Gemi-chan- A Tales of Symphonia fan fic! Written by yours truly for personal enjoyment!

It had been an ordinary day for Christa Frunelle and her best friend Hikari Morina. They were now headed to Christa's house for a sleepover since spring break had just started. All the way to Christa's house, the two friends sat next to each other on the bus and talked about everything they planned to do, even though they probably wouldn't do half of it.

"I want to play ToS when we get to your house Christa!" Hikari squealed in delight, her ocean blue eyes sparkled behind her oval shaped glasses.

Christa laughed and played with one of her long brown braids, her emerald green eyes flickered in the warm sun.

"You always want to play that when you come over!" She said giggling.

Hikari pouted.

"Alright! All right! You can play ToS!" Christa said with a heavy sigh.

Hikari squealed delightedly at her victory. She started fidgeting and didn't stop until the bus stopped at Christa's house. The two friends said goodbye to the bus driver as they got off and then headed into Christa's house. Christa unlocked the door and the two girls headed up to Christa's room, dumping their school things onto the floor, closing the door and jumping onto Christa's bed. Christa pulled up her sister's gamecube that was lying on the floor and popped in their favorite game, Tales of Symphonia. Christa grabbed the controller and turned on the gamecube.

"Hey Christa… do you hear something?" Hikari muttered, hearing a strange, unusual whirring noise come from the gamecube lying on Christa's bed.

"Hm? I don't hear anything." Christa replied.

Hikari fell silent as the opening video started. Suddenly, before the opening video had even ended, the screen fell black and the gamecube fell silent. Christa and Hikari blinked in confusion and looked at each other. Just then, the whirring noise Hikari had heard came back, this time extremely louder than the first time she heard it.

"Wha- what's going on!?" Christa shrieked.

All of a sudden, a blinding light exploded from the blank TV screen and engulfed the two friends. They both screamed and grabbed onto each other in fear as the light surrounded them, blinding them both and threatening to rip them apart from each other. The two girls held onto each other for dear life, too scared to even loosen their death grips on each other. Suddenly, another blinding flash of light sent the girls into unconsciousness.

"Nngh…" Hikari moaned as she woke up.

She sat up and rubbed her pounding head. She looked at Christa who was still knocked out and then took a look at her surroundings. A forest could be seen in the distance and a small town lay next to it. Hikari then felt Christa move as she awoke.

"Ugh… my head…" Christa complained.

"Christa… where are we?" Hikari asked once Christa was fully conscious.

"beats me..." Christa replied as she looked around.

"Hey wait… that town is… Ozette! And that's the Gaoracchia Forest!" She then claimed, utterly shocked.

Hikari looked at her like she was insane.

"Seriously Hikari! Look! It's Ozette and the Gaoracchia Forest!"

Hikari took a closer look at the two locations and she saw that Christa was right.

"But wait… if that's Ozette and Gaoracchia Forest… then we must be…" Hikari started.

"…In the game. We're in Tales of Symphonia!" Christa finished, absolutely stunned.

The two girls got to their feet and dusted off their pants.

"Let's go to Ozette, we won't be able to do anything by standing around here." Christa claimed.

Hikari nodded in agreement and the two set off for Ozette, having to mad dash run from occasional monsters that threatened to kill the unarmed girls. They finally reached Ozette, bleeding from a few cuts and completely exhausted.

"O…K… we have to… get weapons…" Hikari stuttered, completely out of breath.

Christa could only nod as she gasped for air. Once they had regained their composure, they took a look around the small village.

"It looks exactly like the Ozette in the game." Hikari noted.

Christa was still looking around.

"I think that's because we are in the game Hikari…" She muttered.

"But how on Earth did we get here?"

"I don't know Hikari… but I'm sure it had something to do with that light and the whirring noise that came from my gamecube…"

"But why? It's never done that before."

"I don't know Hikari… I really don't know…"

The two friends wandered around town until they came across a familiar house.

"This is Presea's home…" Christa muttered, spotting the familiar grave the two girls had seen during a cutscene in the game.

"Who is out there?" They heard the soft voice of Presea whisper from inside.

The two friends froze as the small pink haired woman came out.

"Who are you?" Presea asked.

"Er... I'm Christa, and this is my friend Hikari." Christa introduced.

"Why are you at my house?" Presea prodded.

"Well... We're kind of lost and we wound up here…" Hikari replied, not really knowing how to explain their situation.

Presea nodded and simply beckoned them to come inside. The two girls didn't hesitate to follow her in. Once inside the two girls stood completely stunned. The whole group was there! Lloyd, Colette, Genis, Raine, Kratos, Zelos, Regal, and Sheena were all gathered at Presea's eating table. Christa and Hikari could barely contain their fan girlish squeals at seeing the whole group.

"Well, well. Who are these two lovely ladies?" Came Zelo's suave voice.

"They are travelers who have gotten lost." Presea answered.

"Lost? Oh my…" Colette sympathized.

Christa wanted to cry at Colette's cuteness, she had always been her favorite character. The whole angel, save the world title was very admirable in Christa's mind.

"So how did you get lost? Where did you come from?" Lloyd asked.

Christa and Hikari looked at each other. How were they going to explain this one?

"Uh…" Christa muttered.

"Well…" Hikari said.

Neither of them knew what to say at this point.

"We're… not really from this world…" Christa stated.

"Not from this world? But I regenerated the worlds… they should be one now." Colette replied.

"We're not… from either worlds." Hikari said.

"Not from either worlds? Then where are you from?" Raine prodded, getting that look in her eyes when something intrigues her.

"We're from… Earth, a different world than Sylverant or Tethe'alla…" Christa answered.

"Earth? I've never heard of such a place." Sheena declared.

"Well… that's where we're from…" Christa replied.

"How did you get here?" Kratos asked.

"We fell through our T-mph!" Hikari began before Christa slapped a hand over her mouth.

"We... er... we fell through a dimensional rift." Christa quickly replied nervously.

Regal and Kratos raised an eyebrow at this action, but overlooked it. Christa sighed and asked if she and Hikari could be excused for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, they were dismissed and Christa dragged Hikari into Presea's kitchen.

"We have to pretend like we're a part of this game or they'll think we're an enemy!" Christa then warned once they were in the other room.

Hikari just blinked.

"We can't let them know that this is just a game in our world! They believe that everything here is all real! They don't know that in our world, their world, er… worlds, are just part of a game called Tales of Symphonia!"

"Ah, so we have to become part of the game itself?"

"Exactly!"

After finishing their little quarral, the two friends made their way back into the main room.

"So uh… why are you all here? I thought Col- I mean the Chosen had already regenerated the worlds…" Christa stated.

Colette smiled.

"I did, but there's a new Chosen now. The final Chosen of Regeneration." She claimed.

Hikari and Christa blinked.

"We were surprised too when we found out, but turns out there's one final Chosen left. This final Chosen is to regenerate both worlds so they will finally become one and only one, no two existences that live in coordination with each other tied by the mana tree." Kratos explained.

'That's right… I finished the game once so in this world… during the final cutscene, the mana tree was reborn… for real… and connected both worlds so they didn't compete for mana… but got the same amount… but they are still two existences… not one final world.' Christa thought to herself, trying to figure this puzzle out.

'The guidebook never said anything about this part of the game…if it's still part of the game…this is so exciting!' Hikari thought to herself, not letting anyone know that she was completely lost.

"So… What did you name the tree Lloyd?" Christa asked.

"Huh? How did you know I named the tree? And how do you know my name?" Lloyd questioned her in return.

'oh crap!' Christa panicked in her thoughts.

"Ah… well… news travels fast… and uh... you're pretty famous… all of you are." Christa stuttered, fumbling for an answer that wouldn't reveal the fact that this was just a game, or something close to it.

It worked.

Lloyd nodded; he was his same dumb self, which was why Christa had that normal videogame character crush on him. Hikari had a thing for Kratos, which she boasted very proudly when she first saw him while Christa was playing the game at Christa's house back on Earth.

"I named it Yggdrasial." Lloyd then answered.

The two girls froze, he named it after Mythos? This was too much; the game had become so real! Everyone moved on their own, talked on their own, made their own decisions, everything was on their own, no controller in sight! Christa's head was spinning and she felt dizzy, not to mention her head was pounding from the travel to this place. Her body finally gave out and she collapsed on the floor unconscious. The last thing she heard was Hikari screaming her name.
