A/N~ Wow this took me a long time to post! Oh well! Please read and review!
Chapter Seven
" Wow." That was Marle's first impression of the giant, robotic thing that would serve as their training partner.
Crono nodded thoughtfully. " This is Gato." He said. " He's tough, but I think we can beat him together."
The way he said together sent chills down Marle's spine. She thought of other things they could do together...
Crono interupted her train of thoughts. " Ready?" He asked seiously. " You could still just-"
" No way am I backing down! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I don't know how to fight!" Marle cut him off.
He grinned at her. " Easy! I get the point! Don't bite my head off!" When his laughter subsided, he watched her for a
moment.
Marle was starting to get a bit uncomfortable under his intense stare. She shifted slightly, and he shook his head.
" You're not weak." Just a few simple words, and still they managed to make her heart flutter. What was happening to
her? She didn't swoon at just a compliment!
But it was more than a compliment. He had said it like he was simply stating the truth.
And, once again, the mood was broken up.
Marle was once again aware of the situation by a slightly annoying fighting machine, singing a very annoying song.
" They call me Gato"
" I have metal joints"
" Beat me up and earn"
" Fifteen silver points"
" Fiftenn points, huh? Not too bad, I guess. But the Guess The Winner game was way better." Marle said aloud. " And
easier." She silently added.
Crono shrugged. " Depends on how you look at it." He said, then jumped out of the way of a flying punch. He landed
gracefully, then drew his wooden sword. He dodged another punch, and said, slightly out of breath, " That's just luck wheras
this-" He jumped and slashed Gato, who fell back for a moment, " Is pure skill."
Marle nodded approvingly. He really was impressive. She drew her crossbow. " Well, I'm not about to let you have all
the fun!" She said before knocking an arrow and letting it fly. She hit her target head on.
Crono smiled. Then he slashed Gato from behind, before it could reach Marle.
Gato looked about to attack again, but just collapsed. Then it righted itself and sang, " I lost. You won. Here's
fifteen silver points. Now wasn't that fun?"
Marle covered her ears. " That thing really could use singing lessons." She commented.
Crono laughed again and collected the points. " Where now?" He asked.
Marle shrugged. " I dunno." A wierd thought entered her mind, and however strange, she knew it was true. " I'd follow
you anywhere you go..."
Crono wiped some sweat from his brow. " How about we go see the dancing?" He said, then winked flirtatiously.
Marle giggled. She seemed to be doing that a lot around him, she realized. " But of course! And the gentleman shall
favor the lady with a dance?"
Crono laughed. " How could I possibly refuse?" Then he bowed. " Ladies first."
A/N~ Sorry it took so long! I think the story with Crono's view point will be with him mute. It'll be hard, but I'll try!
He's not next though. I'm thinking of making Lucca's next. Anyway, please please please r/r!
