Peach-Pit owns Shugo Chara!, I own Miliko.

I lied on my bed, thinking about the question earlier asked.

Do I? Do I?, I asked myself.

I couldn't find the answer. I pulled my cell phone out of my back pocket, and stared at it. I flipped it open, and started a text.

Listen, I'm sorry about earlier. I'm not exactly sure yet… I promise, I'll have an answer for you. In two days time. I will spend time with you if you allow to truly see if I do.

I hit send, and the message went off to Tadase. I ran to Kei's room, and flew in the door.

"Kei! I just sent a text to Tadase… and I think it might make him mad!" I cried.

"Lemme see," Kei said, and I gave him my phone. He read the text, and handed it back to me, "It's fine."

"Are you sure? I come to you BECAUSE you're a guy. I come to you to see if something I did might make a guy mad," I sighed in exasperation.

"I know, I know! Um…. By the way I have to tell you something," he replied.

Just then my phone beeped. I flipped it open with shaking hands, and read the text.

Okay

Okay? Okay? OKAY? God, Tadase! Aren't you supposed to be in love with me?, I thought.

"What does it say?" Kei asked.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

"... Wow…," Kei said.

"I know. I'm calling him," I sighed, and started dialing numbers on my phone as I walked back to my room.

"Who?" two little voices asked as I closed my bedroom door.

"Tadase," I told Kumiko and Mariko.

"Hello?" Tadase said.

"Uh, hi? Tadase-kun? It's Miliko."

"Oh, hi. What do you want?"

"Your last text was annoying. I apologize and say I'm gonna figure it out, and all you say is 'Okay'? REALLY TADASE? I thought you were supposed to be in love with me! You give me one word replies? Ugh!" I screamed.

"I didn't know what to say!" he yelled back.

"Again, I say a whole bunch of stuff, then you give me a FEW WORDS? I am fed up with this! You're supposed to be king! You're barely a PEASANT! I mean really Tadase!"

"Don't you know that's who I'm trying to be? I want to be a strong speaker, one worthy of being King, who gives great speeches! I mean, Kiseki isn't here for nothing! He's not a decoration on my shelf! I don't have a collection of little people dressed funny that I keep in a jar, preserved! Honestly, Miliko! I'm trying! I'm not like Ikuto where I can say all this stuff then run! I'm not! I'm a failure at life! I'm never going to accomplish my dreams!" Tadase screamed at me.

"WELL SORRY!" I shouted into the phone.

"Do you really mean that?" he asked.

"No, not in the slightest."

"Goodnight, Second Joker." I heard silence, then a click as I could tell Tadase shut his phone. I threw my phone against the ground, and threw myself onto my bed.

"Good job, Miliko-chan!" Mariko said.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You fail, Miliko-chan. Fail," Kumiko sighed.

"I don't need your crap, Kumiko. Thanks, Mariko-chan. Good to know one person is on my side."

"Miliko!" a voice said under my balcony.

I jumped up and ran out.

"Tadase-kun?" I pondered.

"Miliko-chan, I'm sorry!" he called up.

"Chara Change! From a girl who's mad to a girl who's sweet!" Kumiko whispered, and I felt undesirably kind.

"Oh, Tadase-kun! I'm sorry, too!" I called down.

"Why are you sorry? You don't need to be!" he smiled. I changed back to normal, and got a puzzled look.

"You're right, I don't!" I smiled back.

"Are you blaming me?" he asked, frowning.

"Yeah, kinda."

"Uh, this is kinda all your fault?"

"No, it's not, Tadase! I don't need this! You have never once been there for me! You started this!" I screamed, chara changed with Mariko.

"Miliko. You have a blue streak in your hair," Tadase said in a shaky voice.

"Yeah, I know! And ya know what? It's gonna stay 'till I'm done with you!" I screamed.

"A ? Egg, Miliko-chan!" Mariko gasped.

"What?" I said, my hair normal again.

"Let's go!" she said, and Kumiko, Mariko and I ran off.

I saw the girl in the air, and looked at Mariko.

"My Heart: Unlock!" I flew into the air, background deep red.

Mariko's egg closed around her and her egg sat at my feet. I bent over, and scooped her up with both hands, bringing her up where her egg melted into my chest. Behind me turned black, and I clicked my heels. Knee-high lace-up boots appeared, and white socks extended to my thighs. I spun in the air, and got black shorts with a deep red tank top. I smiled deviously, and bent over and up quickly, my hair flying behind me with blue streaks of lightning running down my hair all over. It knitted itself into a messy, spiky ponytail. I put my hands out, and a staff materialized in my hands, black with a blue lightning bolt at the top.

I landed, and posed, shouting, "Character Transformation: Rebel Gem!"

"Good job, Miliko!" Kumiko commented.

"Yeah."

"Why don't you like my chocolates?" the girl said in a robotic voice.

"They taste terrible! They're grainy and dry and terrible!" I screamed at the girl, trying what Amu did.

The ? melted into an x.

"Gem Heart Magic!" I called, and swung my staff around, purple sparkles left in a trail. I paused, and blew them at the girl. They wrapped around her, and she returned to normal.

"Oh my gosh! Good job, Nozaki!" Tadase said as he ran up behind me. I un-transformed but was chara changed with Mariko.

"Oh, so now it's Nozaki?" I grumbled.

"Yes."

"Good night, Hotori," I said, and walked off.

No POV

Tadase stood there, his heart broken, as Miliko walked off. He basically just got dumped.

"Dangit! I just lost the love of my life!"

Yeah, yeah, wah, wah, Tadase. Grow a pair. Deal with it. Sorry if this chapter seems to be running really fast, I'm trying to end it so I can start a new one. Until next time, Bye!
