CH 1: REUNION

It has been a year after Lloyd and his friend saved the world from Mithos. They haven't seen each other since. But Sheena devises a plan to get them all back together. She invites them all to a short, two day vacation in Flanoir. She is really only doing this to see Lloyd again, but it would be suspicious if she just invited him. She sent out the invitations and the entire group arrives. Even Kratos, who got there by unexplainable means. When the group got there, they all met in the inn.

"Hey everybody." Sheena greeted everyone as they came in. They said hi to each other and sat down by the fireplace. "So what are you all up too?"

"Well me and Collette are getting married." said the calm Zelos. He was no longer a pervert and he became very modest. Scary, huh?

Everybody half-screamed, "What?" they were all astonished at the fact of the most unlikely pair.

"After me and Lloyd found out that Yuan had his men gather all the Exspheres, I traveled around the world searching for you guys. I found Zelos first and eventually he ended up proposing. But enough about us. What about you guys?" Collette has obviously matured quite a bit, so has many of the others.

"Raine and I are still trying to end world racism." Genis' voice had changed and he got taller.

"I am currently the president of Derris Kharlan. The angels decided that our government would be a democracy." Kratos didn't change much at all, but he was eyeing Raine every once in a while.

"I have just been working with my dad in the shop." Lloyd had grown his hair out and it look somewhat like his dad's. he also didn't have his swords with him. On the inside, he had become less oblivious and more mature. The craftsmanship had also given him slightly larger muscles. Sheena couldn't take her eyes off of him.

"Me and Presea have been working at the Lorenzo company. She is a security guard." Regal no longer had his shackles on, but there were scars on his wrists. Presea had shown emotion and is starting to be less, grown up. Her body was changing, too.

"I am currently mayor of Mizuho." Sheena was no longer wearing her assasin outfit. Instead she was wearing her "successor" outfit with out the blade on the back. Everyday she had grown to miss Lloyd more and more. Her body had matured only slightly. She no longer had her hair up, instead she had it down. After talking for a few hours, the nine heroes went to bed. There were only four rooms, two beds per room. Collette went with Zelos. Raine with Genis. Kratos with Regal. Presea had her own room. Sheena bunked with Lloyd.

"I'm going to change in the bathroom Lloyd."

"Ok. I'll change in here." Lloyd started to change into his pajamas. Sheena went into the bathroom to change. Instead she called upon Celcius quietly.

"What is it, Pact Maker?"

"I want you to cause a blizzard that will strand me and my friends in this city for at least a week."

"As you wish, Pact Maker." Celcius made a notion with her hands and then she disappeared in a small light. Sheena quickly changed into a sleeveless night gown and went back into the room, forgetting about Lloyd. As she walked in, he had no shirt on.

"Oh my! I- I'm sorry." Sheena quickly turned her head and blushed violently.

"It's alright. I don't sleep with a shirt on anyways."

"Oh. Ok." Sheena was still embarrased until she saw his physique. The work with Dirk really helped his body. He was muscular, but not too buff. Sheena headed over to her bed and started to get in.

"You're not going to bed already, are you? We've just seen each other since we split up a year ago and I want to talk. That is if it's ok with you."

"Ok. But not too long. We have to sleep some time, y'know." They sat down across from each other and talked fo a couple hours then finally went to sleep.
