Chapter 7 ^-^! I don't want to spoil it, but this is about meeting a new Chara, so Ayame will sorta have a tenth one. Anyway, so sorry for making the chapters short ( I never realize how much I type o_o ). I promise to try to make them longer... wait did I say that in the previous chapter or something? Anyways, 3, 2, 1, start! Chapter 7 :D

Chapter 7 - Lost Chara!

" Lily! " Ayame's other Charas cried.

Rikka, Yaya, and Takumi just gaped at Lily, also along with their Charas.

" That's Lily, " Ayame introduced. " I'd say she's one of the calmest of my Charas. "

Lily smiled and said, " Hi! "

" Just like Ayame... too calm, " Yaya muttered under her breath.

After a nice time with the Guardians, they went back to class and then soon left to go home. Ayame didn't live close to the Guardians, so she walked only with her Charas. They were chattering about the Guardians and how nice they were, and also about their Charas.

They were passing by a river when suddenly, Victoria said, " Ayame! There's another Chara around here! "

Ayame stopped and looked around. Then Savvy pointed at the riverbank and said, " Look! An egg! "

Everyone looked at the riverbank. Sure enough, there was a Shugo Chara egg there. It was lavender with black crescent moon shapes in the middle. The middle was white and had lines on the top and bottom of it that separated it from the rest of the egg. But something puzzled Ayame about it - it had an X on it.

Luna's POV

Why? I kept repeating in my head. Why did she leave me like that? I'm not a piece of garbage!

The incident kept flowing into my mind.

I heard Nina, my owner, calling me to wake up. There was an excitement in her voice as she told me to come over to her bed.

" What's up? " I asked. Then, suddenly, I saw it. Another egg, with the same pattern as mine, except the designs were golden stars and the rest of the egg was golden.

Then, Nina scowled at me. " Why are you gaping at it like that? That's not really nice. "

" Oh... um... sorry, " I managed to say.

Today at school, the egg hatched. A pretty Chara named Goldie popped out. She represented Nina's dream to be famous. I was happy with her being around until Nina told me, " I don't need you anymore, Luna. I've got Goldie, and you know what? I don't want to explore the stars and moon anymore, like how you represent me. You're a fake! "

I still flew alongside Nina, though. That is, until she told me to turn into an egg. Then she threw me into the riverbank, and she left with Goldie before she got to see me turn into an X.

Then those thoughts flooded away. I will become another's Shugo Chara, I thought. I don't want Nina anymore. After that, all the thoughts of my bearer flew away. I remembered nothing, and I sensed lots of Shugo Charas and a girl nearby. I wasn't sad anymore.

Ayame's POV

I rushed down to the riverbank and picked up the egg. It was very fragile, so I was careful when I held it.

" Ayame, " Lily said with a worried tone. " It's really tired. Let's take it home and take care of her. "

" Okay, " I said, putting the egg carefully into my bag. " Let's go home. "

Soon we arrived at my new house. I went inside and called to my mom, " I'm home! "

" I'm in the kitchen! " My mom called back.

I went into the kitchen. Nicole, my mom's Chara, greeted me. When she sensed the new Chara in my bag, she asked, " Oh-oh! A new Chara? "

My mother spun around and looked at me, shocked. " EHH?! YOU GOT A NEW CHARA?! "

I sweatdropped, and said, " Well... Not really. " I took out the egg. " I found this lying around on the riverbank. Lily said it was tired, so we decided to take it home and take care of it... "

Nicole gently touched the egg, and then she told my mom, " She's right... It's very fragile. I sense a strong feeling coming from deep within it. "

( Oh and I almost forgot to mention : Nicole represents Ayame's mom's dream of being a cook. )

" You should bring it up to your room, " My mom told me. " That way, you can keep an eye on it while doing your homework. "

" Kay, " I said as I went up to my room. I sat down at my desk, put the egg on it, and took out my homework. The homework was super easy, and I finished it really quickly. Right when I finished, the egg cracked open...

Luna's POV

I popped out of my egg and said, " Hi. I'm Luna. "

I saw a girl with lots of Shugo Charas and a crystal necklace looking at me. I forced a small smile. " Nice to meet you, " I said quietly.

" I'm Ayame, and these are my Charas, Samantha, Savannah, Medida, Lily, and Victoria. I lost a Chara named Ia a few months ago. " Ayame, the brown-haired girl, looked at me. I was wearing a dark purple sleeveless top with a necklace with a white X as a charm, a black preppy skirt, black boots with dark purple lace, and a black headband with a white X on it. My hair was brown and up to my waist with purple and black streaks. To top it off, I had silver hoop earrings and 2 silver bracelets.

I looked way cooler than my normal self.

" Cute, " A Chara with cat ears flew over to me. " Savannah; call me Savvy. "

" Hi. " I knew I was going to get along with her really well. Savvy looked a lot like me. She had black cat ears with purple on the inside, a black choker, a one-sleeved purple top, black jeggings, purple boots underneath them, and brown hair up to her shoulders. Her bangs were swept to the side, just like mine. " Love the outfit. " I smiled. She smiled back.

" What happened to you? " Ayame asked. " How did you become an X? "

" I don't want to talk about it, so please don't bring up the topic. I don't really remember, either. "

Anyway, that wraps up this chapter! Savvy and Luna are really going to get along... Please review what you think I should do with Luna!
