So this chapter is for Lalalola012 and for ShugoCharaFan1234 and also for Luckycandyfourleafclover and Heart-Shaped Quill.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara. I think the Peach-Pit people would have better things to do then write fanfiction about their own story.
"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.
Hiroki blushed as Ami stood up smiling, her hand held out to him.
"If a friend is in need, you help them out." Lyric smiled beside Ami.
"Ami-Chan!"
Amu's POV
"So with all that, Tadase, I think I need your help." Amu took a breath after explaining everything to Tadase, very quickly, I might add.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmm" Tadase thought aloud, much like Rima. "Well, that's very simple Amu-Chan."
"Yes, I agree. Amu...you should have known from the start." Rima sipped quietly on a cup of cocoa.
"..." Amu let her mouth hang open. "Rima, why didn't you tell me from the start?" Amu barked and waved her arms around like crazy.
"Do not talk like that." Rima gave a very familiar death glare for about ten seconds, and then continued elegantly sipping away. "So, you didn't want to talk to the prince..." Rima smirked emphasizing on the PRINCE!
"Prince?"
"Uh-oh"
"Prince!"
"Oh...god!"
"Kneel before me commoners, I am no mere prince" Tadase took this opportunity to put his foot on Nagihiko's back, standing proudly, as Nagi was getting squished. ""
"Amu-Chan!" Tadase pointed to the pink haired girl.
"Yes!" Amu blushed; people where starting to look.
"You mustn't let Ami-Chan have dreams! She is a mere commoner!" Tadase yelled ""
"Um..." Amu blushed, looking at the still dead-panned Rima.
"Calm down Tadase." Rima threw a bucket to Nagihiko, so he could snap the 'prince' out of his character change.
"Huh?" Tadase lifted the bucket slightly from his head. "Why is there a bucket on my head?" Tadase blushed realizing he had character changed in front of Amu...again. He quickly went into foetal position rocking back and forth; his face still blushing.
"Hahahahahaha." Amu eventually burst out laughing, confusing everyone.
"Amu?" the group asked worried.
"Tadase!" Amu said between laughs. "You can always brighten up the day." She managed to get in before bursting into another fit if laughter; Nagi and Rima joining in, then eventually Tadase too.
After school
Ami rested against the gate of the school, Lyric flying playfully near her.
"Amu-Chan, where are you?" Ami whispered.
"Hey! Ami-Chan!" Her sister ran towards her smiling stupidly. Ami sweat dropped as people were looking and some even laughing. "Thank god you didn't walk off by yourself," Amu puffed for air, smiling at Ami. "Let's go."
Amu and Ami started walking, skipping, laughing, and talking.
"Ami! Look!" Amu pointed to a nearby market. "A taiyaki stand!" Amu pulled out some money as she turned to her sister "Want one?"
"Yes." Ami said, waiting at a nearby tree and admiring the leaves
"Ami-Chan?" Ami looked around, searching for the voice.
"Ah!" she let out a shriek as she turned around, Hiroki smiling blissfully behind her.
"Oh...Hiroki, what are you doing here?" Ami questioned the young boy.
"Just playing soccer with my buds...hey you should-"
"Hiroki?" the tall messy brown haired boy stood next to the pink haired girl.
"Huh?" Hiroki looked up "Hey Kūkai!"
"You know him?" Both Amu and Ami asked in unison, a little shocked.
"Yeah yeah, he's my bro." Kūkai gripped the first grader into a head lock.
"Bro?" Amu and Ami tilted their heads to the sides and exclaimed a little loudly.
"Kūkai I can't believe you never told me you had a little brother!" Amu judged.
"Well, he's only my half brother, but I never say that, he's like family." Kūkai stole his brother's soccer ball and flipped it around his feet in a fancy fashion.
"So...Kūkai is your big brother?" Ami crossed her arms. "That explains how much you look like him and your chara." Ami stated conclusively.
"Chara?" Kūkai looked at Hiroki "chara...as in guardian character?"
"Yeah you know his char-" Ami was interrupted by a hand covering her mouth. It was Hiroki's, she blushed, he was literally inches away from her face.
"Ami doesn't know what she's talking about Kūkai, don't listen to her, she's crazy!" Both Amu and Kūkai raised an eyebrow; Ami gave a muffle of noise underneath Hiroki's palm.
"Do you have a guardian character?" Kūkai leaned down to reach the same height as his little brother.
"Yes, yes he does" Ike came out of nowhere, introducing himself surprisingly.
"Ike, get away before I kill you!" Hiroki grabbed Ike, facing his back to everyone, whispering insults to the small 'would-be' self.
"Aw! It's like Daichi! Now that I think about it, you're like a mini Kūkai! Oh-my-god-that's-cute-I-could-die!" Amu peered over Hiroki's shoulder in awe over the boy and his chara.
"Hiroki, I can't believe you didn't tell me." Kūkai watched his younger brother's chara.
"Yo Daichi!" Ike high-fived, they really did look similar.
"Yo." Daichi returned.
"Huh? Ami is Hinamori-Amu your sister?" Hiroki asked.
"Yes." Ami nodded.
"Shrimp?" Kūkai called to his little brother. "Wrap it up, I'm glad I ran into ya. We gotta go." Kūkai did his signature put-arms-up-behind-his-head.
"Okay...um..." Hiroki shuffled his feet around.
"Better make this worth while...Hiroki, Character Change!" Ike forcefully character changed with Hiroki, his usual blue star appeared in his hair, indicating a character change.
"Ami-Chan! I would very much like it if you came over to my house for dinner!" Hiroki gave a thumbs up and grinned. Ami was speechless; staring at the pleasant boy and blushing.
"From a girl who can't express her feelings, to a girl who can! Character Change!" Lyric appeared out of nowhere, reciprocating Ike's forceful change.
"Hiroki I would very much love to come to your house for dinner. It would be a dream come true." Ami and Hiroki sparkled; grinning at each other, both with thumbs up.
"Um...uh...oh gosh." Ami and Hiroki puffed out of their character change, blushing and staring at the floor.
"Hiroki will see you at 6!" Ike spoke for his bearer.
"Until then!" Lyric waved.
"Been there." Amu patted little sister on the back "Ran has that kind of character change on me too."
"Now I have to go to dinner." Ami muttered under her breath.
"Mama, we're home!" Amu and Ami burst through the door. They were late, again.
"Um...mama?" Ami walked cautiously up to her mother and father sitting on the couch. "A...friend has invited me over for dinner..." Ami looked at her shoes.
"A friend from school?" Amis mother questioned.
"Yes..." Ami eyed her father.
"Who?" Amis mother asked.
"You wouldn't know him...them...you wouldn't know them!"
"HIM?" Amis father suddenly payed attention. "My baby Ami is having dinner with a boy!" Amis father wept "This cannot be!"
"Ami! A boy? That's so sweet, of course!" Ami's mother sent her to her room to get ready, fawning over her growing up daughter.
"Lyric, what should I wear?" Ami sat studying a pile of messy clothes.
"That one!" Lyric assembled an outfit. "Try it on."
"Okay." Ami dressed into her more old style outfit, wearing a pastel pink skirt and a baby blue jumper, her long white socks reaching just below her knees.
"Ami, it's so cute on you!" Lyric hummed at her bearer.
"But...Hiroki will take one look at me and laugh!" Ami pulled at her skirt.
"Ami, you really do want to wear this, I just know it, and so you're on your best behaviour. Character change!" Lyric flew up into the air happily as the flower popped into Ami's hair.
"Mama! I'm leaving now! Yay!" Ami slid down the stair banister, hugging her mother and father. "Tell Amu I said see ya!" She called behind her, dashing out of the house.
At Hiroki's
Ding dong.
Ami rang the doorbell of the Tyakai-Soma household, grinning pleasantly.
"Good afternoon, you must be Ami-Chan!" Hiroki's mother politely opened the door.
"Ami-Chan!" Ami could tell he was in his usual character change; he was wearing a white collared short-sleeved shirt, with deep green shorts, his white socks reaching halfway between his calves.
He leaped from his star case step and jumped onto Ami in an embrace.
"Hiroki?" Ami blushed from the hug. "What are you doing?" she whispered.
"Saying hello!" Hiroki helped Ami up, dragging her up and pulling her up the steps, towards a door with a green H on it and soccer posters scattered on it.
"Hiroki! Dinner is in 10 minutes!" Kūkai peered through the door. "We're playing soccer. Wanna join?"
"Yes!" Hiroki tugged on Ami, dragging her off to the small backyard.
"Hiroki!" One of his brothers summoned him "Kūkai challenges you!" He kicked a soccer ball in his direction and pointed to the high school student.
"I accept!" Hiroki pumped a fist into the air, smiling at his older brother evilly.
"Hiroki! You are so going down! Kūkai never loses, especially to a little first grader."
"One of us...isn't getting out of here clean..." Hiroki and Kūkai engaged in some back and forth banter, whilst Ami watched from the sidelines with his sweaty cheering Neanderthals of older brothers.
"Extreme shoot!" Hiroki powerfully kicked the ball, letting it fly straight towards Kūkai. He jumped and blocked it easily.
"You're not practicing. Getting lazy huh? Spending too much time with Ami?" Kūkai teased spinning the ball around his arms.
Ami quickly re-puffed into a character change, grabbing banners that came from nowhere in particular and began cheering for Hiroki.
"Hooray! Hooray! Hiroki-Kun!" Ami repeated; obviously building the boy's self esteem.
"Victory score!" without letting Kūkai even flinch, Hiroki blast the ball straight through the goal while all of his brothers sweat dropped at their younger brother's sudden mad skill.
One finally broke the silence.
"Kūkai lost to a first grader!" They laughed cheering it in sing-song tone, mocking the boy.
"No! I didn't! I let him win!" Kūkai protested.
"Right!" Hiroki sarcastically chimed in, earning himself five minutes of being put into a head lock, his hair being rustled.
"Boys, Ami; dinner time!" A very pleased Mrs. Tyakai opened the back door for everyone.
Ami's POV
"Thank-you for all your help Ami-Chan" Hiroki almost whispered to me. I felt a warmth spread down my arm...wait, what? I was less confused and more shocked when I noticed he was holding my hand in his. "You really are very helpful..."
"Hiroki" I was confused, he wasn't in a character change. His usual star was nowhere to be seen. But he wasn't stuttering, and was very calm. That's when I realized, Ike was helping Hiroki to find himself, just as much as Lyric was helping me to find myself. We were in the same boat, and I was glad of it!
Well that was fun! I hope you all enjoyed. In the words of Lola that was excruciatingly cray-cray! Thank god for holidays I can focus on my fan fiction...it's taken up my life! I wonder who's reading this?...is anyone reading this?...again...hello everybody in fanfic land! You've been reading Ami-Chan's hearts egg, because Yayaluva strikes again!
