No, I don't own Fuu or Ferio or Rayearth…*cries* This is a little pathetic
story I wrote one day when I was bored…
"Yesterday"
I can barely remember yesterday. Screams and swirling cold…that's all there is. Nothing else…no…there was a face, an image…who was it? I can't remember, I can't remember anything. It's slipping away…further away from me…
Chapter One
Fuu woke early on Saturday at six-thirty. She was just about to get ready for school when she remembered that it was the first day of winter break. With a heavy sigh, she fell back into her blankets, but couldn't sleep.
Fumbling for her glasses, Fuu sat up and gazed around the room. The room seemed strangely out of focus, even though she had finally put on her glasses. Suddenly, a shout from downstairs made her jump.
"Get up Fuu! You'll be late for school!"
Great, Fuu thought. I thought it was Saturday…I guess I had a dream last night that it was Friday.
Pulling back her sheets, Fuu glanced again at her clock. Yes, it did say that it was Friday. Groaning, she pulled on jeans, a green turtleneck shirt, and brushed her teeth.
Rubbing her eyes, Fuu squinted. For some reason, her vision was still blurry, as if she had spent too much time in a chlorine-filled pool. After stumbling down the stairs, Fuu was met by her angry mother.
"You better hurry up and eat, Fuu. You're already twenty minutes behind schedule."
"I'm not hungry," Fuu groaned drowsily, pulling on a thick jacket and gloves, and slinging her backpack over her shoulder. She then hugged her mother goodbye and pulled open the door, shielding her face against the swirling snow.
When Fuu got to school, she met up with her friends Umi and Hikaru in the warmth of the cafeteria. Putting her backpack and jacket on the table they were sitting at, Fuu greeted her friends.
"Hi Umi, Hika - " she stopped suddenly.
Umi was smiling secretly, and Hikaru was giggling as if also containing some sort of secret.
"What is it?" Fuu asked, confused.
"Oh, nothing," Umi tossed her blue hair back carelessly.
"No, c'mon, tell me," Fuu begged, wondering what her friends were hiding from her.
Hikaru could control herself no longer. "Fuu, Ferio's back!" she burst out happily.
Fuu blinked, then her eyes widened. "F-Ferio?"
Right on cue, an emerald-haired boy strode into the cafeteria, his startling golden eyes sweeping the tables. When his eyes came to rest on Fuu, he broke into a wide grin and wove quickly through the other students to her.
"Ferio!" Fuu cried in surprise and happiness, jumping up to greet him. "I missed you so much when you were in America!"
"Not as much as I missed you," Ferio smiled warmly and embraced Fuu. "It's been a long year," he said. They hugged in silence for a moment and then broke apart.
"So how was it, being an exchange student?" Fuu asked. Her mouth seemed to be fixed in a permanent grin. She could not stop smiling.
"It was fun, but it would have been a lot better if you had been there," Ferio winked at Fuu.
Fuu turned to Umi and Hikaru, who were both looking on at the reunion happily. "How did you know Ferio would be back?"
"He called us," Hikaru bubbled, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"Yeah, and he told us not to tell you," Umi added. "He wanted it to be…"
"A surprise!" Hikaru interrupted.
"Hikaru!" Umi yelled. "I was going to say that!"
While Umi shouted at Hikaru, Fuu and Ferio were in their own world.
"I'm so happy you're back," Fuu said, looking up into Ferio's eyes.
"I'm glad to be back," Ferio said. "I missed you a lot. Did you get my letters?"
Fuu nodded. "I saved them, and I read them every day."
Ferio smiled appreciatively. "I'm going to spend all winter break with you, to make up for lost time."
"That would be really great," Fuu said.
In their classes together, Fuu and Ferio passed notes secretly, and at lunch they sat talking and laughing together.
When the bell rang and school was over, Fuu and Ferio, who walked home, said their good-byes to Umi and Hikaru, who took the bus.
"So are you free tomorrow?" Ferio asked. "It's the first day of winter break."
"Yeah, I am," Fuu said. "It was so strange; today I woke up and thought that yesterday was today and it was already tomorrow."
Ferio frowned. "That was really confusing." – Fuu giggled – "I guess you thought that 'cuz you wished it was Saturday."
"That's what I thought too."
For a moment, they walked in silence, their boots crunching into the ice- covered sidewalk.
"Do you want to go to the lake?" Ferio asked suddenly, looking down at Fuu.
"Sure," Fuu said. "I don't think my parents will miss me. They're going to a Nutcracker play that Kuu's in."
"Really? I didn't know Kuu acted."
"Yeah – it's her first play," Fuu explained.
So the pair of them walked to the park, strolling through the almost deserted path; it seemed that everyone had retreated to the warmth and comfort of their homes. Trees towered around them, their branches mostly blocking the wind and light snow. Their breath rose in curls of cloudy white smoke, and Fuu's cheeks grew red from the cold. She drew her jacket closer around her and stuffed her hands into her pockets.
Fuu and Ferio walked off the path into a small, barely seen trail and finally came to the frozen, snow-covered lake, which they had found once a few years ago and hadn't told anyone about.
They went down to the bank, where Ferio dug in his jacket poket for something. Fuu peered at his pocket with curiosity.
"I wanted to give you something," Ferio said, pulling out his hand and holding out a small box. "I got it in the U.S."
"You didn't have to…" Fuu said, taking the box in her gloved hands.
~I know it's a weird place to end chp 1, but it fits in with the story. The next chapters just get weirder and weirder. ^_^;;
