Well, here goes my second Abyss oneshot! It's more of a drabble, but I thought of this while at Gamestop, browsing through what used Tales games they had...
Anyways, I don't own anything concerning Abyss except my own hard copy! If I did own it, honestly, we'd have an anime in English.
"I'm completely serious!"
"So what? Just because that's true doesn't make me-"
"Hey, Luke, you brought this on yourself!"
"HOW?!"
From the other side of the shop, Guy sighed and wondered why Luke and Anise had decided to shatter the tranquility of Grand Chokmah with their squabbling. Even this long after the events of Akzeriuth, Anise and Luke still bickered often over petty things, though fortunately the worst was hopefully behind them. Still, when they went at it, they were worse than toddlers dueling each other with plastic swords over the last cookie.
Sighing again in a long-suffering fashion, Guy replaced the miraculous piece of fontech he'd been inspecting and walked over to the store counter, where Luke and Anise were glaring daggers at each other and the shopkeeper was huddling behind the counter in fear.
"What's going on, guys?" Guy inquired. Maybe he could help solve their little predicament...
Though upon explanation, Guy just couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Luke's temper matched his fiery red hair as he turned to Guy, huffed to calm himself a little, and explained. "So, since we're usually on the Albiore for long times between going from place to place, I figured I'd go ahead and buy a few of these video games That just came out." He held up a rectangular, plastic case, and Guy barely made out the words Tales of Symphonia before Luke furiously slammed it on the counter, thankfully not shattering the glass. "But apparently the game is rated T for Teen, and Anise just so happened to blab to this poor guy that I'm a replica, and I'm only seven!"
Anise stepped in at this point to defend herself. "Well, it's a fact, Luke." She smirked devilishly at the replica, enjoying every moment of this. "And it's illegal for a kid to buy a game with that high of a rating."
"But I'm a teenager-"
"You're a little squirt in a man's body!"
Guy eyed the shopkeeper dubiously, so the man settled his thought by saying, "Well, she's right. If he really is seven, then I can't sell him this."
Guy eyed his friend, sighed for the third time, and placed his own gald on the counter for the game, blatantly ignoring Luke trying to use Mieu Fire on Anise's hair.
Why did he always feel like the doting parent of their group of misfits?
