"I'm sorry ma'am," the woman started, "you need 4 people to get on the train."

Lyn looked at Maria solemnly. They needed 2 more passengers, but the question was who?

"Ma'am, please! My friend is hurt – and needs to be treated!" Maria shouted. This was the maddest Lyn ever saw her, she was serious about this condition.

"Rules are rules. You should abide by them." The woman replied, closing the train doors.

The two girls stepped back as the train pulled out of the station, and went towards the Crystal Lagoon.

"We could swim..." Maria suggested. Lyn just glared at her. This wasn't a time for jokes.

"We have 2 hours to find 2 more passengers." Lyn mumbled. The girls looked around.

"THERE! Two air spirits! What are they doing here?" Maria announced. They both ran over to them. Hoping they needed a ride.

..................

"Excuse me, Mister?" Lyn asked, tapping the air spirit in the shoulder.

"Miss, actually." It replied.

"Oh! Excuse the misunderstanding," Maria said, and bowed, "but we were wondering – Do you need a ride on the Spirit Train? We have two extra tickets – and we need 2 extra people"

The air spirits turned around, facing the girls. They could see the joy in their faces.

"Actually, yes. My brother and I are trying to get to Hyuudin, the capital city of the Rydouden region, and we needed two train tickets." The woman replied, with a cheerful tone to her voice, "What are your names – anyways. I am Tan, my brother is Kins. Yu-Babba stole our names."

"I'm Maria, and this is Lyn. How did she steal your names? Aren't you native to the Spirit World?" Maria asked, politely.

"Quite frankly, we can't remember." Tan said, solemnly. Lyn could tell Tan was sad, after all, Chihiro had lost her name as well.

**Note: Air Spirits look like humans, just they have crystal blue/silver hair, and wear white robes. They are distinguished that way (Heh. I made this up, I just thought it would help you picture them more human then expected.**
