8:54 a.m.
The drive to the surprise destination where Ikuto was located at took about thirty-five minutes. Throughout the whole ride, Amu was fidgeting in her seat. Youichi on the other hand was as calm and somewhat excited to know where the new destination will be. Just when he turned towards the window to take in the surroundings; it was a tree line street having no interest on the peaceful yet boring view his mind drifted somewhere else. Just as he did that, the car came to an utter stop. "Ms. Hinamori, Young sir Hyuuga we have arrived." Nagi announced.
Both Youichi and Amu looked out the window only to have their eyes sparkle and their mouth gaped open in a smile. They quickly climbed out of the car when Nagi went to go open the door. "Wow…" Was the first word that came out of Amu's smiling lips.
"It's the theme park!" Cried out Youichi with excitement. As the two were so distracted with the sight that was placed in front of them. They didn't notice the new presence that appeared behind them. He was dressed in a white V-neck short sleeve shirt with a black sleeveless cardigan with black slim pants.
"I'm glad to see you both like the location." The two excited bodies turned their heads towards the voice to see the bluenette grinning at the two. Youichi was the first to react as he ran up to Ikuto and hugged his legs Ikuto was taken aback by the sudden action that the young lad was showing Ikuto but quickly recovered as a smile painted upon his lips. He picked up the child and held him in his arms as Youichi gave him an ear-to-ear smile.
"We love it." Upon hearing those words, Ikuto ruffled Youichi's hair earning him a laugh from the young boy. Amu smiled at the sight of seeing both Ikuto and Youichi getting along smoothly. Amu then took noticed that someone was staring at her from top to bottom. That's when she realized that she was wearing THAT outfit. A blush quickly dusted her cheeks as she recalled what she was wearing. While at the time Amu's mind was somewhere else Ikuto took the chance yo approach her with Youichi still in his arms. Amu finally snapped out of train of thought when she felt a figure over towering her she timidly looked up with a soft blush spread along her cheeks.
Ikuto stood there with a soft smile on his lips and his eyes showing love towards the women that was standing right in front of him. "You look beautiful Amu." His words were like sweet honey to her as she heard them coming from his mouth. Her blush grew dark as she averted her eyes from her. Ikuto lightly chuckled at her action he then took her hand within his and entwined his finger's with hers.
"Come on let not waste any more time." With her blush still visible, she nodded as she allowed him to guide her towards the park.

"I want to get on that one!" Youichi called out as he pointed towards the ride – Merry-Go-Round.
"Alright, come on let's get in line." Ikuto responded earning a cheer from the young boy as he ran towards the line. As for the two adults calmly walked over towards the ride since they had come into the Theme Park Ikuto hadn't release his hold of Amu's petit hand from his large one. Amu took note of this when she started to hear people with in the crowd "whispering" to one another.
"Hey look at that hottie with the blue hair."
"Yeah! Hey do you think that pick haired women is his girlfriend?" The women asked to her friend.
"I think so…Just look at them their holding hands."
"Yeah plus they really good together." They all agreed at that last comment.
Recalling the "whispering" conversation Amu's face flushed red. She had tried to retrieve her hand from him only to fail miserably because with each tug she did Ikuto only tighten his grip.
It was finally their turn to get onto the ride. Youichi quickly ran off to find a seat. He found one – it was a horse in the frozen position of staying on its hind legs. At this point Amu noticed the grip on Ikuto's hand lose and took the chance to slip out of it. She then walked over towards Youichi, helped him up to the seat, and strapped him in. Amu then looked over her shoulder to see Ikuto sitting just behind Youichi horses. Amu then looked over her shoulder to see Ikuto sitting just behind Youichi's horse. It looked like a carriage but with a bench within it. She told Youichi that she would just be behind him. He smiled at her as he gave her a nod allowing her to go and take her seat next to Ikuto.
"So how did you like your surprise?" he asked as he stared at the overjoyed Youichi.
"It was quite the surprise…but was it necessary for me to get all dolled up?" She asked in returned. Ikuto chuckled at the question.
"Oh course; I wanted everyone to see just how beautiful you are." He replied as he held her chin in-between his thumb and index finger and lifted it up to have her face him.
"Even if you weren't dolled up your still beautiful in whatever you're in." He added as he planted a tender kiss on her forehead.
She blushed a shade of crimson red as she stared up at Ikuto, who was giving her a tender rare smile. She was left stunned it has been a year since she last saw that smile. Since that fateful night when she decided to pack up her things and run.
Regaining from her train of thought Amu quickly turned away from Ikuto just as the rise came to a stop. Ikuto gave out a sigh as he took Amu's hand in his as they both made their way towards Youichi.
"Ready for the next ride Youichi?" Ikuto asked as he held Amu by his side while he helped Youichi climbed down.
Youichi jumped down from the plastic horse as he smiled up at the two adults. "Amu chooses next." He announced with a bright smile on his lips. Soon the two boys turned their gaze over towards the pinkette.
"Ah…well…uh…the . tea . cups?" She asked timidly. Ikuto was about to say something when Youichi cut him off.
"Alright the tea-cup!" Youichi grabbed Amu's hand with his petit one as he made both of them dash over towards the exit leaving Ikuto standing there.
"Ikuto! Hurry!" Amu called out to him in a cheerful tone.
Ikuto gave out a sigh as he shook his head with a smile placed on his lips. "This women will be the death if me. He whispered to himself as he started to make his way out of the ride. "Yet I wouldn't have it any other way." He said as he reached the two-spirited duo.
"What was that?" Amu asked as she looked up at him.
"Nothing, let's get going before I change my mind about the teas-cups." Amu's eyes widen along with Youichi's and the two made a quick dash towards the line leaving Ikuto once again only this time he was chuckling at the reaction he received from them.

12:20 p.m.
I was lunchtime and the three were walking to one of the food stands located within the theme park. "Amu you take Youichi and go fond a table for the three of us while I get the food." Amu looked up at the bluenette.
"Are you sure I mean we can wait here with you and looked for a table together." Ikuto smiled as he pushed back a strand of pink hair behind her ear.
"It's okay go ahead I'll catch up." Amu hesitated.
"Alright then don't get Youichi any dessert he'll get more hyper then he already is."
"Hey! I will not!" Amu gave him a look earning her a pout from the young lad.
"Fine maybe a little bit." Ikuto shook his head with a chuckle as he saw the two walking off to find a table. He then imaged Amu walking off hand-in-hand with their child. Ikuto smiled softy at the mere thought.
"Soon…I hope." He murmured.
"Next in line." Ikuto snapped out of his trance and looked forward to see he was next in line.
"Oh sorry," Ikuto looked over the menu quickly trying to see what the pinkette and the young lad plus himself would like to eat. "Give me the family pack meal." The cashier nodded as she tapped the screen of the computer cash register.
"Okay and how many are there in your family sir?" She asked.
"My wife, our son and I." When Ikuto said those words, he felt a smile spread upon his lips. The words felt right he did want a family with Amu.
"Alright then…It'll be $23.62."
I forgot how expensive theme parks are, Ikuto thought as he handed the girl the money. She took it and charged the money into the register after a few more taps on the screen she ripped the receipt off and handed Ikuto the copy.
"Your order will be ready in a few minutes." Ikuto nodded as have stepped to the side to allow the next person to place their order.
As he waited for his order to be called upon, his mind started to drift off. I wonder what would we have first a son or a daughter?" Ikuto thought. As he was thinking about this, a smile spread upon his lips that stretched from ear to ear.
"Number 73; Family pack meal." Ikuto broke out of his train of thought when hearing his order being called. He walked up to the counter and showed them his receipt. The employee looked it over and handed him his order along with three empty cups. Ikuto took the tray and the three empty cups and headed towards the tables in search of his "family." He spotted them quickly; it is not that hard to look for a pink-headed women. It's not that common to have such a hair color. He started to make his way over towards them.
"So what do you guys want to drink?" Ikuto asked as he set the tray down on the table.
"Sprite!" Both the pinkette and the young lad called out in union causing Ikuto to chuckle.
"Alright then."
"Youichi why don't you go and help Ikuto out." Youichi smile and nodded. He hopped off his chair and went to stand in front of Ikuto with a smile in place.
Ikuto returned the smile as he took the lads hand and headed off to the self-service soda machine. As Amu watched to two from her sit, she softly smiled at the scene.
Would we have been like this if we were to have gotten married that day?" Amu asked herself. She then let out a heavy sigh as she thought over her question.
"Argh! What am I saying of course not! More than likely we would have divorced by now." Amu murmured under her breath.
"Nah-uh! Fire is way better!" Youichi said. Amu looked up and saw them walking back to their table.
"No way earth is!" Ikuto argued back to the young lad. Amu raised an eyebrow confused onto what the two where bricking about. Once the two were close enough Youichi ran up to Amu with a determine expression.
"Amu~! What element is better fire or earth?" Youichi asked the pinkette. Amu stun at the sudden question blinked a few times as she allowed the words to sink into her brain.
"…Huh?"
"What element is better Ikuto's or mine?" Youichi asked again, this time the pink haired maiden pondered on to the question to find her answer.
"Neither," She answered this time catching the two boys by surprise. "I'm more of a water element myself." Upon hearing the women's answer, the two gaped, gaining a soft giggle from their pinkette.
"Plus it benefits both of the elements," When hearing her comment they raised an eyebrow. "You can't calm down fire without water nor can earth live without water." Amu said with a smile as for the boys they let Amu's words sink in while Amu started to distribute everyone's food. The two boys then looked at each other and smiled as they then turn their attention back to their pinkette.
"You're right," Youichi started. "We need water." Ikuto finished.

5:46 p.m.
"Amu~ I'm getting hungry~" Youichi whined. The young lad was being carried on Ikuto's back. Amu looked up into the swirling orange and pink sky to see the sun was setting. Amu then turned to looked over towards Ikuto.
"Ikuto it is getting late…maybe we should head home." Ikuto stopped walking turn to look at Amu as he shook his head.
"No, not yet I still have one more place to take you two." Amu raised an eyebrow. "However, you two are going to need to change so that you can enter." Ikuto took Amu's hand and guided both Youichi and her back to the Amusement Park entrance/exit. It didn't take them that long to reach the entrance/exit once reaching it Amu took notice that Nagihiko wa standing there waiting upon them with a smile.
"Welcome back," Nagihiko said once they were in front of them. "Did you have a good time?" Nagihiko asked to no one in particular. Amu smiled towards Nagihiko as she decided to be the one to answer him.
"Yes we did." Nagihiko nodded with a smile.
"Nagi can you take them back and get them changed," Ikuto said. "From there you know where to take them." He added as he placed Youichi down on the ground. Nagihiko nodded in response to what Ikuto was asking him to do. Nagihiko then walked towards Both Amu, Youichi, and jester them towards where the car was located.
"This way pleases Ms. Hinamori, Young Hyuuga." Amu smiled at Nagihiko as she took hold of Youichi petit hand in her's as Nagihiko guided the two towards the car. As Nagihiko guided them Amu at a point looked over her shoulder to see that Ikuto was still standing there watch them walk towards the car. Once the three reached the car Nagihiko opened the door to allow Youichi and Amu to climb into the vehicle Ikuto began to make his way towards his car – That was in the opposite direction.
"Just a bit longer…" The bluenette muttered under his breath.
When getting both of his two passengers into the car Nagihiko quicken his pace towards the driver's seat. He did want both the boy and the women to arrive at their destination late and have them starve. When Nagihiko got behind the wheel, he quickly turned on the car and pulled out of the Amusement Park parking lot and into the tree line street. After about five minute into the driving Youichi finally broke the silence and spoke towards Nagihiko. "Hey Nagi where are you taking us this time?" Amu's ears perked up in order to hear the answer that Nagihiko would respond to the young lad.
"I'm sorry Youichi but I can't tell you that. You're just going to have to wait till we get there." Nagihiko replied in which made Youichi give out a sigh and didn't press on the topic anymore. Throughout the whole ride back to their previous location before the Amusement Park was completely silent. Neither of the three said anything throughout the whole thirty-five minute drive. When reaching their location Nagihiko helped the two passengers climb out of the car as they were descending from vehicle The two were once again greeted by the employee's that had helped them previously in dressing them.
"Welcome back Ms. Hinamori, Young Sir Hyuuga. I take that your morning went well?" The head leader asked as he gave a small bow towards the two.
Amu replied with a small smile on her face and a nod. "Yes our morning went quite pleasantly," The head leader smiled with delight. "Now, would you mind telling me why we're back here?" Amu asked.
As soon as she asked the question, two workers were at her side and the same happened to Youichi. As the two were being led into the store, the head leader replied to Amu's question. "Oh, isn't it obvious you're here to get a change of clothing for your dinner with Mr. Tsukiyomi." With that said Amu didn't ask anymore question she felt that if she did then they would just withheld more details then what she wanted. This time around due to Amu not making such a fuss like the first time everything went quicker than before. The only thing that's different from the first time is the fact that this time an outfit was already chosen for Amu to wear and for Youichi.
Youichi was the first one to be done; he wore and white long sleeve collar shirt with black dress pants with a pair of black dress shoes. Youichi took the time to go and take a look at himself in the mirror that was provided for the two. He ruffed his hair to get it to the style he wanted. Once he was satisfied with his hair out of the corner of his eye he stopped something red in the mirror. He glanced over towards the red blur only to see Amu standing there in all her glory. Youichi turned around to face her blushing face. "Does it look weird?" She asked making Youichi mentally chuckle as he shook his head at her question.
"No you look absolutely stunning." He said honestly bring a warm smile upon her glossy lips.

"Oh I'm so nervous. What if he doesn't like what I'm wearing?" Said Amu what seemed like the twenty-fifth time -for the last ten minutes since they left the store- for poor little Youichi. He mentally gave out a sigh as he turned to face Amu again.
"Amu don't worry he's going to love what your wearing." Youichi said.
"That's right Ms. Hinamori Ikuto is going to go head over heels when he sees what you're wearing." Nagihiko added on trying to help the poor lad. Amu stayed quiet for the next twenty seconds.
"No I don't want to go through with this anymore Nagihiko turn the car around please." Amu said with worry laced into her voice. With the rearview mirror Nagihiko gave Amu a sad smile.
"I'm Sorry Ms. Hinamori but I can't do that because we're already here." With that said Amu started to have a mini freak out session due to this she didn't notice that the door to the car was open for them by the valet. Youichi was the first one to climb down from the car but before he got further away from the open door he peered back inside and called out for the pinkette.
"Amu come on." Upon hearing the young lad's words Amu snapped out of her mini freak out moment and looked over towards the open car door. She hesitantly and slowly slid her body over towards the open door. Slowly she took one foot out revealing her exposing skin leg. Within second an out stretch hand was place right in front of the pinkette's face. She looked up to fine her purple headed driver Nagihiko smiling down at her. Amu peered down at the offering hand as she sucked in a deep breath and took the hand with out double thinking and allowed him to help her out of the car.
While Nagihiko was helping out the lovely pinkette there standing a few feet away was the man that she was so much worrying about –Tsukiyomi Ikuto- He was growing impatient with this long wait that the beloved pinkette was making. Once see her head emerge from the car he quickly perked up at the sight of her pin hair. There standing in all her radiant glory stood the women he loves. Amu was wearing a Red Short Strapless Cocktail Dress with simple black leather platform heels. Her hair was let down with simple waves and her make wasn't overpowering her natural beauty. The only thing added was skin tone eye shadow and red lipstick with a clear gloss coat.
Amu slowly brought her gaze up to have her golden hazel nut eyes meet indigo blue eyes. She shyly gave the bluenette a small smile. "Ah…Hi…"
