Shoujoland: New Ownership

[Nikki]

"Oh great" Dannie said seeing the fainted girl. "Someone help me carry her to a bed"

[Sasha]

Ken finds her way back to the gate and notices the note directing her to the apartments. " Great now I have to walk even more and these boots are killing my feet." She mumbles and follows the sign.

[Mystic Mina]

Tsubasa hurried in after the rest of the group. DARN HIS WRITER BEING SO LAZY!

---

"Um.... Yeah.... It's no problem, really. Don't worry about it...."

Waves of guilt passed over Fuu. She felt like a fraud leading Umi on like this.... Maybe she should just-

Let me take over?

The Mark in her head blacked out....

~~~

"I'm sorried to worry you, Umi-san. Forgive me, I wasn't not quite feeling like myself."

The TRUE Fuu smiled brightly in an attempt to lift up the spirits of the blue-haired girl. She just hated seeing her usually confident friend so down in the dumps....

"You don't have worry yourself, Umi. I'm fine. In fact.... Maybe I'll go along with you to that pool party? Would that make you feel better?"

Huh.... What? What happened?

[AshK]

"Do you guys still want to have that pool party and invite everybody?" Alex asked.

"I think that is a good idea. However, I really don't think Fuu-Chan trusts us." Stephanie said.

"I'm hoping that Umi-Chan can get her to trust us. I say the Pool Party is back on." Leigh said.

"We so totally agree!" Stephanie and Alex said in unison.

*The sisters changed into their Bikinis Alex was wearing a Yellow Bikini, Stephanie was wearing a Red Bikini and Leigh was wearing a blue Bikini. then then put Jean Shorts on over them. They then headed back to the lobby with nothing but their bikini tops, bottoms, jean shorts over the bottoms and sandals that matched their Bikini tops.*

*They arrive in the main part of the apartments.*

"Hey everybody we are thinking of having a pool party. Do you all want to come. Is it okay if we have one Amy-Chan?" Alex asked.

"I can understand if you don't want to join us Fuu-Chan. You probably still think that we gave you that body by forcing you through the forest." Stephanie said.

"We didn't force you through the forest, we rescued you after you fell down after running into the trees. I sure hope you will be able to trust us one day. Anyone who wants to join us for the pool party, meet us outside the Pool of Romance." Leigh said.

"Is it alright if we have a pool party Amy-Chan your invited and so is everyone else that lives here and works here if they wish to come." Leigh finished.

*The sisters were waiting for a response from their manager and the rest of the Staff/Residences of Shoujoland.*

Bob leads the others into the lobby where a pimply, older man waits behind a counter with the name "Dean" written on a plastic name tag.

"Four for the next session, please!" Bob happily slapped his payment on the counter. Dean processes the transaction with as little motion or emotion as humanly possible. "Next session starts in five minutes. Please wait in the designated area." As they go off, Dean can be heard saying "Worst. Cosplay. Ever!"

The waiting area has a couple open benches. The rest are taken up by a rowdy group of kids accompanied by one extremely apathetic woman.

Bob gets a conspiratorial look. "Hey, looks like we've got competition. I say we team up and take 'em all out. You guys with me?"

Naru simply sits down on a bench and pats the seat next to her, looking at Tsubasa. "I think teaming up is a good idea. How about you?"

[Mystic Mina]

Tsubasa sighed as he took a seat next to Naru, making sure that he didn't take up too much room on the bench. He wouldn't want Naru to feel uncomfortable, after all.

"Hm? Yeah, I think teaming up is a good idea.... Um.... Sorry if I mess up. I'm not really good at stuff like this...."

[Sasha]

Kyuubi's ears twitch as she hears him say that and thinks to herself how much she'll hurt him later on. " Ya sure."

[muffinstud]

Naru let out a sigh of relief. "Well, that makes two of us. I've never done this before. It doesn't hurt when you get shot, does it?"

[AshK]

*The sisters are still waiting for approval of the pool party from Amy.*

[Azathoth]

Umi hears the... rather loud proclamation of the impending pool party, and then listens happily to what Fuu has to say.

"I would love that, Fuu-Chan. It would be just the thing to take our minds off of all the odd things that have been happening recently. Lets go see if we cant borrow a swimsuit from someone around here."

Umi leads Fuu around the apartments, looking for someone to talk to, when suddenly she stops infront of a room. Outside the door, a little plaque underneath the room number read "Rayearth". Interested, Umi opens the door to find a large furnished apartment, seemingly empty.

"Well... speaking of odd things... but it cant hurt to have a look around."

After awhile she finds the bedrooms. Next to a blue bed was a cabinet and vanity which had a picture of her parents on it? Sure enough, they were Umi's parents. And next to them was a picture of Clef the archmage of Cephiro, and even one of the older looking Ascot.

"I think... these are our rooms."

OOC: No problem, Mina... Oh, and I hope no one minds me creating this little plot device. I thought it would be useful, and another part of the odd magic of Shoujoland.

[AshK]

"So Amy-Chan can we have the pool party?" Alex asked.

"I think it will be a lot of fun." Stephanie said.

"It sure will be. Please Amy-Chan?" Leigh says then begs.

[Mystic Mina]

"That is quite strang- .... Oh.... Oh my...."

Fuu couldn't believe it. There, on a vanity next the the green bed in the room, lay a framed photo of Ferio....

"I.... Haven't seen him for so long." Fuu whispered as she took the precious item in her hands. "It's been three years since I've last seen his face...."

[Azathoth]

Umi smiled a bit at Fuu's reaction. Shure she had very fond memories of Ascot and Clef... but at the time it seemed that it would be impossible for anything deeper to happen between them. Clef had always been busy somewhere else in the defence of Cephiro. And Ascot... well, she still thought of him as the ten year old boy that they met the first time they had come to Cephiro.

But Fuu and Ferio... they seemed to hit off from the moment they met. And in every encounter after that, their feelings grew. Maybe someday they would return to Cephiro... someday Fuu and Ferio would be together again. As for Ascot and Clef... someday, maybe.

"Yes... a shame how we are constantly being hurled into other dimensions, but those we care for are unable to come to us. Dont worry, Fuu-Chan. I am sure we will see all of our friends in Cephiro again someday, if we wish for it hard enough."

She left the photos and opened the cabinets, various outfits greeted her eyes. The predominant color was blue.

"You know... if blue wasnt my favorite color... this restriction in wardrobe varieties might annoy me."

As if to prove her point, and to reveal the object of her search, Umi held up a blue and black one-piece swimsuit.

OOC: Nice avatar, Mina ^^

[Sasha]

Ken finds her way to the apartment and knocks. "Is the owner here?"

[AshK]

*The three sisters head to the door. Alex answers it.*

"Oh hi there. You want to see the manager okay." Alex said.

"Amy-Chan you have another one!" Stephanie and Leigh said in unison.
