Chapter One- SMILE

Now the five current guardians meet in the royal garden for a scheduled discussion on recent events, and to do some last paperwork before their weekend begins.

After all that had been cleared, they walked home.

Before leaving the school, though, Amu had a quick chat with Rima.

"So, if I talked it over with your mom, do you think you would like to come over to my place tonight?" Amu asked.

"Alright! A sleepover!" Kusukusu shouted.

"Hooray!" Ran jumped up with pompoms in hand.

"I don't know, Amu...It might be hard to convince my parents. You know how they can be..." Rima shrugged.

"Well, if it makes them feel better I could get my parents on the phone for them. So, don't worry! We'll find a way."

Rima smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, then...if that's the case, I'd love to come."

It took a while to persuade Rima's mom when they went to see her at the car, but Mrs. Mashiro gave in. It was only because Amu said her dad could come pick them up. Rima's mom did not want them walking to the house by themselves.

When they arrived at the Hinamori residence, Ami ran out the front door and jumped up to hug Rima.

"Onee-chan has a friend over!" she said, elated.

Rima was wide-eyed from the sudden greeting.

"Ami..." Amu sighed, "Don't get too excited.

"But, she's been here before when we made cream puffs!" Ami looked up at Rima, grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh...so you remember me from back then," Rima smiled back, "Thank you, Ami."

Amu could feel her own mouth form a smile, too. She loved when Rima was happy.

Once they came inside, Amu's mom greeted them warmly.

"Hi, girls! How was your day?" she asked them.

"Great!" Amu replied, "We started making plans for the end of the school year."

"Oh, so are the guardians doing anything special?"

"We've been discussing that, but we're not quite sure what it will be."

Before heading upstairs, Rima politely bowed to Amu's mom in appreciation, "Thanks again for letting me come over and talking to my parents about it."

"It was our pleasure," she answered while finishing up some dishes, "...and by the way, I made some cookies since I knew Amu invited a friend. I'll bring them to you when they finish baking."

"Yay! Cookies!" Ami hugged her mom's leg.

"Thanks, Mom," Amu nodded, "Let's go, Rima."

They reached Amu's room, put their schoolbags on the floor, and lay on the bed, sighing contently in unison.

"I'm so glad we don't have school tomorrow," Amu said in relief.

"But, we still have homework to finish before we go back Monday. Don't forget that," Rima stated.

Amu's expression grew dim, "Why did you have to bring that up?"

Only minutes later, Mrs. Hinamori knocked on the door and came in with a fresh batch of cookies and some hot tea to drink with them. Ami stood right behind her.

"Hey, Amu-chan, I need a favor," her mom spoke, "Can you girls keep an eye on Ami for a bit? Your father and I need to run some errands."

"Sure," Amu smiled, yet inside she felt a little depressed about having to watch her little sister when her friend was there.

"Okay, thanks! We won't be long!" she closed the door.

Ami dashed over to her sister, "Onee-chan, let's play something!"

"Like what?" Amu questioned.

"Something funny!"

Amu exhaled deeply, "Um..." she wasn't the funniest person she knew, and it didn't come easy for her...

But...

"Hey...Rima?" Amu nudged her, "Do you mind helping me w-"

"Don't even try that on me," Rima sipped her cup of tea, "Besides...you still haven't perfected your gag face yet."

"Oh...r-right..."

I should've known she would say something like that, Amu thought.

"But, you know..." Rima continued, "This is a good time to practice it."

"Yeah, do it with me!" Kusukusu stretched her face using her fingers and stuck her tongue out.

Ami laughed as she exclaimed, "Wow! You can do that, too, onee-chan?" Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Oh! Uh...y-yeah! S-sure I can!" Amu lied.

The pinkette tried copying what Kusukusu had done...but it only made Ami run away and hide behind Amu's closet door.

"That's scary!" she shrieked.

"Eh...okay..." Amu tried again.

"That's even worse," Rima said.

Amu frowned, "I still can't do it, huh?"

"You just need to work on it more."

"I'll try..." Amu looked over by her sister, "Sorry about that, Ami."

"Hey!" Ran floated right in front of Amu's face, "If you need to keep Ami occupied just leave it to us!" she winked.

"Yeah! We can think of something," Miki agreed with her, "Maybe even..."

"KARAOKE!" all Amu's charas shouted together.

"W-wait a second, you guys!" Amu argued, "Just last night we-"

"Oh, c'mon! You can never have too much karaoke!" Ran exclaimed.

Dia placed a track in the CD player, "All ready."

The charas sang songs for a while, and, of course, Ami was joining in most of the time.

"Hey...I guess that wasn't too bad an idea after all," Amu admitted, "Now, Rima, do you want to-"

"And, now!" Ran shouted at the top of her lungs, "A special presentation from Miki!"

"E-eh...what now?" Amu shrugged.

"We might as well just go along with it," Rima told her, "Besides, Kusukusu is having a good time, too."

The charas draped a sheet over two small chairs to make a stage. All the charas, with the exception of Miki, sat in front. They waited until she finally floated up to appear, wearing a small robe.

"Listen up, commoners!" Miki glared down at them, "We must have a very important meeting!"

"That's Kiseki!" Ran pointed out.

"Correct!" Miki sunk down behind stage and came back up only seconds later. She started dancing and spinning on her head, "Yo!"

Su raised her hand, "Rhythm, desu."

"Right again!" Miki nodded.

"Wow, Miki, you're really good at impressions!" Kusukusu complimented.

"Yeah, but..." Dia noted, "Don't you notice that who she's acting as are-"

"Oh...I see..." Su realized it, too.

Miki now grasped a paper-made crown and laughed, "He'll never catch me now!"

She then switched her voice back to Kiseki, "Ruffian! No one steals the king's symbol of power!"

Miki held the crown high and floated up and down quickly, "If you want it back, you have to come get it, nya!"

"She did Yoru!" Ran's thoughts had now caught up with the other charas, "Which means..."

"Miki is being lovestruck again!" Kusukusu giggled.

"W-w-wait a minute!" Miki protested, "That's not what I-"

"But...weren't all the ones you pretended to be...ones that you're interested in?" Dia brought up the same subject.

Miki's cheeks were flushed, "N-no! It's not like that!"

The charas burst out in laughter. Even Amu had to try and hide her chuckles.

Miki flew up to her, "So, you think it's funny, too, Amu-chan?! Well, you won't be laughing about this!"

She went back over to the charas as they huddled close, whispering ideas to each other.

What are they planning now? Amu thought nervously.

After Ami grabbed a fistful of cookies and sat back down on a pillow to watch, the charas were ready.

"Okay!" Ran jumped up for an explanation, "Miki and I will be puppeteers, Kusukusu will do the curtain and sound effects, and Su and Dia will be our narrators."

As soon as Miki had sketched out and made some paper puppets in secret, Su and Dia started.

"We present a tale of heartbreak and confusion...of hard choices...and of true love," Su began.

Dia continued, "Our main character is torn between the two she is closest to...but she will have to make a decision in the end."

"We hope you all enjoy the show, desu!" Su took a gentle bow.

Ami and Rima clapped, but Amu was silent as she grew suspicious, C-could this be...?

The curtain drew back. Kusukusu made the sounds of cars in a street.

Su introduced the scene, "It was a normal day outside the gates of Seiyo Academy..."

Oh, no...Amu slapped her hand over her face.

"...and Amu-chan was heading to class."

Sure enough, a puppet of Amu came into view.

"Onee-chan, that's you!" Ami pointed to it.

"Uh...yeah..." Amu shrunk to the back of the bed, hiding the best she could at that moment.

"This should be interesting," said Rima.

Not in front of Rima, too... Amu now used a pillow to try and cover her face.

"I'm so tired today!" Ran, as puppet Amu, said, "I really don't want to go to school."

"Being lazy again, I see," Miki's character whispered.

"Eh?! Who's that?" puppet Amu looked around.

A puppet of Ikuto now appeared, "That's so typical of you, Amu...I can't believe you didn't know it was me..."

The real Amu now slightly looked over her pillow, Great...they even added Ikuto into the script...

Puppet Amu grew angry, "Y-you don't have to sneak up on me like that!"

"Sorry...it's just cute when you get all surprised and flustered," puppet Ikuto teased.

"I-I-Ikuto!"

All he did was laugh, "Well...I shouldn't keep you from class..."

Miki switched puppets so Ikuto had cat ears and a tail, "But, we'll talk later, Amu..." he went off stage.

Amu was now about to bite her nails from all the drama...Now Rima even knew about Ikuto...and her liking him...

She even noticed Rima giving her a suspicious stare every now and then. Amu would answer with a nervous laugh.

The puppet of Amu started walking again, "Man...Why does Ikuto always have to do that?"

Miki impersonated another voice, "Good morning, Amu-chan!"

Amu froze...She immediately knew what puppet would appear next...

...and she was right.

Puppet Tadase came into view and puppet Amu stuttered, "Oh, g-good morning, T-Tadase-kun..."

"Hey, I know him!" Ami said in a hyper voice, "He came over to our house a few times!"

"HEY, AMI!!!" Amu exclaimed, "Why are you talking about that?!?"

"So...it's just as Yaya and I suspected," Rima rubbed her chin.

"R...Rima..." Amu admitted defeat by simply not saying another word after that. She knew she couldn't win the debate even if she tried.

The play continued, and Miki spoke again as Tadase, "So, Amu-chan...are you doing anything this weekend?"

The puppet with pink hair replied, "W-well...n-not that I can think of..."

"Great! Because...I was wondering...would you like to...you know... go out?"

"You mean like...on a...DATE?!?!?!?" puppet Amu shouted in surprise.

"Yeah...if you want to..."

"Well...um..." puppet Amu paced around a bit, "I...guess we can do that..."

"Really? Okay, then...Let's meet at the park about noon on Saturday."

"Sounds...fine to me."

"Well, then...have a good day, Amu-chan," the puppet of Tadase disappeared.

"Now, Amu's heart is torn between two loves," Dia commented.

"But, it's such a difficult choice," Su now held a tiny handkerchief, pretending to wipe away her tears, "Because she cares for both of them and-"

"OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Amu yelled, "NO MORE PUPPET PLAYS!"

"Onee-chan! WHY?" Ami complained.

"Well, it's just that-"

Amu was interrupted when she heard Rima laughing uncontrollably behind her. She turned around and saw her friend chuckling so much that tears were coming out of her eyes.

Even though she was thoroughly embarrassed from the play performed that afternoon, Amu grinned widely seeing Rima so joyful.
