Me: Hi again. I want to apologize and thank all those who read my other things before I figured out how worked! bows low to you Here is the next installment, chapter 2! >:-D

Link: Rynada sent me to tell you not to forget the disclamer and that you owe her 10 bucks for using me to tell you this

Me: Tell her I owe her a kick in the SHIN

Me: No one really reads this do they...? Hope not, or they would know about my murderous plans to kill them all...

Disclamer: Just like before, I don't own Tales of Symphonia or any of its characters

(Uh... it stars right where the other leaves off on Lloyd's P.O.V.)


To my joy, the couple had been delayed by bad weather and I got there a good fifteen minutes before them. I even had time to change into my nice clothes, on Collets request of course. I hate suits; I had almost forgotten how itchy they were. Before I could complain, the door burst open and Zelos came in with his usual flare. Marriage obviously didn't slow him down in any way. "Heeeeeey Lloyd!" he exclaimed, while giving my hand a firm shake, "Long time; no see." I gave him a big smile in return, "Not long enough!" Sheena walked in next; compared to Zelos, Sheena was almost completely different. She no longer held herself like some one who had no confidence themselves, like they weren't good enough. Her clothes were now more loose and less revealing, and compared to Zelos' gaudiness, they were quite plain. Her hair was pinned back into a loose braid. I guess opposites do attract. The little bundle in Sheena's arms began to squirm and make muffled gurgling sounds. The mother gave a big smile and unwrapped the baby from its traveling blanket.

"Oh! How cute she is!" Colette cooed, hovering over the baby. I leaned over myself, to have a look at the small bundle. She was cute, to say the least. She had her father's blazing blue eyes, but her mother's sensible chin. The perfect balance of the two…in looks anyway, hopefully she wasn't too much like her father in the attitude department. "She's only cute when she wants to be." her father added in, "Wait until something pisses her off." Sheena gently handed the baby off to Colette with a peaceful smile on her face, and then rounded on Zelos. "Don't use such language in front of our daughter!" she angrily said, while keeping her voice in an even, quiet tone. "But hunny! It's not like she can understand!" Zelos said defiantly. "Don't hunny me! And since you're the one always making her mad, I don't think you have the right to talk about her that way." Sheena forcefully said, getting in Zelos' face. Every ship needed an anchor, in Zelos' case, a really big anchor. The conversation was obviously over, because Sheena turned quickly around and walked back over to their child. "What's the name?" I asked cheerfully, trying to be rid of the tension that passed between the two. "Brianna." both answered in a loving tone. "Aw, such a cute name for such a cute baby!" Colette whispered, while holding the bundle close.

My wife…not exactly the most balanced person in the world, clumsy most would say. But when she held a child in her arms, her 'clumsiness' would just melt away. 'A born mother' Regal had once said, no one could put it better. Children grow up to fast, though, and I know she misses holding them close. I stood next to her, watching as she stared into Brianna's little face and placed my hand on her shoulder. "You're gonna have to give her back." I whispered jokingly. "Oh." she squeaked, a blush rising in her cheeks; Colette gave the baby quickly back to its mother and gave an apologetic smile. "Are your children at school?" Zelos asked suddenly. "Yes, they'll be back in the late afternoon." I answered. "Good, it would be nice to meet them all." Sheena responded, "Now where can we put our stuff?" I slapped my forehead with the heel of my palm, "Duh!" I said to my self, and then added to the guests, "Upstairs. Sorry I forgot, you'll be using Kat's room." "We don't want to put one of your children out; we can just as easily go get a room in town." Sheena said worriedly. "Don't worry; she'll just share her sister's room for a few days." Colette smiled, "No big deal. They all used to share rooms until we added another story to the house." "I thought it looked taller…" Zelos commented. I shook my head in amusement, yup Zelos was the same.

Once the baby was settled down to her nap, we all settled down to a hop cup of tea. We all knew what was coming…reminiscing. It couldn't be helped; Yggdrasil was such a big part of all our lives. He brought us together and taught us to be strong and determined in whatever we did. Even if it was the long was around. "Heh…" Zelos chuckled, "remember the first time you guys met me?" "Yeah, I couldn't stand ya…still can't, actually." I answer slyly. Colette furrows her brow, "He was nice to me…" "That's because I had already softened him up a bit by then." Sheena grins. "Believe us Colette, you are luck you're a girl and that you met him later than us." I re-assured her. "Why do you guys always act like I'm a pompous jerk and a womanizer?" Zelos whined. "Because you are." Sheena and I answer simultaneously. "Hey…that's not nice!" he pouted, sticking his bottom lip out. Colette giggled. "Not you too Colette!" Zelos cried his eyes big and wobbly with tears. Then, from upstairs the baby began to cry. "Now we've done it." Sheena feigned exasperation, "We have woken the beast."


Zelos: Thanks for reading about me, hunny!

Me: WTF:-?

Me(again): Btw, uh... I might not get the next chapter up for a while so don't wait on reading it too soon
