A/N: So, here it is. My very first fic on here. Please R&R! :)

SUMMARY: Rima, Amu, Utau and Yaya are the spoiled princesses of the large Guardian Kingdom.

Nagihiko, Ikuto, Kukai and Kairi are mere peasant brothers who run a bakery.

Surely they'll never meet...or fall in love....right?

Ages:

Ikuto: 20

Kukai and Utau: 16

Amu, Rima and Nagihiko: 15

Yaya: 13

Kairi: 12

Laura: So, I hope you enjoy it! Hmm.....Nagihiko, you do the disclaimer!

Nagi: Oh, fine. Laura does not own any of the characters, or Shugo Chara. Happy?

Laura: Thank you.

Here we go!

Chapter 1

Silver snowflakes tumbled from the clouded sky, landing on the earth's busy streets.

Rima, a princess from the Kingdom of Guardians, stood outside the palace, watching as the chill of winter began.

"Princess, you are still outside? Come, now, you'll catch a cold!" Kusukusu, Rima's young servant, called to the princess, beckoning her inside. "Besides, your mother is calling!"

Rima nodded, stepping inside the large palace where she had grown up.

Her parents, Tsumugu and Midori, were the rulers of the kingdom, well known for their kindness and passion for ruling.

Rima was the third of four sisters; There was Utau, the eldest, and next in line for the throne, Amu, her older twin sister, and Yaya, the baby of the family. All sisters were very different, yet so much alike.

As she followed Kusukusu to the throne room, she met up with Amu.

"...Hello, Rima..." Amu sighed. "What do our parents want now?"

Rima shrugged. "Another marriage meeting?" she suggested. "Well, for us and Utau, at least. Yaya's still only 13!"

Amu sighed. "Yes, but remember, we had to start going to marriage meetings at her age!"

Rima nodded. "Well, here we go..."

King Tsumugu and Queen Midori sat atop golden thrones, positively glowing with magnificence.

"Ah, my daughters, you've arrived!" Midori dipped her head to show that she knew her children had arrived.

"We have some exciting news for you!" the king announced, smiling. "Midori, my love, my queen, will you enlight our precious sparrows on our plan?"

Midori nodded, turning back to the four. "You are now old enough to go out and see the world, all of you. So, for 1 year, you will be living with the peasants, for...at least 6 months."

"6 months! Yaya doesn't want to leave for 6 months!" Yaya wailed, flapping her arms wildly.

"Yaya's right! I won't leave, either!" Utau spoke up. "This is our home, and you want us to go lie with peasants?!"

Midori nodded, a flash of annoyance showing in her eyes. "Precisely. It'll be a good experience for all of you. Now, for the rules..."

Amu and Rima exchanged a glance. They did NOT want to leave the palace, either.

Especially if they had to live with mere peasants!

"But what if-" Rima began.

"Ahem!" Tsumugu cleared his throat. "No more objections. This is our choice, and nothing you say can change that."

"Aha! Here we are. Rule number 1: NOBODY can know of your true identity except for your hosts, the Hotori family. Rule number 2: No falling in love. You cannot marry a commoner, according to the ancient laws. Rule number 3: You must find a job, and work there for the 6 months. I expect great things from all of you..." Midori's eyes glowed as she spoke. "You leave tomorrow. Good luck, all of you!"

Rima, Utau, Yaya and Amu looked at each other uncertainly. This would be a long 6 months.

Sorry it was short. The future chapters WILL be longer, promise!

So, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! :)
