Summon: What do we do?

Ascot: I dunno!

Summon: Writer's block sucks. Just make it up.

Ascot: K.



Ascot and Umi both went outside. "This is fun!" squealed Umi. Ascot rolled his eyes and said, " Whoopee." Umi looked at him and joked, "Is little Ascot bored?" Ascot gritted his teeth and answered, "No. I'm just pissed." Umi shook her head and grabbed Ascot's hand. She started running, with Ascot half-running, half-dragging behind her. "This is so much fun isn't it Ascot?!" yelled Umi as she slowed down. "No. It's stupid," replied Ascot. Umi looked at him and asked, "Come on now Ascot! Where's your sense of fun?" Ascot rolled his eyes and shrugged. "I left it." Umi giggled. She pushed Ascot to the ground and went over him, her chin in her hands while her elbows supported her. "I missed you so much!" Ascot gritted his teeth again and shoved her off. "Get offa me!" he yelled as he got up. Ascot looked at his clothes and complained, "Look what you did! My clothes are dirty! Oh great." Ascot dusted off some of the soil from his pants and vest. Umi got up too and placed a hand on her side. "Loosen up will you Ascot? You're so stiff," she said. Ascot rolled his eyes and made a sound of irritability. "Aw come on now!" cried Umi, "You were a lot more fun before! Now you're so… BOOORIIING!!!!!" "Good," muttered Ascot. Umi laughed. "What's so funny?" asked Ascot at her. "You are!" shouted Umi, "You're so cute when you're acting like that!" Ascot clenched his fist. "This is getting so damn irritating," he mumbled. "Whoa! Ascot!" yelled Umi in surprised. "What?!" asked Ascot really annoyed. "You cussed!" Ascot lifted a brow and asked, "So what?" Umi shook her head and answered, "Nothing. It's just surprising." Ascot started walking back to the castle. "Hey wait up!" Umi cried out. The two teens began heading back.

The two got back to the castle after a while. They were greeted by Caldina, Ferio, and the beautiful woman. The woman had long white hair and squinty, milky eyes. She wore some clothes similar to the ones Hikaru wore when she was on the NSX but they were the same color as Eagle's. "So there ya are ya lil' naughty boy!" scolded Caldina as soon as Ascot went in. "You guys need anything?" asked Ascot as he went in closing the door behind him. Umi didn't notice the door and it hit her nose. "Ow!" she cried. Ascot looked back and remembered Umi. He opened the door to see Umi clutching her nose. Ferio nudged Ascot and reprimanded, "Watch what you're doing Ascot!" Ascot just grunted and began walking away. Just before he disappeared, Tangeryin came running. "O-nii-chan!!!" she cried. Ascot turned around. "Tange! What are you doing here?!" he interrogated as he ran back to meet Tangeryin. Tangeryin paused to catch breath and answered, "You ran off all of a sudden. I got worried." Ascot smiled and hugged his little sister. Umi coughed to get Ascot's attention. "Huh?" Tangeryin looked behind her brother. "Hey I know you!" yelled Tangeryin. Umi looked at Ascot's little sister and said, "You're that girl I met in the forest." Tangeryin smiled. "So you remember?" asked Tangeryin. Umi nodded. "Introduce me will you?" nudged Tangeryin to Ascot. Ascot rolled his eyes and acquainted the two. "Tange, this is the Magic Knight of Water, Ryuuzaki Umi. Dearest Magic Knight, this is my sister Tangeryin." "Nice to meet you," greeted Umi. Tangeryin smiled and replied, "Same here." "Ummm… Excuse me please," interrupted the beautiful woman standing next to Ferio, "May I please have a word with you Ascot-san?" Ascot nodded and excused himself. "Who's she?" asked Umi as soon as Ascot and the young lady were out of earshot. "She's Eagle's lil' sister. Her name's Artemis. She helped Ascot with something important once. After that, Ferio arranged for her and Ascot ta marry," answered Caldina proudly. Umi's and Tangeryin's jaws dropped. "Marry?! Now I know that Ascot owes what's-her-name but… MARRY?!?!" exclaimed Tangeryin, "If you weren't the prince Ferio, I would have ripped you to pieces!" Ferio backed away, accidentally bumping into Umi. "Since when did you decide to betrothed the two of them?" asked Umi glaring at Ferio. "Uh… W-w-well… I… Y- you s-s-see…" Ferio stuttered as he looked to see if Ascot and Artemis came back, "Oh look! Hey Ascot! Hey Artemis! I have to go now girls. See you!" Ferio ran away with Caldina following him. Ascot came back. He was blushing red and smiling. Umi and Tangeryin both gaped at him. Silence filled the area. "What happened Ascot?!" asked Umi and Tange unison after awhile. Ascot looked at them and replied, "It's none of your business." "Tell me!" begged Tange. "I told you! It's nothing!" snapped Ascot. Tange began to pout and answered, "Fine. Asshole." Ascot left the two ladies and went to the direction Ferio and Artemis headed. "What's up with your brother?" asked Umi as soon as Ascot was gone. "Come with me. I'll tell you," answered Tangeryin as she began to walk outside. Umi followed closely behind.

"So what's up with your brother?" asked Umi after they had walked for a while. Tange turned to look at her. "Well, it's like this," answered Tange.

(Summon: Now Tangeryin will be narrating. It's a short story… Hopefully)

When you Magic Knights left, Ascot seemed very depressed and Debonair came back. Cephiro once again turned dark and people turned frightened again. He wandered the dangerous country side looking for something that he said he'll cherish. He came across me. Somehow he could tell I was closely related to me. Hah! I guess my chestnut hair and my lime green eyes gave me away. Anyway, he got to meet our parents who were dying after trying to defeat Debonair. Ascot shortly found out that he was separated from us when we were about five or so. Before that, my father, a great warrior, trained him in the art of fighting. My mother, a great summoner of Cephiro, thought him magic.

When he found out about his past, he couldn't believe it. I suppose it was because he found out all this while our father died in his arms. Ascot and I got introduced to each other. After that, I got to know him and we got used to having each other around. Well, we went back to the castle. Master Clef was about to summon the knights once again but Ascot couldn't have it. He volunteered to do the job himself. Everyone had doubts but I had a feeling that he could do it. After all, my father and mother did teach him all they knew. Ferio lost his doubt and agreed to let Ascot go.

It took a long, exhausting battle to defeat Debonair. Ascot came back alive but barely. He had wounds all over. He broke an arm, had his side slashed, and got stabbed near the heart. It was a good thing Ferio and I greeted him at the entrance. He collapsed the moment we got near him. Artemis was already here at the time. She nursed him back to health and Ascot owes her his life. I guess that's why that idiot Ferio got the two engaged.

(Summon: The end of Tange's story)

"So that's how it is?" asked Umi shortly afterwards. Tange nodded her head. "Because of that, people began to respect Ascot. Say one word that insults him to anyone, they'll get mad at you." Umi stuck out her lower lip and nodded (Summon: That sounds weird). "What can we do now?" asked Umi. Tangeryin shrugged and answered, "How about coming over our house." "That sounds good," replied Umi, "but what about your brother?" "He'll go home when he thinks it's time," answered the young girl, "You want to spend the night there?" Umi's eyes lit up with excitement and nodded her head. "Of course! That'll be fun!" she squealed. Tangeryin smiled. She ran outside and summoned a giant stingray. She hoped on the ray and helped Umi up. The two girls flew away heading for the summoners' home in the Forest of Silence.
