"Guru Clef, THE Guru Clef???" Ferio cried, jumping to his feet as Clef,
Umi, Hikaru and Eagle entered.
Clef nodded, "THE Guru Clef, yes."
"Wow.it's such an honor!" he said, clasping Clef's hand with his own sweaty
one and shaking it.
"Err...yeah.same to you."
"Ferio, you may release Clef, you know?" Fuu stated with a chortle.
"I know." He said, retracting his hand.
Clef smiled, "You are.?"
"Ferio." he said, then added, "Fuu's lover." He laughed.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, it is." Fuu said, cutting in.
"So this is the real world?" Eagle said cutting in and glancing around.
"Yup!" Hikaru answered cheerfully.
"Puu!" Mokona cried.
Clef spun around, "Mokona???"
They nodded, "Yup, we brought im' here, is that okay?" Umi said, tracing
the last words around.
"Well, of course."
Umi, glad to get the idea out of Clef's head that he was there to be
sending them back, smiled. "Clef, do me a favor?"
"Yes?"
"Will yourself older."
"Well.it's not Cephiro, but okay!"
He squeezed his eyes shut, the lights blinked, windows shook, lightning
struck, and the floors were shaking, but when it was all over, and the
light flickered to life, Clef was older.
"Oh Clef!" Umi cried and rushed into his arms.
"Umi!" he said, his tone haughty and matured.
"Even his voice changed." Hikaru contemplated.
"Yeah.weird." Fuu said, her words pondered and thought out.
Ferio shrugged off the change, "So what can you do in the real world?"
Eagle nodded in agreement.
"Well, you can shop, and eat, and go to theme parks, and watch movies, and
dance, and do a whole lot of stuff!"
"Really? You guys.dance?" Eagle asked eagerly.
"Well.yeah."
"Let's enjoy this world, the movies? We'll go there, then shop, and eat,
and then go dancing, and how about a.what did you call it, a theme park?
Yes, a theme park tomorrow?" Ferio asked, thinking out each word.
"That's a good idea!" Fuu cut in before anyone could say otherwise.
Eagle nodded, "I want to dance!"
"With me?" Hikaru asked hopefully.
"With you," he said, pulling her into a kiss.
"Let us go then!"
And off they set, to know, and to understand the real world.
