Chapter Six: The Date That Was Almost Left Untainted

Sunday came quickly and that morning Amu was desperately looking through her closet for a suitable outfit for her date.

"Amu-chan, what about this?" Miki asked holding out a drawing of a black and white striped dress.

Amu looked it over and instantly liked it. "That's great Miki!" she exclaimed. Miki grinned and used her paintbrush to bring it to life.

Amu admired her reflection in the mirror for a moment before pulling her hair back into two white x-clips. The doorbell rang just then. Amu looked excitedly at Miki, Ran, Su, and Dia. "Let's go!"

Amu took the stairs two at a time, sure that by then her sister, Ami, would have caused Tadase to character change at least once. As soon as she got to the door, she knew she'd been right. For Tadase stood there laughing his signature hearty "King" laugh.

She immediately went over to him and ignored her father's pouting as she said, "Tadase-kun! Ready to go?"

Tadase snapped out of his ranting self and blushed. "Sure. You look great today, Amu," he complimented.

Amu blushed and said, "Thanks." She then pulled him back outside and called to her parents, "Bye mama! Bye papa! I'll be back later!"

Tadase smiled. "I was thinking we could talk a walk through the park or something."

Amu blushed lightly and managed to say, "O-okay."

Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia giggled at the look on Amu's face. "Lovey-dovey!"

Kiseki rolled his eyes.

Tadase grabbed Amu's hand and led her to the park. She had a faint blush on her face the whole time. The two walked around for a little bit and got some ice cream.

Meanwhile, Lulu was searching for a lost soul. "There has to be someone! I will find the Embryo!" she ranted to her chara.

"Lulu! Look over there!" her chara cried.

Lulu looked over to where her chara was pointing. She saw a group of boys gathered one smaller boy. "So you're going to be king when you grow up, huh? Some king you are! You can't even make us listen to what you have to say! You can't even speak up loud enough for us to hear you!" one of the bigger boys taunted. The rest of them laughed. The smallest boy turned and ran, tears streaming down his face.

Lulu felt bad for the boy. But I have a job to do, she thought as she ran after the boy.

Amu was just finishing off her ice cream while Tadase told her about his grandmother, when Miki, Ran, Su, Dia, and Kiseki fell silent.

"Amu! I sense a ? egg!" Miki exclaimed.

"There's something unsettling about this egg," Kiseki murmured.

The rest of the charas nodded.

Amu looked to Tadase and he got up, holding out his hand for Amu to grab.

"Let's go!" Amu said as she dropped the ice cream and took Tadase's hand.

They ran, following their charas. They soon found themselves at an empty playground. There was a little boy standing in front of a jungle gym with a mystery egg behind him. It expanded and then ate the boy. The boy transformed into "Royal Dream". He had a scepter much like Tadase's but with a purple colored outfit and a huge crown.

Amu looked over at Miki and she nodded. "My own heart, unlock!" she cried as her and Miki transformed into Amulet Spade.

At the same time, Tadase was transforming with Kiseki into Platinum Royal.

The boy noticed the two and cried out, "Obey!"

Both Amu and Tadase managed to dodge but just barely. This seemed to upset the boy.

The boy glared. "No! You must OBEY me!" he shouted as he attacked them again. This time Tadase got hit. He was paralyzed where he stood.

Amu glared. "Why are you doing this?" she questioned. The boy just attacked her. Before she could dodge the rest of the guardians appeared. Rima knocked the boy's attack away with her Juggling Party.

"Amu-chii! We're here to help," Yaya pronounced.

"Thanks, that was close," Amu responded.

The boy sent attacks towards Yaya. She used her army of rubber ducks to ward then off however. The boy sent more attacks to her but this time she couldn't dodge they were sent so fast.

Amu switched to Amulet Heart before flying to the boy. "Why are you doing this?" she asked again.

The boy came just inches from her face before sending an attack at her.
