This is my first Tales of Symphonia story! I hope you enjoy it! I do not own anything from Tales of Symphonia. Thank you! :)
Lloyd Irving felt like the two worlds were finally at peace. He just finnished a challenging but amazing journey with his friends. Most importantly, he saved the Chosen. In a few days Lloyd was going to start a new journey with the Chosen, Colette to collect the remaining exspheres. He was a little nervous about going on a journey with just her, but he was also excited.
"Hey Lloyd! Are you ready for your journey with Colette?" Genius said happily.
"Oh...Hey Genius...I am really excited but I've been thinking...What if it gets awkward? It's just going to be the two of us." Lloyd said honestly.
"You've actually been thinking? That's a first...Ha ha...I don't know why things would be awkward...Colette is your friend." Genius said nicely.
"I know but...what if she ends up liking me?" Lloyd said worried.
"You mean romantically?" Genis said intrigued.
"Uh...Yeah...I'm not good at talking about this stuff." Lloyd said quietly.
"Obviously...As long as you two accomplish what you need to on your journey, that's all that matters." Genius said kindly.
"You're right Genius...I'm sure everything will be fine." Lloyd said seriously.
"Of course it will...I'll miss you Lloyd! Come visit me, ok?" Genius said sadly as he gave Genius a hug.
"I will...Heh...Good luck with school and the Professor." Lloyd said smiling as he let of Genius.
"Thanks...School is a piece of cake...See ya later, Lloyd." Genius said nicely and he left Lloyd's house.
Later that night Lloyd was on his terrace and he was looking at the stars.
"Having fun?" A familar voice said from behind Lloyd.
"Sheena? What are doing here?" Lloyd said shocked as he turned around.
"I came to wish you good luck on your exsphere journey...I have faith that you and Colette will do great." Sheena said sweetly.
"Thank you...But what if we don't find all of the exspheres?" Lloyd said concerned.
"You're kidding right? You saved Sylvarant and Tethe'alla...I think you can handle finding exspheres." Sheena said kindly.
"I hope so...and I couldn't have saved the worlds without your help." Lloyd said honestly.
"Aww...It was my pleasure to help...I'm really lucky to have you as a friend." Sheena said happily.
"Heh...I appreciate that and I'm glad you're my friend too." Lloyd said smiling.
"Yeah...and I got you something." Sheena said nicely and she took out a necklace with a picture lock.
"What's this?" Lloyd said intrigued as he opened the picture lock.
"It's a picture of everyone...Now you'll have us with you wherever you go." Sheena said smiling.
"It's really nice...Thank you, Sheena." Lloyd said kindly and he put the necklace around his neck.
"You're welcome...I should probably get going...It's late." Sheena said sweetly.
"All right...See ya later." Lloyd said happily and he gave Sheena a short hug.
"Bye Lloyd...Good luck." Sheena said sadly and she left.
Lloyd sighed and went inside to get ready for bed. He didn't know exactly what the future held but he was ready to experience it with Colette.
Meanwhile at Colette's house...
"Are you sure that you want to do this exsphere journey?" Raine said concerned.
"I am Professor...I want to continue to make a difference with Lloyd." Colette said honestly.
"But what about your grandmother and father?" Raine said seriously.
"They want me to do it...It's my duty as the Chosen to help others." Colette said sweetly.
"That's true...I'm so proud of you, Colette...and I'm going to miss you." Raine said sadly.
"Thank you...I'm going to miss you too, Professor." Colette said nicely as she gave Raine a hug.
"At least you'll have Lloyd to help you...He cares about you a lot." Raine said kindly.
"Yeah...I'm happy to help him...and I should probably get some sleep." Colette said happily and then tiredly.
"Me too...I am getting sleepy...Good night Colette and good luck." Raine said smiling and she left Colette's house.
After Colette laid down in her bed, she thought about how far she has come. How she changed the worlds, impacted so many people, sacrificed her life, and how Lloyd saved her. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be who she is now. Colette knew that Lloyd deserved her help on the exsphere journey after everything that he did for her. On top of all that, Lloyd was also her friend and she was looking forward to getting to spend more time with just him. No matter what, Colette was ready to not let Lloyd down because he never gave up on her.
There's the first chapter! It's like an introduction to the exsphere journey so other chapters are going to be longer. What's going to happen on Lloyd's and Colette's journey as they collect exspheres? There will be other characters throughout the story. Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
