Ikuto's day started off as usual, get up, have breakfast, take a shower and watch Yoru stumble out of bed, but for some reason today's regular morning activities seemed odd. Ikuto was in a cheerful mood, he rarely gets complimented on his violin playing let alone from a girl he has had is eye on for a while. On this insignificant thought, Ikuto decided to do his usual tradition when Amu does something nice to him and buy her a bag full of random things she might like.

"Oi, Yoru… We are going to the jewelry store just down the road okay." Ikuto said as he jumped off the couch and grabbed his wallet.

"What for Ikuto… You don't wear jewelry." Yoru mumbled rubbing his eyes.

"I am going to buy Amu some things as a thank you present for bringing my violin case with you asleep in it. If it wasn't for her you would still be in the park…" Ikuto explained as he started to guide Yoru to the front door.

"Fine… But I am not paying for ANYTHING! You hear me Ikuto!" Yoru shouted as he hid his purse shaped like a mouse behind his back.

They both walked out the door and had a comfortable stroll to the end of the street where the corner shops were just across from the park. Ikuto and Yoru both had open eyes of amazement as they walked inside and saw the shiny jewelry that was fairly cheap, which was good in Ikuto's case since he had hardly any money.

"Hey Ikuto!~ Amu would like this for sure!" Yoru yelled as he pointed down at a charm bracelet. It was a silver simple chain bracelet with lots of little charms on it that represented good luck. Ikuto stared at the bracelet for about 10 minutes before Yoru had found another object that attracted his attention.

"Ikuto! I found another one Amu might like!" Ikuto momentarily stopped looking at the pretty charm bracelet and had moved towards other fancy object that Yoru seemed to like.

"Wow! Yoru you are right! It's perfect!" Ikuto said with absolute pleasure as the item in front of him glistened with the sunlight and had Amu's name written all over it. Not literally of course.

Ikuto approached the shop owner and pointed at the item on display in the far corner of the store.

"Very nice choice sir!~ would you like to gift wrap it?" The owner said while taking the item out of the display case and placing it on the purchase desk.

"No thank you… it will be fine in a box~." Ikuto replied while taking the money needed to pay for it out of his wallet.

Ikuto grabbed the bag that the owner put it in and started to walk towards the local fish and chip shop two blocks down from the jewelers. Yoru immediately noticed what Ikuto was doing because he had that look on his face. The 'what will I have for lunch' look which Yoru always seems to catch. They walked into the store and Ikuto's face immediately went flushed and a huge smile emerged onto his face.

"I'll have 6 serves of every fish you sell! Including 7 Fish Sticks!" Ikuto exclaimed as his eyes darted across the menu boards to see all the delights he was getting. Yoru cheered him on as he knew that 3 of each would be his.

Ikuto paid the man behind the counter and sat down with his huge smile still plastered on his face. Yoru's eyes turned to hearts when the smell of deep fried battered fish filled the small shop to every inch. They were in pure bliss when the keeper butted in and asked them the simple question everyone gets when they go to a fish and chip shop.

"Did you want chicken salt?"

Ikuto quietly said yes as the fish was dusted with the chosen salt and wrapped up in a large piece of paper and given to the excited pair.

"Come again soon!" The shopkeeper yelled as Ikuto and Yoru skipped out the door.

Ikuto decided to walk to the park with their rather huge pile of wrapped up fish items and eat. Ikuto loved the park, it was such a relaxing place to be. Yoru quickly pointed out the rocks with the large waterfall behind them and they both decided to eat there.

About half an hour later the fish was gone and there sat a very full and happy Yoru and Ikuto. While Ikuto was eating though he could only think of what Amu's reaction to the present would be. Ikuto quickly jumped off the rock he was using as his seat and pointed dramatically at the direction of Amu's house.

"C'mon Yoru! Let's GO!" Ikuto shouted as he began to march off in the direction he suggested.

"Erm… Ikuto? Amu's house is that way…" Yoru mumbled as he pointed in the opposite direction.

"I knew that… I was just testing your skills." Ikuto stated as he tried to cover up a very stupid mistake.

They walked around blocks and past houses for about half an hour before they stopped dead in front of Amu's house. Ikuto wanted to surprise her so he jumped up onto her balcony and tapped on the glass door.

"WAAAAAH! I-Ikuto! What are you doing here!" Amu screamed as she came over to unlock her door.

"I came to give you something' Ikuto murmured as he looked the opposite way.

"Go stand in front of the mirror…"

Amu did as he said and placed herself dead center in front of the mirror. Ikuto picked up the small bag he was carrying and walked over towards her.

"Close your eyes"

Again Amu followed his orders as he pulled out the item from the small bag. He stood in front of her so he was blocking her stationary reflection in the mirror. Gently he wrapped his arms around the girl's neck and clipped the item into position making sure not to get her hair caught.

"There…" he said stepping out of the way of the mirror…

"Take a look"

A long pause covered the room as Amu slowly opened her eyes to reveal the stunning object that was now dressing her neck.

"Oh wow! It's so pretty!"
