Disclamer and such: I don't own Tales of Symphonia or any other RPGs, however I do own my imagination, so HAH!

Chapter 1: Fun and Games in the Jungle! Er, I mean, the garden.
Lloyd and company were enjoying a wonderful autumn afternoon in the plaza of Meltokio. After a wonderful match at the Coliseum (Zelos was especially happy because he walked out 25,000 gald richer), they decided that they would rest in the sun and shop for the rest of the day. Lloyd wanted to take Colette do do a little shopping, whilst Zelos wanted to spend his newly-earned dinero on a sweet, sweet sound system. Sheena joined Zelos, and Raine went with Kratos to the open field to study the near-by monsters that roamed the plains. Regal was still at the Coliseum, practicing his sweet disco moves. They all chose to meet back at a certian time, so that they could head to Altamira for the wonderful night life.
So... that left Genis and Presea, exploring the gardens outside the palace. Like little kids normally do. oo" ...Anyway, they were having a grand time. Genis was making leaf angels in all of the golden ginko leaves, while Presea was trying with all her might to catch butterflies. Genis had never seen Presea this happy before. Actually, everyone had noticed that she had gotten much happier since she was cured.
When she would catch one, she would cup her hands, run over to Genis, and say excitedly, "I got one! I got one!"
Genis, out of curiosity, said, "Ohh! Let me see, let me see!" Presea would open her hands, and it would fly to freedom.
"No! Don't... go..." Presea cried in vain. The beautiful blue butterfly would just flutter off, unknowing that Presea wanted the creature to be pearched on her finger once more. Presea sighed and hung her head in sadness.
"Why is it that whenever I have a momentary lapse of my depression, the happiness will fade away and I will be sad once more?" She asked, staring blankly at the rocks at her feet.
"I'm sorry, Presea..." Genis sighed. Gathering all of the courage he had in his heart, he walked over and held her. Presea was, at first, shocked by the sudden reaction, but on this chilly autumn day, she soon felt his warmth and put her chin on his shoulder. ...is he going to get the wrong idea? She thought. I do not really like him... it is just cold outside. That is the only reason why I am hugging him... Right? She wondered, with a troubled expression on her face.
"It is cold out" She whispered, blankly. She pushed away from him, and then walked away. Genis stood in shock for a moment, half at what he just did, and the other half at her reaction, staring into space. He watched her walk in the distance, then he sat down and watched the golden leaves fall from the treetops. It's really cold, he thought, I wonder why it's freezing out here?
Well yeah! Thats all, folks! R and R... if you will!
