utau was not amused.
"Yeah right," Utau responded bitterly more than unrealistically, "You looked horrible before." Amu showed 'What?!' kind of expression that Utau ignored, "There was no way she could get anyone to come listen to the band. Making her look a little better helps the band, thus helps Ikuto." She gave one last glare towards Amu, "I could care less what you think of it."
"T-Thank you so much." Amu said sarcastically to Utau's kind heart, "Oh yeah, what were you singing earlier?" Amu asked snapping back to reality.
"Just something from a notebook," Utau answered with a shrug. Amu looked confused for a moment then her eyes got wide at the notebook in Yaya's hands. Yaya quickly threw the book to Nadeshiko, who in turn tossed it to Rima. With no one left to pass the book to, she just hid it behind her back.
"Rima!" Amu complained at Rima who was whistling innocently with the notebook still behind her back.
"We were just looking." Yaya tried to defend themselves.
"That's like my diary! You can't look through it without permission!" Amu complained, her face becoming a darker shade of red from embarrassment.
"You never tell me anything like that Amu," Rima said suddenly sounding heartbroken, "I thought I was your friend." Rima said tears starting to fall down her cheeks.
"Rima, uh, I," Amu started to answer not meaning to make her friend cry.
"Oh please," Nadeshiko said rolling her eyes at the scene, "Those are obviously fake."
"How could you tell?" Rima asked suddenly getting back to normal with her usual suspicions.
"I just know about acting myself," Nadeshiko, as Nagihiko, answered truthfully.
"I want to hear how this goes!" Yaya said to Amu who was looking confused at the scene between Rima and Nadeshiko. There seemed to be lightening sparking between their eyes.
"Huh?!" Amu asked suddenly realizing what Yaya had asked, "What did I just say?!" Amu asked offended that no one had been paying attention.
"But I'm asking permission! It looks recent so I thought it was apart of the song you were writing for the band." Yaya explained looking innocent and hopeful.
Amu glanced at the stanza Yaya was talking about and blushed, "I-It's n-not recent." Amu said closing the notebook.
"It's towards the end though!" Yaya defended her reasoning, opening the notebook back up to show her, "Plus I want to hear you sing!"
"Yeah Amu," Rima said looking away from Nadeshiko for a moment, "I've never heard you sing either."
"Rima!" Amu protested, she was suppose to be on her side.
"Plus, you really don't want to hear Yaya try to sing it." Rima explained, with Amu sweat dropping.
"Yeah," Utau said making Amu straighten up at the sound of her voice, "I want hear you sing too. I want to know what makes you so special."
"I'm special?" Amu asked trying to look innocent, or really looking it, so she didn't have to, but all eyes were on her, waiting patiently to hear her. Amu sighed in defeat and took the notebook. Amu began to sing, embarrassed by her own words.
-
I know that happy endings don't exist
And there is no prince charming
But you swept me away with your deep kiss
And you're my shining knight
I never want an after
To end this scene
Where you come and take me away
Flipping through these pages
To see them blank
But you can do the filling
I don't believe in this,
Not in fairy tales.
-
"So pretty," Yaya complimented a flushed red Amu, "Your voice is sweet."
"So you're decent huh?" Rima asked quoting what she said about her own singing on the first day she met Amu. That comment only making Amu blush harder.
"Not...bad," Utau commented hating the fact that her voice was so much better than her own, but focusing more on the song itself, "So that's recent?" she asked getting into her interrogation mode.
"N-no," Amu answered, nervous about Utau questioning glares.
"Amu's got a boyfriend," Yaya sang playfully repeatedly.
"I do not!" Amu complained to Yaya who playfully put her hands in front of her face for a defense.
"So, is that your type of guy?" Rima asked randomly all the girls looking at her questioningly, "The knight in shining armor, is that the type of guy you're into?"
"My type of guy?" Amu asked not sure how to answer, "I wonder. I never really thought about it before."
"Oh come on, you can tell us," Yaya pressed on poking Amu in the shoulder, "We'll tell you ours." Yaya offered without the concent of the other girls.
"O-Ok," Amu said still not knowing her type, "What's your type Yaya?"
"I've always been a sucker for cute guys." Yaya answered with a squeal.
"And you're dating Kairi why?" Rima asked, not knowing Kairi personally, but hearing enough about him from Amu that cute wasn't the first word to come to mind when thinking about him. Nagihiko and Amu were wondering the same thing. Utau was unaware that they were even going out, but now that she knew, she couldn't believe it.
"Well, isn't he adorable?!" Yaya answered as if it were obvious. Everyone just sweat dropped, it was kind of strange thinking of Kairi as adorable too. "What about you Rima-chan?!" Yaya asked keeping the cycle moving.
Rima shrugged thinking, "I guess I want a guy that had a good sense of humor." This took Nagihiko by surprise, he was expecting more of the kind of guy that would do whatever she said or something along those lines.
"Oh, I know," Yaya said excitedly, "Like a bala-balance!" Yaya said imitating the joke. Amu smiled knowing Rima did like that kind of joke. Only her smile faded once she saw Rima expression.
"YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!" she yelled at Yaya, who hid behind Amu frightened, "Respect comedy! What do you think it's all fun and games?! Comedy is a serious art and you shouldn't treat it like it's nothing!" Everyone just stared at her in surprise. No one knew she felt this strongly about comedy, not even Amu. The silence was quickly broken when Nadeshiko started muffling her laughter. "What's so funny?!" Rima asked her yes piercing through Nadeshiko in anger.
"Y-You," Nadeshiko got out unable to hold her laughter in any longer, "T-That was j-just s-so unexpected," she explained still laughing.
Before Rima could say anything in response Yaya quickly jumped in, 'What's your type of guy Nadeshiko?!" Nadeshiko quickly stopped laughing and froze. Why of why did that have to be asked?! It didn't make a difference what he said, it was going to be used against him.
"Uh..." Nadeshiko stated trying to stall for time to think, but with Rima's eyes on her, there was no time, "I guess I'm into the serious type of guy." He felt so much shame from having to answer that. "How about Utau?" he asked trying to get the attention off him.
"Me?" she asked not sure what to say, or why she should even answer, but reluctantly she did, "I suppose I'm into the strong and masculine type."
"She likes a manly man." Yaya said teasingly with a giggle, "Alright, so spill Amu." she commanded directing her attention to Amu, who was still unprepared to answer.
"Umm..." Amu answered trying to think, "I guess I like cute guys." she answered not sure how to put it. She only got Yaya laughing as a response, "What?" she asked not sure what she had said.
"Sorry," Yaya apologized holding down her laughter, "I just don't see you with a cute guy."
"Huh?!" Amu asked thinking Yaya meant a cute guy in general. What did she think she would only work with an ugly guy or something.
"I mean, you got a cool look going for you," Yaya reasoned understanding what Amu had thought, "I'd just see you more with a cool kind of guy, you know?"
Amu just stared blankly, not really knowing what she meant. "Amu can be into cute guys if she wants," Rima defended her, Amu appresiated, "Maybe she just likes being in charge of a relationship," Rima reasoned, Amu not appresiating that.
"Yeah," Utau said, amused with her type of guy, so not like Ikuto, "Amu likes being on top." Nadeshiko had to hold in a laugh from that burn. Rima didn't look as amused that Utau had made that comment on her friend, and Yaya just shook her head trying not to think about it too hard.
"On top of what?" Amu asked oblivious to what that meant. Everyone's eyes just got wide as they looked at one another for help.
"Uhh..." Utau started thrown off by Amu's blank look, "I-I'm so not explaining this." she answered looking away. Amu looked confused at her then when she met someone else's gaze, they just looked away unable to answer.
-

"That was pretty good." Kukai commented laughing at Amu. How could she not know what that meant? Was she really that naive?
"She's pretty innocent," Kairi noted, not expecting her to be that way.
"You would know wouldn't you," Kukai said grabbing his cheek, "Because you're so adorable." Kairi groaned at this, why did Yaya have to say that?
"We're just kidding," Tadase assured him, knowing what it was like to be victim to Kukai's teasing, "Right Kukai?"
"Yeah, yeah," Kukai said giving him a false assurance, "So, stop complaining to us! You see what we mean?! She's looks really weird, and so- Uh Ikuto?" he quickly changed over to talk to Ikuto but he was still zombie like in front of the computer. "Hello." Kukai tried to get his attention by waving his hand in front of his face.
"We were like that?" Tadase asked Kairi, who only nodded shamefully.
"Dude! Wake up!" Kukai yelled into his ear, only suddenly hit in the head to the ground. "Ow! What was that for?!" he demanded, but Ikuto only turned away, moving his chair and everything, "Sheesh!" Kukai commented not sure what was with him. Lucky for Ikuto he hadn't noticed the light color on his cheeks, the closest thing to a blush Ikuto could get.
