Hello!. So if you follow me on tumblr (the link's on my profile if you want to check it out), than you know that I've been teasing a new fanfic for a while. Well, here it is. This is definitely the most ambitious fanfic I've written to date, and I'm super excited for you all to read it. I think it's extremely different from anything I've seen on the site, so I'm quite proud of it. I don't care if it's popular or not: I just want to write this.

This fanfic is going to be in three parts. Part two will be uploaded tomorrow afternoon, and part three will be up on Monday. I already planned it out, so it will NOT be any longer.

I'm only going to say this once: the main characters will most likely be OOC in each part. I apologize if that bothers anyone, but it's just because each chapter is in a different.

I own absolutely nothing.

Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D

Naga looked pleased with what she saw in front of her. Earth was finally complete, and it couldn't have looked more beautiful. The sun shone bright, its reflection bouncing off the surface of the clear blue ocean water. The green trees created a huge forest, with an exceptionally large tree standing in the middle of it all. Some trees- including the biggest one- held fruit, while others did not. Animals roamed freely throughout the land, each one of them eager to explore this new place.

But there was still one thing missing- and Naga knew exactly what it was.

She promptly grabbed a handful of soil, and turned into a man. The newest creation in the world stood at about five foot six, and had fair skin. His short blonde hair complemented his blue eyes, making him look quite handsome.

"You're name will be… Shulk," Naga said.

Shulk nodded, but didn't respond.

Pleased, Naga removed an extra rib from the man's body. She used it to create a blue-haired, blue-eyed woman. Her skin was also quite fair, though she was shorter than her now breathless counterpart.

She… she's beautiful, thought Shulk.

"And your name is Lucina," Naga added.

"Thank you," Lucina replied with a nod.

"Now go out and be free. But please- do not eat any fruit from the largest tree in the forest. It is the Tree of Knowledge, and it is extremely sacred. You're both allowed to consume fruit from the other trees, but that tree is off limits. Do you both understand?"

"Yes," Shulk and Lucina answered in union.

"Good. I must go now, but I will be back."

After Naga left, Lucina and Shulk studied one another carefully. Moments passed before Shulk voiced his earlier thought.

"You look beautiful."

"Oh…t-thank you," Lucina replied with a small giggle. She felt a surge of warmth run into her cheeks, but ignored it.

"Is it alright with you if we go for a walk?" Shulk asked suddenly.

"I'd love to," an eager Lucina said.

Shulk extended his hand out, and the blue-haired woman gingerly grabbed it. The two then began to explore the lush forest that they called home.

"What will we call this beautiful place?" Lucina asked.

"Hmm… how about the 'Garden of Eden'?" suggested Shulk. He didn't know why that idea stuck out in his mind, but he was alright with it. It had a nice poetic ring of it.

"I love it."

"Good. Oh, look up there!"

Lucina gasped at the sight before her. An image of a black-haired man wearing some fancy white outfit stood out against the clear blue sky. He looked like he was singing, but no noise came from him. At least, none that Lucina or Shulk could hear.

The pair then spotted a platinum blonde woman wearing a skimpy white dress and black high heels. Her hair seemed to be blowing through wind, yet it wasn't windy. She also looked like she was singing something. But again, nothing was actually audible to the ears.

Finally, another man appeared in the sky. He looked a bit younger than the first man, and his long hair was an uninteresting shade of brown. He had on a white outfit as well. His looked like a long, plain dress. Light surrounded his head, making him look angelic.

Elvis is my daddy.

Marilyn's my mother.

Jesus is my bestest friend.

We don't need nobody 'cause we got each other.

Or at least, I pretend.

Soft music began to play, surprising the couple. They stood there for a couple seconds to take it all in.

"Can I please… try something?" Shulk asked nervously.

Lucina nodded. "Of course."

Shulk placed his hands on her waist, and turned her around so that her back was now pressed into his chest. He then moved his hands down to her hips, and made her body move to the music's pace.

Lucina's cheeks turned red again, but she offered up no resistance to the dancing. Instead, her hands went on top of his, as if to keep them from moving. She felt content in that spot. She wondered if she could get lost in his touch. She was willing to test that theory out.

Dancin' and grindin' in the pale moonlight.

The music got softer, and then stopped a few minutes later.

"Come on, I want to see the Tree of Knowledge," Lucina said abruptly.

Before Shulk could respond, Lucina took off deeper in the forest. She still remembered what Naga had said about not eating fruit from that tree. But Naga hadn't said that looking at the majestic tree was unacceptable. Besides, it was a sight to see. It was large, and the fruit that adorned it look juicy and delicious

"Have one."

The strange new voice made Lucina jump. She scanned her immediate surroundings, but she saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"Over here!"

She looked back at the tree, and saw a skinny yellow snake wrapped comfortably around a thin branch. He had a grin on his face like he was up to no good. But Lucina didn't see it that way; she thought he looked friendly.

"Have one what?" she asked.

"An apple from the Tree of Knowledge," the snake answered.

Lucina shook her head. "I can't do that! Naga said not to."

"He only said that so you and Shulk wouldn't become as smart as him," the snake argued. He paused to inch closer to her. "One bite won't hurt a thing."

Lucina studied the tree carefully. The fruit looked delicious, and the snake had said that it would make her as smart as Naga- who wouldn't want that?

After a little more pondering, she plucked an apple out of the tree.

"No!" the first man exclaimed.

"Oh, no!" the woman cried dramatically.

"Don't do it!" the second man shouted.

But Lucina bit the apple anyways. As soon as she did, thunder hit the land. The sound startled her, but that feeling didn't last long.

Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind…

She suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Shulk ran over, shocked at what he saw. It didn't take long for him to realize what had happened. He swallowed hard.

"I might as well join her," he muttered under his breath.

The snake grinned with delight as Shulk pried the apple from Lucina's hand. He took a bite of it, and barely swallowed the sweet fruit when he collapsed to the ground beside his companion.

To say that Naga was angry at what they had done was an understatement. Her fury over their sin became so great that she casted Lucina and Shulk out of the Garden of Eden. She vowed to never let them come back. They didn't deserve to live in this heavenly paradise.

I sing the body electric, baby.

I sing the body electric, baby.

I sing the body electric, baby…

There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)

In case you're confused: Naga is God, Shulk is Adam, and Lucina is Eve. And YES, I know Shulk has a girlfriend in Xenoblade. But for the sake of this fanfic, he's with Lucina instead.

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for part 2! :D
