Ch. 5 Graduation
A/n: Heh…took me long enough. So yeah… I wont be on AIM for about three days since I'll be in California!! Woohoo! So I'm cutting it short.
Reviewers: Arigato!!! Thank you so much for reviewing! All 15 of you!!! Though I need to threaten one of them MELANIE!!! I'LL KILL YOU! Yeah…I know Melanie from school, its okay for me to threaten her.
Alright, so here's the last chapter.
Fuu stepped up to the podium after the invocation was given. Her emerald eyes looked over the audience before she began.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change,
"Parents, Friends, Family, Administrators, Staff, Faculty and more importantly, graduates, I would like to welcome you all o our high school graduation. Over the past course of our education, we have made friends in the strangest places," Fuu looked over at her friends from Cephiro before she continued, "We have also lost friends. The past three years we've gained much knowledge to use in the real world. No longer we will be sheltered in school, but moving into the adult world, out of the house and into real life. When we started out as first years, we've been showed along the way, homework every night, extra classes to get through, tutoring etc.."
Keep on thinking things will always be the same.
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back,
no more hanging out Cuz were on a different track
and if you, got something that ya need to say,
"Now we look back upon our years here, and think back about how much more mature we've became, and realize some things we did over the years have been foolish and sometimes we think to ourselves, 'Why did we do that stupid thing?', Why? I'll tell you, we were foolish, zany you can say, but we've learned more, sometimes repeating the same mistakes. I'm pretty sure, the all my fellow graduates will agree with me when I say: We'll miss this school, and hope to see our friends in the years to come. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the N High School class of 2004!" Fuu stepped back from the podium and walked back to her seat, her mint dress brushed against her legs as she walked. One of the teachers stepped up to the podium and took over.
you better say it right now Cuz you don't have another
day
Cuz we're moving on and we cant slow down
these memories are playing like a film without sound
and I keep thinking of that night in June,
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon.
And there was me and you and we got real blue,
"Thank you Miss Houoji. Now I will present the graduates with their diplomas." The first row of students stood up as the teacher began. "Aso Miri, Asoti Niro…" The students walked up to the teacher as he said their names. Soon, the second row stood up and walked as he continued on the names. "Corala Nico, Denora Mei, Dirichi Kyile…"
stay at home talking on the telephone, with me, we'd
get so excited and we'd get so scared,
laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair...
And this is how it feels...
The third row stood up and made their way down the aisle. "Harajima Forishi, Honiji Miki, Houoji Fuu…" Fuu walked up and took her diploma. Fuu's eyes were beginning to water as she sat back down and watched the others take their diploma and sit down. Around her many of the girls were silently crying.
As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
From whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever...
"Ryukatse Jinne, Ryuuzaki Umi, Saabo Asrila…" Umi took her diploma and sat down, her baby blue dress flowed as she walked. She passed Fuu and gave her a reassuring smile.
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money,
when we look back now will that joke still be funny?,
will we still remember everything we learned in school,
still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye,
Keep on thinkin its a time to fly,
And this is how it feels...
"Shidou Hikaru, Shinobu Matricka, Suzuki Chika, Syuro Hori…" Hikaru stepped up and took her diploma, as she walked back to her seat, Umi and Fuu smiled at the petite red-head and wiped their eyes. Hikaru sat down fixing her maroon dress, only a few people left before the benediction.
As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
From whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Class of 2004!" The teacher said when her finished giving off the names. Now may I please have Miss Ryuuzaki come up and give the benediction." He stepped away from the podium and back to his seat. Umi walked up to the podium gracefully and took her position.
la, la, la, la... yeah, yeah ... la, la, la, la
We will still be,
Friends Forever

BRIDGE
------
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
"Ladies and gentlemen, will you please bow your head for this last prayer." Everyone in the audience did as she did as did the graduates and staff. "Dear Lord, we have been blessed to go on with this high school graduation. May we all live to be happy and healthy, with jobs we like…"
Can we make it somehow? (somehow)
I guess I thought that this would never end,
AND SUDDENLY IT'S LIKE WE'RE WOMEN AND MEN
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Or will these memories fade when I leave this town?,
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its a time to fly...
"May our knowledge live with us tonight and until the end of our years. After receiving our diplomas, it means we have made passed the doors of sheltered living, and into the doors of adulthood. So we ask of you Kami, bless us all. Amen." She finished lifting her head.
"Amen." The crowed echoed. Umi smiled and went back to her seat as the audience applauded once again.
"I would like to thank you all for coming tonight. Drive safely. O-yasumi nasai." The principle said once the crowd settled down. Sounds of rumbling feet, crying graduates, "I'll miss yous", and other noises greeted everyone's ears. The three magic knights found each other in the crowd and began to look for their friends from Cephiro.
"Congratulations you guys!" Presea said hugging the three girls. The others nodded as the girls went to their boyfriends who kissed them on the forehead.
"Fuu-chan's right y'know, we did make friends in unusual places." Caldina said wrapping her arm around Lafarga's waist.
"Its true Caldina, we met you guys in a whole different dimension." Umi smiled hugging Ascot.
As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
From whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever...
As we go on,
