Nurses shuffled in and out of a white room; the hear monitor continuously beeping in monotone. The young girl lay stifly in the bed, her eyes twitching and fluttering. Each time someone stopped by, they looked down at the girl with saddened eyes. They never stopped watching. They never stopped helping. They never stopped praying.

White. All I could see was white. The three people of before weren't anywhere to be seen. No matter how hard I looked, they just weren't anywhere. The white grew dull and gray. Darkness was tainting my sight. What was going on? Where was I going?

Kira

What? Who said that?

Kira

That voice...I know that voice...

Kira, wake up.

I know him. I know him. It's...it's...

Aerrow.

Aerrow sat patiently at her bed side.

'That was a nasty fall she had.' the young sky-knight thought. Kira stirred slightly, her body stiffening a little. Her eyes opened a little, then started to flutter open. 'Finally, she's awake.'

"So, that was a pretty nasty bash to the head. How are you feeling?" the red-headed boy asked, a warm smile ever present on his face. Kira carefully sat up and looked Aerrow dead in the eye.

"You...your name is..."

"Aerrow." he interrupted. "Sorry I never introduced myself before. I guess I was just wondering more about where you came from." Kira sat up a bit more to face Aerrow.

"That's not what I was about to say." she stated bluntly. "I already knew your name."

"How's that?" Aerrow asked with a surprised look on his face. His expression lingered in his voice along with something else. Suspicion?

"Well, I feel like I've been here before, or I know this place. It's hard to explain, because I know I've never seen this place in my life." Kira said in a sort of monotonous voice. Her gaze drifted downwards towards her hands. They fidgeted with the blankets of the hospital bed as she spoke. "Heck, even being in this hospital feels familiar. It's almost as if I've done all of this before."

Silence over came the room, but then Aerrow spoke again. "Well, maybe if you stay here in Atmosia, your memories will come back." Kira's head shot upo; her gaze was locked on the red-headed sky-knight.

"You mean...you aren't going to stay here with me?" she asked. Her fists clenched around the sheets of the hospital bed.

"Well, we can't stay. We have to protect all of Atmos."

"Then let me come with you!" Kira said; her voice was almost at a yell.

"It's too dangerous, Kira!" Aerrow said. His voice was rising, and he was on his feet. "We fight a lot and have terrible enemies." The room grew quiet. Tension was thick in the air. A soft knock came from the door, and a young medic came in with a sweet smile.

"Young man, I'm going to have to ask you to leave so that the young miss may change." Aerrow gave her a curt nod and started for the door.

"Aerrow, wait." Kira said; he stopped by the door, his back facing Kira. "Please, at least think about letting me go with you. I might be able to remember things if I stayed with you." The room was quiet except for the medic's weak attempts at shooing Aerrow from the room. Aerrow stood rigid at the door; not once did he turn to look at Kira. What was he thinking?

I sat there staring at Aerrow's back. For a while, he didn't say anything; his back didn't turn. The medic even stayed quiet.

"We'll put it to a vote." Aerrow said suddnely. "But no matter what the outcome," he continued and turned towards me. "you have to promise to go through with it."

I gave Aerrow a quick nod and said "I promise if you do." A smirk played across both our lips, and Aerrow let out a light chuckle.

"Sure."

He then left me to the medic's mercy...with all of her sterile seringes and gilp...needles.

After a quick check-out, the reseptionist behing the desk said that my "cute visitor" told me to just look around Atmosia and have fun. While I was walking around, I had met some of the people I had seen aboard the air ship.

"Hey! Kira, over here!" I heard someone call to me. I looked around to find Piper waving at me from a small shop selling brightly colored rocks. With a smile on my face, I ran over to the small shop.

"Hey Piper! What are you doing?" I asked, and my dark skinned friend flashed me a smile. "I'm trying to figure out what kind of crystals these are." She said before turning back to the colorful stones.

"Um...are they quartz crystals?" I asked. Piper just laughed her airy laugh and looked at me like I was joking. "No, seriously." I said. "Aren't they quartz?"

"No!" she said while giving me a surprised look. "I'm trying to see if any these crystals are energy crystals. Stork said the Condor was low on fuel." Now it was my turn to laugh. I mean, crystals that fueled an entire air ship? Was there really such a thing?

"Very funny, Piper. Now seriously, what are you doing?" I asked. My breathing came in short gasps, and yet Piper still looked surprised.

"Wait a minute," Piper said; the face of surprise seemed to be permanent. "are you saying you've never heard of an energy crystal before?" I shook my head; the stupid grin I had on was slipping. "What about a blazer? Icer? Shielder?" Each time, I shook my head. With each shake, my smile slipped further and further away until I looked grim. "Well, I going to have to teach you about crystals later." A smile spread across her face, but I stayed grim.

'Yeah, if I can travel with you.' I thought bitterly to myself.

"Uh, Piper?" I started, but someone came bounding towards us.

"Piper!" Finn called as he skidded to a halt in front of us.

"What is it now, Finn?" Piper asked in an exasperated voice.

"Aerrow gasp needs us pant." Finn said between gasps for air. "He's pant called wheeze a meeting."

'A meeting?' I thought to myself, remembering what the young sky-knight had said.

"Kira, are you goming?" I heard Piper say. I snapped out of my daze only to see that Piper was already a ways ahead of me; she was beckoning me to follow.
I wasn't exactly sure of what I should do, so I just ended up running after Piper and Finn. Whith each step I took, I drew closer and closer to the decision that could very well change my life here.
