Author's Note: Here we go, Chapter 3. No, the new and improved Chapter 3!
I've got lots more where that came from! Look at that! I've got reviews!
Oh yah! *does happy dance around the room* And guess what! I still don't
know who to pair up with who. So far, I have:
Umi with Ascot (smile-I stick to the manga, not the anime. After all, who
wants Umi ending up with little old Clef anyway!)
Fuu with Ferio (duh)
Hikaru with ??? (Eagle or Lantis. Your pick!)
Presea with ??? (I was thinking Clef, but um, yah. Maybe I'll still do
that. I dunno.)
Caldina with Lafarga (She's going to finally get him!)
Lady Aska and Sauno (Hey, it's cute ok? Not like I'm going to go anywhere
with this.)
Geo with the two Chizetan Princesses Tarta and Tatra (Poor Zazu. Ah well,
he can have fun too.)
Mokona is himself. He doesn't get girlfriends.
If you want it changed, give me reviews and votes. I'm going to try to go
with what I get. Thanks for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Magic Knights, or its characters. Just Siro and Rune and her mecha. That's about it, so it's my fault if anybody dies.
Lantis: "So, you are going to play match-maker?"
HOS: "Yes, I am. After all, I am the author."
Lantis: "I see. So, who am I going to be paired up with?"
HOS: *blank look* "You honestly think I'm going to give that away in the disclaimer-I-ramble-on-about-nothing section?"
Lantis: "Well, I was kind of hoping I would know so that I can be ready for the sudden shock of who my love is and everything."
HOS: *evil grin* "Well, I'm always available!"
Lantis: *starts to sweat* "Um. Maybe I should step outside for a minute." *he goes outside*
Ferio: *after napping, he comes back all cheerful* "Fuu!"
Fuu: *rolls her eyes* "Ferio."
Ferio: "That was a wonderful nap!"
Fuu: "Oh?" Ferio: "Yes, you should have been there with me!"
Fuu: "Um, no comment."
Ferio: "What? Sleeping is fun!"
Fuu: "Still no comment."
Umi: "Wow. You're doing a good job there, Ferio."
Ferio: "Mind your own business. You haven't gotten anywhere with your boyfriend."
Umi: "I don't have a boyfriend."
Ferio: "Ooh. Look who's the loser now!"
Fuu: "Ferio, that wasn't very nice!"
Ferio: *looks down* "Sorry."
Fuu: "Perhaps you should go back to bed!"
Ferio: *smiles evilly* "Do you want to come with me?"
Fuu: "Huh?"
Ferio: "You know, sleep with me?"
Fuu: "FERIO!" *slaps him REALLY hard* "NO WAY! I'm only 16."
Ferio: "Not that way. Ugh. Girls." *he walks out*
Umi: "Yep. You're making progress."
Hikaru: "I don't know why he keeps bringing up the whole thing of sleeping."
Fuu: *blushing bright red* "Will you just drop it already?"
Clef: "We're moving on now."
Presea: "Really?"
Mokona: "Puu."
Presea: "Guess so!"
Lantis: *coming back in* "Ah, nothing like a nice breath of fresh air."
HOS: "So, are you ready to do that disclaimer now?"
Lantis: "Let me read it again."
HOS: "You don't need to. All you say is something about me not owning Rayearth and that it's my fault if anyone dies."
Lantis: "D-d-d-DIES?"
HOS: "Yes, dies. Now, the disclaimer."
Lantis: "R-r-r-right. Ok, HOS doesn't own Rayearth. She only owns Siro, her mecha, and her lovely country of Rune. So, blame HOS if she kills anybody."
HOS: *pointing at the paper Lantis holds* "It's FLAME, not BLAME."
Lantis: "Oh, right. Flame. With an F, not a B."
HOS: "Got that."
Lantis: "Ok, so, let's get this thing going then, shall we?"
HOS: "You got it!"

Chapter 3: Contemplation and a Secret Revealed
"We'll probably be sent," Fuu mused to no one in particular. "I don't want to go again." She turned around and gazed at the columns that held up the room.
Ferio placed a hand on her shoulder. "You may not need to."
"Ferio," she turned towards him. A tear streamed down her cheek. "I just can't do it again. I don't think I'm strong enough."
Gently, Ferio held her close to him. "Of course you are."
"No," Fuu sobbed. 'I'm not. I can't do this. It's so hard. Ferio.'
Hikaru thought about the upcoming invasion. "It's only fair that we're sent. I mean, we're the Magic Knights. So, we have to protect Cephiro and the ones we love."
Fuu, still resting in Ferio's embrace, turned her head slowly towards Hikaru. "But, Hikaru, we do this so much. Why does it have to be us? I don't want to fight anymore. I'm sick of it." 'And,' she said, thinking to herself. 'There's always the thought of 'what if I don't come back?' or 'what if someone I love dies?' and I can't live with all of that pressure.'
Caldina mused to herself. "And I like thought I had it complicated." She glanced at Lafarga who returned her gaze, smiling. "Maybe not," she beamed.
"Come, Sauno, we must retire. I need to speak to the elder about leaving." Lady Aska nimbly walked out of the room with poor Sauno trailing behind her. 'I have to ask him about the red sky. He can help me. And, I have to make sure no one finds out about it.'
"Cute couple," Presea said, smiling.
Just then, Zazu teetered over and collapsed. "It's jusht grand," He slurred as he passed out, a bottle of wine clutched in his hand. He had been drinking it the whole morning.
"Darn!" Geo yelled. "I knew I shouldn't have gotten him started with this whole wine business."
"Aw, poor clueless thing," Caldina commented.
'I should probably see if he's ok.' Geo thought to himself. He started to run towards Zazu's collapsed body on the floor, but "accidentally" bumped into Tarta.
Tarta started blushing insanely.
"Um," Geo began.
Tarta just stared at him, not saying anything.
"Is he ok?" Tatra asked, smiling.
'Heh, leave it to my delinquent sister to say something,' Tarta thought, running over her thoughts in her head.
"He'll be fine once we get him sobered up. Dumb kid. Too much alcohol's not good for you," Geo said, slinging Zazu over his shoulder. 'Even though, it's my fault he got started and all.'
Tatra laughed. "So, do you want us to help?"
Tarta nudged her. 'I can't believe she said that!'
"I guess. I wouldn't mind some company," Geo shrugged as he walked out. 'Ooh, lovely ladies. Wonder what fun we can have?' He smiled to himself.
Tatra giggled and pulled Tarta along with her. 'Why's he smiling?'
"Aw gee, that's a cute trio!" Caldina remarked.
"Well, this is, um, interesting." Umi made her way over to Ascot.
Mokona leapt from Umi's grasp and bounced into Hikaru's open-arm invitation. He sang out a few "puu puu's" and then cuddled into her arms.
Ascot started blushing as Umi came closer to him. He had always been so shy around her.
"Look, Ascot," Umi began. 'Ok, breathe.'
"Oh my goodness!" Presea whispered as she leaned over next to Hikaru. "Aren't they just perfect for each other?"
Fuu smiled at Presea as she stood in front of Ferio who had his arms about her. "Yes, Presea, they are."
Ferio just laughed.
Hikaru looked off. "Yah, I guess they are." She glanced at Eagle as he leaned against a column, then Lantis, who stood by a ledge, leaning out into Cephiro's fresh atmosphere. 'Such sad eyes,' Hikaru thought to herself. 'I wonder what I could do to make them happier.'
"Oh, look!" Presea jumped.
Hikaru brought her attention back to her friend and Ascot. She gasped as Umi reached up and kissed Ascot.
Fuu jumped out of Ferio's arms. "She didn't just do what I think she did?"
"Yah, it looks like she did," Ferio chuckled.
"Ha, score!" Presea jumped up and down.
"Umi?" Hikaru said quietly. Mokona "puued" quietly.
Even Eagle was shaken out of thought. 'They,' he thought. 'No way!'
Lantis turned from the ledge to see what had happened. He just smiled.
"Wow!" Caldina hummed to herself. 'I wish Lafarga would kiss me like that.'
Ascot was shaken as well when Umi let him go finally.
"There," Umi said. "Sorry, I had to do that sooner or later, Ascot. I didn't mean to embarrass you or anything like that."
"No, it's perfectly fine." Ascot replied. He smiled back at her without blushing this time. 'Yes,' he thought. 'Now I know she likes me for sure!'
Lafarga continued to watch on in silence. He didn't notice that Caldina had slipped her arm through his.
"Puu puu," Mokona sang in Hikaru's arms.
"You've got that right!" Presea laughed.

There you go! Just a little bit of romance to wet your whistle. Don't worry though. I'm building up the plot and relationships so you get every little thing and detail. Please review me and let me know what you think! Another short chapter too! I know, I'm bad. But, I promise, the rest will be longer. It gets a lot longer later on, so better to do the short ones now and get to the longer ones later.
Lantis: "Why did you have Umi kiss Ascot?"
HOS: "You know, someone else said the same thing in a review."
Lantis: "No, you think?"
HOS: "Shut up. I did it that way because of my reasoning with the whole Umi and Ascot relationship."
Lantis: "Reasoning? You? Hah."
HOS: "I said to shut up. Ok, this is why I did that. Umi and Ascot are direct opposites. Whereas Umi is outgoing and bubbly, Ascot is introverted and the quiet, shy, blushing type. So, my grand idea was to have Umi kiss him, in public! If she didn't, I don't think Ascot would have ever gotten over his "fear" of talking or even looking at Umi. I mean, come on, the kid's constantly freaking out whenever she's near him. But, of course, I know others are going to interpret this differently. I'm sorry. My fan fic. You can do what you want in yours."
Lantis: "Ah, I see. So, you want to make Ascot more extroverted?"
HOS: "Not really. Just get him over his fear of Umi."
Ascot: "Good job, HOS. Thanks so much!"
HOS: "No problem."
Umi: "I did like that part though, where I got to kiss him!"
Ascot: *blushes* "Aw."
Umi: "Hey, no blushing on the set!"
Ascot: "Oh, that's right. I'm not supposed to be afraid of you anymore."
Umi: "Gee, I didn't know I was terrifying."
Ascot: "No, you're just beautiful."
Umi: *big smile* "Really?" *hugs Ascot* "You're so sweet!"
Ferio: *comes back from his second nap* "I am loved with an everlasting love. Hello, Fuu, my darling wife-to-be someday!"
Fuu: "Hello to you too. Enjoy your nap?"
Ferio: "Yes, it was fabulous. You know, you should've been there with me."
Fuu: "Ah, yes. You said that last time."
Ferio: *evil grin* "Let us finish where we left off."
Fuu: "You know, that's ok. I think I'll pass."
Ferio: *sweeping Fuu off her feet up into his arms* "But, darling, I love you!"
Fuu: "Um, we're not supposed to know that until later."
Ferio: *shrugs* "Oh well." *puts Fuu down* "Sorry, dearest."
Fuu: "It's ok. Say, should I get contacts?" Ferio: "Why? You look beautiful as you are!"
Fuu: "I dunno. Glasses are kind of a pain."
Ferio: "I don't care one way or the other. You're still beautiful."
Fuu: "Thanks!"
Lafarga: "That was nice."
Caldina: "Yes, it was, wasn't it?"
Lafarga: 'I love Caldina. She's so pretty.'
Caldina: 'I love Lafarga. He's so manly.'
HOS: "Woah. Definitely need to re-program the thought process here."
Lantis: "Sorry, did I say something wrong?"
Hikaru: "Yah, you talked!"
Eagle: "Ha ha ha."
Lantis: *pouts* "That's not nice."
Eagle: *points at Lantis's pouting face* "Neither is that!"
Hikaru: "Oh, knock it off you two! Geesh."
Eagle: "Hey, Hikaru, want to go out with me?"
Lantis: "No, she wants to go out with me?"
Hikaru: "Ok, I'll go out with both of you!"
Umi: *to Presea* "Yep, she is naïve. I pity her."
Presea: "I do too!"
Ascot: "No comment."
Umi: "Who was asking you for advice anyway?" *she pulls off his hat*
Ascot: "Give that back!"
Umi: "Gotta kiss me first!"
Ascot: "Oh, all right." *bends down and kisses Umi in front of everyone*
Umi: "Good job! I think we'll get over this whole shy business really quickly!"
Ascot: "My hat?"
Umi: "Nope." *tosses it to Ferio* "RUN!!!"
Ferio: *runs away with Ascot's hat with Fuu following him*
Ascot: "Perfect." *runs after them*
Umi: "Ha ha."
Lantis: "This is nonsense. Oh, right. So, Hikaru, when are you free?"
Eagle: "Yah, when are you free?"
Hikaru: *sighs* "Never."
Lantis & Eagle: "What?"
Hikaru: "I'm going to bed."
Lantis: "Oh?"
Hikaru: "Yes, goodnight everyone!"
Clef: "It was nice knowing you!"
Hikaru: "What do you mean?"
Clef: "Well, HOS said she might kill some people."
Presea: "Hush! They're not supposed to know that."
Clef: "She said it in the disclaimer to FLAME her if anybody dies. You know the drill."
Presea: "Whatever. All the same, it's supposed to be surprising if anybody dies. I hope no one does though." *makes a sad face*
Caldina: "Oh well! That's all for now everybody! Remember to review!"
Lafarga: 'Yah, I do love her.'
Disclaimer: I don't own Magic Knights, or its characters. Just Siro and Rune and her mecha. That's about it, so it's my fault if anybody dies.
Lantis: "So, you are going to play match-maker?"
