This is just a stupid fanfic. It should only be read by smart, open minded people, but probably no one at all. It involves the characters from Chrono Cross (which is copyright of Square, but yo, this fic ain't gonna make any money, believe you, me) and a weird "twist" of course. A previous knowledge of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross should be required, I guess, but I added a lot of made up stuff and real life non-made up stuff. All I ask is that you don't flame me, cause flames aren't worth ANYONE'S time. : 9

It hadn't been a good day for Mias.
School had been rough and even though it WAS her last year, it was tougher than ever. She sighed, plopping herself on her bed, and thought for awhile. Life was as mindless as ever-- a love/hate relationship with her female school chums, a _completely_ d.o.a. love life and preperations for college in the fall driving her bonkers...
"Mias!!!" Her mom screamed from the kitchen (...as she ALWAYS did, maybe she was to lazy to talk to Mias face=to-face?) "I'm going to work. If you're hungry, go and make something to eat for dinner. Remember to get your uniform clothes from the laundry room for tomorrow. Bye!"
"Okay! (Whatever...)" Mias cried, in reply, changing into her winter flanels. "Bye!"
She put her stupid khaki and white button up shirt from her uniform in the dirty clothes hamper. Hearing the noise of a car driving off, Mias grabbed herself a drink and turned on her beloved Playstation. It was time for some Chrono Cross. She loaded up her saved game and sighed again. Life had been like this ever since school started again... Hella boring. Her best friend in the world was three hours away, and all Mias had left was her computer, her acoustic guitar (which was missing it's 6th string) and her Playstation...
"Well..." Mias smirked, glancing at her eMachines computer, "Since it'll take, like, an hour to load my game, I might as well check my spam mail." She loaded up both systems at the same time, as she usually did, and stared at her room-- her life... her empty, EMPTY life...
"For crissakes...even The Sims have more life living alone than I do here." She stiffled a laugh, but stopped as soon as she heard a loud crack of thunder from outside. "What the fuck... rain? Weather is so throwed..." She struggled to turn off her computer, but a sharp strike of lightning caused all the lights to go out. "Damn it!" Mias shouted. "There goes my stupid modem, I bet!"
She bit her lip, aggrivated, and folded her arms. "Candles, candles, where the hell are all the mother fuckin candles?!!!" She cried, running around her room. Before she could do anything else, a bright light appeared, filling her whole room. She looked, confused, then shielded her eyes.
"OWwwwWW!!!!" Mias cried, falling onto the ground. She stood up and looked around. "Am I dead...? Whoaaaa..... Loooooose Againnnn...." She blinked a few times, then looked around. Her surroundings looked exactly like the End of Time like on Chrono Trigger. "This is weird..."
"Mias. Is that you?" A voice said. She looked over and saw him... he had on the hat and everything.
"That's me... hey... you're the guy, Gasper, like on Chrono Trigger. I love that game!" She said, excitedly. "Lucca, dude, is Lucca here too? And Frog?"
"Yes, yes, I know, I know... just like the characters from Chrono Cross, too, eh?" he replied. "Do you enjoy that game also?" He looked up at her with his shallow eyes.
Mias scratched her head nervously, "Well, I haven't really gotten that far. I'm still chasing around Komodo Dragons for Leena. That part really aggrivates me. So, ya mind tellin me what's goin on? I mean, it's nice small talk and all but... y'know..."
He cleared his throat a few times. "You've been chosen to save the world of Chrono Cross. Only you will know it of that name. Others will just know it as 'the world' " He said calmly. "Here. Look at yourself." He snapped his fingers and a mirror appeared.
"I..uhm..." Mias looked, "Hey... look at me! Yea!" She smiled. "I'm all pretty! And I have a tight backpack! Tight!!" She did the mandatory anime peace sign. "Wow... I was chosen first for once. That feels good. Thanks." She smiled, looking around. "So... no Epoch?"
"You'll have to gain friends to help you." He said. "The world of Chrono Cross does got recieve the Epoch."
"Waitasec. What happens when I'm done?" Mias said, afraid.
"You will be able to choose which world you want to stay in, Mias." he said. She smiled.
"Bodacious..." She nodded her head. "Hey... a sword! Wow..."
"There's some extra knowledge in that head of your's I have added. It'll come in handy on the long road." He said. "When it is time, we will meet again." He pointed his cane at her.
"Thanks!" She smiled, gripping the handle of her sword.
"Look ahead..." Gasper said, creating a gate with his hand. Before Mias realizied it, she was falling again...
Mias collapsed onto a beach. Spitting mouthfuls of sand from her mouth, she looked around, confused. "Uhm... a beach. Nice...erm..." There was coral and water, and sand, of course...
'So this is what a beach looks like,' She smiled, "Nice. Well, time to go..." So, she took off, casually running. Seeing a sign, it read that she just passed Opassa Beach.
"Hey... this is where Serge was suppose ta meet Leena after he collected all fifteen million of those scales.." Mias shrugged and kept walking. A huge shadow caught her attention...
"There are.... huge freakin monsters here!" She shouted. She started running as fast as she could, trying to avoid the monsters. "Man... they're chasin me... this is like a bad movie!" She puffed, continuing to run until the monsters stopped and turned around to their resting spot.
She continued walking.
Mias sighed with relief when she ran into the sight of a town. Smiling, she walked into it and looked up to read the sign.
"Ter...mi...na." Mias said, confused. The sign's letters were hard to read.. like some foriegn language... Overhearing several townspeople, there was talk of a Festival... plus a revolt and a worldly disaster...
"Hey you!" A man shouted at a child, "Get out of my way!" The child froze with fear as the man took out a huge ax...
"Hey! Stupid jerk!" Mias cried, pulling the child out of the way, "The kid doesn't know any better, there's no need to chop off his head!"
"Woman! You dare defy a man of the Acacia Dragoons?!" The man cried.
"Hells YEAH!" Mias shouted, holding her sword tightly. "Only when they're jerks like YOU!" But in the back of her head, 'What's an Acacia Dragoon?'
"Woman! You must be given a lesson then!" The man shouted, pointing a very huge ax at her.
"Bring it on!" Mias pulled out her sword.
He ran at her with a huge ax in his hand. Mias rolled underneath the blade and struck at him with her sword. It sliced him deeply in his thigh. He started at the wound and used his hand to try and stop the blood. Mias smirked. The man bit his lip, held his wound and ran off. Mias smiled happily, her skillz were something else. Maybe she really was chosen to save this world...
"Miss, I must thank ye for saving me daughter." A woman bowed. A huge crowd had formed and Mias could feel her face turning red and she smiled (^_^*).
"Uhm, I'm just glad she wasn't hurt." Mias sighed, scratching her head nervously.
"Miss lady, here." The little girl handed her a small flower.
"Aw, thanks, kid..." Mias smiled, patting her on the head. "I appreciate it. Later." Mias walked off, feeling all gooey inside. She hadn't ever saved anyone's life before.
Walking around, she saw posters for a music festival and other booths open. But... no one that looked tight enough to join her party.
"...What do you expect from such royal, prehistoric pains like Knights, though." A soldier was talking to another.
"Yeah.. the worst, I've heard is this guy Glenn. He's got a hard head and a hot temper." His friend replied.
'Mental note." Mias thought, 'Stay away from Knights named Glenn.'
A huge explosion got her attention. Looking up, she jumped out of the way of a huge bomb.
"You! I have brought back some of my friends to exact revenge! Everyone must know to respect the leaders of the world!" It was the man from before!
"Bring it on, then!" Mias shouted. "You might defeat me, but at what priiiiiiiice?!"
"She's insane!" Voices from the crowd cried. "She'll be dead for sure!" "We'll ALL be dead!"
'Gotta prove myself..." Mias chanted mentally, 'Gotta prove I can save the world..."
Mias pulled out her sword. "This is really dumb!" She cried at the man. "But..."
She stood still, feeling the engery from her ball-chain necklace... 'An element?'
"Inferno 2+!" She cried. The blast was massive, knocking off the man and blasting him with his own weapon...
The man clenched his teeth. "What is your name, so that... I can remember...to kill you later..."
"It's Mias." She smirked. "What's yours?"
"Karsh." He hobbled off.
Mias sat down on a stoop and sighed. She was tired... Termina was turning out to be more hostile than she had originally thought. Mias was hoping that everyone here was more like the woman and child than like... Karsh.
"...I promise I'll buy flowers next time I arrive, ma'am." A male voice said. Mias looked down and saw ... a really hot guy talking to an older woman, who was selling flowers.
'Tight... check out that scar.' She smiled, 'Mias loves knights...'
"Glenn, thank you so much..." The woman responded. "I always know I can count on you..."
"Whoaa..." Mias whispered, "That's that dude Glenn... hey now... this is getting interesting."
He started to leave, but Mias followed, discreetly. Maybe he knew more to this whole crazy world thing.
She started following him as he walked through the forest. She watched him fight and he had amazing form. Occasionally she had to peek behind trees whenever he turned around...
He walked underground into the gates of a huge mansion.... She continued following him until he walked through a part that was heavily guarded. Looking around, she climbed up a tree and into a second story window.
"A jester!" Mias lifted an eyebrow. She was surprised to see such a person there, but the jester in red was in a deep sleep. Mias walked out of the room and into the hallway. There, she saw Glenn again, and followed him. He walked into a dining area, she she snuck into the kitchen.
A guy in a white coat with a red kerchief was washing dishes until he saw her sneak in.
"Miss... can I help you with something?" He smiled. She held his mouth closed and hid him behind the sink.
"Shhh!" She looked around, "You wanna blow my cover?" He shook his head 'no'. "Good. Now, get back to work, slacker." She winked at him. He looked at her, dazed. He was the only person in there.
"Uhm...er...ah.." He stuttered. She held a finger over her lips. He seemed to not care she was in there, so she looked around casually. "Are you hungry, ma'am? We're serving the Dragoons right now but..."
"I'm always hungry." She smiled. "But right now, I'm watching someone."
"Okay." he said softly, and started back at washing dishes. She looked at him obsevantly.
"I like your hat." She smiled. "Lemme guess, it's suppose to match your personality." He blushed and shrugged, smiling. She saw Glenn get out of his seat and leave. "I've gotta go now, nice talking to you." The dishwashing boy watched her go... secretly wishing she'd come back.
Mias followed him into the bedroom of the Acacia Dragoons and hid under a bed so that he wouldn't see her. As soon as he turned around, she hid behind him.
"Miss, could you please tell me why you keep following me." Glenn turned around and stared at her. She scratched her head nervously.
"Uhm... because you led me to a cool place like this?" Mias said, smiling nervously. "And ...uhm.. I like your.. uhm... face?" He stifled a short laugh.
"Follow someone else around then." He hissed. "I don't have time for the likes of you."
She folded her arms as he walked away from her.
"People in this world sure are mean." She snickered under her breath. She stuck her hands in her pockets and walked off. Glenn turned around and watched her walk off silently. He shrugged, then walked the opposite way.
"Okay." Mias stood outside Viper Manor and thought about her problem. "I'm here. And, like, everyone's all mean. Maybe they don't deserve to be saved by someone like me. But I'm being given a second chance to make a life that isn't so throwed."
"Ooh la laa! A new life, mon ami?" A voice chirped. Mias looked up and saw the red jester from before (only awake this time).
"Who... who are you?" Mias took a step back.
"I am Harlequinn. Your story intrigues moi."
"I'm Mias." She smiled, "Really? Thanks."
"Why don't you tell moi more." Harle smiled, leading her back to her room.
"I'm glad to finally meet someone here that isn't trying to kill me or bein a prick." Mias smiled, sitting down in one of the red velvet chairs. "Hey, do you know that guy Glenn here?"
"Oui." Harle smiled, handing Mias a cup of coffee. "He does not talk to us much. Just like a Dragoon."
"I see." Mias sighed. "He seems 110% a jerk. Too bad... he's really hot." She leaned on her elbow.
"Ooh?" Harle lifted an eyebrow, "I suppose so. He iz not very popular with the people here becaize of hiz attitude."
"Cause he's meeeean!" Mias explained. "Mean people are just so... mean, y'know?" Harle giggled and nodded.
The two girls shared a sip of coffee.
"Miaz, you may rest in here tonite, az to avoid suzpicion." Harle pointed to the couch and Mias nodded and smiled warmly.
"Thanks, Harle, I really appreciate it."
A loud noise in the middle of the night woke Mias up. Harle must have heard it too, since the jester ran to the window. Mias grabbed her sword and slipped on her shoes. "Harle, what the hell was that?!"
"A monster! Mias...!" Harle looked at her. Mias started climbing down the window.
"Moses smell the roses..." She gasped "Let's go!" Mias cried, climbing down the tree. Harle followed immediately.
They ran to the front of the mansion and spotted the huge monster tearing up the front. A huge line of Dragoons (including Karsh!) were attempting to fight the monster, but were failing mizerably. Mias ran to it, stopping a safe distance away.
"Miaz! It'z... huge!" Harle cried, surprised. "We'll be dead for sure if we attempt to fight it!"
"Damn it, they aren't fighting it right! They're using the wrong elements!" Mias hissed. "Harle! Equipt some Red and White elements! We're gonna go finish this thing!"
Harle nodded and did as she was told. "I am crazy for having zo much faith in you..."
"Yo! Monster! Look over here!" Mias cried. It roared and ran towards her. "Meteor Shower!" Mias cried, watching the attack take place. 'This is unreal! Just like playing the game!'
"Volcano!" Harle cried. It struck the monster, knocking it into the Manor. "Miaz, now what?"
"We use our regular attacks!" She unsheathed her sword and sliced the monster as Harle threw her knives.
As Mias landed, the monster turned into black ash and dispersed.
"Jeez.." Mias sighed, falling on one knee after defeating the monster threatning Viper Manor.
Harle wiped off her forehead.
"It's you! That woman!" A familiar voice shouted. Karsh...
"Oh shit..." Mias hissed. "Harle, let's go!"
"Oui oui!!!" Harle cried, running after her.
--===--
The inn the two girls stayed in was nice, but the paranoia of being caught still lingered on their minds. "What town is this again?" Mias asked softly, combing her hair.
"I'm not sure..." Harle shrugged. "C'mon, let'z go, mon ami." Mias nodded, and they walked out of the inn.
"I will buy us some breakfast!" Harle exclaimed happily, turning her back.
But a soon as she did, ropes tangled her! "Harle!!!" Mias shouted, but the Meteor Shower attack was thrown in front of her.
"Stay back! This is just a warning not to mess with our plans again!" A husky voice shouted.
"Miaz!!!" Harle cried through the attack. "Miazzz....."
Her voice faded away, and she was gone. Mias stood there, in awe of the situation, as passerbys stared at her...
"What?! Who was that?" She cried, wanting answers. Everyone stared at her, frightened...
"Lynx!" Someone shouted.
"Lynx?!" Mias stood there... confused... "Lynx...."

This is just a stupid fanfic. It should only be read by smart, open minded people, but probably no one at all. It involves the characters from Chrono Cross (which is copyright of Square, but yo, this fic ain't gonna make any money, believe you, me) and a weird "twist" of course. A previous knowledge of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross should be required, I guess, but I added a lot of made up stuff and real life non-made up stuff. All I ask is that you don't flame me, cause flames aren't worth ANYONE'S time. : 9

It hadn't been a good day for Mias.
School had been rough and even though it WAS her last year, it was tougher than ever. She sighed, plopping herself on her bed, and thought for awhile. Life was as mindless as ever-- a love/hate relationship with her female school chums, a _completely_ d.o.a. love life and preperations for college in the fall driving her bonkers...
"Mias!!!" Her mom screamed from the kitchen (...as she ALWAYS did, maybe she was to lazy to talk to Mias face=to-face?) "I'm going to work. If you're hungry, go and make something to eat for dinner. Remember to get your uniform clothes from the laundry room for tomorrow. Bye!"
"Okay! (Whatever...)" Mias cried, in reply, changing into her winter flanels. "Bye!"
She put her stupid khaki and white button up shirt from her uniform in the dirty clothes hamper. Hearing the noise of a car driving off, Mias grabbed herself a drink and turned on her beloved Playstation. It was time for some Chrono Cross. She loaded up her saved game and sighed again. Life had been like this ever since school started again... Hella boring. Her best friend in the world was three hours away, and all Mias had left was her computer, her acoustic guitar (which was missing it's 6th string) and her Playstation...
"Well..." Mias smirked, glancing at her eMachines computer, "Since it'll take, like, an hour to load my game, I might as well check my spam mail." She loaded up both systems at the same time, as she usually did, and stared at her room-- her life... her empty, EMPTY life...
"For crissakes...even The Sims have more life living alone than I do here." She stiffled a laugh, but stopped as soon as she heard a loud crack of thunder from outside. "What the fuck... rain? Weather is so throwed..." She struggled to turn off her computer, but a sharp strike of lightning caused all the lights to go out. "Damn it!" Mias shouted. "There goes my stupid modem, I bet!"
She bit her lip, aggrivated, and folded her arms. "Candles, candles, where the hell are all the mother fuckin candles?!!!" She cried, running around her room. Before she could do anything else, a bright light appeared, filling her whole room. She looked, confused, then shielded her eyes.
"OWwwwWW!!!!" Mias cried, falling onto the ground. She stood up and looked around. "Am I dead...? Whoaaaa..... Loooooose Againnnn...." She blinked a few times, then looked around. Her surroundings looked exactly like the End of Time like on Chrono Trigger. "This is weird..."

"You'll have to gain friends to help you." He said. "The world of Chrono Cross does got recieve the Epoch."
"Waitasec. What happens when I'm done?" Mias said, afraid.

"Ooh la laa! A new life, mon ami?" A voice chirped. Mias looked up and saw the red jester from before (only awake this time).
"Who... who are you?" Mias took a step back.
"I am Harlequinn. Your story intrigues moi."
"I'm Mias." She smiled, "Really? Thanks."
"Why don't you tell moi more." Harle smiled, leading her back to her room.
"I'm glad to finally meet someone here that isn't trying to kill me or bein a prick." Mias smiled, sitting down in one of the red velvet chairs. "Hey, do you know that guy Glenn here?"
"Oui." Harle smiled, handing Mias a cup of coffee. "He does not talk to us much. Just like a Dragoon."
"I see." Mias sighed. "He seems 110% a jerk. Too bad... he's really hot." She leaned on her elbow.
"Ooh?" Harle lifted an eyebrow, "I suppose so. He iz not very popular with the people here becaize of hiz attitude."
"Cause he's meeeean!" Mias explained. "Mean people are just so... mean, y'know?" Harle giggled and nodded.
The two girls shared a sip of coffee.
"Miaz, you may rest in here tonite, az to avoid suzpicion." Harle pointed to the couch and Mias nodded and smiled warmly.
"Thanks, Harle, I really appreciate it."
A loud noise in the middle of the night woke Mias up. Harle must have heard it too, since the jester ran to the window. Mias grabbed her sword and slipped on her shoes. "Harle, what the hell was that?!"
"A monster! Mias...!" Harle looked at her. Mias started climbing down the window.
"Moses smell the roses..." She gasped "Let's go!" Mias cried, climbing down the tree. Harle followed immediately.
They ran to the front of the mansion and spotted the huge monster tearing up the front. A huge line of Dragoons (including Karsh!) were attempting to fight the monster, but were failing mizerably. Mias ran to it, stopping a safe distance away.
"Miaz! It'z... huge!" Harle cried, surprised. "We'll be dead for sure if we attempt to fight it!"
"Damn it, they aren't fighting it right! They're using the wrong elements!" Mias hissed. "Harle! Equipt some Red and White elements! We're gonna go finish this thing!"
Harle nodded and did as she was told. "I am crazy for having zo much faith in you..."
"Yo! Monster! Look over here!" Mias cried. It roared and ran towards her. "Meteor Shower!" Mias cried, watching the attack take place. 'This is unreal! Just like playing the game!'
"Volcano!" Harle cried. It struck the monster, knocking it into the Manor. "Miaz, now what?"
"We use our regular attacks!" She unsheathed her sword and sliced the monster as Harle threw her knives.
As Mias landed, the monster turned into black ash and dispersed.
"Jeez.." Mias sighed, falling on one knee after defeating the monster threatning Viper Manor.
Harle wiped off her forehead.
"It's you! That woman!" A familiar voice shouted. Karsh...
"Oh shit..." Mias hissed. "Harle, let's go!"
"Oui oui!!!" Harle cried, running after her.

The inn the two girls stayed in was nice, but the paranoia of being caught still lingered on their minds. "What town is this again?" Mias asked softly, combing her hair.
"I'm not sure..." Harle shrugged. "C'mon, let'z go, mon ami." Mias nodded, and they walked out of the inn.
"I will buy us some breakfast!" Harle exclaimed happily, turning her back.
But a soon as she did, ropes tangled her! "Harle!!!" Mias shouted, but the Meteor Shower attack was thrown in front of her.
"Stay back! This is just a warning not to mess with our plans again!" A husky voice shouted.
"Miaz!!!" Harle cried through the attack. "Miazzz....."
Her voice faded away, and she was gone. Mias stood there, in awe of the situation, as passerbys stared at her...
"What?! Who was that?" She cried, wanting answers. Everyone stared at her, frightened...
"Lynx!" Someone shouted.
"Lynx?!" Mias stood there... confused... "Lynx...."
