Disclaimer: Phantasy Star is copyright of SEGA and...blah blah blah, yakety smackety and so forth. Oh, by the way, if you fell the need to sue; well you ain't getting' a dime from me cause I'm broke! HAHAHAHA..(cough)..HAHAHAHAHA! Now on with the show!
Note: This fic is based off the classic RPG Phantasy Star 3. For those who played the game, you know that whoever you choose to be your main character's bride will affect who you play as next. Well. This fic will delve in to the thoughts and minds of each woman spurned at each decision time. This fic may confuse those not familiar with this specific game. Also I still need to finish a few scenarios so this fic will not be complete anytime soon. Since the game does not give descriptive accounts of each character , I will take some liberties defining each character. This is something I'm doing in order to get my creative juices flowing again. It will be multi-chapter. So please sit back, grab something to drink and enjoy the show!

Chapter 1: For All I've Done for You / Lena
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Why? Why couldn't you love me like the way you love her? Why can't I take Maia's place at the alter right by you?"
"Is it because I'm not feminine enough? Is it because I seem tomboyish because I can fight as well as you? Wait, I know what it is..."
"She came first."
"That's right, the helpless maiden who washed up on a shore not knowing who the hell she was or where the hell she came from. The next thing everyone knew, you were getting hitched to her. For god's sake, she is a member of Laya's clan who we are sworn enemies of! Here I am, Princess of Satera, and a member of the clan of Orakio like you!"
"Tell me Rhys; tell me why is she so special!? Her beauty is undeniable but she seems so...so...helpless! She was kidnapped the first time you two were supposed to be married. She didn't even put up a fight to save herself! Yet you willingly risked your neck to save her!"
"I can take some of the blame for what has happened. I initially came to Landen to relax and to visit you. At the time I considered you somewhat as a friend and had no real emotional attachment. When I heard what happened and you being tossed into prison for freaking out by the king, I decided to give you a hand. I remembered an old passage that led to the holding cells (something I remembered from playing in Landen as a child). When I first saw you as a man...well I was taken aback in surprise even though I tried to suppress it. You were more of a man than I thought you were. I watched you pace back and forth in your cell with a certain amount of pity. When I released you, I decided to leave you as is and stay in Landen while you fled. While you were gone I thought about you, and yes, began falling in love with you."
'That's when I decided to search for you. I won't recount what happened to me since that is a story for another day. When we finally met up again, I was so happy to see you again. My love for you only grew as we traveled to help save Maia. Then it hit me, why should I even try to save her? Apparently she is a rival for your love. Then I thought that you were doing this because of your sense of justice. Oh how a fool I was. After we defeated the king of Cille and rescued Maia. He offered her hand to you right there. I couldn't take it any longer. I had to declare my love for you as well. When I did, you walked right up to me and smiled. I was thinking, "Yes! You chose me!". Then my world was shattered as you said that you cared for me...only as a friend. I wanted to die right there and I didn't care how. I just wanted to die seeing you declare her love for you."
'Well I didn't die. I am here watching you marry off to your love and all I can think about is three little yet powerful words"
"...I"
"...Hate "
"...YOU!"
"I hate you...I hate you...I hate you! You left me hanging all this time like a selfish jerk while I...No, I don't hate you at all. I still love you and always will. I hate myself for not showing that I loved you sooner. I will always be there if you need me. I truly hope that you too will be happy together. Knowing that you are happy gives me the strength to go on. Maybe one day I'll find my happiness too."

End notes: Wow! This came out better than I expected! Like I said before, I'm taking liberties when writing this since there is very little to work on given the lack of personality some characters have. Next on my agenda will be the other first generation girl, Maia, and her thoughts on what would happen if her knight in shining armor decided to marry Lena instead. By the way; when I mentioned Lena being a princess, well I think it's quite possible. Remember when the king of Cille said that if Rhys married Lena then Rhys would be king of both Landen AND Satera? Just something for you to ponder.
All reviews welcome but flaming should be kept to a minimum. I prefer "constructive criticism" better.
