Tsuki: Decided to put this up.

Butter: We were actually bored.

Tsuki: Yeah... But we're watching Another Cinderella Story. Gosh, I love Selena Gomez.

Butter: Yep. Anyway, please enjoy.

"Did you hear that? They say Amulet-sama is back." Students were murmuring about this the whole morning.

"But why did you think she left? Was it because she didn't qualify? Or was it because she was ugly?"

"Ew… If she was ugly, then I wouldn't want her as our princess. I would rather have Shizimu-san or Himitsu-san to be our princess. They're really beautiful."

Yep, rumors were bugging the transferees. Kisaki was ready to beat up anyone who asked if she was the princess. Amu rubbed her head in irritation.

"I see you guys are experiencing a harsh time." Johan sat side by side next to Kisaki.

It was lunch time, and they chose to eat outside, to avoid any further trouble. It turned out eating beneath the tree in the yard, was quite comforting.

"Don't talk about it. Himitsu is ready to blurt out anything to stop the questions." Kisaki pointed at Amu. "I'm surprised that you haven't cracked yet."

"Why are you surprised? It took you forever to crack me if I liked Ryuu or not. That took you six years, until Ran came along." Amu shivered at the thought. She couldn't believe Ran made her do that, it was in front of Ryuu too.

"Oh, yeah… I remember that." Kisaki nervously giggled. "Ryuu actually took it quite well. Right, Ryuu?"

Ryuu placed himself near Amu. "Yeah. I was obviously shock, but I had feelings for her. Too bad, it's over now."

"Why was it over?" Johan asked, while he bent over to get some food from their lunches.

"Well, Amu couldn't accept the fact that it was not her, who confessed. She felt like it Ran who confessed." Ryuu chuckled.

"Well, it did." Amu turned crimson.

Kisaki laughed along, but felt a lot better. It looked like Amu was to her usual self.

"Hey, what's up?" Kukai leaned over to see Utau's face. "Sorry, about before…" He ruffled his hair, as he sat next to her on the bench.

Utau closed her eyes. "It's okay. Just make sure you don't mention it again." She then assumed a comfortable position on the bench to rest.

"Roger that!" Kukai chuckled. He felt totally uncomfortable the week before since every time he got close to Utau, she would walk away from him.

Utau then decided to play a trick on him, as payback. She let herself drop on Kukai's chest and pretended to be asleep. She could feel him stiffened at her touch.

"Utau? Utau?" Kukai was getting scared. He was not sure whether to wake her up or let her sleep on him. "I better let her sleep on me, since I think I made her suffer for a couple of days…" On his smile was a sympathetic smile. "Sorry, Utau."

Utau felt her face becoming warm. "No way…" He actually said that to her? "Thanks, Kukai. If I didn't love my brother, I would've…" Utau was actually tired out from the news lately. Her nights were lately filled with tears.

"Utau, did you say something?" Kukai bend her head to get look of her face to see if she was awake. "I guess not. Might as well take a nap."

The day at school quickly ended. Everyone went home peacefully, except for the royals. Once they stepped outside the gates of the school, their parents whisked them away to their home.

"Okaa-sama, what are you doing?! You can't just whisk me away from school like that." Rima looked at her parents for answers.

"Rima, when did you start talking back to us? Don't ahead of yourself?" Her father scolded at her, for the first time in a long time.

Rima noticed greed and self-consciousness in her parents' eyes. "What's going on?"

"Rima, I want you to penetrate the school records to look for the princess. She should be around your age now." Her mother told her.

"What? I can't do that. Only the headmaster can do that." Rima retorted. She couldn't believe her mother was telling her to do this.

"I think I can bribe Shiroto-dono with money. She's old, and I think she'll find the money useful for her retirement." Her father was talking with her mother, like if they were plotting something. "That way it will be easier for us to get half of Celestia."

Rima immediately ran out of the living room. She passed her maids' greetings, shocking them. She finally ran to her bed, crying on it. "Why is Okaa-sama and Otou-sama so greedy all of a sudden? We already rule over a city-state. Why do we need half of the capital?"

Her shugo chara, Kusu Kusu, floated near her. She wore a red clown suit with white polka-dots. She had on white clown shoes, while her hat had the same pattern as her suit with a green cotton ball-like ball at the tip. She had long orange-blonde hair with the front cut with at shoulder length. On her left cheek was a light green tear drop while on the right was a light green star.

"Why? Why is the world I was born in so corrupted? I wonder if everyone is dealing with the same pattern…" Rima climbed under her covers, crying herself to sleep.

"Rima…" Kusu Kusu barely saw her like this. It made her worry about her character.

It turned out everyone had the same problem.

Kukai managed to argue back with his brothers that he couldn't do that, since it might wreck their city-state reputation.

Yaya cried her way out, since she cried about what would her brother think when he was older about this, to her parents.

Nagihiko barely had a problem with his parents, since they already what they wanted. But the maids kept on pestering him, that he warned them that if they kept on doing this to him, he'll fire them.

Kairi was in a fight with his sister. Their p

arents were currently sick, that his sister went as far as to control the city-state without the consent of his parents. Then making him go into the student records.

Tadase noticed what was going on. He was greatly irritated by the people bribing him to do such things. When he and Kiseki chara-change, he mangaed to shut them up.

Utau and Ikuto were glad enough that they lived away from their stepfather. If he came into their home, he'll would've pester them. But something that night bugged Utau, that the Tsukiyomi siblings were now involved with something that were out of their hands.

"I feel sad for the children, not ours, but the others." Takuma sat down on his armchair.

"I do, too. They still do not know the true history of what happened. I feel bad that the Tsukiyomi's and Fujisaki's are involved with this. They helped us a lot, when we had that war. I feel truly sad for Shouko's sake. She had to marry that wretched man…" Mitsuru shook her head.

"Let's just hope that the younger generation can do better than their parents. Everything will soon be revealed. Everything will crumble, but it will be build once again." Takuma looked at the portrait behind him. If only greed hadn't enter their hearts, maybe everything could've been better…

Chiru: Ooh, doesn't this add tension?

Skittles: Yep.

Chiru: But the original plot is now going to be hard to write.

Skittles: Dude, I know you can write it. Guys, please review.
