Hey, Shdwj here. I must apologize for my past story, I just wasn't (fixed the was error there) ready or prepared, so I didn't know what would happen next. Well anyway, here you go!

"I really, really hope she'll be there…" The well dressed swordsman thought as he ran through an alley in the cold city of Flanoir. Today was a special day, one that only comes once a year, Valentines Day, and apparently there was a special celebration just for this specific holiday being held at the Flanoir hotel. At least it was large enough to hold a party. Lloyd wasn't usually the kind of person that gets excited over a holiday like this, but something…. someone made it different this year. In Lloyd's coat pocket was a rose with a letter tied to its stem, just for Sheena. He was trying to protect it from getting exposed to the snow by keeping it in his coat pocket at all times.

"Why does it always have to snow here?" Lloyd thought. It snowed in Flanoir most of the year, but what could he do about it. Lloyd really hoped though that someone special would be there, someone he hasn't seen in a few months. Sheena. They've already been seeing each other, but the opportunity to see her was getting thinner and thinner, since she had a lot of important business she had to take care of in Mizuho. Even through the freezing snow, Lloyd was already smiling, imagining that he was already with her in front of a fireplace and Sheena resting her head on Lloyd's shoulder. He hoped desperately that she would be there. He loved her so much.

Then, in the distance, he saw the hotel. Lloyd was relieved that he didn't have to walk through the snow anymore. He walked towards the building, grabbed the handle rail, and ran up the stairs. When Lloyd arrived in front of the entrance door, he quickly checked to make sure that the rose in his black tuxedo was still inside his pocket and well hid. He wanted to surprise Sheena. Lloyd brushed the snow off of his clothes, turned the doorknob and opened the door. Lloyd looked around and saw all the people who came for the evening party. Though there was a bunch of people, he didn't see any of his friends in the large group of people. Lloyd was guaranteed that Raine and Genis would be here though, he even remembered what Genis said when Lloyd asked him if he was going to the party.

"Of course I'll be there Lloyd, I can't miss you being rejected by Sheena!" Genis laughed. But the result from the joke was not laughter from Lloyd, but rather an extremely painful smack on the back of the head.

"Ow!! Lloyd! I was kidding!" Genis yelled, putting his hand on the area where Lloyd smacked him. Lloyd was really upset at Genis for joking around like that. Lloyd liked jokes, but not jokes that joked about Sheena.

"Genis that's not funny! Sheena and I are really close now! There's no way she would reject me, and there's no way I would reject her." Lloyd said in confidence. Genis looked at him, seeing Lloyd's angry eyes. Genis knew Lloyd was serious about this.

"Ok, ok, I'll stop." Genis told him. Lloyd calmed down, then pretended he was about to smack Genis again and watched him duck and cover his head. Lloyd laughed, but Genis didn't. They then went their way, talking about random things.

Lloyd continued to look around the hotel, hoping that he would see at least one of his group members. After a few minutes of looking around the crowded hotel, he saw the redheaded swordsman Zelos. Lloyd walked up to him and waited for him to turn around. The wait took forever though, because he just couldn't stop flirting for some strange reason, that's how Zelos was. Losing his patience, he tapped Zelos on the shoulder, and Zelos quickly turned around.

"Lloyd! Long time no see! Happy Valentines Day!" He greeted Lloyd, holding his beverage in one hand.

"Happy Valentines to you too Zelos."

Lloyd was in a hurry to see Sheena, but Zelos started to talk. Lloyd only had one question on his mind that he wanted to ask Zelos, but Zelos wouldn't stop talking and blabbering about random things. He stopped Zelos in the middle of one of his sentences and asked, "Have you seen Sheena anywhere?"

Zelos smiled and gently elbowed Lloyd on the arm. He knew what was going on. "Aww…you two have been dating, haven't you?" Lloyd was getting kind of annoyed with Zelos, so he asked again.

"Have you seen her?"

"Yeah, I think she's upstairs somewhere."

"Thanks." Lloyd told him glad that Zelos told him something he wanted to hear. He turned around and looked for the stairs that led to the upper floor, but before he found it, he ran into another close friend.

"Hi Lloyd! Happy Valentines Day!" The sweet blonde headed girl told him. Lloyd smiled and was happy to see her.

"Hi Colette!" Lloyd remarked.

The two of them chatted for a while, and talked about different things. Lloyd wanted to end the conversation though, but he couldn't. Colette seemed to enjoy talking to him. It was easy to make Zelos stop talking...the group used to do it all the time. But he couldn't do that to one of his best friends. And even though they lived close to each other, they didn't really see each other a lot, so it didn't really hurt to talk to her. Then something caught Colette's eye. "Lloyd! That's such a pretty flower!" She exclaimed.

Lloyd gulped deeply, and hoped that the flower she was talking about was a flower in a vase ontop of a counter, but his hope of that was drained. Lloyd looked at his coat pocket, and sadly….the rose for Sheena was sticking out of his pocket. He thought quickly and said, "Uh…actually…" But right when Lloyd said those words, Colette's bright smile turned into a gloomy frown. Lloyd felt bad, he really didn't want to hurt Colette's feelings, I mean after all, and they've been best friends forever. Lloyd didn't want to offend Sheena or Colette. He was too soft-hearted to make two of his friends sad.

"But wait, a girlfriend is supposed to come before a best friend…right?" Lloyd thought to himself. When it came to romantic things, he didn't know much about it. "But I can still give the flower to Colette so she won't be sad, and I can give the letter to Sheena!" Lloyd didn't think it was a bad idea, but still not sure if it was a good idea. Lloyd wasn't really sure what to do. But it wasn't really much of a situation, all he had to do was take out the flower, untie it from the stem, and give the flower to Colette and the note to Sheena. "Why does Colette have to like flowers so much...? She's like a little kid!" He thought to himself.

"….Uh…you can have it!" Lloyd told her. Colette's frown turned into a smile, and Lloyd took out the rose and tried to remove the letter that was tied to it. But Colette was so glad, she immediately took the flower from Lloyd's hand. Lloyd gasped and tried to take the flower back, but Colette moved it away from him. She smiled sweetly at Lloyd, and started to speak.

"Thank you Lloyd, this is the best gift anyone has given me on Valentines Day." Colette then started to walk off, and Lloyd tried to tell her that the note wasn't for her, but the crowd was too loud.

"Colette!! The note is not for…." But as he tried to grab her arm, she disappeared into the crowd. Lloyd slammed his forehead, and yelled, "Stupid, stupid, stupid!!" Lloyd couldn't believe what just happened, he lost the note he wrote for Sheena. He could already hear his heart thumping quickly and loudly.

"But wait, there's still hope, once she reads the letter, she'll see that the note was for Sheena, not for her. I put her name on the card…………didn't I?" Lloyd thought to himself, but then he remembered, he didn't write Sheena's name on the card! Apparently, he put, to someone special, instead of putting her actually name. Lloyd smacked his forehead again and thought, "Whenever I try to do something romantic, it always ends up a disaster!" Lloyd tried to calm down, but he could already feel sweat dripping down from his head. "No, there's no problem, I must have put her name on the card somewhere." He wiped the sweat from his head away and continued looked for the stairs.

When he was on the upper floor, he looked around in the rooms to see if he could find Sheena. It took awhile, but then after the first two or three rooms, he saw her. She was outside on the balcony watching the snowfall. The room led to outside, and she left the door leading outside open, and that's how Lloyd saw her. He walked into the room, then stepped outside and walked next to Sheena.

"Hi Sheena." The beautifully dressed woman turned and saw the one she's been waiting for. Then the two of them were locked into a kiss.

"Oh Lloyd, I was so scared that you wouldn't be here!" The over excited Sheena told him. Lloyd smiled and laughed.

"I wouldn't miss this opportunity to see you for the world." Lloyd told her. Sheena was so glad to see him. The two of them held hands, and then all of a sudden Lloyd felt his stomach rumble. Sheena laughed.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Sheena asked him.

"…No…." Lloyd confessed. Sheena laughed again and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, I haven't either. Come on, let's go downstairs." The two of them laughed and went to the dinning room. As much of a good time Lloyd was having at the party already, he was afraid that something might go wrong…and that Colette might read the note…

Well there you go, I hoped you liked it. I'll be back with chapter two soon.
