Chapter Three: Shugo Chara Terminology with Nadeshiko

Do I really have to do this?

"Of course, Nagihiko-kun! The fans absolutely demand it!"

But Tsukasa-san-!

"And we're on!"

Crap.

"Hello, everyone! Due to the overwhelmingly large number of requests for Nagihiko-kun-"

Please don't.

"-To bring his 'sister', here she is, Nadeshiko!"

H-Hi there! Nadeshiko here; today, we'll be talking about something extremely important in order to write Shugo Chara stories.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH?"

Huh? Amu-chan?

"N-Nagihiko, why are you dressed like that? And why is there a camera? What's going on?"

Oh, Tsukasa-san didn't tell you?

"Man, no one tells me anything anymore..."

"We're broadcasting a live show for all the readers and authors in the Shugo Chara fandom."

"Kairi? You're here too?"

Amu-chan, really, it's not that big of a deal...

"Can I do this with Nade-I mean, Nagihiko? Please, Tsukasa?"

She's using her sparkly attack...

"It's not a problem, Amu-chan, go right ahead!"

"Cool, so what do we have to do?"

Well, I was about to talk about Shugo Chara terminology. Like the correct way to spell-

"Psst! You're in Nagihiko-mode!"

Oh, oops. Ahem.

Let's see...terminology. Spelling; spelling is a really big thing in writing, especially for fanfiction-type stories.

"Hey, Nagihiko?"

Yes, Amu-chan...?

"It's so amazing how you keep up that voice! How do you do it?"

Lots and lots and lots of practice.

Lots.

"Wow!"

...Can we get back to the matter at hand?

"Oh, sure, sorry."

Thanks. Ah, anyways, first let's go over how to correctly spell our names. For the most part, writers are pretty good about names, but there are some names people mess up every now and then.

First, NAGIHIKO. There's an 'i' between the 'g' and 'h', not an 'e.' Be very careful when you type.

I've also seen many people write Tadase's name as "Tadagay" in stories.

"Tadagay? Who calls him that? That's so mean! I can't believe it!"

Yeah, pretty much. No matter how much you all hate him-

"How could someone hate Tadase-kun?"

Oh, you'd be surprised, Amu-chan...

Like I was saying, that little "nickname" shouldn't be used in the actual stories just because you think he's gay.

"Tadase-kun isn't gay!"

Clearly; he dated Amu-chan for a while.

"For a while...?"

Well, aren't you and Tsukiyomi Ikuto sort of a thing?

"WHAT? No way! No! Who told you that? What makes you even think that-?"

I'm sorry?

"There's no way that could ever happen! He's on like the other side of the world!"

There IS a thing called long-distance relationships.

"We're NOT dating! I don't like Ikuto! T-That's ridiculous! It's impossible!"

Um, calm down, Amu-chan. I was just...stating a fact.

"He doesn't even like ME! He's always messing with me!"

Amu-chan? Are we done talking about this now?

"Huh?"

I'd like to, um, move on.

"Oh. Sorry. Sometimes I tend to...yeah. Sorry."

It's fine, no worries.

Here's a complete list of most-used characters from Shugo Chara for your reference.

And it's okay if you put the character's first name first and their last name last. Just keep in mind that technically, it's not correct because in Japan, family names go first.

In this list, last names will be first.

Here it is...

Hinamori Amu. Hotori Tadase. Tsukiyomi Ikuto. Hoshina Utau. Yuiki Yaya. Mashiro Rima. Fujisaki Nagihiko. Fujisaki Nadeshiko. Sanjou/Sanjo Kairi. Lulu de Morcef Yamamoto. Amakawa Tsukasa. Ran. Miki. Su/Suu. Dia. Kiseki. Yoru. Eru/El. Iru/Il. Daichi. Pepe. KusuKusu. Rhythm. Temari. Musashi. Nana.

Did anyone notice a missing character?

You should have because I left out Souma-kun.

I've seen people spell his name "Kukai" or "Kuukai." Both are correct.

See, you can spell it either way. I'm pretty sure it doesn't really matter.

"There's really two different ways to spell Kukai's name?"

Well-

"Yo, Fujisaki, Hinamori!"

Souma-kun?

"Kukai! What are you doing here?"

"Yaya called me and said I had to be here for some-why is Fujisaki in a skirt?"

Are we going through that again, Souma-kun?

"Umm...no. Sorry I asked."

"Great timing, Kukai-kun! You're next!"

Then that means I can go home.

"Bye, Kukai! Good luck!"

"Wait-! Ah, crap, they left."

"Just follow these instructions and we'll be on our way!"

"Instructions? What am I doing?"

"Don't worry, it's completely harmless. Just sit right in that chair over there..."

PLEASE READ!

Finally, another chapter. You guys have no idea how long this took me. ._.

First, I was gonna do Kukai, but then I looked at the reviews and it seemed like more people wanted Nadeshiko. I'm not sure, maybe I counted wrong.

Either way, Kukai will be next! If you couldn't already tell from the end of the chapter...

Review as always, point out any errors or anything you thought was wrong. Constructive criticism is welcome, blah, blah, you know the drill. :)

*****YOU CHOOSE WHO YOU WANT FOR THE FIFTH CHAPTER! Although this time, there will be choices.

It's UTAU versus AMU!

Winner takes all. Haha. (:

ONE VOTE PER PERSON! DO NOT REVIEW LOGGED IN AND THEN REVIEW AS AN ANONYMOUS PERSON.

Thanks!
