One summer night in the magical land of Cephiro, a blue haired girl named Umi, who was the magic knight of water, could not sleep. So she went to the master mage Clef of Cephiro, to see if he could her fall asleep. On her way to Clef's room she thought more about what Hikaru told her earlier that day.

------------------------------------ (Flashback) -----------------------------------------------

"Umi, when are you going to tell Clef you love him?" asked Hikaru as the two sat in the middle of the garden enjoying the beautiful scenery around them of Cephiro.

"I don't know. What! How did you know?" Umi replied as she started astonished at the Knight of Fire.

"It is very easy to tell that you are head over heels for him. You stare at him enough for the castle to know you like him except Clef himself. Hikaru replied back to Umi as a nice warm breeze blew gently toward them.

"Oh. So the whole castle knows?" Umi asked worried that her secret was out to everyone, since she thought she hid it pretty well.

"YES!" yelled Hikaru. "Don't you remember when Clef sacrificed himself to save you from being crushed by the building and he was crushed instead of you. Also you were the first one to go search for him and you were the first one to run up to him when we found him. You were also weeping through the whole thing." Hikaru explained to her friend as they both stood up and started to walk along the path of the garden.

"Yeah I remember that. I am just glad he is all right. And he wasn't killed." Umi said to Hikaru as they continued down the path toward the palace.

"Just tell him you love or you will regret it for the rest of your life." Hikaru stated to her friend, so Umi didn't ruin her life and spend the rest of it in regret and misery.

------------------------------------- (End of Flashback) -------------------------------------

Once Umi reached Clef's door, she snapped back to reality from her little flashback moment.

'Should I disturb him, he might sleeping or in the middle of a book' Umi thought to herself as she stared at the door with her hand moving automatically towards Clef's door to knock without Umi realizing what see was doing.

*Knock** Knock** Knock*

After Umi had knocked on the door, is when she realized she had been the one to knock.

"Umi, what are you doing up so late? It is 2:00a.m." Asked Clef as he opened the door standing in only a plain turtle that was white and pants that were similar to sweat pants that were a dark color of blue.(I'm not really sure what he would wear to bed. I just know he wouldn't have his robe on)

"I couldn't sleep." Umi admitted to Clef as she stared at him, due to the fact Clef didn't have his normal, huge robe on that she was accustom to seeing him in. Since he did not have his robe on Umi was able to see how well built Clef truly was instead of having to imagine in her head. 'I couldn't sleep because I was thinking of you and now I will definitely have issues sleeping these days thinking of what you look like without you robe on.' Umi thought to herself as she stood in front of the master mage of Cephiro.

"Come on in Umi. I can make you a potion if you want." Clef suggested as he moved out of the way to allow Umi to come into his room.

"No, I'll be alright. I was just wondering if you don't mind if we just talked. Do you? If you want get to back to bed I can go find Hikaru or Claudia." Umi rambled as she walked into Clef's room nervously of how Clef would respond, hoping he would agree to speak with her.

"I don't mind at all. I couldn't sleep either. Maybe if we both discuss what is on our minds we will be able to sleep. So you may go first. " Clef replied with a genuine smile on his face as he shut the door behind Umi then lead her to his bed to sit.

"Well I was kind of wondering what you thought of me?" asked Umi as she sat down on the side of Clef's bed next to him both of them turned toward one another.

"I think you are wonderful girl, who's very smart and clever. And has a great opinions that comes from her heart. Clef complemented not understanding what she meant by her question

"I meant to say, do you like me? Umi asked trying to get Clef to understand her question since he didn't the first time.

"Of course I like you, why wouldn't I like you?" Clef replied back confused as to why Umi would ask him if he liked her which he thought was obvious. Not understanding what she really meant by her question, again.

"Ok, what I'm really trying to is d…o yo…u lo…v…e m…e? Umi stutter out as her face flushed up red and she bent her down in embarrassment.

"I could not understand the end part of your question could you repeat that, please?" asked Clef as he leaned down towards her a bit to her what she asks more clearly.

"Clef…, do you love me?" Umi asked again as she tried to hid her face with her hair, afraid of what Clef's response will be to her question.

Well I like this version better than my first. I hope you all like it to. I didn't like the other version with barley any details that didn't explain anything. Please review on what you think and if you don't like oh well hopefully you find a better story to read. I am going to fix all my chapters so they are better and so they match.
