Me: Hey people! I am here to present to you the most action packed chapter yet!

Kashino: Oh come on, we all know she can't write action, so why bother writing action at all?

Me: *smugly* Would you rather I wrote a drabble series about you and Ichigo?

Kashino: N-

Me: Too bad! Cause I already HAVE! *Laughs Evilly*

Kashino: This girl is crazy. BUT she doesn't own Yumeiro Patissiere or Shugo Chara.

Yumeiro Chara Doki-Doki!

Chapter 18: Showdown on the Rooftop!

Kashino landed back on the ground. He was wearing a dark brown jacket over a white dress shirt. He had matching dark pants and black lace shoes. A chocolate coloured tie hung loosely around his neck and he held a tall golden staff with a dark chocolate coloured orb. Long, white wings stretched out from the base of the orb, curling around it. Kashino smiled, "I did it! I character transformed!"

Ichigo smiled back, "Yes you did!"

Lulu took a step back, she laughed, though it almost seemed nervous. "It will take more than you two to beat me!"

Ichigo gripped her staff tight, "Just watch us."

Doki! ~

Andou and Hanabusa watched in awe as the swarm of pesky X-eggs wavered off into sleep. Their soft snoring filled the room. Andou blinked, "We got them to stop moving."

Hanabusa nodded, "That was kind of... Easy..."

Andou nodded, he raised his wand, "Caramel Wave!" The large bronze wave appeared behind the two boys, Andou tipped the wand forward and the wave crashed, collapsing on the X-eggs.

"USELESS?" The x-eggs protested, "U-u-u..."

The wave began melting off the black, replacing it only with white. The heart eggs sighed happily; they hummed softly floating out the window. The two boys watched them go, "Why do I feel like there's going to be a catch?" Andou asked.

"A catch?" Hanabusa raised his eyebrows.

"You know if it were that easy... There's always a hidden catch?"

"... Well..."

"AHHHH!" They heard Amu scream from up the stairs, "IKUTO!"

The two boys looked at each other, "I think I found the catch," Hanabusa sighed.

Doki! ~

"SPIRAL HEART!" Amu tried desperately to slow the beast. The large X-monster easily swatted it away. Ikuto stood up, though pain contorted his face. "I can't believe this thing!" Amu screamed, "It hit you full in the face with its mangy claw hands!"

"It's alright Amu," Ikuto winced.

"IT IS NOT!" Amu turned to her chara's, "Miki, Character transformation!"

"Character transformation, Amulet Spade!" Amu was wearing a frilly blue long sleeve with blue, dark blue shorts and white striped stockings. She had on chunky brown boots and a hat much like Miki's with a huge blue spade. She summoned her paintbrush, "Colourful Canvas!"

The X-monster was hit in the eyes with the paint, temporarily blinding it. Hanabusa and Andou emerged from down the stairs, "Amu, Ikuto!"

"Help us!" Amu wailed her paintbrush became a conductor's baton, "Prism Music!"

Ikuto jumped up nimbly, "Slash Claw!" He scratched at the monster's face, who growled in pain, "REVENGE!" He yelled.

Hanabusa and Andou looked at each other and nodded, "Thorn Vines!" Hanabusa yelled. The vines stretched out and grabbed the monster by its wrists.

"USELESS?" The monster yelled. It glared at Hanabusa, its eyes glowing an evil red. Hanabusa gulped.

"Azuki Bombs!" Andou screamed. The explosions distracted the monster from Hanabusa.

"USELESS?" It wailed confused as to where the explosions came from.

Ikuto stared up at the monster, "Slash Claw!" He slashed the monsters legs, causing the X-eggs to disband and have the rest of the monster tumble down.

"Amu! PURIFY THE X-EGGS NOW!"

She stared at the huge monsters, "There's so many! I need more power!"

"Caramel Wave SPECIAL!" Andou yelled. A gigantic bronze wave formed behind him, "Now Hinamori-san!"

"Negative Heart! Lock on!" She placed her hands on her chest in the form of a heart, "OPEN HEART!"

"Caramel Wave!" The hearts and wave smashed into the monster, who yelled loudly. Ikuto and Hanabusa covered their ears. The monster gave one last cry before the X was lifted and broken. The large amount of heart eggs hummed happily and flew down the stairs.

Amu wiped the sweat off her brow. "Phew! That was harder than I thought it would be! Now all that's left is..."

Ikuto's expression hardened, "Lulu."

Doki! ~

Lulu laughed, "Just try and stop me Amano Ichigo and Kashino Makoto!"

The two jumped up, "Ichigo Dimension!" Ichigo yelled. The force field covered them and Lulu. "Vanilla Dipped Strawberries!" Ichigo aimed them at Lulu.

"Oh no you don't!" Lulu countered. She swung her necklace and all their classmates behind them were whisked off. Their corrupted X-eggs flew together into a swarm.

"Useless... USeless... USEless... USELess... USELEss... USELESs... USELESS!" Kashino and Ichigo watched in horror as the X-eggs combined creating 3 gigantic X-eggs.

The X-eggs hovered in front of Lulu like a shield. "Come on, TRY AND GET ME!"

Kashino gritted his teeth, "Why you..." He was cut off by the X-egg's purple lightning. It zapped Ichigo's Vanilla dipped strawberries, shrivelling them to crisps.

"Oh!" Ichigo exclaimed.

Lulu smiled. Suddenly, the roof door slammed open. "Everyone!" Ichigo cried.

Amu's eyes widened, "Kashino transformed?"

"I did!" He smiled. Amu, Ikuto, Hanabusa and Andou pushed through the Ichigo dimension.

"Why are you doing this Lulu?" Amu screamed, "I thought you had everything you wanted! Your mom's movie deal... living in France again... WHAT HAPPENED?"

Lulu was taken aback, "What happened?" Her eyes softened, "What happened?" She whispered.

*Flashback*

"Mother!" Lulu called, she closed the door of their French house. There was no response, "Hello?"

There was a note on the table, "Sweetie it's mom, we have a last minute re-taping, I'm sorry. I'm afraid we have to cancel our plans to go shopping this afternoon. Dad will be home when you come back, you guys can rent a movie or something like that, I'll be home at around 11:30 tonight. P.S Heat up the leftover dinner from last night for dinner."

Beside it was a note from her father, "Lulu, I need to finish a few things at work, I'll be home late today. Maybe around 11:00 tonight. I hope you and your mom have a good time shopping!"

"I'm all alone tonight?" Lulu's face fell, "This is the 3rd time this week". She sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V, she snuggled against a pillow. A commercial of a small family appeared on the screen.

"Mama!" A little blonde girl called her mom.

Her mom, a blonde as well looked down at her, "What is it Sweetie?"

"Can we go out for dinner tonight for my birthday?" The little girl asked, giving her mom a sweet look.

Her mom smiled, "When Daddy comes home we'll go okay?"

*Scene change to restaurant*

"Mama! Daddy!" The little girl smiled at her parents, "I love this! I love you!"

Her parents smiled and her dad ruffled her hair. An unseen narrator spoke, Family Happens When You Open Up To New Possibilities, Le Restaurant Fantastique.

Lulu felt her eyes water, "Mom... Dad..." She fumed and thought angrily, I did everything to get us to France! And when we finally get here you've just abandoned me! You leave me home alone all night while families go out and have fun together!"

She buried her face in the couch pillow, "I wish you were home more." Suddenly she looked up, "The embryo!" She exclaimed. She got up and ran out of the house, I've got to get to Japan right away! She ran and accidentally ran into someone. She looked up, "Tsukiyomi Ikuto!"

*End of Flashback*

"It's none of your business!" She screamed, there were tears in the corner of her eyes. She screamed loudly and sent more X energy at them. Ikuto blocked the attack with slash claw. Amu looked at the others, "We have to get rid of those huge X-eggs! Then we can get to Lulu!"

"Right!" Ichigo exclaimed. The others nodded, "Crème de Fraises!" The strawberry cream ribboned around the X eggs. Ichigo tried pulling the X-egg away, so they could get to Lulu, "It's too heavy!"

Kashino could feel energy rush through him; he extended his staff for the first time, "Chocolat Ribbon!" Silky milk chocolate ribboned around, intertwining with Ichigo's Crème de Fraises. "Ready Ichigo?" Kashino asked, not having enough time to feel shocked.

"Yes!" Ichigo replied.

The two looked at each other, "Strawberry Chocolate Ribbon Combined Attack!" They yanked on the ribbons and pulled the X-egg away from the other two.

Amu looked at Su, "Su! Character transformation!"

"Character Transformation, Amulet Clover!" She summoned her bubble wand, "Honey Bubbles!" Amu summoned a huge honey bubble that gobbled up the X-egg lifting it in the air. Amu easily moved it toward the side, leaving only the X-egg in the middle to protect Lulu.

"Why you annoying..." Lulu hissed.

"I may not know what's going on in your life right now Lulu," Amu said, "But I know that this isn't right, what you're doing is wrong!"

"SO?" She countered.

Ichigo looked angry, "Corrupting people's dream is unacceptable, no matter what reason. I'm going to save everyone, whether or not you'll cooperate!"

Lulu looked smug, "Okay Amano Ichigo, Hinamori Amu," She smiled evilly, "Get ready to lose."

Me: Next time on Yumeiro Chara Doki Doki!

Hanabusa: Lulu's pulling fast ones!

Andou: Agreed, she sure has a lot of tricks up her sleeves.

Ikuto: That girl is going to pay for hurting Amu.

Amu: Oy! I'm prefectly capable of getting my own revenge...

Ichigo: Kashino! Use the move within your heart!

Kashino: Perfect harmony... Like a devil

Ichigo: and an Angel!

Kashino and Ichigo: ANGEL&DEVIL HARMONY!
