Those that read my story Only They Can See should recognize a character here. Speaking of which, I don't like to paint Tadase in a negative light but...I see him slightly negatively and so I naturally write him in a negative light. Not nearly how others write him as a evil guy but I don't like him so he's often negative but I think nothing I've written is out of character. I love the last line so much!

Amu relaxed against her desk, holding her face in her hand. She had nothing to do right now on a break. Glancing to the side as someone came up to her it was one of her classmates. The girl had long black hair and light gray eyes.

"Hello," the girl whispered looking at her shyly. "My...my name's Kikyo, your Hinamouri Amu, right? The Cool & Spicy student?"

Amu's red X clip turned into a pink heart and she smiled nicely at the girl. "Yes, that's me. It is nice to meet you Kikyo-san." Kikyo smiled at her before taking her seat which was assigned to sit beside Amu. Amu smiled nicely at the shy girl and she smiled back. She remembered how it felt the first day of a brand new school.

Later at the Royal Gardens as they headed out to the woods since Miki and Musashi both had sensed something and saw an X Egg. Eyes narrowing Amu screamed for Ran, one X Egg is easy to take care of.

Amu transformed, she wore light and dark pink sneakers and right over that light pink leg warmers held with dark pink and red with a heart on each toward away from the inside of her leg. She wear light pink skirt with dark pink decal and a matching pink sleeveless shirt that shows her stomach. She wears an arm band on each arm that matches the bands that held her leg warmers complete with a heart. Around her neck is a red bow tied to the side on her left and reaches her knees, and a short matching bow around her waist tied to the same side that held her Eggs. Her Humpty Lock shines with pink light, and she has pink pompoms with red hearts in them. Her hair is held in a ponytail with a pink sun visor and a heart on it.

"Amulet Heart!" She called and Ran's voice echoed hers.

Amu easily dispatches the X Egg, it isn't the hardest to do especially since it wasn't forced, this was obviously a natural X Egg instead of being forced to become an X Egg.

Finishing she sighed and glanced back to see her friends. "What?" She asked turning to them, they shrugged and muttered nothing before all turning but Tadase stayed, blushing madly.

"What is it, Tadase-kun?" Amu asked as he didn't go. None of their friends really noticed it though, since they were all talking happily.

"Amu...Amulet Heart," Tadase said blushing so hard that it seemed to match his eyes and Amu almost sweat dropped.

Ah, so that's it. She thought, she knew if she wanted to be with Tadase now would be the time to. Now would be the time to make a plan for attack. He had admitted to liking her like this, that he wanted to see her as this.

However Amu couldn't bring herself to even want to do this. How could she want to be with a guy when he only liked her when she was in a cheerleader outfit, when her personality was only a certain way and she couldn't be like that.

"What is it?" Amu asked, she knew she had to do it. She could feel the blue Egg of Miki's wiggling slightly to tell her what to do. She knew, she had to face him, like this, and get over him completely. She already was mostly over him, she didn't know when it happened, it happened slowly but slowly she stopped seeing stars in her eyes and heart beating fast when she was around.

She wondered briefly when that happened but realized it started when he first did his Character Change. When she thought about who it was she liked the first person who popped into her head was Ikuto, she tried to think about when that happened and it was when he brought her the snacks as compensation for breaking her tart-even though it was mostly Nadeshiko's fault. Or Nagihiko actually, whatever.

"Uh...I just...well." Tadase said starting at her with a blush. Amu sighed, this would take awhile.

"Tadase-kun, you like me as Amulet Heart right?" She asked and he hesitantly nodded, he had confessed to that already. "My question is-why?" She asked and he looked at her shocked. "Amulet Heart, she isn't even technically real, she is me-but only a part of me. You like someone who doesn't' exist." She said shaking her head sadly at him.

"Uh...well...I...I do like you though." He said and Amu just shook her head, looking at him with pity.

"Listen Tadase-kun, I liked you once, it was actually Ran who forced the confession to you and in a way Amulet Heart." She said as Tadase blushed even darker, "but I didn't like you-not really. I liked the...uh...outside character of yours." Amu said quickly keeping herself from saying prince.

"I do honestly like you, Amulet Heart...no, I mean Amu-chan." Amu smiled at him gently as her transformation was undone.

"I like you to Tadase-kun, as a friend." She said simply rubbing her arm, "we can be friends, right?" She said as they started walking.

"Of course Amu-chan." Tadase said glancing at her, "I'm not going to give up though." He said and Amu shook her head at him. Boys, they couldn't pay attention to you and as soon as your over them they realize that your the one for them. That's how you can tell the difference from boys and men her mama had once said.

In a tree, unseen by either Tadase or Amu, Ikuto smirked.

I know this is a little short and I'm sorry. However I had to be careful to not make it too anti-tadamu or anything. I do like Tadase it's just that his likeing Amulet Heart but not liking Amu annoys me, just like how Utau with a brother complex annoys me while otherwise I like her.

I couldn't help but add Ikuto in there in the next one, the little kitty stalker. Cats stalk their prey and Ikuto likes Amu a lot. I've got to stop making him a stalker...
