"I will visit soon!" Fuu called to her family with a wave. Her bag was lightly packed with the essentials, though she was not going to need them where she was going. She was going to continue her life in the lap luxury. She was excited about her new adventure to come, but she wondered if she would be able to do it. There was a lot of pressure that her new job was going to bring. She heard her heals click on the cement. She held her head up higher then normal, and she seemed to be proud with every step and rhythmic click of her shoes. Today she was not a student a mere child, but an adult with an important job. Tokyo tower, the one place that she looked to for tranquility, she knew her friend were going to be there, but she had no idea on how she was going to tell them about her new job. She was even wondering is she should tell them. They would find out eventually and maybe by that time confrontation would be so hard to face.

            Fuu entered the tower and meet her friends standing in the same spot they always have from the first day they met. Umi still stood tall and slender. Her features were even more enhanced with age. She was born to model, and there was a possibility that she would have a job as one, but her art of fencing was always getting in the way.

            Hikaru still looked like she was in her adolescent stage of life, but her body gave away her maturity. She no longer looked like a small child except when she smiled, and once you realize she is still shorter then most people her age. Fuu always enjoyed seeing her. Hikaru was refreshing to talk to. She could always make Fuu laugh.

            "Fuu," Hikaru cheered as she saw her dear friend stroll towards them. Hikaru ran to Fuu and gave her a large hug. Fuu embraced the energetic redhead with a similar hug. Umi was next with a more delicate hug to her dear friend. The girls clasped hands together and closed their eyes. They vision a world of crystal blue skies, and bird like fish in the air. They thought of spring meadows full of vibrant flowers. Soon their thoughts became real. They were in the world of Cephiro. They stood before the gates to the great castle that held the pillar.

            Hikaru pulled the handles of the gate and opened their way into the castle. Before them was a taller man with eyes of blue and light purple hair. His long staff still overpowered his height.

            "Magical Knights, we have anticipated your arrival," Clef said with bow. Umi and Hikaru looked in shock at Clef. Confusion took their minds, as Fuu stepped forward.

            "I am glad that you were able to greet us," Fuu said to Clef with a bow.

            "I am mostly glad that you are here," said a low sweet voice from the shadows.

            "Ferio," Fuu whispered as she peered into the shadows. Ferio stepped forward into the light and took Fuu's delicate hand. He kissed the soft light skin with his lips. Fuu's cheeks went a shade of pink. Hikaru, Umi, and Clef stepped out of the room.

            "I have missed you so much," Ferio said as his tender lips brushed hers, as Fuu embraced the delicate kiss.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

            "How did you know of our arrival," Umi asked the taller Clef. It was different for Umi to be looking into Clef's eyes and not down into them. Clef coughed and walked forward ahead of the two girls.

            "All will be revealed into due time," Clef said calmly and then drifted into the shadows. He had found a nice way to hide from the disaster that was about to happen.

            "I hate it when he does that," Umi shouted as she trashed her fists into the air. Flames roamed around her as her temper rose. The blast of rage was subsided with a tinny giggle. Umi loomed over the Hikaru, who had a small tear drop on the side of her head and a tiny giggle. Hikaru tried to explain her laughter with a simple example, of it was their vacation, and there was not going to any battles this time. Umi thought for a moment and realized that this wouldn't be the first time they were thrown into a surprise battle without their knowledge. Then a familiar voice peaked through the silence.

            "Puu! Puu," chirped Mokona. Hikaru cheered and gave the soft puffy rabbit like animal a hug. Mokona kissed Hikaru and cheered violently. Umi joined in the celebration. After she discovered what he…or she…or it was, she had a more enjoyment towards the puff ball, except when he annoys her.

            "Mokona. Mokona," a small child like voice came over the laughter. Hikaru and Umi stopped and listened for the voice again. A long moment there was no child like voice. Mokona chirped cheerfully and stared off towards the garden. A rustle of satin was heard. A small child peered around a rose bush. Umi and Hikaru backed up for they could not believe what they saw. A small child possibly only five, stood before them. Her vibrant blue eyes were kind and accented by her golden hair. Her smile was sweet and she looked like the last pillar, Emeraude!
