Me: I have no clue where this idea came from!! I just thought about how funny it would be if Nagihiko tried to find ten ways to be nice to Rima, all of them failing!

Nagihiko: Failing…? T.T

Me: The last one will work! I promise!

Rima: Grrrrrrrrrr

Me: -shakes in fear- Someone do the disclaimer! –runs away-

Rima: I'm going to slowly destroy you

Nagihiko: Hana-chan STILL doesn't own Shugo Chara!

Ikuto: She's still that lame

Me: Ikuto is still so mean…you would think all that amuto would cheer him up but nooooooooooooooooooo…

Ikuto: Amuto? Where?

RIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKORIMAHIKO

I stared down at the blade of grass I was twirling between my fingers and sighed. Of all the girls I could be attracted to, why did it have to be the one who hated me? Rima was definitely the worst person to crush on, no matter who it was, although I was a special case.

"Hey, Nagihiko," Amu said cheerfully as she came up behind me. Her smile faded, however, when she say my miserable face.

"What's wrong?" she asked me worriedly. I sighed deeply and explained my dilemma.

Amu laughed. She didn't giggle or chuckle or whatever other form of laughter one could think of. Nope. She laughed in my face.

"Gee, thanks for being so nice about it, Amu-chan," I said sarcastically and Amu bit her lower lip, trying to stifle her laughter.

"I just think it's funny that of all the people you decide to like, it has to be Rima," she said looking highly amused.

"I just poured out my deepest secret to Amu-chan and you laugh?" I cried outrageously.

"Sorry," Amu said rolling her eyes.

"Help me find a way to win her over!" I begged her. Amu all but jumped back in surprise and she scratched the back of her head nervously.

"Ehhhh…you see…I uh…um…don't think…" she stumbled hastily.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH AMU-CHAN!" I cried and grabbed her hand.

"Well, I guess I have no choice," she muttered and looked thoughtful.

"Get her some flowers!" Amu squealed.

"That's a great idea!" I exclaimed. We ran off to the nearest florist we could find and I bought a large bouquet of roses for her.

"She'll love them," Amu said firmly and we made out way to her house. When we arrived, Amu knocked viciously on the door. I looked at my pink haired friend in slight alarm.

"You don't need to be so hard with the door, Amu-chan," I said weakly.

"With love you gotta be AGGRESSIVE!!" she roared and I noticed her regular X clip was now a heart.

"Whatever you say, Ran," I mumbled just as the door opened.

"Hey, Rima-chan!" I said cheerfully.

"What do you want?" she asked with no emotion.

"I thought I give you these—" I began but the door was quickly slammed in my face. Ouch.

"That was cold," Amu noted.

"I give up," I said miserable.

"DON'T GIVE UP!!" Amu all but screamed in my face with such force I almost fell over.

"Well, it's not like I can sneak them up to her room," I pointed out. "So what's the point?"

Amu glared at me with flames in her eyes.

"I know someone who can!!" she said gleefully.

"Who?" I asked.

"A stupid cat," she mumbled. "Oh Nagihiko-kun! You're hair is so preeeeeeettttyyyyy!"

Without any sort of warning, she began to fawn all over me. I looked at her completely bewildered. If she was trying to get Rima jealous, I doubted it was going to work. I was mentally running reasons through my head when I heard a voice.

"Are you just gonna sit here are take that Ikuto, nya?" someone hissed.

"Cram it, Yoru," someone else said.

Ikuto and Yoru! Of course they could get up to Rima's room for me.

"Ikuto-koi!" Amu called cheerfully. "Come down here and I'll give you a kiss!"

My jaw dropped to the floor, just as Ikuto fell out of the tree he was hiding in. I thought cats always landed on their feet….

"Really? So you are in love with me! I knew you didn't like the kiddy king!" the blue haired cat boy crowed delightedly.

"Yeah whatever," Amu said. Ah, that cool n' spicy attitude of hers was kicking in. "I just needed you attention so you'd do me a favor."

"Gimme a kiss and I will," Ikuto promised. Amu's face was slowly turning redder and redder and I decided to save her the humiliation.

"Actually, I was hoping you would drop these off for my, uh, friend," I said hurriedly.

"Oh. The little shrimp you like," Ikuto said and I nodded before I could comprehend that he insulted the 'love of my life'.

"Will you do it?" I asked, watching out of the corner of my eye as Amu's face stopped resembling that of a ripe tomato or a very ripe—

"Does my little strawberry have a fever?" Ikuto asked teasingly and Amu's face reddened again. Strawberry was quite a good adjective.

"SHUT UP PERVERT!" Amu snapped and forced the roses into his hand.

"For me?" he asked innocently.

"For, Rima," I said hastily. "I need you to get into her room and—wait. Amu, what makes you think he cane even get into someone's room? Unless you've had…personal experiences with that sort of thing."

It did occur to me that it was odd that Amu had so much faith in him being able to get into a girl's room, no matter how high up. Seriously, as much a cat he may look, he was only human and it didn't seem that natural to—wait. This is the boy who sleeps in trees and pops out cat ears and a tail. Never mind....

"Sure I can!" Ikuto snapped looking rather offended at my doubt in his skills. "Yoru, Chara change."

Yoru rolled his golden eyes irritable but complied all the same.

After gaining cat ears and a tail, he bounded up onto her roof and pushed open her window. I stared in amazement as he set my flowers down and left without making a sound.

"How'd you get so good at that?" I demanded.

"You haven't told him, Amu?" Ikuto asked.

"Told me what?" I asked but Amu dragged me away before Ikuto could reply. I heard him laugh though.

THE NEXT DAY

Rima came to school with sniffling and her nose red.

"What happened to you, Rima-chan?" I asked, wondering if something bad happened with her family.

"I'm allergic to roses," she said icily. "You made my allergies kick in and they're killing me." Rima ignored both me and Amu for the rest of the day.

Later I sat with Amu, thinking about things we could do.

"Maybe I should just give up," I sighed.

"Let's ask Kukai!" Amu suggested brightly.

"I don't want everyone knowing I like Rima," I told her.

"If you go out with her, everyone will know anyway," Amu pointed out. "Besides, not only is KUKAI SECRETLY DATING HOSHINA UTAU he's also been able to help me with a bunch of stuff."

"After you screamed it out, I don't think it's so much of a secret anymore," Kukai growled as he approached us, receiving many glances and whispers.

"Kukai! We need your help!" Amu cried. "How is Nagihiko going to win Rima's heart?"

Kukai's face was priceless.
