Author: Ugh, I don't WANNA SAY IT! *idea* Oh Fakir!

Fakir: What?

Author: Say the disclaimer please!

Fakir: *Glares*

Author: Say it or I'll turn this story into a tragedy! ^^ And you won't get to see Ahiru-chan in the flesh! Right, that is what you want? Correct?

Fakir: *Blushes and looks away, folding arms* SweetSoul3155 Doesn't Own Princess Tutu. There, you happy yet?

Author: Yup, oh and, here is a picture of Ahiru-chan all nice and human for you! *Shoves into his hands and runs away laughing*

Fakir: …

Ahiru: Hey, what you got there?

Fakir: Nu-nothing! Absolutely nothing! *Runs away*

Ahiru: Bu-but FAKIR! *Chases after him*

~ Fakir's Prov. ~

'I have to find her!' You tore down the streets; looking every which way you could to find Ahiru. The new pendent was grasped in your hand glowed brightly as you think, 'What does it mean? "That was which three forms in one, shall return to conquer evil again," It has to be Ahiru, so it means she is going to go back to human if I give this to her? Okay, then this other sentence scares me, "Through Trials of time, and Test of self,may she remain in one." I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this!'

Finally reaching your house, you slam the door open and ask Charon, "Have you seen Ahiru?" Bewildered, he shakes his head no and states, "She went out a few minutes ago, you can try and find her if…you…like…" You ran off before Charon finished his sentence and he sighed.

You knew where she was, The Lake of Despair, she always swims there.

~ Ahiru's Prov. ~

You look at yourself and wonder, 'It's amazing what a three months can do to a duck,' Your feathers have mostly have turned to white except for the tip of your wings. You had matured; you know that well now and were quite excited you weren't a flat-chested duckling, but mainly a swan.

Looking around, you can't help but feel a tug coming from your heart to the lake. Your eyes furrow, but you think, 'My hearts never lead me wrong.' And begin to waddle to the lake. As you get to it, you can't understand the deep NEED to swim in it.

Warily, you enter the lake and notice a fog rolling in. Your eyes widen as you look down into the water and see a person in a white cloak smile and say, "To you who have suffered in silence, I grant you the gift of being a girl and Tutu once more, but head my warning. For you, this is the road you must take to get what you desire, but this road contains many dark twist and turns. Traps and test will be set for you. Do you except this change of destiny? Or do you remain as you are?" Shocked thoroughly, you gain your courage and say/quack, "Qua-Quack Quack Quack. (I WILL take this road.)" Nodding, the figure in the water condones, "So it is said, so it shall BE!"

A sudden rustle through the bushes nearby, someone rushes out and screams, "AHIRU!" You turn your body to Fakir as a forceful wind snatches the shining pendent from his hand and is thrown over your head. You close your eyes as the metamorphosis takes place and a golden light shines from you. You feel you feathers leave, hands, legs, and hair growing in place. Your hair grew to you knees and darkened a shade, twirling in waves around you. You are set in front of Fakir as you feet touch the ground since a long time.

As your eyes open, you notice some weight in your front and long, orange hair free from its braid covering your body. Fakir stares at you in shock as his face turns red and he unbuttons the plain white shirt he is wearing and hands it too you looking away. Smiling you put it on quickly and hug him, standing on your toes. "Fakir…" your own voice wondered you as it turned soft over the time you were a duck. He wraps his arms around you as he whispers, "Ahiru…" You nuzzle into his hair and he tightens his grip on you. Breathing in deeply, you murmur, "Fakir, Thank you, for caring."

You had a second chance. And things were going to go right.
