A/N: I've never been to college, not yet anyway, and I don't really know too much about it, except what you see on TV a bit and what my dad told me, so sorry for the gaps and things that sound a lot like high school. Soon they'll be out of that environment, but I needed them to have roommates. And for the bit of confusion last chapter, sorry too, I didn't realize how much alike that sounded. Clearing that bit up, Lafarga is the one that's trying to gather them up; Clef is with the others and doesn't remember anything.

Chapter Four

Lafarga tried to think of ways to get them all there at the same time, "It would be easiest just to get them in groups," he muttered.

"Lafarga," Aska warned, "the Guru did not leave enough magic to do that."

"He should've," Lafarga growled in response.

"But he didn't," Sanyun chorused.

Lafarga sighed heavily; he couldn't imagine leaving any of them behind. "So do either of you two have any ideas?" he demanded.

"Parties and fights," Aska thought to herself. "Well, what about an assembly?"

"Wouldn't work," Lafarga answered, "they're all in different years."

"I know! What about a concert?" Sanyun burst out, and they looked at him in surprise. "Gomen, I was just trying to think of ideas…"he mumbled.

"No that's a great idea!" Aska interrupted Lafarga. "We'll have a concert!"

*

"Hey guys check it out!" Hikaru called to her friends who surrounded her as she pulled the notice off the board. "A free concert!"

"Awesome! Let's check it out!"

*

"F…Fuu," Ferio was at a loss of words, and his confidence failed him.

"Yeah?" she asked as she looked through the book, trying to find a better way to teach him.

"I think that we should go to that concert, to you know-look for that guy," he almost hit himself for the way that came out. Her face dropped, and she nodded.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

'Stupid Ferio!' he yelled at himself. 'You should have told her you wanted to go with her, because you liked her!'

"So besides that," Fuu looked back to the book and began to gently explain. Somehow though, he heard a wistful tone in her voice, and it made him guilty.

*

"Come on Umi, you're going," Caldina waved a set of fake tickets in her face.

"You all ready got tickets?" Umi whined. "Wait a sec."

Caldina raised her brows, "Yeah?"

"I thought that concert was free," Umi glowered at her when she laughed hesitantly and put a hand behind her neck.

"Well…yeah…but…only a limited number of seats…and…"

"Cal!"

"Please?"

"Fine."

*

Hikaru, Presea, Eagle and Lantis, Geo and Zazu headed to the concert together, as one big group.

"I wonder who's playing," Hikaru looked excited. It had been a big mystery.

"No one good if the tickets are free," Eagle commented, and Hikaru glared.

"Spoil sport!" she called.

He grinned, "Well it's true!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

Lantis and Presea sighed heavily, "Both of you," Presea stopped them. "Shut up before I get a migraine."

They both apologized quickly and looked back to the stage in their amphitheater, waiting anxiously for the band to come on.

*

Ferio, Fuu and Ascot arrived just about the same time as the others, but they were lost in the sea of people. None of them had seen each other…yet.

"So Fuu, how many of these have you been to?" Ferio jested, and she shook her head.

"None," she admitted.

"None?" Ascot and Ferio asked simultaneously.

She nodded, "Yeah…is that bad?"

"No, just weird," Ascot clasped a hand over his mouth. "I'm sooo sorry!"

"It's okay, really," Fuu waved her hands. "I get that a lot; I know you didn't mean it."

Ferio smiled at her, so forgiving.

She got nervous under his eyes and began fidgeting nervously.

He smiled wider, and adorable.

*

Caldina, Umi, and Caldina's friends, Tatra and Tartra, were in the crowd that night. They walked in, and there were a few muffled whispers and a few whistles. Umi glared and pulled her black sweater closer over her thick blue hair so no one would notice her.

"Umi, it's okay," Caldina tried to assure her, but she was nowhere they could reach her. Her eyes swung from side to side as they mocked her when they were silent. She looked around, and her hands began to sweat.

"Sorry, what did you say Cal?" she looked around, constantly searching.

"Nothing," Caldina waved it off and hugged her shoulders. "Let's just enjoy the show okay?"

Umi nodded and looked to the stage. Quickly, her mask was put back on, and she never turned to look at them when they said anything, nothing bothered Umi Ryuuzaki. She was determined to stick to that too.

*

Clef walked hesitantly into the amphitheater, feeling he needed to be there. The dream still seemed to plague him. He was in another world, there was a staff in his hand and the image was as clear as if it was a memory.

"I will go with the Magic Knights to earth," his voice was the same, but somehow wiser, older.

"Guru you can't!" a little girl with her hair in buns like cat ears protruding from the sides of her head protested. Her outfit was foreign, it was a white skirt with red, purple and golden jacket. A piece of the jacket fell to her pointy red shoes and sported a yin-yan. Her blue eyes were innocent but quick, and young.

"My dearest Aska, I must," his eyes seemed sad as he looked at himself reflected in this strange outfit he wore. The pants were white and normal looking, but the jacket was a periwinkle color and held gold trim. Shoulder armor was connected to a white cape with purple gems. There was a large purple gem on his forehead, and the staff was almost as tall as he was.

"Why?" Lafarga demanded. "If you must go than why cannot I go?"

"Because someone must be here to revive them. I'm leaving my magic to you, enough to get us all back only once," he speculated, and the man's eyes fell.

He looked familiar. Suddenly, it hit him, that was the man who wanted to speak to that girl at the party! Weird, he thought in his dream.

"Guru," and there was that girl. Her long blue hair fell down in a free wave down a slender body. The outfit she wore fit her curves magnificently. She was in every way the most gorgeous creature he had ever seen. She bowed low and stayed on the floor; her head was bowed. The dress spread out beneath her like a silk blue sheet.

"Umi-hime," he answered with a smile on his lips.

"We are ready," she stayed bowed, and he frowned slightly.

"Umi, look up."

She wouldn't. She just stood and bowed to the man with the purple eyes, then ran from the room, her head in her hands.

And then he woke up.

He looked around him now and tried to find the reason that he felt he needed to be here. He didn't need to wait long before he found it.

On the stage stepped a man with blond hair and dangerous purple eyes.

*

"Oh my God," Hikaru's mouth went dry.

Lantis growled deep in his throat, and his hand went to his hip as if expecting something to be there.

"Who's that?" Presea asked softly.

"A psychopath," Lantis mumbled.

"He says I'm a Princess, and he speaks with a foreign accent. The strange thing is, he has a bow similar to a Japanese bow," Hikaru added to Lantis' brief explanation.

"Princess…" somehow the word struck Eagle.

No one heard him through the groans of displeasure though, as the man walked to the front of the stage. "Thank you all for coming…"

*

Fuu looked at Ferio, and he nodded to Ascot who asked if this was the guy.

"What shall we do?" Fuu inquired softly.

"We'll slowly walk up to him and try to ask him a few questions," Ferio answered.

"O-okay," she sounded scared, so he gripped her hand firmly and smiled at her reassuringly.

She smiled back, and they began to walk toward the stage.

*

"Him?" Umi whispered.

"Come on," Caldina grabbed her, feeling pulled to the handsome stranger. Tatra and Tarta followed quickly behind.

*

"This is so weird," Clef muttered as he walked forward. He ran into a girl wearing a sweater as black as the night; he didn't know she was even there until he ran into her, "Uh, sorry."

She spun and looked into his crystal blue eyes. Her greeting was not what it would have been on another day, "Oh…"

"What's going on?"

"Not sure," she shook her head and pulled the hood closer to her as they approached. He had an overwhelming urge to pull it away and touch that shimmering hair. He shook his head when she titled her head and looked at him curiously.

"Come on," he got close to the edge of the stage and looked into purple eyes; eyes that were so familiar yet so distant.

*

Lafarga watched them all come forward, three groups. His eyes met Clef's, and he nodded and closed his eyes. Before he did he let his gaze linger on Caldina. She stepped back, but his words engulfed her, and she couldn't move, no one could.

"Fires of Mountains, Torrents of Air, Rivers of Water, take them from here

By the power of Fire, Water and Air, by the Master Mage and the Civilians

Transport them from here forever more!"

In a flash of red, white, blue, black and green light, they were pulled from the amphitheater and into an unknown and very known land.

A/N: I'll probably concentrate most on Lantis/Hikaru/Eagle and Clef/Umi/Ascot, sorry Fuu/Ferio fans. Those two sets kind of have more to make of their story. There will still be Fuu/Ferio fluff though, so don't tune out! And if you want to make suggestions to which they end up with I'm open to anything.
