Together Again: Chapter 2 - Return to Cephiro
"Oh no! Not again!" Umi whimpered shaking herself back and forth (chibi style) as she fell through the sky of Cephiro. "It's alright, Umi." Fuu called. "Fyula should be coming any second now." "Ah, I know." Umi sighed. The falling seemed to last for hours. When Hikaru was about to blow chunks, Fyula finally came. (Fyula is Clef's pet flying fish -^.^-). "Phew! That was a close call." Hikaru sputtered, clutching her chest. Boing. Umi had just landed on her back. "Ouch." Umi grunted. She slowly pushed her bag and surfboard beside Hikaru, (who was later joined by Lantis) so she could have room to breathe. "Ahhhh! Watch out, Umi!" Umi's eyes shot open to see Eagle falling towards her. Crack. Eagle landed right on top of Umi. "Ouch!" Umi fumed, rubbing her red nose. Eagle's head was beside her neck, his hot breath sending chills down her spine. "Are you ok, Eagle?" Umi asked uncertainly. "I'm fine." Eagle stated, supporting himself with his elbows, while his forehead leaned against Umi's. Umi blushed. Her hands slowly slid up his shoulders, trying to push him away. (..sweet. ^.~)! He stayed put staring into her ocean blue eyes. (Heh, heh, heh. ~.^)! Umi's gaze slowly met his as he leaned in. (Do it! Do it! *.~)! Umi closed her eyes as his lips closed in, almost touching hers. (It's going to happen! *-*) "Umi?" a voice suddenly called. (Ah man. That was so close! !_!)! Umi's eyes opened. Eagle was still on her, but his head was turned towards Fuu. She had a *sweat drop* at the side of her head. "Ummm.." Umi stuttered blushing, pushing Eagle away from her. Eagle was also blushing. He was smirking, rubbing his head. Hikaru, Lantis, and Ferio were all gawking at Umi and Eagle. *sweat dropping* Silence. "AHA haha. We weren't doing anything! Honestly! You know how friends get." Eagle laughed innocently. *sweat drops* Umi was turned around, her face a shade of red. ".. Yeah .. right." Ferio said slowly but then winked at Eagle. "Well then, lets just leave them in peace." Lantis gave Eagle a double thumbs-up sign. Hikaru and Fuu were still eying Eagle and Umi suspiciously, but then drifted back into conversation. Umi sighed relieved. When she turned around, Eagle caught her lips. He gave her a quick kiss. Umi was shocked at what just happened. Then she was interrupted when he kissed her again, but deeper. Whispering could be heard in the background. He let go after a few seconds. "You know how friends are." Lantis said chuckling from behind Eagle. This Eagle didn't blush, but Umi . . . . she hid heard face in Eagle's chest. (Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'. *.*)! "Don't worry Umi. Lantis and I have had the same experience with Fuu and Hikaru. . . . just the other way around." Ferio smiled evilly. This time Fuu and Hikaru blushed. Silence. "Am I the only same one here?" Lantis asked *sweat dropping*. "Sorry. We just embarrass easily." Hikaru smiled looking at Lantis face. "Ah. . . . ok." CRASH!!!!!!! Fyula finally landed in front of the Cephirian castle, but roughly. "Yow!" Ferio yelled. He had slid off Fyula too quickly and fell on his butt. "Greetings. Magic Knights welcome back." said a voice. It was Clef but .. he was taller!! "Whoa. You grew like ten feet." Umi observed sliding off energetically and giving Clef a friendly hug. When she spotted Ascot picking fruit with his pets in the nearby garden, Umi ran to meet him. (And followed closely by Eagle.) The others were still talking to Clef. "Where are the others?" Hikaru asked. "They're in the dining hall waiting for the three of you." Clef replied staring off in space. Fuu and Hikaru's head turned. They saw Presea walking towards them with Mokona in her arms. (Mokona is a creature that is shaped like a marshmallow and is fond of the fairy, Primera.) "Hey! Presea!" Hikaru greeted. "Hello. The people are waiting for you." Presea smiled, unusually cheerful. Clef blushed. "Ok." Hikaru said bouncing with joy. They followed her into the castle, with Eagle and Ascot tagging along, listening to Umi tell about the earth sports she attended.
"Oh no! Not again!" Umi whimpered shaking herself back and forth (chibi style) as she fell through the sky of Cephiro. "It's alright, Umi." Fuu called. "Fyula should be coming any second now."
