Author's note: I'm sorry! I had a FULL schedule….. Im reallyreallyreallyreallyreally reallyreallyreallyreallyreally reallyreallyreallyreallyreally sorry! Here's my fourth chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Ocean. Tri-Ace does. The pic. on the Tri ebulum is like Tri-Ace's symbol. Did you guys notice that?

Everyday was the same: no clue on Blair's whereabouts. Sphere's condition is always fine, since Aire has kept Fayt informed everyday on Sphere's daily status. It has been the same on Elicoor, since Welch has also kept Fayt informed about Elicoor's daily status. Until one day…

"BEEP! BEEP!" rang the communicator. Fayt sighed as he opened the ringing communicator.

"FAYT!" someone shouted from the communicator.

"AHH!" Fayt screamed. The look on his surprised face was priceless. "Aire?"

"Fayt! Sphere's overloading!"

"What! How can that be!"

"We don't know!"

"Where's the panel for the safety wall in Gemity!"

"I hid it in Flad's house!"

"Well then come here and show me where it is!" Fayt said." And what will happen to Sphere?"

"It'll just shut down for a few days. So that means we can't do any research on Gemity's condition." Aire replied.

"Oh… okay. When can you come here?" Fayt asked.

"Maybe now if you like."

"Can you? Don't they need you there?"

"They can handle it on their own. Trust me. One time, I was gone and I putted hidden video cams and observed them. They did fine."

"Then I guess it's settled."

"Okay. See you there." Aire said and closed his communicator.

:"I better tell the others." Fayt told himself and went downstairs. It looks like chaos downstairs. Papers were scattered everywhere on the floor, and so was some ball pens. And the tables were disarranged. Then Fayt heard voices.

"I'M TELLING YOU GUYS THE TRUTH!" Flad shouted.

"BUT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LIVES HERE, NOT US! YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS DOOR!" everyone else shouted back.

"I MAY BE LIVING HERE, BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT DOOR!" Flad shouted back at them." IT JUST SUDDENLY OPENED WHEN I TOUCHED THE WALL!"

"WELL THEN DON'T SHOUT AT US! WE'RE NOT DEAF!" all shouted back.

"BUT YOU GUYS WERE THE ONES WHO STARTED IT!"

"DID NOT!"

"DID TOO!"

"DID NOT!"

"DID TOO!"

"PROVE IT!"

"YOU GUYS SHOUTED AT ME FIRST BECAUSE YOU GUYS THOUGHT I WAS AN EVIL GENIOUS AND WAS USING BLAIR FOR MY EVIL SCHEMES!"

"WE DIDN'T SAY THAT! CLIFF SAID THAT!" all shouted and pointed at Cliff.

"Hey! I said, I 'thought' not that he really was evil!" Cliff said.

"So just stop shouting at me and I'll stop shouting at you. Okay?"

"Fine…" all said.

"Hey guys?" Fayt asked, making everyone look at him. "What's all the commotion about?"

"When I touched the wall, a door appeared and they shouted at me because they thought that I was some evil genius!" Flad said.

"WE DIDN'T! CLIFF WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD US THAT!"

"SEE! YOU GUYS ARE SHOUTING AGAIN!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

"ENOUGH!" Fayt finally shouted, making everyone shut up and look at him. "Let's just see what's—"

"Guys! Sorry I'm late!" Aire shouted.

"Aire?'

"Fayt, you did explain that I was coming, right?"

"Well… they wouldn't keep quiet. There was a commotion about that door…"

"Hey! Who opened that panel for the safety wall?"

"I did." Flad said.

"How did you?"

"I just pressed the wall." Flad said. "And then it opened."

"Okay. I'll teach you guys how it works…" Aire entered and they followed. Aire taught them how the system works. Most of them understood it because the controls were very different from what they've seem before. Night came by pretty fast as they all went to bed.

It was past midnight and Fayt suddenly awoke from the sound at the other room. Fayt got up, and sneaked near Aire's door. After a while when he was about to go back to his room, he heard voices.

"So did you open the door?" a voice asked.

"No. Actually, Flad opened it accidentally." Aire said.

"Did you tell them yet?'

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Because they need to figure out the riddle for themselves."

"The riddle? How did it go again?"

"Somewhere In the sands of time, a door lies alone in the dark. Behind that door lies a place where mazes and puzzles are one. Beyond that place in another door, leading to another place where a castle stands firm on nothing. There on the top of the stairs where guards stand, you will find what you seek. But remember this: nothing lives forever for other generations to see, but it will live forever in a place deeper that space itself."

"Oh yeah… well see ya tomorrow. You will introduce me tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah. I will. See you."

"You too."

It would sound that the voice disappeared and Aire got ready for bed. Fayt went back to his room, mumbling.

"Who was that? And what did she have to do with Aire?" Fayt kept thinking as he laid back in bed and he fell fast asleep.

The next day was not a ordinary day. Someone was introduced to them.

"Aire? Who's that?" Fayt asked Aire. Aire was with a girl with long black hair, brown eyes and her clothes were like what Aire was wearing.

"Guys, I want you to meet Melany Lansfeld."

"Lansfeld?" Maria asked.

"Yeah. She's Blair's cousin."

Author's note: well, this is where it ends. After this story, I'm thinking of sending them back to elementary….oops….heh. please don't steal that idea. You can if I say that I won't do it. And I'll say it in the last chapter. Okay? Peace, I'm out. (",) and Melany is a MADE-UP CHARACTER BY THE AUTHOR.
