Chapter 3: What? Are you serious?

Erica woke up with her radio as the alarm clock. Hearing the music she got up and rubbed her eyes and stretched. She made her way to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed. Ten minutes later she was at her desk finishing the last of her homework and put everything away.

"Erica?" Nala said coming up to her making Erica jump. She had almost completely forgotten about her chara's.

"Oh Nala, good morning." She said in a more cheerful voice then necessary.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Nala asked worried.

"A lot better than normal since I've moved here. Last night's song on the radio I guess hit a cord. Where's Amy?" Erica asked looking around for her little cooking chara.

"In the kitchen, she said something About making you lunch." Nala explained.

Erica quickly headed down the stairs to make sure Amy did get caught by her parents. 'Amy, what were you thinking?'

"Erica what's the rush?" Nala asked seeing Erica's worried face.

"What do you think my parents would say to seeing Amy in the kitchen." She stated more then asked as she reached the doorway of the kitchen.

"They can't see us." Nala announced making her stop in her tracks.

"What?" She asked turning to Nala in surprise. "What do you mean they can't see you?"

"I mean we can only be seen by people that know about us and people that have chara's. No one else is able to see us." Nala explained before a small scream came from the kitchen.

Erica spun around and entered the kitchen just in time to be hit in the face by Amy who flew right where Erica had looked in from.

After coming back to her senses she looked around the kitchen only for her eyes to land on one thing. And that thing was point up at Amy, that thing was…

"Danny."

~meanwhile at Amu's~

Amu was slowly waking up to the morning sun. After what happened last night she just came home and fell asleep on her bed.

'That was a crazy night. I wonder who that boy was with Ikuto?' she didn't have time to ponder on the subject as her eyes adjusted and landed on her alarm clock that never went off this morning.

"Oh My God, is it that time already? I'm going to be so late!" she jumped off her bed, got dressed, brushed her teeth, combed her hair and ran down the stairs. Nearly tripping over Ami's book bag that was laying next to the stairs and front door.

"Morning Amu." Her mother called from the kitchen.

Amu grabbed a piece of toast and ran to the door, yelling over her shoulder, "Bye Mama, Papa, Ami, see you after school." And closed the door behind her.

Amu almost ran into Erica as they both ran down the street, colliding in front or Erica's house.

"Running late?" Erica asked still running.

"Was that an American joke?" Amu asked looking at her friend.

Erica nodded and said nothing more. Amy was in her owners bag while Nala was floating beside her head like Amu's chara's where.

They made it to the school without a second to spare and sat down in their seats out of breath.

"That was to close." Erica said more to herself then anyone around her.

"Agreed Erica-chan." Amu said smiling at her. They then went into a buddle of laughs before the sensei came in and quieted everyone down.

At lunch Amu met up with the guardians in the garden for an afternoon meeting.

Tadase was the first one to speak. "There is a new student in our school and Hinamori-san has had the privilege to meet her and show her around. Now as for the ball that's coming up, we need to decide on a theme for it. Any suggestions?"

Rima spoke first. "A formal black and white ball would do the school wonders to show that we are not as childish as some may think of our age, but very mature and growing young adults."

"That's so boring even if it does have a point." Kukai said shoving the idea aside. We need something that the high scholar's haven't done in years and they did that two years ago. For the same reason."

"Why not a masquerade ball?" Amu put in acting like she didn't care all that much. When really she had always wanted to dress up in something pretty.

"Great idea, and everyone can have a date to the dance. No groups." Nagihiko proposed.

"All in favor of Hinamori-san's idea of a masquerade ball say 'I'." Tadase announced.

Five 'I's' were announced. "It is unanimous. We will be having a masquerade ball in three weeks.

"Before anyone leaves for lunch I thought that you should know that Erica the new student from America has a chara." Amu said standing.

"Then let's go meet her shall we?" Kukai said excitedly.

So they headed to lunch, or rather Amu's class room where the students were having lunch.

"Erica-chan, could you come out here for a moment please." Nagihiko said opening the door.

The class whispered quietly to each other as Erica got up from her seat and walked out the door. Un known to anyone but Erica, Amy was hiding in her owner's inner jacket pocket while Nala was sleeping in her hair.

They closed the door behind her and made their way down the hall. "So this is the new Student. We heard that you have a chara, is that right?" Kukai asked excitedly while keeping his voice down.

"Yes Nala is right here." Erica said indicating to her head.

"Eh?! It's a cat chara. You wouldn't be related to Tsukiyomi Ikuto, would you?" Kukai asked half joking and half serious.

"No I'm not related to Tsukiyomi Ikuto." Erica explained giggling a little.

"So you're American?" Tadase asked changing the subject. It continued like that for a few minutes till lunch was almost over and they had to go back to class.

~After school~

"will you be alright walking home alone Erica-chan?" Amu asked looking at her new friend with concern.

"Yes I'll be fine. See you tomorrow Amu-chan." And with that she left leaving Amu to her guardians meeting.

"How are you doing Amy?" Erica asked opening her jacket and letting Amy out to the fresh air.

"I'm good, when are you telling the others about me?" she asked curiously.

"Soon. Very soon." She said smiling at her two chara's.

As she was walking home she saw across the street a blue Alfa Romeo Brera hatchback. (A/N: if you don't know what this car is or looks like, google it.) A boy about 17 years of age was walking up to it. Erica just stopped in her tracks. She looked at him from his Black hoodie, long sleeved red shirt and blue pants to his long dark purple hair that reached to his firm butt to his ocean blue eyes that reminded her of the sea shore. All in all she couldn't take her eyes off of him.

Just as he reached the car he looked up, stared at her for a moment. Their eyes met. What seemed like an eternity to her was merely a moment in time, for he got in his car and drove away from the scene.

"Who was that?" She asked breathlessly to herself. Forgetting her chara were with her as she stared at where his Alfa Romeo had disappeared to.

"Who knows, the possibility of seeing him again is not very likely. He's 17 and your 12. There is a five year difference between you two." Nala said thinking logically about the situation.

"Wouldn't it be nice to see him again?" Erica asked continuing her walk home.

"Amy call the national guard, we've lost her!" Nala said teasingly.

"Oh Nala, just because I think a guy is… is…"

"Hot, sexy, make your heart melt." Amy suggested teasing Erica as well.

"Okay she he's to die for. It's like Nala said. The chances of seeing him again are rare." Erica said sounding a little disappointed. She wanted to see that man again. He was… in a word… Fine!

As she reached home she went into the kitchen and saw a note that read

'Dear Erica, taking your mother out to dinner tonight. Watch your brother while were gone. Love Dad.'

Erica let out a sigh and took the note down before grabbing water from the fridge and going up to do her homework.

~the next morning~

Amu woke up on time to her arm clock. Ikuto hadn't visited her last night so she got to bed early.

"Amu-chan, you're up early." Su said floating over to said girl. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes I did, thank you Su." Amu said smiling at her green chara.

"Are you still thinking about what happened at the meeting yesterday?" she asked worried.

~Flashback~

"I have some troubling news." Tadase said standing up at the table. "Easter has a new agent, according to the former king. Unfortunately we do not know what he looks like or what his name is but if you see anyone with Ikuto or hunting down x-eggs contact everyone at once. We don't know what he is capable of so stay away from him until told different. All we do know is he is most definitely a boy."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

~End Flashback~

'I wonder if that guy from before is the same guy that I met when I was chasing Ikuto.' Amu thought to herself.

"Don't worry Amu-chan. I'm sure everything will work out in the end." Su said before floating to the window and closing it behind her as she went out for her morning 'walk'.

~At Erica's~

Erica woke up to something or someone jumping on her yelling at her to get up. "Come on Onee-chan! You promised to make me pancakes this morning and for a whole week!" Danny yelled continuing to jump on top of her.

"Alright! I'm up; would you get off of me so I can get up now?" Erica said slightly irritated now that she was woken so rudely from a good dream.

Danny ran down the stairs to the kitchen while Nala floated over to Erica rubbing the sleep from her eyes, "Erica-chan, why are you making him pancakes again?"

"Because he saw you and Amy yesterday, remember?"

~Flashback~

"Danny what are you pointing at, you know it's rude to point." Erica said to her brother acting as confused as if her chara were not in the room.

"That thing there, next to your head! It was cooking!" Danny said excitedly.

Erica looked at Amy blankly then at Nala who was on her other side then back at Danny. "I don't see anything. Are you making up stories again?" Erica was good at this having been in a play just two years ago. Nala and Amy caught onto her little act and started giggling while Erica ignored them.

"He thinks that she can see us." Nala giggled looking at Amy.

"I know, only kids can see us." Amy added before going back to giggling.

Erica started to inspect the kitchen to see if she could draw his attention away from the girls. But while she was looking away Danny came up to Amy and grabbed her quickly making Nala and Amy stop giggling and Erica to look back at her brother with a scared look on her face.

"Gotcha! Now show my Onee-chan your real!" Danny said holding her tightly in his hands.

"AHH! Erica –chan!" Amy cried as the pressure on her body increased.

"I see her, I see her! Let her go Danny, please!" Erica said her voice cracking at the please.

"Only if you promise to make me pancakes tomorrow!" Danny said still holding the struggling chara. His grip had loosened only slightly so he wasn't hurting Amy now.

"I'll make you pancakes for a week if you please just let her go." Worry in her voice. She felt as if a part of her was being taken away from her.

"Deal!" Danny said letting Amy go who flew faster than ever before to Erica, who held her to her face in relief.

~End Flashback~

"Oh, right. I don't think me and Amy should be left alone with him." Nala said looking over sadly at Amy's egg. She was still asleep because of how early it was.

"I think your right. I better go make him his pancakes before he comes up and jumps on me again.

Erica got dressed and ready and headed down stairs to make her brother breakfast. She headed to school with Amu and everything went well. No x-egg attacks for Amu and school was boring as always. They were now on their way home when Amu and Erica stopped when their heard the introduction from a talk show on a TV in a local store window.

"… here to sing his new hit single '3'!" the show host said as the camera turned to show a small band and a man with long purple hair that reached his butt, uncontrolled bangs and sea blue eyes. He wore a long black open jacket with a red shirt and chained black pants.
