Nagihiko POV

This isn't so bad; I can't complain too much…I guess. We've completed the challenge; Rima's asleep peacefully and were not fighting. Why don't I have any powers? Didn't Ricky say I was Spring too? What? There can't be a Spring King? Wow, what am I saying? I sound stupid and childish.

Without realizing it I found myself laughing, the glints and flicker of memories and flashbacks happening in my head. Maybe this is why we ended up being Spring, because we met on a tropical island where the flowers were always in bloom and an intoxicating smell was always spread throughout the air. Where we met everyday, every minute and every night, together and alone.

Flashback

"Rima? Rima!" I called looking around; it was quite dark but thankfully the moon was luminousness tonight. Although the field seemed to glow I couldn't quite find Rima. I pushed pass some rather tall grass and overviewed the field.

"I know Rima loves flowers but this is just ridiculous now," I sighed finally going crazy, talking to myself.

"Nagi how do you lose your best friend?" I heard Rima's voice, but still couldn't see her, was she even within my reach? I could hear her voice; it was soft so we must be close. I looked over the tall flowers, completely forgetting the question.

"Nagi we're almost seven, how can you lose your best friend?" Her voice echoed and spread throughout my ears.

"That's not very fair, it's dark, your smaller and your late. Now where are you Rima?" I asked looking around…still.

I could hear her sigh, "I bet you'll end up losing me again when we're older, I just know it." She's not being fair.

"Ok you come out of hiding and I'll give you three wishes! That's a lot you know!" I called out to the field thinking she might be there.

"What happens if you're lying?" I heard her voice, I found it held hesitant moments.

"Then you have the right to be mad, you can even not talk to me, forever!" I exaggerated my voice just hoping she'd believe.

"No…that's too long, but I will be mad for a whole minute! That's like almost forever!" She laughed and…fell from the sky?

'. . .' was the only thing I was thinking. "I'm sorry I was looking for my best friend, not an angel," I said starting to walk away, "If you find her let me know," I waved.

"Wait! Wait!" I heard her call to me. I laughed silently and continued walking, "I wish you'd come back!" She yelled. "You promised, you promised," I heard her chanting to herself, crossing her fingers.

"I always keep my promise," I laughed as she fell over seeing me in front of her. "Are you like a fairy or something? You give wishes and vanish so quickly." She looked at me hard.

"I think the word your looking for is genie and in addition you now have two wishes Rima." I smiled.

She thought hard, or at least she made it look that way. "Where were you anyways?" I asked.

She looked and smiled innocently, "Sitting on that tree branch." Figures she'd do that to me….

"I wish you'd tell me why you don't call me Rima-Chan." She stated simply.

"What do you mean?" I asked to clarify. "Well Mama and Papa's friends are always calling me Rima-Chan, even though my last name is Mashiro." She tilted her head like a puppy.

"Rima," I laughed, "Chan is just a form of respect kind of thing you say to like girls and such like sama, san and kun."

"So you don't respect me now, hmmmm?" She gave me a glaring look.

"Next!" I chimed.

"What? That's not fair you didn't answer the question!" She pouted

"I did so! How could you think your last name is actually Chan we both know it's Mashiro! Anyways I answered and explained the meaning so that's like bonus points!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Rima mocked as we started walking towards the moonlit field. I easily caught up to her pace.

It was quiet at first, not a weird silence but a refreshing and relaxing silence. "You going to make your wish now?" I asked her waiting.

"I think I'll save it." She smiled. "What? You can't do that!" I complained.

"Yes I can, you didn't say anything about it in the rules." She giggled and ran ahead of me.

"You could at least wait for me! When I catch you I'm going tickle you Rima-Chan!" I smiled, she was already so far ahead of me, but she turned around and her childish smile was still plastered on her face.

"It's Rima! Not Rima-Chan or Mashiro or anything! You can only call me one thing and that's it!" Then her smile got softer, "For you it's Rima, just Rima." I paused and thought to myself, what's this weird feeling I'm feeling? I'm only seven it can't be a heart attack or anything. "Hurry Nagi!" Rima giggled. "Coming!" Whatever it is, I feel happy.

End of Flashback

Walking didn't feel so bad, I wasn't numb or tired, I don't know exactly what I was feeling. Out of all our times together, why I chose this one? Was it the way she pouted or looked? She's probably forgotten though or threw away the past long ago. If I were her I would too, but I'm not so I didn't. I brushed her bangs just slightly and continued walking.

I reached a cliff and noticed three other. Together the cliffs pointed in the center. The weird thing was the center where all the cliffs met was missing. No land or anything! Why did Ricky want me to take Rima here? Then all my questions were answered.

"Stupid Andrew, making me look jealous, thinking he looks like me! He did not even look like me one bit, only in his dreams he could," I heard muttering.

I put Rima down and yelled over to the other cliff. "Kukai?" I heard running and saw Kukai holding Utau the same way I did. "Nagi?" smiled putting down Utau slowly.

"I think I heard Kukai," I heard a meek voice. "Tadase?" I wondered.

When he popped out of the bush I was surprised, "Where's Amu?" I asked.

"I found her," Kukai pointed, "Ikuto's carrying her." That's when I saw Ikuto.

"Now all we need is Kairi and Yaya," I thought aloud.

"Over here!" I turned around, and Kairi was there, on the other cliff holding Yaya.

"I'm guessing we all won then?" Ikuto asked, putting Amu down like the rest of us.

"Yeah but it wasn't easy, I HATE those guys," I heard Kukai spat.

"Don't tell me," I said.

"Childish fools," Kairi added.

"Don't be like that," Tadase tried to calm us down.

"How can I be calm when some jerk is pretending to be me and hitting on my girl." Kukai argued. "Wait so you and Utau are?" I asked. "No!" Kukai answered immediately.

"I think what Tadase is trying to say is that," Ikuto started.

"Even though they meddled and caused problems they did get us closer to each other," Kairi finished.

"That's right!" Kusu-Kusu giggled.

"You've all made scars inside each other," El continued.

"Is it just me or are they glowing?" I heard Kukai asked, while everyone else were starring at the chara's or whatever spirits they are…ghost? Eh whatever, focus Fujisaki!

"But just like that," Miki continued

"Thanks to us," Pepe continued

"You've healed them!" Ran shouted.

"You've all started to shine inside and now our Queens shall outside too." Dia beamed.

With a clap of each chara's hands the girls started to glow? No that word did not justify what was happening, it was more then anything I'd ever witness and it was just magically.

"Rima?" was all that was able to escape my lips, before our eyes the girls outfits totally changed and each one another girl and style. They each slowly opened their eyes only to fall. Rima fell into me and slowly her eyes opened, a sleepy look entangled her eyes.

Rima's POV

"Nagihiko what's happening?" I asked pushing myself off but slipping back in process, then it all flooded back, "Where are we?" I looked around and noticed everyone with was safe, together, but dress differently? Don't tell me I'm…I looked at myself, yup wearing a dress. Mine was about up to my knee's yellow and orange, strapless, almost like a sundress…almost. Strap scandals and flowers in my hair. As much as it was weird, it felt right.

"Your safe Rima-Chan," Nagihiko smiled, I did too in responses soon after. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. "Um why are we all spread apart and on cliffs?" I asked.

"Easy!" It was Kusu-Kusu's voice, then I saw her floating in mid-air in between the cliffs.

"If you want to go home or at least meet up together," Pepe and Il smirked.

"Is find a way!" Dia, Miki, Ran and Su laughed. "Your final challenge good luck!" Together they disappeared.

"Amu! Yaya! Utau!" I called, "What do we do?" I asked.

"Yaya doesn't know! Yaya's the baby of the group!" She clung on to Kairi.

"Utau think of something!" Amu yelled.

"Me? Why does it always have to be me?" Utau argued back.

"Well what do you expect me to do? JUMP?" Amu yelled back.

"Of course not your to clumsy…" Utau muttered.

"I heard that!" Amu stuck out her tongue.

"I wouldn't never expect you guys too, so I'll do it!" Utau back up and was ready to jump.

"Utau!" We all yelled together. We were so glad to see Kukai hold Utau back, even if she struggled at first.

I turned to Nagihiko, "What now?"

"Why are you asking me?" He responded

"Your NAGIHIKO FUJISAKI, you know everything!" I exaggerated.

"Yaya's got it!" Yaya sang, "Yaya knows what to do, but you have to believe in Yaya!" I looked at Amu, Amu looked at Utau and Utau looked at me like a chain reaction and we nodded our heads 'yes'.

"Just follow concentrate your powers and you'll hear Yaya's instructions in your heads. Like we did back at the condo! Our bond is stronger than anything!" Yaya pumped, "Go with the flow…"

"Like a leaf that dances in the wind," Yaya breathed

"Like the minutes in a year…" Amu whispered,

"Like the sun shinning within a cloud," Utau chanted.

"Like a flower that'll always bloom," I echoed.

And even though our lives were in Yaya's hands and our eyes were closed for some reason I never saw anything clearer. Our connection was so strong I knew every thought they were thinking and maybe were weird but this weird feeling is friendship. I took in a deep breathe and was ready, I was now ready for anything…
