{Author's Note}
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
Thanks to the people who reviwed good words to me and sending me your e-mails pleading for more CC: AS! Here it is, and if you didn't want it, don't blame me, blame my great, wonderful reviwers! ^_^ The good thing about me taking si pain-stakingly long to write a chapter is that they're reeeeeealy long and badly-written. Just like a misted-movie on MST3k!
Expect more mushly ew gross lovey-dovey stuff! (Oh please, you know you love it : 9)

Mias couldn't sleep for the entire night. Thoughts of Glenn kept parading through her mind.
They almost kissed. Mias almost had her first kiss. From Glenn... of all people. She hated Glenn... wait, no she didn't. Dispised...? No way, Glenn was a respected and much loved knight. Love... Did she love Glenn?
Mias slipped out of bed, and tied on her shoes. A midnight walk was in order. She walked out of the house...
'Glenn, yeah, he's a great guy. I won't lie to myself about this. The only thing is, I don't... I don't know how he feels about ME.' She thought, walking along the water's edge. 'I like him a lot. He must like me, too, because he was the one to initiate the kiss. I've known him for so long now. So long I haven't been counting the days since I've left home...' The imagery of her home... Earth... Technology... Her family. "Home..."
Suddenly, she heard footsteps. truning around, she noticed... Glenn.
"M'lady?" Glenn said nervously walking up to her. She was staring into the waterfall with a serious expression on her face...
"Glenn. Hey." She unfolded her arms. "What's goin on?"
"Nothing serious, m'lady. Everyone was just getting nervous, we didn't know of your location and--"
"Oh...is that it." She sighed, "Well I'll be right here... (if you need me)." He turned to leave, but turned back around and straight for her.
"Mias..." He took her into his arms and kissed her. They both let go and looked at each other, surprised. "I'm sorry... It's just that... I love you."
Her eyes widened. "Glenn..... you...l--love me?"
"Yes, I love you, M'lady Mias." he confessed.
"Whoaaa...." She whispered. He stood there, waiting to see if she felt the same way. "This is happening way to fast, you can't love me, there hasn't been enough time, I mean, I don't know your favorite color or your favorite food... or how... you're... you."
"I want to make time for us." He admitted. "Mias, I realized something. We're alike."
"I want to love you." She said softly. "I want to love you right now."
"I understand." He said, turning away. She grabbed his shoulder.
"Wait--" Mias spat, "I-- I like you a lot, Glenn."
"I'm sorry, M'lady." He smiled sadly, "But I wasn't hoping for only that." He walked away as Mias was speechless...
'Fuck...' She looked down.
---===---
"Miaz, what iz ze matter?" Harle cooed, sitting next to her friend on the couch.
"I'm a moron." Mias sighed, "I mean, Harle, I really screwed up this time."
"We haven't fought a battel in awhile, mon ami," Harle replied. Mias threw her hands in the air, then smacked herself in the face.
"Glenn told me he loved me. I could have said 'thank you' like in that episode of Friends, but, I... I feel so much empathy towards this whole thing, that it's actually driving me nuts. All my life, I've tried to find the perfect relationship... or at least someone not to turn me down. Then the one person I like, he professes his love to me, and I'm like 'I like you a lot.' I could tell he was thinking, you mutha fuckin bitch, I cannot believe you don't feel the same way."
"You cannot force yourself to love zomeone, Miaz." Harle said, "If you truly love him, it'll come to you naturally."
"You're right, Harle, as always." Mias sighed. "I'm gonna go pass out."
Mias walked outside, venturing to the same spot by the waterfall. To her surprise, Glenn was there. He was practicing his sword swings against leaves falling from the trees...
'His skill is breathtaking.' Mias sighed, watching him from behind a tree. 'His form... his headband... damn it, what's wrong with me? I'm so in love with the idea of being in love with someone that it's clouding my senses...'
"Lady Mias?" Glenn sheathed his sword, then walked up to her. "What are you doing out here?"
"I was just thinking and stuff." She smiled, "Then I saw you practicing your sword work."
He sat down and leaned his back against a tree. Sighing, he stared up above the tree tops. Mias sat closely beside him, not thinking, doing the same.
"What are you starting at?" She said softly.
"The sky.... the unlimited possibilities.... all of it unexplored.... It's amazing." He sighed. "After I lost my parents, I would go outside and stare at the sky for hours. Sometimes it felt like they were staring back, watching over me and giving me strength."
"I'm sorry." Mias replied.
"About what?" Glenn said.
"Y--your parents." Mias stuttered. He shook his head and smiled at her.
"It's all right. I miss them, I wish they could have seen me grow up here on earth, but they will always watch over me from beyond." He replied, staring back up at the sky.
"Do you feel alone a lot?" Mias asked.
"Yes. I have the company of my fellow Divas, but it can't match... other human compassion." He stared down at the ground.
Mias sighed softly, and almost invountarily, leaned in front of Glenn and kissed him deeply. He was surprised at first, then allowed himself to seemingly melt into her. Mias's lips were soft against his, and he was afraid of letting her go... He grabbed her hair and pressed her closer to him...
"I love you." He gasped, holding her hip. "I've never felt anything this strong in my life-- but I just know that I love you more than anything else in this world."
"Glenn..." She whispered softly.
"Mias... it's taken me too long to admit that I feel this way about you..." He continued. "Please, just don't ever leave me... Oh to the Gods, I love you...!"
"GODS, MIAS YOU ARE SO LAME! OI!" Kid shouted, almost throwing a fork at the young heroine. "You don't cook, you don't clean, what DO you do?!"
"I ... I cry and I get depressed and I play guitar pretty well..." Mias scratched her head nervously. "What's with all this hostility, Kid?"
"You just make me mad sometimes!" Kid retorted. "You didn't do anything today!"
"I did so! What did you do?!" Mias cried.
"More than you, that's for sure!" Kid shouted.
"I'll give you rent money if that's what you want." Mias sighed. I really am greatful for all you've done and the great meal you prepared tonite, Kid, if that's what's bothering you..."
"YOU bother me!" Kid cried.
"Shut the flip UP!" Mias threw her hands in the air. "I don't wanna hear anymore, you... Can't you take a compliment?!"
"Stop! Stop!" Harle ran in, "What are you two fighting about?!"
"Kid's bein a major dork!" Mias said.
"Mias is being a bloody lazy-ass!" Kid replied, waving her fist in Mias's face.
"Stop fighting!" Harle commanded.
"...Just, whatever." Mias sighed, walking out the backdoor.
Harle and Kid were in the room, staring at each other. "What made you so mad?"
"Something I saw today, okay?" Kid sighed, scratching her head, "Something I heard, too..."
"Shit, it's getting cold..." Mias sighed, walking down to the trees. This area beside the waterfall was quickly becomming one of her favorite spots. Not only because of Glenn, either...
She found a spot by the trees where she could listen to the running water, yet brood at the same time.
"It's my nature to run away from my problems..." Mias said softly to herself. "I hate confrontation... I hate all this change... I hate myself for being this way..." She held her head between her knees.
"I just want to run away. I want to ... I want... I want to just pass out!" Mias gritted her teeth and wiped tears that rolled from her face. "I want to see my family... I want to see my Dad....I wanna see Mom... I want to see my friends... I want to hear Jason go 'whoa', I want to hear Ron be himself..."
She rolled onto her side and balled up into a fetal position. "No matter what I do this emptiness won't go away!!!" She screamed to herself.
"Mias! What--?!" Glenn picked her up, staring into her face.
"Feeling sorry for myself..." She softly smiled. "I've been holding in my emotions so long, I've broken down. Don't look me in the face right now.... please..."
"Mias... " He kissed her forehead, "I'll hold you." She struggled to move, but he refused to budge. "Mias, would you rather suffer alone, or with someone who cared about you?"
"..." Mias looked down, "I don't want you to see me like this."
"I love you." he said softly. "I don't care how you are when I see you, as long as I get to see you."
"You've changed so much..." She whispered. "You don't argue with me and scream at me anymore..." His eyes lowered, "But I like it ... I want it that way." She stroked his face.
---===---
Going through obvious turmoil, Glenn walked outside to view the waterfall. So much had gone on in the few months that passed by...
There was hardly any information avaialble out on Lynx and his location. Local townspeople knew nothing, or didn't want to help. The only thing they understood was Mias was there to aid them, fight their battle and then go home...
"What is home to me?" Glenn sighed. "Termina? Do I belong here... with all of them? These three women...?"
He walked furthur down the dirt path, passing his destination of the water fall to the street of Marbule. They were virtually empty at this time of night.
"Cat's..." A faint voice whispered through the night air. Glenn looked up. The childish voice sounded familiar...
"Cat's... Cra--"
Glenn knew immediately. It was an attack! He ducked down as two pairs of three strings flew over his head, barely missing him. He dashed up, unsheathed his sword and looked up.
"Marcy!" He shouted. "What are you doing, attacking one of your own?"
A girl jumped down from a rooftop, folding her arms and pouting her bottom lip. "One of 'my own'?" She mocked "You have abandonded your place as a Diva!"
"Once you are a Diva, the title stays with you until death." Glenn calmed down.
"You..., like, you are soooo naive, Glenny-boy." Marcy patronized.
"I'm not going to fight you." Glenn replied, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "I chose my path. I'm 20 years old."
"Blah. Who cares. I have my mission, and like, I'm going to fufill it!" Marcy sent her Cat's Cradle attack towards Glenn. It sliced his arm as he tried to evade the attack by falling to the ground.
He looked up at the girl as she smiled, tapping her foot...
Kid yawned, holding a glass of water in her hand. "I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me up, eh, mates?" The blonde haired-girl walked to her room, closing the door behind her.
"Harle?" Mias walked in a circle, her hands clasped together. "I'm getting worried... Glenn would have come back by now, don't you think?"
"Mon ami, he can take care of himzelf." Harle yawned. "I think I will retiyer like the obnioxious one haz. Good night, Miaz." Harle walked to her room, but stopped. She placed a glove hand on Mias's shoulder. "Do not fret, he will be back shortley."
Mias nodded, smiled and walked to the couch. As soon as she heard Harle's door close, she walked out to the waterfall.
"Glenn?!" Mias called. No answer. "Glenn!!!" Mias cried again.
'Glenn, where are you? You would have been back by now. You would have walked into the living room, made some inane comment about us staying up to late, then walked outside to patrol the area...' Mias through, walking around. 'You are so stupid, Glenn...' Mias pouted. 'Making me chase you like this...' She ran faster down the paths. 'But please, just be all right...'
"Stop it, Marcy! I will not fight you!" Glenn cried, bledding from his cheek, arm and upper leg. "I won't fight you! You're a Diva, like me!"
"Like, I have a mission!" Marcy reminded him.
"Glenn!" Mias cried, running to him, "Wh--What's happening?!"
"Mias, get out of here, now!" Glenn retorted.
"OOOH! What's this?" Marcy giggled, "Like, you MUST be Mias! Bad fashion sense proves it. Remember the name, I'm marcy!" She giggled, "Now I can kill you AND the traitor!"
"M'lady, leave here, now!" He held his wounds. "I will take care of this."
"Just like you are now?!" Misa mocked, "Glenn, I'm going to help you. We're a team, we were from the start and that won't change now."
His eyes shined, "M'lady..."
Mias unsheathed her sword and pointed it towards Marcy. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"
"Oh PA-LEEZE!" Marcy rolled her eyes. "Here we go, like, lame hero comments..."
"Potekyon!" Mias cried, slicing the air into a flower shape. With the final draw, the energy released into a fury of pink light and flower petals. Marcy was knocked back.
The girl wiped blood from her mouth angrily. "You're stupid!"
"New... attack..." Glenn nodded at Mias.
She smiled and nodded. "Yah... uhm, I guess so."
"CAT'S CRADLE!!!" Marcy cried, focusing all of her energy into the sttack. Mias turned around, her eyes widdening...
She was not expecting the attack...
Mias felt herself on the ground. There was silence all around, and no sound of Marcy. She slowly opened her eyes, then looked straight up. She was alive! But why didn't she feel hurt...
"Oh no... Glenn...!" Mias felt his body collapsed on top of her's.
He took the hit for her!
"Glenn! Glenn!" She sat up, rolling him on his back onto her lap. His eyes were closed, and his face was bloody. "Glenn, please! Wake up!"
'Please, oh to the Gods, please let him be alive...' She pleaded as tears fell from her eyes.
"Glenn, please wake up..." She softly shook him...
His eyes opened slowly, and he smiled softly at her. His bloody hand moved to stroke her cheek. "Are... you all right, my sweetling?"
"I'm fine... thanks to you." She choked through the tears. "Glenn, please don't die..."
"M'lady..." He whispered.
"Glenn, I love you." She admitted.
"You've made me the happiest man on the planet..." He smiled weakly. "I love you, Mias."
She leaned down and kissed him deeply. "You... you can't die. I won't let you... I..."
"Sweetling..." He stopped her, "As long as I have you love, I'll be able to survive..." He fell unconscious, and Mias cried on his chest... The sound of her crying lulled her to sleep.
"Hgnnn..." Mias sighed.
"Finally awake?" A female voice was heard.
"M--Marcy...?" Mias replied softly, fearing the worst.
The female laughed a hearty laugh. "Oh, no, child. My name is Mamcha."
"Mam... cha?" Mias opened her eyes, looking up. "Oh... what...?"
"I found you and your man friend down near one of the roads of Marbule. So I picked you two up and brought you here. He was mighty beat up." Mamcha replied.
"I--I know... we ran into a problem..." Mias smiled. "Thanks for helping us. I really appreciate it..."
"You should carry more healing elements." a boy ran in. He had a red mohawk and was almost naked...
"Korcha, boy! You should at least say hello first!" Mamchaa scolded.
"Hi." Korcha said. "You should carry more healing elements."
Mias nodded. "I'll pick some up today, thanks. Oh, my name is Mias and the injured man is Glenn."
"Nice to meet cha." Korcha nodded along with Mamcha.
"Glenn is out on the balcony. I told him to stay in bed but he wouldn't have it. He's been waiting to see you." Mamcha said. "Why don't you take these two rolls of sweetbread."
"Oh... are you sure? (I sure am hungry like a mug...)" Mias smiled nervously.
"Take 'em!" Mamcha smiled, putting them into her arms. "Now you get a'goin." Mias nodded.
"Thanks again." Mias smiled, walking the ladder to the balcony. Mamcha smiled, watching.
"Glenn." Mias smiled, walking to him. His back was turned, but when he heard her voice, he turned around and smiled at her. "Mamcha gave me these sweetbreads." She handed one to him, and he nodded.
"You are the first one I have seen all day that did not tell me to go back to bed." He started eating the bread.
"That's because I knew you wouldn't." Mias smiled, eating. "You're so stubborn." He wrapped a bandaged arm around her, admiring the view of the small village with the surrounding forest and oceans.
"But Glenn, maybe a day's rest won't hurt. You were hurt pretty seriously, and I-- we need you to be well rested, in case something happens and I'm not strong enough..."
"You are strong enough." He said, staring straight out. "Stronger than me." She looked up at him in surprise.
"We were both defeated." She softly reminded him.
He looked down. "... By Marcy."
"Who is she?" Mias asked.
"She's one of the Four Divas. There's me, Karsh, Marcy and Zoah." Glenn told her. "Her looks are decieving."
"Strength in numbers..." Mias said. "We just need to think this over." She poked Glenn's chest with her forefinger. "And I mean 'we' as in Harle and Kid. You will get some rest."
"I don't need rest, Mias." He said, sighing.
"Just listen to your body, okay?" She smirked, "Your body wants rest. And why argue? Rest is rest."
"...Maybe." He looked down, brushing bread crumbs from his fingers.
"Do you want to stay here or go back home?" Mias asked.
"...Home, I guess." He sighed. She gave him a kiss.
"Home it is then." She nodded.
"Home?" Mamcha climbed up the ladder to the balcony. "I guess you kids will be leaving then."
"Yes... thank you." Mias nodded.
"Thank you for helping us, Mamcha." Glenn replied.
"Here's something for you, Mias" Mamcha gave her a handful of Healing Elements.
"Oh... thank you so much, you didn't have to--"
"I wanted to, child." Mamcha smiled. "Well now, I'll be seeing you two off then."
Glenn walked straight into his room as they got home. After he closed the door and Mias sat down on the couch, Kid and Harle joined her.
"What happened?!" The both said at the same time.
"There was a rumble... one of the Divas attacked Glenn and I went and helped and then we were defeated and passed out and then we woke up in Marbule and some lady gave us some sweetbread and healing elements, then we came back and stuff." Mias explained.
"That's... I woulda taught that Diva a lesson!" Kid punched her open hand. "What did the Diva look like?"
"A six year old girl with blonde hair and a white, frilly dress." Mias sighed.
"WHAT?!" Harle exclaimed. "Marcy!"
"Yeah..." Mias sighed. "Glenn got badly hurt while fighting, then he was hurt twice as bad when he took a hit for me."
"Miaz!" Harle gasped, "What happened? Did any more romance happen?"
"OI!" Kid walked into the next room, rolling her eyes.
"Well..." Mias smiled, "I admitted my true feelings of love to Glenn."
"GREAT!" Harle smiled. "Zo are you two ze couple yet?"
"I... I, uh.. think so... Maybe." Mias shrugged.
"You must find thiz out, az zoon az pozzible!" Harle said.
"Later..." Mias smiled, "Hey, let's prepare dinner."
Harle nodded, skipping into the kitchen with Mias.

Going through obvious turmoil, Glenn walked outside to view the waterfall. So much had gone on in the few months that passed by...
There was hardly any information avaialble out on Lynx and his location. Local townspeople knew nothing, or didn't want to help. The only thing they understood was Mias was there to aid them, fight their battle and then go home...
"What is home to me?" Glenn sighed. "Termina? Do I belong here... with all of them? These three women...?"
He walked furthur down the dirt path, passing his destination of the water fall to the street of Marbule. They were virtually empty at this time of night.
"Cat's..." A faint voice whispered through the night air. Glenn looked up. The childish voice sounded familiar...
"Cat's... Cra--"
Glenn knew immediately. It was an attack! He ducked down as two pairs of three strings flew over his head, barely missing him. He dashed up, unsheathed his sword and looked up.
"Marcy!" He shouted. "What are you doing, attacking one of your own?"
A girl jumped down from a rooftop, folding her arms and pouting her bottom lip. "One of 'my own'?" She mocked "You have abandonded your place as a Diva!"
"Once you are a Diva, the title stays with you until death." Glenn calmed down.
"You..., like, you are soooo naive, Glenny-boy." Marcy patronized.
"I'm not going to fight you." Glenn replied, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "I chose my path. I'm 20 years old."
"Blah. Who cares. I have my mission, and like, I'm going to fufill it!" Marcy sent her Cat's Cradle attack towards Glenn. It sliced his arm as he tried to evade the attack by falling to the ground.
He looked up at the girl as she smiled, tapping her foot...
Kid yawned, holding a glass of water in her hand. "I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me up, eh, mates?" The blonde haired-girl walked to her room, closing the door behind her.
"Harle?" Mias walked in a circle, her hands clasped together. "I'm getting worried... Glenn would have come back by now, don't you think?"
"Mon ami, he can take care of himzelf." Harle yawned. "I think I will retiyer like the obnioxious one haz. Good night, Miaz." Harle walked to her room, but stopped. She placed a glove hand on Mias's shoulder. "Do not fret, he will be back shortley."
Mias nodded, smiled and walked to the couch. As soon as she heard Harle's door close, she walked out to the waterfall.
"Glenn?!" Mias called. No answer. "Glenn!!!" Mias cried again.
'Glenn, where are you? You would have been back by now. You would have walked into the living room, made some inane comment about us staying up to late, then walked outside to patrol the area...' Mias through, walking around. 'You are so stupid, Glenn...' Mias pouted. 'Making me chase you like this...' She ran faster down the paths. 'But please, just be all right...'
"Stop it, Marcy! I will not fight you!" Glenn cried, bledding from his cheek, arm and upper leg. "I won't fight you! You're a Diva, like me!"
"Like, I have a mission!" Marcy reminded him.
"Glenn!" Mias cried, running to him, "Wh--What's happening?!"
"Mias, get out of here, now!" Glenn retorted.
"OOOH! What's this?" Marcy giggled, "Like, you MUST be Mias! Bad fashion sense proves it. Remember the name, I'm marcy!" She giggled, "Now I can kill you AND the traitor!"
"M'lady, leave here, now!" He held his wounds. "I will take care of this."
"Just like you are now?!" Misa mocked, "Glenn, I'm going to help you. We're a team, we were from the start and that won't change now."
His eyes shined, "M'lady..."
Mias unsheathed her sword and pointed it towards Marcy. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"
"Oh PA-LEEZE!" Marcy rolled her eyes. "Here we go, like, lame hero comments..."
"Potekyon!" Mias cried, slicing the air into a flower shape. With the final draw, the energy released into a fury of pink light and flower petals. Marcy was knocked back.
The girl wiped blood from her mouth angrily. "You're stupid!"
"New... attack..." Glenn nodded at Mias.
She smiled and nodded. "Yah... uhm, I guess so."
"CAT'S CRADLE!!!" Marcy cried, focusing all of her energy into the sttack. Mias turned around, her eyes widdening...
She was not expecting the attack...
Mias felt herself on the ground. There was silence all around, and no sound of Marcy. She slowly opened her eyes, then looked straight up. She was alive! But why didn't she feel hurt...
"Oh no... Glenn...!" Mias felt his body collapsed on top of her's.
He took the hit for her!
"Glenn! Glenn!" She sat up, rolling him on his back onto her lap. His eyes were closed, and his face was bloody. "Glenn, please! Wake up!"
'Please, oh to the Gods, please let him be alive...' She pleaded as tears fell from her eyes.
"Glenn, please wake up..." She softly shook him...
His eyes opened slowly, and he smiled softly at her. His bloody hand moved to stroke her cheek. "Are... you all right, my sweetling?"
"I'm fine... thanks to you." She choked through the tears. "Glenn, please don't die..."
"M'lady..." He whispered.
"Glenn, I love you." She admitted.
"You've made me the happiest man on the planet..." He smiled weakly. "I love you, Mias."
She leaned down and kissed him deeply. "You... you can't die. I won't let you... I..."
"Sweetling..." He stopped her, "As long as I have you love, I'll be able to survive..." He fell unconscious, and Mias cried on his chest... The sound of her crying lulled her to sleep.
"Hgnnn..." Mias sighed.
"Finally awake?" A female voice was heard.
"M--Marcy...?" Mias replied softly, fearing the worst.
The female laughed a hearty laugh. "Oh, no, child. My name is Mamcha."
"Mam... cha?" Mias opened her eyes, looking up. "Oh... what...?"
"I found you and your man friend down near one of the roads of Marbule. So I picked you two up and brought you here. He was mighty beat up." Mamcha replied.
"I--I know... we ran into a problem..." Mias smiled. "Thanks for helping us. I really appreciate it..."
"You should carry more healing elements." a boy ran in. He had a red mohawk and was almost naked...
"Korcha, boy! You should at least say hello first!" Mamchaa scolded.
"Hi." Korcha said. "You should carry more healing elements."
Mias nodded. "I'll pick some up today, thanks. Oh, my name is Mias and the injured man is Glenn."
"Nice to meet cha." Korcha nodded along with Mamcha.
"Glenn is out on the balcony. I told him to stay in bed but he wouldn't have it. He's been waiting to see you." Mamcha said. "Why don't you take these two rolls of sweetbread."
"Oh... are you sure? (I sure am hungry like a mug...)" Mias smiled nervously.
"Take 'em!" Mamcha smiled, putting them into her arms. "Now you get a'goin." Mias nodded.
"Thanks again." Mias smiled, walking the ladder to the balcony. Mamcha smiled, watching.
"Glenn." Mias smiled, walking to him. His back was turned, but when he heard her voice, he turned around and smiled at her. "Mamcha gave me these sweetbreads." She handed one to him, and he nodded.
"You are the first one I have seen all day that did not tell me to go back to bed." He started eating the bread.
"That's because I knew you wouldn't." Mias smiled, eating. "You're so stubborn." He wrapped a bandaged arm around her, admiring the view of the small village with the surrounding forest and oceans.
"But Glenn, maybe a day's rest won't hurt. You were hurt pretty seriously, and I-- we need you to be well rested, in case something happens and I'm not strong enough..."
"You are strong enough." He said, staring straight out. "Stronger than me." She looked up at him in surprise.
"We were both defeated." She softly reminded him.
He looked down. "... By Marcy."
"Who is she?" Mias asked.
"She's one of the Four Divas. There's me, Karsh, Marcy and Zoah." Glenn told her. "Her looks are decieving."
"Strength in numbers..." Mias said. "We just need to think this over." She poked Glenn's chest with her forefinger. "And I mean 'we' as in Harle and Kid. You will get some rest."
"I don't need rest, Mias." He said, sighing.
"Just listen to your body, okay?" She smirked, "Your body wants rest. And why argue? Rest is rest."
"...Maybe." He looked down, brushing bread crumbs from his fingers.
"Do you want to stay here or go back home?" Mias asked.
"...Home, I guess." He sighed. She gave him a kiss.
"Home it is then." She nodded.
"Home?" Mamcha climbed up the ladder to the balcony. "I guess you kids will be leaving then."
"Yes... thank you." Mias nodded.
"Thank you for helping us, Mamcha." Glenn replied.
"Here's something for you, Mias" Mamcha gave her a handful of Healing Elements.
"Oh... thank you so much, you didn't have to--"
"I wanted to, child." Mamcha smiled. "Well now, I'll be seeing you two off then."
Glenn walked straight into his room as they got home. After he closed the door and Mias sat down on the couch, Kid and Harle joined her.
"What happened?!" The both said at the same time.
"There was a rumble... one of the Divas attacked Glenn and I went and helped and then we were defeated and passed out and then we woke up in Marbule and some lady gave us some sweetbread and healing elements, then we came back and stuff." Mias explained.
"That's... I woulda taught that Diva a lesson!" Kid punched her open hand. "What did the Diva look like?"
"A six year old girl with blonde hair and a white, frilly dress." Mias sighed.
"WHAT?!" Harle exclaimed. "Marcy!"
"Yeah..." Mias sighed. "Glenn got badly hurt while fighting, then he was hurt twice as bad when he took a hit for me."
"Miaz!" Harle gasped, "What happened? Did any more romance happen?"
"OI!" Kid walked into the next room, rolling her eyes.
"Well..." Mias smiled, "I admitted my true feelings of love to Glenn."
"GREAT!" Harle smiled. "Zo are you two ze couple yet?"
"I... I, uh.. think so... Maybe." Mias shrugged.
"You must find thiz out, az zoon az pozzible!" Harle said.
"Later..." Mias smiled, "Hey, let's prepare dinner."
Harle nodded, skipping into the kitchen with Mias.
