Well, here's this fic that I never thought I'd post here.

And the name is REALLY "NAME PENDING" It's not pending... it's really called "name pending"


Name Pending

By Bean

Chapter 1

Fuu sat in the garden of the palace, watching, from a precarious perch in the tallest tree in all of Previously-Cephiro, as the little dots of her friends and loved ones had tea about three city blocks away. Sighing, she held her chest above her heart. Her white turtleneck sweater only added to the heat that seemed to be emanating from her very soul and being.

'Cephiro is a place where one's will decides all. Even now, without a pillar, the world can be beautiful, just because people wish it so. If that is really the case… then why can my heart never settle here?' She let one leg swing down into the empty air beneath her, feeling no fear of the drop beneath her. A red-hot blush burned across her cheeks. 'Why can I think of nothing but him? I used to be so level-headed, too… I cannot believe I flunked my final in trigonometry… mathematics is normally my best subject.'

"…Fuu." A deep, rumbling voice echoed in her mind. Windom. She smiled.

"Yes?" she asked pleasantly.

"You are troubled." The Rune-God seemed to be worried. Fuu was genuinely touched.

"It's nothing, Windom. I promise. It is just heart sickness. I'll be fine once I finally gain some self confidence." She smiled and giggled. "I'll be fine."

The Rune-God seemed to hesitate. "Very well." And it was gone.

Ferio walked beneath the tallest tree in the largest garden. Glancing up, he could swear he saw a blue and white dot in the highest branches. He blinked. "Fuu?"

The dot squeaked and wobbled for a moment. In the tree, Fuu grew even redder. 'Ferio! Oh, no! I-I can't face him when I've been thinking what I have!'

"Fuu! Come down!" He called.

She blinked and blushed. "U-uhm… Can you give me a minute or two? I-it's hard to maneuver!"

He watched, in a certain awe, as she made her way from one branch to the next, completely confident in her ability to get to him safely.

Fuu, however, was mentally spazzing. 'Oh, no! My palms are all sweaty… I'll never—'

Ferio watched in horror, as Fuu tumbled from her branch to the ground at an insane speed. She squeaked, not screamed, as she plummeted toward him. Bracing herself for impact, she thought. 'It seems my calculations were off. I will not pass out before impact…'

Then, just a few feet before hitting the ground, she felt herself nearly stopped, and then, landed, safely, with an 'oof' on something soft. Ferio smiled, as his scarred nose was just a few inches away from hers, and then grimaced in pain.

She scuttled away. "Ferio! Are you all right?" Panicing, she took him in her arms as he coughed.

"I-I meant to catch you. It didn't work out very well, now did it?" He sighed as he coughed again, and noticed that his ribs hurt. Fuu noticed his pain as well.

"Sit still, Ferio." She held him a little further away as she preformed 'Healing Wind' for all his injuries.

He sat up, blinking, on his own. "Thanks. I needed that. I've been looking for you." He added, bluntly.

Helping him to his feet, she sighed, dusting off her blue denim jeans. "What did you need me for? Has something happened?"

He laughed. "Does something have to be wrong for us to talk, now?"

She blushed, biting on her knuckle, looking away. "N-no… you just seemed so… serious."

Ferio grinned again, taking her free hand and kissing her. "When it involves you, I'm always serious."

"Don't tease me. Please." She blushed hard.

"I'm not, Fuu, I promise! I just wanted—"

"There you two are!" Master Mage Clef stood behind them. "I've been looking everywhere for the two of you!"

Fuu flinched, hiding her face from him. Clef had become increasingly anal about their relationship, feeling that, as a prince, Ferio should not be starting up romantics with someone as "lowly" as a magic knight. They both hated it. He could not stand to see them together without having a major conniption fit. It was the same for Lantis and Hikaru, as well Ascot and Umi. They were all starting to hate the Master Mage.

"I need the two of you in the central garden immediately. If you see any of your friends, tell them to be there too. It's important."

They both nodded, and started the short trek back.
