As Lloyd and Collette breathed in the cool crisp air of Iselia children swarmed around them, welcoming them back to the village that they had grown up in themselves. They had decided to take a break from their journey collecting exspheres so that Collette could see her family in town and Lloyd could visit Dirk before continuing.
From the looks of things, neither of them would get a chance to visit anyone for a while.
One child in particular immediately came running up to Lloyd, saying "Lloyd, tell us a story! Tell us a story! Please?"
Lloyd smiled at Paul "sure, I'll tell you guys a story in a little while, but first I need to take care of something. Can you hold on?"
Paul smiled back, "you bet Lloyd! Where should we wait?"
Lloyd looked at Collette and said, "how about the school? The Professor won't mind, will she? Plus, I'm sure Genis wouldn't mind a visit."
"Alright everyone, meet us at the school in one hour." Collette announced.
Around an hour and a half later, the Sage siblings walking into the story to hear Lloyd saying, "So this human ranch needs to be destroyed. What do we do?"
Then Genis joined in saying, "Blow it up!" Which made Lloyd look around to see him and laugh along with the rest of the children at their antics. Even Raine had to stifle a laugh.
"Hey Genis. Hey Professor." Lloyd said, while Collette waved.
"Hello," replied Raine, "Now I think it's time your class left, Lloyd. I have papers to grade. And they all have homework to get accomplished."
Collette nodded and began to usher the children out despite their grumbling.
"How long are you guys staying?" inquired Genis.
"We planned on leaving at dawn." replied Collette.
"As were Genis and I," Raine stated, "where are you going next?"
"Meltokio," Lloyd and Collette grinned, "to visit Zelos and Sheena."
"Perhaps we should come as well." Raine smirked.
