Disclaimer: I don't own Star Ocean: Till the End of Time nor do I own the characters. And blah de blah. On with the story!
It has been two years since the defeat of Luther, the Creator. Everyone thought of Fayt and his friends as heroes. They were famous thought the plants. However, Sophia herself could care less. Sometime after the defeat of Luther, she realized she had a crush on 'Albel the Wicked'. Since then, they have been "going out" or as Maria would put it 'one step closer to getting into Albel's pants'. Sophia, of course, would yell at her for assuming such a thing. However, she often caught herself thinking about it and blush.
Albel, on the other hand, had not changed much from two years ago. He's still the same blood-thristy Albel the Wicked. Except, now he's dating Sophia. Which Cliff and Fayt often tease him about. He however ignores them. Sometimes he hates it when she talks all sweet to him in front of them - no - in public period. However, he tries to ignore it by saying "What is it, worm?" Of course, she just smiles and giggles saying, "Aww! You're so cute, Albel-sama!" and then hugs him. He hates it when she calls him that, however, he can never bring himself to say anything, for some reason. He often catches Cliff spying on them and chases after him. He also finds himself going to Maria for help, however, he always says, "If you tell ANYONE this, I'll kill you, worm." She just smirks and says, "Sure, I know. Whatever."
Since Luther's defeat, Lieber and Maria started dating, and Maria fell in love with him. Soon after, they were engaged and moved to Earth. Fayt decided to stay with Nel on Elicoor II and fell in love with her soon afterwards. As for Cliff, he and Mirage have been engaged for quite some time. Mirage soon after the engagement, got pregnant. They then moved back to the Klausion world. Albel and Sophia on the other hand, moved to the Plant Expel. Sophia had never been there before, and Albel well...she basically dragged him there. Well, really, she had give him the puppy dog eyes. When he had ignored that, she pulled his hair and threatened to cut it off (even though she would never do that - seeing as she thinks it's so cute) and it worked. He gave up saying he'd go. Of course, he KNEW he'd regret it later.
One year later
It was an ordinary Friday morning. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping...and Albel Nox was snoring as he often does. Sophia sighed. "Sometimes I think I should use ear plugs..." her thoughts were soon cut off by the phone ringing. She ran to pick it up before it woke up Albel. "Hello?" "Maria! How are you? What's up?" Maria chuckled. "Fine, as always. However I do have good news.." "Oh yeah? What's that?" Sophia asked.
"I'm pregnant!" Sophia was shocked, happy but shocked. "Oh my gosh! Really? I bet Lieber's thrilled..." Maria laughed. "Oh, he's more than thrilled. He already has some names picked out! He's even wanting to buy baby clothes and we don't even know the gender yet!" She sighs then chuckles. "Well, that's Lieber for you.." They giggled. "How are you and Albel? Doing good, I hope."
"Yeah, we're doing great! We're having lots of fun!" Maria laughed. "I didn't ask how your sexual life with him was." Sophia blushed. "Maria! That's not what I meant and you know it!" Maria couldn't stop laughing. "Sure, sure. Anyway, can me and Lieber come there to visit and stay for the weekend?" "Of course! You're always welcome!" Maria smiled. "I'm glad! We'll start packing right away! We'll see you both soon, bye!" "Bye!" Sophia then put the phone up. "Maybe I should wake Albel up.."
She walked towards the bed not realizing it was empty. "Albel! It's time to..." She looked at the bed and saw nobody there. "Wh-what...?" Suddenly, she felt someone grab her shoulder. Not wanting to look the person in the eyes, whomever the stranger might be, she threw him over her shoulder. "Hah! I didn't take a year of Karate classes for nothing! ...what!" She looked down on the floor, to see the person she had thrown over her shoulder, when she saw none other than Albel himself. "ALBEL NOX!" She yelled as ge was picking himself up off the floor. She walked up to him and slapped him. Hard. "What the hell was THAT for, worm!" Sophia glared at him. "You know what for! Why did you scare me like that!"
Albel rubbed his cheek, which was now red. "Fool. I was not trying to 'scare' you. I was merely going to ask who it was on the phone, that is all." Sophia's face was turning so red from being angry, it was almost scary. Even for Albel. "Grr.. sometimes Albel, I don't know what to do with you.." Albel grinned. "Hmph, if we are done with this petty arguement, I would like an answer to my question."
Sophia shot him a look. "We are FAR from done, Albel Nox! Why I'd.." she was then cut off by Albel kissing her. After the short but sweet kiss, Sophia looked at Albel. "Don't think you can shut me up with that everytime!" she then smiled. Albel smirked. "Hmph! Whatever, fool." he starts to walk out the door when Sophia stops him. "Oh, I forgot! Lieber and Maria are coming to stay for the weekend."
Albel nodded. "Hmph, I will go get extra supplies, then." he starts to walk out again but Sophia steps in front of him. "Wait..." she then throws her arms around him, hugging him. Oddly enough, for the first time, Albel hugs her back, smiling. "I will be back later." Sophia nods. "Okay, I'll take care of things here!" she then kisses him on the cheek before he walked out the door.
Albel started walking towards the store. "It'll be Valentine's Day this Sunday. I will have to ask that blue-haired maggot Maria for help, I suppose..."
"Hey! Will you hurry up!" Maria shouted across the hall. Lieber looked at her. "Alright already!" Maria shook her head. "Sometimes I don't know what to do with you..." Lieber smirked. "I can think of a few things." Mirage hit him on the arm. "Lieber! You know what the doctor said!" Lieber pouted. "I know, I know!" Cliff ran up towards Mirage. "Everything okay?" Mirage nodded. "Yes, let us go."
Soon they were at the space station. "The ship heading towards the Plant Expel leaves in 10 minutes."
Maria smirked. "Made it! Just in time. Let's go guys!" Liber and Cliff carried the luggage while the girls ran on ahead to save them seats. "Man, this blows!" Cliff kicked Lieber. "Stop complaining or they'll leave us behind!"
Sophia was home, making lunch for everyone when they got here. "Huh..wonder why Albel isn't back yet...I'm worried."
Little did Sophia know, he was out shopping. Trying to find her a Valentine's Day gift. However, he wasn't having much luck. "Stupid holiday. Hmph! Like the maggot deserves it anyway..."
He was walking, lost in thought, when he bumped into someone. "Watch where you're going, fool!" "Yeah? I could say the same to.." the stranger was cut off by a girl running towards him. "Cliff! Are you alright?" Albel looked up to see Mirage standing over Cliff. "What are you fools doing here!" Maria walked over, as did Lieber.
"Guess the surprise is ruined!" Albel looked confused. "What are you talking about, worm?" Cliff sighed. "Maria invited me and Mirage to come along. It was to be a surprise.." Albel made a 'hmph' sound. "I see..."
Maria smiled. "Well then, why are you out here?" "That worm told me to get some extra food..." Mirage looked at him, confused. "I didn't know flowers were considered 'food'..." she said, pointing to the flowers in Albel's bag. He glared at her, however, Cliff was laughing. "Oh! The flowers are for your sweetie, right? It is Valentine's Day this Sunday, afterall..." Maria smirked. "So that's what they were for!"
Albel pulled out his sword. "How do you maggots want to die?" Cliff gulped. "I don't wanna die..thanks!" and he ran. Of course, Albel was in hot pursuit of him, hacking and slashing everything in his way. Lieber, however, was freaking out about the whole thing. And somehow got into that mess as well.
Maria and Mirage sighed. "This is going to be a long day..."
