Hey! Yep, I'm back! I'm known for fast updates ^^ (Even if this chappy has been ready for ages and the internet won't let me upload it..)
Anywho, heres chapter 3, its short but ah well, thanks for reviewing people!!
Please tell me what you think, coz I'm still not sure whether I'm going to end it after five or so chapters or turn it into a long one that isn't just based on Christmas (I'd have to change the title) and keep going with it :S
So yeah, let me know what you think! Should I continue and make it a long one or just leave it as a short-ish Xmas story? Thanks!! Xx

The Perfect Christmas
Chapter 3
As Ikuto and I lay side by side in a comfortable silence I heard my sister wake up.
We laughed quietly as we heard her scream, clap and giggle.
"It's Christmas!" she exclaimed happily. I heard her footsteps come closer to my bedroom door and expected her to start banging on it to wake me up, but to my utter horror, the door began to open…
I THOUGHT I LOCKED IT!!
My heart was pounding as I stared open mouthed at the door handle. Everything seemed to go in slow motion for a moment, the door handle turned and it slowly opened. Ami's bright excited face appeared in the doorway but then she stopped dead in her tracks, her lips parting as her eyes met with the dark haired boy beside me.
"Ami, shhh! shhh!!!" I hissed at the younger girl. Ikuto watched me in what seemed to be amusement which frustrated me, but he also seemed slightly concerned about me getting into trouble.
"Ami please please don't tell Mama and Papa! It's our little secret, yeah?" I said, crossing my fingers and awaiting Ami's reply. I decided to act fast so before she could do or say anything more I pulled her inside and shut my bedroom door, locking it. Ami looked confused and a little scared. I knelt down in front of her and placed my hands on her shoulders, looking her in the eyes as seriously as I could.
"Ami-chan, this is very important. Do not tell Mama or Papa okay?"
"Whhhy?" Ami said with a childish giggle. Ugh, why do all kids do that? Whatever you say to them, their answer ends up as 'whhhy?' and then you explain and they go 'oh. Whyyy?'.
I returned from my random thought-rant and took a deep breath.
"Because Ami-chan, this is my imaginary friend," I started, ignoring Ikuto who was now rolling around the bed laughing at me. I clenched my teeth. "Now Ami, you know how Mama and Papa can't see Shugo Chara's?"
Ami nodded and stared up at me with her big eyes.
"Well, they can't see Ikuto either, so don't tell them! It's a magical secret, kay?" I said, fairly proud of myself for coming up with what I thought was the perfect cover story.
"Ohh! Understood!" she said and stood with her hand held to her forehead as if she were saluting me. I sighed in relief and sat down on the edge of the bed, glaring at Ikuto who was trying not to laugh. I mouthed 'shutup' at him and turned back to Ami. She was now staring at Ikuto with a frightening grin… The way she looked at Ran, Miki and Su before she attacked them…
Ikuto looked at her and raised an eyebrow, becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
"Your name is Ikuto?" she asked excitedly. Ikuto slowly nodded, backing up slightly and sending me a worried look. Ami giggled and leapt onto the bed, squeezing Ikuto as she shouted about having a new friend. Ikuto narrowed his eyes at the annoying child clinging to his arm and pushed her away with ease. I laughed, tickled Ami, and picked her up. She giggled, at least today she wasn't acting up, yet.
"Now Ami-chan, you go get dressed so that you can go downstairs and open your presents!" I said.
Ami nodded and rushed out of the room to go and change. I sighed and slumped back down onto the bed after closing the door. This time, I made sure it was locked.
"Sorry about that" I said with an innocent smile. Ikuto grunted and shook his head, attempting to remove the hair from his eyes after Ami had messed it up, well, more than it was already. It then occurred to me that my hair must look ridiculous, but before I could take a look in my mirror, Ikuto grabbed me and pulled me into his lap. I blushed and rested my head on his shoulder. We were acting like a couple, but I wondered if we actually had a chance together…
I heard Ami mumbling and there was a knock at the door.
"One minute!" I called with narrowed eyes before whispering to Ikuto, "Little sisters are SO annoying!"
"Tell me about it…" he replied with a chuckle. I opened the door.
"Ami I already tol-…" I started to speak, but I was cut off when I looked up.
Instead of my younger sister standing in the doorway, my mother was.
Shit.
Haha I love the ending to this chapter! Amu you bad bad girl. Well tune in next time kiddies!! (Yeah… I had cola again…)
