Just in case you were wondering, I formerly used the screen name, "RiddlenKid" and wrote "A New World". However, I stopped for 2 years, but I'm finally back, and I'm rewriting to make it better. I also changed the title, as the summary suggests. I wanted to start anew, so I deleted the old story to replace it with this one, which is hopefully much better. I would also like to thank the people who have reviewed my story in the past. They've helped a lot, and they're a big reason why I'm rewriting and continuing this story. ) Well, on with it! Please R&R, and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of Symphonia

Rated PG13 for sexual situations, violence and language.

A/N: In case you didn't read the summary, this is after the final battle of ToS, so, spoilers I guess.
-Zelos does not hate Kratos.
-Sylvarant and Tethe'alla are two separate continents in the same world.
-Action/Adventure part doesn't really pick up until Chapter 6
Pairings: Mainly LloydXSheena. Small GenisXPresea, KratosXRaine-ish (A little bit of Anna). There may be other pairings, but I guess you guys will have to read to find out. )


You and I think a lot alike, Sheena! I think we could become great friends.

...Great...friends…

Oh, you don't want to?...

...Idiot!


I-I want to be with you…

S-sure I want to be with you too.

R...really! Then it's settled okay? You can't change your mind now! We're going on a journey to collect all the exspheres in the world….

Yeah. That way, no more people will fall victim to the Exspheres and these things will never be dragged into a conflict like this again.

It's a promise. If you don't keep it. I'm going to invoke the Mizuho tradition of making a liar swallow a thousand needles.


"Common Lloyd, name the tree for us"

"I name this tree…"

Chapter 1: The beginning of a new one

"Yggdrasil."

Colette beamed at Lloyd, "that's a great name!"

Lloyd smiled, "Common, we should be heading back to the others."

"Ok", Colette said.

Lloyd and Colette flew back to the others.

When Lloyd saw the others, he flew down, and Colette followed.

"YOU'RE BACK!" Exclaimed a tear-crying, happy Sheena, as she ran as fast as she could to Lloyd, and gave him a hug.

Lloyd blushed, "h-hey, I'm back."

Everyone smiled at Sheena and Lloyd. Even Zelos was smiling, Lloyd, the person who made the biggest difference in his life aside from Seles seemed to have finally gotten a "hunnie".

Lloyd, still oblivious to the fact that Sheena had grown very fond of him, hugged her back.

"Lloyd has a girlfriend, Lloyd has a girlfriend!" Genis chanted.

The two immediately broke apart and blushed like crazy.

"Shut up Genis!" Lloyd shouted angrily.

"Errr… errrr…" Sheena mumbled while looking at the floor.

"Lloyd has a girlfriend? Who is it?" Colette asked innocently.

"Sheena!" Genis laughed.

"OH! Congratulations Lloyd!... Hehe…" Colette exclaimed.

"Shut up Genis!" Lloyd shouted louder.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh or smile.

"Heh, my son's all grown up now." Kratos thought.

Genis went to Presea's side, who was had a questioning look on her face.

"What's wrong Presea?" Genis asked.

"N-nothing." Presea blushed, "They both look pretty happy together…"

"Ye-yeah…" Genis sighed sadly, hoping to have a good conversation with Presea.

Little did Genis know that Presea was thinking if Genis and her could ever be like that.

Lloyd calmed everyone down and said it was just a sign of friendship.

Genis went over to Lloyd, "Oh Lloyd! Can I see your wings? They were so big! Pull them out!" Genis exclaimed.

Lloyd pulled out his wings, "errr… like that?"

Everyone was in awe of his big wings.

"Yeah!" Genis and Colette shouted.

"Whoa! Awesome!" Sheena exclaimed.

"Big." Presea said.

"HEY! NO FAIR! HOW COME LLOYD GETS BIG WINGS? I AM THE CHOSEN OF TETHE'ALLA!" Zelos whined.

"It's because of his exsphere, the one that was supposed to be for the Angelus project, has evolved." Kratos said.

Zelos crossed his arms and sighed, "I want big wings too…"

Colette ran up to Lloyd, "Oh they're so big Lloyd!"

Presea, Zelos and Raine ran up to Lloyd to see his wings up front.

"Fascinating…" Raine said.

Poke poke poke

"Hey quit it Presea! Everyone leave me alone!" Lloyd exclaimed as he flew up.

"Alright everybody, leave Lloyd alone, I think he's had enough." Kratos said.

"Awww, but they're so cool!" Genis and Colette cried out.

"No they're not! They're just wings, listen to Kratos! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Lloyd shouted as he landed, putting away his wings.

Sheena and Regal laughed.

"Hey what's so funny?" Lloyd questioned.

They just continued laughing.

"Hahaha… Ok guys, where do we go from here?" Lloyd asked.

"A good question, for once." Raine smiled, "well I suggest that we all have one last meeting, and then go from there, everyone agree?"

Everyone nodded.

Kratos walked up to Lloyd. "Lloyd… my son, haven't you realized yet?"

"Realized what da-Kratos?" Lloyd inquired.

Kratos sighed, "Lloyd, Sheena has been growing quite fond of you since she's met you."

Lloyd looked at Sheena puzzled, Sheena was already looking at him but turned away, blushing. Lloyd laughed cheerfully, "Of course Kratos, why would anyone NOT like me? I mean, I haven't done anything wrong… I think."

Kratos gave Lloyd a cut-eye, "Don't you understand what I'm saying!" Said Kratos, frustrated, "do you even know what fond means!"

"Of course, it's a feeling when someone likes another person. It's like I'm fond of everyone!" Lloyd said happily.

Kratos gave up and walked off.

"Huh? Did I say something?" Lloyd asked himself.

Everyone was waiting for Lloyd's orders.

"Well it's time we get going, off to Meltokio!" Lloyd exclaimed.

"YAY! All my hunnies will be waiting for me, and I'll have such a great time!" Zelos cheered.

Everyone sighed.


Me: Writing for Colette is annoying. :( Anyway, thank you for reading! More coming soon.
