Me: Yo.

Tadase: What is wrong with you? First you update so fast that my mind gets lost, and I just about to get used to it, now you don't update for a while!

Me: *hugs Tadase* I'm sorry…

Tadase: *looks around* where's Ikuto?

Me: Over there.

Amu: He fainted.

Yoru: Again. ~nya

Me:*puts a gong by Ikuto's ear*

Tadase:*bangs the gong really hard*

Ikuto: Arrrrrrrrgggggggg! *covering his ears* Can't you respect it when someone faints and wake them up the proper way?

Me & Tadase: *laughes*

Iru: acewritter3000 does not own shugo chara. She only owns this story. Hehehehehehehe

Eru: Roll Tape!

Ikuto: Hey! Don't start the story yet! I haven't got these guys back for what they did! Readers! Help!

Tadase's P.O.V

I was surprised. Amu had dragged me across town on fire. Something was up with her and Ikuto, but I couldn't tell what it was. She stopped at Glen's Antique Store, the antique store with a crazy old woman that shouts at kids if they touch anything.

"Is there something wrong?' I asked.

"N-nani? Oh, um, no, there is nothing I can think of that could be wrong, yea." She stammered.

The way she was talking so fast I could tell there was something wrong. But that was her character, and I went along with it.

"Ok, but if there ever is, you can tell me. I'm always here." I replied calmly.

Suddenly, Amu got a phone call. I just stood by, waiting for her to be done.

"Tadase-koi?" she asked. I turned around. "My mom said, um, I have to get back for uh, some preparations, yes, that's it. Preparations."

She was still stammering. But she was not telling me what was bothering her. Maybe it was personal.

"Preparations for who?" I asked anyway.

"F-for m-my, uh, grandpa! Yes, yes, it's my grandpa's 81st birthday! I'll see you later." She answered.

"Wait," I said, pulling her jacket. "Could I help?' I offered.

"W-w-we're almost done anyway. I just um, need to try on a, uh, new dress for the party! Thanks for your offer anyway!" she said with a big smile and dashed off.

"ok."'

Amu's P.O.V

How could I lie to him like that? I love him! I thought. I was running so fast it seemed like I no longer had any control over myself. I stopped at my house. Mom opened the door as soon as I got there.

"ah, there you are, Amu," my mom greeted. "you need to try on your wedding dress,"

Immediately I began to panic. Ikuto was mad at me and Tadase was suspicious. What was I going to do?

The phone rang. My mom left me and dashed to it.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hi!"

"Yes?"

"Really?"

"uh, huh."

"That's too bad! I hope he feels better soon,"

"Bye." My mom hung up the phone.

I flinched at the sentence right before she hung up. Was Tadase sick? He had seemed fine this morning.

My mom, who noticed my worried look, told me, "Ikuto is not feeling well today."

"Is he sick?"

"No. Just that something's got him down and feeling bad. He won't talk to Utau, he won't talk to his mom, and he won't talk to anybody."

That made me feel sick, thinking about meeting him in the park this morning.

"Let's hope he'll feel better soon," mom replied.

I just went to my room. I shoved my face into the pillow, worrying what to do.

"Marriage problems?" asked Dia.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"You have been acting very strangely lately," Dia said.

I groaned, thinking about everything that had happened today.

"Why don't I show you something, and maybe It'll help you make your decision," Dia suggested.

"What?"

"you'll see,"

Me: How was that?

Tadase: Awww, you left a cliffy! Now I'll never know what happens!

Me: Patience, already!

Amu: Where's Ikuto?

Daichi: He fainted.

Me: *giving an interesting look* he was like this for the whole chapter?

Musashi: Correct.

*everyone stares*

Dia: Be sure to R&R!
