If Only I am the one...

A Star Ocean -- Till The End of Time Fan-fiction

By: climax

Summary: What if Sophia is the one who is targeted by Vendeeni and Fayt has no parents? Will the plot is the same?

Just a little time, I do not own Star Ocean 3rd story. I am just borrowing it for my fun. By the way, if I have it, there will be no Adray at the game. Trust me. I rather make him an unplayable character or kicked him totally from the story (because of him, I'm not be able to see Albel or Nel for my first ending). Second, ENGLISH is never ever my native language (I'm studying it and currently in the intermediate 1) so sorry if my grammar (especially) is a little bit a mess. Third, this is not my FIRST fan-fiction but it is my first Star Ocean fanfic. In short, no flame for me. But you can critique me.

Oh, and beware, I'm a light (or heavy?) yaoi (boyxboy) lover. So, just prepare yourself if I make this story to my first yaoi HINTED fanfiction.

Pairing: Not decided yet --may be FaytxSophia-- (but you can help me to decide)

(--.--.--.--.--.--)

Prologue: Vacation

Fayt panted harshly. He had done his basketball practice too well today. Hey, don't expect him for always playing games whenever he has free time. He needs sport too, you know.

Luckily, there was none of his fan girls today. It was Sunday afternoon and most of the girls were hanging out with their friends. Yeah, being a pretty boy is not something that always pleasing. He notice this when he lost his parents and mature faster (physically and mentally) than the other boys -- which made him more and more attractive than he was each day.

This made Sophia was the only girl that has the permission to be near him. Of course, despite the fact that she was his long-old friend from childhood, she was one of the most attractive female student in his and her colleague. In short, Sophia needs a protection from someone she could believe and that someone was Fayt. Moreover, her parents have trusted Sophia to him.

"Fayt! There you are!" shouted a female voice.

Speaking of the devil, here was our lady, Sophia Esteed, standing at the edge of the basketball court, waving cheerfully to our beloved gentleman.

"Oh, Sophia... what is it?" asked Fayt. His breath started to even a little bit. Sophia has an excited expression on her face.

"Guess what Fayt? Started on tomorrow holiday, we are going to have a vacation at Hyda IV!!" yelled Sophia excitedly.

"Oh, good then. You are always dreaming to go there don't you?" asked Fayt. Then something struck him hard. "Wait a minute... WE??"

Sophia nodded excitedly. "Yes! We! My parents and I had decided that you should come!! And no refuse!" she said it before Fayt refuse to come with her.

"But Sophia, the fee..." Fayt tried to refuse in his own way. There was NO WAY he would go vacation with Sophia. Not that he didn't want to go to Hyda IV, but don't see big examples. Just look when he companied Sophia when the girl went shopping. It was as if Fayt was her personal slave. Many bags of clothes, boxes of accessories, perfumes, and many girls' things he had to carry. So many that he nearly expect that Sophia was going to buy the entire shopping centre. Just the thought that Sophia (and him) was going to have a vacation at a beautiful and famous planet was more than enough to make him shiver in fear.

"You don't have to worry! My parents have taken care of that!!" chirped Sophia happily.

Fayt was going to cry.

That's what I'm worrying!!

(--.--.--.--.--.--)

"Whoa... it's so beautiful!!" said Sophia in amazed tone. "Right, Fayt?"

Fayt nodded. They had just arrived and Sophia had dragged him to the beach before he had the chance to go to simulator room so he could play his beloved game. But he still couldn't deny the fact that the beach was so beautiful.

"Hey, Fayt! How about if we play beach ball? I bet it's more exciting and refreshing than play that simulator game!"

Fayt sighed. Well at least, he wouldn't bring some heavy bags and boxes... for now.

Thirty minutes later...

Sophia landed on her bed. "Ah! That was fun!" she exclaimed. Meanwhile, Fayt had just come back from bought some drinks for them.

He too, landed on a chair after he gave the drink to Sophia.

"That. Was. Exhausting..." said Fayt before he gulped his drinks fiercely. Yes, although they were playing together, Fayt was the one who chased the ball whenever the ball was out of range. In short, Fayt was the ball-boy who was running more often than Sophia. Girls could be cruel sometimes, whether they do it on purpose or not.

"Hmm... I never thought that you could be this weak, Fayt..." teased Sophia. If Fayt wasn't exhausted, he would give this girl one or more murderous glare. But he decided to answer.

"Oh, yes. You weren't the one that chased the ball, didn't you? And you kept tossing it far away from you and me. So I couldn't help that I'm more flat out than I'm supposed to," Fayt said sarcastically.

"But wasn't it your fault because you gave me hard-to-serve ball!" Sophia tried to defend herself.

"Oh, yeah? Isn't it just you that has no enough practice??" Fayt shot back.

Sophia's blood boiled to one hundred degrees Celsius.

"So what are you trying to say that I'm a lazy, spoiled girl that always disturbs people?? Fine! I'll go so I will not disturb you!" yelled Sophia as the girl started to walked out of the room.

Fayt realized his fault. "Wait, Sophia! I didn't mean to say that!" But too late, Sophia was out of sight now.

Fayt chased Sophia. But not long, he lost the girl's track.

Just a little information, I wrote this story more based to the manga (that released at the same time as the game). You guys can find the scanlations on it's on volume 02 chapter 01 when I publish this story.

Bye!

PS: One last thing, REVIEW PLEeEAaASSeeEEEE... T.T it is so rare to see Fayt-Sophia pairings in this , right? At least, give me a bonus!

::Actually, I wanted to write FaytxAlbel or CliffxFayt or the crazy one: LutherxFayt, but as inexperienced as innocents (am I innocent?), I can't do it.::
