Here's chapter three! I still don't own Magic Knight Rayearth. I didn't in the first or second chapter, and I still haven't gotten the rights yet…(joke for the stupid people who actually believed me)

This chapter has one of the scenes that I first pictured the story with. There are three scenes that got me writing this story and one of them is in here. I am pretty sure you can figure out which one it is. (*Hint-It seems like an old-fashioned romance scene)

One more thing, if anyone has noticed, I don't go too deep into Hikaru's or Umi's relationships. This is not just because I write Fuu and Ferio fics. It is because it is not safe. I am too scared to get flamed by people who are huge Umi&Clef, Umi&Ascot, Hikaru&Lantis, or Hikaru&Eagle fans. The only safe relationship is Fuu&Ferio (NOT THE REASON I WRITE FUU&FERIO FICS). But I do put bits and pieces in of the relationships I support. But no more than the anime would since this is a strict anime fic. Please do not flame me because of the relationships I like!!

Oh, and if anybody wants to see more of a character that I may be ignoring, please tell me! Either email me or put it in the review. I will try to show more of that character if the story permits. I normally tend to throw away Lafarga or Lantis' dialogue to Umi and Caldina so I am trying to give them more. Well, that's all, I think, so now you can do what you originally intended to do when you came here. Read this chapter!

Ferio, in the couple of minutes after he had seen Fuu, had begun to return to his old self, with only one exception. He had not let go of Fuu for a second! No matter what they were doing, some part of his body was in contact with hers. May it be a hand on her shoulder or an arm linked with her, he made sure they were touching. But Fuu didn't mind so much. As long as it was Ferio, it was ok.

Umi and Hikaru wanted to see Clef and Presea too, so Lafarga led them to the main room where Clef and Presea were conversing. When they entered, Clef was facing them and Presea had her back to them. Clef motioned to them to tell Presea to stop saying whatever it is that she was saying. Presea turned and realized the girls had entered and stopped speaking.

"Magic Knights?" Presea asked. "You're back! Oh it's wonderful to see you three again."

"Welcome to Cephiro, again." Clef smiled. "Oh Fuu, I see you've brightened up Ferio already. He's not going to leave you alone again. But it's great to see him happy."

Ferio had his arms around Fuu, but he was facing her back. He suddenly felt embarrassed, but did not let go of Fuu. "Sorry, I didn't realize that I had been making you all so uncomfortable."

"It wasn't just that, that made us upset. It was the fact that you were upset and we couldn't do anything about it." Clef told him.

"So, how has everything been with you guys?" Umi asked good-naturedly.

"We've been pretty good." Presea replied. It's even better than when we had Princess Emeraude as the pillar."

"Yes, thank you again." Clef added. "And now that you three have visited, it will be even better."

"Um, Clef?" Umi asked slowly.

"Yes Umi?" Clef replied confused.

"Well, uh," Umi looked as if she was trying to figure out how to ask something. "I, uh, we wanted to know if we could see some of Cephiro. N-not like the castle and everything, the actual Cephiro! We want to see the country we saved."

"Oh," Clef looked surprised. "All right, if you want to, of course you can."

"Really!?" Hikaru exclaimed. "Thanks Clef!"

"I'm sure the others would be happy to show you around."

"What do you mean Clef?" asked Umi. "Aren't you showing us around?"

"I have a meeting with the Princesses of Chizeta." Clef informed them. "Presea is coming with me. I'm sure the others will do just as good a job as I would."

"Princess Tarta and Tatra are coming here! Why?" Caldina asked shocked.

"To discuss the problems of the over-population in their country and the proposal of expansion in their country to Cephiro." Clef explained. "Actually, Caldina you would be most helpful. You after all, are a citizen of Chizeta who moved to Cephiro, correct? That's to be discussed. Would you care to join us?"

"I guess so..." Caldina answered, taking glances at Lafarga and the Magic Knights.

"Lafarga, why don't you come too? Lantis, Ascot, Ferio, you all show the girls around Cephiro. Enjoy yourselves!" Presea insisted. "Princess Tarta and Tatra should be arriving any moment now, Clef."

"Yes, Lafarga, Presea, Caldina, let's go. Magic Knights, I'm sorry I couldn't speak with you longer. Have fun." He replied and led his group out of the room to meet the Princesses of Chizeta."

The other six were left in the room, deciding what to do, and of course, what Clef and the Princesses of Chizeta were going to decide, not to mention what the others wanted to do. It was silent for a moment. Lantis coughed into his hand. Then he turned to Hikaru.

"Would you like to see Mira's village? She has missed you Hikaru. She kept asking every day after you left if you had come back to visit. Everyday until her village was rebuilt and she had to leave the castle." Lantis told Hikaru.

"Mira's village?" Hikaru asked excited. "Oh wow! I didn't think she would miss me! I'd love to see Mira again!" Hikaru turned to Umi and Fuu. "Let's go see Mira guys!"

"Actually, Mira was really only asking for you." Ferio pointed out. He turned to Ascot. "How about you show Umi your house Ascot? The place you asked Clef about for all your friends and you to live in?"

"You got your own house Ascot?" Umi inquired. "I guess you have grown up. But why? Didn't you say your friends were allowed in the castle?"

Ascot nodded. "But I don't want to be a burden. Everyone was moving out of the castle and I felt that I should go out too, since I don't need to be here. It's not too far away, so I can always visit if I want to."

"And all your friends live there?" Umi asked.

"Yeah, me and my friends." Ascot confirmed.

"That sounds cool! I don't have a house of my own yet. So I guess that means that you are now older then me Ascot!" Umi laughed.

"D-do you w-want to g-go Umi?" Ascot asked, suddenly embarrassed because he just realized whom he was talking to.

"Well, do you mind Hikaru?" Umi asked the redhead.

"No, if you want to go to Ascot's you can Umi. Just as long as Ascot promises to bring me there someday too!" Hikaru smiled to her. "Deal?"

"Deal." Ascot agreed.

"What about you Fuu?" Hikaru asked.

Before Fuu could answer, Ferio jumped in. "I've got somewhere I would like to show her, my favorite spot in Cephiro. Unless you'd rather go with one of them Fuu?"

"No, Ferio. I'll go with you. Is that ok Hikaru?" Fuu replied.

"Sure Fuu." Hikaru answered. "We'll meet back here later, all right?"

"Gotcha!" Umi assured and gave Hikaru the peace sign.

"All right." Fuu smiled. Ferio wrapped his arms tighter around Fuu's waist and smiled and kissed her cheek.

"See you!" Hikaru yelled as she followed Lantis out the door. Primera flew in out of no where and began to argue with Lantis about something but Lantis just kept on walking.

"~BEAST I SUMMON THEE!" Ascot summoned one of his friends outside. It was the one that the girls had seen many times before. The giant one with the bird's head. The one the girls had fought but not killed when Ascot was with Zagato.

"Are we going to ride him to your house Ascot?" Umi inquired as she followed him out the door.

"Y-yeah." Ascot stuttered and helped Umi into the creature's hand. Then he climbed in himself. The creature took off. Umi waved to Fuu as they flew off to Ascot's. When both Umi and Hikaru were out of sight, Fuu her head to Ferio.

"Where is the spot you were talking about." Fuu asked.

"Actually, it's in the castle. Well, not exactly in the castle, but within the boundaries of the castle... you'll see." Ferio tried to explain.

"Alright."

Ferio led Fuu back into the castle, holding her by the hand. Fuu was pretty sure they must have looked foolish, but she didn't mind. Since it was Ferio, it was ok.

Ferio led her through the corridors. As he did, he told her "I don't think you saw this part of the castle when you came here the second time. I'm not sure it existed yet. But I came here a lot when you were gone. It's a nice spot where you can see a lot of Cephiro."

"Oh." Fuu replied. She crammed her mind for something else to talk about so the trip wouldn't be in total silence. "Is Cephiro back to the way it was before?"

"As Presea said, it might even be better than when Princess Emeraude was around. The villages are back to the way they were before, and the Forest of Silence is pretty much gone, save some parts so there is nowhere where you can't use magic. The sky is as beautiful as ever." Ferio stopped and turned to Fuu. "And now you're here. It's perfect."

Fuu heart skipped a couple of beats. No one had ever told her she made things perfect before. The inevitable blush tinted her cheeks. Ferio smiled at her and then continued to lead her to their destination.

Ferio stopped at another tall door. True, many of the doors in the castle were big, but this fell into one of the larger categories. Ferio opened it, and Fuu saw that inside the door, was actually in fact, outside. There was no ceiling and it was missing a wall. But it was not the entrance or the exit that she and Umi and Hikaru were familiar with. There were flowers and trees and vines decorating the recess of the walls. And Fuu could see that once you pass the walls, there was a downward hill. And Ferio was right, it was a very good view of Cephiro.

"You like it?" Ferio interrupted her thoughts.

"Yes." Fuu told him. "It's quite lovely."

"People don't come here too often." Ferio explained. "So this place is usually pretty quiet. It's a good place to think and relax." Ferio sat down right before the hill and then pulled Fuu onto his lap. He kissed her neck. "I'm glad your back."

"Me too." Fuu agreed. She stared out to the landscape of the land she had saved twice. It was more beautiful than she'd ever remembered, and a refreshing sight after seeing the land collapse. The horizon was further away, so the land must be larger than it had been. But either way, it was better than the land falling apart. She noted that there was more than one floating mountain. There were plenty of the birds flying around that Hikaru had told Fuu about after Hikaru had seen Lantis that time. 'And this has all been created by the hearts of everyone, not just one girl.' Fuu thought. 'This place is truly beautiful.' Fuu turned her head and kissed Ferio on the cheek.

Ferio looked down at Fuu, surprised. Then he gave her a mischievous grin. They shared a long kiss, then Fuu rested her head on his chest and continued to watch the landscape of the rescued land of will.

How is it so far? I wasn't sure how to end this chapter. I couldn't really bring in the plot yet, or else this chapter would have been too long!

Just so you know, I DO know that in the anime Presea is dead (sorry for the spoiler!) and that it is in fact her twin sister Sierra that is posing as her (sorry again!) and as much as I LOVE Presea, I did not bring her back from the dead here. The Magic Knights never find out that Presea is Sierra so I am using the name Presea. The only person who does find out is Alcione (of whom I HATE) and I better shut up before I give the whole MKR2 anime storyline away!!!!!!!!!!!
