Me: Yay! I got so many reviews!
Ikuto: How many of them said 'this story sucks you should totally delete it'?
Me: But there's amuto in every friggin' chapter!
Amu: …
Rima: I don't like this story
Me: Fine then I'll pair Nagihiko up with Amu
Ikuto and Rima: ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!
Me: I wouldn't really do that you know…
Kukai: Hana-chan doesn't own Shugo Chara! Cuz if she did, the whole plot would be totally different and Tadase would've been pushed off a cliff by someone after being bitten by a squirrel with rabies!
Ikuto: I wanna push him off the cliff!!

RECAP (I'm only doing recaps so I can keep track of who I've used in this story):
Kukai! We need your help!" Amu cried. "How is Nagihiko going to win Rima's heart?"
Kukai's face was priceless.
END RECAP
"But I kinda suck at this stuff guys," Kukai said hastily, trying to get out of his predicament.
"Please Souma-kun?" I pretty much begged.
"How can you say no to that face?" Amu demanded furiously. Kukai scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Well…I challenged Utau to a ramen eating contest!" Kukai suggested (A/N In reference to episode 75)
"I can't see Rima-chan agreeing to that," I said shaking my head. Kukai frowned and looked thoughtful for a change. Suddenly his eyes brightened with an idea that scared me slightly.
"How about you play a good game of volley ball with her?" he suggested enthusiastically. "When you let her win she'll totally fall for you!"
I struggled to figure out the logic in this, but Amu seemed to get it because she jumped up, put her first in the air and let out a battle cry.
"LET'S DO IT!" she yelled and Kukai and I both covered our ears.
"You're being awful loud this morning," I mumbled.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Amu yelled in my ear. I winced.
"Nothing," I said quickly. I turned my attention to the middle schooler in front of me. "You're telling me that if I let Rima win a game of volley ball I can confess my love to her?"
"Uh, something like that," Kukai said and I sighed. This definitely was not going to work.
"Are you sure that—"
"We're in," Amu-chan said with that creepy little wink of hers. It's that creepy thing you can't say no to for fear of her killing you.
"What are you in for Amu-chan?" asked Rima from behind us and we all jumped.
"Uh…h-h-hey there R-Rima!" Amu stuttered. Rima just stared. No suspicion or anything. Just staring like she knew something….
"Would you like to play a game of volley ball, Rima-chan?" I asked politely.
"…"
I winced at her silence.
"I should go," Kukai said quickly and left, leaving Amu and myself staring at the spot he'd once been. Traitor.
"I don't like working," Rima said calmly.
"I'll take you to the next comedy performance!" Amu said desperately. Way to blow your money, Amu, I thought dryly.
"Would he come to the performance with us?" Rima demanded, shoving a finger in my direction.
"Of course not!" Amu said quickly. Ouch. Amu was always hasty with her words.
"Fine then," Rima said. She turned to me. "I will destroy you."
I gulped. Rima looked scary for someone of her height.
As we made our way to the volley ball net I continued to mentally ask myself the same question: what on earth did I just get myself into?
"Are you going to play too, Amu-chan?" asked Rima in the sweet, quite, yet so completely terrifying voice of hers.
"No, no!" Amu said with a fake laugh that made me shudder. "I think I'm going to sit by that tree and watch while YOU and NAGIHIKO play TOGETHER."
I felt all the blood drain from my face at her words. Note to self: don't ever let Amu join in my plans….
"Ah, Amu-chan—" I began worriedly but Rima cut we off quickly.
"Whatever you say, Amu," Rima said and tossed me the ball that she conjured out of seemingly no where. I stared stupidly at the ball.
"What…" I started slowly then realized what was going on. "Oh! Take this Rima-chan!" I yelled and served the ball. In my defense, how was I supposed to know she was unnaturally slow? What happened, you may wonder. Well, I tossed the ball and successfully managed to get Rima in the face with it, knocking the small girl over with a small thud. I paled.
"Amu, help!" I shouted only to turn around and see she was busy screaming at Ikuto for nibbling on her ear.
"YOU STUPID PERVERTED CAT! STOP BITING MY EAR!" Amu screeched, her answer being a fit of hysterical laughter from the feline offender. I scowled. Just like her, too…. Despite Rima being out cold on the ground I found myself slightly amused by Amu's pointless tantrum.
"You know you like it, Amu," he teased her with his normal smirk still in place.
Again Amu was beginning to resemble a tomato with a mop of pink hair, something I noticed she seemed to do a lot when he was around.
"I do not!" she growled.
"Amu-chan!" I shouted. "Rima kind of—"
"The shrimp took a spill?" Ikuto chuckled when he saw the state Rima was in. I frowned.
"Rima isn't a shrimp!" I said defensively. Just vertically challenged… "And I hit her in the head with the volley ball."
At this, Ikuto cracked up and even Amu had to fight down a grin.
"Smooth," Ikuto chuckled. "I don't think hitting a girl with a ball is the best way to win her affection."
"Neither is acting like a pervert," I pointed out. The blue haired cat shut up.
"What's going on?" Rima asked, her speech slightly slurred.
"Rima-chan! You're alive!" I shouted happily. I looked at her again. Not only did she now have hives, she also sported a large bump on her head along with the bright red spot where the ball actually made contact.
She glared at me and Amu.
"Good bye, Amu," Rima said, and I had the suspicion she intentionally didn't mention my name.
I sighed in defeat for the second time as she walked away without another word.
"I give up," I said again.
"I knew you were bad at this," Ikuto said to Amu, sounding bored.
"Don't give up!" Amu cheered and turned her gaze to Ikuto. "And you shut up!"
THE NEXT DAY
Rima was still ignoring me and whenever she spoke to someone near me, she pretended I didn't exist.
"Hey, Amu-chi!" Yaya shouted as she approached. And no she did not say "Hello Nagihiko!" or any sort of thing to aknowledge my existance.
"Why is everyone ignoring me?" I wondered aloud.
"Yaya, we need you help," Amu said quickly.
"Yaya will help!" Yaya squealed.
"We need some advice on how to win over Rima," Amu said promptly.
Yaya stared blankly.
"Yaya didn't know Amu was into girls…" she said slowly. (A/N although Tadase is close enough- no offense Tadase likers…but Amuto will still prevail)
"NOT ME!" Amu shouted.
"Then why—"
"Nagihiko likes Rima and we need to make the best situation for him to tell her," Amu explained.
So much for my attraction to Rima being a secret. I expected Yaya to turn away, but her reaction was not what I expected, nor what I wanted it to be.
"Yaya has the best idea!" she declared her eyes glowing dangerously.
RIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKO
Me: I'll give you all three guesses what Yaya is going to say and the first two don't count!
Ikuto: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Yaya: Yaya knows!
Me: I know but you can't tell anyone!
Yaya: OK…Yaya is going to say—
Me: -grabs Yaya- NO!
Ikuto: Remember to review :3
