An hour after the proposal Fuu left Ferio'

Chapter Two

An hour after the proposal Fuu left Ferio's room after they had a long, and rather boring talk about what they wanted for the rest of their life.

"I though they'd neva finish." Caldina said with a sigh.

"I know, one can only stand so much of that gooey gushy stuff gross." Presea said as she shivered.

"I think it's sweet!" Hikaru announced.

"You think everything sweet," Umi said.

"Puu! Puu!" Said Mokona.

"And you always say the same thing." Umi said as she rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Hikaru asked.

"Puu. That's all that marshmallow thing says!" Umi yelled.

"Oh." Hikaru said with a smile. "Don't be so grumpy either."

"Grumpy!?!? Who's grumpy!?" Umi yelled as she turned red.

"Why you are silly," Fuu said as she joined the group.

Everyone went SD for a minute and froze.

"Fuu. . ." Hikaru mumbled.

"Why are you all standing here?" Fuu inquired.

"Well. . ." Began Caldina.

"We were. . ." Ascot added.

"Heading to our rooms to get our bathing suits!" Clef finished.

Fuu raised an eye brow. "I did not know you owned one Master Mage Clef."

"Why yes Fuu! I have millions! I just don't wear them every day as you could understand." Clef replied.

"Well then, I shall go find mine and meet you at the lake." Fuu said then left them all.

"Phew! That was close!" Caldina said as she let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh now we must start work on an engagement party for Ferio and Fuu!" Said Presea.

"I just committed myself to wearing a bathing suit and swimming in the lake. . ." Clef moaned.

"Would you have rather telling Fuu that we were spying on them?" Ascot replied.

Clef wrinkled up his nose. "I suppose not."

Everyone broke and went off to get their swim suites, even Clef.

Hmmm Clef in a bathing suite. . . Umi thought to herself with a slight grin pulling at her face.

Ascot studied Umi's face as they both walked down the hall. It didn't seam to click in her mind that he likes her. No matter how many times he says I love you' she doesn't get it.

"Hmmm-hmm" Ascot said clearing his throught.

Umi gave him a funny look.

"Umm you see I was wondering if. .." Ascot began.

But Umi took off down the hall running. "See ya soon!" She called out as she ran.

He smacked himself on the head. She probably wouldn't even think of him as more than a friend. Never.

Ferio was still in a daze from what he and Fuu had talked about. He didn't even hear her talking to him.

"Ferio, Ferio!" She said loudly.

He snapped out of it and turned around.

"We're going swimming, you wanna come?" She asked.
