chapters may come out later than others. Thank you so much for reviewing my ficcies ;_; makes me so
happy, *sniffle*. On to the story!

It was the morning after the ball...
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Umi-san," Fuu said walking over to the breakfast table.
Umi's head was on the table. She was asleep.
"Umi-san?" Fuu tapped her shoulder.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Umi screamed and jumped out of her chair.
Fuu sweatdropped. "Gomennasai..."
A few minutes later, everyone else was at the table.
"So, where did you all go after the ball?" Caldina asked.
Six people blushed.
"I didn't see you at the ball at all," Caldina said.
They held their napkins over their faces and slid beneath the table.
"I don't get it..." Caldina wondered.
Sierra, Lafarga, and Clef ate their soup silently.
(I officially have my idea for this chapter now! :D! Plenty mushies from here on out in this ficcie ^_^.
I had to watch the whole MKR series again to get an idea X_X;. Let's get going then!)
A few hours after lunch, Clef called everyone to his room.
"We have a matter to discuss..." Clef's face was solemn. "The fact that the magic knights
can return to their world at any time is dreadful isn't it?" he continued.
Fuu snuggled into Ferio. Lantis wrapped his arms around Hikaru from behind her.
"So what do ya suggest we do?" Caldina asked.
Clef's face went dead serious. "I am capable of erasing the memories of you three on earth, but
if that happens, you may never return."
Fuu, Hikaru, and Umi gasped in shock.
"It's your choice, you can either stay here forever, or you can go back, possibly never to return."
Hikaru's face paled. Lantis hugged her tighter. Fuu's legs weakened. Ferio held her up. Umi's legs
buckled beneath her. Ascot caught her and helped her back up.
"You may take as long as you need to think about this..." Clef said, "but keep in mind that if
you take too long, you may be taken back to your world."
Hikaru sat on the bed in her room staring at the pendant.
"I can either spend eternity with Lantis, or..." Hikaru tightened her grip on the pendant.
She stood up and walked out of the room.
Fuu lay on her bed staring at the ceiling.
"Should I stay, or should I leave..." Fuu's eyes got teary at the thought.
She took out her communicator. "Ferio?"
"What is it Fuu?"
"What would you do if I went back to earth...?"
She heard a loud shattering on the other end.
"I would refuse to live..."
Umi paced back and forth in her room.
"Should I go to earth? Or should I stay here?" Umi thought.
"I have a family waiting for me on earth...but what do I have here?"
She stopped.
"Ascot..."
She flopped down on her bed.
"But I'm not even sure how much he loves me...I'm not even sure if he loves me in the first place."
She closed her eyes and thought.
"Maybe I should go ask him..."
Lantis heard a knock at his door.
"Come in."
Hikaru walked in.
"Hikaru..."
"Lantis..."
Lantis walked up to her and embraced her tightly.
"Lantis, I want to know what you would do if I went back to earth."
Lantis's face paled.
"I can't even bear the thought of living without you..."
"Lantis..."
"Umi's probably gonna leave..." Ascot thought to himself, "but that's ok, because death has always
been there for me..."
There was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Ascot asked sitting up on his bed.
"Umi!"
Ascot jumped up and opened the door for her. "What's the matter?"
"Ummm...I just needed to talk, that's all," Umi said smiling.
Ascot blushed. "So what do you want to talk about?" he asked shutting the door after Umi walked in.
"You probably already know..." Umi hung her head.
"The thing that Clef said?" Ascot had a small sign of pain in his voice.
Umi nodded. "I was just wondering...if...you..." Umi looked up at him. "really loved me..."
"I...uhh..." Ascot dropped his head blushing. "Ummm...I don't know how to put this..."
Umi dropped her head sadly. "I'd understand if you didn't, Ascot. I just needed to know before..."
"No. It's the exact opposite. I...I truly love you Umi..." Ascot said with his head still down.
Umi's face brightened up. "I have another question, Ascot."
"What is it..."
"What would you do if I returned to my own world?" Umi asked a bit too happily.
"I would...ummm..." Ascot paused. "I would kill myself, but I can't tell her that," Ascot thought
to himself. "I would have an empty place in my heart..."
Umi smiled. "Arigatou, Ascot! I have my answer now," Umi said standing up.
Ascot looked up at her. "Huh?"
"I'll go tell Clef my answer. Ja ne!" Umi left the room.
Umi arrived at Clef's. Hikaru and Fuu were already waiting her there.
"Do you have your answer, Umi?" Clef asked.
Umi nodded. "I have decided to stay in Cephiro."
"Sugoi! You get to stay with us, Umi-chan!" Hikaru said happily.
"Alright then, you have exactly an hour to do everything you need to do back on earth," Clef said.
He waved his staff and a portal appeared.
"When you enter this portal, you will appear back where you originally were on earth. You have
exactly one hour to go do your business and come back. If you take too long, the portal will close
and you'll stay on earth."
The three girls nodded.
"I wish you luck."
They entered the portal together.
Back in Tokyo Tower...
The flash of light disappeared.
"We're back in Tokyo...hey where's that portal that Clef made!?" Hikaru said a bit hysterically.
Umi and Fuu looked around for it.
"It's not here! How can it not be here!?" Umi screamed.

Purin-chan: Wow, my first cliffhanger O_O;. I'll get the next chapter up soon, I hope. Oh by the
way, this fanfic will NOT be over until I clearly type "THE END". Just so some people will stop
freaking out thinking it's the end already X_x;
