Disclaimer: I don't own any of the gs characters, but I haven't beaten the
second GS game, and since this story takes place after it (and it only
involves the original cast of GS) I'm making up what happened at the end of
the second game.
Pairings: *none*

It was a Beautiful morning in Vale. The weather was perfect, it was warm and sunny, and the people of Vale were out and about. Isaac woke up to the soft rays of light that beamed onto his face, his eyes fluttered open. He was in Garet's house. He'd been living there since his mother passed away a year ago. He and Garet had remained close friends since their whole adventure had begun and ended, it seemed as though nothing could come between their bond. Isaac sat up in the spare bed he had been sleeping in for the last 2 years, and turned his head towards the staircase from which footsteps were eminating.
"Morning, sleepy-head. Afternoon, actually."
Isaac groaned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, "Is it really that late?"
"Yeah, you slept right through breakfast, and brunch, we're just sitting down to lunch now." Garet licked his lips, food was his favourite subject. "I came up to see if you were awake and wanted anything."
Isaac stared for a bit, then said, "sure, just a little lunch, I suppose." His stomach growled in protest at the word "little". "All right, make it a bit more than a little."
"heh, sure thing Isaac."
As Garet descended down the stairs, Isaac got up out of the bed and dressed for the new day. Just the same old tunic and pants he liked. There was no need for heavy gear or clothing because there was no one to fight, and no one to fight for. So the people of Vale have once again become a town which practices pacifism. The tremors that had been sop violent not too many years ago, had completely died off two years ago. Almost the same day as his mother's death. Thinking about his mother made him think about his father, and thinking about his father reminded him of how he had no parents. He put his smile firmly in place at the sound of more footsteps up the staircase.
"Here you go, Isaac, the Breakfast and Lunch special, on the house."
"Thank you ma'am, I wouldn't have it any other way."
"What, the breakfast or the free tab?"
Isaac thoughtfully chewed a mouthful of eggs, "both." he said
"well, you don't have to worry about it, you've always been like a son, it's no different now that you're living here, and I enjoy taking care of you and Garet. I still can't believe you had to go through all that." Her voice trailed off for a minute, "I'm extremely glad you did, however, saving the world and such." she smiled at him.
"Oh, anyone with a sword and knowledge of a sword could defeat people like Saturos, Menardi, Karst and Agatio. I could have beaten them with my sword arm tied behind my back."
"Now, now, I think we've all had enough of your bravery act. Everyone knows you were knocked out at first encounter."
"First encounter, yes, but third encounter proved to go in my favour."
"And the fourth, fifth.. we all know, Garet."
"Ah, kicking their butts was easy, eh Isaac?"
"Oh come on, don't get me involved, I'm still eating!"
"Fine, be that way" Isaac laughed at the snob-nosed face Garet made as he mocked being mad at him.
"Keep doing that and your face'll get stuck" everyone turned to see Garet's little brother coming down the stairs into the room.
"Heh, I think it would be an improvement, don't you?" Isaac said, Garet just laughed,
"FOOLS! Nothing can improve on the original!"
"Unless you add on to the original."
"huh?"
"what?"
"what did you say?"
"what are you talking about?"
"You just said something..."
"No I didn't."
"You're lying!"
"And what if I am?"
"ARGH!"
"You know, Garet, you shouldn't let people mess with your head so easily," Isaac mused.
*** Ivan yawned and stretched before looking out of the bedroom window. The sun greeted his tired eyes and he smiled. Lately all of the days had been sunny, warm, and beautiful. The blinds of his windows opened and Ivan squinted his eyes at the new addition of light.
"Oh, Master Hammet, good morning," Ivan said,
"Ivan, how many times do I have to tell you not to say 'master' Hammet, Hammet is just fine, thank you."
"Well then, Hammet, what would the people of Tolbi think of an unworthy man such as me calling you by your name, and that alone?"
"you argue no point whatso-ever, Ivan, that's utter nonsense, I'd hope the people of Tolbi would know better than that, besides, there is no law stating I must be addressed in such a formal matter, I am but a merchant, and a founder"
"True enough, then." said Ivan stretching, "If you'll please leave me for a while so I may get showered and dressed?"
"Of course, Ivan," with that, Hammet left.
Ivan climbed from his bed, wearing his blue pyjamas, he trod over to the dresser and got out his tunic, pants and other clothing before heading to the bathroom to bathe. Ten minutes later Ivan came out of the room drying himself off when Hammet came through the door,
"Ivan there's a letter here for you-"
"AUGH!"
"HOHO! GOMEN GOMEN!" he slammed the door shut on his way out, from the other side of the door he said, "Gomen Nasai, Ivan, I did not mean to intrude on you, this letter just arrived for you from Mia in Imil."
"Mia? I haven't heard from her in ages, I wonder what she wrote," Ivan opened the door, now fully clothed, "May I see it?"
"I don't see why not, it's adressed to you, after all"
Hammet handed the letter over to Ivan who opened the envelope carefully, it really had been a while since he had spoken with any of the others. The letter read as follows:
'Dear Ivan,
How have you been? It's really been too long since we've all been together, so I have decided that we should go to Vale together to visit Garet and Isaac. It is my hopes that we can all spend a warm afternoon together in Vale having a picnic (as long as Garet doesn't pig out on everything and leaves some for us, anyways) or otherwise just for a get-together and good conversation. I don't await a letter and should get to Vault a few hours after this letter does, it was sent on ahead by a spreader of goodwill on his way to Suhalla. I shall see you soon,
Your friend,
Mia.'
"A get-together, huh?" said Hammet, reading over Ivan's shoulder, "sounds like fun."
"ah, yes, it will be nice to see everyone again. However, Hammet, you weren't mentioned in the letter, meaning I don't think she intended on you coming, as well."
"True enough, well, you'd better get going, I'll lend you a-"
"going? huh? but she said she was coming here..." said Ivan, bewildered.
"You forget where you are, m'boy! we're in Tolbi! Mia's probably already arriving in Vault by now!"
"Oh no! you're right! how will I meet up with her in time then?"
"Like I was saying before, I'll lend you my caravan so your speed across the land will be tripled, I believe you'll meet up with her before you get to Vault, but at least it will save some time if you go out to meet her instead of letting her come here."
"It's a long journey, but I'll be alright. I'll take my sonic sword* in case of any wild animals."
"God luck, Ivan! write home!"
____________________________________________________________________________ __ End chapter 1. *the sonic sword was the weapon I gave him, it increased his strength immensely (he did about 400 damage with a normal attack) so I decided "why not let him have it here, too?" anyways, I hope you liked the first chapter, please R+R!
