Chapter 2: 2 Relationships And A Broken Heart

The young thief walked around impatiently. The celebration was still on and he needed the perfect time to talk to the woman he loved. He couldn't take it any longer!

"Celes? Where are you?" he called out. The thief then remembered that he saw Celes walk into her room before.

As he opened the door slightly, he saw Celes lying on top of her bed, and Setzer was pacing around the room, talking to her. The thief eaves-dropped on them quietly.

"Setzer....You're really nice, and that's the truth. I think you're a great guy, but I can't go out with you. There's this other guy.......And I like him better! But if he wasn't around, you'd be my boyfriend in a jiffy!" Celes broke the momentary silence.

The thief stood there, sweat soaking into his headband. 'No......It can't be true!' he thought.

"Locke! Please come in!" Celes motioned with her hand as she finally noticed Locke. "We were just talking about the guy that I love!"

Locke couldn't say anything. His mouth kept opening and closing like a goldfish does. How could she have the nerve to say that....and in front of the 2 guys that loved her?!

"Ce....les...." Locke managed to choke out.

"I might leave now..." Setzer quietly walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

The two stared into each other's eyes quietly, not saying a word.

"So, what's this guy like?" Locke smiled a bit as he said that.

"He's sweet, caring, nice. Everything a woman would want in a man," Celes said softly. "He has beautiful brown hair, adorable green eyes, and his choice of clothes just turns me on."

"Do I know this guy? What's his name?" Locke asked impatiently.

"You know him alright. His name is Locke," Celes smiled.

'Me?!' Locke gasped to himself. 'Man, I thought it was someone else!'

Meanwhile, King Edgar was on the deck of the airship, wondering why he had even bothered to try. He grabbed the engagement ring he was to give Terra, and prepared to throw it overboard.

"Hey, whatcha doin', Edgar?" Setzer laughed as he sat next to him.

"I just did the most idiotic thing in my whole life," Edgar muttered. "I asked Terra to marry me."

"Dude, that's GREAT! What'd she say?" Setzer cheered.

"Maybe.........................." Edgar sobbed.

'Is that guy CRYING?!?' Setzer thought to himself. 'I never though I'd see this!'

As Setzer approached for a closer look, he was thrown to the other side of the airship.

"Damnit! What gives?!" he shouted as his airship twirled in many directions.

The whole team, now 11 since one member left unnoticably, ran outside onto the deck, but they too were flung around.

"Vwee hee hee! You never got rid of me! I'm back and better than ever!" Kefka's voice rung in everyone's ears.

"He seems to have control over the Airship! We're heading down......TOWARDS NARSHE!!!" Setzer screamed.

The ship turned sharply again, this time flinging Locke overboard. The thief sailed off into the distance, screaming the name of his Deity.

"Locke!!!" was the last thing anybody heard before they hit the water. Everybody was separated from each other, and they all were knocked unconscious....
