"Hey, why did we get picked for Pillar duty?" Ascot asked Ferio as they walked down a normal, everyday street in the normal USA.
"Because, everyone else is 'mourning' Hikaru…all they want is that cool sword."
"Oh, I see." They walked along in silence for a few minutes.
"Ferio, where are we going to find a Pillar?"
"I dunno. The mall?"
"Well, we might as well try…!" Ascot said, "But how are we going to get there?"
"LET'S TAKE FYULA!!!"
"OKAY!" Ascot replied, "@BEAST SUMMON!!@" Fyula appeared, and blinked a few times.
"C'mon Fyula, LET'S GO TO THE MALL!!" A few minutes later, Ferio and Ascot were riding Fyula around the parking lot.
"We should have remembered the mall would be packed on a Saturday…"Ferio muttered.
"Man, we'll never find a parking space…" Ascot complained. (For all intensive purposes, he's a midget again. Being tall can be painful.) "Hey, there's a space!" he cried, and Fyula hurried to get there. The poor fish was tired. Ferio and Ascot clambered off the fish, and Ascot grabbed the keys and hit the lock button.
After the two Cephiro-ans entered the mall, they were in awe.
"Clothes!"
"Fast food!"
"Dude!" Ferio and Ascot then scrambled around wildly, and bought something from every restaurant in the food court.
Meanwhile, in the parking lot, our noble method of transportation was surrounded by a small army of stray cats and was scared out of his fishy wits.
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!" he cried, which means, when translated, "HURRY UP YOU STUPID MIDGETAND GREEN HAIR GUY!" (Poor Fyula needs a hug…^.~)
As Ferio and Ascot were chowing down, Ascot realized something. "Hey, Ferio, aren't we here to find a Pillar?" Ferio looked up from his food.
"Well…uh…no one would want us to starve…"
"Oh, okay."
After they were done eating, Ferio and Ascot walked over to the mall directory.
Ascot pointed at the'You are here' sticker. "Dude, how do they know?"
"What's B. Dalton?" Ferio asked.
"Sounds like a shoe store…"
"I wouldn't mind some new shoes, how bout you?"
"I like my Summoner Boots!"
"Oh, come on… Those are SO last season."
"I liked last season!"
"Come on…." Ferio said, and dragged him away.
When they arrived at B. Dalton, Ferio and Ascot stood outside for a few minutes.
"Earth people have weird looking shoe boxes…" Ferio stated.
"I'll say…"
"Come on, let's go inside." Inside, Ferio and Ascot were looking around.
"Weird brand names… 'The Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Word…'"
"Yeah. And the kind of shoe on the sign is weird. 'Humor,' 'History…'" Ferio said. "Can you imagine someone saying, 'Put your good histories on for church, Jimmy?'"
"Truly weird." Ascot agreed. Meanwhile, across the aisle, in the graphic novel section, three girls caught the attention of our Pillar-seeking protagonists.
"Hey…is that Umi on that shoe box that girl is looking at?"
"Is that Fuu on the box that girl has?"
"Look! That one has Sakura on thefront!"
"Fuu!"
"Umi!"
"Dude!"
The 3 girls looked up.
"Ferio!"
"Ascot!"
"Dude!" The 5 of them looked at each other.
"DUDE!" Ferio turned to Ascot. "Hey! Whydon't we ask them to be the Pillar?"
"SURE!" Ascot replied.
"Hey, do you three want to be the Pillar of Cephiro?" Ferio asked.
"SURE!" the 3 girls replied.
"Cool! Well, you know us, so who are you?"
"I'm Katie!"
"I'm Angela!"
"I'm Audrey!"
"COOL!"
"C'mon, we parked over by the movie theater." As the party reached Fyula, the 3girls ran over to him.
"GIANT FLYING FISH!!!" All the stray cats ran away, and Fyula squeaked gratefully, while Ascot pressed the unlock button on the key thingie.
"Alright, everyone on!" Ferio said,giving Ascot a boost and stepping aside to let the girls get on.
"Are we ready?" Ascot asked a few minutes later.
"YEAH!"
"Okay! Fyula, let's go home!" Ferio told Fyula, and they disappeared in a flash of light. With another flash of light, the group arrived in Cephiro.
"VOLCANO!"
"FLYING MOUNTAIN!"
"OCEAN!"
"DUDE!" Ferio and Ascot looked at each other. "Are you getting the feeling this is going to be a recurring thing too?"
"Yeah…"
"Hey, it'll be interesting!"
"LITTLE WHITE BIRDS!"
"CASTLE!"
"FLYING HORSE!"
"DUDE!"
"Because, everyone else is 'mourning' Hikaru…all they want is that cool sword."
"Oh, I see." They walked along in silence for a few minutes.
"Ferio, where are we going to find a Pillar?"
