Me: Chapter two of my fourth story! Geez, I have too many going…

Lloyd: Didn't we establish this last chapter?

Me: …So what?

Lloyd: Never mind… Hey, where is everyone?

Me: Hiding from m- I mean… I have no idea!

Lloyd: Riiiiiiight… Anyways, what was up with that last chapter? I get the feeling you…

Me: SHUT. UP.

Lloyd: EEP! Why are you so mean?

Me: Well, you never tried being nice to me, so we're even.

Lloyd: O.O YOU MEAN I JUST HAD TO BE NICE TO YOU THIS WHOLE TIME?!

Me: Hey, don't yell at me! That's the way I work.

Lloyd: Uh… Um… Wow. Maybe I should tell-

Me: No, I want them to find out on their own.

Lloyd: Ok. Myra only owns herself and the plot. Geez, that still sounds weird…


-Chapter Two: Receiving the Oracle-

We went through the transporter beam. Oh, I couldn't help it! So I went last, and said "BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!" Geez, I have to watch my sugar intake. So anyway, we went up to find the Cruxis Crystal on a dais. Colette and Lloyd had a little conversation, but I couldn't hear. Then, oh my gosh… I had to stop myself from either flipping off or killing Remiel. I HATE THAT FREAK. He gave Colette the Oracle.

"We angels of Cruxis bless this event, and bestow the Tower of Salvation upon Sylvarant." No, you just dropped a giant Tomato on my head. More like you turned off the cloaking device! Remiel began to leave.

"Ah... Wait! Please wait!" Colette called. "Are you really my fa-"

"Go to the next seal that lies in the desert. Is that clear? My beloved daughter, Colette."

"No, he's- a banana." I had to stop myself from saying the truth by using sarcasm.

"What?" Lloyd blinked.

"Sarcasm, idiot." I was angry at myself for almost blowing it, so I accidentally called him an idiot.

"What did you say?!" Lloyd whispered.

"Shut up! This is supposed to be a holy event!" I scolded. At that moment, Remiel left. Lloyd gave me a death glare, then went over to talk to everybody. Oh boy, what would I say? I had just insulted him because of my stupid temper… I guess the least I could do was apologize. He came over to me.

"Oh, uh, sorry about what just happened… I get pretty snappy sometimes and I call my sister an idiot too much." I blushed.

"It's ok." Lloyd smiled. "I can act a little rashly too."

"So… All's good and well?" I returned his smile.

"Yeah. I accept your apology." Lloyd nodded.

"Great!" My smile widened. "Hey, uh… I know this is sudden, but do you think we can be friends? I mean… Ever since I left home… I don't have any friends anymore." I frowned. All of my friends were so fun to be with, and well, Lloyd was almost like all of them wrapped in one cute little package. OH, WHAT AM I SAYING! BAD MYRA!

"Well, sure!" Lloyd smiled. "Having no friends at all is bad enough, but being with other people too? I'd get a little uncomfortable if I were in your situation."

"Yeah." I nodded. "But I'm actually a little used to being left out. I'd always get picked last in games and such…" I frowned again.

"Well, that settles it!" Lloyd smiled. "I won't let you get left out anymore!" I stared at him in shock. Here I had just called him an idiot, and now he offers me the one thing I've always wanted. Just to belong… somewhere… "So, what do you say?" Lloyd held out his hand. I smiled and shook it.

"We'll be going ahead." Kratos stepped on the warp pad and disappeared. Colette did the same.

"Well, we should get going." I told Lloyd. "After all, we want to make it back before nightfall, eh?"

"Right." Lloyd nodded. "Let's go, Genis!"

"Beam me... er... down, Scotty!" I smiled as I stepped on the warp pad. I immediately re-appeared at the ground floor.

"Who's Scotty?" Lloyd asked as he appeared.

"Inside joke. You wouldn't get it." I shook my head. Just then, we heard something.

"MARVELOUS!" A voice came from the dead-end part of the temple.

"We gotta go." I snatched Lloyd and Genis' wrists and pulled them out the temple doors.

"But that sound..." Lloyd mumbled.

"Believe me, WE GOTTA GO." I repeated. I didn't want to see the two of them get hurt by Raine. After a long stride out of the temple, we finally made it out and back to town.

"Let's go meet up with Colette." I suggested. "She should probably be at home, right?"

"Yeah." Lloyd nodded. "It's this way." We made our way over to Colette's house and went inside. They were already talking about the journey.

"Very well then. We shall entrust the protection of the Chosen to Kratos, Raine, and Myraku." The mayor summed up.

"Thank you so much!" Colette chirped as we walked in the door.

"Ah, don't mention it." I smiled. "Hey, was somebody talking about me?" I looked around the room.

"We were just finishing deciding who would go on the journey." Kratos nodded.

"Ah, I see. And you want me to go?" I asked. "…I'd be more than happy to."

"That settles it then." The mayor nodded.

"What about us?" Lloyd asked pointing to Genis and himself.

"You'll only get in the way." Kratos snapped.

"Lloyd, the journey is going to be a terrible and frightening thing… And I don't think you can handle it." I looked down. "I'm sorry, but I'd rather not have you dead."

"Now please leave!" The mayor snapped. Racist loser…

Colette went outside and I decided to follow.

"Wait! Please wait!" She called. Suddenly, she tripped over, but I caught her before she hit the ground. "Ah! Um… Thanks." She blushed as she brushed the dirt off her clothes.

"Don't mention it." I smirked. Well, to make a long story short, I was feeling guilty because…

"Oh yeah! Happy Birthday, Colette!" Well, that. I had nothing to give her. "I baked you some cookies." Genis smiled as he handed Colette a platter full of cookies. I zoned out for a while, imagining what I could have given her.

"See you later!" Colette called as she waved. I snapped back to reality.

"Oh, Colette…" I frowned. "I'm sorry. I came on such short notice, I didn't really have time to get you anything…"

"It's ok." Colette smiled. "After all, we just met."

"Yeah, you're right." I smiled back as I nodded. "But… I'm a pretty good singer. I could sing for you if you want."

"Could you?" Colette's face lit up. "That would be lovely!"

"Ok…" I sighed as I warmed up for 'Fake Wings' by .hack--SIGN Remember, I don't have a perfect script in my brain, so I had to say something that sounded like the real song.

"Shite, bright morning light, now in the air the spring is calling.

Sweet, blowing wind, singing down the hills and valleys.

Keeeep your resume, now we 'round the edge of Hell.

Dear my love, sweet morning light, wait for me you've gone much farther, to fiiiiiiiiiiiight…

Shite, bright morning light, now in the air the spring is calling.

Sweet, blowing wind, singing down the hills and valleys.

Keeeep your resume, now we 'round the edge of Hell.

Dear my love, sweet morning light, wait for me you've gone much farther, to fiiiiiiiiiiiight…" I ended and noticed Colette was deeply into it. "Oh, uh... It's kinda over..."

"That was beautiful." Colette smiled. "I've never heard anything like it!"

"Oh, uh... Thanks." I blushed. "Anyways, see ya at dawn tomorrow?"

"Ok!" Colette chirped. "I'm sure we'll be good friends."

"Yeah." I nodded. "Pals..." Then, I noticed I had nowhere to sleep. I decided I should see if Lloyd could spare a space. I walked up the trail, smashing up other monsters that Lloyd didn't take out. I eventually came outside of Dirk's house. I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Lloyd asked as he opened the door. "Oh, Myraku!"

"Just call me Myra." I smiled. "I was wondering if you could spare a place to stay? I mean, the Inn is full and all..."

"Oh, I see. Alright." Lloyd smiled.

"I don't need a bed or anything. I suppose I'm a little used to sleeping on the floor." I gave a small chuckle.

"Alright." Lloyd nodded. "In that case, there's plenty of room."

"Thank you." I gave a small bow. "You are very kind."

"Don't mention it." Lloyd smiled.


Me: Well, that was fun.

Lloyd: You're staying at MY place?!

Me: Well, would you like me to throw a slumber party at one of the girl's house?

Lloyd: You do have a point…

Doopliss: YES! I am no longer a Meepit!

Me: Yay! Doopie!! You're ok!

Doopliss: Doopie…? I think I'm ok…

Lloyd: Uh… Whatever. Is everyone else still hiding?

Rayman: Kratos, do you think it's safe?

Kratos: It's never safe from her.

Rayman: You have a point…

Me: AHA! You two, out of the closet!

Rayman: AGH! She found us! Now what?!

Kratos: Escape to another dimension?

Rayman: Yeah! Follow me!

Me: Oh no… Which dimension will they pick? Anyways, REVIEW!
