MimiKitty: Hey people sorry for the long wait but school has put me a bit behind in updating stories, but now that it's the weekend I can do as I please! The chapter should explain the plot a bit better I hope. And for the pairing for Glenn shall be stated in this chapter! Sorry if you don't like the pairing but I don't think it will cause to many problems.
Disclaimer: I don't own Chrono Cross so don't sue me for using the characters in my story. The only thing I own are my ideas and if you steal them I'll sue…actually I wouldn't but I would be mad so don't even try!
The sun still shined its light warming the skin of Serge and Kid as they continued their silent walk both scared to mention anything. Serge felt so uncomfortable he didn't know what to say. He didn't want to say anything that would upset Kid any further then she already was.
"So Kid how much further is it till we get to your house?" Serge asked trying to sound cheerful.
"Oh it's not that far. We just have about one more block that's all," she responded.
It felt like an eternity walking to Kid's house but they finally reached the porch of her house.
"Thanks for walking me home I really appreciated it," she said with a small smile.
The wind gently blew Serge's dark blue hair over his forehead, and Kid soon found her heart beating rapidly. "Well I'll see ya later," she said quickly trying her best not to have him catch her blushing.
She immediately unlocked her door, and started heading inside when she was stopped by Serge's voice, "Wait!"
"Yeah?" she asked without turning.
"Ummmm…if you ever need to talk or anything…I'll be here to listen," he said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"I will, and thanks once again for helping me out."
"No problem, well I got to go. My mom is probably thinking I got detention again. Bye."
Kid finally turned around and watched silently while he walked away. When she didn't catch sight of him she closed the door, into her lonely house. She took off her boots and walked silently to her room making no other stops. She grabbed the knob and entered her room, dropping her book bag near her desk. Kid steadily walked to her bed and instantly fell on it, so exhausted of her first day of school, "And 179 more days left," she said in complete horror.
"I never knew trying to find him would be so difficult," she murmured quietly to herself. "Especially with Serge around. He's so…" Kid mentally slapped herself for thinking about Serge. "What's wrong with me! I have to stop being so tempted. I have to find him. I promised him that I would."
She looked at her nightstand and pulled the drawer open. Her hands dug into the mess, throwing the papers that cluttered the inside on the floor, and finally pulled out an old looking book. She ran her hand along the tattered cover and then over the buckle that kept it close. She carefully turned the pages until she found what she was looking for. The letters stuck out boldly in dark lettering as she traced the words with her finger, "…I will find you…"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Serge walked into his house walking quietly passed the kitchen. Marge had stopped stirring and looked up to see her son walking passed without even saying anything to her.
"Serge?" she questioned.
Serge had a lot on his mind, blocking everything from his mind except for Kid. He reached his room and flung his bag to the floor, walking closer and closer to his desk. He sat down and dropped his head on the desk trying his best to forget about Kid.
"Serge?" he finally heard his mother call.
"Yeah mom?"
She let herself in and found Serge sitting on his desk with a look of depression in his eyes, "Serge is anything wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I'm just a bit tired that's all," he said trying to convince his mother.
"Well that's good to hear. Anyway, dinner will be ready in a half hour. Don't doze off like you did last night or I'll stop making dinner," she said leaving the room.
"All right mom," he responded as he raised his head and opened his bag.
Marge stopped, "Serge?"
"Yes mom."
"Don't be scared to tell me anything okay," she said continuing her walk to the kitchen.
"No problem," Serge yelled back taking out his math book. "This should take my mind off Kid," he said opening the book to the homework.
^*^Few minutes later
Serge chewed at the end of his pencil, "If x=25y+z what does z equal? I think I'll skip this one too." Serge soon noticed that he had skipped every question, "Ahhhhh maaaaannnn. I knew I should have paid attention in class," he sighed, "I guess I'll have to call Glenn for that later, but before I do I'll read that damn chapter of A Separate Peace." He flipped through the pages till he reached chapter four, and began reading, but as soon as he started reading he fell right asleep on the book.
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
The ocean breeze played with his hair and the sand shined from the suns brilliant rays. Serge looked around to see the water rolling in and out from the shore and a gentle smile crept to his lips. He ran towards the water, but was stopped when he heard someone calling out to him, "Huh?" he said with a confused look. He turned his head and found a figure near the shore. Her blonde hair shined with light red streaks, and moved with the rhythm of the wind.
"Serge," she repeated a little louder.
"What do you want?" he asked stepping closer to the figure.
"Serge," she said again.
"What?" he asked again.
"Dinner's ready…" she uttered making Serge tilt his head to the side
'…dinner's ready?…'
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
Serge turned his head to the side and knocked some of the papers off his desk.
Marge yelled once more, "Serge! Dinner's ready!"
"What are…you talking…about?" he mumbled as he continued dreaming.
Marge entered the room with a scornful look on her face. Her anger grew more when she found the floor covered with unfinished homework and her son fast asleep. She grabbed the textbook that had fallen on the floor and stepped toward Serge. She dropped the book on the desk, making a loud thud.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Serge screamed falling out of his chair. He looked up from the floor and came face to face with his glaring mother. "Uh heh heh heh hi," he said.
"Hi," she said watching Serge get up from the floor.
"Sorry about that," he said with hesitation.
"What did I tell you 30 minutes ago!?"
"Not to go to sleep?"
"Bingo! Now let me see should I let you have dinner or should I throw it away?"
"Please mom I'm sorry! I promise that I won't do it again! Please?" he said folding his hands together giving her an innocent look.
Marge sighed, "Why does this conversation seem so familiar? Well just come down stairs before I decide not to feed you."
"Thank you almighty mother," he said gratefully.
"Serge stop sucking up and start heading down stairs before your food gets cold!"
"Alright," he said following his mother down stairs.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Kid looked at her finished homework sighing in relief, "It's about time I finished." She walked over to her bed and fell on it. She turned to the side where her book rested and smiled remembering the promise. "Don't worry I'll find ya?" she said turning off the light in her room and closing her eyes. Kid saw a pair of ocean blue eyes starring at her, 'well at least I'll try…' she thought drifting off to sleep.
^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
Kid stood in a bright room. She looked form side to side trying to find an exit. "Where am I?" she asked.
"Kid…" a voice said soothingly.
"W-who are you?" she asked a little bewildered. She turned around and saw figure standing in the distance. The light made his figure seem like a shadow making it hard for her to take a good look at him.
"…You'll find me soon…Don't lose hope…"
The figure started to fade away, "Hey what's that supposed to mean! Hey don't leave!"
She ran to the where the shadow once stood, "Where did you go?"
^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
"Really? So that's how you do it," Serge said writing the last answer down.
"Yeah. That's basically it. Next time listen in class so I don't have to spend an hour explaining it to you on the phone," Glenn said yawning at the other end of the phone.
"I'll try!" Serge said sticking all of his books into his bag. "So did you do anything interesting today?" Serge asked out of curiosity.
"No not really. Hey why do you want to know any way?"
"I was just wondering if you met your secret love," Serge said chuckling into the phone.
"Well I wouldn't be laughing. At least I'm closer to getting a girl then you are."
"Hey take that back!"
"Why should I Serge? I haven't seen you with any girls lately besides the new girl," Glenn said snickering into the phone.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Serge said hearing an interested Glenn.
"What do you mean?"
"You find out sooner or later."
"Hey that's not fair!"
"I know," Serge said smiling evilly.
"Well I got to go to sleep. See you tomorrow!" Glenn said about to hang up the phone.
"Bye," Serge said hanging up the phone.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
The sun penetrated through the windows and fell upon the dreaming Kid. She rolled to her side to avoid the light that had fallen on her face, but fell off her bed instead, "Owwww…" she uttered getting up from the floor. She scratched her side and walked to the bathroom to wash up and get changed. She finally remembered her weird dream and stopped for a moment, "That dream was so weird." She remembered all of her movements and all of her words especially his words. "His voice sounded so familiar, maybe he was…" A bright smile came across Kid's face, 'He said I'm close! I'm so happy that I'm so close I just hope that this dream was true.'
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Serge walked through the halls seeing if Glenn had arrived yet, hoping that maybe he would tell him more about the mystery girl. He finally saw his friend standing in the hallway struggling to close his locker. Serge walked toward him, "Need help?" Serge offered.
"That would be nice," Glenn said gritting his teeth.
Serge and Glenn both shut the locker and picked up their books for class.
"So what's this about you and a girl Serge?"
"O it's nothing special," Serge commented plainly.
"Come on Serge. Please tell your buddy?"
"Nope," Serge said not paying any attention to how frustrated Glenn looked.
"Serge you ungrateful little…ufff," Glenn said when he realized that he was pushed to the ground.
Glenn shook his head, "Hey watch where your…" he stopped when he realized who had bumped into him.
"I'm so sorry," a girl with golden pigtails said. She offered her hand to Glenn and helped him up. A tint of blush formed on Glenn's face as the girl continued her apology. "I didn't hurt you did I," she said as he continued to look at her. She wore a denim skirt with a light blue shirt and her pigtails were about shoulder length.
"Ummmm…ummmm…"
"Is he okay?" she asked motioning to Serge.
"O he's fine," he said putting the pieces together, and smiling evilly, "he's just really shy when he talks to girls that's all."
Glenn continued to stare, but finally was able to say other words then 'ummm'. "I…I…"
"You what?" she asked looking into his eyes.
The bell rang forcing all the kid's to go to class, "Oh darn Glenn. Look at that the bell rang I think we better leave."
"I…I…" he kept uttering.
"In other words he said good bye," Serge said dragging Glenn to class.
"Bye Glenn! See you later!" she waved running to her class.
Glenn finally came out of his trance, "hey where did she go?"
"She left when the bell rang," Serge said sitting in his regular seat.
"How did I act?"
"Basically I had to translate what you were saying."
"That bad!"
"Yep."
"Darn," Glenn said resting his head on the desk, "Why does that always happen when I try to talk to her?"
"Well first of all who is she?"
"Her names Orlah and she's the hardest girl to take to!"
