Incredible.
It's great.
Viva resort training!
Really great!
What magnificent natural beauty.
But it's chilly.
How dare you throw snow at me, ruffian!
Counterattack!
Roger!
Ah! Cold!
Looks fun!
We should join too.
So, Kukai's grandfather's place is in front of the training ground, right? Where is it?
Maybe that's it?
Amazing!
Wonderful!
Don't tell me he's a celebrity!
No chance at all.
Over there.
A temple?
The Snow Mountain resort isn't our training camp?
Like I said, we're training at the temple near the Snow Mountain resort.
It's my grandpa's.
Negligence!
Let's get skiing.
We were tricked!
Is everyone having fun?
Stop it with this character!
It's fine. It's fun, right?
Well, I guess.
Pretty fun.
Incredible, Amu's doing well.
That's not fair!
She did a character change with Ran!
Kukai, we can't lose either!
All right. Let's go, Daichi.
Character change!
It's a challenge, Hinamori!
Fine. I'm not going to lose.
Pretty good, Hinamori.
Same to you.
Amu!
Right!
Character transformation: Amulet Heart!
Playing here is dangerous.
Build it near the side of the path.
Sure.
Cold.
Of course you're cold.
Having a runny nose...
And being the heroine.
Amu, save me!
Wait!
Yaya, I'm coming now!
Fools!
I told you to come home before dark.
Sorry, Gramps. We just got carried away.
Negligence!
"Carried away," you say.
That is proof of your negligence!
Clean the halls to clean your soul.
Clean the halls?
So long!
How are we supposed to clean this hall?
Impossible!
Fools!
It's not "how to" or "how not to" at all!
Polish it just a little, and it will begin to shine.
Don't focus on finding a simple solution.
Even a long journey starts with the first step.
All right, start cleaning!
Cleaning, cleaning!
Why must I, the crown prince, have to do cleaning?
No slacking!
Go for it, go for it, Amu!
Cleaning, clean it, sparkly!
You help too!
What a pain.
I've had it. No more of this!
Such a pain!
Yuiki, calm down.
Okay. Then, Yaya,
this time around, we'll race.
A race?
Ready, go!
Wait!
Looks fun!
I'll try too.
All right, me too.
Oh, my.
If it involves cleaning...
I ain't gonna lose!
Move it! Move it!
Get out of the way, or I'll end your life!
Final lap!
Take that!
I'm tired.
But that was fun!
Who said you could play?
Fools!
After cleaning...
Now we have to cook for ourselves?
I'm sorry, everyone. Because of me...
Don't worry. It's fine.
Amu, I'm hungry.
I'm dying of thirst.
I think I just heard something.
It was the wind.
Just the wind.
Why?
Huh?
I can't cut this carrot!
No way!
I wonder when we can finish making our meal?
At times like these, it's Su's turn.
Su!
Chips, syrup, whipcream!
If you want cooking, leave it to Amu!
Who is this adorable girl? It's not my character!
Amazing, Amu!
Pretty good, Hinamori.
You'll make a wonderful bride.
B–Bride?
Choosing a bride based on cooking; that's old-fashioned! Like, from the Stone Age, isn't it?
Pretending again.
Did you all really make this?
I was sure we only had provisional ingredients.
Well I sort of... also...
Never mind, never mind.
Thanks for the meal!
Today's weather is also nice!
All right, let's play!
I wonder what that is?
Snow sculpting contest?
Making sculptures out of snow, right?
Is that made out of snow, too?
If you'd like, please participate.
Let's see...
The first prize is
a one-week stay at an expensive hotel?
It's that hotel!
We'll definitely win!
Hmm, we need to chip away at this?
What do you want to make?
How about a castle?
One made for a prince and a princess.
Did you just say "prince"?
Finally, the time has come
to build a castle for the king!
All right, my subjects. I'll let you work for me!
Everyone, let's get started!
T–Then, let's divide up the work into equal parts.
I'll make the roof.
I'll take the floor.
I'll make the cute decorations!
I'll make a tower that looks out over the world!
Amu, what's that?
Isn't it obvious? It's the gate!
More like the entrance to Hades.
It looks like it would collapse, if it weren't for that side.
I guess I'm not used to this. It's not my character.
That's right. If I character change, then instantly...
Miki, you're good at this, right?
If I character change with you...
No way.
Just like that?
Why?
It feels like cheating.
It's not! Even you said that a character change brings out the potential sleeping inside of me.
The use of my inner talents is my choice!
Character changes and character transformations are potentials that sleep within you.
However, they are not yet your real strengths.
Saying, "I can't do this," or, "I'm not used to it."
Do you like the you who says things like that?
If you're going to be like that, the ability may really disappear.
What's that about?
First, I'll make a ball.
That was fun.
Sorry. I got carried away.
Tomorrow is the last day.
We have to keep working.
What's wrong, Amu?
Nah, its nothing.
Let's go buy some gifts. I'm hungry, too.
Well, there's a hot spring nearby. Should we head there?
Yeah!
Delicious!
Stop that!
Saying, "I can't do this," or, "I'm not used to it."
Do you like the you who says things like that?
Anyway...
Anyway, it's who I am.
What's up with that? Even though you just appeared and started controlling me.
Ate red bean cakes. Bought some gifts. I'm satisfied.
Yaya?
There's something I forgot to buy!
That's terrible. Let's head back immediately!
Isn't tomorrow okay?
Just come, come!
Hey!
Amu and Hotori, you two should go on ahead!
What's going on?
Who knows?
Well, should we head back together?
Together?
A graveyard.
Are you scared?
Of course not! Monsters and ghosts don't exist!
They must exist, since Guardian Charas exist too.
Don't worry. I'm here.
Watch your step.
Okay.
Seems like he might feel the throbbing of my heart through my hands.
I hope I don't start sweating.
I–In any case, I should talk about something.
Y–You know...
What?
U–Um, what was it?
R–Right. Before, you said you liked someone.
Who would that be?
Dummy.
What'll I do if it opens some wounds from heartbreaks?
Oh, that was about...
A dog?
She's really a girl.
Her name is Betty. We'd been together since I was born, but she died last year.
So the person you liked was...
There's no doubt that she was the girl I loved the most.
I'm not good at receiving confessions.
So I always character change and have Kiseki refuse them.
But lately, there has been a girl I'm very interested in.
Suddenly, she appeared before me.
Since we're both guardians, I thought we shouldn't,
but I can't forget about her.
Does this mean...
I'll say it openly, Hinamori.
Yes?
Bright, a positive thinker, and really strong. It was the first time I'd met a girl like that.
A girl like Amulet Heart!
Pardon?
That means you love my character-transformed self?
"L–Love" is a bit too...
What was that?
Sorry!
It's fine.
My regular self isn't seen as an object of love at all.
Did we startle you?
Was that you guys?
We shouldn't have made that noise!
Really?
Well, let's go, Hinamori.
Cold.
What's wrong, Amu?
I can't seem to sleep.
Really?
Tadase said that he likes Amulet Heart.
That was surprising.
Amulet Heart is not me.
That's not true!
Don't try to comfort me.
Amu...
Is this what they call "unrequited love"?
Amu!
What was that for?
Amulet Heart is your would-be self.
So, um...
Inside of you, Amulet Heart exists, and...
So, therefore....
Ran?
Character changes and character transformations are potentials that sleep within you.
However, they are not yet your real strengths.
Saying, "I can't do this," or, "I'm not used to it."
If you're going to be like that, the ability may really disappear.
So, you see,
your would-be self is, um...
Don't focus on finding a simple solution.
Even a long journey starts with the first step.
A long journey starts with the first step?
Right, right! That's it! That's it!
Ran, stop acting weird!
I'm not acting weird!
Thank you, Ran.
Amu!
It's still the middle of the night.
Come here too, you guys.
Amu!
My would-be self?
It's still far off, but if I try hard, then maybe I will get closer.
Yeah!
Definitely.
I'm sleepy.
It's still early. Where are we going?
To fix what I couldn't do well yesterday.
I can't do this too well.
You really don't want to character change?
Right. I have to try.
On my own, even if it's just a little.
Amu!
Go for it, go for it, Amu!
Go for it!
Amu?
Why are you here?
I thought I would fix some of the bad parts.
Amu, you too?
Yeah.
Let's work hard.
Okay!
Huh?
Amu and Nadeshiko!
Yaya!
Don't tell me, the rest of you...
I wanted to keep it a secret!
But you guys beat us, eh?
Everyone thought the same thing.
All right! Let's go!
Right!
Look, look!
Even if it doesn't go the way I thought it would,
little by little...
Even if it's just a little right now,
I can get closer to my would-be self.
I was wondering what all the fuss was this morning.
My palace is complete!
What the heck is this?
Amu's creation is definitely the gates of Hades.
And Kukai made soccer balls for some reason.
Nadeshiko's work is the Japanese-style rooftop.
Yaya did the ribbons.
And Tadase's aspiration is the grand tower! The world is ours!
How did it turn out like this?
Why?
We didn't win after all.
That was obvious.
But it was fun.
Yeah.
Wasn't it?
Gramps?
It's too bad you didn't win.
Oh well.
But how did you know?
Well, I think it's good to try and do something for yourself.
I've made lunch for everyone today.
Grandpa's special vegetarian diet for enlightenment, a full course!
Vegetarian diet?
And it's a full course?
Fools!
Don't act like it's your own house!
Well, I am hungry.
I wonder what kind of food it is. Sounds fun!
Okay, let's hurry and eat!
Next time, we're having a Christmas party.
Sounds real fun!
Next time on Shugo Chara:
A Sad Christmas Eve.
Huh?
At least spare me from a sad Christmas!
Amu's Christmas...
What's going to happen?
Here's the information for everyone about presents.
The program's theme song CDs,
original manga,
and Shugo Chara goods sets.
We're giving these gifts away to ten people.
Please send us a post card at this address
and include the information on the screen.
Everyone, I'll be waiting!
