Heyo all you awesome peeps!

Thank you to Dwmalove, and Masked-Secret-Neko for reviewing! I was hoping I could get at least 10, but I didn't so…a little bummed about that, but let's hope I can get a total of 10 reviews this time alright? Ok! :D

Also I'd like you all to know that school is going to start soon for me, so I may not update every Friday anymore. So that is another reason I need you to review because I am a lazy bum, so if I don't know that you guys want to see more of this story I may not update a lot. So it's pretty much, reviews=more chapters!

Sorry I forgot to mention this, but Utau and Ikuto are not siblings in this story. I would like them to be, but it would just make it weird.

I hope you enjoy!

Flames are welcome.

Chapter 4

It is now the day the girls leave to go to the ranch.

Amu's POV

Urgh! Why do I have to go be 'reformed'?!

Yes, even after a week I was still freaking out about this whole thing. My parents just had to agree.

Ugh! I don't even know what I did wrong…no, no, no actually I did nothing wrong. Saaya just made up a preposterous story to get me kicked out of school. And thestupid teacher believed her! (A/N teachers are NOT stupid…though they can be annoying, giving us a mountain of homework…sometimes)

So now I'm basically getting exiled. I mean the ranch is outside of the city, and I'm being forced there against my will! Right now I actually wish that I went to one of those public schools. I bet they wouldn't do this instead the principal would probably just suspend me or something. That is soo much better than what I have to do now.

I grabbed my phone and checked the time, 1:00PM great…3 more hours until I'm forced to head to my doom. I need to go vent to Utau. So I dialed her number and tried to calm down while I waited for her to pick up.

'Ring ring'

"UTAU!"

"Ugh…what now?" Utau replied sounding very annoyed.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE FORCED TO GO TO SOME WASTELAND TO BE 'REFORMED' I MEAN WE DID NOTHING WRONG!" I shouted into the phone.

"Ugh, we're not going to a wasteland, we're going to a ranch, and I know right? Saaya should be the one going. She like did way more bad things than us."

"Yea…and our fans are going to miss us too…ARGH!"

"Let it out, let it all out." Utau said calmingly.

So the next few minutes were spent with me yelling into the phone at the top of my lungs while, I think Utau just held the phone away from her ear.

"*Sigh* I feel soo much better now!"

"Good."

"Oh, and I just realized now that Tsukiyomi-sensei just called us selfish and rude right to our faces I mean who does that?"

"Yeah that is soo mean!" Utau replied.

"So did you finish packing?" I asked.

"Yeah, I finished right when you called."

"Oh, I see."

"Hey…did you get yelled at like crazy by your parents when you got home?" Utau asked.

"Uhh…yeah, but they're okay with it now, but my dad's still bawling his eyes out in the bathroom saying he's gonna run away or something. Sheesh…you know sometimes I think he's more of a child than me. It still amazes me how he's one of the best at his job as a photographer."

"True, true" Utau replied.

"Well my dad is still grumpy about the whole thing. I bet if my mom were still here it would've been better." Utau said solemnly.

"Oh yeah…your mom died in a plane crash a few years ago right?"

"Yea…but I'm fine now!"

She doesn't sound fine I thought.

"Well, my mom just called me down for dinner, so I gotta go." I said in the phone.

"Oh, ok it's so cool how your mom still cooks for you guys when your maids could've done it."

"Really?"

"Yea…well bye." She blew a kiss into the phone before she disconnected.

Her mood seemed to have dropped when we talked about our mums. Perhaps she still hasn't completely gotten over her mom's death yet. So I decided to call Utau again like the good friend I am to make sure she's okay.

'Ring ring'

"Hello?"

"Utau."

"…"

"Are you okay?"

"…"

"You know your dad cares about you, and your mom is watching you from above in heaven right?" I said hoping I sounded sympathetic.

I didn't hear anything for a while until Utau started sniffling.

"*Sniff*, *sniff*"

"Are you crying?"

"No…I just have something in my nose."

"Yeah…sure."

"Seriously" Utau said.

"Utau it's ok to cry, now I know that you don't like it when people see or hear you cry, but it's ok."

I heard nothing for like 5 minutes until she said, "How would you know?" then I heard a beep which means she hung up.

I wasn't mad or anything because I knew she had her reasons, but I was a bit sad that I couldn't comfort her. I put my Chihuahua-Missy onto my lap a few seconds later and started to pet her thinking about stuff like when I needed to buy new makeup and what might happen at the ranch. I looked out the window and saw my cat perched on the windowsill also looking outside. It was pretty peaceful.

The 3 hours have passed, and I was now forced to wait outside by the gate with my family, and the maids who are practically part of our family for the limo to arrive.

Me and my mom managed (A/N I just noticed this…Alliteration power! Hehe) to pry my dad off the toilet seat cover, and drag him to the gate with everyone else. It took a lot of food, sweet words, and strength to get him out of the bathroom. I acted nothing like how I usually did. I think the stress is getting to me.

When the limo pulled up I reluctantly said goodbye to my family and everybody else. I took one of my suitcases that was bubblegum pink like my hair from my 10 year old sister, and my two other ones were handed to me by one of the maids. I snatched them out of her hands, and my mother sent me a glare, so I muttered a barely audible thank-you, and the maid blushed. I didn't know why, but I didn't really care.

I walked over to the limo where a chauffeur opened the door for me, and took my bags, and placed them in the trunk. I ducked inside the limo, and saw the rest of my friends, including Utau who looked fine now. The first thing I thought was that the trunk must've been huge. I think you know what I mean…

The trip was long and tiring. We got dropped off by the limo at Easter HQ where we met Aruto Tsukiyomi who is this 'Ikuto' person's dad, who is also the husband of our school principal.

He was the one who arranged almost everything for us. I hate to admit it, but he was pretty nice.

Anyways, he told us what his son looked like, so we would know who to look for. Apparently this 'Ikuto' guy looks sorta like Aruto (He told us to call him that because he didn't like being called formally). With midnight blue hair and the same color eyes.

Also Aruto said that Ikuto is a year older than us so he's a junior in highschool not sophomore. Then Aruto just kept blabbering on about how great his son is, and such. It made my ears bleed. After we met Aruto they made us board a private jet. It was so posh. (A/N isn't that a weird word?)

We flew for about 8 hours to who knows where, and then landed in a clearing somewhere near the ranch owned by Easter. When we got off the jet we were given a map of this place.

Then, we were shoved in a plain old minivan (which was soo not fancy by the way… it didn't even have a mini-fridge!) while they told us our stuff would be delivered to where we were staying.

We were then driven to the entrance of the ranch. In the note with all the information about our exile, it said that Ikuto and a teacher would be waiting for us at the entrance. So as any normal person would, I expected a grandwelcoming, (A/N no Amu, no normal person would expect that especially when you were sent there to be 'changed') but here's what happened:

"Oooo Yaya likes this commoners van, it's soo cool!"

"Seriously?" Rima said with a disbelieving look on her face.

"Yup" Yaya replied pooping the 'P'.

"It's so different than a limo!" Yaya said.

Lulu was about to say something when our driver said that we were there.

We just sat there waiting for him to open our doors for us, but he didn't. Instead he told us very rudely to, and I quote "Get out" I mean seriously? Me, Rima, Utau, Yaya, and Lulu sat there confused and not to mention stunned at his behavior while Akira just sighed and said, "You pull that handle like this," she pulled the handle, "and push against it so open the door." And she did exactly that.

"See? Not so hard." Then she stepped out and looked at us, telling us to try it ourselves. We did, and we succeeded. Yaya was jumping around crazily once we got out (it still amazes me how she can jump in heels) while Lulu defendedherself saying to Akira, "We know how to open a door!" (A/N I just had to add this door scene to sort of emphasize why Amu and her buddies had to go in the first place. That not everything will be done for you, but let's face it everybody should know how to open a door right? Other than babies, but this is fiction so whatever)

"Yeah, yeah sure…" Akira said while crossing her arms. I forgot that Akira used to be a commoner so she had to do these types of things herself.

"So where's this Tsukiyomi guy?" Rima asked. She can be very impatient.

"Dunno" Akira replied while shrugging.

Everyone was sort of standing in a little group while I was standing a little apart from them to look around. The place was well kept there was a dirt trail under awooden arch with the name of the ranch-Embryo Ranchwritten on it inwhite(A/N I know the name sounds bad, but it was all I could come up with :/) leading to what I guessed was the information center for people that came here for vacation. And the bushes, and flowers, and stuff were vibrant and green instead of brown and dead like I thought they would be. It was very nature-y.

"Yo" someone said from behind me. I turned and saw who I thought was the person in question. He was exactly like how his dad described him. When I saw him this is what I thought, 'I admit he looks kinda hot…oh who am I kidding he is hot, but I'm getting the vibe that he's gonna be an insolent jerk. Hmm…'

Anyways, so while I was thinking that I didn't realize that I was staring at him. Apparently he noticed, so he bent down (since he was like a head taller than me), and whispered in my ear "You gawking at me princess?" then he bit my ear, he f-ing bit my ear! I knew it, I knew it he is an insolent jerk. A self-centered pervert too!

That snapped me out of my thoughts, but before I could yell anything back he smirked and looked up and said, "So these are the trouble makers eh?"

Oooo I HATE him!

Extra-long chapter whoo!

You know I love ya! Thanks for reading :)
