Found Ya Mate
Kid woke up in a strange bed. No this wasn't the bed in an inn or the bedroll she stayed in while camping with Serge and the others. Serge...
She sat up and looked around. Kid was in a room- a very small one at that! No, she shouldn't be here. She was supposed to be with Serge, going to kill Lynx. Kid held the side of her head with her hand, totally confused.
Nope, Serge already killed Lynx. Then...weren't they supposed to be defeating the Time Devourer...no! They did that too. Kid let her hand drop to her side and she stared at the wall. Now she remembered.
After they saved Schala...Serge left. Kid suddenly smiled. She said she would find him and that was just what she was going to do. Throwing the sheets aside, Kid ran from the room.
A woman holding a tray of food stood just outside it. Kid ran right past her too.
"Wait! Don't you want to eat something?" The woman called after her, but Kid was already long gone.
"Okay, first off, where am I?" Kid stopped in the middle of a dirt road and looked around. None of this looked familiar. Small houses lined the road and people were walking around chatting to each other. "Oi! Yea you there!" Kid ran up to the startled child and knelt down so she was eye level with him. "Where am I?" The little boy looked at her and smiled.
"You're in Oaken!" He said cheerfully. Kid grimaced at the unfamiliarity of the name.
"Do ye know where I can find Opassa Beach?" She asked him. The boy thought a moment and nodded.
"Yea, you have to go down the strong south current and you'll reach a place called Termina–"
"Thanks kid." Kid stood up and left the boy standing there, very bewildered. Kid looked around some more and found a sign that said 'DOCKS'. "All I need now is a boat." She jogged down to the docks and found an array of different boats. "Great!"
Kid jumped in the nearest one, untied the rope holding it from drifting away and grabbed the oars. A very fat, balding man ran up tho her boat.
"Hey! You can't just row away with that! You have to pay!" Kid shook her head and smirked.
"Sorry, mate. Can't. I'm in a hurry. See ya!" She rowed away and hitched up the sail, picking up the south wind. The fat man turned purple screaming after her. But she payed no attention to him at all. "Here I come, Serge..." Kid whispered to herself. "An' nothin's gonna stop me."

Serge woke up once again in his bed in Arni. But...something was wrong. It felt like a huge chunk of his brain was missing. Either that or his heart. But why would a piece of his heart be missing?
Serge sat up and looked out the open window. Leena must have tried to wake him up again without succeeding. Leena.
Would he have to marry her? Everyone in the village was expecting it. Everyone except maybe, himself. Yes, Leena was nice, but did he want to spend every single day with her? Serge shook his head and got out of bed. Finding that he was already dressed, he went downstairs to say good morning to Marge.
She was there cooking a breakfast of eggs and bacon when he came down.
"Good morning, Sleepyhead!" She greeted him. Serge grunted in a tired reply and sat down at the table. Marge placed a plate in front of him and sat down directly across from him. "Okay, what's wrong?"
Serge poked at his breakfast and shrugged. "I actually don't know. It's sort of hard to explain..." Marge smiled.
"I know exactly what you mean." Serge looked up, surprised.
"You do?" Marge nodded.
"Why don't you go and see Leena and tell her how you feel?"
Serge stared at her. Was his mother saying he should confess his love to Leena? She had it all wrong. He didn't want to see her today, really. "No, mom. I'm going to go for a walk instead."
Marge frowned. Serge never just went out for walks. Serge's mother sighed. Something was up, but today she should leave her son be. He is growing up and he deserves some alone time. "Alright. Finish your meal and you can go."
Serge stood up, already done and waved goodbye to her. Grabbing his swallow, he rushed out of the small house. Everyone was smiling at him. Expectant. Something bothered him about that look. Like he had seen it so many times before. But where...
"Hi, Serge!" It was Leena. Serge stopped in front of her and managed a weak smile.
"Hey, Leena," he replied. Leena looked at him suspiciously.
"Where are you going?"
Serge shrugged. "I dunno. Just for a walk." Leena nodded.
"Oh. Do you want company?" She batted her eyelashes at him. Doesn't that hurt? Just making them go up and down in an freakishly fast pace. Naw, Serge will never understand why girls did that. It's so...stupid and unattractive.
"Hello?" Leena waved her hand in front of his face. "Anybody home?" Serge came out of his stupor and blinked at her.
"Sorry, what?" he asked. Leena rolled her eyes.
"Do you want company?" She repeated. Serge told her no. "But...why?" She asked.
"I need to be alone." Serge said, beginning to walk away. Leena wet after him.
"But–"
"I said no! I don't want to see you right now. Bye." Serge left Leena standing there, very hurt.
"Serge, I..." But he already strode out of the gates and was gone.
*~~*~~*~~*
Kid yawned on her boat. She should have grabbed some food back in Oaken. Running out without anything was extremely stupid. Though, it was for a good cause. Serge! Kid smiled and laid on the bottom of the boat.
The boat was still sailing west. In no time she'll be in Termina! Maybe she'd meet some others from before. No, she didn't think they would remember her. They probably lost all memory from their journey. Darn...
Kid sat up just as a large island loomed into view. Though, just before her were white rapids. "Oh, damn..." She had never dealt with this before. Sure she remembered when Serge maneuvered his way through them. He made it seem so easy!
Kid's small boat traveled closer and closer to the white waters. She braced herself and gripped tightly onto the rudder. This was it...
A wave crashed into the side, nearly throwing Kid out of it. Another crashed into the boat and she swallowed a mouthful of sea water. Sputtering, she turned the rudder to avoid a huge rock. Sadly, she didn't make the turn fast enough and the boat got a large scratch on it. Water seeped in through the gash.
Kid cursed herself and managed to navigate though the rest of the rapids. Good thing was she was closer to Termina. Bad thing was her boat was on the verge of sinking. Thinking quickly, Kid shoved her dagger in the crack and it stopped the heavy flow to a mere trickle. She leaned back on the mast and sighed in relief.
She wouldn't drown just yet. Hunger stabbed at her stomach again and Kid groaned. "Food." Kid was also tired. That was definitely not good. Hunger and fatigue laced together could be fatal. Especially on the water.
Kid decided to take a nap. "Serge...I'm coming...Serge..." Before long she was asleep. And as if the rapids weren't enough, a storm was brewing ahead...
