I was waiting for my mom at home. Alone. I was supposed to go and visit Leo in the Fudal Era… yesterday!

"This is a good time to practice…" I thought to myself…well, who else would I be thinking to? No one was home, and I was extremely bored. I got so caught up in practicing, that I almost peed in my pants when the phone rang.

"Hello?" I said into the receiver.

"Hey T. It's Seiya." Seiya said.

"May I help you?" I asked.

"Yea, you do realize that everyone was expecting us there yesterday. And, you know what happens when Leo gets angry…" she sounded serious.

"I know. I just remembered too. Let's not even think about what Leo's going to do!" I replied.

"How about I call Holly and Crystal, and you tell your mom that we're leaving."

"Okay, see you soon!" I hung up. Seiya definitely got evil at some times, but she was one of my best friends. Holly and Crystal are also my best friends, though they are a year younger that Seiya and I. It doesn't really matter though.

I dialed my mom's number slowly…so I wouldn't get it wrong again. When I got her voicemail, I was furiated.

"Hey mom. It's Tiara. I was just calling to tell you that I'm leaving for the Feudal Era with Seiya, Holly and Crystal. I'll probably be gone for a while, so if school starts before I'm back, cover for me! Love you. Bye." I was content with my message. I put the phone down, and ran upstairs.

I grabbed my sweater and headed out the door. I was so glad that it was finally summer. I would've never had an excuse to miss school for long periods of time constantly. I had more than two months to hang out with everyone. I saw Seiya standing by Holly and Crystal's house, so I ran over there.

"Hey!" I shouted. Seiya turned and looked at me.

"Hi," she answered. "Holly and Crystal are getting ready."

I rolled my eyes. "They're going to take forever."

I had a strange feeling that something special would happen, to all of us.

When Holly and Crystal came outside, I was getting very impatient. I started running towards the well. If Leo was going to get angry, at least I'd get it over with first.

When we got to the well, Leo was laying on the ground sleeping. I kicked him to wake him up.

"What took you so long?" he screamed at me.

"Your mom." I replied, grinning from ear to ear. He stared at me, and gave me a noogie.

"I'm hungry. I want to go to Kaede's house and get some food." Seiya complained. Everyone agreed, so we started on our way. Holly, Crystal and Seiya were ahead of me. Leo was still standing by the well. He looked funny…in a strange way.

"You okay Leo?" I asked. I was concerned, he was my best friend, even if I wanted him to be more than that.

"Oh…yea, I guess so…" He replied glumly. I looked him in the eye.

"Tell me the truth." I demanded. He looked at me.
