Disclaimer: The usual, I don't own Golden Sun blah, blah, blah!
A/N: Hmmm, I have decided to be generous, and give this story a twist I hadn't thought of, and will maybe give some readers what they want! Hehehe! (Rubs hands together in evil glee!) This is all part of my grand scheme to confuse you all!
Anyways, enjoy the twist!
-
Deep under the remains of Mt. Aleph, something stirred. Water started to form, tricking out. It formed a path leading into the near river below Vale, and then joined the open sea...
-
"Travelling so much REALLY takes it out of you!" exclaimed Jenna. Mia smiled. "Yeah, you would have thought that we had learned our lesson by now!" The two girls were unpacking in Piers' spare bedroom.
Ivan was sharing a room with Piers. "So, why did you decide to come back?"
"..."
"Piers?"
"Oh, sorry Ivan. I was miles away..."
"Oh, right." Ivan looked at him, worried, and a bit puzzled. Piers was acting weird, and he KNEW it was something to do with the conversation he had with Mia. Unfortunately for Ivan, he had a conscience, and that meant he respected his friends privacy enough not to use Mind Read. He sighed and continued unpacking.
Jenna shrieked from outside. Ivan looked out of the window to see a drenched Jenna chasing a hysterical Mia, who was trying to run and hold her sides from laughing at the same time. He lifted an eyebrow. He never knew Mia could be bad!
Piers was looking out to the sea. "Something bad is coming..." he said, so quietly that Ivan missed it.
-
They sat around the table eating the food that Piers and Jenna had cooked. Mia frowned.
"What's up?" asked Ivan.
"Oh, nothing. It's just the Lemurians remind me so much of the Mercury clan... and Alex." She sighed. "Why did he do what he did? Was he that hungry for power? He played us all off against each other. Even Saturos and Mernadi had good intentions..."
"Yeah, I didn't get him!" Jenna spoke with her mouth full. Then she swallowed. "I mean, he was always such a gentle man. It drove me mad!"
Piers looked at his plate. "He was a strange character, wasn't he? But I'm sure he had his reasons. I mean, according to Mia, he was good once."
Mia nodded. "I really cared for him... he meant a lot to me... but after what he did..." she shook her head. "We don't even know what happened to him."
Ivan rested his chin on his hand. "This is a cheerful conversation! I mean look at us! We're all fine, healthy, we are surrounded by people we care about. Let's not dwell on the past, but enjoy our time together!"
Jenna had an evil grin. "Piers, do they have alcohol in Lemuria?"
"WHAT?!? JENNA!"
"What? C'mon, we could all do with a bit of fun!" she looked around her. "Wait, lemme guess, you've never drunk before, have you? ANY of you?"
"I have, once." Said Piers.
"Oh, goodie!" Jenna rolled her eyes.
"Why, what did you have in mind, Jen?" asked Ivan.
"Truth or Dare!"
"Can't we play it without alcohol?" asked Mia. "I never touch the stuff, and Ivan's too young. He's only 17!"
"Hey! I'm NEARLY old enough!"
"Nearly, but not quite, Ivan."
"Oh, ok, ok," said Jenna grudgingly. "But we have to do the dares and tell the truth! Ivan can Mind Read, you know!"
"All right. Who goes first?" asked Piers.
"You, because it's your house," said Ivan.
"Hmmm, ok then. Jenna, truth or dare?"
"Erm, truth!"
"Is that your natural hair colour?"
"... That's the best you could come up with? Alright then, yes it is! Mia, truth or dare?"
"I'll have truth, please."
"Are you heterosexual?"
Mia blushed. "No, I'm not..."
Everyone looked at her. "WHAT?!?" exclaimed Ivan. "Are you gay?"
"I thought it was only one question!" said Mia. "Ivan, truth or dare?"
"Well, um, dare!"
"Go and buy some alcohol. I think we're gonna need it..."
-
After a few drinks:
"Ok, then, it's my turn!" said Ivan. Mia, whaz your sex... sex... wha' are you?"
Mia blinked. "I'm um, a whatcha, thingy, erm, not gay, not straight, erm, bi! Yeah, I'm bi!"
Jenna looked at them both in amazement, partly from Mia's confession, and partly the fact they were completely drunk after only one glass. Piers wasn't doing much better.
"Ok! Piers! Truth, or , erm, the other one?"
"Erm, lemme think, truth!"
"Who you fancy most in this thingy, erm, room?"
"Oh, that's easy! Ivan!"
Ivan choked on his drink, and suddnely seemed to sober up considerably. Jenna was shocked. "You fancy Ivan?"
"Never said that," slurred Piers, "its just am gay, so, you know, no women!" he smiled. Then fell over, asleep.
Mia slumped too, onto Jenna's shoulder. Ivan decided to continue drinking, until he had to make a quick dash for the toilet.
"Well, that was interesting!" murmured Jenna.
-
The next morning, everyone, except Jenna, seemed reluctant to get up. They all had hangovers, and unfortunately recalled some of the conversations of last night. Jenna, being the only one conscious, had to drag each of them to their beds.
"Never again!" she muttered. "Lightweights!"
"COME AND GET SOME BREAKFAST!" she shouted cheerily. This was met by a chorus of groans.
After the had all finally gotten up, and the initial pain had subsided, they decided to do a bit of shopping, or at least, the girls decided on that, the boys were dragged along regardless. Mia sidled up to Jenna. "Are you mad?"
"What for?"
"For me never saying that I was, you know..."
"Bisexual? Mia, are you forgetting that my brother just married my best MALE friend?" she laughed. "There are some serious issues within this group! You're bi, and Piers and Ivan are gay-"
"What?" she turned. "Ivan, since when are you gay?"
"Ooops!" said Jenna. Ivan was now glaring so hard, he could have bore his way through Jenna's skull.
"Ivan?" Piers turned. "Are you gay?"
Ivan mumbled.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that!"
"YES! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!?"
"Ok Ivan, don't worry, it's ok!" smiled Piers. Ivan closed his eyes. Then grinned. Jenna caught on. He had read her mind.
"Guess what Jenna is!"
"NO, Ivan, you wouldn't!"
"SHE'S bi too!"
"IVAN!" Ivan ran, Jenna tearing after him, her hand glowing from the power she was building up. They turned the corner, and Mia and Piers could hear a roaring flame (and a roaring Jenna) accompanied by a shrieking Ivan.
-
He dragged himself up onto the shore. Looking up, he knew this place.
"Lemuria..."
He fell unconscious, his blue hair covering his face that was turned to the side.

A/N: A lighthearted chapter, as I didn't want to spend too long on the whole "coming out" thing - the whole of The Outcast was based on that alone!
I told you there was a twist! What do you think? Don't worry, there WILL be angst, this chapter is just light relief. Read and Review, and a big thank you to all those who have so far! ^_^
Oh, yeah, I just wanted to point out one thing, because people don't read my bio, and this leads to embarrassment, but I am a GUY! I am NOT a GIRL! (ahem!) So please don't think I'm a girl! I'm only a gay guy, and I'm not even THAT effeminate!
