Silent Whispers
Decision
"I'm sorry, Lucca, Crono's not here, should I…"
"No, that's ok, I'll just take what I left. Thanks!"
Lucca hurriedly ran up to Crono's room, trying desperately to make her way through the sea of cats; cats which still weren't properly fed. Finally scaring most of the cats away from the room, Lucca managed to get to Crono's closet. Inside were several katanas he used over the years and through their journey; the Rainbow wasn't there. Not noticing it on her way in on its usual location in the living room, Lucca decided that Crono must've taken it. She glanced through the window at Leene's square. It was brimming with activity, as it should be on the Princess's wedding day to the future king. A king who was nothing more than a mere peasant.
With a heavy sigh, Lucca began searching through the junk that was her old friend's closet. She laughed several times as memories rose from her childhood, of her and Crono, and the inventive uses they found for things none would look at.
'But now he has new toys… and new friends.'
The faintest smile decorated her face as she extracted the object of her desire. A little key with a star at the end. The Gate Key.
She looked at the square again and bit her lip. If she wasn't wanted there, she won't force herself on anyone else. Least of all Crono…
She ran through the stairs and was about to go out the door when Crono's mother stopped her.
"Lucca, I hope you'll change before going to Marle and Crono's wedding! I mean, you are the bridesmaid! You can't just show up in that dress!"
Which wasn't really a dress, just Lucca's usual orange working clothes. Not sexy, but unlike many would assume, not overly geeky, either.
"I'll… see right to it that no one in the wedding'll see me wearing this outfit!"
"Promise?"
"Yep!"
"Ok, you take care now, dear!"
With a final sigh, Lucca walked out of the small house, in time to hear Nadia's Bell ring from Leene's square.
'Don't worry, ma'am, no one'd see me in this outfit in the wedding, 'cause I ain't gonna attend.'
And with grim determination, Lucca gripped the Gate Key and marched towards the square, though with no intention for the ceremony. None at all.
