Did you know the last time I ever finished the chapter was 2 months ago? Well apparently I just kept wriintg, and writing and writing, until I reached 21 pages in size 8 Ariel. Doesn't sound FUN? XD And also because of constant writer's block, enjoy the random blooper/out takes XD
Well to those who may attempt this it ISN'T. But luckily for you reading people, you get uh….um…hold on.
You get 3 new chapters! But I'm too lazy (and busy) to post them all tonight so you'll have to wait in suspense! Now THAT sounds fun XD
P.S. It's properly formatted for once xD
I do not own Shugo Chara! All I own is Arisa-chan, and maybe like, a third of Aika.

A. R. I. S. A: The After Party
Purple. Chocolate. Stars
Before departing from Shinyu's house to school the next day, they triple checked to make sure her state mentality was still in check.
"So you're sure you're going to be okay at school right?" Arisa asked, throwing her possessions into a bag. Shinyu nodded.
Bidding goodbye to Daisy, the girls shut the door and proceeded in different directions.
Shinyu was walking to the bus stop that'll take her to her high school, Tsukiga claimed she had errands to run so that left Arisa and Aika to walk to school together.
Not being much of a morning person, Arisa dragged her feet as she walked, yawning in sync with Koorei who floated lazily next to her. Aika on the other hand, isn't a morning person either, but always has too much energy all the time.
"Arisa, what did we have for homework? Did we have a test? Did you study??" She demanded at the sleepwalking girl next to her.
Arisa yawned again, and answered in the order of her questions, "No clue, probably not and no."
Aika heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank god! That makes me feel so much better."
The brunette quirked a brow at her friend, "Yo, what's that supposed to mean?"
Aika just shrugged, leaving Arisa to wallow in the silence…and nearly fall asleep while walking.
They walked in silence for a while until someone walked directly in front of them. Before Arisa could react, she nearly collided into the person, but instead of just bluntly falling to the ground, she was pulled back by Aika.
Arisa ficused her vision on what was in front of her. Mere millimetres from her face was the sharp end of a deadly scythe, that she nearly just walked into.
Regaining her senses, she lunged back with an expression of shock on her face. Chocolate brown eyes clashed with aqua as she glared hard at the boy in front of them.
"Rapist."
"Princess."
Before Arisa could lash out at the teenager, Aika grabbed her by the arm somehow pulling her back.
"Arisa, what are you doing? You shouldn't just randomly attack people!" Aika scolded.
Arisa shrugged, not caring and pfft-ed at her friend, "Sorry…but just seeing him gives me the urge to kick his ass."
Their glares locked, Ikuto's eyes remaining expressionless, while Arisa's shone with danger. Aika took a step back, slightly intimidated by the tension in the air.
"I like pie."
"Well I like cake."
"Pie is cooler!"
"Shut up!"
"Why aren't you fighting?" Aika asked in the middle of their...argument(?).
They stared at her, "Cause pie is cooler than cake."
Suddenly Yoru appeared from behind Ikuto and whacked him on the head with his large kitty paws. "Ikuto, nya, you're supposed to be recruiting Arisa-chan for Easter!"
Ikuto pouted slightly, "But she dissed the cake."
Shinyu (who randomly appeared) yelled at them, "What the fell's happening to the chapter???"
Arisa stared at her for a moment, then sighed, "Fiiiiiine, be mean."
~*~
Their glares locked, Ikuto's eyes remaining expressionless, while Arisa's shone with danger. Aika took a step back, slightly intimidated by the tension in the air.
"Hoshiwa Arisa, you are to…join the dark side; we have cake."
"No way! I like PIE! Get it straight stupid-face!"
Shinyu glared at them (where did she even come from?) "Would you actually be serious for once??"
~*~
Their glares locked, Ikuto's eyes remaining expressionless, while Arisa's shone with danger. Aika took a step back, slightly intimidated by the tension in the air.
"Hoshiwa Arisa, you are to join Easter whether you like it or not." Ikuto stated calmly. Arisa's face twisted as she looked at him, his eyes emotionless, "Eh? That's weird, because I really don't want to."
"Then fight."
Ikuto charged forward, his death scythe in hand, ready to slash anything in its way.
And as Joyce suffers another writer's block, please enjoy…Tadase braiding Nagihiko's hair!
Or not. I need a therapist.
-sigh-

Their glares locked, Ikuto's eyes remaining expressionless, while Arisa's shone with danger. Aika took a step back, slightly intimidated by the tension in the air.
"Hoshiwa Arisa, you are to join Easter whether you like it or not." Ikuto stated calmly. Arisa's face twisted as she looked at him, his eyes emotionless, "Eh? That's weird, because I really don't want to."
"Then fight."
Ikuto charged forward, his death scythe in hand, ready to slash anything in its way. But sadly for him, before he could reach Arisa who was awaker at the moment, his scythe was blocked by Aika.
Aika, who decided to intervene, grasped the flame sword in her hands tightly.
The collision of the two weapons suddenly generated…something and caused a really big explosion.
Once the dust and flames cleared, Arisa sat up, and looked around. Right next to her, was Ikuto's scythe implanted into the ground.
Several feet away from her was Ikuto with two scythes in his hands, connected by a chain and Aika standing across from him with her sword miraculously, still intact.
"What was that for you douche?!" Aika screamed at him, fuming.
Without responding, he dashed forward, swinging the connected scythes dangerously around him. Aika jumped out of the way, confused.
"Ikuto, what are you doing? I-if you keep attacking me," she dodged another attack, "I'm telling Utau!"
He stopped for a second, staring deep into her, but instead of responding to her question, he said, "Suzuki Aika, re-join Easter. You don't have a choice."
Aika tried ignoring her ever active conscience and charged again at Ikuto, without exchanging a single word to him.
Sparks flew, and suddenly, blood was drawn and Aika stepped back, quickly inspecting the wound at her side.
Though in that second, Ikuto launched his scythe at her, constricting her of any movements. She struggled in the metal chain's grasp, "Ikuto, stop!"
Her mind then became fuzzy as she started losing herself in her own thoughts. On the edge of consciousness, the last thought she felt was, "Why…"
But a split second before she could escape into unconsciousness, a sudden blast of blue energy shook her from her relapse. Aika's aqua blue eyes shot open and she was able to move her limbs freely. On the ground by her, was Ikuto, who was thrown over by the force.
She looked in the direction the blast had come from. Arisa, who was previously sitting dumbly on the ground, amidst the rubble around her, had character transformed with Koorei and held a pair of white shotguns with one of them pointed at Ikuto.
"Holy bageebers Aika, there's no point screaming if he's not going to talk back," Arisa stated lowering the weapon and reloading it.
Aika's eyes shone with worry as she stared at Ikuto. When she took a step forward to check on him, Arisa called her over, "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure these aren't lethal."
Ikuto's body suddenly shot up, launching the scythe at Arisa this time. She jumped up, and shot another blast at him, which he dodged.
"See Aika? If they were lethal, he wouldn't be trying to kill me right now!" Arisa called as she air-skated, with the flying scythe following closely behind her.
It trailed her through sharp turns, loop-de-loops and sudden drops. Though finally, the unexpected happened; Ikuto ran out of chain.
Arisa soared over to the Tsukiyomi who was holding the second scythe in his hand. When he swung it dangerously close to her, she flinched, but did her best to remain calm.
As he waited for her to make a move, she suddenly lifted one of her armed guns and pointed it at his face.
"ARISA!" Aika screamed at her.
"Chill Aika, I'm not going to shoot him since from this close, it'd probably be lethal." Arisa told her.
Aika shrank back, scared.
Arisa stared at Ikuto with a confused expression, looking into his dull eyes.
"Tsukyomi, what's your problem man? Just a few days ago you were messing with my head and calling me princess, but now you're attacking us like some mentally retarded weirdo!" Arisa scolded.
"…Join Easter."
The chain whipped around her suddenly, disabling any of her movements.
She gasped. Her ears could hear her Charas calling her name, trying to get her to change with them so could break out of her prison. But she couldn't even convince her vocal cords to vibrate and produce sounds. [Written by Mikomi-oneechan for me, cause she's awesome :3]
"AIKA; FREAKIN' DO SOMETHING!!"
The blue haired girl hesitated, staring at the scene in fear; her new friend in chains and her life long friend, the one constricting her. She swallowed hard, then shut her eyes. After a few seconds, she reopened them, twiddling with the pendant around her neck.
"Atashi no kokoro…UNLOCK!"
The pendant around her neck glowed orange and she was quickly engulfed by the light.
Ikuto stared in wonder and shock. From his previous experience with Aika, the last time she had transformed, her emotions became unstable and she went on a rampage.
He shook his head and scolded himself, don't think; just fight.
The light particles dispersed and revealed Aika. Her hair was tied in two long pigtails and she wore a black graduation hat with a sun dangling from it.
She wore a white dress t-shirt with poofy sleeves and around her neck was a simple red tie that was tightly knotted. Below her dress shirt was a flappy red skirt and white stockings underneath with a pair of black dress shoes at her feet.
She glared hard at Ikuto, but inside she was deeply regretting what she was about to do.
Her arm stretched out to her side, a bright red light appearing and taking the form of a sword. Instead of being constructed of flames, the metal was shining with fiery colours. Surrounding her above her head, emerging from bright red flames were five extra-long, extra-sharpened, HB, regulated, yellow…pencils.
She held the sword in her hands, not really having much upper-body strength. She concentrated hard, resisting the power of the transformation from overcoming her mind.
Ikuto looked at her, trying his best to remain as thoughtless as possible. It was defiantly much easier hurting people close to you if you were brainwashed.
He summoned his original scythe in his other hand, while the other held onto the chain Arisa was struggling against.
Aika swallowed hard, nervous. Just then, the worst thing to happen; happened, her conscience had suddenly began nagging her.
Aika, what are you doing? You can't hurt Ikuto! What about all the times he'd helped you, and what about all those times that he made you laugh? He's your FRIEND! You can't hurt him like this!
A few tears welled up in her azure eyes, though her guilt-trip was suddenly interrupted by Arisa, crying out in pain.
"DANM IT AIKA! HURRY UP!!"
The chain tightened around her arms and torso, restricting little to no air flow through Arisa, but when she suddenly chocked, Aika ran forward, sprinting with all her might.
Her sword sliced through Ikuto's chain easily, her eyes burning with a familiar flame. She glared hard at Ikuto and dashed at him. Though she wasn't very good at sports, she was an incredibly fast runner.
Ikuto's eyes widened with shock and fear all at once. He released the sliced chain and brought the scythe up in front of him in order to block the attack, and to attack back.
But before he could even comprehend it, Aika had side stepped behind him and held the sword high over her head, her eyes burning with a killing intent.
For the first time in a long time, Ikuto was scared; scared he was going to die, scared he was going to loose his friend, and scared to have lost his life to his best friend.
Bracing for the impact, he squeezed his eyes shut. In the background, you could hear Arisa shouting at Aika, demanding for her to stop. Aika's mind was dark and empty; no thoughts going through at all. It was final; she had gotten completely possessed just like the last time she had ever transformed.
