Howdy! Umm....this is my first fan fic, so it kinda stinks but oh well. I had another ChatFic but then FF changed its rules so it got kicked off and I got suspended for a week. Oh well. Please read and review and tell me honestly what you think. If no one likes it then I'm just gonna start over. The first chapter kinda sucks so far, but it will get better (I hope)! Suggestions and tips are much welcomed!! ~Me~

Chapter 1: The Puzzle
Kid sat in the sun under the cerulean sky. Her blonde hair waving in the wind, blue eyes gazing off into the distance. Puzzle pieces of memories ran through her mind. If only she could just put those pieces together and have them make sense! Endless days she now spent wandering this beach searching for answers these pieces quested for. It had been a year, now, after she had been found wandering mindlessly the shores of this beach. She only had bits and pieces of her memory and had no meaning to her life. Sure, the towns people had been very kind to her, but her mind was set on searching for answers. Her existance was still meaningless, though, through all the searching. She didn't know where she had come from. Why she had been wandering on that beach. Gosh, she harldly knew who she was! A deep sigh escaped from her lips. It was like the most important thing in her life was missing, but she didn't know what it was. Kid leaned back onto the warm sand. She closed her eyes and listened to the soft lapping of the water against the sand, lulling her to sleep.
A figure began to appear out of the mist of dreams. A young, tall, masculine figure. He strided closer calling out her name. The face. The swallow The red bandana. All so familiar. Why couldn't the pieces come together? He continued towards her. Faintly she could here him say something. Frozen in place unable to move or get closer, she strained to hear his words. "Remember your promise..." Her own voice circled about now, "I will find ya mate! I promise!" Suddenly it all clicked. "Serge!" she screamed.
Suddenly it all vanished and she was back laying on the beach, tide rising closer under the now speckled sky of stars. She lay in a cold sweat, shaking, her throat hoarse from screaming. "Oy...." Her heart pounded and breaths came in strained gasps. She breathed deeply to try to steady herself. She thought about the dream. The Promise. The Figure. It all came together now, played back like a movie in her mind.
Serge. They had saved their worlds together, traveling between times. Now her emptiness and loss of meaning was replaced by the hunger and longing for her old friend. How could she find him, though? Was there really a way to uphold her promise? A promise made in the fear of the moment. The moment the worlds began to split, separating them eternally. Schala had said that the worlds would be separated forever and that their minds would be wiped of all their memories. "How could they have come back to me?" she silently wondered. "Where is he now? Does he remember me?" She sighed at this great find, but great feeling of helplessness. She had no place to go. No real belonging here, or anywhere as it seemed. Maybe there was a way. There has to be a way! With her mind spinning now, she sat up and stared out ever the endless ebb and flow of the tide, considering the possibilities. She reached inside herself. "Schala! Help me now!" she cried in vain. A transparent figure of herself suddenly appeared, floating above the water, startling her.
"There is a way..." it whispered.
"Tell me!" she cried.
"Patience, dear Kid," replied Schala,"patience. When you and Serge defeated Lavos with your allies, unbeknown to us, Lavos already had an heir. An evil beast of a dragon name, Eylos. This evil beast has created a new time gate and personally guards it at the El Nido Triangle. That it the only way through."
"I am only myself. How am I suppose to defeat him to get through?" quested Kid.
"Have you now an ounce of patience?" retorted Schala. "Once a year, when the moons are full and in perfect placement with the three points of El Nido Triangle, the time gate opens wider, too big for Eylos to guard. You must enter through quickly on the south end before you are caught. If you plan to attempt this, though, you must take heed for the time dries near. About one week is between now and then. Here take this dear Kid." Schala handed kid a long silver ball chain with a silver dragon dangling from it. The dragon had small shimmering rubies for eyes and two daintily ornate swords crossed behind it. "This is the crest of the Zeal family line. May it guide and protect you. To the gates of time!" Schala vaporized as her voice echoed off the high, jagged beach clifffs. Kid slumped back down in the sand still in shock. She clasped the necklace around her neck. He red jacket brought out the rubies of the dragon that shone eerily bright in the darkness
Kid grinned, "Well, mate, it looks like there might actually be a way after all!" She stood up, fastened her boots, straightened out her little red skirt, and dashed off the beach heading to Termina to get a few last supplies.
