Well I decided to write a Tales of Symphonia fic because I love this game! This is mostly a Genis and Persea story but there are hints of other couples. Anyway onto the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: The truth must be told! I do not own Namco or any characters from Tales of Symphonia!

Getting the Girl

The campfire crackled merrily; unlike Genis' mood at the moment. He lay staring at the stars until he heard footsteps appraching. "Hi Genis!" Lloyd exclaimed happily. Genis turned his head to Lloyd and grinned. "What are you so happy about Lloyd? Did you kiss Colette?" Lloyd's face turned a slight shade of pink. "W-what are you talking about Genis? O-o-of course not!"

Genis laughed. "Right Lloyd, right. Whatever you say." Lloyd's face turned a deeper shade of pink and he looked away for a few moments then he turned back to Genis. "Well anyway Genis, what's wrong? You seem kind of down lately." Genish sighed and his eyes flickered towards Persea who was quietly talking to Colette and Sheena. Lloyd followed his friend's gaze then smiled knowingly. "It's Persea isn't it? You like her don't you?" It was Genis' turn to blush. He opened up his mouth to protest but then closed it and nodded. Lloyd grinned. "Ah ha! I knew it! I just knew it!"

"Quiet down Lloyd! Do you want everyone to hear?"

Zelos at the moment was pacing around the camp and overheard what Genis had just said. He plopped down beside Genis and sniggered. "What don't you want everyone to hear Genis?"

Once again Genis's flushed. "Lloyd! Look what you did! You got him

over here!"

Lloyd rubbed the back of his head with his hand. "Heh sorry Genis."

Zelos on the other hand was looking back and forth between Lloyd and Genis.

"Okay guys. What's going on? I know you have a secret Genis so spill!"

Genis sighed and replied "You swear that you won't tell anyone Zelos?"

Zelos placed his hand over his heart. "I, Zelos Wilder the Chosen of Tethe'alla hereby swear not to tell a single soul of Genis' secret."

"Ok fine I'll tell you. I-I like Presea.." Genis flushed and looked down at the ground.

Zelos chuckled "You like my little rosebud? Well then I guess you can have her. I have my own lady anyway." Zelos looked toward Sheena then back to Genis.

"So have you told her yet?"

Genis had a puzzled look on his face. "Told her what?"

"Geez and I thought you were smart! I mean did you tell Persea that you like her!"

"W-w-well I haven't t-told her y-yet" Genis stammered.

Zelos sighed and held his head in his hands. "You'll never get anywhere by just staring at her Genis! You gotta get her attention! Make her notice you! I mean come on! You shold know this stuff!"

Lloyd intervened in the conversation now. "Give him a break Zelos! I mean Genis is only 12! How would he know this kind of stuff?"

Zelos puffed out his chest. "Well I knew how to get a girl's attention since I was 10!"

Genis mumbled quietly "Well that's because your're a sick person."

Lloyd ignored Zelos and looked back to Genis. "Don't worry Genis. I'll help you get Persea to notice you! I'm gonna help you get your girl!"

Zelos ginned widely. "And I'll help too!"

Genis smiled and shook his head and looked towards Zelos. "That's what I was afriad of."
