Author's Notes: The plot from my summary starts from here. I just posted 1-3 because I really have to write those, and if I didn't, I swear I would feel so down. And by the way, Ikuto hasn't seen from Amu's cool and spicy aura yet. So, yeah, let's go on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara…

It's been four months since Amu and Ikuto are going out. Just like what Ikuto has promised, he slowly taught Amu about couple stuffs. They did what couples would normally do. And right now, they are at the park sitting under the tree. Amu was pretty cheerful right now, but she saw Ikuto on the opposite. She just decided to shrug it off and just continued staring at her boyfriend. Soon, Ikuto touched her hand.

"Amu, I… I have to tell you something." Ikuto told Amu with a serious tone of voice.

"What's wrong?" Amu asked worriedly.

"Well, we are moving to America." Ikuto answered back.

"Oh, don't forget to bring back souvenirs for me, okay?" Amu cheerfully answered.

"No, no, Amu. What I'm saying here is, my family and I are going to move to America. I don't know if we will ever come back again." Ikuto responded.

"Don't worry, Ikuto. What's the purpose of having cell phone and yahoo messenger(a/n: do not own)? We can always communicate." Amu comfortably answered.

"You're so immature Amu. Reality isn't like that. Although we love each other now, we might fall in love with somebody else since we are not near each other anymore. Sooner or later you will understand what I'm trying to say. That's why we should just put a closure on this relationship." Ikuto calmly answered.

"Ikuto… I see… I guess you're right. Don't worry, I understand. Have a safe trip, okay?" Amu softly answered trying to hide the fact that she's actually hurt.

"Thank you Amu. Thank you for not making this hard for me. See you later, strawberry-chan." Ikuto cheerfully answered.

"Goodbye, neko-chii! I love you." Amu replied with the same cheerfulness in her voice. Actually this is the first time she had told Ikuto that she loves him. After that being said, they both went on their separate ways. Amu went to her house and afterwards, to her bedroom. There, she let the tears flow from her eyes. She had been trying to stop herself from crying for about two hours anyway. She keep on thinking like it would really be so hard for her. She knows that she couldn't forget him easily. He is her first love, and at the same time, her first boyfriend.

Amu is now 15 years old and so far, she already has 7 ex boyfriends, excluding Ikuto Tsukiyomi. That gives you a total of 8, right? But right now, she is single. Utau and her dad, Kukai decided to go on a trip to America. Amu was left behind in Japan. Well, she didn't care. As long as she lives peacefully, it doesn't matter. But, life is not that easy. The plane her mom and dad took went out of control and hit the sea. Utau is one of the survivors but Kukai's situation remained unknown. His body wasn't found, so you can't actually say that he died. But where is he? There is a big possibility that he isn't that lucky. So Utau returned to Japan to tell her daughter everything. Amu cried so much after hearing the news, and so did her mother. Utau decided to go to America and continue her singing career.

3 years later, Utau went back to Japan. Amu is now 18 years old. Utau told Amu what America is like. She told Amu the good places in America, and many more. But afterwards, Utau announced something unexpected.

"Amu, is it alright if I marry again? You know, there are no evidences that your father is alive, and I need a companion." Utau asked her daughter nervously.

"Mom, if I say no, will you not marry?" Amu asked coldly.

"Amu, I'm sorry… But even if you say no, I'll still marry the guy I've known in America."

"Mom! Don't you love dad anymore?!" Amu angrily asked.

"I love your dad very much. Up until now, I can't forget him. His touch, his kiss, his hug, his everything! And perhaps you can say that Kukai is the only one for me! But… But… There are no signs of him! I really miss him so much!" Utau answered while crying.

"Mom, I can't say that I understand. But if you really want to marry this guy you are talking about, then marry him. I'm not opposing to this marriage but I'm not saying I'm gladly accepting it…" Amu answered coldly once again.

"I see… Well then Amu, I am going to marry in America, because I still have things to fix there. I'll be back again maybe after 3 to 4 months." Utau told her daughter.

"It doesn't matter. I hope you'll not regret this decision of yours." Amu told her mom, saying it in a way like her mom would really regret the decision.

"So, about the marriage… Don't forget our deal about it." Utau told the guy he was going to marry.

"Of course I wouldn't!" the guy answered back.(a/n: I know that there is no need for me to hide the identity of the guy because it is pretty obvious.)

Just like what Utau had promised, she had returned to Japan. She decided to surprise her daughter about the marriage but decided not to. Something hit her mind that Amu will hate this guy. But still, she has to introduce her 'husband' ne?

"Suu? Where's my daughter?" Utau asked their maid.

"Oh, good afternoon ma'am. She is upstairs." Suu politely replied.

"Please send her here. I want her to meet his new dad." Utau responded. But after saying those, Amu was already going downstairs. Looks like she didn't have to ask Suu to send her down.

"Amu… I would like you to meet your dad." Utau told her daughter.

"Mom, correction please… My stepdad." Amu coldly replied.

"But Amu! You should treat him as your dad! I'm not requesting you to treat him like how you treat Kukai, but still, you should learn to love him." Utau responded.

"I know mom. But it's not that easy. Well, I don't promise you, but I guess I'll give it a try. Now, where is he?" Amu asked in a curious manner. She is really curious anyway.

"Oh, Daichi! Assist my husband here." Utau commanded. (a/n: Daichi is the driver) Soon, Daichi went inside the house. Amu isn't really excited to meet her new dad, but curiosity is still there. Once her 'dad' has entered, her face is filled with shock, like she had seen a ghost…
