* Amu POV *

I miraculously got up on time this morning after barely getting any sleep because of that pervert Ikuto. I had to splash water on my face to wake myself up. I put on a black shirt that had red and black striped sleeves with a red hood. It also had a white skull and cross bones that stretched almost across the whole front of the shirt. I put on really short black shorts and red and black striped socks that ended about 3 inches above my knee; which was a whole inch from where the shorts ended. I put my hair in a half ponytail. The half that was up was pulled to the right so it was still behind my head, but as unusual as always. I stuck my X clip in it right in front of the ponytail and I was done.

I met Utau in front of the amusement park at 10:00 sharp; right on time. We decided we would hit the good rides first. You know the roller coasters that make you scream and dizzy even after you get off; the ones where you get off and stand there in silence and go "Whoa," afterwards.

We made our way to, my favorite, the raging bull when we heard a familiar voice behind us. Wonderful...

"Wow, I'm impressed no one has even gotten Utau on a rollercoaster. I hope you took pictures." We flipped around to see Ikuto and behind him two of his friends from the cafe...

It just kept getting better.

* Utau POV *

So we flip around to see my brother standing there. Amu looked like she was about to run away.

"You know, it couldn't be a burglar or a stalker. Oh no! It had to be you perverted cat-cosplay brother." she said folding her arms across her chest and leaning on one leg.

"Cosplay?" Ikuto asked amused. She just stuck her tongue out at him. The she grabbed my hand and started walking. "Where're you going?" he asked.

"I think it would probably be best for me if I just walk away now." she replied simply but didn't stop.

"So cold, you hit me with a pan and then you don't even talk to me? I still have a bump on my head you know; not very cute, Amu." My jaw dropped.

"Hey that was you damn fault you pervert! You were the one who snuck up on me remember?" She was getting aggravated.

"You hit him with a PAN?" I asked shocked. She nodded.

"Right on the head too." Meanwhile Ikuto's friends had started laughing. He just rolled his eyes.

"What if you had known it was him?" I asked.

"Yes, Amu, what if you had known it was me?" he asked slyly creeping closer. She didn't even think about it.

"You're lucky I didn't know it was you. Otherwise I would've taken the time to get my bat out of the closet." she said over her shoulder. Ikuto's friends burst out laughing and I had to bite my lip hard not to myself. The funny part was she was completely serious.

Ikuto put on his kitty face. She turned around "That won't work on me you know." she said getting in her arms-crossed stance again.

"What happened to walking away?" he asked grinning.

"You'd probably follow me. With the pervert you are I wouldn't be surprised if you were a stalker too." she said simply. As if that was a normal thing to say. Ikuto pretended to be hurt by her comeback.

"You're so cold, Amu. Not very cute you know." He said taking a few steps closer. She took a stubborn step back.

"I told you before, if it's toward you, I don't mind being ugly." She stuck her tongue out at him again.

"She's pretty interesting isn't she?" Kazuka asked.

"You bet! That's why she's my best friend." I said hugging her, she almost smiled, but she was in stubborn mode, so of course she wouldn't really smile.

"Especially the fact that she's so much younger than everyone else here and she acts like its nothing." Amu shrugged.

"Hadn't noticed. Why are you bringing to up? You trying to intimidate me or something?" she said raising an eyebrow. Kazuka just put up his hands in defense. Meanwhile, although I don't think anyone else noticed but me, Ikuto had disappeared.

"Crap. Where'd he go?" Amu grumbled. I just shrugged she sighed. "Geeze, this is aggravating."

"Is that so?" he said into her ear. She jumped and gasped. I jumped too. He fricking appeared out of nowhere. He grabbed her around her waist pulled her close.

"GAH! P-pervert!" she yelled trying to push him off. Like that would work. He just chuckled and nuzzled her neck. "Damnit Ikuto cut it out!" she said and started struggling with him. They looked kind of cute together. I laughed and so did Kazuka and Ryuu. Meanwhile... Rima walked up.

"A-Amu?" Amu stopped struggling and looked up at Rima with a sweat drop expression. "Are you guys going out?" Amu's jaw dropped.

"FUCK NO!" she yelled as if it were obvious. Although it looked like they were. Ikuto smiled, poor Amu I saw what was coming next, so did she.

"Don't you dare..." she started, but she was too late. Ikuto just straightened up and smiled; still holding Amu.

"Yes, don't listen to her she's just in shock."

"SHOCK? More like denial! At least I'm not fricking delusional like you!" she said severally pissed. He just started nuzzling her again. Rima just shrugged and walked away. "You know," Amu said just loud enough for Ikuto and me to hear, "I need to get a spray bottle. Every time you pull a move like this ill spray you with it, but for now..." she said slyly slipping through his arms somehow. "I have something that may be more affective." He just looked at her. She had one evil smile on her face.

* Amu POV *

While Ikuto was having a perverted moment I noticed Kukai in the batting cages. Once I got out of Ikuto's grasp... I figured I'd do something fun. "I'll be right back." I said innocently and skipped off into the crowd.

"What's she going to do I wonder?" Kazuka asked.

"I don't know, but I'm kind of scared." Ryuu said

"I would be too, she doesn't look like it, but she has a devious little mind and could probably kick your ass." I said simply. I might as well help her a little bit. Finally she came back.

"Oh, Ikuto, I have something for you." She said evilly. Ikuto got ready to play; a smile on his face.

* Utau *

"The pan was nice, but this'll work better," she said as her smile-o-dread got bigger as she pulled the thing out from behind her back. We gasped shock played across Ikuto's features. Amu ran at him with the bat and he ran laughing. We all started laughing. Then the guys and I started talking about what just happened. Ikuto, with Amu close behind, came running through a few times. She was about an inch behind his heels. They were both laughing; which amazed me. Ikuto wasn't chuckling he was LUAGHING. Ikuto LAUGHING! Was I in an Alternate universe?

After a while, when they didn't run through, we got kind of worried for Ikuto's safety and went looking for them. They weren't hard to find because they were screaming.

"You caught me are you happy now?"

"I won't be happy until this bat makes contact with your face!"

"That's not very cute you know."

"I THINK WE ESTABLISHED THE FACT THAT IM NOT VERY CUTE A WHILE BACK, IKUTO!" We found them and started laughing. Amu had caught him after all. It was pretty obvious that Amu had tackled him. She was on top of him with the bat held about two inches from his face. Meanwhile Ikuto was struggling to keep it there.

"What's wrong, Ikuto? A little girl beating you?" Ryuu teased.

"Oh shut up! She's a hell of a lot stronger than she looks!"

"Must be..." Kazuka mumbled. Ikuto finally pushed her off and she kind of flew. She landed on the ground laughing and got up. Ikuto just laid on the ground a stupid smile on his face. He finally got up.

"How long have you guys been doing that?"

"Too long." they both answered in unison. Amu gave the bat back to Kukai and we finished our trip with the guys. They decided to try to spook us or something and asked if we wanted to come with them to check out the haunted mansion on the other side of the park. It wasn't really part of the amusement park, but people went there anyways.

"Ah-" I said. I hated haunted houses.

"Come on it'll be fun!" Kazuka said enthusiastically.

"I don't know."

"What about you Amu?" Kazuka asked.

"I'm only going if Utau is."

"Why?" Ryuu asked shakily. He was kind of scared of Amu which was hilarious. We were at the house of mirrors and Amu tricked him into putting a blind fold on. When Ryuu's put it on, Amu turned him so he was really close to the mirror, and then once he was facing it: BAM! She shoved him right into it. He fell backwards screaming "HOLY SHIT!" as we laughed. I guess it was kind of pay back for the whole cafe thing.

"Because one, I don't want to have to be alone with you freaks." she rolled her eyes, "and two, when you guys decide to pull something I don't want to be the only one you trying to scare." she said simply shooting a spitball at the waiter: straight hit to the back of the neck. The guy just turned around and glared at her as she waved to him. Once he turned around, another to the back of the head.

"Alright, I guess I'll go." I said reluctantly.

"K, then I'm in too." she said automatically, as she shot another spit ball. This time the guy had turned around and it stuck to his glasses. She just smiled at him.

"Nice shot," Kazuka added.

"Lots of practice," she stated.

"So when should we meet you there?" I asked.

"Ah, let's say about 6:00" Ikuto said care free. He had been completely silent, watching Amu with a grin on his face; although she was completely oblivious.

"Good, that gives us a while till the dance since it starts at 9:30."

"Do you still expect me to go to that?" he asked, his eyebrows raised.

"Of course!" I yelled. He smirked.

"Will Amu be there?" he asked leaning close to her. She turned to him.

"Not if you keep pulling your pervert moments I won't."

"Cool, we'll go too; we've got nothing else to do." Kazuka suggested

"Well at least I know it won't be boring..." Amu said sourly.

We left and went home after that I was getting myself mentally ready for 6:00, I hate haunted houses.

* Ikuto POV *

So we both drove home in Utau's car. I saw Amu getting into a black mustang with two purple racing stripes on it. Cute.

"I'm sure you're glad Amu didn't see you eyeing her the whole time, huh?" Utau said grinning. Well, great she was going to hold that against me. I grinned too.

"What of it?"

"It's not just teasing anymore is it?" she asked seriously. I just looked at her.

* Amu POV *

I was totally ready for 6:00. I mean I'm a frigging vampire. I'm just fine with ghosts. The girls had stayed home so I filled them in on what happened. The whole story lasted until 6:00; which was good.

* Ikuto POV *

Utau, Kazuka, and I stood and waited at 6:55. Utau had insisted on coming early for some stupid reason. The next thing I knew Amu was behind Utau whispering 'boo' into her ear. Utau screamed. I almost did too. She appeared out of nowhere! Well I guess I can't blame her, I do the same thing.

All of a sudden Ryuu jumped out of the bushes at Amu with a sheet on. Utau screamed again and hid behind Amu. Amu just raised an eyebrow and said, "What the hell are you supposed to be?" while palming him on the forehead. Amu and her 'cool-and-spicy' act. Oh, well she's still cute.

* Utau POV *

Amu smacked Ryuu on the forehead, although she had to put her arm almost straight up to reach. This was sad for me because I'm the same age as them and yet Amu is as tall as me. This just makes me feel like a lawn knomb. Amu strode up to the gate but before she could touch it, it creaked open. I hid behind Ikuto. Amu just shrugged and walked in. I ran up behind her. She went to open the door, but it was locked. "Oh, well!" I said happy, but shakily. Amu just walked back. Was she giving up? Then she came flying past me straight at the door. She jumped up and kicked the door down with both feet. She stood up and looked around as if she hadn't just broken a door. The guys just stood there with the mouths open.

"I'm going to go look upstairs." she said coolly walking up the stairs. I ran after her, "Wait for me!" I yelled scrambling up behind her.
