Mei- Okay.Get this straight. I made this chapter a crapload of a long time ago, I was just too lazy/forgot to put it up, so here you go. Now, reading over this cappie, I find that it's not very good, very funny, or romantic, so sue meh.
Kratos- YES! SUE HER FOR ALL THE PAIN SHE HAS CAUSED ME!
Presea- ...He was not assigned the duty of 'muse'. Shall I kick him out?
Mei- Yes, please.
Presea- :does so:
Lloyd- ...I can almost imagine what that footprint would look like on his butt.
Regal- ...Yes, that would indeed not be a pleasant sight.
Mei- -.-u On with the traditional crap, please?
WARNINGS: Come on, this is rated T. USE YOUR DANG IMAGINATION.
Presea- Tales of Symphonia does not belong to Scarlet Kratos. Neither do I, or Genis, thank you very much.
Mei- ...You just want him to yourself... :growl:
Presea- ...
Mei- Okay, okay, whateva. Let's just get started.
oOoOo
Chapter 1: When Zelos Got SERVED
"...Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Are we there yet?"
"Goddammit, NO!"
Colette, Lloyd, Presea, Genis, and Sheena vaguely watched their exchange of 'friendly' conversation. Regal had a vein throbbing in his temple, but otherwise he gave no sign of listening to Zelos and Kratos' chat. Raine had fallen asleep, her head limply falling onto Kratos' shoulder.
However, with the fact that Kratos' voice had risen to shout, the professor's eyes flickered open. She yawned and removed her head from the vicnity of him.
"Come on, when are we going to be there?" Zelos bawled and whined like an idiot, but no one really cared to answer him except for the enraged angel.
"I don't know, maybe nine o'clock?" Kratos replied, trying quite successfully to keep his temper down.
"No, more like eleven, because all of these forsaken traffic jams." Regal muttered out of the corner of his mouth, his hand gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles flushed a pearly white.
"ELEVEN!" Zelos screamed. "What about our food?"
Two simultaneous smacks could be heard from the back and more squeals of pain followed. Finally, Colette and Sheena said at the same time,
"Pipe down."
Lloyd looked as though he was being suffocated; he was trying that hard not to laugh.
"Besides, we'll eat later. It's only six o'clock." Genis said casually, leaning back on his seat. Zelos looked murderous.
"Oh, quit it. You're ruining this trip for everyone." Sheena snapped, whipping her hand out again. Zelos stared at her weapon in terror, keeping his lips tightly shut.
"She's sure right about that..." Raine muttered to Kratos, who nodded darkly in agreement.
"Perhaps we should engage in the activity of keeping Zelos busy?" Presea asked to no one in particular.
"That might work. But... With what?" Genis glanced over at the former ax-wielder, who was lost in deep thought.
"Before we had left Symphonia... Life there was so nice." Colette sighed, going completely off-topic. But then she swerved back on again. "Back there, all we had to do was go to the beach and Zelos wouldn't be so annoying."
"Heh, and we all know why." Sheena gazed at Zelos, who chuckled.
"What? Hot babes all around me in bikinis; how could I not be in heaven?"
"Ugh, you haven't changed a bit, I see."
"...I have an idea, but I am afraid it is a brutal one." Presea said slowly.
"Brutal? We need that." Lloyd replied, looking anxious for the answer.
"I suppose we could do it... But is it possibly the best thing to do?"
"Please tell us what you mean." Colette urged.
Presea waved them all to come closer, but Sheena pushed Zelos back with her hand as she leaned toward her.
"Well... We must..." Any words beyond that had drifted off into a whisper. After a few seconds or so, however, Colette and Sheena had burst out in a fit of giggles and Lloyd was once again trying to prevent himself from laughing hard. Genis, however, had an evil smirk on his face.
"I'm afraid to know what's going on..." Raine sighed and leaned into the ex-seraphim, who gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Just ignore them." he advised in a soft voice. Lloyd, who had seen this activity, immediately stopped laughing and stared, wide-eyed at his old teacher and father in horror.
"Dad!" Lloyd gasped. "I-I was joking before! I didn't know you were really going out with Professor Sage!"
Kratos looked over his shoulder, his mahogany eyes hiding a bit of anger.
"Look, whoever I love is not your concern." he responded in a stern voice and looked back at Raine, who was trying to act nonchalent.
"Man, who knew?" Lloyd winced as he turned back around.
"I did. Haven't you seen them together so many times?" Genis said airily. "Anyways, come on. Let's get the plan into action!"
Within the next ten minutes, Regal, Kratos, and Raine all heard odd noises that sounded like muffled screams. Kratos twisted his head around only to gape at the actions behind him.
Colette and Sheena we struggling to wrap a long, lengthy piece of bandage around Zelos' head to cover his mouth, which seemed to be emiting the eery sounds. Genis and Lloyd kept on tossing them extra pieces of the linen material. Colette went down to work on his wrists, which she seemed be tying together. As the time passed, they were finished.
"Now that we've done it, don't you think it's a bit too, um, evil or something?" Colette, inquired, looking slightly abashed.
"I warned you it would have been brutal." Presea said, crossing her arms.
"Nah, it's fine." Lloyd said lazily and lay back in his seat, enjoying the renewed piece and quiet.
"Did you give him atleast some way to breathe?" Raine asked, turning around and kneeling so she could see.
"Yep. The bandages are thin but strong, so that he can breathe through his mouth but still can't break through it, or he can simply use his nostrils, which we left untouched." Sheena smiled.
"I have one last question - where did you exactly get the bandages?" Raine asked suspiciously.
The five looked at eachother, who all finally glanced at Lloyd... Who lifted up a small white box with a red cross on it.
"...If any of you are dying, don't look at me to help." Raine said angrily.
"Why? What does this box have?" Lloyd asked curiously.
"It's a first-aid kit. And because I am restricted from using magic in this land, I can't save you with my own power - so if you're bleeding or in intense pain, look for someone else, because there is no WAY I'll be helping anyone with a kit that has lost all of it's bandages."
"...We can simply buy more of these bandages in the next shopping centre." Presea said mildly.
"...Hmph, if you can find them."
The car hushed.
Lloyd looked around nervously, and seeing no one in partiular was eyeing him evilly - well, besides Zelos, but then again, he was giving everyone the evil eye - he decided to get some sleep.
Lloyd yawned massively and leaned his head on Genis' shoulder before drifting off.
"Martel, he always uses me as his pillow..." Genis muttered, attempting but failing to shove off the hulking mass on him.
"May I as well?" Presea asked, her eyelids slowly sneaking down.
"S-sure!" The mage blushed a deep crimson as she gently stroked his arm and leaned her head on his other shoulder.
"Aw, isn't that so cute?" Raine giggled, watching the three-some.
"Heh, looks uncomfortable." Kratos chuckled.
"Yes!" Regal whispered as to not wake up the sleeping occupants of the car. "We're out of the jam! We'll probably reach hot springs in about a few hours. In other words, at about ten o'clock."
"Excellent. One hour less of being crushed to death." Genis whispered. Raine noticed he only kept his arm slung around Presea; Lloyd got nothing.
"I thought you enjoyed that position...?" Raine looked at him questionably.
"I'd enjoy it if it was only Presea sleeping on me, not Lloyd." Genis responded tartly.
"Then why don't you get some sleep before we stop for some food?" she smiled. Genis sighed, and then looked down at his two invaders.
"How can I?" he pleaded her for an answer. "I can't sleep with my head on Presea; she's not that used to me, um... Uh, l-liking her... And can't lean on Lloyd, as he can get pretty rough when he sleeps."
"You figure it out." she replied and turned around again so that her back was to him.
Sheena leaned forward so that her head was next to Genis'.
"Choose Presea. She'd like it." the summoner giggled softly at the look of perpetual embarressment on the boy's face.
"O-okay..."
Within minutes, Genis had fallen into a restless sleep as well. Soon, Colette and Raine joined him, their heads sloping onto the nearest person's shoulder; Colette, being Zelos and Raine's Kratos. Only Sheena, Kratos, Zelos and Regal remained awake.
"Mmmmmffftt!" Zelos tried to complain, but one would notice he was delighted of being Colette's pillow.
"Oh shut up, you." Sheena muttered, smacking him hard on top of the head. Zelos slumped backward, knocked out from obvious lack of air and from the force of the hit.
Kratos himself was losing consciousness.
"Oi, Kratos." Sheena called softly from the back. Kratos slowly tilted his head back so as not to wake up the sleeping healer.
"Yes?"
"When did you and Raine first go out together? I mean, I saw you plenty of times with her, but I never knew when you two first kissed..."
"I... I'm not sure." Kratos said feverishly. "It was a long time ago, when we were back in Symphonia..."
"Ah... So it was about a year ago..." the summoner looked thoughtful.
"Somewhat longer." Kratos dare not stress anything; he did not like anyone privying into his private thoughts.
"It's best if we don't talk until we reach the nearest restaurant. We need not wake Zelos." Regal said to the two of them.
"Oh... Right. He can still be pretty loud even when he's bound up..." Sheena lay back onto her seat, using Zelos as a pillow as well. She never thought she'd be doing it, but Sheena found she rather enjoyed Zelos' company...
...When he was asleep.
Sheena giggled to herself; Zelos could be pretty nice when he wanted to, though...
The world began fading from her vision, as did Kratos'. As the time drifted ildly by, Regal was soon the only person awake. The silence pooled around him, with only the occassional grunt from the back.
Regal didn't mind. From what had happened before, this pure silence was like heaven.
oOoOo
For those of you who think there will be Zelette, BURN. Because Sheelos is an official couple and I hope you all know it.
...Well, theres's no offense to anyone, of course. :P
