Disclaimer: Great news! Peach-Pit gave me the rights to Shugo Chara!, then I woke up. That's right, I still own nothing.
A/N: While working on this, I am simultaneously working on MW so I can get it finished and out of the way so that I can focus on this and I, Nagihiko Fujisaki. Oh dear God, help me. I am such a busy person. I haven't been able to work on writing that much because of track practice and band stuff. And homework, which the teachers have started piling onto us. Anyway; let's get on with the story, shall we? I present to you; CHAPTER TWO! Oh and btw; this chapter's in a normal POV.
"Alright, now we just need to know what day we're gonna do what, then organize them again." Amu told her friend, Rima, sitting across from her.
"Wait, wait... you mean we have to write them all again?" Rima complained, glaring at her.
Amu nodded, then grinned evilly. She got out a piece of paper then numbered it one to ten, skipping a line each time.
"Mkay, tomorrow we can jerk." She scribbled that down on the paper, "and the next day you can go on the blind date."
Rima was still unenthusiastic about the blind date thing. She wasn't much for romantic stuff.
"Let's see... we can cosplay and Caramelldansen in our cosplay outfits the next day..." she wrote that down. "Then, we can go in the haunted house and the next day go to Dave & Buster's." That was scribbled down as well.
By the time they'd both organized what to do and when, in order, the list looked like this:
10 Things To Do Before Summer 2010 Is Over
1. Learn to jerk; do it in a crowded public place. (Monday)
2. Force Rima to go on a blind date. (Tuesday)
3. Cosplay as a favorite anime character. (Wednesday)
4. Caramelldansen on the street in cosplay outfits. (Wednesday)
5. Go in a haunted house. (Thursday)
6. Go to Dave & Busters; act like complete fools. (Friday)
7. Yell "the British are coming!" in Staples whilst getting school supplies. (Saturday)
8. "Back-to-school" party. (Saturday)
9. Sing karaoke at party. (Saturday)
10. Go to McDonald's; annoy the employees by acting like House. (Sunday)
They originally planned for the back-to-school party to be on Sunday, but that would be one day before school started and people might be busy, so they switched it to Saturday.

"Hey! You've reached Yaya Yuiki's cell phone! Yaya is eating candy right now and she'll get back to ya later! LEAVE A MESSAGE~!" There was a beep.
"Heya, Yaya. It's Amu and Rima. We were wondering if you wanted to help us a little with a list we're doing. Get back to us soon!" Amu said into the phone, then hung up. She turned to Rima. "It is fine if she helps, right?" She asked, knowing about the recent tension between the two.
"Of course..." Rima lied very un-smoothly.
Amu knew she was lying, but decided to let the subject go. It wasn't worth the fight.
They spent some more time planning out how to do things and figuring out what time they'd plan for everything to happen, then made sure it was okay with their parents.
"Hey, mom?" Rima asked as her mom turned around to face her.
"Yes?" The color was drained out of her face and her eyes were red. Rima could tell she and her father had been fighting again.
"Uhm, is it okay if Amu and I do this?" She handed her mother the list, prepared for her mom to yell at her because she could get kidnapped or because this stuff wasn't safe.
"Sure." Her mom smiled.
Something was up, and Rima was going to find out what. Later. She ran up to her room after thanking her mom for granting her permission.
"She said fine, what'd your parents say?" She asked Amu, who'd just hung up the phone after calling her parents.
Amu sniffled a little, then wiped her eyes and said, "well, they kinda said..."
"They kinda said what?!" Rima was impatient, and worried that Amu's parents wouldn't allow her to do it.
"I CAN!" Amu screamed. They both squealed, celebrated for a moment, then got serious again.
"Okay, so... what now?" Rima asked, unsure of what to do now that they'd planned everything perfectly and made sure they both had their parent's permission.
"Well, we're pretty much done planning, now we just have to put it in action, right?"
"I guess so... but we have to wait until tomorrow." Rima replied, still weary.
"We can always start inviting people to our back-to-school party." Amu suggested.
"Oh yeah, 'cause we wouldn't wanna wait until the last minute." Rima said, glaring at Amu because she knows Amu's a procrastinator.
So they called up everyone they knew and invited them to the party on Saturday. Everyone was able to come except for two people; Saaya (the popular girl who really hates Amu) and Suzuki (Amu's creepy stalker fanboy). Amu was thankful that neither of them could go, she was sure the party would be better without.
