A/N:Whoa. I wrote this in one night. Boy am I motivated. Anyways, just a silly little idea drifting around my head. And I kinda dragged it on cause I wanted it to be more than 1k long. Oh well. After Iris everything just goes all wacky. But I hope you enjoy.

This will be more than a one-shot. Not sure how much more. I'll just add stuff as inspiration hits me. And time periods will definitely jump around. Just a goofy little thing I felt like writing so please don't take it seriously.

I never mentioned what this was about...Anyways, immortality, little bits and pieces of their lives from different time periods. I'm going with Golden Sun taking place many, many, many, many years into the past.

LINE OF HAPPINESS

"Warriors, you have been summoned," the Great Healer said as he stood before our troupe of eight wandering Adepts.

"But…But we're in the middle of eating," Jenna complained around the cookie in her mouth. "Just let us finish, then we'll come." There was a murmur of agreement from the other seven.

"I am sorry," the Great Healer replied, "But this is the only chance you've got. You should be honored a Goddess would come to Weyard to visit you.

"A Goddess!" Mia exclaimed, jumping out of her chair in excitement. "Then we've got to go now!"

"But Mia…Food," Garet complained, showing a piece of bread to Mia.

She just sighed and grabbed Felix and Isaac, dragging them along behind her. She knew the others would eventually follow their unofficial leaders. And just as she predicted, albeit with much grumbling, the rest of the group followed. She let go of the Venus Adepts' wrists.

"Why'd she have to drag us?" Felix whispered to Isaac as they dropped back to join the others.

"'Cause she's Mia," he replied. He rubbed his wrist. Mia had a strong grip when she was being forceful. Note to Self: Don't Piss Off Mia.

"So," Sheba wondered out loud as the group followed behind the Great Healer, "Who do you think wants to see us and why?"

"Not a clue," Ivan responded. "Hope whoever She is, She's not mad at us for lighting the Lighthouses."

"Good point."

Piers, the only one with enough sense to grab some food before they left the table, slipped some of it over to Garet. Garet's face instantly brightened as he munched on the food while mumbling some form of the word "Thanks."

Of course, Piers had an ulterior motive that focused more on keeping Garet quiet so none of them would be smited.

The Great Healer seemed to be leading the group toward the base of Mt. Aleph, where Vale once stood. They trekked to the entrance of Sol Sanctum. In front of the shrine, the air shimmered, as the deity materialized.

"Hello, Warriors," the Goddess spoke, voice echoing. "I am Iris, and I am sorry to take you away from your meal, but I do not have much time. Appearances by us gods are difficult unless we are summoned." Everyone stood in awe, brain-dead from Iris' radiance. "The Pantheon has decided to bequeath upon you, the eight Adepts who lit the Lighthouses and saved Weyard, immortality."

There were a couple of confused faces; actually, they all were. "What?" everyone questioned, brains not ready to translate the flowery language.

Iris just sighed. "I told them not to send me. But no, I'm the Queen of the Gods, I have to go." She continued grumbling. "It means you are all immortal now. You can't die, okay. So, happy eternity." With that, Iris disappeared, murmuring something about killing Charon for making her come down.

Our happy group of eight plus one just decided to stand there with a dumbfounded look on their faces. And they stood there, and stood there. Spring passed, then Summer, followed by Autumn and Winter, before finally stopping in Spring again, all in the span of a few minutes.

"Ok, well, I'm gonna go get back to the food," Piers stated, breaking the silence, starting to wander away. "Because you see, I'm a Lemurian so I was practically immortal before so this isn't something completely life-changing for me. I'll leave you guys here to deal with your thoughts, so, bye!" He left with an unnerving grin on his face, ready to take all the sweets he could for himself.

Something Piers said penetrated the dead brains of the rest of the Adepts (plus the Great Healer.) "Food!" they groaned as one. They proceeded to act like zombies and limped back to the table to eat. Soon though, the zombies turned on one of their own, The Great Healer. "You are not one of us!" the zombies screeched. "Begone!" The Great Healer screamed and disappeared in a plume of smoke.

"Does anyone else think the seriousness of the situation has been lost and everything's gone all random?" Felix asked, snapping everyone out of the zombie state.

"You better believe it has," replied Jenna. "Who cares though? We're immortal now. We can do whatever. Besides, most of us aren't even of age yet. Therefore, it's against the law to be serious. In fact, you and the old man over there," An indignant yell from Piers, "Are the only two."

As Felix tried to puzzle out what Jenna just said, a fight was engaged over who would get the last slice of pie.

"I say it's mine!" Mia exclaimed. "I'm a girl and I need my sugar!" Jenna pushed her out of the way.

"Well then it should be mine, I'm younger," cried Sheba, fending off one of Piers' forks before engaging Ivan in mortal combat.

"Jupiter Adepts don't need more sugar," Isaac tried to reason while fending everyone off. "And it's a known fact that Venus Adepts are sleepier because of our connection with the earth." He batted away Garet. "Therefore, it's mine!" And he lunged.

There was a mad scramble. A dog-pile on the pie. No, it was too late, the pie was squashed. Everyone got up, but nobody could even see a remnant of the pie.

Off to the side, Felix was licking his fork clean having decided to ignore Jenna's proclamation. "That was delicious pie." It was then he noticed everyone staring at him. "What? I'm the oldest, so I should get it."

Piers saw red. He tackled Felix to the ground. "I'm the oldest!" he hissed. "It should've been mine!" Felix just jumped up and ran away like a little girl. "After him!" Thus started a mad scramble across New Vale, following Felix and promising him much pain.

Piers just cackled insanely. Another word to the wise: Don't Feed Lemurians Sugar. They tend to go a little crazy. He set off to help on the man-hunt, scaring small animals and children.

Felix was not one to give up easily. So he concocted a plan, a devious plan. He would use his new-found immortality to protect himself.

His great plan consisted of throwing himself in the same river he almost drowned in the first time. Ivan was the first to find him.

"You're not very smart," Ivan said, "You know that, right?"

Felix just blinked at him from the middle of river where he was holding onto a pole.

"We have two Mercury Adepts."

Oh…That would be a problem wouldn't it? And just on cue, Mia came sliding into sight. She chuckled at his predicament.

Felix screams would be heard all the way in the Apoji Islands. Garet had found someone who would help him practice his accuracy with Psynergy. Meanwhile, Isaac hid. His Venus Adept senses telling him to help Felix, but his common senses (also known as Djinn) told him to stay right where he was.

Thus began the adventures of our immortal crew of wandering bandits—

"Warriors!"

Right. So, what would the future hold for them? And what about Kraden? Was he granted immortality for being that annoying old man who came along and explained everything but had to make the explanations exceedingly long and boring? Only time would tell. And now they had all the time in the universe.
