Friend or Foe?
"Bye! I'll be back by dinner! " A young red-head girl yelled back to her three older brothers. They peeked outside and watched as she ran off. They were used to her leaving everyday after school and earlier during the weekends to go to Tokyo Tower with her friends Umi and Fuu. What they really wanted to know is what the three of them did for so long. The eldest brother, however, wanted to let Hikaru keep her secrets and dragged off her curious brothers who wanted to follow.

A young girl wearing a frilly dress ran out of her front yard. She stopped and looked back as her sister's footsteps drew near.
"Where are you going? Tokyo Tower? Bring me back some pastries, okay? "
Fuu laughed at her older sister Kuu and nodded, running off again, grinning from ear to ear.

A long, blue haired girl trotted away from her own home and watching parents. They waved and looked at each other.
"I wonder if Umi has fallen in love? " her mother asked, turning to her father. They stared at each other lovingly and turned around to go back inside their living room, talking about how wonderful love was.

The three young women stood inside Tokyo Tower and stood in a circle, holding hands. They willed themselves to travel to Cephiro. A bright light flashed and they all appeared inside a room where two men stood. They greeted Ascot and Ferio kindly as the rest of their friends walked inside. They were greeted with hugs from Caldina and Presea as Clef and Lantis waited nearby with waves and grins. Hikaru and Lantis left to check on Eagle, who was still recovering from an illness, while Fuu walked away with Ferio to talk about how everyone was doing. Umi dragged a blushing Ascot towards one of the many gardens in the castle to pick some fruit for later. Clef and Presea watched as the women from another world walk off, happily.
"The women from another world have been quite happy, don't you agree? " Clef turned to Presea who smiled and nodded happily. They walked off to prepare a snack for the previous magic knights while talking about spells and armor.
One hour later everyone inside the castle were sitting down eating, drinking and talking about spells, weapons, their lives and anything else they could think of that would interest the people nearest them. Umi and Ascot were reaching for some fruit when their hands grabbed the others and Ascot blushed and shot away and everyone else laughed. Umi smiled politely as she handed him one and she picked one up for herself giggling. Hikaru was just about to get more fruit when there came a slight knock on the door. Hikaru seemed to be the only one who had heard it and turned to Clef.
"What was that?" He looked confused. "The knocking sound-" she stopped, everyone was looking at the doors as a louder knock entered the room.
"Come in! " Clef yelled, looking as confused as everyone else. The giant doors opened and they all stared at the person standing there. A young girl with her dirty blonde hair in a braid reaching down to her knees wearing clothes just like Ascot's stood at the entrance, with half of her face hidden in shadow.
As she raised her head, revealing her face with a grin spread over it, she looked directly at Clef with hazel eyes.
"Hey."
