Yoru: Flying Pirates does not own Shugo Chara ~nya!

I was squatting awkwardly on my rock hard bed, staring at the small purple egg.

It was decorated in black swirls and it seemed like a small dragon was flying in the background.

'Colored eggs…but…but…how many days is it until Easter?? How many months is that?!!' I was rapidly counting the days and months in my head when I lost my balance, and bumped the egg slightly. When the egg touched my skin, it left a warm feeling up my arm.

"It's…it's…warm." I said aloud. I picked the egg up gently. Suddenly, I had this motherly instinct to keep it safe. Whether it be a bird, snake, or whatever the heck it was; I knew I had to take care of it.

I gently set it down on the bed sheet again, and sprinted to the other side of the room. I found a fluffy pink sweater of mine, and an over sized hand bag. I ran back to the bed and wrapped the egg in the sweater, and very carefully, placed the sweater in the bag.

I went down stairs, shaking from the random encounter, grabbed a pop-tart, and headed out the door to school.

AT SCHOOL

I was at my desk, taking notes, when I looked up at Tadase-kun, who was smiling very…forcibly at me. I looked over to Amu's desk for some help (and maybe some explanation to why Tadase-kun was acting so weird), but, to my surprise, she was no-where to be found. Rima wasn't at her desk either. Ugh…my last resort.

"Um…Tadase-kun?" This was the first time I had said anything to him since…

"Why are you staring at me? Do you mind?"

Ergh, I reminded myself of that again.

"Yes Nakamura Suki?" He said in the sweetest voice, and if I wasn't still looking at his forced smile, I would have thought it was sincere.

"Well…where is Amu-chan and Rima-chan?" He tensed a bit.

"Um, things have come up, and a Guardian meeting was to be held first period." His words sounded rehearsed.

"But…Tadase-kun, why aren't you at the meeting? You are a guardian after all." I twirled my ruby hair trying not to meet his pinkish red eyes.

He opened his mouth to respond when Amu and Rima-chan walked through the classroom door. Amu smiled at Tadase and me.

"Sensei?" Rima asked politely.

"We would like to take Tadase-kun and Suki-chan out of class for a bit." Amu finished Rima's sentence.

Everyone in the class (excluding Rima-chan, Amu, Tadase-kun, and me) went wide eyed. When mutters started overflowing the room, Tadase-kun took my hand, and led me out of the classroom.

His hands were so warm, and soft…it was like… having a pizza box on your lap in the car on a cold day, but you can't eat any because you'd get in trouble with your parents. Yes, that was exactly it.

I was blushing, I could tell, because my face was getting hot. Tadase-kun smiled at me, this time it wasn't forced, and I could see from the corner of my eyes, Amu-chan, staring deeply at me. She looked…scary.

AT THE ROYAL GARDEN

"Oh my…" My eyes were as wide as a puppy's when I stepped foot into the royal garden. It was so beautiful! There were plants everywhere (hence why it is called a garden) the ceiling was made if elegant glass, and even the atmosphere was breath-taking. God, I feel like such the ugly duckling right now.

Tadase-kun lead me over to a table, where two people sat. One was a small girl with big brown eyes and orange pig tails. Her head was cocked to the side like a confused puppy. The other was a sweet looking boy, with extremely long blue hair.

"Oh!" I yelled aloud. "This is…Yaya-chan!" I said pointing to the girl "and this must be Nagihiko-kun!" Whoops. Well, I guess I have every right to be excited. It's not every day I remember people's names. Yaya smiled big.

"Yes! And you must be Suki!" Even though she wasn't very polite in saying my name, she reminded me a lot of my sister when she was younger, so I didn't really mind. Nagihiko cleared his throat.

"Hello Suki-chan, please sit." His voice was very tender and smooth, and his eyes matched. I sat reluctantly down in one of the seats and looked around. Amu looked at me.

"Suki-chan, we know about your egg."

LATER

"So…" I placed my hand on my bag where my egg laid safely. "It'll hatch?"

"Yes," Amu said. "They'll be little people, in a way. We just wanted to warn you before she hatched, so you wouldn't be alarmed. Right now, you can't see them, but everyone in this room except for you and Nagihiko has an already hatched a shugo egg." I nodded my head. This was all so much to take in just one day. And it hit me.

"Wait! Why doesn't Nagihiko have one?" Nagihiko stiffened a bit, and looked down in a very ashamed way.

"His egg didn't hatch yet, like yours." Tadase-kun said the words so openly, but it seemed like there was more to it. Like…they were hiding something. Amu stood from her chair.

"Suki-chan, we want you to be in the Guardians."

NEXT DAY (SATURDAY)

I lay limp on my bed covers, my egg (still wrapped in my sweater) was heavy on my stomach.

"Ugh!" I moaned and put my pillow over my face.

'What am I going to do?' I thought. Just then, the phone rang.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hi Suki, It's me, Hinamori Amu. Would you like to go shopping with the Guardians today?" What? I never gave them an answer, am I now in the Guardians? But what if I don't want to be! Gah!

"Um, Amu, no offense, but I didn't really give you an answer, so I'm not really in the Guardians."

"Yeah, but you'll say yes eventually." I could hear the smile in her voice. I sighed.

"Okay, yeah, sure."

AT THE STORE

"So are you a Guardian now?" Yaya-chan was at my side. She has been asked me that same question about fifty times and we've only been out for ten minutes.

"I don't really know yet…" I sighed. I really wanted to be in the guardians, but knowing the kids at our school, I'd be the topic of the month. I hate being talked about.

Suddenly, in the distance, and tall-ish, red haired, green eyed boy appeared. He was walking right towards us, smiling.

"Hey guys!" He walked right up to Amu and clocked her on the head. Um…is that alright for him to do??

"Hey Kukai!" Yaya ran to the boy's side and hugged him.

"You don't come to play anymore," she pouted.

"Sorry Yaya," he caught my gaze and walked over to me.

"Who's the pip-squeak?" He ruffled my hair playfully. He was really cute, and I wanted to joke back, but I didn't really even know him.

"This is Nakamura Suki," Amu said. She turned towards me. "Suki, this is Kukai, the old Jack chair."

"Oh!" I was surprised. "So he was before Nagihiko?"

"Actually, I was before Kairi," Kukai said. Kairi?

"Kairi?" I said aloud.

"He was the class president, but he decided to go back home to his school and old friends. He said he's come back when…" Amu drifted off. She looked a bit flustered. More secrets?

Nagihiko leaned in towards me, "I'll tell you later," he whispered in my ear. Weird…why wouldn't Amu just say it?

"So pip-squeak…" Kukai picked me up. "Off to the candy shop!" He started running in hyper speed with me laying in his arms bridal style. The entire 'ride' I was screaming. How could he run to fast?!

Typical. I hated going fast, whether it be in a car, on a rollercoaster, whatever. And even though I absolutely hate it, I didn't speak up and tell Kukai to put me down. I'll always be the shy damsel…

'Then change!' I yelped at the voice. Kukai didn't seem to notice it, he just kept running.

'From a shy damsel in distress, to a fire breathing dragon!' What?! All of a sudden, I clocked Kukai on the head. Hard.

"Put me down you bumbling idiot! I have legs! I can walk you know!" I went back to my normal self and covered my mouth in surprise. Did I say that? Kukai put me down carefully and stared at me with eyes the size of baseballs. Then, very unexpectedly, he started laughing.

"Guys! Come here!" He gestured towards the rest of the Guardians who were trailing behind. I don't think they saw my moment of insanity.

"Suki just had her first chara-change!" He yelled across the road and rustled my hair. Oh yeah, a chara change. Amu told me about those. They over whelm what you would normally do according to what the chara who over took you is like. So…what? My chara is a scary psychopath?!

All of a sudden, a small little person appeared before me. She had long curly black hair pulled up in a ponytail, and daring dark purple eyes. She wore a black dress, which was tight on her waist, until it reached her hips, where it branched off into a pile of jumbled fishnet and lacey black fabric. Her tiny little feet were wrapped up in silky black ballet slippers, with ribbons that where wrapped around her miniature legs. And her most distinctive feature, where two, large, midnight black wings that stuck out of her tiny back, on either side of her slightly visible spine. She winked at me.

"Oy!" She made a peace sign with her tiny fingers and held them up around her eyes. "I'm Tsukiko! Your guardian chara!" She winked again. I stood there in complete shock, frozen, like a statue. Amu and the others finally caught up to us. They all caught sight of Tsukiko immediately, and when they did, they just stared at her…kind of like what I'm doing.

Suddenly, three little figures peeked their heads out behind Amu's back. When they saw Tsukiko, they flew over to her so quick, if I blinked, I would have missed it.

"So, what's your name, desu," the little blonde one asked sweetly. She wore a tiny white and green dress, and a white hat with a clover on it. She had similar shoes to Tsukiko. The one with blue hair, a tote bag, and a cute limp hat was gawking at Tsukiko.

"Your style is so unique! Your style is just gushing with artistic ability!" she exclaimed.

"Do you like to play sports? Soccer is my favorite!" Another little girl starting circling Tsukiko. She had pink hair in a ponytail, and wore a tiny pink dress, tennis shoes, and a cherry visor.

"Ran! Miki! Su!" The little girls looked towards Amu. "Stop swarming her," she said, and gestured for the charas to come to her. They waved to Tsukiko and flew back to Amu.

"Sorry about that. They get a little excited when they meet new charas." She rubbed her head and smiled. "This is Ran," she gestured towards the pink one. "This is Miki," she gestured towards the blue one. "And," the green one waved to me. "This is Su."

Then, four other charas came charging in.

"Eh?!" was all I could say.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

After I was introduced to all of the charas, they ran off in a hurry to play with Tsukiko. I sighed. They were like little children. I smiled.

"Now," Rima and Yaya took my hands. "Time to shop!" And with a tornado of wind, and running legs so fast they were just a blur, we were off.

When we stopped running, I shook my head. Gosh, why does everyone think I'm incapable of walking? What store is this anyway? I looked around and all I could see for (it seemed like miles) were dresses.

"Ahhh!!!!" I screamed and ran towards the door, but waiting for me there, was Yaya and Rima. I backed up slowly.

"You can't make me try on dresses!" I screeched. Yaya smiled.

"You wanna bet?" Then, she took me into a dressing room and handed me a pink dress, with white frills and a huge bow in the back.

"Oh no," I handed her the dress "I am not wearing this." And suddenly, she whipped out a pair of puppy dog eyes. Ah! She's so cute! No! I must resist…I looked at her and she looked like she was going to cry. I sighed.

"Alright!" I snatched the dress. "I'll do it….but I'm not going to like it!" I slammed the door. I undressed and slipped the gown over my head. It was pretty, I have to admit. And it fit me perfectly. I walked out of the changing room. Yaya and Rima exploded.

"OH MY GOSH IT LOOKS SO CUTE!"

"SO KAWAII!"

"OH WE NEED TO GET IT!"

"OF COURSE!" And with that, Rima handed the cashier the amount for the dress and sat down. "Now hurry up and get changed! We're going to meet everyone back up at the fountain at two, and it's 1:43!"

Oh jeez! I need to hurry! I flipped the dress over my head and started getting changed back into my normal clothes. Even though I hate when people buy me stuff (it makes me feel rude) I think I would have seemed even ruder to them if I hadn't let them buy it for me. Plus, it was cute.

I stepped out of the changing room with the dress, and we headed out the door.

Kaitlyn: -sighs- That was one long chapter!

Mira: And the shopping trip isn't even over yet!

Yaya: Yay! Shopping is so much fun!

Amu: -sigh- No it isn't.

Tadase: I think its fun when you are with me. –cute face-

Amu: -uber blushing-

Kukai: Where'd Suki go?

Rima: She's trying on more dresses. Just wait until you see her in the one we bought for her today –snickers-

Kukai: But…but!

Ikuto: Too late little boy, I already saw her in it. Those changing rooms are so easy to get into. (lying) –laughs inside head-

Kukai: YOU! –chases Ikuto-

Suki: Wait…what is going on?! I leave you alone for ONE minute…(ranting continues)

Tadase: Please review! –wink-

Fan girls: -faint-

Amu: It wasn't that cute…(in mind…OMG!! HE'S SOOOO CUTE! MY PRINCE IS ADORABLE!! KAWAII!!!!!!) –tries to keep cool-
