Everybody's doing it. So why don't I? 'kay let's go! (I ate too much sugar)

It was a normal day, nothing to do, just a boring day. There on the bed was a girl about 16 years old (not my real age… yet), she had dark brown hair with dark brow eyes to match. Her name was Rin, yes, the girl who has no life was there. Rin was about to play her Gamecube, since there was nothing to do. Rin saw that the Tales of Symphonia instruction booklet was on the floor so she went to pick it up. She looked at the first page which said: "WARNING! User may be sucked through Gamecube and deposited on the other side!"

"That wasn't there before… oh well!" She looked at the booklet again this time it said, "You have been warned!"

"… Scary…" Rin said as she turned to her TV. "I'm almost done! Woo Hoo! This'll be the… 11th time! Yay!" (Just like I said before, I have no life) "Okay, all I have to do is release all the seals, go to Colette's fake daddy, kill him, then fight Kratos and Yggdrassill, steal the rheiards, crash at Mt. Fooji, ah… and do some other stuff… YAY!" (I also talk to myself a lot…really, I do)

Suddenly her Gamecube turned off. "NOOOO! I didn't save! Whaaa!" Then it came back to life. "Yay!" Then died again. "Whaaa!" Then alive again. "Yay!" Then it started to smoke. "AHHH! Fire! Fire! … wait there's no fire… I must touch Gamecube…" Rin said as she stood up. The very second she touched the Gamecube the disk thingy popped open. "AHH! … oh … I thought it was going to attack me, ha ha…"

She started to move for the disk to see if it was damaged when she got sucked in the game. The scenery around her when she was being sucked in was a black and white swirl, and then the whole thing started to tear (like you tear a piece of paper)

"There's no place like home, There's no place like home." Rin opened her eyes to see what was going on, she felt sick. "I'm gonna throw up, I'm gonna throw up…" Then suddenly, she hit the ground… hard. "Ouch!" It took a minute to get familiar with her surroundings, she knew this place. "Am I at the…Ossa Trail?" She brushed herself off. Since she beat the game ten times already, she knew where to go, and if the Tales of Symphonia characters had minds of their own, they would find her. She then found the beginning of the trail and waited.

She took this opportunity to gather what just happened. "'Kay… let's see. Gamecube fizzles, I touch disk, I hit the ground… hard, and now I'm waiting for game characters that are lost without me… I think…but it all seems so real…"

Rin picked up some grass and felt it in her hand, then she put some in her mouth. "Feels and tastes real… hmm…" But in the process of grabbing the grass she accidentally touched the bright red switch and fell though the hole. "Ouch!" The trap door was still open and she thought about climbing out, but a squirrel jumped from a tree and landed on the switch causing the door to close. "I HATE SQUIRRELS…" she said. She started to hear voices outside. It's them! Rin thought.

"Is the Chosen of Mana among you?" Rin heard Sheena say.

"Oh, that would be me." Colette said.

"Prepare to die!" Sheena said. Rin heard Sheena running to Colette. "This isn't good…" Rin said as she looked where she was standing, she was gonna get squished!

"Ahhhhh!" Rin looked up, she saw Sheena falling. Sheena fell with a loud THUD! "M-My… back…" Rin said in pain.

"Ugh… Huh? Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean for me to land on you…" Sheena said to her.

"C-Can you do me a f-favor?"

"Y-Yes?"

"Can you… G-Get off my poor back?"

Sheena looked where she landed, she was sitting on top of Rin. Sheena stood up and helped Rin to her feet. She then realized that Rin's clothing was very strange. "Huh? What are you looking at?" Rin asked Sheena who was looking at her outfit.

"Umm… What's with the get-up?" Sheena finally asked.

Rin looked at herself, she was still in her pajamas! She stuck out like a blue thumb (Cookie Monster pajamas, my favorite) "Crap." She said. "What's that blue thing on your shirt?" Sheena asked.

"DON"T QUESTION THE COOKIE MONSTER!" Rin yelled to Sheena. "Oh… Sorry…"

Even some of the monsters looked at them, then ran in the opposite direction.

"Look, I'm really sorry for landing on you, but I have some things to attend to." Sheena said starting to make her way out.

"Yeah, I know, killing the Chosen is hard work. Next time, be careful." Rin said to her.

"He-Hey! I didn't tell you that!"

"Oh… snap… I'm just… a-a psychic… yeah…" Rin said trying to make an excuse. "Sheena, you can leave now…"

"How did you- Oh… yeah the psychic thing… Well, let's meet again. I have to thank you for softening my fall. By the way, what's your name?"

"Umm… my name is Rin…"

"Okay, let's meet again."

"Not the same way I hope." Rin said putting a hand on her back.

Sheena started running to the exit while Rin was trying to find a weapon to defend herself with. Rin was walking around, her eyes glued to the floor, when being the klutz that she is (or I am) she ran into the Elite from the Underworld.

"Who dares awaken the Elite from the Underworld?" said the floating skull.

"It was… that piece of dirt!" Rin said trying to place the blame on someone (or something) else.

"Then I will vanquish you!" said the skull taking its weapons out.

"…" Rin stared at the skull emerge from the ground. It came complete with four arms, legs, horns (on the head) and…swords…really pointy swords.

I never realized he was THIS big… I'd better run as fast as I can… (run for dear life is more like it) Rin slowly crept away from the skeleton who was beating up the poor piece of dirt… (I almost feel sorry for it) She managed to get away but kept running because she knew that Sheena would have lost already. She saw the light and ran to it (this is the ONLY time I suggest you run into the light) She caught them just in time, Raine had just finished saying, "Those clothes…"

"WAIT! (gasp) STOP… (wheeze)" Rin yelled at them, she wanted to know what was going on. Why she was sucked into the Gamecube. She wanted to know why the Elite from the Underworld is so temperamental after his nap. So many questions left unanswered.

"Those clothes? What about her's?" Lloyd asked Raine.

"L-lemme catch my-my breath…" Rin ran as fast as she could to get away from the Elite (I'm just gonna call him Elite, it wastes so much time typing Elite from the Underworld… I'm lazy)

"Is that blue thing a emblem or something. 'Cause I haven't seen anything like it." Genis said pointing to the Cookie Monster on Rin's shirt. That comment made Rin angry.

"Hmm… those ARE strange clothes… It could be an ancient god worshiped by a civilization that was wiped out long ago…" Raine said. Ancient god? You're not serious… Rin was sure that they could see steam from her ears. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, says that about the Cookie Monster! She was full to bursting.

"What's wrong with its eyes?" Colette said innocently.

"GRRRrrrrrrr… Deep breaths… calm quite spaces…" Rin said trying to calm herself.

"Who are you? And what business do you have here?" Kratos asked Rin.

"Ummm…" Rin couldn't just tell them, "Hey, I just came from another world where you guys don't really exist, and where we actually have technology instead of magitechnology, and our hair doesn't defy gravity Lloyd."

"I… I'm Rin… M-My family has always worshiped the chosen and it has been my dream to accompany her on her journey… heh he…"

"Wow! That's cool! As far as I'm concerned, you welcome on this journey." Colette said with a smile.

"Humph… Well, can you defend yourself?" Kratos asked.

"Yes… I think I'm pretty good, defense wise…" Rin said. She smiled to herself and thought, Heh, they don't know that I'm a red belt two stripes in Tae Kwon Do… This is gonna be good! (I was one stripe away from becoming a black belt, but then they put this boot camp thing where you had to do boot camp to be a black belt and that's when I had it! I other words, I quit…)

"We'll see… Lloyd, get your wooden swords and fight her." Kratos commanded

"What! I barely know her!" Lloyd protested.

"Do it!"

"Geez Kratos, you don't have to be so mean to your son- I mean look at the sun it's so shinny! You can just feel that vitamin D… heh he… Look! A unicorn! Heh he…"

"Where!" Colette asked looking in the direction Rin pointed to.

"Ooooooooooookay." Lloyd said getting his swords. "I'll go easy on you… okay?"

"HA HA! Don't hold back Lloyd!" Rin said smiling from ear to ear.

"Ready, BEGIN!" Kratos announced.

The two ran for each other (I was tempted to put, they ran for each other and kissed passionately), Lloyd with his swords and Rin with her… hands and feet I guess… "I'm sorry if I hurt you." Rin warned Lloyd.

"Don't worry, you won't hurt me at all." Lloyd replied back to her.

"Why? Because I'm a girl?"

"N-No… Not that… you just don't look very strong…"

"Well, my friends don't call me Wonder Woman for nothing!" Rin said as she landed a punch right in Lloyd's face. Lloyd fell backwards and then got up.

"Ouch! That hurt!"

Colette and Genis started laughing and they both said in unison, "Your nose is swollen!"

"SHUT UP! You guys are mean!" Lloyd said rubbing his nose.

"She socked you good Lloyd!" Genis said.

"Grrrr!" Lloyd growled at Genis.

"Hmm… let's make this a little more interesting… Rin, catch." Kratos said throwing a dagger that was hidden under his belt thingy. Rin didn't know that he had a dagger under his belt, and she almost sliced her hand trying to catch it. But she managed to catch it… somehow…

"Cool!" Rin said looking at the sharp blade.

"Hey! That's not fair! Why does she get to use a real weapon and I have to use wooden swords!" Lloyd argued.

"Because you need more training and I was getting bored…"

"Lloyd, you better focus on the battle… or do you want me to cut off your hair?" Rin said obviously bored.

Lloyd didn't say anything, he just ran right to her. Rin, on the other hand just stood there… waiting for him to reach her. When Lloyd came within an arms reach of her she started flinging the dagger at him. He jumped back, so he wouldn't get hit and then she threw her dagger right at him. Lloyd stumbled out of the way and said, "Hah! You lost your weapon!"

Rin simply replied, "No I didn't!" Then she ran to him and landed a roundhouse kick on his temple.

They both cried in pain. "Ouch! Lloyd! You have a hard head!" Rin yelled as she sat down and grabbed her foot (she had no shoes on) "Ouch, that hurt!" Lloyd said grabbing his head in pain.

"I think you passed…" Kratos said to her.

Raine healed them and they began their journey with a very strange companion.

"Let me introduce-" Colette was cut off by Rin who started naming all of them.

"You are Colette Brunel, the chosen that will save the world. You are Raine and Genis Sage, two elves from Iselia. You are Lloyd Irving, a swordsman raised by a dwarf. And you are Kratos Aurion, a mercenary who has a checkered past… am I missing anybody?"

They were in shock, they just met her and yet she knew all of their names. "H-How did you-" Raine began.

"Well, I'm… I guess a psychic…" Rin couldn't help but smile.

"Well then, shall we continue to Izlood? So we can go to Palmacosta." Kratos said.

"Okay!" Said Genis, Colette, Lloyd, and Rin in unison. (Rin in, it rhymes!) Rin picked up the dagger and asked the group, " Umm… can I get some new clothes first? People will stare…"

"Yes, let's make that priority number one…" Raine said to her.

And so they marched on to Izlood, not knowing what will happen… (well, I know what'll happen…)
