- Chapter 1
My life was never the best. I had been living off ramen until I cloud pay off my student loan, and The most entertainment I had was my beaten up old gamecube.
I never saw it coming, that's for sure. I was exhausted, I had just gotten home. I put some ramen by the stove, then sat by my small army of 20+ games. I stared at them, wondering which one I should play.
I took out several contestants: Paper Mario, Skies of Arcadia, Mystic Hero, and Tales of Symphonia. Now it was time to mercilessly pick which one I would play.
"Paper Mario, played it to many times, I remember every detail." I put that one back, "Skies of Arcadia is to boring." another one down, I looked at Mystic Heroes, thinking of all the merciless finger-killing hack'n'slash. I picked it up with the intent to play it, but...
I blinked and I wasn't holding Mystic Heroes any more, I was standing in front of my TV, which was displaying the gamecube animation that meant it was on. "What?" I closed my eyes to try and remember what had just happened.
Resolving I'd figure it out later, I grabbed the 1st person controller and sat down. Just as I was starting to relax I noticed something unnerving. The Mystic Heroes box was put away and the Tales of Symphonia box was sitting next to the gamecube. I thought for a moment as Tales of Symphonia started up.
I skipped the anime sequence at the beginning. I didn't remember where I left off, Nor did I care to try and pick up where I left off, I pressed the new game option.
I sorta remembered the opening, it was a picture of Sylvarant with Kratos giving backstory. Only, this time seemed different... after the camera zoomed in on the land the first thing I saw was a large city, I knew I hadn't played in a while but I was sure there wasn't a city like that in Sylvarant
"Wha?" I blinked, "this can't be right." Soon after that the gamecube started sparking. That's when I really knew something was wrong. I stood up and walked over to the gamecube. I bent down to turn off my gamecube but...
I blacked out.
I didn't want to open my eyes, and to be truthful, I couldn't. There was a bright light trying to penetrate my eyelids, and where ever I was it was noisy, like people noisy.
I was on my back, I knew that because the cobble stones were uneven against my back. I moved my hand to my head, it was still there, and my hair still went down to my chin. As far as I could tell without opening my eyes I had all ten fingers, all ten toes, two arms, two legs, and everything else that comes with a female body. I was still whole.
I was about to get up when someone tripped over me. "Woah!"
"Zelos!" came the cry of several girls.
My eyes snapped open "Zelos?"
"I'm all right ladies." The person whom tripped over me stood up. My vision was still blurry but I could see a hand come in my view. I reached out and took the hand, the person hoisted me up. "But, what I want to know is why this lovely lady is on the ground."
I blinked some more trying to clear my vision and was about to answer when one of the girls that was surrounding Zelos said, "She doesn't deserve your attention."
I felt Zelos's hand let go of mine. "Now kitten, hate is unbecoming for your beauty."
I mentally gagged at how cheesy that sounded, but it worked because the girl then said, "I guess she's all right."
"Now," my vision cleared enough to clear me of any doubt, this man WAS Zelos Wilder. Zelos turned to me a large womanizing smile on his face, "What's your name?"
My brain shut off. "This can't... It's impossible... you're..." I let a blackness consume me.
A/N: I've had this in the works since my last failed attempt. And so here it is! Retooled and redesigned! Oh, and the name of the story becomes important later on. And also the partner fic part will be explored later, in both stories.
Reveiws are very welcome!
