8 years had past since Hikaru, Umi and fuu had been to Cephiro. No longer in middle school, but young adults. Hikaru had stayed at her familys dojo and became a teacher of Kendo. Umi had started a modeling career and had a boyfriend. As for Fuu she went into the business world. Life had changed for these 3, but not there friendship. Though so much time had past and they haven't been able to go back to Cephiro the feelings for Lantis that Hikaru had had not gone away. As for Fuu she still had feelings for Ferio, but had been discouraged and was losing hope of ever seeing him again. She had been on a blind date with a man who wouldn't stop talking about himself.
'Why did I go on this date again?' She thought to herself. The man stopped talking and cleared his throat.
"Um excuse me am I boring you?" The man asked with an annoyed look on his face. Fuu hadn't even noticed that she had been looking out the window. She quickly looked at the man.
"No not at all. Sorry I only looked out the window for a moment." She didn't really think she owed him an apology, but she didn't want to come off as rude.
"Oh I suppose that's fine. Anyways..what was I saying? Oh yeah so..." He started talking again about his job or something. Fuu wasn't really sure. She made sure to look at him, but wasn't paying all that much attention to what he was saying. Soon the food had arrived and Fuu was happy. Maybe this would finally mean that he would be quiet. She began eating and then the man started talking again between taking bites of food. Ever since she had met the man at the restaurant he had only been talking about himself. The only thing Fuu had told him about herself was her name and where she worked. The only good thing about the date was the food. As soon as the date was over she would make sure not to have anything to do with this man again. She was looking down at her plate then looked up back at the man and she gasped. It was no longer the man, but Ferio.
"Fuu is your food good? I hope your enjoying yourself. Just being here with you brings me joy." He smiled a very handsome smile. Fuu's heart started beating a little harder and she smiled a soft smile.
"Oh Ferio."
"What? Ferio who's that?" Soon Ferio's image faded and the man's took his place. Fuu's cheeks blushed from embarrassment.
"Well...ah...you see." Fuu didn't really know how to tell him that she had been daydreaming about a love from a long time ago. Before she could think of something to tell him he had gotten up from his seat.
"I think this date is over." The man left without saying goodbye and without paying for his food. Fuu sighed and pulled her wallet from her purse and put money on the table. As she was leaving people had been stairing at her. She was doing her best not to look at them as she walked by. As she got out the doors she let out the breath she had been holding. She thought about calling a cab, but after what had just happened she thought a walk would do her good.
'I did it again. I know the dinner wasn't going well anyways, but why did I daydream about Ferio? Even if the date I'm on is going well I do the same thing. Why do I keep doing this to myself?' A tear rolled down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away. She picked up her pace and was soon to her apartment. As soon as she had gotten into her apartment she locked the door, took a shower and got in her pj's. She sat on her bed not really quite tired enough to sleep. Fuu got up and went over to her computer desk. She opened one of the drawers and pulled out the pink orb that Ferio had given her. For some reason this time she came back from Cephiro It had stayed with her, but as much as she tried she couldn't talk to Ferio. She took it with her as she went out to her balcony. The breeze blew her hair around. She went up to the rail and leaned on it.
"The moon sure is beautiful tonight." She smiled then looked down at the orb.
"Ferio I wish I could see you. No matter what I do I can't seem to get over you." Now tears were streaming down her face and this time she wasn't wiping them away. She put the orb to her forehead and cried.
"It's been so long now, but I still see your face so clearly. In my dreams when I sleep or when I daydream. I told myself that I must get over you, but you still have a hold on me." She had said this all outloud, but she didn't care. When it seemed like she had cried out every last drop of water from her eyes she pulled the orb away from her forehead and headed back inside. Sleep didn't come easy for her that night.
