Angel-chan: Yo I'm back *grins*

Ahiru: WOW you finally updated.

Fakir: Yeah. I though you were going to take a longer time to update.

Angel-chan: Yeah. Me too, but I have a notebook and well I'm finding time to write the chapters!

Ahiru: Well none the less xXxStrawberryAngelxXx does not own Princess Tutu or Shugo Chara! But her own character Angel which is herself.

Angel-chan: Enjoy *smiles

~.:Normal POV:.~

Utau looked at Angel, surprised to see her old friend at the café. She sprang up and hugged the living daylights out of Angel. "Angel! I've missed you so much. It's been almost two years since I last saw you." Angel hugged her back and nodded.

"Yeah…but the key word is almost. So how are things with Kukai?" Utau blushed. She gave a small smile to Angel and fidgeted a little where she was standing.

"We're…Doing…Great…" She paused and her face turn even more red, who knows what was going through her head? "And we're getting…married …in a few months."

Ahiru smiled at the news, even though she knew already, but seeing Utau saying it again it just made her smile. Angel on the other hand squealed at the news and quickly gave Utau another hug.

"CONGRATS!…Finally! It's about time that air head of a soccer player popped the question." When Angel finished saying that Kukai walked into the room. Kukai has brunette spiky hair with beautiful green eyes. His skin was a creamy tone, much like his fiancé's. The two of them were perfectly matched.

"ANGEL! Long time no see girl." Both Angel and Kukai did their special hand shake that only Ahiru and Utau know about. In the end the two old friends showed off their spectacular grins.

"So I hear your getting married, Kukai~" Angel teased Kukai, a smirk plastered on her face, making Kukai blush lightly.

"Ye…yeah you know it. And I want you to…" Kukai went up to Angel and whispered in her ear. Angel smiled at what she heard and nodded. Now, as for Ahiru, she was going to her special room, which was in the backyard. When she got there she saw a two story building, well more like a house. The house looked brand new, like if it was just made out of the blue.

In fact Amu and Ikuto had this house made for Ahiru and the rest of the gang to practice their talents. Ahiru's special room was on the top floor all the way at the end of the hall. When opening the door you saw that the room was lit by the sun's light, coming in from the floor to ceiling windows. Ahiru was still in her school uniform, but none the less she put on her point ballet shoes and started to stretch.

Once done, she clapped her hands twice and, music started to play. Her feet started to move along with the music. Halfway through the song Ahiru noticed that the sun was going down. She looked out the window and saw that the moon was full. A smile appeared on her face as she ran out of the ballet room to her room. When she got to her room she made a beeline for her bed. Groping under her pillow she found a necklace with a single red jewel. She was so distracted that she didn't notice the three new employees standing by the back door. The trio wondered what she was doing, so they followed her into the building.

~With Ahiru~

Ahiru looked out into the night sky and saw the moon shining bright. She put on the necklace. The moonlight shined on the red jewel and it started to glow crimson hue. Ahiru was taken into the air, water covered her body and formed an egg. The egg of water was covered by some golden feathers, which disappeared within seconds, making the water clear. The water burst, revealing a beautiful white swan.

The swan was, in fact, Ahiru. Her long orange hair was shortened to her neck, the lower half becoming a feathery white. Her school clothes were replaced with, what looked like, a prima ballerina tutu. It was strapless and at the hem of the tutu there was a pink fabric. (Angel-chan: I hope you guys found out that this is the transformation of the anime show)

She looked breathtaking, like a swan princess. Ahiru let out a sigh. "It's good to be myself again. Even though this is not my body…" She let out another sigh and clapped her hands, music started once again.

~Down Stairs~

The three looked around in amazement. The inside of the house was breathtaking; The inside of the house looked just like it would look like when you enter a brand new mansion everything was crystal. An old looking chandelier was hanging from the ceiling looking as old as it looked it was beautiful to look at. The walls that divided the living room and dining room were made out of crystal allowing you to have a view inside of the two rooms the furniture look to be well taken care of they look to be antics. Everything in the house look to be something that you could never replace. They were about to explore the rooms when they were stopped by the sound of music playing. The three followed the music, it led them to the second floor and down the hall.

They opened the door to the room that was filled with music, only to see a dancing white swan. The music that was playing was one of Ahiru's favorites; it was Moonlight Sonata. The white swan was dancing the same way Ahiru did back at the day she was doing the "Challenge," but there were more moves into the dance then the last time. Ahiru had been holding back, so that the popular's wouldn't know how good she really was. When the song got to the point where she had to spin. Princess Tutu closed her eyes for a few minutes and when getting to the end she opened her eyes to see you world spinning endlessly. But to her surprise her spinning world revealed to her that she had been seen by people that she didn't like.

She grinded to a halt, and her feet stopped moving. She turned to face the intruders. Her features showed confusion, acting as if she didn't know them.

"Can I help you?" Her voice was clear and smooth, just like a bird singing on a nearby tree.

Fakir was the first one to break the silence between his group and the swan. "Princess…Tutu…"

The white swan was taken aback at how he was able to identify her. Rue looked from Princess Tutu to Fakir. "This can't be Princess Tutu her hair was not half orange and half white…"

Ahiru, or in this case Princess Tutu, let out a sigh. "On the contrary, Miss…I am, in fact, Princess Tutu."

Rue, at this point, glared at her. While Fakir and Mytho step forward. They gave a small bow and then a small smile, which shocked Ahiru cause she had never seen Fakir smile in her time knowing him.

"Princess, do you remember us?" Tutu blinked at bit making it seem that she was thinking about it.

"Yes, yes I remember you both…You're Fakir Knight, and you're Mytho White." She pointed to each of the boys in turn. "The two of you have not changed a bit. You look just like you did several years ago, but if you don't mind me asking…what are you three doing here in the training house? Only family is allowed in here."

"Really! Well then what are you doing here?" Rue shot back. "If I remember right, I've never seen you working in the café. So we could be asking you the same question."

Tutu smiled, she didn't let Rue's words affect her. Rue was taken aback at how Tutu wasn't showing any shock whatsoever.

"That's because I can't be seen with the naked eye…but through the heart." When she finished saying that the moonlight shined brighter and on the red jewel, making it shine so bright that it blinded the three that were right in front of her. When the light dimmed Princess Tutu was gone.

Rue saw this and she let out a sigh. "Good riddance." Fakir glared at her while Mytho looked around the room to see if the princess was still there, but there was no sign of her anywhere. Then the door to the room opened fully, only to reveal Ahiru standing there at the entrance of the doorway.

"What are you three doing here in my studio?" Ahiru was still wearing the necklace. That was the only thing that was keeping her from turning into a duck, therefore making her stay human, but Ahiru only liked to use this for important things.

"Ahiru-chan." Rue's mood quickly changed and went for a hug but Ahiru moved to the side, making Rue land on the floor. The boys sweat drop and Ahiru lets out a stressful sigh.

Rue, on the other hand, was rubbing her face cause that's where she landed. "OW, Ahiru-chan, why did you do that for?" Ahiru just ignored Rue's question and stated once again.

"I'll ask again…What are you three doing in my studio?" Ahiru had a more anger in her voice then the last time. The three were surprise to see this side of Ahiru. They always knew her as a distant person that was quiet and never raised her voice. Rue was the most taken aback and she went to hide behind Mytho.

"We…just…followed…you…and-" Rue was cut off before she could even stutter the words.

"You weren't suppose to follow me. This place is only for family. You are not allowed in here." Rue was looking a different direction, Mytho had a ''whoa'' face, and Fakir was just indifferent.

Ahiru was about to tell them to get out when a hand stopped her from doing so.

"Now, now Ahiru-chan don't be so mean. It's not like they knew that, now did they?" Ahiru turned to look at the person. Only to see a woman with beautiful crimson red eyes and black raven hair. The woman looked at the red haired girl's neck and saw the red jeweled necklace, then looked out the windows and saw the full moon.

"Angel-chan. Please tell them to leave…the café is closed now anyway. They have nothing to do here anymore. And warn them about coming in here again." With that said Ahiru turned her heels and left the building. Leaving Angel, and the other three, standing there. Angel let out a sigh. She knew Ahiru was right, but felt she had taken it a bit to far.

"Angel-sensei…We're sorry…We didn't know that this place wasn't allowed…" Angel sighed and shook her head.

"No, no… It's fine…But Ahiru-chan does have a point. You three shouldn't be in here." The three nodded as one.

"But why was she mad at us?" Asked Rue. Angel gave a sad, small smile, and went to take a seat on a chair that was by the mirrored wall.

"Ahiru…has been through a lot, and that's all that you three …" Then she grew silent. "Tell me, have you heard of the story of the Cursed Ugly Duckling?" The three were taken aback by this. I mean the they had heard of The Ugly Duckling but never The Cursed Ugly Duckling.

"Do they have a book about it?" Fakir was the first one to speak. Angel smiled and nodded her head.

"Yes, there is. Do you wish to hear a brief summary of it?" Rue and Mytho nodded their heads.

"There once was a couple that loved each other very much. After awhile they were expecting a child. Their love was so pure that there was a someone that was disgusted by it. That person was friends with the couple, which meant that they were closer to danger.

The friend placed a curse on the couple's child. The child would turn into a yellow duck each night. The parents were devastated with this happening. They searched for a cure with the help of a white witch. The witch told them, "The curse will be lifted once the girl finds her true love. I have placed a spell on her to turn her into a swan princess every full moon, however, she will only turn into the swan princess when she's wearing this red jeweled necklace."'

Fakir was interested by the story, while Rue was fascinated by the swan princess. Mytho was simply enjoying the story. Angel gave a small smile. Maybe one of these boys can be her true love, but...' Angel looked at Rue. It seems that this girl is going to be a road block for Ahiru's happiness. Angel soon shook the thought off and stood up from her chair.

"Alright kids. It's time to go home. The café is closed, and so is this house." They nodded and they all left to go to their houses, but Angel stayed the night at the Hinamori's house.

The next morning Angel woke up from a thump on the floor. Angel stood and looked around and saw black and red(Please add more description). She was in her room; Amu had made a room for only Angel to use. She got up from her bed and went to Ahiru's room, only to find her on the floor sleeping away. Angel just sweat dropped at the sight.

"Ahiru…You overdid it again…" Angel sighed, and helped Ahiru to get to her shower.

"I'm sorry, Angel-chan." Angel gave Ahiru a small smile.

"It's okay, Ahiru." Angel turned on the shower head and quickly washed Ahiru. (Angel-chan: Now don't go think perverted thoughts guys XO kay I'm older in this story and plus I knew Ahiru since she was a baby so I took her a bath back when she was a little girl.) That managed to wake Ahiru up. Angel left the bathroom and waited for Ahiru to finish in her room with the girl's school uniform beside her. Ahiru dashed out and changed into her clothes. Once she was done the two of them left for the school.

~At School~

§§Ahiru's POV§§

Angel-sensei went on ahead to the classroom, while I went to the library to meet up with the headmaster of the school. When I got there I saw that he wasn't present yet, so I decided to read one of my favorite books. It was only allowed to be read by certain people, and I was one of them. I went to the front desk of the library and asked the person in charge of the desk to give it to me. "I'm sorry…but it seems that it was checked out by Fakir Knight earlier today." My eyes widened. But…how?

I was pulled out of my shocked state by the headmaster's voice. "Ahiru-chan." I turned around and my gaze landed on lavender colored eyes. I gave a small bow in respect to him.

"Good morning, Tsukasa-san." I said. He smiled.

"Good morning, Ahiru. Should we get started then?" I nodded with a smile on my face. We walked and talked through out the whole library.

~.:Normal POV:.~

While Ahiru and Tsukasa were talking about something. Fakir was somewhere in the school garden reading The Cursed Ugly Duckling. Will this book make Fakir get closer to Ahiru's secret or will it take him longer to find out who Princess Tutu really is?

Angel-chan: There. Finished.

Ahiru: Wow that was long.

Fakir: Yup.

Angel-chan: Yup…oh and if you want to know the whole story of the Cursed Ugly Duckling then tell me cause I'm going to only be putting in little bit's of parts of it. And again This story wouldn't be any greater with that help of Queen LeAcH

Minna: Thank you X3

Ahiru: Yup so R&R MINNA! XD

Angel-chan: Ja ne ^^
