Can't believe it's been a month since last chapter! ("I can") Since BFSPA 1a came out, I'm releasing this chapter today.
I still don't have the poll, mostly because I don't know what to put in them.
Anyways. We shall begin! Minna no Kokoro: UNLOCK!
As Amu, Ran and Moca were eating breakfast the next day, Amu caught sight of a blonde haired girl with long twintails.
"Who is that?" Amu asked.
"Oh, that's Utau Hoshina." Ran said, "She's an idol singer, and the leader of the school's music club. Nobody knows that much about her."
"I see." Amu said.
Utau turned around and stared at Amu in the eye. She felt a chill down her spine.
"Amu Hinamori."
Amu panicked. "Eh? Eh? You know me?!"
Utau simply smirked to herself, then walked away.
Ran looked at Amu, all dazed from the encounter. "Amu! Are you okay?"
"Yeah…" Amu said, "I'm fine."
"Utau is so scary." Moca said.
"I know, right" Amu's heart Guardian Character said.
At that point, Mitake heard a commotion. "What is that?"
The three turned around to see a black haired girl with her blue haired friend, who seemed to be lifeless.
"Kanon! Please say something!"
Amu walked over to them. "What's going on?"
"Ah! You two are guardians!" the black haired girl said, "Kanon has been like this since this morning!"
Moca looked at the girl. "I see." she said, "Better ask the Guardians about this."
Amu looked at Ran. "Ran! You can come too, if you want."
"I think I'll pass."
The black haired girl got up. "Well, I'm coming with her."
So Kanon and the other girl, Misaki Okusawa, were brought into the Royal Garden.
Hippo inspected Kanon, her blank face, her lifeless eyes.
"Hmm… I've never seen anything like this before" Hippo said.
"Do you think it might be an X-Egg?" Moca said.
"Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Moe today." Misaki said.
"Is that Kanon's Guardian Character?" Amu asked Misaki.
Misaki nodded.
"Maybe someone turned her Guardian Egg into an X-Egg." Caren said.
"Are you saying that there's a criminal running around in this school?!" Saburo said.
"I wouldn't go as far as calling them a criminal, but I guess so." Tadase said.
"Don't worry, Okusawa-san." Hippo told her, "We'll find out who did this to Kanon-san, and get Moe back."
"Thank you, guardians."
"In the meantime," Rui said, "Why don't you look after Matsubara-san so she doesn't do anything bad"
"Of course."
"I think we should head off to class now." Yaya said.
"I'm just gonna stay here." CHU² said.
Amu and Moca were walking to class.
"How come CHU² wanted to stay in the Garden?" Amu asked Moca, "She's a student just like us."
"CHU² never comes to class. She only attends exams, which she excels every time."
"Wow. That's so cool."
Amu and Moca noticed people working on something.
"That's the robotics club. What are they doing at this time of the day?" Amu said.
"Wanna have a peek?" Moca asked.
The two entered inside and found a red rectangular robot with no limbs and an antenna.
"What is that?" Moca said.
"It's so cool!" Amu cried.
"Like it?" a member of the robotics club said. He had brown hair and greenish hazel eyes. "We were just putting some finishing touches."
Amu noticed a slightly opened chest compartment.
"Hey, what's inside it?"
The member of the robotics club ran over and covered the opened panel.
"No peeking! Roboty's chest compartment is for Robotics Club eyes only!"
"Roboty," Moca commented on the name, "That's creative."
"Well, we better get going to class anyways." Amu said, "See ya!"
Amu and Moca walked away.
Later that day, Amu's next class was cooking. Amu was sort of expecting Moca to be there, but Moca was surprised that Amu was there.
"Amu-chan! I didn't know you liked cooking." Moca said.
"Well, I don't hate it." Amu said, "My cousin is a patissier, and one of the things I wanted to be when I was young was a cake decorator."
"Ohoho! Then let's bake together!" Moca said, "Today, we're making cookies."
"What sort of cookies do you think we should make?"
"I dunno."
Amu thought about something, then asked Moca.
"Hey Moca. Do you think we should make special cookies for Misaki and Kanon?"
"Maybe we should," Moca said, "But what do they like?"
"I heard that Misaki likes bears and Kanon likes jellyfish." a voice said.
The two turned around to see the other Misaki.
"Misaki!" Amu said, "What are you going here?"
"I signed up for this class." Misaki said, "Though I prefer making things with meat."
"Ah, you must be Watarai-san." Moca said.
"Amu Hinamori must've told you about me, right?"
Moca nodded.
"Well, that settles it" Amu said, "We're making bear and jellyfish cookies!"
Su came out. "Moca! Let's Character Change! Chip! Syrup! Whip!"
A clover grew on Moca's hair, and Moca started baking, with Amu and Misaki helping.
After a while, the bear and jellyfish cookies were done.
"This will cheer them up!" Amu said.
"Then let's go give it to them!" Misaki said.
The three of them were walking to Misaki and Kanon's room when the robotics club member from earlier ran up to them.
"Amu! There's an emergency at the robotics club room!"
The three of them ran over to the club room and they saw Roboty tipped over with his chest compartment open. In it was an egg shaped holder.
"Roboty!"
Another club member spoke up. "When we tried to get him to tell us what happened, he didn't respond!"
"Excuse me, but what's going on here?"
"Whatever was in Roboty's chest compartment has been stolen!" Amu said.
"What could be inside there that is worth stealing and you are not showing us?" Moca asked the brown haired robotics club member.
"Promise you will keep this a secret." the man said.
The three of them nodded.
"It's Roboty's heart egg. Our project is to create an artificial being with a Hearts Egg. A robot wil dreams and aspirations like us."
"This is really important for us. Can you please help us? Can you help find who stole Roboty's Egg?"
Amu nodded.
"Could it be the same person who stole Kanon's Guardian Egg?" Moca wondered.
"It might be."
Misaki saw something hidden in the chest compartment. "Hey! What's that?"
She went over and picked it up. It was a ribbon.
"Let's take this to the Royal Garden." Amu said.
Once they were at the Royal Garden, they explained the situation to the guardians.
Misaki handed the ribbon to Tadase, and then Tadase's eyes widened at the sight of it.
"Utan…"
"You recognize that ribbon?" Hippo asked him.
"This is Utau Hoshina's ribbon!"
"Do you think Utau was the one who took Kanon's Guardian Egg?" Karen asked.
"Well, what other evidence do we have?" Saburo said.
"Very well, bring Hoshina-san in." Rui said.
So Utau was brought into the Royal Guardian. Her Guardian Character, a devil character named Il, was sitting on her shoulder. Also in the Royal Garden were Roboty, Tsukasa Amakawa, Misaki, and the boy from earlier, whose name they later learned as Kohei Hayasaka.
"Give us back Kanon and Roboty's Guardian Eggs!" Karen shouted at her.
"I'm telling you, I don't have them!"
"Utau-san," Tsukasa said, "Your hair ribbon was found inside Roboty's hair compartment. Only the Robotics Club members know what was inside."
"Maybe Utau was just curious!" Il said.
"So you admit that your bearer looked through Roboty's chest compartment." Rui said.
Utau gave a death glare at Il, then turned back towards the guardians. "Even if I did look through Roboty's chest compartment, which I didn't by the way, that doesn't mean I took Roboty's Heart Egg!"
"Utau," the Chairman said, "You had a free period when the Robotics club room was empty."
"That doesn't mean I took Roboty's heart egg! And I definitely didn't take Kanon's!"
"I really want to believe you're innocent," Tsukasa said, "But until we have evidence of the contrary, you are expelled from Seiyo Space Academy. Your ship will be arriving tomorrow."
At that moment, Utau Character Changed, growing a pair of bat wings.
"Fricking unbelievable! Seriously! You guys all suck!" Utau cried, exiting the Royal Garden.
Not even a moment later, she walked back into the Royal Garden and held out a hand to Misaki.
"My ribbon, please."
Misaki placed the ribbon in Utau's hand, and she left. Il gave one last raspberry before following her owner out the door.
"Well," Moca said, "I'm glad that's over! I'm sure that this case is 100% wrapped up and we can all go back to our lives."
Yaya nodded.
"We still need to find Kanon and Roboty's Eggs." Rui said, "And also some way to reverse Kanon's… spell."
"Oh yeah. We do." Hippo muttered.
Moca got up. "Well, I'm heading back to my room."
"Yeah, me too." Kohei said.
"I have a project I have to work on." CHU² said.
How about I take two OCs from the Shugo Chara Fanon wiki for 8-Ball and Trousers. Yeah. That might be a good idea. Well, better go find some OCs then.
LOCK ON! OPEN HEART!
