Reviews already? Cool! Being a first time writer, it's great to see that at least *some* people like it!
Here's the next chapter!
Note: I do not own any of these characters, nor do I have anything to do with their owners.
Chapter Three
Relearning the Past
Slowly, Kid woke up in bed. Her eyes were still closed, but she could sense
someone standing next to the bed, looking down at her. It must have been
just a dream, she thought. "Oh, Serge," she said to the person standing
next to the bed. She opened her eyes, but the sharp change in light made
her vision blur, and her eyes tear up. She couldn't really see him that
well. "I just had the strangest dream! I dreamed that we had gone down
to see sis's monument, and then a strange portal had suddenly opened up
and sis came flying out! Unbelievable, aint it?"
"I don't know," said the person next to her, "it seems pretty believable to me."
Kid sat up strait in bed, suddenly wide-awake. She turned to look at who had
spoken to her. Instead of Serge, standing there was the woman who had come
out of the portal that morning. "Then it wasn't a dream!"
"No, it wasn't, Kid. Or would you rather I called you Schala?"
Kid jumped out of bed, and grabbed her in a fierce hug. "You can call me
whatever you want to, Lucca!"
Serge walked in, carrying a tray piled high with breakfast foods. He set
the tray down on the nightstand, and sat down next to Kid, who taken a seat
back on the bed. Lucca was looking at the two of them, and smiling.
"It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do," she said. "It's what,
1021 now, right?"
"Yes," said Kid, remembering. "Eleven years sense the day you disappeared."
"Well, It wasn't for me."
"What? What do you mean?"
"That "portal" that I came through, that was a time gate!"
"A what?"
"A time gate! That's right, you don't know what those are, do you? I never
told you about the events that happened before I meet you, did I?"
"No. You were always so quiet about it, and you made sure that Crono and Marle
never mentioned it either."
"Well," began Lucca, "I guess this is as good a time as any. It all started at
the Millennia Fair, the first day of the year 1000..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...and that is how we defeated Lavos. But I guess we really hadn't defeated him.
Your very existence was proof of that. I told Crono and Marle to keep quiet about
our past, knowing who you were. We didn't want you to find out about who you
really were before you were ready to. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to tell you
in person."
"That's all right," Kid told her. "There was nothing you could do, I'm sure.
Speaking of which, how did you manage to get away from Lynx? I was sure that he
had captured you!"
"Are you kidding me? You should know that he would've stood no chance against
me, Lucca the Great!" She picked up a pastry from the tray, and as if to prove
her point, fire leapt from her other hand and fried it to a small, black ember.
"Actually, to be honest, I never got a chance to fight him! He had caught me by
surprise while trying to fix the same teleporter that had started it all, and I
had backed into the control panel. The sudden power flux must have opened a time
portal, and now, here I am! I had been expecting to arrive somewhere like 600 AD
again, but this is even better! If I had gone back to 600 AD, I would have been
stuck without the materials needed to build another gate key. I really would have
been stuck there. Anyway, what about you two? What happened while I was traveling
through time?"
So Kid told her the story of what had happened after Lucca's disappearance, and
how she had eventually wound up on El Nido, and how she had met Serge, and they
had gone off on adventures together, and eventually defeated Lavos, freeing herself
from her own imprisonment. Then she told her about the year after. About the wedding,
and the rebuilding of the house. When they she had finished, it was already noon.
"Wow," said Lucca. "It seems like your life has been even more adventurous than mine!"
"Well," answered Kid, "let's just call 'em even!"
"Ha ha, all right, whatever you say. So, have you seen Crono or Marle sense you moved
back here? How are they doing?"
Kid stared back at her strangely. "Lucca," she said cautiously, "They disappeared the
same day you did, and haven't been heard from sense. We think that Lynx got to them."
Lucca jumped up from her chair, dropping the pastry she had been eating on the floor.
"WHAT!" she screamed. "That's impossible! Crono and Marle where both more powerful than
me! There's no way that he could have beaten them!"
"I don't know, maybe-," She stopped when Lucca ran out of the room. Kid and Serge jumped
up and ran after her. "Hey Lucca! Where are ya going?"
"To get the Wings of Time! We have to find out what happened to them!"
"The Wings of Time? What the hell are those," Kid asked no one in particular.
That's it. I'm in the middle of the 4th chapter now, but I don't know how long it'll take. I *hate* writers block!
