Sulani at Heart
Finally, my 'Sulani save' story has begun! I'm not great at coming up with titles. Sulani at Heart was designed to cover the fact that the Matsumoto triplets likely won't all live in Sulani as they ge...

First chapter is here! Clubs are definitely a great way of meeting potential boyfriends. It's fairly short, so I'll post the whole thing here.

Now that my sisters and I were too old for our children's club, I decided to set up a teen one. The list of available members was huge, and there was only limited space. So, on an impulse, I decided to see if there were any other teenage Spellcasters in the area.
"Five," I muttered to myself, looking the faces. Two other girls and three boys. Grinning, I added the boys' names to the members' list.

On Saturday afternoon, I headed over to Ohan'ali Beach; as the guys all lived in Sulani, I thought it'd be a good, central meeting-point, easier to get to than the Magic Realm.
"Hello, would you happen to be Arisa Matsumoto by any chance?" asked a voice behind me.
I turned round and noticed a light-skinned guy with pale blond hair watching me, and I had to a suppress a gasp. Oh, he was cute.
"Um, yes, that's me," I replied. "How did you know my name?"
"Well, I knew that Arisa was the club leader," he said, "and you looked like you were waiting for people to arrive. My name's Declan O'Reilly." His voice had a slight Irish lilt to it.
"Oh right. I haven't noticed you round here before," I said.
"Yeah, my family only recently moved here from Oasis Springs."
"Oh, cool," I replied. "Yeah, my family's always lived in Sulani. Have you got any siblings?"
"Yes. I've got a twin sister, Ciara, and a younger sister called Orla."
"Oh, you're a twin! I'm a triplet, myself."
"Triplet?" he asked interestedly. "Judging by your name, I'm guessing that Keiko and Sakura are your sisters."
"Yeah," I replied.

A while later, Keiko and Sakura had come over from using the sea loungers, and the guy I presumed to be Kai Nakayama had also arrived.
"So, you're Japanese, are you?" Declan asked.
"Yeah, half," I replied. "I know I don't look it. My sisters and I all look like our mother."
"Does your dad come from Mt Komorebi at all?" Kai asked.
"Umm... I don't know," I confessed. "I never really asked. Do you?"
"Yeah," Kai replied. "But Mum fancied moving somewhere with a warmer climate. I know I must look ridiculous in this sweater and jeans. I guess I need to stock up on summery clothing."
"Isn't there supposed to be a third guy?" Sakura put in.
"Yeah, he's called Felix," I said, remembering the name. "Maybe he's new to Sulani, too, and doesn't know where Ohan'ali Beach is."
"Hello, sorry I'm late," panted someone. "I got lost."
Sakura looked at the new guy and blushed.
Someone's got a crush! I thought.
Then, before I could say anything, Sakura headed over to the sea. I'd never known her come over all shy before. Perhaps it was different when you fancied someone?

Eventually, though, she warmed up and began talking, whilst I went to the toilet.
"So, you're Felix," Sakura said.
"Yeah, that's me," he replied. "I'm originally from Henford-on-Bagley."
"Oh nice," Sakura smiled. "Rather different to Sulani, then."
"Very," Felix replied. "Dad fancied the move. He loves gardening, and Sulani's culture of conservation appealed to him."
"Yeah, it does to my Uncle Max," Sakura explained. "He's really passionate about Sulani and its lifestyle."
"I hope to learn more about Sulani," Felix smiled.
"You could meet my uncle, if you like," she replied. "He's really friendly. I'm sure he'll love you if you ask him about Sulani traditions."
