Disclaimer: I do not own Golden Sun, and I am getting tired of using this.
Fortunately, Ivan, my not owned muse, has not yet broke into this fic.
This is a Garet/Jenna requested by MercuryKitten. It may be iffy at times in this, because I am writing it after packing for when I move. Oh well, here we go!

Mar's Passion
The burningly cold winds of the upper north scalded the skins of the group of eight. In the distance, an archaic monument to the element of power rose into the frozen clouds, Mars Lighthouse. The group heading northward was a strange one indeed.
In the lead stood a coffee topped man, Felix, who was arguing with a deceivingly young looking, cerulean haired man, Piers. Brown and amber fought ceaselessly as each argued a different course of action.
Behind the first two strolled two blondes, Ivan and Sheba, that could easily be mistaken for children. The two strolled hand in hand, ignoring even the strongest of the freezing gales. Violet and jade intermeshed unceasingly, for each only had eyes for the other.
Two of opposite guises strolled slower after. A spiky blonde boy with the façade of a slayer, Isaac, held a cerulean haired angel, Mia, who was obviously a healer by nature. Though the pair's outward appearances contrasted, they both shared the same loving passion.
Just before the tail of the line, a man that had energy that belied his age ambled in search of knowledge only the lighthouses could present. His colorless hair matched the snow about them and showed his experience in the stream of time. Kraden is the name of this soon to be significant scholar.
The rearguards of the procession were both children of Mars, Garet and Jenna. The same fire burned through their equally auburn eyes. They stood apart, unlike the others, the boy with flaming spiky hair, and the young girl with long burgundy hair that trailed down in a single tail.
Finally, Felix and Piers decided to call a halt to the trek northward. The eight adepts and scholar were quick to agree, and soon they were searching for a cave to weather the harsh winter night.
"We found one," Ivan called. He and Sheba had found the first cave in the long miles of tundra. The others were quick to rush to the site, and soon they were ready to cook a decent meal.
"Any volunteers for firewood duty?" Felix questioned nicely, but received no positive answer. No one in their right minds would want to leave the dank cave, even for life giving fire. He did what any sane person would do in this situation, random picking.
"Jenna and Garet, you are the lucky pair," the two mars adepts grumbled silently, but still headed out into the biting winds.
Seconds passed into minutes, and still there was not a single tree in sight. The search seemed hopeless for the two adepts, and Garet's dim questions did not pass the time.
"How does milk turn into cheese?" the hundredth insane question he had asked that evening staled the air even further.
Jenna's patience was losing out, and any person who knew the nature of any Mars adept would run far away if this were happening. "Garet, I have a question for you," she did not wait for his response. "Why don't you shut up?"
For the first time in hours, Garet was silent. The eerie quiet continued until the two had reached the cave again. They were greeted by the weary looks of the other adepts that were huddled together in the back of the cave. A sense of failure flowed through the air, and the circle spread to include the two latecomers. The eight ate a cold dinner of bread and meat, and soon each headed to their meager bedding. Hey, who ever said that the lives of heroes were glamorous.
Garet had taken the first watch, and looked upon his friend's restless sleep. Each seemed to be fighting for one spot of warmth, but it was in short supply. He found his focus resting more on Jenna with each passing second, though he was not sure why. Sure, he had once had a crush on the beautiful girl. Her fiery temper and unnatural stubbornness matched his own, and she was intelligent to boot.
Sadly, a year apart had changed the both of them. She had grown up into an adventurous woman, while he had grown into his heroic role. Also, Jenna had always had a 'secret' crush on Isaac. Even when they lived in Vale, she had loved him. Garet could see behind the mask she had put up ever since Jupiter Lighthouse, which hid her depression. Jenna's heart was broken when she learned of Isaac's relationship with Mia, and it seemed unfixable. She would let no one through the barrier that she had erected. No one could ever defile her heart again.
Garet's gaze stayed transfixed on the stars throughout the chilly evening. At midnight, the cracking of ice awoke his sleeping mind, and he turned to see Jenna stepping up behind him. The two stilled for a moment, before Jenna voice rang out an apology.
"Garet, I want to apologize for earlier. It was rude for me to yell at you," she started to say more, but Garet stopped her.
"Don't worry about it, Jenna. I know the reason you exploded so easily," Garet scared the entirety of Weyward by saying something ingenious.
Jenna seemed taken aback for a second, before letting her visage break. She collapsed into Garet's shoulder and let the tears from her entire journey finally spill. Garet held her against him protectively; making sure his grip was light but firm. The two stayed this way until Sol rose over the horizon. They separated briefly, and Jenna mouthed a breathless word of thanks. When the adepts left the cave, these two joined the others at their usual spot in the procession, but they walked hand in hand.
(This of course did not go unnoticed by Felix, who proceeded to chase Garet all the way to Mars Lighthouse for even touching his sister.)

Well, that was fun.
Any fans of my other work, "Alchemy's Elements", beware of a long update time. My family decided to finally got started moving a week ago, so it might take awhile. But, I am including some !!FRIENDLY!! Steamshipping for BTFreek. (Note: FRIENDLY!) and when I update, prepare for the cliffhanger of the year.
Now for the long undone review spotlight that I haven't been doing:
(2) Thanks for BTFreek: First, praise can never be repetitive. Second, thanks for calling me a good author.
Too Lazy to log in AKA SpasticDjinn: Sorry for the big words, but it gets boring if I don't use them.
MercuryKitten: I liked snowbound too, but I eventually meshed all my ideas for GS to form this story. I came up with something weird at first, but my friends helped me smooth it out.
