Chapter 1 - Some time off

Fayt was just to angry with him now, this time he had just gone to far. He trew all Albel's clothes on the ground. He pulled everything of Albel out of the closets he saw. Yelling and crying "I hate you!! How could you!!' whole the while. Fayt just couldn't stay there any longer the whole house just reminded him of his ebony haired lover.

He ran out of the house with all his clothes in his suitcase. He didn't even care about the rest of his stuff for it was also Albel's. He ran whole the way to 'Aquatic Gardens of Surferio' where he could be alone with his thoughts. He had to think about what he wanted. Just where could he go? The whole party resided on Elicoor II. Wich he was very grateful of. He could go talk to his friends whenever he wanted or needed it.

"I think I will go to Kirlsa first to see Mirage and Maria then go explore Greeton a bit." Saying his thoughts out loud. He needed a place where he could hide his stuff fot he didn't need it on his next travel, Just a bag big enough for supplies like in there last adventure. "I think I will just tell them the truth when they ask the reason of my sudden leave for an adventure on my own." He slowly stood to make the trip. Now he just hoped Albel wouldn't be at their other house in Kirlsa. He was suppose to be on his way to Airyglyph now, for his next mission. Wich was the reason why Fayt was so angry with him, thinking about it made the tears come back again. When he will be in Arias the rest of the trip will be simple. He could ask the soldier on the dragon in the Bequerel mountain just outside of town for a ride to Kirlsa.

Albel had allready left a few hours ago with his horse like animal. Fayt never really understood what it actually was. But now that Fayt was walking to Arias he just knew that Albel wouldn't be in Kirlsa anymore by the time he would get there. But still dragons are very fast and there are no obstacle in the air. "I will have to ask the dragon rider if he can keep an eye out for Albel."

The gates to Arias allready came into sight. That went fast Fayt thought to himself. "Must be because of thinking to much." He said to himself with a little smile on his face. Remembering that alot of people said that he thinks to much. Maybe will also drop by Cliff and Nel for something to drink and maybe eat if that was alright by them. Walking directly to the house just outside the mansion and hideout where Clair lives. Bringing his hand up to knock he quickly forced a smile to brace his face. But the door didn't open by the person he expected. "FAYT!! How have you been? I haven't see you for awhile" The young girl said flying through air to hug her friend. "Hey Peppita. I'm fine thank you, and with you what brings you here? I thought you were traveling with a few peole to dance around the country" Fayt said hugging his friend back. "Oh everything has just been great! I just came back here and wanted to go over to your place tomorrow. But what are you doing here whole by yourself?" He couldn't help but look a bit sad at that question. He knew people would ask about it. During there adventure everyone saw that Albel and he were most of time together everywhere they went. And when they started dating around the time they where on the 'Aquaelie' when they were on there way to moonbase, no one could even think of Fayt walking alone somewhere. Albel always getting jealous and glaring at people who would even much get close to Fayt. "Can we discus that inside please?" Fayt said looking to the ground. Peppita already knew enough by just the look on his face. She was a very smart girl when it got to things like these. "Ofcourse" she said with a sweet and warming smile on her face to comfort her friend a little.

Both stepping inside Cliff and Nel where to welcome Fayt. "Fayt my man how have you been" He asked happily giving Fayt a choking hug. "Aaagh..air" The choking teen managed to get out of his throat. "Oh sorry Fayt." The blond man laughed heartilly putting him down on his feet again. "Still with Albel are you?" Suddenly in a much lesser happier tone then before. Fayt knew Cliff never liked the idea of them together being, he just plainly hated Albel. "NO!!" Fayt blurted out angry. Shocked at what he just said putting his hands over his mouth, he just stood there with wide eyes. Tears trickling in his eyes ones again. Cliff just stared at him never expecting such a sudden outburst from Fayt, he was always so calm sure he could became angry like everyone else but always thought carefully before saying something. Putting an arm around his younger friends shoulders he let him to the couch cause Fayt's knees started to buckle why he almost sank on floor. Nel stood there shocked at what she just heared already walking over to the couch to comfort her blue haired friend. Fayt didn't knew that telling his friends about it would pain him so much. "Do you want something to drink" Nel asked putting on her big sister voice. That is what Fayt and Nel currently are for eachother he saw her as a big sister and Nel him as her little brother. "Yes please" came Fayt's weak sad voice.

When she came back Fayt started telling them why he came by and on what he was planning to do. "You sure about this? We can come with you if you want." Cliff asked worried that maybe his best friend will do something to hurt himself just to get away for awhile. "Thanks but I just need some time on my own, to think you know about what I really want. Also to think about why I started to go out with Albel again. How I look at our relationship right now it's just not good. We fight whole de time." Fayt slowly raising his voice as he told them more and more. "About what exactly?" Nel asked getting ahold of the glass in Fayt's hand. "Well I don't want him to go away whole the time. When he finish a mission he already got a new one. You it's not a problem if they put us both on a mission but, I don't know why but these last few weeks I get nothing at all. And have to wait for his return. I'm just sick of it. I'm not his wife or anything, we fight monsters together, go on missions, travel but now it seems like he doesn't want to do anything with me anymore" Resting his face in his hands now, all becoming to much now."Ok you know what? Just rest a little now and eat something then we will go with you to the gates of Greeton. Meanwhile I will call Mirage if she can come and take some stuff with her for your journey." Cliff said already on his way to the phone. "Ok" was all Fayt said taking a sip of the newly filled glass Nel got for him. Whole the while Peppita just sat there next to her sad friend holding on to his arm. "Fayt where is your sword? You need it to protect yourself." Nel asked him while putting his clothes away he didn't need in the closet. While Cliff called he and Nel decided to hide the clothes at their home cause he didn't had to go to Mirage anymore.

Then it struck him, sitting there just looking infront of him with wide eyes Nel already got her answer. "I take that as a no then." The redhead said walking towards the filled couch. "You want me to get it? You know I always was the second fastest from our team." He just wanted to get out of this continent so he didn't really had a choice. "Ok here is the key. It's next to my side of the bed against the wall. You know where our room is right?" Looking up at her with slight guilt in his emerald eyes, cause now she had to go get his weapon while he wanted to go away. "Yeah I know, and do you need something else wich will be important for your travel or did you bring everything you need? Beside your weapon." Saying the last part with an evil smirk on her face. Fayt couldn't help but laugh at that. "Alright, alright I know it was stupid to forget." Looking alot more at ease again. "Sorry it's just normally you wouldn't forget something that important." Putting her hands on her hips and leaning on her right leg. (Yup like a real sister alright) smiling to himself thinking about it. "Anyway I'll be on my way now so I can be back as soon as possible." With just a quick wave to everyone she went on her way.

Meanwhile Fayt, Cliff and Peppita just talked about what they have been doing. Although it was more meant for Peppita for Cliff and Fayt saw each other twice a week and called every so often. But Peppita have been away for 2 months dancing everywhere the Rosetti troupe came. She told how wonderful it was, she feld so free dancing in front of a big audience. Looking at all those happy faces made her feel complete, she feld like she was there on Elicoor to make people happy with dancing. And maybe eventually singing aswell. "But now that I came back I would like to know what you have been doing Cliff since Fayt already told us." Looking carefully at his face to make sure she didn't hurt her cerulean haired friend. But he just pouted to her, wich made her sure she didn't hurt his feelings and laughed lovingly to him. Now it was Cliff's turn to tell what he had been doing. The 2 listeners saw a slight blush creeping up the face of the mighty Klausian. "Well..." He started carefully. "I think I can tell you guys now Nel is away." Hearing this Fayt and Peppita couldn't help but get closer to him like they would hear it better that way. Just then when he opened his mouth to start the front door bursted open.

"HELLO EVERYONE!!!" came 3 girls in yelling at the same time. It was almost deafening so loud was it. "FAYT, CLIFF, PEPPITA how have you guys been?! Where is Nel?" Fayt expected Mirage and most likely Maria too but not Sophia aswell. Peppita jumped up to them and told them in light speed what she told Fayt and Cliff like 5 minutes ago. Cliff and Fayt just stared bewildered at the group of girls at how much noise they made and how fast they could talk. Until it all became silence again. The last thing both boys heard was Peppita telling them that Cliff was about to say something. Everyone just stared at Cliff, who didn't know what to say switching his eyes over to everyone in the room. Getting beat red by now he could only stutter some unintelligible words. "Come Cliff I know you can do it, and made we can even help." Fayt encouraging him softly. You could just see him discussing with himself in his head then making a decision. Standing up proud with a cool face he started again, now without stuttering. "I want to ask Nel to marry me." Fayt now smiling brilliantly at his friend from his place on the couch at this wonderful news, and the girls all started shrieking and yelling congratulations while hugging him. "That's great news Cliff." Fayt said now walking up to his best friend. "You already have the ring I presume" Now able to hug his friend now all the girls toke a step back.

"Yes I have and carry it around in my pocket incase she might find it. And to have it at hand at the right moment." Cliff got the little box out of his pocket to show the ring to his friends. Opening the box all the girls eyes began to glisten at how beautiful the ring sparkled. It was a beautiful silver ring with in the center a yellow diamond and 2 smaller side diamonds a matching pair of white natural diamonds. I asked Stanice, Balbados and Chilico to help me make it in the workshop in Peterney. "It is really beautiful Cliff. I hope someday I will get something that nice as well." Sophia said just moving her eyes in Fayt's direction, wich Maria noticed. She knew very well Sophia never got over the fact that Fayt dated Albel. After drinking and talking some more about why Fayt needed stuff from Mirage like the communicator and some hi-tech kinda bag were your could put more stuff in than it would seem, Cliff put the box safely back in his pocket. Luckily he was just in time for not later Nel already came trough the door sword in hand still panting from her long run. "Nel you found it and were realy quick indeed" Fayt got up from the table were the group went to sit to walk over to Nel. "Ofcourse it was easy." Handing over the sword.

"Fayt I have been thinking while getting your sword and you can't go alone. It's just to dangerous, I know you also know how to heal but has you told me these last few weeks you haven't gone on a mission or anything like it. And even though you know how to heal you still can't heal major injuries, so you can choose who will go with you or we will all go with you." Nel explained to him with such a serious face that it gave Fayt a cold rilling over his back. But after everything she had said he knew all to well that it was all true. Ok so he could choose from Sophia wich he didn't want with him alone anymore cause well she was just anoying, and tried to flirt with him whenever she got the chance. Adray who was nice and all but overreacted alot and was quite hyper, and maybe even take new partymembers just because he likes the people we will met. Peppita could heal alright but it had to be dance she couldn't do a normal healing spell. Then the last 1 was Nel herself and is also a good fighter she would be perfect, but with her Cliff will join automaticly especially since now he was going to ask her to marry him. Now he thought of it he wouldn't actually mind them to come along, he decided. "I actually want everyone to come with me, it will be safer and don't have to be alert whole the time what will give me time to think." Nel smiled at this, she was happy he understood the situation he was going to trow himself into.

Everyone stood up and walked up to Fayt with smiles on there faces, they all wanted to join there friend and got ready for there new adventure. Sophia blushed at what she just heared, she was going to be on an adventure with Fayt again. Even thou she still stood in the background Maria glanced back and saw that blush again, she had to watch her on there next journey to prefend her from falling for fayt again before she would get hurt again. Maria knew she didn't stand a chance and heard from Mirage the reason what Fayt had to think about when Cliff called, that was a little before Sophia came so she didn't hear it. But even if she heard it she would still try to steal Fayt's heart. (I have to talk to her when we will set camp somewhere and see her flirt.)

"Ok so who will inform who? Most of us is already here and everyone got a communicator before we split up." Mirage said to the group so the plan could get into motion. "All who are left are Adray and Roger. Peppita you get Roger with 1 of the air dragons from Bequerel Mountain Path and Nel can you get Adray on another dragon then both head to Peterney? We'll be there getting ready " She always want things to go orderly "Fine by me." Nel spoke already walking to the door followed by a jumping Peppita. "You can cound on me" said the young dancer jumping after Nel through the door. "Now all we have to do is get supply's as fast as possible" Mirage said taking the role as leader and walked outside with Maria not far behind her. "Have you noticed how Sophia acted?" Maria asked Mirage just loud enough for only her to hear. "Yeah we have to watch her, not only for her shake but Fayt's to. He is a bit depressed now so maybe he will do things he will regret later, just to take his mind of off Albel." Ofcourse Mirage noticed everything it was her who taught Maria everything she knows. "Ok, we shouldn't tell anyone else right? Maybe only Nel cause I think she will see soon enough if she already hasn't. I even think Peppita knows the situation all to well." Maria said while thinking that Peppita does notice alot of things when it came to this. "True I think she already knows aswell. Good thing Fayt is quite dense, Albel even had to do his best to get Fayt." The blonde now smirking at the memorie when Albel actually came to her for advice and if she could find out how Fayt feld about him.

They group was just outside of Arias when Mirage and Maria were still talking, they could talk a bit louder now cause Fayt, Cliff and Sophia were walking like 6 meters behind them and Sophia was talking so loud that it looked like she was standing behind the 2 girls. "You know I don't really get why the fight got so bad that Fayt actually ran away. Just think of everything they had go through, Albel had actually fallen in love." Maria asked not helping but to wonder why. "Well I think there is more to it, i met Albel occasionally when he came through Kirlsa or came by Woltar. He seemed more nervous then before, I think he had something on his mind or was going to do a daring thing. Maybe something like Cliff." Now looking at the blue haired girl with a small telling glint in her eyes. Then it struck her. "He was going to ask him to marry him?!" raising her voice a bit to much. Quickly looking behind she saw no one heard, luckily for them Sophia was still talking about everything she had done after the fight with Luther. Even thou it had only been 4 months. Quickly continuing their conversation "Then why didn't you talk him out of this adventure idea of his." looking at Mirage with disbelieve. "I think this will make there love stronger, after this and they marry they will never seperate from each other" Mirage explained with confidence. Maria thought about it a little and had to agree with her, she was just always right. Pouting at this thought.

Not to far behind. (It's really nice of her to tell me everything she did, but does she really have to tell me well she took her baths?) Luckily for him it was only 4 months so she couldn't continue forever, right? After a walk of 15 minutes they reached the South gate of Peterney. It had only been 2 hours since Fayt came running trough here but it seemed like days, cause didn't pay attention to anything was he just feeling to sad to do that. A tug at his arm woke him out of his thoughts when he looked to see the cause it was Sophia looking up at him. "Come on Fayt we have to get supply's so we can go as soon as possible." smiling softly up at him with her eyes closed. She could be really nice but he knew just how she was most of the time. And well he liked her as a good friend but nothing beyond, he just didn't like her that way. Everyone went to shop together incase someone would forget something. After 20 minutes of shopping they went for the Gate to Greeton where they could see the rest of there party waiting for their arrival.

Peppita was the first to notice them cause she had been looking around her for anything familiar. "Their here!!!" Peppita said happily jumping in the air already lunging at them with an even as happy little Menodix and older Elicoorian not to far behind her. Roger came flying in Fayt's arms so happy was he to see him. Roger always had loved Fayt but in a manly way ofcourse, not love like how he liked the Valbaysian dancer. For the last time going trough the supply's they just got Nel went for the guard to open the gate. "Open the gate please we would like to pass" "Ofcourse Lady Nel." And the guard went to open the door. The moment was there to finally see what is behind those ever closed gates. The party went forward and looked around there was a wide green field to be seen and a forest nearby, it was mostly the same as Aquaria up till now but hey we just got here you can't expect there to be something totally different so close to this area. "Well we're here now, we can't go back till we have seen some more of this land." Fayt said walking infront of everyone. "Time to go!!" And they set of, of on a new adventure.
