Me: YAY! Chapter 2! WOO HOO!
Natsume: What are you so happy about?
Me: Chapter 2 duh. And I have a surprize
Mikan: What surprize Blizzy-chan?
Me: You have to read to find out Mikan. But I know you're gonna love it!
Natsume: Whatever just don't make us do anything out of character
Me: Why?
Ikuto: Because you don't own Gakuen Alice OR Shugo Chara so you can't make us do anything we will regret.
Me: Oh yeah? Well I own this plot so I could make you do anything I want!
Amu: I have a bad feeling about this . . .
The Guardians meet the Gang
Chapter 2: Neighbors
"EH?!" Amu yelled "You can't be Citrine Skater! I mean she's . . . and you . . . and, and, you can do a character transformation?"
"Well duh, I can do a character transformation girly." Mikan giggled while putting her arm around Amu "I'm the Tattoo of the gang. I can do all sorts of things."
"Tattoo?" Amu repeated
"I'm like a trump card."
"You mean like me?"
"You're a card?"
Everyone fell down anime style while Mikan released Amu from her grasp. She looked at the pink haired girl from top to bottom. Amu was still in her high school uniform (wearing it in her style of course.)
"So . . ." Mikan began
'Great, she's probably gonna say I'm cool and spicy like everyone else. I just want to be my would-be self.'
"You're a fraud" she frowned
"WHAT?!" Amu was completely outraged. Never in her life had someone called her the 'cool and spicy' Hinamori Amu a fraud.
"You don't dress at all like your character. I mean punk! My motto is dress how you act. If you dress punk you act punk but that's not your character. You are a sporty happy-go-lucky, cook, with a great sense of style, so why don't you act it? Seriously I have never seen anyone so fake, I don't dress how I act because of this stupid dress code but you have no excuse! Hotaru, Haro, you two should be more outraged than me!" She yelled turning to the financial advisor and the interrogator only to realize they could care less. "Hehe, never mind." (She was thinking of their would-be selves)
"How come you knew my character?"
"I told you I'm the Tattoo; I can do all sorts of things. So what's your name girly?"
"Hinamori Amu. And this is Hotari Tadase, Fujisaki Nadeshiko, Yuiki Yaya, and Tsukiyomi Ikuto." She said pointing to the others
"I only asked for your name." A sunflower clip appeared on her head and a skateboard popped out of nowhere. "I'll see ya around girly" she said retreating back to the school.
"Why is she calling me girly? That's so not my character." Amu said crossing her arms in front of her chest while pouting.
"She's calling you girly because that IS your character." Natsume said calmly walking to school with the rest of the gang following. Narumi and the Guardians decided to follow them as well.
There was no school that day (for some random reason that I'm too lazy to type) everyone was off minding their own business. Amu, Kukai, and Ikuto were dubbed special stars because they can do character transformations but if they were to let their grades slip then their star rank will be lowered. The rest of the Guardians were three stars.
Amu was on the 8th floor of the special star dorm (room 823) and Kukai was on the 5th floor (room 532) and Ikuto was on the 10th floor (room 1012)
Amu's Room
"Who does that Tattoo girl think she is?" Amu complained to her Charas "Judging my character, calling me girly, does she have any respect for the Joker?"
"Not if you keep complaining girly" a voice said. Amu turned around to see Mikan in her doorway. She wasn't wearing her uniform anymore. Instead she wore a Wild Cats baseball jersey with a matching baseball cap. Baggy blue jeans and white Nike sneakers.
"What do you want?" Amu said seriously not liking Mikan right now.
"Well I couldn't help but notice I have a noisy neighbor." She said walking up to Amu "Wanna go to Central Town?"
"Huh? You mean that shopping place sensei told us about?"
"Yea, I'm running low on my Howalon stock (tomboy or not Mikan loves her Howalon), and I was going to get Hotaru anyway so . . ."
"Um, sure I'll go. But I don't have that much money."
"Don't sweat I'll pay. We'll get you some clothes while we're at it."
"Clothes?"
"Don't think I'm going to let you off that easy. You are going to dress how you act and you're not going to dress like a punk. Are we clear?"
"HEY! You can't just-"
"Are those your charas?" Mikan asked interrupting Amu's rant.
"Um, yeah. Mikan-chan this is Ran, Mikki, and Su. Ran, Mikki, Su, this is Mikan." the pink haired girl introduced her charas
"It's a pleasure to meet you-su. I'm hoping we can be good friends-su." obviously it was Su who said this.
"Mikan-chan, are you a cross dresser?" an excited Ran asked.
"Hey! Don't diss Mikan like that!" an unknown voice yelled. Everyone was looking to see who said that.
"Sigh, come on Kyan. I know you're there." Mikan called out to the bed.
'She named my bed?' Amu thought confused.
Coming out from under Amu's bed a chara comes floating to Mikan. It had orange hair cut boy style along with blue sky eyes. It had on a skull shirt and green cargo pants. "Hi I'm Kyan, Mikan's chara. And before you say anything, I'm a girl."
Everyone's (except Mikan's) jaw dropped straight to the floor.
"M-Mikan, what exactly is your would-be self?" Amu asked afraid of the answer.
"Tomboy." she causally replied. "Anyway gather the other girls in your group and we can go to Central Town kay girly?"
"Sure" At Amu reply Mikan walked out of her room.
'Wait.' Amu thought 'DID SHE SAY NEIGHBOR?!'
Kukai's Room
"Woah! This place is huge!" The Jack said throwing his luggage on the king-sized bed. He made his way to the kitchen and found the refrigerator fully stocked. Then he made his way to the living room and laid down on the couch and looked at the flat screen TV. "I could get used to this. How about you Daichi?" Kukai asked his faithful companion.
"You bet!" he agreed
KNOCK KNOCK
"I wonder who that is." Kukai said getting up. Behind this door was a blond boy. No, not his best friend Tadase but Ruka.
"Oi. What are you doing here Nogi?" he asked
"I just wanted to give you a welcome present" Ruka said and handed him a box "This should come in handy for class. If you have any questions just give me a call I'm right next door."
"Oh thanks. Before I forget this is my chara Daichi.
"What's up?" the mini soccer player saluted
"Oh, we forgot to introduce our charas huh. Well this is Yajuu." Out from behind Ruka came a chara with neon green hair and coal black eyes. He had a blue T-Shirt with white shorts.
"Nice to meet ya!" Yajuu smiled
"Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the gift Nogi. I'll be seeing you."
"You to Souma-kun"
Ikuto's Room
I shouldn't say Ikuto's room because Ikuto was wondering in the halls. He spotted an open door (Curiosity killed the cat Ikuto) and walked in (You should have listened). It was a regular room but it had sort of a black and red theme.
There was a work desk; it had school books and a lamp on it. But something else was there. It was and orange stone shaped like a heart. Ikuto was told about those, they were apparently alice stones. A fragment of someone's alice in stone form. The color depended on the creator and alice. The bigger the stone, the more powerful that person was. And if they were able to make it a certain shape then they were beyond powerful. He also heard that if people were to trade alice stones then they're meant to be together.
He saw one more thing on the desk. It was a picture of a girl and a boy they must have been tired because they were sleeping back to back under a Sakura Tree. The girl was in brown pigtails and looked around 5 the boy looked at had messy raven hair and looked at least one year older.
"What are you doing here?" a cold voice asked. (And now the cat is dead)
"You really shouldn't leave your door open Hyuuga. A cat might get in." Ikuto said shaking off his shock
"Well if the cat does get in then curiosity will kill it." Natsume replied (Me: But the cat's already dead! Natsume: Just shut up will you)
"Whose stone is this Hyuuga?" Ikuto asked 'Who ever made this is probably the holder of the embryo'
"It's Mikan's"
"Why do you have it?"
"Is it illegal for me to have my girlfriend's alice stone?"
'Girlfriend huh?'
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard something hit the ground.
Ikuto saw his chara under Natsume's foot. "What did you do to Yoru?" He asked like he didn't give a damn.
"Yoru? I thought it was a rat." he said taking his foot off the little cat
"RAT! I AM NOT A RAT YOU BAFOON! I'M A CAT, CAT!" Yoru yelled getting up.
"Stop your whining will ya" Natsume and his chara said a once.
"Who are you?" Yoru said addressing Natsume's chara who had Flaming red hair and golden eyes with an orange T-shirt and black shorts.
"The name's Koushisei. Now get out before more harm is done." The chara said bitterly
Taking his word for it the cats (minus Natsume) left the room.
"Damn it." Natsume said when he realized where Ikuto's room was "I have a nosy neighbor."
Central Town Bus Stop
Amu arrived with Nadeshiko and Yaya. Amu was wearing a pink and black striped hoodie and an arachnophobia skirt with black belted boots with a 4 inch heel. Nadeshiko wore a yellow primrose wrap cardigan with apple bottom jeans and blue summer sandals. Finally, Yaya had on a white crop top with a denim jacket, denim shorts, and white tennis shoes. (Who knew Yaya could wear something so revealing)
Mikan, Hotaru, and Haro were already sitting on the bench when they arrived. The three's (plus their chara's) eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw what the other girls were wearing. First up was Mikan in a Ginger and Java pink silk graphic print slip dress, white knee high boots, pink pearl necklace, the pink earrings she wore in the first chapter, her hair was down and had a pink heart hair clip. Next was Hotaru in a magenta Nanette Lepore Hollywood wrap blouse, black jeans, gold hoop earrings, silver high heels, and her shoulder length hair was put in a small ponytail. Last but not least Haro had on a black Asian flower cami, Great China Wall Mini Skirt, black tennis shoes, a Tapestry Ribbon Rope Necklace, and her hair was in two low pigtails.
"Yo!" Mikan greeted not getting up from the bench
"HOLD UP ONE MINUTE!" Amu yelled
"What's wrong girly? And didn't I tell you to dress your character?"
"I thought you were a tomboy!"
"I am"
"Then why are you wearing THAT?"
". . ."
"Here's the bus." Hotaru and Nadeshiko said in harmony.
Central Town
"Haro, Hotaru, I'm going to the Howalon store. You know what to do."
'You know what to do?' the Guardian Girls thought. Mikan was out of sight and it was just Amu, Nadeshiko, Yaya, Hotaru, and Haro.
"Well . . . me and Haipa are just gonna go kick it somewhere." Haro said trying to make her statement convenient. Then she ran faster than the speed of light
"Who's Haipa?" Nadeshiko asked Hotaru.
"Haro's chara. And here's my chara, Beppin" sitting on Hotaru's shoulder was a chara with light pink hair put up in a French Twist with light purple eyes. She had a knee high scarlet red circle skirt with white vines on the bottom and hem with a butterfly halter top.
"She's so pretty!" Yaya yelled out making her chara jealous "What's your character change?"
"None of your business." Hotaru stated coldly.
"Hotaru-chan" Beppin said with sad eyes "Why don't you like my character change?"
"Because it's useless in my field of work. Now let's go." (What she means is it doesn't help her invent anything) Hotaru walked them all the way to the pinkest, frilliest, grisliest, store in Central Town.
Amu stared at the store with wide eyes 'everything's so cute and pink. But I can't get anything because it will ruin my 'cool and spicy' image.'
'What image? You're new here. Nobody knows you. You can start again as your would-be self' a familiar voice said inside Amu's head.
'Who is this?'
'That doesn't matter. What does matter is that you become your would-be self. If you loose hope you'll loose your charas as well. They may be annoying at times but deep down you know you love them and if they leave you can say bye-bye to the would-be Amu.'
'But-'
'NO buts. You can start anew. You maybe nervous about coming to a new school but you don't want to repeat the same mistakes twice right? Come on Amu have some fun! Make your charas proud!'
The voice DID have a point. It was being nervous that got her into this mess in the first place.
'Listen I know I said dress how you act (mystery solved) but it could be you just like dressing like that. But even you said that it would be nice wearing something pink and frilly once in a while. Well, here's your chance Amu.'
'W-Wait you're . . .'
"Hey Hinamori, you coming in or not?" Hotaru said bringing Amu back to the world of the living.
"Hai!" she smiled and ran in the store to join her friends in the shopping galore.
Coming out of the shadows a smiling Mikan could be seen "Have fun girly" she giggled then walked off to join Haro in sports shopping.
(Okay here's the way it went if you don't get it. Mikan told Hotaru to go shopping with Amu and the others in Fashion Boutique, the most girlish store out there so Amu could get some clothes. Hotaru emotionlessly agreed even though deep down she was happy to be visiting her favorite store (but she thought Mikan didn't know it was her favorite). When the truth was she did. So basically Mikan hit two birds with one stone. Then Haro wanted to go shopping because she was going to try out for several sports teams and Mikan happily agreed to accompany her. But Haro didn't want to drag people who most likely wouldn't want to come (like Hotaru, Amu, Nadeshiko, and Yaya). So Mikan made a plan to send Hotaru and the others to the girly store while Mikan and Haro go do their thing. But Mikan wanted to make sure Amu would enjoy herself so she read Amu's mind (which is how she found out about the 'cool and spicy' thing) and telepathically told her to be her fucking self already! Did you get that?)
Me: Did you get the surprise? NATSUME AND MIKAN ARE A COUPLE
Mikan: WHAT?! That's your surprise? I'M THE GIRLFRIEND OF A PERVERT!
Me: Come on Mikan you know you love him.
Mikan: I do not!
Me: Then how come you're wearing a shirt that says 'I love Natsume Hyuuga'?
Mikan: It was on sale
Me: -rolls eyes- rrrrrrriiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhtttttt
Natsume: I have to admit that wasn't half bad Blizz
Me: YAY! I got a complament from Natsume! It's probably because you finally have Mikan. Where did Blizz come from?
Natsume: First this has nothing to do with Polka being my girlfriend. Second there's no way in hell I'm calling you Blizzy-chan
Nadeshiko: ENOUGH TALK! REVEIW! REVEIW!
Me: Great, Nadeshiko did a character change. Please reveiw before she kills someone
