DISCLAIMER I don't own the Magic Knight, but as of right now I am controlling their lives in my imagination. If you are an Umi and Ascot fan I warn you this chapter wont be pretty, but it does get better.

"You enjoyed yourself out there," said a golden haired girl as she started to pin fabric to the delicate body.

"Very much so; I am going to miss them when the day comes," said the body softly. The body shuffled in pain as the golden haired girl jabbed her sides with a pin. The golden haired girl was not good at the tailoring, but the body didn't mind, she knew the girl was doing her best.

"Do you think they would want to stay?" the girl asked with another jab to the bodies side.

"They have so much going on for them. There careers make them so happy,"

"But they care a lot about you; I am sure they would rather stay with you,"

"I could never asked them,"

Silence befell the room as the girl pinned into the body more and more. If the body was not bleeding by now, it defiantly was bruised. The body looked out the window, her greens watched the rain fall. There were so many broken hearts in Cephiro. Love was getting in the way. Her golden curls brushed her cheeks as she turned to the mirror. The golden haired girl was doing a wonderful job with the tailoring. The dress hugged her body neatly. The white fabric seemed to glow in the lamp light.

Fuu could not help but let a small squeal escape her lips. Her excitement was so hard for her to keep in.

Hikaru was walking down the hall. Her hair was wet from the rain and her cloths soaked. She would probably get a cold, but it didn't matter. Her body lost all feeling. She looked up as she heard sniffs coming from near by. It was Umi. The person she was talking to was hidden by the large white pillar. Hikaru saw the tears well up in Umi's eyes. She really wanted to know what was going on. Hikaru slid up close to the pillar and listened on the conversation.

"This is so hard," Umi sniffed.

"It wont getting ay better if you don't do something," said the deep voice.

"I don't wont to her hurt that person,"

"Sometimes you just have to let that person go,"

"But he I mean….it ….she, I cant leave them. Alone is something that will really hurt them," Umi stuttered.

Umi dashed off towards her room with her head in her hands. Her tears could be heard through the empty hall.

"I wish she wouldn't take things so hard," Clef said as he stepped into Hikaru's view. Hikaru said nothing in hopes that Clef wouldn't realize she was listening, but of course Clef knew. Of course he knew, he has been studying magic for hundreds of years you think he would know if someone was watching. Hikaru looked at Clef, but she dared not question the conversation. Hikaru shivered as she remembered her own sorrow. Hikaru buried her head into his shoulder, and cried. Clef held her and stroked her wet hair. Tears poured down from Hikaru's eyes.

"I can take it from here," said a deep dark voice. Clef held Hikaru then passed her to the tall man. She stilled cried into the man's shoulder. She hadn't realized Clef had walked out of the room and left her in the arms of another man.

"Don't cry for I am here to always protect you," said the deep voice. Hikaru suddenly stopped her tears. Her eyes widened as she looked at the large arm holding her. The white shirt was felt soft and comforting, but she still didn't know who it was. Hikaru took all her courage and met the man's eyes.

"Lafarga," Hikaru whispered. Lafarga smiled and looked down at her.

"I know you wish to see Lantis, but it is not possible," Lafarga said kindly.

"I don't understand why?" Hikaru asked with a hint of anger in her throat.

"He has left for his own reasons. He probably won't return. You shouldn't worry your pretty little head about it. Your true beauty is in your smile," Lafarga held her chin and sweetly kissed Hikaru's lips.

Umi laid on her bed. She was looking at her canopy. It looked like the ocean with the intertwining colors or blue. She looked around the room and realized the abundance of blue in her room. Granted she liked blue, but it was getting to be over used. She needed a change. She needed something different for herself. She walked over to her vanity. Her hair was the same, her eyes were the same, her make up was the same, but she wanted something different, but what?

Just then there was a knock on the door. Umi called for the knocker to come in. It was Fuu.  Umi was very excited to see her. Umi got up from her chair and went to hug her dear friend. Fuu winced in pain as her sides felt the pressure of Umi's hug. Umi started talking about her distress about her overdone blue obsession. Fuu thought for a moment then left the room. A few seconds had passed, and Fuu had returned with a large bundle of purple fabric, and Presea also holding a variety of colored fabrics.

First Fuu took a needle and thread and started to sew crystal beads in to the purple fabric. Presea and Umi started sewing colorful seat covers. Time passed at the large purple crystal studded fabric was finished. The three girls tried to reach over to pull off the blue canopy, but they were to short.

"Here Presea, get on my shoulders," Umi demanded. Presea climbed onto Umi's shoulder with great simplicity. The only problem they had was balanced. Umi started to swear around the room holding onto Presea. Presea screamed as she came close to hitting her head on the canopy, and nearly plummeting to the floor. Presea ended up grabbing onto the canopy for support. The two girls gained their balance, but as they did a soft crack was heard.

The canopy came crashing down as the girls all screamed. The girls started to laugh as they pulled the blue fabric off of themselves. Suddenly Umi felt a strong hand pull herself from the fabric. Umi blushed as she gazed into intense green eyes. Her body shivered with a warm tingly feeling. She didn't want to let go of the hand.
