How we thought it ended

Akira flipped though the textbook, frowning. She searched frantically for the story that her friend Mai had demanded she study.

"Where is that stupid section I'm looking for?" she snarled under her breath. "If it's so important, then it should be in this freaking history textbook." Her eyes narrowed as she flipped though the French Revolution chapter and then the Reign of Terror. Akira slammed the book shut in frustration.

"The story of Chrono probably doesn't even exist…." She muttered angrily, storming over to her bed. She swiftly picked up her laptop and sat down, glaring at the wall. Akira turned the computer on, still angry about the search.

The laptop buzzed to life, greeting her with a screen that demanded her username and password. She sighed and typed in "DragonKnight" under username, then swiftly typed up her password in the box underneath it. The screen went black for a moment, and then showed a battle scene between a vampire and werewolf with various icons in the corner. Akira clicked on the Internet Explorer icon and patiently waited.

A window popped up not too long after with "Google" displayed at the top with a search box underneath it. She typed "Chrono Cross Storyline" and pressed enter, feeling irritated. Akira browsed the various sites, looking over the story with interest.

"I see you followed through with my advice." A voice said. Akira looked up to see Mai in her doorway, grinning.

"Your mom said it was ok for me to come in and check up on our little research project." She said with a smile. "This is a vital point in history."

"What," Akira said sarcastically, "for a guy to embark on a huge adventure that doesn't really do much of anything only to forget the whole damn thing in the end?"

Mai's smile faded. "That's not really what happened. He did kill the Time Devourer only to get Kid killed in the end. Serge walked away seriously injured and Lavos was let loose again to kill more innocents. Chrono and Lucca couldn't help so Lavos destroyed a great deal of Africa. Why do you think the Sahara is deserted?"

"Maybe because it's a desert?" Akira said sarcastically. "Really Mai, It's not like it rains much over there."

"Think about it." She retorted. "Many people live in various deserts."

Akira ignored her and shut down her laptop. "I'm going to get some rest." She said. "Why would something that didn't happen be so important to history if it isn't even recorded?"

"Because the supernatural exists." Mai responded.
