Me: 3rd Chapter done! :)
Kashino: Finally I get a say in here, you seem to be updating faster then you had for Mune Kyun.
Me: Truth, I like this story better than Mune Kyun.
Kashino: I can see that. Well I must admit, it IS better than Mune Kyun...
Me: Yay! Finally a compliment!
Kashino: Don't get over excited...
Me: I do not own Shugo Chara or Yumeiro Patissiere!
Yumeiro Chara Doki-Doki!
Chapter 3: The One Who Couldn't Character Transform
Kashino ran to Ichigo and Amu, because of Ichigo's 'Ichigo Dimension' he had been pushed away and unable to enter the dimension. "Amano, Hinamori..." Breathing heavily he ran to the girls. Their eyes were sparkling and they had permanent smiles. Why couldn't he feel the way they could?
"Ah Kashino," Amu looked at the blond-haired boy, her 'permanent' smile folded into a frown, "Why didn't you transform with us? We could have used your help."
"I..." Kashino didn't feel like admitting to a girl with pink hair that he couldn't.
"He can't Amu," Ichigo replied sympathetically.
"So your one of those people that can only character change, am I right?" Amu raised her eyebrows.
"Character change, what's a character change?" Kashino asked.
"Amu-chan," Ran cut in, "Sweets spirits can't chara change."
"Oh," Amu crossed her arms, "try my humpty lock." She took off her lock necklace and gave it to Kashino. Her lips were twitching, "I want to see your character transformation." Kashino's face heated; NO way was he going to wear a necklace. Amu seemed to read his thoughts, she chuckled softly, "You don't have to wear the necklace, just hold it your hand. Focus all your thoughts on your sweets spirit and Chocolat will focus all her thoughts on you. The lock will do the rest."
Kashino closed his eyes, Chocolat... Is... Uh... Very Smart... About chocolate! He couldn't really think of anything else, he didn't have a close enough bond with her. Kashino didn't feel he could rely on her, or even trust her with secrets.
Amu didn't feel satisfied with this, "You're going to character transform. I know it," she looked at Ichigo, "you guys have school now right?"
Ichigo nodded and glanced at Kashino, "Well yes." She seemed uncomfortable with the situation. In her mind Ichigo felt awkward; for once she could do something Kashino couldn't. She wasn't used to it and she felt well... Good inside.
"Okay then," Amu smiled, "I'll see you guys after school." She ran away.
Doki! ~
Team Ichigo were in the school kitchen for cooking class, today they had free practise. Ichigo poured her batter slowly, still thinking of the shadow figure Chocolat had seen. Who was it, and why did they want to corrupt people's dreams?
"Ichigo-chan," Hanabusa looked at the glum faced brunette, "is something wrong?"
She looked up from the tart cream she had been whipping, "No, nothing's the matter Hanabusa-kun..."
Suddenly Vanilla whispered something into Ichigo's ear, "Ichigo, I think I'm sensing a corrupted dream."
Hanabusa watched her eyes widen, she looked around the room. She whispered back to Vanilla, he was sure he heard the words, "Tell Kashino."
"Sensei!" Ichigo yelled at the teacher, "Can I use the restroom?"
Kashino smacked his hand down on the table, "Me as well?"
Their teacher gave them a strange look but let them leave. "What do you think is going on with them," Hanabusa asked Andou.
"I'm not sure; you don't think something is wrong do you?"
"I'm going to go find out," Hanabusa replied, putting down his candy rose, "Sensei!"
"Yes Hanabusa-san?"
"Can I go to get more, flour?"
The teacher's eyes turned to slits, "There's a bag of flour over there Hanabusa-san."
"Then can I..." He flipped his green hair, "go to the restroom?"
"Amano-san and Kashino-san are already out," the teacher stated firmly.
This calls for tactics, Hanabusa thought. "But sensei..." he squirmed just a bit for affect, "it's an emergency."
The teacher's face looked awkwardly shocked for a moment; she sighed and said, "Fine, go."
Hanabusa ran out the door, taking off his chef hat he smiled to himself, "What a wonderful actor I would make." He said out loud.
Doki! ~
Ichigo and Kashino raced down the hall, "Where is it?" Ichigo asked Vanilla.
"I'm sensing it down there!" Vanilla pointed her small finger left.
"Okay! Come on!" Ichigo grabbed Kashino by the wrist, pulling him to the left with her. They stopped at the storage room door.
"Who would be in the storage room?" Kashino asked.
"I don't know..." Ichigo replied, "S-should we go in?"
"We're going to have to," Kashino pushed the door open. The storage room was dark, metal shelves of ingredients seemed to be creaking as they walked.
There was a rustling in the back, "That's where I sense the X-egg's presence Vanilla whispered.
"Useless..." They could hear the X-egg mutter.
"You're not useless!" The door was slammed open again. Amu stood at the door, her arms crossed. "Sorry guys, I would have been here sooner but some stupid green-haired kid bumped into me." She turned to the X-egg, "You're not useless! And you darn right know that!" She flicked her fingers in front of her lock necklace, "My own heart, UNLOCK!"
Ichigo joined in, "My own heart, UNLOCK!" Kashino tried to follow their actions, he said the words and used the gestures but nothing happened. He sighed and back away toward the wall where all he could do was watch. "Combined into one, we can overcome any obstacles; together we will defeat the one who is bad!" Ichigo yelled. The bright light cleared, "Character Transformation, Strawberry Vanilla Angel!"
Amu was wearing this time, a puffy green dress with an apron and frilly gloves. She held a whisk, and had a large green clover in her hair, "Character Transformation, Amulet Clover!"
"Ichigo Dimension!" Screamed Ichigo, the berry red force covering them once again, Kashino could only see their outlines now. "Vanilla dipped strawberries!"
"Honey bubbles!" Amu summoned her attack; the bubble's swallowed a strawberry, giving it a force field.
"Strawberry honey combined attack!" The girls screamed.
"NO!" The X-egg shook violently and destroyed each of the strawberry bubbles with a flash of purple lightning.
"No... No way..." Ichigo murmured.
"USELESS!" The X-egg hurled both Amu and Ichigo with more purple lightning. They slammed into the berry red force, destroying its protection.
"Hold it right there!" Someone yelled from the door.
Kashino looked to see who it was, "H-Hanabusa!"
"No one on earth I will let live, NO ONE hurts Ichigo-chan!" Cafe flew up beside Hanabusa.
"That's right Satsuki!" The spirit looked at the X-egg sternly, "his dream is to protect the ones who love him. He won't let anyone hurt them!" A familiar white light surrounded them. No way! Kashino screamed in his mind, Rose boy can transform! Hanabusa emerged from the light dressed in white pants and a green shirt. A rose design around the collar, Hanabusa held a white staff with a rose vine wrapped around it, "Character Transformation, Rose Prince Protector!"
Me: Ohh... Hanabusa just transformed!
Amu: Is that the green haired kid who bumped into me?
Me: Yup!
Kashino: Oy Mikashi... Who are you talking to...
Amu: Who are you?
Kashino: My name's Makoto Kashino.
Amu: Nice to meet you, my name is Hinamori Amu.
Kashino: Same.
Me: Please review!
