Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara, seriously, i don't.
"Who?...what?...who?" Amis eyes were large and frightened. She was pushing herself away from the 'fairy' sitting casually on her bed side table.
"Ah Ami," the small person let out a sigh and smiled. "Let's not get bored with the details, how about some grub!" She flew up closer to the now spazzing out Ami and grinned.
"Who...who...who?" Ami was frightened beyond repair, reminding herself of her big sister.
"Fine then," she fiddled with her hair and closed her eyes. "My name is Lyric, and I'm your guardian character."
"WHAT!" Ami stood up and started to run circles around her room. "What's happening? What's happening? What's happening-"
"AMI!" Lyric gave a shout. "I thought you knew about guardian characters?" The brunette crossed her arms
"I've been watching you for a while now; you've grown up with guardian characters in your life." Lyric flew up to Ami who had calmed down.
"AHAH." Ami smiled up at Lyric. "My guardian character!" Ami squeezed Lyric into a crippling hug.
"That's the Ami I know!" Lyric laughed as Ami held her tight and ran into her big sister's room.
In Amu's room.
"Amu-Chan!" Ami burst open her sisters door, as Amu looked up in confusion. "Meet Wiwic!" Ami jumped onto her sister and laughed.
"Wiwic?" Amu asked.
"Lyric." Lyric corrected. "You must be Amu-Chan!" Lyric hugged Amu as a greeting.
"And you must be Ran, Miki, and Su." Lyric hugged each guardian character and laughed.
"Wow, she certainly is Ami-Chan's guardian character isn't she?" Miki laughed awkwardly.
"You got that right Miki." Amu laughed as Ami and Lyric played around her room, laughing.
"Ami." Amu interrupted her little sisters dancing "When did Lyric hatch?" Ami looked at Lyric in confusion.
"I don't know" Ami looked over excited at the story Lyric was about to tell.
"Well, I hatched while Ami-Chan was taking a bath, but I almost didn't hatch at all today." Lyric looked at her feet.
"Huh?" Amu and Ami looked at Lyric.
"Well, When Ami was at school today, she didn't believe that she could make friends so easily, she thought people wouldn't be interested, and that she would be embarrassed." Lyric looked at her feet and kicked the ground.
"Oh, seems like Amu and Ami have more in common than being stubborn." Ran laughed.
"Yeah, they both don't believe in themselves, and have a 'would-be' self." Su chirped in with Ran.
"But that's okay now, Ami believes! don't you Ami!" Lyric flew up into the air and smiled. Ami looked down, no longer smiling. "Ami?" Lyric looked over, worried.
"Uh-oh." Miki, Ran and Su stared at Ami who was now staring out the window and sighed.
"Is Ami having second thoughts?" Amu asked her guardian characters.
"Ami?" Lyric worriedly looked at her.
"I'm fine" Ami walked out of her sister's room.
Lyric watched Ami leave her big sisters room. This hadn't been the first time she'd seen this side of her.
In the past
"Ami-Chan" Amis mother was holding her daughters hand "It's time to go"
"No!" Ami begged "I don't wanna go to Kinda"
"But Ami, it's your first day" Ami's mother looked worried at the now crying toddler.
"It'll be okay" she picked up the toddler and took her to school.
Ami sat at a bench staring at her hands harshly, not moving; only blinking occasionally. Lyric watched from Ami's heart. 'I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't" Ami refused the thought of going and finding some new friends to play with. "I can't" she finally said aloud.
"Can't what?" a small girl around her age stood blankly in front of her.
"None of your business." Ami went into default-leave-me-alone mode, and looked away crossing her arms.
"Okay..." the once happy girl was now occupying sad puppy eyes.
"Who needs friends" Ami muttered under her breath as the girl ran to a group of people. "Who am I kidding? What did I do? She probably didn't want to hang out with me in the first place" Ami whispered convincing herself that she couldn't, tears forming in her eyes, I can't.
Now
"Ami hasn't always been sure of herself..." Lyric whispered "Not until you started getting your guardians Amu" Lyric gave Amu a sad smile "for that I am forever in your debt." Lyric bowed to Amu and her guardians as she started to leave the room.
"I didn't know that Ami had her own 'cool n spicy' exterior, just like you Amu" Su watched the upset guardian character float after Amu's little sister.
"Yeah" Amu confirmed.
"Ami-Chan?" Lyric peered through the door to find Ami on her carpet holding a doll of Utau. "Is that Utau Ami?" Lyric flew up and smiled at the doll. Ami's face was blank, and appeared tired. "Ami?" Lyric flew in front of her face. "C'mon let's sing!" Lyric twirled around. "You love to sing!" Lyric smiled "Like today, with the violin" Ami looked up at Lyric eyes wider than usual. "Character change!" Lyric flew into the air, Ami's eyes popped open wide and a giant flower clip popped into her hair.
"LET'S SING LYRIC!" the now ecstatic first grader suggested, and grabbed a microphone out of nowhere as Utau's songs blared from the young girl's mouth.
Don't stare at me, don't capture me,
I'm a butterfly that has lost her way,
Invisible wings that are clad in wishes and take off-
You're hiding them deep in your chest
Ami screamed into the mic as her mother, father and Amu stared blank at her door. Lyric danced around, singing along. Amis father took pictures, Amis mother was so pleased, and Amu smiled at her younger sisters guardian character, making Ami truly act as her would be self.
The next day
"Ami-Chan. " Ami's mother opened the door to her daughters room "it's morning" Ami let out a yawn and watched her mother come up to her bed and draw open the curtains. "You're breakfast is downstairs" she called behind her, walking down the steps.
Ami looked out the window, the weather had been miserable lately, and she had the feeling that today wasn't going to be a good day. Ami looked at her feet which were under the covers and sighed, since she started elementary school her mother's style for her was getting too old, so it had started to develop more of a replica of Amu. Ami quickly dressed into her Seiyo Elementary uniform and ran to the top of the stairs, bumping into Amu. Ami examined her sister, wearing her uniform almost identical to hers, except for Ami's signature ponytails, just like Hoshina-Utau. Ami and Amu walked down the stairs in total silence, both using a default-cool-and-spicy-outer-character that helped at times.
"Ah! Ami-Chan!" Ami's father cooed "You look so cute!" The girl's father took pictures of Ami from every direction; Ami started to roll her eyes but was stopped by a now familiar voice. "Ami-Chan! You love pictures! From a girl who's a little shy, to a girl who's confident, CHARACTER CHANGE!" The now signature flower clip appeared in her hair, as she posed for every shot, dragging Amu into them with her. "That's better."Lyric said from afar, watching Ami laugh "It's my job Ami, to help you be yourself" Amu and Ami waved goodbye to their parents and started to walk towards Seiyo Elementary, Lyric, Ran, Miki, Su and Dia played behind them.
"Amu-Chan" Ami held her sisters hand as she walked. "I don't wanna go to school again today" Ami looked at the ground.
"Ami stop it, you went yesterday and you're going again today" Ami pulled herself closer to her sister. Across the road two boys were playing soccer as they walked.
"Hiroki-Kun!" one boy laughed to the other. "You should join the soccer team." Hiroki laughed and missed the ball his friend had kicked him.
"Ami, I've gotta go. I'm gonna be late" Amu ran as Ami watched after her, giving a blank stare.
"Hey! Hey!" Hello?" The boy named Hiroki yelled and waved at Ami "Could you kick the over?" Ami studied the boy, a Seiyo Elementary uniform worn properly but a sense of individuality came from it, brown hair spiked everywhere looked wild and neat at the same time. But his eyes were the main attraction, large and free like Ami's, a deep brown shade spread over them. Ami's heart skipped a beat. "Hello?" Hiroki cocked his head to one side "are you okay" Ami picked up the ball, thinking about kicking it she looked at it and thought to herself "I can't kick it, I'll embarrass myself in front of him" Ami started to cross the road, her eyes locked squarely in the boy. "Wait! Look out!" Ami looked down the road as a car sped towards her "Watch out!" Hiroki pushed Ami out of the way of the moving vehicle and crashed down with her on the pavement. Ami's face remained motionless the whole time, until she opened her eyes. Hiroki lay on the pavement, Ami realized that she was lying on top of him, on-top-of-him, her hand came to her mouth, her eyes were shocked, the ball still resting in her hands. Ami got up and started running, leaving the ball with him "are you okay?" Hiroki yelled after her "I'm fine! I'm sorry!" Ami turned into the school gates and hid behind a wall, breathing heavily. "That boy was cute, don't cha think Ami?" Lyric smiled at her. "Lyric!" Ami grabbed her "No he wasn't" Ami turned her head away flicking a piece of hair away from her eyes. "I'm just grateful he saved my life" Ami slid down the wall to sit down "you could thank him, didn't he look familiar?" Lyric suggested. Ami thought for a second and realized that Tyakai-Hiroki-Kun was in her class. "Damn" Ami huffed, she couldn't avoid him now.
In Seiyo High School
Amu sat at her desk, she felt really out of it today. Thinking of Ami's hearts egg, and that day, so long ago, when Ami wanted to be just like her. It kept replaying in her mind. Even if Ami just said it to get Ice-cream, Ami had been serious, for a second there, hadn't she.
"Hinamori-San?" Tadase asked as the two were walking down the hall together.
"Huh?" Amu asked looking at Tadase after she snapped out of her daydreaming.
"Are you okay Amu-Chan?" Nagihiko walked up alongside them, overhearing their conversation.
"Yeah" Amu nodded, looking at her feet.
"Are you sure, you seem a bit out of it today?" Tadase persisted to hear the pink haired girl's problems.
"It's fine, I have...to go to the bathroom" Amu used the first bathroom door she saw as an excuse and barged through into a surprisingly empty bathroom. "Ah, that was a close one" Amu sunk to the floor and huffed. "I don't want to tell Tadase what's going on with Ami. He always offers to hear my problems. Doesn't he get sick of it?"
"Tadase can be pretty annoying, but what's wrong with telling your problems..." Amu looked up in small shock and knew the deadpan voice that came with the very petite blonde haired friend of hers, Rima. "Now spill it." Rima knelt down to Amu who was smiling at her friend's act of 'kindness' and exceeded to spill her guts to her best friend.
"Hmmmm" Rima thought for a good while staring at nothing in particular. "So Ami has a guardian character" Rima counted 1 on her hands.
"Check"
"And she's stubborn like you?"
"Well, I don't know about stubborn"
"And she's having second thoughts about being herself"
"Yeah, I guess" Amu puffed "BUT I AM NOT STUBBORN!" Amu crossed her arms.
"kehehehehehehe" KusuKusu giggled at Amu's stubbornness.
"Well then, Tell Hotori-Kun" Rima stood up.
"Rima that's the whole reason I told you!" Amu barked "I didn't want to tell Tadase"
"Well if you don't tell him I will, and how dare you speak to the former queens chair like that, I thought we were friends" Amu stared at Rima's large fawn-like eyes which were now bellowing giant crocodile tears.
"Rima! No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Amu sighed "Let's go find Tadase-Kun"
"Good, Ran character change" Rima ordered Amu's chara.
"Roger Rima-Tan"
"Character change!" Ran laughed.
"LET'S GO FIND TADASE!" Amu's clip transformed into a heart and she dragged a deadpan Rima along with her to find Tadase.
Meanwhile At Seiyo Academy Elementary
Ami walked into the first grade butterfly classroom, after she put her bag into her box she immediately looked for a place to hide until the home room teacher came in. Just as she had spotted a place to sit, a familiar voice screeched at her.
"Hey it's you, Are you okay?" Tyakai-Hiroki-Kun asked Ami who was now in shock.
"Tyakai-Kun!" Ami asked in shock as the cute boy sparkled at her, Ami swore she melted.
"Haha! Hi! I swore I saw you somewhere! Are you okay?" The boy was awfully peppy as he repeated his question.
"Huh? What? Huh?" Ami was positively befuddled, she could hardly think straight with him standing there let alone talking to her.
"This morning, I gotta tell you I wasn't sure if we were gonna make it" Hiroki smiled at Ami and then curiously picked up her hand.
"huh? What are you-" Ami looked at the boy who was staring at her scraped hand, breathing heavily.
"Did this happen this morning? does it hurt?" Hiroki delicately held Amu's hand in his examining it closely.
"Tyakai-Kun" Ami said in almost a whisper.
"Do you want to go to the nurse? It looks like it hurts" before Ami could respond Hiroki had grabbed her other hand and ran out of the room excusing themselves quickly with the home room teacher.
"Good to escape huh?" Hiroki grinned, putting his hands up behind his head as he walked. Ami blushed, looking away from his captivating eyes. "I can see you're chara y'know." Hiroki walked proudly as Ami stopped still.
"You can see my guardian character?" Ami almost whispered.
"Yahuh" Hiroki gave a large smile and winked at Ami who was close to being rendered catatonic.
"Meet Ike" Hiroki gestured towards a chara no bigger than Lyric wearing dark blue shorts and an orange top with hair the colour of Hiroki's , Ami was immediately reminded of her sisters friend Kukai and his guardian character.
"Ike?" Ami breathed "Ike" Ami stared at Hiroki's large eyes, his large hypnotizing eyes, she was lost in them now, forever a goner. What was she thinking she thought to herself, Amu would never let this happen. She had some dignity and Ami wanted to leave with some of hers too. So she turned around and walked away, leaving a very befuddled first grader.
"Hey Ami-Chan! Where are you going? The nurse's office is this way, AMI-CHAN!" Hiroki yelled. Ami flinched as he said her name. Stopping, it played over 'Ami-Chan?' Hiroki caught up to her and caught her shoulder "Ami-Chan?" Ami shrugged him off, starting to run away.
"Two can play at that game." Hiroki laughed enjoying the chase "Ike character transformation"
"Roger that"
"My heart: Unlock!" Hiroki sparkled as Ami watched then continued to run in shock. "Character Transformation: Sky Beam
"What?" Ami looked back confused as Hiroki caught up to her in a flash and flew on his back looking up at her.
"When a friend is in need your help them out." Ike's voice echoed through Hiroki.
"A friend?" Ami looked at the hand held out to her, blushing she felt a warm hand grab hers.
"Come on!" Hiroki scooped Ami up and flew out a window zooming across then gently placing her on a tall oak trees branch. Ami sighed with relief, and immediately grabbed onto a branch in shock of being up around 25m in the air.
"Hahaha." Hiroki puffed out of his character transformation "you're a little jittery."
"Get me down you idiot!" Ami held onto a branch her knees shaking in terror.
"Uh-oh, I'm so sorry!" Hiroki character changed and flew down.
"Oh my god you idiot, I could've died, you stupid jerk, I couldn't broken my back, you creep" Ami ranted sounding very much like her big sister.
"S-sorry" Hiroki blushed, looking at his feet.
"What's with the change of character?" Ami was still acting very defensive.
"This is my real character; I used to be really shy, well, still am really shy. That's why when Ike was born I character changed with him every day so I could actually talk to people instead of just staring at the floor." Hiroki looked at his feet, Ami thought to herself that she liked the other Hiroki better, he was more confident.
Wow, gripping, that was fun, I guess. Nawwww Ami is getting a crush. If Eru was there I'm sure she would have said something about like 10 out of 10 love bars!Amu hasn't changed a bit, but Ami is starting to replicate her, well not literally or anything. so yeah, god I say that a lot. So yeah. If you review, I love you, and as my mother always says, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Got it? Okay, love ya, bye!
