The Outside World

"The story of the "Prince and the Raven" has come to a final ending and they are combined with the outside world again. ."

Could there be another story attached to the outside world, or is it really like this in the outside world? Or maybe.. It was inevitable for them to see the outside world?

Wishes of living things are one of the most powerful feelings in their heart. They would give anything just to obtain.. Just like returning your normal self.

At a lake of the town, there sat a writer holding his paper and pen by the end of the pier. Along with him, their swam a small yellow duck. The writer's name was Fakir, and Ahiru was the name of the duck.

Fakir looked up thinking deeply for his stories while Ahiru looked at him with her blue warm eyes, but it looked at him with concern. He had the ability to turn his stories to reality, but he couldn't write a scene that the little duck could turn back into a girl again.

The prince, Mytho and the raven princess, Rue lived happily after by staying by each others side forever. Fakir promised the same thing to Ahiru, only Ahiru's ending was still tragic to him.

He made a big sigh, he stood up looking at the moon rising up as the sun sets. "C'mon Ahiru.." Ahiru flapped her wings surfacing from the lake and walked beside Fakir's side.

Both of them arrives home, Ahiru settles herself on the couch while Fakir helps out Charon cook dinner.

Ahiru looks at Fakir make their supper, seeing his down expression. She could see that Fakir can't help her turn back into a real girl again.

"Oh Fakir, I forgot.. You have a special guest.. Two of them actually," Charon said with a smile as he turns off the stove.

"Two guests?" who could they be? Fakir thought.

Charon goes to the stairs, looking up, "You can come down now guys,". Fakir and Ahiru looks over to see their special guest.

Footsteps came down and their faces slowly show, Ahiru and Fakir's eyes suddenly widen and their mouths gasp. One was a guy with white hair and a girl who was a brunette.

"Mytho! Rue!" Fakir gasped going to them.

"Quack!" Ahiru jumped on a table to get a higher view of them.

"Why are you here?" Fakir asks,

Mytho smiles at them, "We came to visit you.." then his face turns serious, "And something to discuss with you."

"Discuss?" "Quack?" the two wondered.

They all sat in the living room and the two guests were served tea by Uzura. "Here's your tea-zura!"

"Thank you.." the two said and took a sip of their tea.

"So what is it you want to talk about?" Fakir asked. Ahiru jumps on the couch to listen as well.

Mytho puts down the cup, "You know ever since the story ended the town went back to normal right and that the gates have opened to the outside world?"

Fakir nodded, "Yes.. What about it?"

"Ever since people started going out of the outside world, they never came back and never came in this town anymore." Rue said,

"Quack?!" Ahiru's eyes widened of the shocking news,

"I've heard about it before.." Fakir said putting his two fingers under his chin, "I heard it from Aotoa.. They say you could only come back from the outside world if your wish is granted and that you could go to the outside world if you have a wish.."

"Could this be another one of Drosselmeyer's story?" Rue wondered, "Maybe he wasn't satisfied with the happy ending that he wanted to write a new story that would bring another tragedy?"

Ahiru just sat there, hoping she could also say something regarding the news. She could only quack out reactions. She thought that she cant help Fakir and the others if they were to do something with this matter. But knowing Mytho's kind heart he would never leave a casualty like this lurking about. Ahiru wishes to help out again, but she didn't have the power of Princess Tutu anymore. She feels useless that she plans walking out of this conversation.

"What if the outside world could grant a wish that could grant Ahiru to become a girl again?" Fakir said,

Ahiru blinked and looked at Fakir. His face had a slight expression of hope that she could become a human again. Fakir, your thinking of so many ways to turn me back she thinks to herself. She smiled looking at Fakir's hopeful mind.

"Your right.. Then we would be able to go out the outside world to investigate and at the same time we could wish for Ahiru to come back. " Mytho smiled shifting his eyes to the hopeful duck.

Rue stood and picked up Ahiru, smiling at her, "Then I could dance with my friend again or should I say best friend.."

Bestfriend? Ahiru's eyes sparkled with delight and nodded. Mytho stood, "Right. Tomorrow we meet at the main entrance of town and set fourth to the outside world…"

All of them nodded, settling their new quest. The couple left Fakir's house going back to an inn their staying in because their castle was far.

Fakir and Ahiru looked at each other, Fakir smiled at her with a face full of hope knowing he found a way to bring her back to a girl. The two went up to Fakir's room along with Uzura playing her drums chanting "wish wish wish wish" with every beat of her drum.

Fakir went in to take a night shower while Ahiru stared outside to look at the shinning moon with a smile in her face. She finally had hope that she could turn back to a girl, she was so excited that she thinks she cannot sleep tonight.

Fakir got out of the shower wearing his sleeping clothes, he hanged his towel on the chair. He saw Ahiru looking at the moon with her smile, he also smiled, he didn't see her smile like that ever since she became a duck again. Fakir then picked her up in his arms giving Ahiru with a surprised expression. He laid in his bed, into the blanket and laid down Ahiru beside him with his arm around her body pulling her closely to her. A light blush covered her face, she could feel his light breathing that she shivered a bit. Fakir thought she was cold so he wrapped his other arm around her to give her extra warmth. Ahiru and nestled in his arms , closing her eyes with her face still red and a happy expression.

"I'll hold you on like this again when you've become a girl again… Ahiru" Fakir thought and he slept.
