ipunchedawallandbrokemyhand: I had the dialogue planned for this chapter. And for your question, the answer is NO.

D.C.: You ARE reading? Wow. I hope that you keep on doin' it!


Genis... Genis... wake up, Genis...

Please... can you hear me?

Wake up...

Genis barely had the energy to open his eyes, and his vision was so blurred that it was no use opening them anyways. He couldn't see anything. All of the colors were swirled together, like a messy toddler's painting. He closed his eyes again.

Is he awake?

I hope so.

I saw him open his eyes.

Are you seeing things?

Genis...

By this time, Genis had opened his eyes again when his name was mentioned. He could now make out tall figures. But of man or beast, he did not know.

He should be okay.

He'd better be.

Lloyd, you know that's no way to act. He's unconscious!

Genis snapped his eyes open at the mention of Lloyd's name. He still could not see any better than last time, but he now knew that at least the figures were his friends.

He finally found the energy to move his hands. He rubbed them against his leather pants. Leather pants? Oh, I remember. So that's how I got here. I must have scared Lloyd and the others really badly. Unfortunately, I can't get up yet, nor see anything.

Look, he's moving his arms!

Genis wanted to get up as fast as he could, but the stiffness wasn't getting any better. But being the genius that he was, he thought of an idea.

Genis had control of his hands, so he rubbed his neck, chest, and legs vigorously to bring the feeling back into them. He was getting tired.

Look what he's doing.

That's very strange.

Are you sure that he's okay?

Nah, he's always like that.

Lloyd!

Lloyd was suffering because of him. Genis had to do something. With some hidden energy, he rubbed and rubbed and he got his legs working again.

Genis stood up, and promptly fell over again.

Oh no!

Great.

Brother!

Brat.

Zelos!

Genis's eyesight went back to swirly shapes and colors when he hit the floor. Genis got up, and this time leaned onto a wall near him.

Genis felt a pair of arms around his waist as he stared wildly around the room.

It's okay, Genis. Your sister is here for you.

Zelos, don't that you're seriously going to...

Rub...

Raine's butt...

ZELOS!

A resounding smack could be heard as Raine's palm connected with Zelos's skull. But in doing so, Raine let go of Genis and fell again, blacking out, just like on the stage.


When Genis woke up again, his eyesight was clear. He could tell where he was. He was in the Flainor Doctor's house. Uh-oh... I must have been hurt pretty bad.

"Are you okay, Genis?" said Colette.

Genis vaguely replied, "Uh, I'm... not..."

What he meant to say was 'I'm not sure, but I think I am.'

Unfortunately, he fell asleep out of weiriness.

The caused a frenzy.

He's not okay?

Do something!

Doctor, help him!

There's nothing I can do. He looks perfectly healthy.

But he just said that he wasn't okay!

And he blacked out again!

Genis was asleep, but he dreamt a dream that was what was actually happening, and he wanted the dream to stop.


Author Notes: I liked this chapter much better. The writing style improved and I am hoping to get more (or any) because of this chapter.
