A/N: Hi people! Here's a two-shot that I thought of... when I was playing Tales of Xillia... yeah, I'm sorta stepping out of the Symphonia side so... yeah. :3 I also began to read stories of Alvin x Leia so I thought that I should try (even though I hadn't been writing for a long time XD). I also played Abyss and Graces, but I got no idea for them... but maybe later... Now, I'll shut mah mouth and you can read.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot... I think...

"You did great as always, Milla," Jude complimented.

"I only did thanks to you," she smiled.

Milla sheathed her sword after the fight was over, knowing that there won't be another fight until a little later.

Leia watched as the two oblivious love birds praised and admire each other. She sighed, wishing it was her being flattered by Jude. She was so envious that Jude chose Milla over her, even though they were friends since childhood.

However, she did have to admit that their teamwork was superior than anyone else's. She did notice that they performed almost every link attacks that were possible, and they performed them at any chance they had. It was almost like they were in sync.

"Something on your mind?" A voice sounded from behind her.

She almost jumped, "A-Alvin!" she exclaimed. A smirk formed on his face as she tried to recompose herself. She sighed, "It's nothing," she turned away after replying, hoping the conversation would end. Besides, she never entirely forgave him for shooting her in the back.

"Heh, jealous?" Alvin wondered why he decided that continuing this conversation was the best idea. This might end up causing a larger gap between them, but he wanted to try and fix the problem now rather than wait til later. Their journey didn't seem close to over anyway, and there was the possibility that one of them might die on this travel.

She turned back to him and answered with a tiny bit of frustration and embarrassment in her tone, "I-I'm not jealous... I was just wondering if... I could do link artes like them..." Well... at least she told him half of the truth, partly because she didn't trust him fully and also because she felt somewhat uncomfortable around him.

Alvin thought for a moment before saying, "Look, I know that you most likely don't trust me, but I want to help you," he said with sincerity. He didn't like how Leia kept avoid him for a while, and it was starting to make him feel... unwanted. And because they were comrades, he wanted to make sure that she would trust him when it came down to a difficult situation.

When he said this, it surprised Leia that he wanted to actually help her. She avoided his gaze and hesitated. Maybe he did change... she shook her head, Alright... I'll give him a second chance.

"Well... maybe you can help, but..." she turned her head up to see that Alvin was waiting for her to finish. "I want to link with Jude, but seeing him happy battling along side Milla makes me want to not interfere, you know?"

Alvin smirked and the same playful glint appeared in his eyes again, "So, you want to make Jude jealous? That sounds a little... dark."

Leia's eyes widened, "I didn't say that! I-" she stopped. Maybe she did want to make Jude jealous. She sighed in defeat, "Okay maybe just a little jealous..."

"Is this where I come in?" Alvin asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah..." she couldn't believe the next words that came out of her mouth, "Can we link... next battle?" her stomach made flips, I can't believe I just asked that...

"Hmm... well, I'm going to need some payment..." Alvin smirked.

"Wh-what!? You said you were going to help me!" she protest.

"I was kidding," Alvin laughed. She made a pout that made Alvin chuckle inwardly, She looks cute when she does that, this thought shocked him, but he brushed it aside and pretended that he didn't think that.

They pinky promised and hurriedly caught up to the others (although Alvin took his time).

As the group tried to keep their pace, a blade rex and two different fillifolia species appeared before them.

"Okay guys, like before," Jude directed. Elize and Rowan stepped back and began chanting.

Jude looked to Milla, "Let's link!"

"Right, I have your back," she responded in a calm fashion. A blue glow engulfed both of them, and they charged into battle.

Leia looked at Alvin, "C'mon! Let's go!" she said cheerfully. Alvin just smirked and they both began to glow except this time, they were engulfed in a green light. Together, they headed towards one of the fillifolia.

The sight surprised Elize, "I thought Leia didn't like the big fat liar?"

Rowan chuckled, "Perhaps they wanted to make amends," he reasoned.

"I hope Leia will be alright..." Even though Elize didn't want to trust Alvin, she knew that if Leia believed that Alvin could become a better person, then so should she. For now, all she can do is believe that Alvin won't hurt Leia.

"Milla! Final Gale!"

"Right! Final Gale!" they shouted in unison. Two slashes were drawn in the air, one with Milla's blade, and the other with Jude's fist. Together, both slashes created a powerful 'x' that ripped the air and pushed the blade rex back.

"Nice one, Milla!" Jude praised.

"Thank you, but now's not the time for the compliments," she said in a serious tone. She watched as the dragon got right back up.

The duo charged at the dragon until a purple fillifolia tripped Jude by grabbing his right foot. He fell with an 'oof' exiting his mouth and the air knocked out of him.

Milla stopped in her tracks, "Jude!" she noticed the fillifolia holding his right foot. "That's enough!" she declared as she slashed at it. The fillifolia let go and retreated to the other side of the battlefield and began casting a dangerous looking spirit arte.

"Are you alright?" Milla asked as she moved towards Jude quickly.

"I-I'm alright, but behind you!" Jude pointed and Milla turned her head to see the charging dragon.

She braced herself for the impact but was relieved to see Leia strike the snout of the dragon, which caused its focus to faze and altogether stop its charge. Alvin, who was right behind her, slashed at the blade rex's side which caused it to fall to its side.

"Is Jude okay?" Leia asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," He reassured her, but as he got up, he winced in pain and fell right back down.

"What's wrong?" Milla asked.

"I think that fillifolia just twisted my joint," Jude chuckled a bit even though he was in pain.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you," Leia began chanting when Milla stopped her. "What?"

"I'll take care of him, you watch out for that dragon," she motioned toward the dragon, but noticed that it was engulfed in a blue light.

"Everyone! The purple fillifolia just cast Cure! Take that one out first!" Elize called.

"Cure? How's that possible?" Jude wondered aloud from the ground.

"We'll wonder about it later, for now the fillifolia must be taken down. Hurry Leia!" Milla directed.

"Right!" she obeyed dutifully. She charged towards the purple fillifolia when suddenly, a tail, armed with lethal spikes, slammed into her; the oxygen knocked out of her lungs. She was flinged into the air and was about to make contact with the ground when arms caught her.

"Leia, are you alright!?" A concerned but familiar voice called.

Her vision was a bit disoriented, but when she was able to focus again, she saw Alvin's face. "A...Alvin? Ugh..." She felt like throwing up, but she didn't want to. She had to be strong, but her body lost to unconsciousness and she blacked out.

A/N: To anyone who read this previously, I did rewrite it to make it into a two-shot. Not sure when the second half might come out, but it might later.
