Alternate Tower Encounters: Ending Subchapter 2

Colette never felt alone in the group, but that's because a certain red-clad young swordsman was always with them. Lloyd had gone off by himself saying that he needed to think. Even though she knew he wouldn't be gone long she couldn't help but miss him. She felt that every minute he was gone she was falling more in love with the tactically brilliant and consistently hungry young warrior. She looked up as Kratos said something...

Kratos, "I'm going to take a walk, I uh, need to clear my head..."

Colette, "Um, Mr. Kratos, can I come with you?"

Kratos, "No, I need to be by myself for a while..."

Soon enough the entire group with the exception of her and Regal had gone off. Now she really felt lonely...

Regal, "Colette, why don't you go find Lloyd? I'm sure he won't blame you for interrupting his thoughts... He's usually very paitient..."

Colette, "Not the Lloyd I know... But then I guess that kind of why I fell in love with him... Because he's not what everyone else thinks he is..."

With those words Colette walks off in the direction Lloyd did nearly 6 hours ago. She finds him sitting in a tree...

Colette, "Lloyd do you mind if I come and sit with you?"

Lloyd, "Not at all..."

Colette, "What are you thinking about?"

Lloyd leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek...

Lloyd, "Only the most beautiful girl in existence..."

The rest of the night went like a blur. There was one other event that night that Colette wouldn't forget for the rest of her life... Lloyd was carrying her back to the camp, he set her down and pulled out a small black box...

Lloyd, "Colette, will you, um..."

Colette, "What?"

Lloyd, "Will you marry me?"

She then kissed him and the rest of the night she wasn't able to remember. She did remember having a sweet dream of her and Lloyd growing old together. Time seemed to fly by but they only grew happier... The dream faded away soon though as she found herself completely immersed in darkness but she could still see, by the moonlight. She was among a circle of sleeping bags. Various degrees of snoring were to be heard and she recognized every one... There were the mighty heaves of Kratos, the louder yet slightly weaker snores of Lloyd, the ear piercing belts of Genis, and of course who could mistake Zelos flirting with his dreams... Colette let out a small giggle as she looked around though, she remembered this might be the last time she'll ever see them... Tears streaked down her face and she rolled over back to sleep...

Do some of the parts of this one sound familiar? Lloyd and Colette are bound by destiny it makes since that their epilogue subchapters are linked at some points.
