"Hey kid."

Amu's eye twitched as she sat in Potions. She was trying her hardest to ignore the person that was beside her. She stared at the board waiting for the teacher to get off the phone and to begin the lesson. She would do anything to avoid talking to him.

"Aaaaammmuuu…."

Once again she ignored him. She didn't know why he was sitting beside her; there were other lab tables, but no, he had to sit next to her. The day before Yaya had sat with her, but since this guy sat down Yaya had to go sit with Kukai, and now they both were staring at her and the boy next to her.

She started to shake her foot; anything to distract her would be worth it. She felt something mess with her hair and she knew he was playing with her pink locks. He was becoming very annoying.

"Did I do something to make you mad, Amu?" he was trying to sound innocent, but she could hear the humor in his comment and she knew he was probably laughing in the inside.

She finally looked at him; his blue eyes sparked and she knew he was becoming amused. She glared at him and wore a huge frown on her face. "You're annoying me so stop that."

His fingers continued to play with her hair as he smirked. "But Amu…after yesterday I thought we had something special," he states obviously teasing her.

"The only thing special about you is that you're the first person I actually hate," she spat slapping his hand so that he dropped her hair. He was really getting on her nerves.

"Ah, Amu…" Ikuto claimed trying to sound as if she hurt his feelings. He leaned towards her causing Amu to become uncomfortable because of how close he was to her face. "Can't we put that behind us? You can't really hate me."

She could feel herself begin to boil; he really knew how to push her buttons. "No I can't put that behind me, what you did was unforgiveable! And yes I can really hate you, and I will make you pay for what you did! Now will you leave me alone?" she growled, she pounded one of her hands on the table to make him understand how angry she was. She wasn't toying around, she was really pissed off.

"I think what I did yesterday wasn't that bad, and that was my payback for your heavy ass falling on me while I was taking a cat nap," he stated, his eyes staring into her own; the look he gave her could have made any other girl fall for his charm, but not Amu, he was becoming her least favorite person. "So if you get even for yesterday then I just have to get my revenge for whatever you do and the cycle will continue…so if you think about it we will be spending a lot of time with each other and thinking about one another because you're going to have to think of ways to get me back, and that's not easy, and I'll be thinking about you, trying to figure out ways to get you to fall for my charm and good looks."

Amu's face turned red with anger. Was he serious? He was really trying to mess with her head, and she cannot let him get what he wants. "You're unbelievable," she spat as she turned around in her seat so that she was facing away from him again. "I'm not playing this game, so leave me alone. Seriously."

"I don't think I will," he claimed with a smirk, "Because I want to play this game. It will be fun."

Inside Amu was screaming, why was this happening to her? Why couldn't this guy bother somebody else? She just wanted to study magic, get through with school, and go back home to the human world. Miki and Ran looked at her with concern in their eyes; they could tell Amu was unhappy.

"Alright everyone," the teacher finally says standing up, "Class is in session."

And with those words, Amu felt relieved because for an hour the pain-in-her-ass cat would leave her alone and she could have peace. She opened her potions book and began to listen and follow along with the teacher. She stayed so focus in the reading so that she could make it seem that there was no one sitting right next to her and that it was just her, Ran, and Miki.

"Alright class tonight's home is one of the easiest potions known, and it is one that isn't very useful, but it won't be difficult for you to create. You will need to test it out and write a one page paper over what you experienced with the potion and you're steps to making it and such. You will also have to bring a small sample so that I can make sure you made it correctly," the professor stated to the room. "Tonight's homework is the Laughter Potion."

"Laughter Potion?" Yaya questioned for the whole class, except a few who had been in Seiko for a year or so.

"Yes. It's a potion that makes one laugh continuously for no reason as at all," the teacher explains, "it is truly a pointless potion. With the right amount of ingredients you will only laugh for five minutes which is plenty. So please read your book carefully so you do not overly do it."

And with that class was dismissed and the students exited the room, Amu quickly joining Yaya and Kukai. The three of them continued walking down the hallway when something fell out of Amu's bag causing them all to stop and look. Amu's third egg and final egg had fallen out. Amu bent down to pick it up but the egg moved and started hovering down the hall.

"Oh man, come on!" Amu shouted as she chased after it, Yaya and Kukai right behind her.

0000000Amu's P.O.V 0000000

Why is everything happening like this? I mean couldn't my egg just hatch and be like 'Hi! I'm your third chara! Blah blah!' I mean I did not feel up to chasing an egg around campus! Yaya, Kukai, and I were chasing the darn egg around the court yard, each of us trying to jump and catch it, but no matter what none of us could grab it. Ran and Miki were also trying to help us catch my final chara who will help me make it through this year.

"Hey you egg, stop!" Yaya shouts as she chases after it, her arms flapping like crazy as if she was trying to take off and fly. "Stop being mean to Amu-chii!"

Behind me I could hear Kukai chuckle and I realize for the first time, I really have people I can call 'friends'. I smile and help Yaya by flapping my arms like crazy and we all are laughing together. The egg moves so quickly for a split second we lost it.

When we finally locate the egg its heading to the dorms and we all run after it, on the way, we see Nagihiko and Tadase and they decide to help us with this crazy egg. We follow it up stairs and through hallways and finally the thing stops at my dorm room door just as it is opening and Nadeshiko steps out.

"Oops!" She says stepping aside as the egg passes by her, we all slowly follow the egg inside and there it was floating in the air facing us and we all can hear giggles coming from the egg.

"You're funny, Amu-chan!" Her voice is super sweet and pure; different from Ran's active full of spunk voice and Miki's softer and somewhat deeper voice.

I smile and realize that my final egg is about to hatch and I will get to meet my third chara. I'm exactly really excited and hoping she will just pop out of her egg.

The egg hatches and when the smoke and stuff clears we all see a little blonde chara dressed in a green witch costume like Ran's pink and Miki's blue.

"I'm Suu, desu! Nice to finally meet you Amu-chan!"

Ran floats over and grabs Suu in a hug and shouts, "Finally!"

Everyone in the room has a smile on their face.

"You did Hinamori-san," Tadase starts putting a hand on my shoulder, making me blush. "You have all three of your charas now, you're ready for Seiko has waiting for you."

Everyone nods agreeing with him. I smile and nod too.

"So Amu-chan, I overheard we have potion assignment, desu," Suu claims floating up to me.

"Hai, we do," I nod remembering that I very well have homework that will be needed to get finished tonight.

"Well hurry up and finish your other classes, because I love potions!" Suu beams as she twirls in the school. "I can't wait to help you, desu!"

After school. Amu's grandma's house

Yaya and I both went over to my grandma's house to do our assignment. My grandma was happy to let use you're her ingredients and her house. She of course decided to make us tea so that we would have time do our work by ourselves in peace, or a somewhat form of peace anyways.

"I got the book!" Suu beams as she, Ran, Miki, and Pepe bring my potion book over to where Yaya and I were observing the thousands upon thousands of ingredients my grandmother had.

She places the book on grandma's kiosk and opens it, instantly turning the pages. "Now the book is listed in alphabet order….ahh found it!" she claims with a big smile on her face.

"Let me see!" Pepe shouts floating over to Suu and looking over the book. "Ohh we need these ingredients." Pepe goes and grabs some ingredients for Yaya.

"Well good luck, Amu-chii, I'll be over here at this table," Yaya states sticking her tongue out as she walks to the small table about a yard away from mine.

"Suu, let me see too," Ran says as she hovers over the book, Miki right behind her.

"Come on guys, gather the ingredients," I order them so that would stop staring at the book.

"Now we need to make sure we get the right ingredients and the right amount, just one mess up could cause us to make a different potion, desu," Suu warns with one of her fingers. She grabs a bunch of different herbs that we had set on the table.

"Ok, Ran, what were the other ingredients, which are not herbs?" Suu asks as she drops three little leaves in front of me.

I decide this is a good time for me to have a seat and watch Suu do what Suu does best.

"Um…you need a butterfly's wing! Aw how sad!" Ran says basically shouting.

Miki sits down by me and smiles, "We need to mash these leaves."

"Herbs, Miki, herbs," Suu corrects, "butterfly's wing? What else Ran?

"Um…" Ran observes the page really focusing. "A sweetheart candy piece."

I tilt my head looking at Suu and she shrugs as she grabs the other object setting it down by the wing.

I grab one of the herbs and carefully use a 'lucky rock', apparently each spell requires a different rock that has been chanted, to 'mash' it like Miki said.

Ran continues to read off some off the ingredients and Miki and I continue to order them into the amounts that we needed. We broke or mashed what needed to be or we left the ingredient alone completely as directed by Ran who had her nose in the book still.

We gather our ingredients and place them in a small pot. Suu brought over a small bottle of some liquid and says, "Enchanted water, every potion needs a certain amount of this or it won't work." She pours it in and grabs a spoon to start stirring.

"Don't forget to add a 'dash' of sugar while stirring!" Ran orders Suu.

I grab a dash of sugar and flick it in the pot, once the sugar landed inside a little buff of red smoke appeared and instantly I could smell something super sweet.

I hear Yaya laughing and I turn around to look at her. She had a little cup in her hand and she was on the floor rolling all over the place. And I knew she had tried her successful potion. I smile and pick up a small cup and pour a little bit of my potion into it.

"Now I don't think this looks right, desu," Suu mumbles just as I take my drink and swallow the warm liquid that made my stomach do cartwheels, and then nothing.

I wasn't laughing at all, which obviously meant we had messed up.

All eyes, besides Yaya's who was still on the floor laughing, turned to Ran.

"What did we do wrong Ran?" I finally ask standing up.

"Nothing," Ran answers looking in the book going over the ingredients again. "We did everything right."

Suu floats over and joins Ran. "Oh, desu, we did the potion right; we just did the wrong potion. Did you turn the page Ran?" she asks, and I start to panic what potion did we do then?

"No, this is the potion we're suppose to do," Ran states a hand on her hip, "Right?"

Suu shook her head and looked at me with a nervous smile.

"Ran, what potion did we just d-do?" I ask stuttering on finishing my sentence, too scared to on wanting to know the answer.

"Uh…" she starts, "the love potion!"

In the background I hear Yaya's giggles get worse, this time she probably was seriously laughing. I sweat-drop and start to really panic.

"L-love potion?"

Ran and Suu nod and Suu starts to explain what was going to happen to me. "It last a whole 24 hours, thank goodness we didn't use anymore than we did, or else we would be in trouble, desu. You just can't look at anyone of the male gender for 24 hours and you'll be fine!"

"I have to go to class in the morning!" I shout, I was now at the point of freaking out.

"Well then just fine the right guy to look at. Because the first boy you see will be the one you will be all la-la over," Miki states with a shrug. "So just explain to your friends and have one of those boys come over and then he'll understand that it's just the potion and everything will be taken care of.

"It's not that simple Miki," I say biting down on my lip. "I don't want anyone in the school seeing me act like…like…"

"A love obsessed freak?" Miki asks.

"How bad is a 'love obsessed freak'? Explain," I demand scared off what they were going to tell me next. Yaya's laughs stop and I know she is back to normal.

"You know, you'll be like a fan-girl in those manga you read," Ran answers as she hovers to me. She pats my back. "It's not that bad."

"For you," I grumble.

Yaya steps up beside us. "Don't worry Amu-chii I'll explain to everyone of our problem, but right now we need to make another potion, the right potion for class," she says softly. And I knew when she meant 'our problem' she meant she and everyone would be there for me to help me through this mess, which was great.

"Ok. Let's get this Laughter Potion right," I say agreeing.

Yaya pours the rest of the love potion in a test tube and smiles at me. "For future assignments," she states, "This will definitely be a third year's project. So I'm gonna keep this!"

"Cheater," I mumble with laughter. And with that we did the Laughter Potion. I couldn't sample it because I already had a potion in my system and I guess the two are not a good match for if I would have been taken it the love potion would last longer and I would have laughed longer than five minutes, it would have been more like five hours. Therefore, I gave the potion for my grandma sample it and I wrote my paper explaining all what had happened this night and I knew my teacher would laugh at my failure. Oh well, my friends are going to help me through tomorrow, so hopefully it won't be so bad.
