**Not mine, don't sue, if you do, then I have 2 pieces of lent and a button.**

Crono held his right arm tight around her waist the whole time they walked down the long corridor. Marle lazily rested her head against his right shoulder sighing and smiling. Crono looked down at her and got a big goofy grin, looking at his love resting against him. `Thank God for me wanting to adventure so much...I never would have met Marle if I hadn't' he thought to himself.

Finally down the corridor and stares, and into the dining room, the couple was greeted with full hearted hellos and waves. Crono pulled out Marle's chair, letting her sit down, and then pushed it back under for her. Crono stepped over to the right a little, then sat on his seat beside her.

The maids brought out a dainty plate of eggs and sausage for Marle, and a hefty plate of waffles, eggs, sausage, and bacon for Crono. Crono eagerly took all his food down in a few quick fork full bites, while Marle took her time eating properly. All the while, Crono watched Marle eating her food, after he finished.

After watching for around 30 minutes (8 plates and 3 cups of juice for Crono, 2 plates and 1 cup of juice for Marle), Crono stood up and put away the dishes, taking the maids job. He hustled back to Marle and locked his arm with hers as they took off towards the gardens.

"Crono sweety, remember when we first met?"

Crono looked at her and nodded.

"I'm glad we met, but I wish they wouldn't have thought you kidnapped me, they almost took off your head..."

Crono nodded again and said "At least they let you come with us....after I broke out, knocked out a few guards...and beat the shit out of the dragon tank."

Marle giggled and sat on the bench in the garden. Crono got on his knees infront of her and looked up at her. "You have beautiful eyes, and a beautiful face, and a beautiful body." Marle smiled and put a hand down his shirt and rubbed over his muscled chest.

"Your such a sweetheart Crono!" Crono smiled and stood. He noticed something was missing and walked over to the other side of the garden with Marle watching from her sitting place. He bent over and picked up a white rose and looked back.

That's when he saw the dark figure from his dreams coming towards Marle fast. "Oh my fucking GOD." he thought instantly, "It's MAGUS, that Bastard! HE IS GOING TO DIE!"

"MARLE LOOK..." Crono screamed, only to be cut off by the tranquilizer dart that pierced the flesh of the right side of his neck. Crono hit the ground hard, face first, sliding to a stop. He looked up as Marle was spinning around to see Magus throw the net over her. Crono stood groggily as the Net entrapped Marle in its woven boundaries. He started to run at Magus as two cloaked men, as tall as Magus, who's faces where completely shadowed so he could not tell who they where, stepped infront of him and both punched with their right fists. Both fists connected Crono square in the cheeks, causing him to fly back into a bush. Once again he rose as Magus snapped his fingers, causing Marle, himself, and his two helpers to vanish.

"Fu....ck....you.....Mag....us...I...will...get....you..." Crono stammered, under the effect of the tranq deeply embedded in his neck. Crono's head dropped with a thud, his head bouncing once, then stopping, as Crono fell into a deep sleep.

Four hours later Crono had not risen. Everyone was worried in the Guardia castle because they had not seen the two, Crono and Marle, since breakfast, and sent the guards looking for them. Ten minutes later, two of the guards came back hurriedly and reported to the king that "Crono was found M'lord, your daughter, on the other hand, could not be found sire, but I do believe we must help Lord Crono." The guards ran out to the garden, the king following in toe behind them. The King of Guardia looked down at his son-in-law and ordered the guards to take him to the infirmary immediately.

On the table, with family and friends around him, Crono came around slowly. He murmured "Marle...kidnapped...Magus...I'll...get him."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY SON?!?!?!?! KIDNAPPED?!?!?! MY BABY?!?!?!?! I'LL SEND THE GUARDS TO ACCOMPANY YOU TO SAVE HER!!!!!!!"

"No...please don't... I'll do it alone..." Crono rolled off the table and took the bandage off his neck. He ran to his room with all the speed he could muster. He ran in and packed his travel bag and threw on all of his old fighting gear. His bag consisted of healing items, tents, and money. He was packing light for this expedition. There was no real need to go heavy. His money could pave the way for him if nothing else, besides he was going to do most of his talking with the edges of his blade. Crono grabbed his katana and sheath and hooked it on his belt with his bag. "And now....Magus...your mine to kill and only mine. YOU HEAR THAT MAGUS?! I WILL KILL YOU! YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!"

Crono ran outside of the castle like a blazing comet, busting through a crowd of people rudely and hurriedly. The only thing he could think about was how much he wanted Marle back and how bad he wanted to kill Magus, the one he thought WAS a friend. What a bastard. How bad he wanted Marle back was immeasurable, his want would be too large to be measured anywhere on Earth.
