A/N Caroline: *Still has rain cloud over her head*

Kayla: We need a bigger mop.

Me: *Sigh* I'm going to go ahead and start writing… I don't own Shugo Chara or Aladdin!

The Humpty Kingdom and the Dumpty Kingdom; the best of allies and the best of friends. The Humpty Lock; passed down to the next generation in the Humpty Kingdom Royals. The Dumpty Key; passed down to the next generation in the Dumpty Kingdom Royals. The Key unlocks the Lock, but only in love can they come together. Each generation the Royals of both Kingdoms hope that one day they will bear children of opposite genders so that they may fall in love and the Lock can be unlocked. That time finally arrived in the sixth generation of Royals. The Dumpty Kingdom had a Prince and the Humpty Kingdom had a Princess. But then disaster struck the Dumpty Kingdom leaving the entire Kingdom destroyed; no survivors. The Dumpty Kingdom had fallen and had taken the hope of bringing the Lock and Key together with it…

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place

Where the caravan camels roam

Where it's flat and immense

And the heat is intense

It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

When the wind's from the east

And the sun's from the west

And the sand in the glass is right

Come on down

Stop on by

Hop a carpet and fly

To another Arabian night

Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

More often than not

Are hotter than hot

In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights

'Neath Arabian moons

A fool off his guard

Could fall and fall hard

Out there on the dunes

A man about in his late 20s waited on a horse in the desert. He had short blonde hair with dull red eyes. He wore a dark red robe with black linings. Beside his shoulder floated his pet chara, Kiseki. Almost everyone in the Humpty Kingdom had a chara, he was no exception. Kiseki was a king-like chara crown and all, "He's late," Kiseki said very annoyed.

"Calm yourself Kiseki," the man said, "He will be here, if he knows what's good for him that is."

"You better be right Tadase," Kiseki said.

Suddenly, another horse rode up and a beggar looking man appeared, "Sorry I'm late," he said.

"Never mind that," Tadase said, "Do you have it?"

"I had to slice a few throats…" the man said reaching into his pocket pulling out the top part of what looked to be a chara egg, "But I got it; the top part of the Embryo."

Tadase's eyes brightened and went to grab it, but the beggar pulled it back, "Ah, ah, ah," he said, "Payment."

Kiseki snatched the top of the Embryo out of the man's hands and handed it to Tadase, "Don't get ahead of yourself," Tadase said and pulled out the bottom half of the egg that he had, "You'll get your payment as soon as these two are brought together…" as he said together he connected the two pieces.

The Embryo began to glow and float away, "Follow it!" Tadase yelled and snapped his rains making the horse run fast along with the man while Kiseki sat on Tadase's shoulder holding on so he didn't fall off.

The Embryo suddenly stopped and hovered over a sand dune which slowly grew into a lion's face and Tadase and the beggar made a sudden stop, "The Cave of Wonders…" Tadase said his eyes sparkling, "Well," he said turning to the beggar, "Go on, this is your payment. You can have whatever is inside, but you bring me the lamp inside; the lamp is mine."

The beggar got off his horse and headed for the lion shaped caved. As he got closer the sand cave began to talk, "Who dares disturb my slumber?" it said deeply…it even echoed a bit.

"U-uh," the beggar said, "It is I, Maruyama Haruki."

The cave looked at him, "Hmm, you may enter, but know this only one may enter…The Diamond in the Ruff. He's the only one who may enter."

Haruki looked at Tadase silently asking him what to do next, "Well, go on then," Tadase said.

Haruki gulp and slowly walked up to the cave and looked in the entrance that was its mouth. Haruki could hear the cave breathing which only made him more nervous. He gulped again and slowly put one foot on the step. When nothing happened he sighed with relief, but then the cave suddenly screamed and collapsed on Haruki burring him alive, "No!" Tadase yelled.

The Embryo broke up into two separate parts once again, "Only the Diamond in the Ruff may enter…" the cave's voice echoed, "The Diamond in the Ruff…Diamond in the Ruff…"

"Well, that went splendid!" Kiseki yelled and grabbed the broken Embryo and handed them both to his owner, "Now what!"

"Calm down Kiseki," Tadase said and placed both pieces of the Embryo in his robe, "We will have that lamp. All we have to do is find this…Diamond in the Ruff."

"Oh, and that will be as easy as finding the Embryo…oh wait, THAT TOOK US 15 YEARS!" Kiseki yelled fire surrounding him.

"Hmm, your right," Tadase said, "And we can't do what we did to the Dumpty Kingdom…I'll figure out something. For now we better head back to the palace before King Tsumugu wakes up and finds us missing. We are to be there as he interviews a possible husband for Princess Amu."

"Right…" Kiseki said, "But that king is so picky and those he does approve of are scared off by that princess'…what do people call it again?"

"Cool and Spicy Attitude," Tadase said, "Now let's go."

Kiseki sighed, but once again sat on his owner's shoulder and Tadase rode off towards the palace.

~The Next Morning at the Palace

King Tsumugu sat on his throne looking dejected. His daughter, Princess Amu, was turning 18 soon and would have to wed or the Kingdom would go into a state of panic, but ever since his wife, Queen Midori, died he wanted his daughter to marry like he and Midori did, for love. But she holds the Humpty Lock and as legend says she is destined to fall in love with the Prince of the Dumpty Kingdom, who holds the Dumpty Key, the pair to the Lock. Unfortunately, he died along with the rest of the Dumpty Kingdom. Now Tsumugu fears he will have to force marriage on his daughter and that was the last thing he wanted to do. But he knew he would if it came down to it.

~Somewhere outside the Palace

"Ikuto~ nya!" a cat like blue chara yelled trying to get the attention of his owner.

The boy was about 18 years old, had dark blue navy hair and eyes. He wore a torn up black shirt and pants and no shoes. The boy, Ikuto, looked at his chara, "What is it Yoru?" he asked him.

"Can we get breakfast yet? I'm hungry~ nya!" the cat chara yelled.

Ikuto smirked, "In a little while Yoru…" he said looking out a hole in the building that was his only window, "It wouldn't be fun if the guards weren't out now would it?"

Yoru sighed. Ikuto and Yoru were poor people who had no money, nowhere to stay, and no family. Ikuto reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden key with a silver flower like shape on top. This is the only proof Ikuto had that he once had a family. He doesn't exactly remember how he got this key; all he knows is that he's always had it.

A/N Me: That should be a good stopping point…

Caroline: Can I go yet!

Me: NO! We just started.

Caroline: I hate you…

Me: uh huh

Kayla and Chelsea: R&R please!
