Chance Encounters
Chapter 4
Amu opened the door to her friend Utau's place and went into her room. "Utau, wake up! It's time to go shopping for our party clothes," Amu said shaking her best friend's shoulder.
"Five more minutes Amu," Utau said as she rolled over to get a few more minutes of sleep.
Amu was having none of it, "Nope time to get up."
"Alright, but I want a double espresso latte," Utau muttered as she climbed out of bed.
Amu laughed, "Already got you one its right there on your nightstand."
"Have I told you that I love you, Amu," Utau asked after she took a sip of her coffee.
"Many times, now get dressed. I'll wait for you in the living room."
"Alright, I'll be down in a few."
As Amu walked into the living room she noticed that someone was already in there, and surprise, surprise it was Ikuto. The boy lay on the couch in a pair of boxer shorts sleeping. Amu blushed as she ran back into Utau's room and stuttered, "T-t-there's a boy on your couch."
"Oh! That's just my brother. He stays here some times."
"Yeah, funny thing Utau he's the guy that I've been telling you about."
Utau laughed thinking that this was perfect. "Well we'll deal with him later we have shopping to do remember?"

God knows how many hours later:
Amu and Utau stumble into Utau's house nearly falling because of the large amount of bags that they were carrying. "Ikuto come help me put these bags away," Utau called from the front door where she and Amu were trying to stop laughing.
"I'm coming sis," Ikuto called as he walked to the front door where he stopped dead at the sight of Amu, and this sent the two girls into a fresh fit of giggles. "Amu what are you doing here," he asked as his eyes widened.
"Oh! –giggle- didn't you know Utau is my best friend?"
"Oh!" Ikuto said as he grabbed a bunch of bags and high tailed it out of the room.
Amu turned to Utau, "Sorry, but I gotta go mom asked me to stay over and watch Ami. She's having friends over and mom and dad are going out of town."
Utau smiled, "No problem I'll see you later," Utau added with a devilish grin, "plus I get to tease my brother about you and him."
"Bye Utau," Amu said rolling her eyes as she walked out the door.

Amu lay and watched the television as she listened to her sister and her friends as they partied in Ami's room. Around midnight she dozed off. Ami left in the morning after her friends went home, and she went off to Utau's house the two girls were going to play match maker for their older siblings.
