Chapter 32: The Road To The Stars.

Amu: "I'm telling you that they are gone!"

Tira: "Did you say something to them last night?"

Amu: "Of course not!"

Tira: "Aren't they in their Eggs though? They're not normal size Eggs so-!"

Amu: "That's the first place I look but they weren't even there. Their Eggs are gone, too!"

I frown deeply on my end of the line. You gotta be kidding me!

Amu: "Tira?"

Tira: "…Yeah?"

Amu: "Please, you gotta help me!"

Is it because I'm her Twin Joker? Why do I have to help her every time?

Amu: "You're the only one who I thought that would've the same problem. I just can't call everyone and tell them! Please!"

Amu begged on her end and I sigh in reply. Got nothing better to do, right?

Tira: "Fine, I'll be there soon."

I said and I could image her smile after a sigh of relief.

Amu: "Thank you! You're the best!"

And with that, she hung up and I look at my cell phone. Why do I end up doing the finding game? Oh, right… I'm the Black Joker. I then notice that no one was knocking my door to get me to open it and I smile a little. Yaya must've heard what I was talking about so she had to get her family to leave the door…

"I have to thank her for that."

I thought and soon got dress and head off to Amu's house. When I got there, I was greeted by Amu's mother, while I notice the father was taking pictures of Amu's little sister, Ami, who was posing for the camera. That's something I didn't think of seeing before in my life…

"You must be Tira, yes?"

Mrs. Hinamori asks, getting me to snap out of my thoughts and look over to her with a smile.

"Yes. Amu's home, right?"

I ask and she smiles back at me.

"Amu told us that you'll be coming over to help her with something. Please come on in."

I walk in, taking my shoes off and follow her to Amu's room.

"Amu, your friend is here."

Mrs. Hinamori said and Amu open the door fast, seeing us and she graph my arm and pull me into the room, almost falling but was able to balance myself in time.

"Thanks mom! Bye!"

Amu said fast and close the door before her mother could say anything else. Amu turns over to me with a smile.

"Thank you for coming! I couldn't tell the others, I just couldn't!"

"Okay, okay. Enough with the thank you's and let me just help you out."

"Alright, sorry."

She agreed and just before we started looking, Diamond appears in front of us.

"There's no need to look around. We gotta find them from the outside."

"Outside?"

"Find them outside? But how?"

Amu asks, getting me to make a face. Really? She didn't have to ask the same thing in her own way…

"Did you forget? I'm the navigator to the future."

Diamond answers and winks at us.

"Okay, let's go! Ready… Character Transformation! Amulet Diamond!"

And just like that, Diamond went into her Egg, going into Amu's heart and in a flash of light, she became Amulet Diamond.

"Hey, wait a second… What do you mean?"

Amu asks, having me hear what Diamond said as well.

"Listen closely, Amu. Tira."

Diamond started and we did what we were told and soon started to hear whispers.

"Can you hear it? Whispers from the future."

Diamond said and Amu's golden mic appear with a blast of light and stars appear from it, making us gasps and jump from this while Amu still held the mic in her hands in surprised.

"We should do it, too."

Kiki said and I nod my head in agreeing and did a Character Transformation with Kiki and became Heart Of Light. Just then we heard a whisper that held the sentence we knew very well.

"All children have an Egg in their heart."

"That sentence…"

"That was… The picture book?"

"I guess our destination is set. Come on, girls!"

Diamond said in our heads and in a flash of light, we were in a colorful world of stars in rivers of rainbows all around us.

"Oh my god, this is too kid girly!"

"What is this?"

We both spoke, while Diamond smile as Luluu was scared of the rainbows and stars and as for Rika and Kiki, they were enjoying the view.

"The road of stars."

Diamond started, while we started flying around the rainbows and stars.

"A secret passageway only light could travel on."

"Wait… Luluu is the bad self I wish to be so why is she here?"

I ask Diamond out loud. I then felt like Diamond smile wider at the question.

"Because Luluu may be the bad self you wish to be but she's is the self that you wish to be to treat others. Not to be a villain."

That make's a lot of sense… So I'm guessing Kiki and Rika are like that as well.

"Now back to what I was saying. This road is the reason why light could travel so fast and far."

"Uh… I see…"

"Okay…"

Diamond giggles at our response.

"It's so fast; we can pass space and time. We may look like we disappeared suddenly… Or even look like we're moving very slowly."

I… Think I understand…?

"But… Space and time... Does that mean I can go any place in any time period!"

Amu asks, making me eye widen in shock… Lucky!

"That's right! But the road of stars is a bit uncertain- uh-oh!"

"What do you mean by 'uh-oh'?"

I ask Diamond who made a sad smile.

"Sorry, Amu. Tira. We entered a meteor zone again."

Again!

"What zone- aaaack!"

"Ahhhhh!"

We both scream, being sucked into it and in a before we could even blink, we fall into a room that we didn't know where. But I could tell you this: I fall onto a bean bag chair, and Amu fell right on top of me!

"Whoa!"

"Ack!"

We both cried as Amu lay on my back, having our transformation come undone as well.

"Ow… I'm… Okay? Huh? My Character Transformation… What is this? A couch?"

She thinks I'm a couch! That's it! I then used all my strength and push myself up on the bean bag chair and she fall right off of me and onto the floor.

"Do I look like a couch to you!"

I snap at her, getting her to look over with a deep frown.

"Sorry…"

Amu said and notices I am on a bean bag chair… And a big one at that!

"Amu…? Tira?"

We heard a child's voice and we gasps, looking over to see Hikaru in a male Seiyo school uniform.

"Hikaru! What?"

"Looks like two shooting stars fell in."

We heard Tsukasa said and we look over to him, seeing Tadase with him as well.

"Amu? Yuiki?"

Tadase said, eye widen.

"Tsukasa! Tadase! If you're here then that means this is… The Chairman's office at the academy?"

"Yup."

Oh great… We're back at Seiyo.

At Sanjo Production…

"Hmm. Let's see… How can we solve this?"

Kairi asks his Character, Musashi, looking at Sanjo and Nikaidou who weren't facing each other on their chairs. Nikaidou was taking a smoke of his cigarette and Sanjo was pouting, as both had their arms cross.

"I say we have… A showdown! Round one!"

Musashi said, getting the two adults to look over at each other from the corner of their eye.

"Fight!"

"You're serious about this, Yukari? If you want to take it back, now's the chance!"

"There's no way I'm taking it back. This time, it's over for real! We're finished!"

"Um, could you two… calm down?"

Kairi asks but they didn't hear him and continue.

"You're breaking up with me again? No more do-over's!"

"Yes, I'm breaking up with you again!"

Sanjo answers, getting out of her chair with a glare.

"I never thought you'd be the type to get in the way of my career. I should have known the first time I broke up with you. Well, at least I'm glad I found out before we married!"

That made Nikaidou snap and he went out of his chair before Kairi could blink for one second and he glare back at her.

"What do you mean getting in the way of your career! You're the selfish one who wants to delay the wedding so close to date!"

"I can't help it. It's an important time for Utau! As her manager, I can't be caught up in a wedding at a time like this!"

Sanjo snap back at him. The two stay silent for a while and they started to calm down.

"She's been working very hard ever since we left Easter. And finally, her efforts are paying off! That great director, Tararantino, even said… 'She is wonderful and amazing.'"

Sanjo said, looking down with a small frown. Nikaidou then frowns deeply.

"I understand that both of you worked very hard. But this is a different issue. We got together again… And after a long discussion we decided upon marriage."

That made Sanjo snap and gives him a death glare, which he returns.

"That's why I'm apologizing and asking us to delay!"

"But what if you get another job offer later? We're going to have to delay again!"

"But you don't know that's going to happen! Why are you so petty?"

"Why are you so pushy!"

Kairi then had enough and did a Character Change with Musashi and stab his sword in between them, making them scream and back away, unharmed.

"It makes two to quarrel!"

Kairi shouted and they look over to him while Kairi puts his sword back into the sword holder.

"Both of you please calm down. I came to help out with the wedding. If you dare delay it, I came for nothing."

They frown at this, while Kairi went out of his Character Change.

"According to my data, you just have cold feet and it's temporary. I think you both ought to take some time and cool off."

"But…"

They both said at the same time but Kairi didn't listen and continue.

"And we'll discuss this once more after that!"

"Yes…"

They both said at the same time again, but when they look over to each other again, they glare and turn their backs on one another, making Kairi sigh in disappointment.

"I'm not going to apologize!"

"I won't either!"

"True love never did run smooth. That's what Shakespeare says. Kairi this is going to take a while."

Musashi said, getting a nod from the boy in return.

Back At Seiyo…

"I see. So you're trying to look for the Guardian Characters who disappeared?"

Tsukasa asks, looking over to Amu while we both sat on the couch.

"Yes. I've had them stolen before. But they never disappeared like this. So I call Tira to see if she lost her Characters too, but she didn't so she came over to help me and Diamond."

Amu answers, looking down. Tadase then walks over to her.

"Amu, cheer up. I'm sure you'll them."

"Yeah, thanks. Although I'm not sure if I can rely on Diamond's navigation."

Amu whispers that last part out, looking over to see Diamond talking to Kiseki and mine Characters near by. Guess she didn't hear Amu say that. Amu then remembers about Hikaru.

"Oh, by the way, what is Hikaru doing here?"

"Oh. He's going to transfer to Seiyo Academy starting in the spring."

"Oh! Really?"

Amu asks, looking over to the child, who nods his head at her.

"Right, you're wearing the uniform! It looks good on you!"

"…I wonder if I can make friends."

"Of course. Lots of them!"

"As many as the number of employees at Easter?"

"Yeah, a hundred of friends in no time!"

"There are over 100,000 employees around the world."

"…What?"

I try not to laugh at this but I end up letting a giggle come out, but no one heard it.

Hikaru looks just so damn happy. Makes me wanna hug him! Just then he took out a yellow Egg with stars on it. Wait, wasn't that the so called Embryo before it turn out to be a Guardian Egg?

"Oh! Hikaru is that-!"

"The person I want to be. I hope it hatches soon."

Hikaru said, looking at his Egg while Tsukasa walks over and hands me the Heart's Egg book, making me look over to him in question.

"I… Thought you'd two would need this."

Was all he said with a smile, as Tadase, Amu and our Character went over to me and I started going through the pages that were now back inside the book and started to read it out loud.

"The lost Egg asked the stars.

'How can I find my owner?'

The star's answered.

'Look for four speaking fragments. Then you will find a glimmering jewel.'

The Egg went on a journey to find the sparkling fragments. And then it went back to its rightful place."

Amu then thought of something.

"Glimmering jewel…"

"The Embryo!"

Tadase and Amu both asks at the same time and we gasps.

"Amu. Yuiki. I'll help. Let's look for the Embryo once again, to get your Guardian Characters back."

We look over to him in surprised.

"Huh? But I thought you wanted to get the Embryo to take over the world."

Tadase smiles at her.

"It's fine. Your dreams and ambitions are mine as well. I want to be the King of a small world. A world where people close to me can all smile. So Amu… I can't achieve it without your smile. Okay?"

He asks, getting a warm smile back at him. Just then the book I was still holding started to have rainbows and stars come out of it, making me jump and drop the book onto the floor in surprised.

"The road of stars is nearing again. Let's go!"

Diamond call out and Amu took Tadase hand and I took her's and our Character's follow us inside the road of stars. Just then Diamond noticed something.

"Amu, look! There's something in the light. Let's take a look."

Diamond said and we look over to see a memory of the past when Amu was in class, back when she was a brat on the day I ran into her.

"Is that… Me!"

Amu asks, looking at it. I frown, remembering when Amu knock into me. It was in the past but just thinking about it makes me upset.

"Tira."

Rika call out, getting me and my Characters to look over in question.

"There's a memory of you over there!"

Rika said, pointing to a light where I saw myself running to school, when I ran into Amu. I watch the memory, seeing many others soon after that, not even listening to what the others were saying.

"Back then… I was picked on. I didn't have many friends nor any family but Mr. Tory, who stick with me as long as he could before I got fired from that stupid new job law… When I went home that night after the bullies from school, all I could think was of how I should treat others when I wasn't even thinking much of what I said and made a wish. And that's when Kiki and Luluu came into my life. And if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here now with my new friends and family. In a way, they saved me from going insane of being so alone in this world…"

I thought to myself and then heard a few gasps and look over to see Amu taking something that was glowing in dark pink in her hands.

"That's… A sparkling… Fragment…"

Tadase whispers, while I made a small smile.

"I found it. The first sparkling fragment."

Amu said, looking at us all.

"Hop… Step… Jump!"

Amu said, jumping into the air as we follow after her.

"Just… Three more."

Said a well known voice far behind us with a smile.

A/N: I didn't know Sanjo's real name and didn't feel like looking it up on the net so I always call her Sanjo. But when I found out about her name later on I had so many chapters I didn't want to look around to change Sanjo to Yukari. Sorry, guys. Will I'll try to post two more chapters Friday but don't get your hopes up! Bye-bye!
