Authors Note: A clasic! Ferio meet's Fuu's parents. This story is dedicated to FuuMegami for always reviewing my work and loving it. To FuuMegami, the penguins say 'hi.'
"For you...anything." Ferio whispered to Fuu after she had asked him, hypothetically, what he would do to be with her if she had to go back to Tokyo. She blushed, as usual. She still blushed whenever he spoke to her. She felt so blessed to have fallen in love with someone so great. She lay her head against the base of his neck and closed her eyes.
"It's so strange, that no matter what happens to me, I always end up here...with you. I always get summoned back to Cephiro for some reason." Fuu said. Ferio smiled.
"I guess that's just the way it's meant to be." Ferio said in reply. Suddenly Fuu was sitting in her bed, her sister Kuu yelling for her to come downstairs. She realized that everything that had just happened was a dream.
"Fuu-Chan! It's for you! Hurry!" was what she heard. She got up, still in her nightgown, and glanced at the clock. It was 8:30 in the morning. She realized it was Saturday and yawned. She walked downstairs and over to the door. As she looked up to see who was at the door she gasped.
"Ferio!" she cried out in shock. Kuu looked at her younger sister.
"You mean you actually know this guy?" Kuu said in shock. Fuu nodded and showed Ferio in and let him sit on the couch. It was now that the problem hit. How would she explain Ferio to her family? She had never told them about going to Cephiro or about being a magic knight. Ferio knew that Fuu hadn't told her family about him, they wouldn't have believed her anyway.
"Ferio, this is my older sister Kuu." Fuu said, she then turned to Kuu. It would be a lot harder to introduce Ferio than it had been to introduce Kuu. She took a deep breath, "Kuu, this is Ferio." She left it at that, not trying to complicate things right now. Fuu's parents walked down the stairs, having heard the commotion in their living room. This would be the hardest thing Fuu would ever have to do. To introduce Ferio, the person she loved more than anyone, to her parents. Fuu smiled to her parents.
"Ferio, these are my parents, Michiru and Keichi Hououji." Fuu smiled. Ferio nodded.
"It's very nice to meet both of you." Ferio said, trying his best to be polite to Fuu's parents. Fuu smiled, took a deep breath and turned to her mother and father.
"Mother, father, this is Ferio." Fuu said. Her parents bowed their heads in a greeting so as not to seem rude, even thought they really didn't seem to like Ferio very much. Fuu could tell that her mother didn't like the fact that his hair was green, and her father didn't seem pleased about his clothing. Kuu on the other hand thought he was pretty cool and was wondering where Fuu had met him. Fuu sat down next to Ferio.
"So, Ferio was it, where are you from?" Michiru asked. Ferio looked at Fuu a moment and she nodded. There was no use hiding it anymore.
"I'm from Cephiro." Ferio said.
"And where is that again?" Keichi asked.
"Another dimension." Fuu replied. Kuu looked at her parents, then at Ferio, and then at Fuu.
"Fuu how could you have gone to another dimension without anyone noticing? Rather, how could you go to another dimension, period?" Kuu asked. Fuu took a deep breath and explained both of her visits to Cephiro and her relationship with everyone there, especially Ferio. Fuu's parents were in shock.
"Let me get this straight. His sister, some princess, summoned you to this Cephiro place to save it from this guy, but you ended up killing both of them and you met Ferio and fell in love with him?" Keichi said. Fuu shrunk back at her father's annoyed tone.
"Y-Yes, for the most part, that's exactly it." Fuu said. She knew when her father took this tone things wouldn't end well. She got up and ran out of the house to avoid any further questioning. Many people stared as she ran down the street in her nightgown, but she didn't seem to care. She was headed for Hikaru's house. From there she would have Hikaru call Umi over, and they would figure this out together. Fuu had trusted Hikaru and Umi ever since they first met. She reached the door and knocked. Tears streaked her face, and she breathed heavily from running so fast. The youngest of Hikaru's three older brothers answered the door. For a moment he stood there just starring at the girl on his doorstep, but suddenly came to his senses and showed her in. She looked up at him, still sobbing.
"Is...miss...Hikaru...here?" Fuu asked, gasping for breath between words. The boy nodded and led her into Hikaru's bedroom. Soon after her ran off, only to return five minutes later with Hikaru.
"Oh my god, Fuu! What's wrong?" Hikaru said as she instantly hugged Fuu to calm her down. Fuu sobbed on Hikaru's shoulder. Her entire plan to call Umi and have the both of them help her sort it out was gone. She just needed to cry right now. And Hikaru's was the closest shoulder that she could cry on. Hikaru looked at her brother.
"Call Umi. Her numbers in the book by the phone." Hikaru said. Her brother ran off and called Umi.
"Fuu what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Hikaru asked. Fuu looked up at Hikaru, something she was rarely able to do. (Because Hikaru's so short.)
"Ferio showed up at my house this morning." Fuu said. Hikaru looked at Fuu in shock.
"You mean your Ferio? The one from Cephiro?" Hikaru asked. Fuu nodded and explained what had happened. Hikaru looked at Fuu sadly.
"Oh my god! Well Umi-Chan should be here any minute now. We'll figure out something Fuu." Hikaru said. Within minutes Umi burst through the door and was at Fuu's side comforting her.
"Everything will be fine Fuu. I'm sure of it. You yourself didn't like Ferio at first, remember? Maybe your parent just need to get to know him, like you did." Umi smiled, trying to cheer Fuu up.
"She's right Fuu. Maybe they just need to talk to him." Hikaru smiled. Fuu nodded. She did remember not being quite as fond of Ferio in the beginning as she was now. Maybe that's all it took, for her mother and father to get to know Ferio. She hoped so.
"Thank you, Ms. Hikaru, Ms. Umi. You are my best friends." Fuu smiled. She hugged both of them and walked home, still in her nightgown. (Note: By this point it's probably about 11:00 am.)
"I'm home!" Fuu shouted down the hallway. She wandered around the house looking for everyone and found them up in the dining room talking.
"Fuu! There you are! We were all so worried!" Michiru cried as she ran and hugged her daughter. Fuu smiled.
"I'm sorry mother, I panicked. I went to Ms. Hikaru's house." Fuu explained.
"I should have known to call there." Kuu said, "It would make sense that you'd go to them." Ferio walked over to Fuu and hugged her.
"You scared us Fuu-Chan, especially me." Ferio said. Keichi nodded.
"Ferio at one point had gone looking for you. I had to go out and get him so he didn't get himself lost!" Keichi said.
"I'm really sorry I caused so much trouble for you all. I just didn't know what to do." Fuu said sadly. Ferio smiled.
"Your back, and your ok. That's all that maters Fuu." Ferio said.
"Right." Michiru said.
"And good news! Mom and dad like Ferio!" Kuu smiled. Fuu looked at her parents.
"You...do?" Fuu asked.
