Chapter 04:

"Amore del Setzer per lei"

*General point of view*

"What do you mean!?" Locke slammed down his drink on the table.

"She.. She just disappeared."

"What do you mean?" Locke asked again.

Setzer sighed and played around with his hair.

Celes looked up at Setzer with worry. "Shouldn't we do something?"

"What is there to do?" Setzer asked.

"Well.."

"What can we do?" Setzer raised his index finger a little, ordering another round. He took out his cards and played Solitaire.

Edgar sat up from his chair and stretched. "Not much we can do.. I'll check the area if there is any sort of evidence."

The waitress held on to Edgar's arm. "Please don't go so soon."

Edgar touched her face gently. "I must leave for the time being. Stay pretty for me."

------------------------

Edgar plodded around the small forest clearing. Where could she have gone...

He put his hand on the ground, thinking he would feel something like a trap door.

"OOOooOOoOOOOOooooo.." A wild voice screamed from behind him.

"Who the hell--" Edgar jumped up to his feet. There was Gau standing behind him. "Oh.. Gau.. Don't do that. You scared me half to death!"

"Gau sorry, sorry. Gau want to help find Terra."

"Thats not needed Gau. I have this under control."

Gau ignored Edgar and started to sniff the air. Catching something, he spun around and around. "GAUUUUU FIND TERRA!"

"What!? You did!?"

Gau sniffed the air again. "Gau wrong.. Terra's smell only."

That could still be used. "Where!? Where did you find--"

Gau walked over to where the portal was opened.

Edgar walked over and touched the ground. "It's warm.."

------------------------

*Setzer's point of view*

I've been wallowing in my whiskey for too long. I've been losing to the thief.. How can I lose in Poker? And to the thief no less.

He's laughing at the moves that I make, but I can't help it. Something else is on my mind. Someone else.

I never really talked to her much during our great adventure. I never really said anything important to her. Just a simple "hi" and "wanna play poker?" every now and then..

I guess it was just her determination to live right. To know the "day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life and love."

It's all just so familiar.

Where is she? Is she safe?

Il mio amore per voi. Certamente รจ amore.

Sorry for the short as hell chapter, but I don't want you all to think this is a Setzer/Terra fic.. It kinda is and it kinda isn't.. Just wait for the next chapter.
