Re-cap:

"Well yes I do…" Tsukasa nodded and gestured Fakir to come into his office. Fakir entered the office to find just about what he expected. The windows behind the desk was unnecessarily big and ran the length of the room. The walls were painted a light lavender color. On the right wall there was a glass bookshelf, filled with books: one or two fairytale collections, fictions, astronomy and such. On the other wall was a normal bookshelf with more books on astronomy, and novels. From the ceiling hung a little chandelier of white crystal. Tsukasa sat behind his desk; The desk was made out of cherry wood, well all the furniture was made out of cherry wood. And Fakir took a seat on one of the chair of the desk.

"So what is it that you want to know?"

End of re-cap

.:Normal POV:.

Fakir stared into the principal's ruby eyes with confidence. "I want to know if this book that you wrote is truly real?" Tsukasa gave him a grin; nothing more and nothing less.

"Tell me, Fakir. Do you…believe it's true?" Fakir was taken aback by what Tsukasa had just asked him.

Do I believe it's true? Tsukasa stood up from his chair and faced the window. Fakir looked at the back of the principles body, and wondered if he believed in the story.

"I wrote the book…many years ago when I was still a younger man. Around my twenties. I had recently gotten here to Seiyo, when I met a kind, young couple. The two helped me settle in and find a job. The couple even showed me their most prized possession; their daughter." Fakir stared at Tsukasa's back while he was telling the story.

"Some students of mine from another village came to visit me. They met the young couple and their daughter. After that everything fell apart for them. My students or as you know them as Ahiru's family started and settled here and well…It was not my place to see the rest… In either case the story itself is true in as many ways as possible, and it has been passed down from generation to generation." At this point Tsukasa was facing Fakir with his eyes closed and wearing a small frown. Tsukasa opened his eyes abruptly and looked straight into Fakir's emerald green eyes.

"So tell me Fakir do you believe now that the story is truly true?"

Fakir took a deep breathe and stood up. "Yes…I do believe it's true." Tsukasa smiled and went to Fakir's side. He wrapped his right arm around Fakir's shoulder and walked him towards the door.

"Good. Now I leave you to do the rest with our current little duckling." Tsukasa pushed him out the door of his office and Fakir quickly turned to face the headmaster.

"Huh?" Tsukasa only showed him a smile.

"Now go to class. I'm sure Angel-chan is going to scold you for being late. Take this." Tsukasa handed him a note and closed the door to his office. Leaving Fakir more confused then he was before. None the less, Fakir decided to head to class.

Inside our loveable headmaster's office, Tsukasa was looking out the window, staring at Fakir's retreating body heading towards the Star Moon building.

"Looks like the two shining stars are getting closer with each passing day." Laying on the headmasters desk was a deck of cards. Only two cards were out of the deck and were the Queen and the King

~In the Class~

When Fakir entered the classroom he was scolded by Angel "FAKIR KNIGHT, YOU ARE SIXTY MINUTES LATE TO CLASS. WHERE WERE YOU?" (okay more like yelled at). Fakir handed her the note that Tsukasa had given him. Angel took the paper and read it. She let out a quick sigh and let him go.

"Fine you're excused. Go with Ahiru and practice one last time. REMEMBER CLASS TOMORROW YOU ARE GOING TO BE HELPING IN THE CAFÉ WITH AHIRU'S FAMILY!" Half of the class whispered 'yes' to each other while the others cursed under their breath. Why you ask…Well because this isn't the first time that Ahiru's 'family' has helped out in a school festival.

Fakir walked towards Ahiru. She was helping a boy around the same age as her, but a bit taller than her. "Yes just like that…Good." She was smiling at him, something she doesn't do with a lot of the people she helps out. The boy thanked her and gave her a hug, which wasn't anything new to Ahiru, but to Fakir it was. He felt anger boiling inside his body. He stormed over to where the two were and ripped Ahiru out of the arms of the boy. Both the boy and Ahiru were surprised from the sudden act that Fakir just did. Fakir said nothing, just took Ahiru to another part of the room leave the boy where he was.

Ahiru then found her voice and got out of Fakir grasp. She turn to face him with fire in her eyes on her eyes. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?"

Fakir didn't say anything he just took Ahiru and started to dance the ballroom scene of Romeo and Juliet. Ahiru, of course, tried to brake free from his grasp, but each time she tried his grip grew tighter and tighter. In the end she just decided to go with it until the dance was over. Once it was done she heard a clap. She turned to see where it was coming from and saw Angel-sensei.

"That was wonderfully done. I'm glad that you two got it just right." Ahiru thanked Angel, and excused herself from the class to help with preparations for the cosplay café. Angel allowed it and Ahiru left.

Fakir was going to go follow her but Angel stopped him. "Fakir I need you to help some of the students here with their parts." Fakir did as he was told and moved to help. Angel-sensei turned to where Mytho and Rue were and noticed that the two had improved a lot since they arrived.

"Mytho…I want you to go help Ahiru in the cafeteria." He nodded and went to do as he was told. As for Rue, Angel told her to help the other students, just like she had Fakir do.

~At the Cafeteria~

Ahiru was checking all the costumes for everyone that was helping out with the café. "Okay all the classroom costumes are here. Let's see if the gang's are here." She looked through a box that was labeled Café Fortunes Costumes.

The first one she got was a devil looking one. This is Utau's.

The next was a kid-like clown costume. Same old Rima.

After that one was a cat one. Ikuto…

Ahiru then picked up a costume that looked familiar. It was a female Joker costume. Ahiru smiled. So like Amu.

The next one was a soccer uniform, but not really This has Kukai written all over it. Ahiru smiled.

Ahiru picked up the next one and it was a basketball costume. Nagihiko.

Ahiru checked the last of the costumes: Yaya's, Kairi's, Ran's, Miki's, Daiya's, and Suu's. Ahiru was just finishing putting the costumes back when she felt someone touch her shoulder. She quickly turned around with widening eyes and saw Mytho standing over her.

"Oh. It's just you, Mytho-san." She let out a sigh of relief and gave him a smile.

"I'm sorry. Did I scare you, Miss Ahiru?" She shook her head.

"No…What are you doing here?" Mytho smiled at Ahiru, making her cheeks flush a little.

"Angel-sensei sent here to help you." Ahiru nodded and put the box she was looking at next to the others.

"Alright then you can help me set up the chairs and tables; just like in the café." He nodded and the two started to get to work. Within minutes they were finished. Of course Ahiru did most of the work because Mytho was slow and he didn't really know how the tables in the café were, so Ahiru had to keep telling him where the tables and chairs went.

Ahiru took out her phone to see that school was about to end in five minutes, and during the time Ahiru was telling Mytho where he should put the table she was setting. When she looked over that they had done she decided it wasn't close to how Café Fortune looked, but it was still pretty good. (Angel-chan: Okay I was going to put a picture so you guys can see what I was gong for but I couldn't find one so imaged it and f someone does find one them please tell me or send it to me) Ahiru turned to face Mytho and gave him a smile.

"Alright we're done here. I guess we should get going or else we're going to miss out on Angel-sensei's small speech." He nodded and the two headed back to class. The two made it just in time Angel-sensei was just about to begin her talk.

"Oh. Just in time…Come and take your seats please." The Mytho went next to his friends while Ahiru went to the corner of the room like she always did.

"Great now that everyone is here…I want you all to get a good nights rest because tomorrow is the School Festival and we want another success this year, right?" Everyone cheered.

"Yes…and like always I want you guys to come here one hour earlier than usual… Our first performance is early in the morning. Later Ahiru and the other performances will be helping in the café with the rest. We'll be having three shows two with Ahiru and the other with Rue. Romeos will be with their consecutive partners."

"Yes Angel-sensei," everyone said in unison.

"Alright then. You're all dismissed." And with that the students got up and left. Ahiru grabbed her stuff and went to go change quickly because the sun was going down.

~After changing~

Ahiru was walking towards the school gates when she stopped just a few feet from it. Right there in front of her eyes were Mytho, Rue, and Fakir. Ahiru let out a small sigh and continued walking. She ignored them, but they were getting use to it so they just followed her. During the whole walk everyone was quiet; even Rue, who always tried to get Ahiru's attention.

The four made it to the café just in time to work 'cause it was getting packed with costumers. But it was almost sun down, so Ahiru couldn't help. She went through the front while the others went in through the back to get changed. When she came in she was greeted by everyone that was chatting or waiting for their order.

"Hey, Ahiru. How have you been?" Ahiru turned to face the person with a smile.

"Hey, Kairo…I've been fine. Have a good one." He gave a small bow of the head.

"Ahiru, all time no see."

"It's been a while, Kiri."

"Yo my girl, Ahiru. Where have you been hiding?" Ahiru gave a small giggle to this one.

"Nice to see you to, Koko…And nowhere. Just been busy with school. Enjoy the food." And that how it was until she went to the mangers office. She gave a light knock.

She waited and heard a faint, "Come in." Ahiru opened the door to the office and her ocean blue orbs met with indigo ones.

"Oh Ahiru what is it, sweetie? Do you need something?" It was Utau, who was also the manger of the café.

"No I just want to remind you that tomorrow is my school's Festival and you guys are going to be helping out in my class café."

Utau gave a sigh. "Oh right…well I'll write a note in the morning and stick it on the door of the café so that everyone can go over there." Ahiru gave Utau a smile and with that she left.

Ahiru went up to her room and locked it like she always did at night. Everyone in her family had a key to her room, even Angel and Tsukasa. She quickly changed into her pajamas and went to sleep on top of the bed covers. Ahiru never undid her bed. Not once since she was a baby. Why you ask? Well for one she turns into a duck, making her clothes come off and since her clothes are lose and big she uses them as the covers. She never found winter days cold but a nice breeze.

"I have a feeling that something unexpected is going to happen tomorrow…" And with those last words, Ahiru drifted off to sleep.

~Saturday 5:00~

§§Ahiru's POV§§

"Ahiru-chan, time to get up." My eyes fluttered open when I heard Amu's voice. I looked over to my night stand and saw that it was five in the morning. I let out a sigh and a smile appeared on my face.

"They would only get up this early to get the café ready to go." I got out of bed, grabbed my school uniform, and took a quick shower. It only took me a few minutes to finish washing up. Then I dried my hair and, instead of putting it hair in a long braid, I grabbed it and put it up into a high ponytail. Then I went to the mirror and applied some light make-up: some black mascara, that made my eyelashes more thicker and more visible, a light white eye shadow with a bit of gray, a small amount of blush, one layer of eye liner, and finally some clear lip gloss.

I didn't take a second glace at myself on the mirror when I finished. Instead I hurried downstairs where everyone was waiting. When I got downstairs I saw everyone's eyes brightened up a bit. I gave a small blush but you couldn't tell cause of the small amount of blush I already had. When reaching the bottom of the stairs both Amu and Ikuto came up to me.

"You look beautiful, sweetie," Amu said. She gave me a kiss on my forehead.

"Yes your absolutely breathtaking, and you're going to be more breathtaking when your up on stage with your Juliet dress and all." I gave them a soft, true smile.

"Thanks guys, but you know this isn't the first time I'm doing this."

Ikuto chuckled while Amu giggled. "True…but you never stop trying to amaze us."

After that we all left in the direction of the school. I was walking in the middle of the group; all the girls were on my right while all the boys were on my left. It felt as if I was caged inside a square, but I didn't mind since they always did this when a school festival came up.

The trip only took us fifteen minutes, and, not to my surprise, Angel-chan was already there, waiting for us, 'cause she knows that the first ones to get to the school is always us.

"Morning everyone…"

Everyone, even me, returned the greeting.

"So where's my favorite girl?" The gang made way so that Angel-chan could get a good look at me, and when she saw me she started to squeal. "KYAA! Look at you…You're so gorgeous." I smiled and thanked her.

Then Amu cut in. "Well then we should get thing set up so that the kids won't have to work that much."

Everyone agreed and we all went to school. To my luck the gang didn't let me help out. Why? Well they told me, and I quote, "Oh no you don't you're not doing anything…just yet. You're going to go and try on your Juliet dress because if you help out now your going to be tired later and we know you to well that your not going to show it."

I gave out a sigh and was trying out the dress that the someone made. It was a nice strapless white dress with a yellow ribbon. I put it on and went to put on my matching yellow ballet shoes. Once done I let my hair lose.

I put on the finishing touches of my outfit and looked at myself in the mirror. From the behind Angel appeared with a smile on her face.

"Look at you. You're as beautiful as your….As beautiful as a white rose that just bloomed." I smiled back and turned to face Angel.

"Thank you, sensei." Angel smiled wider and cupped my face in her hands.

"Don't worry you only have to do two shows like always. After that your going to the café to work with the others." I nodded.

"Good. Now then, I'm going to get back to work. You stay here and I'll send our Romeo so that you can give him his costume and he change" Angel pointed to a door that was far down the room. I only used that room once when I had to hide from my classmate because I had already turned into a duck so I don't really know what's in that room since it was dark. I nodded again. Angel gave me a kiss on the forehead and left me there in the room, waiting alone.

"I hope nothing bad will happen today….Not today please."

Angel-chan: THERE I'M FINISHED!

Ahiru: Wow that somewhat longer then your usual chapter.

Fakir: Not that much.

Angel-chan: Yeah this chapter took me a while since I really didn't know how to start this chapter and how to end it. But I did now and I'm finished.

Ahiru: I wonder what's gong to happen in the next chapter.

Angel-chan: Well your going to have to wait and find out so can some one please do the honors.

Rue: PLZ R&R

Angel-chan: Till next time bye~
