Celesti's P.O.V. 

"Me, be a guardian. Please, not even one thought," I say as I walk on the sidewalk. It's late at night and I don't want to go home right now. I don't even know where I am right now. I walk past an alley and see a boy. I hide behind the building but he sees me. 

"What do you want?" he asks. 

"Character change," Yukie says. A skinny black ribbon appears on the side of my head. 

"Excuse me, but don't you greet people before asking questions," I say annoyed. 

"Character changing, huh," he says. 

"Whatever. What's your name?" I blocked off Yukie's character change. I didn't need a chara change to act like myself. 

"And why should I tell you that?" he says smoothly as he gets up and walks towards me. I didn't flinch, or run, or anything. 

"Becuase I wanna know," I say, brushing off the fear that was all around me. He leans close to me and whispers in my ear. 

"Ikuto. The black cat of misfortune," he says as he walks away. I notice a key on the back of his violin case. 

"That key. I have one just like it," I take my key out of my pocket and hold it up. "Plus I see your character. Cat ears,huh? I know a girl who has a chara with cat ears like that too. Amu has the lock for it and my brother has a key too. The lock...it has numerous keys. Probably only one of them is the true key out of all the originals," I tell him. He stops for a moment, then leaves. He's a mysterious character. 

I leave the alley and keep walking. That alley cat got me all mixed up. I didn't know where I was going, but I just kept walking. I saw that girl who tried to pick a fight with Carter. Vestialyn was her name? I hid behind a tree. Wow, I just see everyone tonight. 

"I don't wanna be friends with them," she says to thin air. Is she crazy or something? I look closer to see two guardian characters. Two? Amu has four but how does she have two. They are opposites, I can tell. 

"You should be true to your heart," one of the charas says. 

"She should stay how she is, Lumiere," the other says. 

"You should be true to your heart, and don't listen to Phoenix," Lumiere repeats. 

"You two are annoying," Vestialyn says and she starts to walk away. 

"Wait!" both characters say at the same time and fly towards Vestialyn. 

I walk away and soon get back home. I go to the side of the house and cimb up the rope I made to my room and shove the rope in my backpack. Carter was in my room when I climbed through the window. 

"Are you serious? Sneaking out like that?" Carter asks. 

"I needed to breathe and I couldn't do it in this place," I say. Carter sighs and leaves the room. He muttters something under his breathe and closes the door. I lie on my bed. So Vestialyn, Mika, and this kid off the street named Ikuto have guardian characters. Interesting.

Carter's P.O.V. 

Why did Celesti have to be so smartmouthed? Why did she have too be... I thought. I wanted to be like her. I didn't want to be Mr. Perfect and Mr. Responsibility. I hated all the weight put on my shoulders to do anything my parents asked perfectly while Celesti got to sit back and relax. I hated it. I was just being used. Used to do what ever my parents wanted. I was the like a puppet on strings, my parents the puppet masters. I had strings and was free to do nothing. I was never free. Celesti was like one of the kids who came to see my shows. So free. When I would be put away, I longed to be her. I longed to live in a world where I had no strings attached...
