Hi people! This is my first time posting something here on fanfiction, but not my first time posting actual fanfiction. So yuppers...Umm, I'm barely starting to learn all about updating and stuff here so if there's any mistakes on the format, my bad! Well, can't say anything else so...No, this is not a usual self-insert. It may look like it kinda at first, but it's not. You'll see, a few things are explained here in chapter one. Now...Colette!!!

Colette: Hmm? Yes!

Me: Disclaimer. I don't have any money in case I'm sued to say it.

Colette: Ok! Tsuki does not own anything or anyone form Tales. She only owns her character.

Me: Thank you. The most I have on my bank account right now is 92 cents. So don't sue mmk? Mmk!

I look up from my computer, staring at the game cube...It has been exactly 3 years now, today...Three long years since her disappearance, since I lost my only sister. I sigh. She had worked on the video game called Tales of Symphonia, it was part of her latest projects. She had been up late one night at work, beta testing it to make sure there weren't any more glitches when she disappeared. They found the game cube running, her coffee mug still half way full, a partly eaten donut on a napkin...All her belongings, except her of course. No one knows what happened. I look down sadly at my homework. I was 23 when it happened, studying to become a doctor...

After that though, I lost sight of doing that. I dropped out for a semester, before having some sense knocked into me by my worried friends. I changed my major and began to take dance classes along with a few other things.

A sigh escapes my lips as I go to turn on the game cube. 'Why do I do this to myself?' I wonder to myself, 'I play this damn game last year too! Why do I keep this game anyway?! All it does is bring me pain!' I lie to myself, for it does not bring me pain. In a way, I feel connected to my sister through it. It was the last thing she was doing, therefore I am close to her. Yes, my logic is weird. Leave it alone.

I see the intro and I can't help but go fan girlish when I see a few of the characters. Especially those with nice hair. I smirk as I realize my hair fetish would have most men running for the hills. Good. Don't need one anyways. I go to start a new game as I get comfy on my old recliner. God I love that thing, it's helped make my school work and game hours easier, and just that much more bearable.

The intro begins, and I hear Kratos voice, which makes me melt inside. What can I say? I love his voice! I smile as the screen quickly goes to Lloyd in the classroom. I chuckle as that scene always makes me laugh. I play for a bit, before my stomach growls, hindering my progress.

"Food! Need food!" I whine out, quickly heading to my kitchen. I take our out some dumplings and a pan. As they cook, I look over my homework… "I really should do that instead of playing..." I mumble to myself, "but nah! I'll do it later!" I grin as I settle back in my recliner with a plateful of dumplings. I dip them in soy sauce and continue my game.

I sigh as I see the part where Colette tells Lloyd the wrong time. I pout. I really think she should've let him go from the beginning. Colette and them leave. I'm about to continue when all of a sudden a quake rocks the room.

My eyes widen as the whole room starts to shake violently, dishes crash to the floor as objects slide from the shelf's and onto the floor. I groan as I try to hold onto my recliner, hoping nothing too valuable is damaged when my TV starts to flicker on and off. I groan as all of a sudden a bright light shoots out from it and I feel my body being stretched.

A piercing scream rattles its way through my throat, filling the room before I see it too is being stretched. I feel tears in my eyes as it all suddenly goes dark. And then nothing. I don't feel anything at all, just...Nothing.

I am numb, feeling nothing at all as I lie still. I feel what appears to be dirt below me. 'Dirt?' I wonder, thinking maybe I was going crazy. My eyelids are heavy, I don't want to open them. Suddenly I feel bile rising up my throat and I quickly snap my eyes open, sitting up. I turn to a nearby bush and hurl, letting my dinner quickly scatter around the floor.

I groan as the last of the bile escapes me. I blink, trying to figure out what happened...I can feel a pounding in my head. God I hate headaches. I sigh rubbing my temples as I take it all in. I'm in what appears to be a forest, a familiar forest. Yes, I know most forests look the same and this one shouldn't be different. But, I just know it is. It's dark so I squint, trying to see farther than five feet. I see a house. At least I think it's a house.

I grab onto a nearby stone and get up, still a bit shaky from before. I sigh leaning against it. I rummage through my jean pockets and take out my house keys. I smile as I get my blue mini-flashlight attached to them and click it on. God I'm happy I bought that thing now. The small beam lights a bit of my surroundings as I try to study them as best as possible. It's not going so well.

I focus my beam on the stone I'm leaning against and see what appears to be writing on it. I get a closer look and see a name. Anna. I study the stone closely and I see how closely it resembles the one in Tales. I give a half chuckle, 'Can't be it. That's in a game. And I'm...I'm just not at my place.'

I'm about to head to what looks like a house when I see a shining light coming from that direction. My mouth slides open in disbelief as it comes closer. "ok..This is a dream." I say to myself. It is logical. The lights goes hover over the stone, that's when I realize I'm standing on a grave. I gasp jumping off it.

I know I should've realized it was a grave when I saw the name, but I blame the fact that I'm in denial of everything that is happening in this dream. Yup. You got to love denial.

The light takes form and I gasp when I see a young woman, maybe a few years older than me, that has a strong resemblance to my sister. Her eyes open, revealing onyx-like eyes. My eyes. Her lips lift up, in a small smile. "Jasmine..." she says in a soft voice, her features glowing in delight. 'She knows my name. How does she know my name?!' I think as she just stares.

She just chuckles, as if reading my mind. "Your face says it all." she says amused. Good to know she's having a great time. "Well, How about I tell you a bit about myself." she begins, "I'm Anna, and I'm kind of dead." My eyes get as big as saucers, which sends her into a small fit of giggles but then she gets serious, "Well Jas, I need your help. Badly."

I stare dumbfounded. "This is one weird dream." I state looking around.

"My dear Jas, this is no dream." she says laughing a bit.

I blink. "But of course it is, how else would all this be happening if it weren't a figment of my imagination? I mean, none of this is possible, the whole you glowing thing and me getting stretched. There are two logical reasons: I fell asleep while playing and this dream is result of me eating dumplings at 3 in the morning. Or there really was an earthquake and something hit me so hard on the head, it knocked me out. And this dream is the result of that. Either way, it's a dream." I say, sounding a lot like one of my professor's.

She just grins big, "Well, believe what you want. But as time progresses, you'll start to think otherwise." she says dismissively then she turns serious again, "You need to help me. Help me change the future, help me save everyone from dying." her eyes turn sorrowful, "To make everything right." I just stare. Right. This is totally a dream. "Please...Help me..."

I stare. Even though I know this is a dream, I feel inclined to help her. She just looks so sad, so hurt and fragile. She looks devastated, her eyes hold the sadness of loss. I sigh before nodding, "Might as well go along with this dream. Who knows, maybe it'll help me wake up faster."

She sighs in relief, "As long as you will help, I will let you keep thinking of this as a dream." Her eyes quickly glance behind me, to the building I was heading towards before.

"Well...What exactly do you need help with?" I ask, tilting my head a bit.

She just sighs, "I cannot tell you everything, just know that they will all die."

"Who?"

"Lloyd, Colette, Sylvarant, Tethe'Alla...All dead. We have to stop it!" She says, her voice quivering in emotion.

My eyes widen, Sylvarant?! No way! I stare, definitely knowing this is just a weird dream my imagination came up with. She just stares. "Jasmine...I know you think it's just a game, but it's not. A lot more people die in the journey to fuse together both worlds." I have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I know she's telling the truth and maybe it's not a dream. But as I said before, denial.

"So...Anna right?" she nods, "Well I'm guessing your Lloyds mom right?" She nods once more. "Anything else I should know about you?" I ask, wondering if my imagination is good enough to come up with what I'm thinking. I wait for her to confirm my suspicions.

She just smiles sadly at me, "My dear…Jasmine, I can't tell you more about me. You'll find out later on."

I nod. "Right. So let me get this straight, you want me to basically tag along with Lloyd and them to help them out throughout their journey and help them save the world?" I ask.

She nods. "And maybe even...Help out a certain someone. Who it is, is up to you to figure out."

So I have to figure out who I'm personally going to help? Joy.

"Well whatever. I'll tag along. My knowledge of what happens should help." I state more to myself than her.

"Umm..."

"Umm what?"

"You're not really going to have access to that later on."

I stare. "You've got to be-"

"I'm sorry! But...Your memories of your world will gradually begin to be replaced by ones from here. They'll be similar here. Like if you had a kid on earth, you would have one here. You see what I mean?"

I nod. Joy, joy, joy!

"Well...You do realize I have no combat skills whatsoever right?"

She gets a sly smile. "Oh you do, you just don't realize they can be used for combat. And not only that, but you'll have an easy enough weapon."

"And what wo-"

"Who's there?!"

I hope it wasn't to horrible. If it was, my bad! XP Well, anyways, Colette!

Colette: hiya! Please review on how the story was! If you do, you'll make Tsuki very, very happy. And she'll even give you a cookie!

Me: nods yuppers! I'll give you a cookie. Fair deal no? X3
