First Times

A MKR fic made by Pikachu

Author's notes: AAAAAAAAAAAH! I read some crazy fics. I mean really crazy, pairing them all up with Ferio… Umi/Ferio, Hikaru/Ferio… isn't Fuu enough? Those are pretty weird authors, since it CLEARLY stated in the series that Ferio is going to be with FUU and Fuu only. And now, as you continue to squirm in your seats to know what happened to Hikaru and Lantis in the secret garden, here is the continuation.

***Start…***

"Is the twenty minute break over?" Hikaru asked, retouching her make-up. Umi coughed.

"Yeah, almost. Get ready on the stage, Hikaru." Umi said as Emeraude entered backstage.

"Get ready, Umi and Hikaru. Are the props ready for the garden?" Emeraude asked.

"Yes miss."

"Well, Umi, Hikaru, get ready on the set; Lantis, go to the other side of the stage with Ascot. Fuu and Prescea, get ready and Clef and Eagle, get ready too. Lafarga, Caldina, Ferio and Alcyone, head to the curtains. We'll start." Emeraude instructed. They went to their stations, Umi and Hikaru sitting on the right side, Lantis and Ascot on the left side; Fuu, Prescea, Clef and Eagle behind the backdrop and Lafarga, Caldina, Ferio and Alcyone behind the second backdrop.

"Please take your seats. We will soon return to Forbidden Love: Troubles of a Prince and a Princess." Emeraude said to the microphone. The audience hurried to their seats. As they sat down, the curtains were opened and revealed the four on the opposite sides of the stage.

P.S: Umi changed the style of Hikaru's hair into a braid, but arranged it so that there were no flyaway strands of hair and it was looped.

         ***Start of the play…***

(You know it. All un-italicized parts are Emeraude's parts.)

Princess Hikaru went to the secret garden everyday for chances of seeing the prince. To her luck, Lantis was always there. They talked to each other, and very soon later, they grew closer and closer to each other. They enjoyed each other's company and soon looked like they were having a relationship together. But no one knew that the prince and the princess were talking and meeting each other. And both the prince and the princess didn't tell what they felt. They just continued laughing at each other's jokes, enjoying each other's company. No one really knew…until…

"Umi, d-do you believe in l-love at first sight?" the princess asked her best friend and cousin.

"Well (Umi's mind: I can't believe I said the word!) I do believe. It can happen that someone you meet for the very first time can be the one you'd want to spend the rest of your life with. Mother met my father on a journey back here in Cephiro. When they met each other again, they decided that they were the ones for each other and decided to marry. Fast, aren't they?" Umi chuckled. "Look at them! They left me here with you to spend their time alone!" Umi laughed. "Why, are you in love, Hikaru?"

Hikaru blushed. "M-me? Why do you ask, U-umi? M-me, in love?" the princess stuttered. She blushed even more when Umi laughed.

"Don't worry, Hikaru. I won't tell anybody." Princess Umi said.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the garden, 2 princes were talking.

"Ascot…" Prince Lantis asked his friend. Prince Ascot was walking alongside the prince, who was his cousin.

"Yes, Lantis?" Ascot asked.

"If you meet someone for the very first time, and you felt something very unusual, will you call it love at first sight?" the prince asked. Ascot chuckled.

"It depends. What do you mean by feeling unusual? Do you feel strange, or scared?"

"It felt very strange, since my heart was beating very fast and as though I couldn't breathe." Lantis described, not noticing two people sitting ahead.

"You're in love, Lantis. Ferio said that to me some days ago he met a girl with glasses and brown-blonde hair." Ascot chuckled again. "Seems like love runs in the family."

As they halted into a stop, they noticed two girls looking up to them. One had her bright red hair braided and had crimson eyes. The other one had loose long marine blue hair and matching cobalt eyes. They were sitting under the same oak tree where the prince and the princess sat under.

"Hi-hikaru?" Lantis stuttered out, his eyes grew wide. He didn't expect the young princess to be there at this time of the afternoon.

"L-Lantis?" Hikaru also stuttered. Deep sapphire locked into bright as jade green looked into cobalt. As they gained their senses, Princess Umi was the first one to speak.

"I see. I think you know each other very well, so I think we'd better go. Have a good time, Hikaru/Lantis!" Ascot and Umi said in unison. As the two walked together to another path, the Prince and the Princess looked at each other. Lantis sat down silently beside the princess.

"Hello, Hikaru." Lantis greeted, smiling at the girl. The girl blushed again.

"Hi Lantis. Umm…Lantis…I want to ask you something…" Hikaru asked uncertainly.

"What is it, Hikaru?" Lantis asked.

"Umm…well…do you believe in…love at first sight?" the young princess blushed deep red as she asked the prince the question. Lantis looked puzzled.

"Are you in love already with someone?" Lantis asked. He looked a bit disappointed.

"Are you?" Hikaru looked suddenly at Lantis. Lantis smiled.

"Actually, I am…" Lantis smiled and looked up the sky.

"W-with who…?" Hikaru asked, tears wanting to drop out of her eyes.

"With…you." Lantis smiled and enclosed her hands into his, looking into her eyes and finally kissing her.

***Backstage…***

"Whoa Lantis!!!!!" Eagle shouted, not minding if the audience heard.

"EAGLE! Shut the hell up!" Ferio said, covering Eagle's mouth.

"Look at them… they are so sweet!" Prescea cried from under the backdrop.

"Prescea!Shh!" Clef warned. Prescea's eyes turned into hearts as she blushed.

"Hikaru-chan…sugoi!" Fuu cried as she played the piano. The two were still in the stage.

***Back in the stage…***

((Hikaru's eyes widened. It didn't feel like a fake kiss…since it was just a play. But then she felt something hidden it that kiss. As Lantis held onto her, she just closed her eyes.))

Hikaru's eyes widened. She never expected the prince to do that… for the prince to love her in a month's period of time.

Author's notes: He he he … is this a cliffie to you? I think not. So anyway, I think this is a bit tad too long for a play that lasts two hours, and only half of it of it is accomplished and done.
