Cruxis: Thank you very much. I haven't had any reviews for weeks, and this is the first one for this story. I was losing faith in it, but you reassured me that some people are still reading. And I've read some of your stories, they are quite good.


Genis walked through the halls, which were ironically painted mental hospital white. It made him wonder if he was really at the concert or if someone had lied to him and sent him to the wrong place. The cheers of the crowd stopped his daydreams. Genis thought to himself that maybe he was wishing that he was somewhere else. 'Why would I want that?' he wondered. Did he really want to do this? 'It's too late now.'

Genis could hear the noise growing rapidly after he rounded turn after turn, corner after corner. He finally reached the last turn. Genis took a deep breath. Then another. And another. 'It's time.' He said to himself. 'You've kept the fans waiting long enough.'

When Genis turned onto the stage, he couldn't believe his eyes. There, in front of him, in the stands, was all of Sylvarant and at least half of Tethe'alla. He started to feel butterflies in his stomach. Not one or two, but hundreds. He stared desperately into the crowd, searching for Lloyd and the rest of his friends. If he saw them, he might be able to do this. He tried and tried, but no Lloyd, or anyone else.

Genis felt like he was about to throw up. His head started spinning and he could almost hear the butterflies in his stomach talk to him.

Genis heard the signal that the music he would sing to, or should I say, rap to, was about to start. After hearing that, Genis fainted, and his head slammed against the cold, hard, floor when he fell over. Everything went black.


Author's Notes: I know, I just keep giving you short chapters. But I wanted to leave you at a cliffy, so I guess it can't be helped. R&R? Maybe?
