Hi! I've been putting alot of chappies on thi one is no exception
Let's start!
The six arrived at the snowy mountains. The Guardians were staring at were they were going to be for the next week and a have.
"Incredible," Amu said.
"It's great," Nadeshiko added.
"It's beautiful," Aiko said.
The bus moved showing great white, mountains of snow.
"Viva resort training!" Yaya said jumping up and down.
Amu's chara opened the package were they where and smiled at what they saw.
"Really great!" Ran said getting a runny nose.
"What a magnificent natural beauty," Mikki added again with runny nose.
"But it's chilly," Su said getting the third runny nose.
The other charas meanwhile were playing with the snow. Temari was making snowballs. Daichi threw them and he threw the first one towards Kiseki while he had his back on them.
"How dare you throw snow at me, ruffian! Counterattack!"
"Roger!" Pepe said getting a snowball and throwing it.
While Daichi laughed he got hit by Pepe's throw. He fell and the snow sprouted into Temari, "Ah! Cold!"
Then they all started a snowball fight.
"Looks fun!" Su said.
"We should join too," Ran said.
While Ania looked all happy watching them play her face was all sparkly. Aiko turn to face her and just smiled.
"You can play with them."
Ania faced her and a signed of grateful eyes came to her, "Yeah!"
"Guys! Wait for me!"
"So, Kuukai's grandfather's place is in front of the training ground, right? Where is it?" Amu asked.
"Maybe that's it?" Yaya said pointing towards a luxurious building.
"Amazing!" Amu recalled.
"Wonderful!" Nadeshiko said.
"I want to go right away!" Aiko said happily.
"Don't tell me he's some kind of celebrity!" Yaya called.
"No chance at all," Kuukai said.
He grabbed Yaya's hand moving it towards the correct place.
"Over…" he stopped momentarily at a hotel that looked decent then moved her hand again, "There."
"A temple?" Yaya and Amu both said.
Yaya started to wiggle all over in shock and trying to let go off from Kuukai's grip.
"The Snow Mountain resort isn't our training camp?" Amu asked.
"Like I said, we're at the temple near the Snow Mountain resort," Kuukai corrected and reminded, letting go of Yaya Who fell on her knees.
"It's my grandpa's."
"Nee, Yaya are you okay?" Aiko asked already knowing the answer and sweat dropping a little as Yaya trembled.
"Let's get skiing," Kuukai said.
"We were tricked!" Amu said.
They went ahead and started Nadeshiko with skis and Yaya who was falling with a snowboard. Tadase who had skis too and Kuukai and Aiko who both had snowboards. Finally Amu who was snowboarding all pro status. How come, because she was using Chara Change.
"Is everyone having fun?"
"Stop it with this character!"
"It's fine. It's fun, right?" Ran said.
"Well, I guess. Pretty fun."
Nadeshiko, Yaya and Tadase had stopped.
"Incredible, Amu-chan's doing well."
"That's not fair! She did a Chara Change with Ran!" Yaya scolded.
"Amu, you cheater! Two can play that game!" Aiko said.
"Ania, let's go!"
"Of course!"
The little cross appeared on her head.
"Chara Change!"
Ania was the type to help but even though something about Aiko made her true nature get out every time she Chara Changed with Ania. This meant she was a great snowboarder inside.
"Kuukai, we can't lose either!" Daichi called.
"All right. Let's go, Daichi!"
The star appeared on his head.
"Chara Change!"
The three were now going for it all.
"It's a challenge, for you two! Hinamori! Hikaru!" Kuukai called while they made a jump.
"Fine. I'm not going to lose," Amu said.
"Can you keep up?" Aiko said teasingly.
The three were making some great moves and jumps all over the place.
"Pretty good, you girls!"
"Same you!"
"That's not all we have!" Aiko called.
They kept going on. Amu then jumped a cliff and while she was in the air she noticed a little boy playing on the snow and he was right below from were Amu was landing.
"Amu-chan!" Ran called.
"Right!"
Chara Nari:
Amulet Heart!
She hovered above the boy and moved to the side of the boy.
"Playing here is dangerous. Build it near the side of the path."
"Sure."
Both Kuukai and Aiko had stopped while Tadase came down near them. Amu watched that the kid left the place. Tadase was just staring at her.
Amu suddenly sneezed, "Cold."
Kuukai laughed at her, "Of course you're cold."
"Having a runny nose…" Mikki said.
"And being the heroine," Su said.
Amu at hearing them she gave a scary stare at them. This made them stop.
"Amu-chi save me!" Yaya said rolling downhill.
"Wait!" Nadeshiko said trying to catch up to her.
"Yaya, I'm coming now!"
Amu, Aiko and Kuukai went ahead. Amu sneezed again. Tadase just kept staring at her as she left.
It was the afternoon of that day and the guys had arrived at the temple.
"Fools!" said Kuukai's grandfather, "I told you to come before dark."
"Sorry, Gramps. We just got carried away," Kuukai apologized.
"Negligence!" the old man said, hitting Kuukai on his shoulder.
"Carried away," you say," he said, "That is proof of your negligence! Clean the halls to clean your soul."
"Clean the halls?" Amu, Yaya and Kuukai said, but everyone not liking the idea.
"So long!" Yaya called.
"How are we supposed to clean this hall?" Amu ask, "Impossible."
"Fools!" the old man said entering through the sliding door, "It's not "how to" or "how not to" at all!"
He slammed a bucket of water down, "Polish it just a little, and it will begin to shine. Don't focus on finding the simple solution. Even a long journey starts with the first step."
The three and the others felt ashamed of themselves.
"All right, start cleaning!"
And so they started. Nadeshiko was cleaning the floor with a broom the floor, as Temari dusted.
"Cleaning, cleaning!" Su sang.
Kiseki just looked himself at the metal of the handles.
"Why must I, the crown prince, have to do cleaning?" Kiseki said while cleaning with Tadase.
"I seriously felt like doing nothing after getting here," Aiko said dusting like Temari and Ania.
Kuukai was just cleaning with one towel on the floor moving it with his foot and whistle as Daichi was too.
"No slacking!" Su said surprising them both.
"Go for it, go for it, Amu-chan! Cleaning, clean it, sparkly!" Ran cheered as Amu and Mikki cleaned.
"You help too!" Amu said very annoyed.
"What a pain," Yaya said falling to her knees.
"I've had it. No more of this!" Pepe said hitting and kicking.
"Such a pain!" Yaya said getting to the floor and started doing the same as Yaya.
"Yuiki-san, calm down," Tadase said trying to end her tantrum.
"Okay. Then, Yaya," Kuukai said, "This time around, we'll race."
"A race?"
"Ready go!" Kuukai said running while sliding through the floor with a towel on his hands through the floor cleaning it.
"Wait!" Yaya said running too.
"Looks like fun. I'll try too," Amu said.
"Why not?" Aiko said going.
"All right, me too," Tadase said.
"Oh my, if it involves cleaning…" Temari said.
Suddenly Nadeshiko Chara Changed and began running at full speed.
"I ain't gonna lose!"
"Move it, move it!" she said running over Amu, Aiko, Yaya, and Tadase.
"Get out the way, or I'll end your life!"
She got at Kuukai's pace and charged passed him. Kuukai noticing this went at full too.
"Final lap!" Yaya said ringing a bell while Amu held a board that read the same thing.
When they were about to finish they had a picture finish and at the last three it showed Temari put a banana peel under Kuukai's feet and he fell. While Nadeshiko happily got to the finish line, winning.
"I'm tired," Amu said.
"But that was fun," Yaya considered.
Suddenly the doors behind them slide open as they got shocked.
"Who said you could play?" The man said with a black aura around him, "Fools!"
"After cleaning…"Yaya said.
"Now we have to cook for ourselves?" Amu said confused.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Because of me..." Nadeshiko said.
"Don't worry. It's fine," Amu assured her.
"Amu-chan, I'm hungry," Ran said landing on the man's shoulder.
"I'm dying of thirst," Su said clinging to his other shoulder.
He looked over his shoulder making the two fall, "I think I just heard something."
"It was the wind," Kuukai said covering Ran's mouth.
Amu nodded as she held Su.
"Okay then let's start. The faster we get done with this the better," Aiko said clasping her hands and sounding all cheerful.
Kuukai started washing the rice but it accidentally fell in the sink.
"Why?"
Tadase began peeling the onions but didn't seem to stop until he had a very tiny piece.
"Huh?"
Yaya was trying to apparently cut a carrot with the pointy part first with a knife.
"I can't cut this carrot!"
"No way!"
Amu tried peeling the potatoes but suddenly poked her finger like a little bit but it bleed.
Aiko was getting mad.
"I wonder when we can finish making our meal?" Nadeshiko said.
"At times like these, its Su's turn."
"Su!" Amu called.
"Chips, syrup, whip cream!"
Amu's X pin changed into a clover.
"If you want cooking, leave it to Amu!"
"Who is this adorable girl? It's not my character!"
Amu then began doing the cooking and finished a great meal. It made everyone gasp.
"Amazing, Amu-chi!" Yaya said
"Pretty good, Hinamori!" Kuukai said.
"It's looks great! Not like the effort some others gave," Aiko said as Yaya and Kuukai sweat dropped at her comment.
"You'll make a wonderful bride," Tadase added.
Amu then turned a hot red, "B-Bride?"
"Choosing bride based on cooking; that's old-fashioned! Like, from the Stone Age, isn't it?" she said as the redness disappeared completely.
"Pretending again," Ran said,
"Did you all really make this?" the old man said.
Everyone gasped, "I was sure we only had provisional ingredients."
"Well I sort of…also…" Amu said.
"Never mind, never mind," Kuukai interrupted, "Thanks for the meal!"
"Thanks for the meal!"
The night passed by quickly. The next morning they went ahead and started snowboarding again.
"All right, let's play!" Yaya called.
"I wonder what that is?" Amu said looking at the bunch of people gathered around in a place.
They walked over, "Snow sculpting contest?" Kuukai said reading the sign above them.
"Making sculptures out of snow, right?" Nadeshiko said.
"Is that made of snow, too?" Yaya asked pointing towards something.
A man gave them a flyer and said that if they wanted to participate to do so.
"Let's see…The first prize is a one-week stay at an expensive hotel?" Amu said reading.
Amu saw the picture in the flyer and noticed that it was the same hotel that they had seen the day before.
"It's that hotel!" Yaya pointed.
"We'll definitely win!" Amu, Yaya and Kuukai called.
They were given a huge block of snow to build with.
"Hmm, we need to chip away at this?" Kuukai said, "What would you want to make?"
"How about a castle?" Nadeshiko suggested, "One made for a prince and a princess."
Suddenly a crown appeared on Tadase's head, "Did you just say "prince"?"
Nadeshiko and Amu suddenly sweat dropped realizing something.
"Finally, the time has come to build a castle for the king! All right, my subjects. I'll let you work for me! Everyone, let's get started!"
"T-Then, let's divide up the work into equal parts," Nadeshiko said, "I'll make the roof."
"I'll make the floor," Kuukai said.
"I'll make the cute decorations!" Yaya said.
"I'll make a small passage for the front door," Aiko said.
"I'll make a tower that looks out over the world!" Tadase called.
"Amu-chan, what's that?" Ran asked.
"Isn't it obvious? It's the gate!" Amu said but that gate was nothing like one.
"More like the entrance to Hades," Ran corrected.
"It looks like it would collapse, if it weren't for that side," Su added.
"I guess I'm not used to this. It's not my character."
Mikki hearing the last part gasped.
"That's right. If I Chara Change, then instantly…Mikki, you're good at this, right? If I Chara Change with you…"
"No way."
"Just like that? Why?"
"It feels like cheating."
"It's not! Even you said that a Chara Change brings out the potential sleeping inside me. The use of my inner talents is my choice!"
Mikki pulled her hat down a little and had her back to them. Aiko hearing Amu say something loud faced them to hear.
"Chara Changes and Character Transformations are potentials that sleep within you. However, they are not yet your real strengths."
Amu gasped at hearing her words.
"Saying, "I can't do this," or, "I'm not used to it,"" she turn to see Amu, "Do you like the you who says things like that?"
Amu looked away angry.
"If you're going to be like that, the ability may really disappear."
Mikki then flew to another place leaving Amu and the other two.
"What's that about?"
Aiko just turned to keep on working.
"That was fun," Kuukai said, while they were returning to the temple.
"Sorry, I got carried away," Tadase apologize.
"Tomorrow is the last day," Nadeshiko reminded, "We have to keep working hard."
She looked over to Amu, "What's wrong, Amu-chan?"
"Nah, it's nothing," she answered.
"Let's go buy some gifts. I'm hungry too," Yaya said.
"That's right, we haven't eaten anything," Aiko called.
"Well, there's a hot spring nearby. Should we head there?" Kuukai asked.
"Yeah."
They went into the village and headed towards the hot spring. They ate then stooped at the hot spring. There Amu was reconsidering what Mikki had told her. Mikki looked up to her as so did Amu. However Amu only looked some other way and Mikki cover her face with her hat.
"Ate red beans cakes. Bought some gifts. I'm satisfied," Yaya called when they were heading back as it was almost dark out.
"Yaya-chan?" Nadeshiko called.
Yaya faced her and smiled.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to buy!"
"That's terrible. Let's head back immediately!" Nadeshiko said.
"We most certainly have to," Aiko agreed following their plan.
"Isn't tomorrow okay?" Kuukai asked.
"Just come, come!" Yaya said pulling his arm as Aiko and Nadeshiko followed.
"Hey," Kuukai said.
"Amu-chan and Hotori-kun, you two should go on ahead!" Nadeshiko said.
"What's going on?" Amu asked confused.
"Who knows," Tadase answered, "Well, should we head back together?"
"Together?" Amu said all blushed.
As they went up the snowy hill Amu noticed that they started to pass by a cemetery.
"A graveyard," she said with fear in her voice.
"Are you scared?" Tadase asked making her react.
"Of course not! Monster and ghost don't exist!" she said with her pretending character.
"They must exist, since shugo chara exist too."
Amu put an even more scared face. Suddenly Tadase grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry. I'm here."
Amu began blushing slightly.
"Watch your step."
"O-Okay."
The three charas were watching smiling.
Amu's POV
We began walking as he still held my hand.
Seems like he might feel the throbbing of my heart through my hands. I hope I don't I start sweating. I-In any case, I should talk about something.
"Y-You know…" I said as he faced me.
"What?"
"U-Um," I paralyzed, "What was it? R-Right. Before, you said you like someone," I started playing with my free hand.
"Who would that be?"
Dummy. What'll I do if it opens some wounds from heartbreaks?
"Oh, that was about…"
He showed me a picture of him very little and a big cream white dog playing.
"A dog?"
"She's really a dog. Her name is Betty. We'd been together since I was born, but she died last year."
"So the person you liked was…"
"There's no doubt that she was the girl I loved the most. I'm not good at receiving confessions. So I always Chara Change and have Kiseki refuse them."
A slight blush came to his face that I noticed, "But lately, there has been a girl I'm very interested in. suddenly she appeared before me. Since we're both guardians, I thought we shouldn't, but I can't forget about her."
Does this mean…
"I'll say it openly, Hinamori-san."
"Yes?"
"Bright, a positive thinker, and really strong. It was the first time I'd met a girl like that. A girl like Amulet Heart!"
A few seconds of silence, "Pardon?"
"That means you love my Character-Transformed self?"
"L-Love" is bit too…"
I sighed and looked down. I felt disappointed.
Suddenly I heard something fall to the floor.
"What was that?" I threw myself and ended up hugging Tadase-kun and our faces were so close.
I pushed away and on to the nearest thing, "Sorry!"
I heard him giggle, "Its fine."
My regular self isn't seen as an object of love at all.
Nobody's POV
"Did we startle you?" Nadeshiko asked as the four came out from the back of a grave.
"Was that you guys?" Tadase asked.
"We shouldn't made that noise!" Yaya scolded.
"It was you fault. You wanted hear more clearly, "Aiko said crossing her arms.
"Really?" Kuukai said.
Nadeshiko just giggled.
"Well, let's go Hinamori-san," Tadase said.
When they arrived at the house everyone had gone to sleep.
Amu's POV
I couldn't sleep. I went outside the hall and sat there watching the snow fall and thinking. Now that I remember Aiko wasn't there when I woke up.
"Cold."
I put the blanket closer.
"What's wrong, Amu-chan?"
I saw Ran coming to were I was.
"I can't seem to sleep."
"Really?"
"Tadase-kun said that he likes Amulet Heart."
"That was surprising."
"Amulet Heart is not me."
"That's not true!"
"Don't try to comfort me."
"Amu-chan…"
"Is this what they call "unrequited love"?"
"Amu-chan!"
Ran then bumped Amu at the head all of a sudden.
"What was that for?"
"Amulet Heart is your would-be self. So, um…Inside of you, Amulet Heart exists, and…So therefore…"
"Ran?"
She started remembering the things Mikki had told about those potentials sleeping inside her.
"So you see…your would-be self is, um…"
She remembered what the old man had said, "Don't focus on finding a simple solution. Even a long journey starts with the first step."
"A long journey starts with the first step?"
"Right, right! That's it, that's it!"
Ran began dancing which made Amu laugh.
"Ran stop acting weird!"
"I'm not acting weird!"
Then she brought Ran close to her so she could be warm too.
"Thank you, Ran."
"Amu-chan!"
"So this is where you were," Aiko said behind the two.
"It's still the middle of the night," Su said rubbing her eyes.
"Come here too, you guys."
"Amu-chan!"
"My would-be self. It's still far off, but if I try hard, then maybe I will get closer."
"Yeah," Ran said.
"Definitely," Mikki said.
"You know, I remember there was a song my brother use to play for me when I was little. It was the most beautiful song I've ever heard," Aiko said still standing next to Amu, "I would say that it represents how everyone feels about changing and how anyone could be scared, but…it takes real courage to believe in oneself."
"Aiko?"
"Huh, what's wrong?" she said confused since Amu had never called her by her name before.
"Would you sing the song?"
Aiko smiled warmly, "Sure."
She sat down and prepared herself as she took a deep breath. She then began to sing softly and gently.
A child cries as of now
Because she's just afraid
Of what other things might happen now and then
But look up don't look down
There's still many chances
That you can show who you truly are
Inside of your heart
I can clearly see
A flower bud that will soon try to break free
But there is still some time
So that you can
Smile once again and show your happiness
Spread your wings and fly again
Clean your tears and try again
"It's as if every time he played one of those songs and my sister sang I felt like all my sorrows would disappear completely and I would just bring my hopes up. Those days were the happiest of all my life. It's when all of us were truly happy."
"It's a beautiful song."
"Thanks. Okay then," she said standing up "I'll go to sleep now."
"Aiko?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you teach me that song sometime?"
"Sure."
She left leaving Amu and her charas.
In the morning about six in the morning Amu was walking outside heading somewhere.
"I'm sleepy," Su said.
"It's still too early. Where are we going?" Ran asked.
"To fix what I couldn't do well yesterday."
While walking around the temple, the old man noticed Amu leaving.
Amu arrived at the snow sculpturing and tried to fix the gate that she had been working on. While molding it a piece of snow fell.
"I can't do this too well."
"You really don't want to Chara Change?" Mikki asked her.
"Right. I have to try. On my own, even if it's just a little."
"Amu-chan!" Mikki said.
"Go for it; go for it, Amu-chan!" Ran cheered.
"Go for it!" Su said.
Morning started to show as the sun rose.
"Amu-chan?" Nadeshiko's voice came.
"Why are you here?"
"I thought I would fix some of the bad parts. Amu-chan, you too?"
"Yeah. Let's work hard."
"Okay!"
"Huh?"
They both turn to find the other four coming.
"Amu-chi and Nadeshiko!" Yaya called.
"Yaya!"
"Don't tell me, the rest of you…" Nadeshiko said.
"I wanted to keep it a secret!" Yaya answered.
"But you guys beat us, eh?" Kuukai said.
"Everyone thought the same thing," Tadase called.
Everyone laughed.
"All right! Let's go!" Yaya called.
"Right!" everyone called.
As they started they all got there work further to finish.
"Even if it doesn't go the way I thought it would," Amu thought, "little by little…Even if it's just a little right now. I can get closer to my would-be self."
"I was wondering what all the fuss was this morning," The old man said at the in front of the entrance."
Finishing with the finals touches, Kiseki placed a red mini flag on the top of the tower.
"My palace is complete!"
"What the heck is this?" Kuukai said all shocked.
"Amu-chan's creation is definitely the gates of Hades," Ran said.
"Aiko made the exaggerated passage way," Ania called.
"And Kuukai mage soccer balls for some reason," Daichi explained.
"Nadeshiko's work is the Japanese-style rooftop," Temari said.
"Yaya-tan did the ribbons," Pepe said.
"And Tadase's aspiration is the grand tower! The world is ours!" Kiseki announced.
"How did it turn out like this?" Nadeshiko asked.
First Amu began to laugh them everybody started laughing. The prizes were then giving. Third place looked amazing and they agreed. Second place was wonderful and they clapped. The winner was breath taking but, "Why?"
"We didn't win after all," Kuukai said while they were walking back.
"That was obvious," Yaya called.
"But it was fun," Nadeshiko called.
"Yeah," Tadase said.
"Wasn't it?" Amu asked.
As they came close to the temple Kuukai noticed something.
"Gramps?"
"It's too bad you didn't win," he said as he led them somewhere.
"Oh well. But how did you know?"
"Well, I think it's good to try and do something for yourselves. I've made lunch for everyone today. Grandpa's special vegetarian diet for enlightenment, a full course!"
"Vegetarian diet?" Yaya said.
"And it's a full course?" Amu reminded.
"Fools! Don't act like it's your own house!"
"Well, I am hungry," Tadase said.
"I wonder what kind of food it is. Sounds fun!" Nadeshiko said.
"Okay, let's hurry and eat!" Kuukai called.
They all began to run towards the temple. As for their sculpture it got the best effort.
Hi hi next time will be the Christmas thingy
Aiko's B-day see ya next time
