A/N: This is my story ever. The idea just came to me, escorted by my muse and hyper plot bunnies. They would not go away until I wrote this chapter. . .

I hope this is a good story!

DISCLAIMER: -Sigh- How can I, a mere teen, own the greatness that is Tales of Symphonia? Even if I REALLY want to own Yuan and Kratos. . . -drools-. I don't own it or anything you recognize, okay?

"Tilly, it's time for dinner!" My mom called up to me from downstairs.

I ignored her as I continued to play my on my Nintendo Gamecube. I had just beaten my game, Tales of Symphonia, for the fifth time since I had bought it. It took so long on this file because I had wanted to get my party to the highest level. It didn't help that Kratos was a few levels lower than everyone else. If he wasn't so hot, I would not be doing this.

"Finally! I can get everyone's special costumes. I WANT ZELOS!" I screeched at my Gamecube. I really love having Kratos in my group, but Zelos is just so funny. I let out a sigh. He's also the only way to get those fancy outfits. They just had to make so only one of the two magic swordsman could be in your party at a time. . .

I snap out of my daydream when I hear my mother yell, "YOUNG LADY! Get your butt down here or I'll take your video games and sell them to the neighbor kids!" I instantly start to panic.

"You wouldn't! These games are the only way I can relax from the daily torture of school! Plus, the kids around here are toddlers. I don't think they will want my stuff." I yelled from the safety of my bedroom.

"Well, just get down here before too long. I made your favorite meal." She says as she heads back to the kitchen.

"Okay, Mom." I look back to my television. Maybe I'll just buy some stuff using GRADE and then head downstairs.On the way back to my big bed,I pause in front of my wall mirror. I need to change my wardrobe, too. I look like I just walked in from the Salvation Army. . .

The fourteen-year-old girl in the mirror had long dark brown hair, about to the middle of her back. Her eyes were also brown and had freckles all over her nose. The body was slightly plump, but only a little. The girl was tall and did have curves, but she hid it all with comfortable loose clothes. She had on a light grey t-shirt with dark blue sweatpants. The shoes were regular tennis shoes with Velcro straps.

Well, I like to be more comfortable than fashionable. Casual it stays. I sit back down on my pink bed and grab my controller. I bought everything I needed at the GRADE Shop and waited for the beginning to start. Kratos' voice is always good to listen to. I giggle at that thought.

"Once upon a time,

There existed a giant tree that was the source of all mana.

A war, however, caused this tree to wither away,

and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place.

Grieving over the loss,

the goddess disappeared unto the heavens.

The goddess left the angels with this edict:

"You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed."

The angels bore the Chosen One,

who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens.

And that marked the beginning of theregeneration of the world."

As I watched the introduction, it suddenly veered away from Iselia. The picture on the screen showed a small clearing near the town, just out of reach of curious eyes.

"What in the world? The game never showed this before. Does it have a glitch?" I mused over this unexpected delay before I heard a voice call out to me from the T.V.

"Sis? Where are you? We're getting a bit close to Iselia, don't you think?"

My attention immediately went back to the screen. There was a boy about twelve standing in the clearing. I just noticed there was now a fire and a tent there, too. I am so confused. What's happening?

The boy was obviously an elf. Short black hair was covered by the hood of the black cape he had on. He was wearing a dark green shirt and tunic with black pants. He was also wearing some green leather armor on his front and on the kid's back was a bow and a quiver full of arrows. He seems familiar. Have I seen this boy before? I don't think I have, but I'm getting such a weird feeling. . .

The boy continued to call out. "Sister? If this is on purpose, I'll never forgive you!" I ignored this because I was too busy flipping through a game guide.

Oh, come on! There has to be something about this glitch. It has never happened before and I don't want to lose my progress! The mental rambling went on until the kid said something I could NOT ignore.

"Tilly! Where are you! Sis, I'm scared without you with me. . ." With that, he starts to cry and he sits down on the grass near the fire.

I did not just hear that! He just called for me! Well, not me, but his sister named Tilly. It's such a coincidence, though. As I continue to stare at the T.V., I feel that I do indeed know the young kid. Wait, I DO know his name! It's on the tip of my tongue! Otis, Oran, Otika, Orkal, Oreo, Orion. . .

As it comes to me, I yell out, "Orkion! That's his name!" As if he heard his name, Orkion looks up, and whispers a quiet, "Sis? Is that you, Tilly?" My mind just froze when he said that, because along with his sentence, my whole room starts to spin. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

I manage to utter out a "Damn!" before everything goes black.

A/N: I really hoped you like it. I plan on doing more chapters. If you read and review, I give you someting nice next A/N.
