Author's Note – I do not own Tales of Symphonia or any of its characters. If I did, I'd be uber rich and I would not be writing this right now. I'd be working on the sequel and luffling Cam Clarkson's voice. Oo I do that ANYWAY!
Prologue
It was a typical night for the two 20 year old girls: crashing in their house, staying up until 3 in the morning playing a video game or two. Their names were Elena "Elle" Heathaway and Kathryn "Kat" Remmings. They were the best of friends since they were five years old. Back then, they would sit down for endless hours playing with Barbie dolls and Cabbage Patch Kids. Now in the technological world, they would stay up for hours on end playing their favorite video games with each other. Tonight they were playing Tales of Symphonia.
"Alright Kat, we have to battle Rodyle now . . . He's gonna be SO ugly!" Elle said, giggling like a school-girl.
"A'ight!" Kat responded. Soon the boss battle music filled their ears and rapid button fire was all around them. Kat, who was playing with Sheena Fujibayashi at that time, was asking, "What's Rodyle's weakness?" Elle pondered and said, "I don't know. I'll use a magic lens and check." After using the item, they quickly found out that the boss's weakness was light.
"Check the unison moves – set Genis's left right move to cyclone and Raine's to Ray." Elle said while wailing on the monster with her favorite character, Zelos Wilder. Kat set the Sage siblings' moves to the correct button sequence and pressed the Z button.
However, they didn't hear the usual, "Let get him!" like they usually did with their patented epically awesome party. Instead, they heard a high pitched squeal coming from the television. The two girls squealed in pain. Elle reached over for the television remote, and turned it off. But now there was a low rumbling and they found out that the GameCube was shaking and rumbling like crazy. Soon the system was on fire. "ELENA!! Pass me my water bottle!" Kat screamed while sticking her arm out.
Bad decision.
After Kat poured the contents of the 791 mL water bottle out onto the game, the fire was gone, but both friends were put into a coma.
