~*~*Rikku Starr*~*~: Well, well. I finally made another one…Well, you may say that this one actually takes place before Chrono Cross, but that'd be no fun. Just go with the flow. I don't think this one is as good as my first fanfic ('I can hear you.') Anyways, that Understanding Guide is for use when you are confuzzled (Yes, confuzzled.). Anyways, I'll update later!

Disclaimer: Chrono Cross does not belong to me, no dur. I plan on working for SquareSoft in the future though. -laughs-

Chapter One: An Arrival of our Favorite Hero.

"Crono! Crono! You're home?!" A small girl could be seen running down a staircase. She opened a creaky, brown door. Wide-eyed and teary, she quickly latched onto the man's legs.

"So...how've you been, Kid?"

"Great! Marle's been worried sick! We were afraid that you were gone!" She stared up to his soft face.

"Gone?" Crono began to laugh. "Why worry of me? I'm great! I still have a few kicks left in me!" He lifted his arm , and showed a muscle. Kid giggled as he let it down.

"I thought since you beat Lavos, you'd be all old! But you can't marry in that shape!" He knelt down to her. "When are you going to ask her to marry you?"

"Tomorrow." He winked.

"You always say that! You're never going to ask her!"

"Tomorrow." Crono slowly stood up, still grasping the smile on his face. He stepped through the doorway and crept up the left staircase. Inside seemed like a laboratory. A young. purple-haired girl was working furiously on what seemed like a gun.

"Lucca, seems like you've been working non-stop!" Crono laughed as he ambled into the room.

"Yeah, Kid has been driving me crazy! This is the only thing I can do to calm her down." She sighed.

"What's that you're working on?" Crono sat in the chair beside her.

"It's my new Ice gun!" Lucca stood up, showing it off. "This'll allow us to put out fires, and freeze any enemies that come our way, but only us adults can use it."

"Sounds great." He let out a big yawn. "Now let's see if I can get home in one piece."

"I'm sure once Marle finds out she'll-" She shivered. "Never mind. You'd better get home quick." He yawned again.

"Yeah, I'll see you later, Lucca."

"Bye, Crono." He galloped down the stairs into the main room. Standing in his way to freedom, was Marle. She was a slender build, and had bright yellow hair. An angry look was placed on her face.

"Where were you!?" Crono jumped back a bit.

"M-Marle! I was just-" Marle stepped toward Crono and smacked him.

"How dare you leave without saying goodbye! Now tell me where you were!" Her face was inches away from his, but still held the anger.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." He closed his eyes, as he walked toward the doorway. She grasped his shoulder and turned him around.

"No tell me-"

"Tomorrow." He seemed serious. Marle crossed her arms, as she tapped her foot. The stubborn look was washed away with a sigh.

Chapter Two: Seems Lucca is having a little trouble on something…and so is the orphanage. Any guess what this is?

~*~*Rikku Starr*~*~: So, yeah. I'll have at least four more chapters up. -Already has 6 chapters done- I'm holding out. Please send me reviews. It'll help me out. Also, send me your ideas! I'll include them in many of my stories.
