Chapter 3: Girls Night Out.

Colette quickly rushed into the peaceful inn. The mist of night's color seeped through the large, grand window, casting a ray of dark, suspicious shadows, opposing the leaping strands of glowing moonlight mixed in. The light drew upon Colette's thin body and made it's way to her face, exposing the swollen stains of her gloomy tears on her soft, flushed cheeks. Her eyes pulsed with intensity, not from her usual contented glow, but with utter dismay, and the exuberant shine of her cobalt eyes were replaced by the gathering of bleak tears. They continued to pour out, like a large mass of rain, and were instantly replaced by others, eager to make their way down her tender cheek.

"I-I can't believe it," She sobbed aloud, between hyperventilations. "This has got to be…some sort of nightmare!"

Colette took in a deep breath of the moist air around her, and slowly trudged to the iron elevator in hopes of just letting it all out on her soft, plushy pillow, but a sudden movement of the elevator doors stopped her right in her tracks. Startled by the rapid movement, she weakly raised her right hand and swiped it across her damp eyes, whipping all of her tears that were blurring her vision, and then curiously watched who was coming out of the elevator. As the doors fully opened she saw two figures, and quickly recognized them as Presea and Raine.

"Colette?" Presea said, trying to wonder why she was out so late. "Why are you right here? And why is it that your face is so incredibly red?"

"…Oh I was just…" Colette pondered. "Should I explain what happened?" She asked herself in thoughts.

Raine calmly walked next to the wondering girl and matched her compassionate, worrying eyes toward Colette's horror witnessed pupils. "Colette," She began.

"…Yes Professor Raine?" She responded slowly, trying to hide her quivering voice.

"Let's talk," She demanded. "You are obviously very upset, and talking about it will make you feel better" She flashed a compassionate smile.

"Oh, um professor? I'm sorry but I am really not in the mood for talking," She lightly stated, shifting her eyes away from the two sympathetic girls and on to the cold, hard tiles of the inn floor.

"Colette, the probability of gaining masses of comfort by engaging the issue in conversation is indefinably higher than keeping it bottles inside of you. Please, tell us what's wrong," Presea, softly stated in a low monotone voice, but at the same time leaping with compassion.

Colette slowly dragged her soggy eyes up to the two girls standing before her, and nodded. "There probably right…"

"Ok, then let's go outside and get some fresh air, we can watch a play at the night theatre, just the three of us," Raine cheerfully stated, trying to rub off some happiness on Colette.

"Yes professor," Colette replied with a deep, hollow sigh, shortly followed by a quaint hyperventilation.

The three girls strived towards the doors and stepped out onto the cool, smooth pavement. The moon shone with a glowing intensity, hovering in the splatter of night's ink as the translucent, shifting clouds danced upon its surface and cloaked the many stars in it's area, reducing them to nothing more than a faint shine upon dull colors. Much like the joy left in Colette's heart, hidden beyond the growing clouds of despair.

Colette, Presea, and Raine gradually ascended the skinny, metal steps and onto the modern Water Train, twitching the still waters drifting around the transportation device.

"Where to ladies? The theatre/stage area, or the amusement park?" The worker eagerly asked while he prepared the Water Train for movement.

Even the slightest pronunciation of "amusement park" instantly shot painful images in Colette's dreary mind, causing a few uncomfortable shivers to race their way down Colette's petite spine.

"The theatre/stage area please," Raine politely ordered.

"Very well, have a great time," The worker cheerfully replied, as he steered the device down the steel tracks and into their desired destination.

Zelos Wilder let loose a howling roar of laughter as he slammed his alcoholic beverage onto to the smooth wooden table. He was completely surrounded by an army of scantily-clad women, eager to get their share of flirting with the great chosen, but they were soon getting fiercely competitive and impatient, and started violently pushing each other out of Zelos's sight, to make room for themselves.

"Now, now my sweet hunnies, there is enough Zelos to go around," The chosen boasted, while swinging his long, crimson hair across his head.

"Oh Zelos, your so charming!" One of the girls loudly screamed, followed by several other girly screeches, filling the whole room with that shrilly high-pitched tone.

"I know…I know," Zelos coolly replied, his ocean blue eyes brimming with utter self-confidence

Suddenly, his slender eyes followed the whispering shadows leading to the darkest corner of the whole bar, and that's wear he spotted a slightly narrow, shadowy figure, and the only facial feature you could see were two large, icy eyes. Intrigued by the strange figure, Zelos barged through the swarm of dense women and bravely marched up to the shady figure.

Zelos's eyes greatly expanded at the sight he was beholding. The figure was a slightly skinny women, on her tremendous figure was a pitch black t-shirt, with no apparent logo on it. Resting on the shirt was a large, midnight blue, leather jacket, with numerous zippers and connected chains randomly assorted onto it. She was wearing a shimmering dark green skirt that reflected the many neon colors bouncing around the lively room. On her feet were moderate sized, black boots that rode a bit higher than her ankle. She had metallic black hair, which descended upon her slightly small shoulders. Her soft, gorgeous lips were colored in a light shade of rosy pink, but the most vivid part of her face were her icy blue eyes, that resembled great glaciers, sliding upon an arctic wasteland, but in Zelos's point of view, the most noticeable thing was the fact she was well-endowed, almost the size of Sheena.

"My, my, my. What is a sweet, voluptuous hunny like you doing in a lonely corner like this? Come join me, and I'm sure we'll…have some fun," Zelos rudely stated, flashing a cheesy smile with his glistening white teeth.

The stunning girl lifted her frosty eyes and gazed upon this perverse intruder. "And who would you be?" She coldly asked, her voice was rough but at the same time, very delicate. Almost reminded Zelos of a certain someone….

"Oh pardon me, I am the great Zelos Wilder, and I would be very…pleased to grace you with my presence" He proclaimed, not giving any signed of removing his "dirty smile". "And what might your name be, my sweet little angel hunny?"

She kept her cautious glare on Zelos, trying to sense if he was up to no good. "Elaina" She roughly replied. Elaina pronounced "ee-lane-ah, for more clarification, she is around Sheena's size"

'My, what a pretty name you have there, to bad it has to be thrown off by your fashion taste" Zelos proclaimed, slightly grinning at his wittiness

An infuriated Elaina shot up and crunched her petite fists into a sharp fist. "Listen, if you want a fight…!"

"Oohh we have a feisty one now don't we" Zelos's giggled, and then started to gradually laugh more and more.

Elaina merely scoffed.

Zelos examined her every behavior, and then it suddenly hit him. "She really reminds me of Sheena…" He muttered under his breath.

Elaina's frozen blue eyes rapidly expanded, like a whole clod of water, instantly freezing. Suddenly she quickly raised her soft arms and pinned the chosen to a near by brick wall, her light blue eyes glaring directly at the befuddled chosen. "What did you just say!" She hardly yelled, grasping the attention of near by customers.

Zelos, very perplexed about the sudden outburst of energy, merely backed his head until the strands of his crimson hair reached the red, brick wall.

"Answer me!" Elaina again yelled, obvious amounts of impatient anger lingering in the echoes of her rough voice. "What did you say about Sheena?"

Zelos slightly calmed down, and let out a deep, relaxed sigh. Moving his head away from the cold, stiff wall, he struggled out of the rioting girl's grasp. "Oh, Sheena Fujibayashi? Do you know her?"

"Know her!" She sarcastically blared. "I…well you see…" She gave a slight hesitation, and let the mark of angers color drift away, and restoring the natural color into her face. "Just…tell me. Is she in Altamira?"

Zelos, looked into her radiant eyes, shock and wonder was burning inside of them, like a blazing typhoon, in the middle of a harsh cold environment. Such a sight gave Zelos the impression that whatever her relation to Sheena was, it wasn't natural. "Uh…yes she is," He faintly replied. Wondering if telling her was a smart idea.

Elaine bolded her head away from the pondering pervert and leaped away from him. "Now's my chance" She thought.

"Hey, you didn't answer me. How do you know Sheena?" Zelos questioned, his curiosity still plummeting to new heights, but his high hopes of an answer was greatly in vain, and he saw that the mysterious female had already dashed trough the swinging doors, like a black bullet, almost leaving a train of blurry winds behind her.

"Who was that? Who ever she is, she sure acts strangely…cute though…" His mind lustfully stated.

"Zelos!" One of his ditzy groupies called. "Come over hear, I miss you!"

"Oh, I'm coming for you my sweeties," He seductively proclaimed as he merrily skipped toward the squat the doting women.

Colette, Raine and Presea sat upon the creaky, oak benches as they witnessed the bizarre play in front of them. The multicolored Katz bounced around and chased each other in the florescent spotlight. They giggled, played and sung all in unison, creating the image of a complete rainbow of immature happiness. After a short while, each of the tiny kitten Katz invited one of the audience member to compete in challenging game, and if the won they would receive a grand prize.

"These Katz, they are very fascinating," Raine stated, slowly rubbing the bottom of her chin, as a sign of strange interest.

"Yes…very peculiar," Presea agreed, keeping her eyes tied in with the bouncing creaters.

Seeing the energetic little beings jump, and beam with energy couldn't help but to bring a soft, faint smile upon Colette's recovering face.

Suddenly, all the multi-colored Katz all simultaneously stepped back, while just one very petite, baby violet Katz took a few steps forward and cast it's soft, fuzzy paw to the blinking sky.

"And now for our final game, come on up and win a prize!" The exited kitten proclaimed. He shifted his deep, emerald eyes towards the 3 girls sitting in the front row of the wobbly bench. "Hey how about you?" He playfully asked as he pointed to Colette. "I can sense that you need some cheering up!"

Raine and Presea looked over at the stunned Colette, she certainly didn't expect this.

"Common Colette it will be fun!" Raine softly spoke, her mature eyes bubbling with hope that this will lighten the spirits of the young girl.

The cute, little Katz reached out its left paw and Colette gently placed her velvet hand in it as he helped her onto the neon lighted stage. Every individual in the audience cheered with encouragement, and the roaring and laughter seemed to fill up the deep night sky.

The purple Katz walked towards the hesitant girl and reached out it's warm paw at her. "Now, we get to play a classic game of Rock Paper Scissors!" The creature spoke, it's sea green eyes pulsing with sheer excitement, and it's tone loud and slightly obnoxious.

Colette grinned, this evening was beginning to light up for her. "Ok!" She happily replied, while placing her hand directly in front of the paw.

"Rock, paper, scissors!" The two yelled in perfect unison.

A large veil of white smoke covered the entire stage as it whirled around like a cotton blanket. When it quickly subsided the two results in their hands were revealed, and shone on by a sharp, yellow light. Colette's hand was scissors, and the Katz paw was paper.

"Oh you win!" The youthful Katz cheered. "But it's best two out of three!"

Once again, the two players flashed their hands (and paw) upon each other and another layer of bright smoke flew upon them. The crowd gazed with anticipation.

Once again, Colette's slender fingers were positioned like a scissor, but this time, the Katz held it's furry paw in a tight fist.

"Don't worry there is still one more try!" The pale colored Katz encouraged.

One final time, the two gamers let their hands wildly swing in the position of their choosing. Soon enough, the biggest mass of smoke drifted across the eager faces of the audience to keep them hanging in their own suspense. When it subsided, Colette's hand was flat out like paper, and the Katz hand was once again in a fist.

"I win!" Colette happily stated, while the audience repeatedly clapped their hands.

"You've gotta catch me first!" The Katz replied as his short, stubby legs leaped into the air and dashed across the small stage.

Colette gave of a happy smile as she accelerated towards the Katz. The other Katz triumphantly pulled out their musical devises and let loose a catchy, upbeat tune, only mixed in with the encouraging words of Colette's friends, and other entertained audience members. The moonlight dawned upon the energetic scene and blended in with all the other sparkling, eye-popping lights. The two happily chased each other and Colette was only a tiny distance behind the Katz until…

"Oof" Colette's gasped as she fell face flat onto the scene, several gasps escaped from the audiences as her collision caused the running Katz to fall over, but only to rapidly spin and flip to lands on it's furry feet.

"I'm ok!" Colette spoke in a fast paced tone, but then relieved an astonished gasp as she realized what her little tumble caused. "Oh, are you ok? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" She explained as she saw her seemingly unharmed friend.

"Don't worry, Katz always land on their feet!" The Katz joyfully replied. "But aren't you going to catch me?"

"Oh yeah!" The reminded Colette perked as she softly grabbed the light fur of the Katz." "Gotcha!"

Claps, cheers and laughter escaped all the bystanders as they witnessed the scene, but also because the two were all right after the little fall.

"Congratulations! Here is your prize!" The Katz happily said as he handed Colette a baby blue box.

"Thank you," Colette gracefully said as she received the long, narrow box.

"Until next time! Bye"! All the colored Katz said together as the grad, blood red drake fell upon the wooden stage.

Colette slowly descended the stairs, and was instantly bombarded by congratulatory words.

After a few conversations here and there, Raine quietly led Presea and her to the far back seat of the stand, and let them sit down on creaky sit.

"So Colette, you never really explained why you were in such a tizzy earlier today," Raine softly spoke, hoping she would profess her problems.

Colette's soft, cotton cloths gave of a slight muffle as she pointed her neck to the ground, but eventually the slow, painful words slipped out of her soft lips, with every word she described, a sharp pain swirled in her stomach, and her eyes started to moisten as she proclaimed and described the scene she witnessed.

Raine went over to her and gave her a big, warm, motherly hug. "I know you feel feel…" She began. "It's happened to all of us,"

"Colette, love is a very complex thing, only time and friends will heal you, but don't ever forget we are here for you" Presea implied while joining Raine in the hug.

Colette began to suck her tears up, causing her twitching nose to emit a loud sniffling noise. "Thanks, my friends, I do feel a bit better." Colette said, while trying to sound cheerful. The three friends joyfully conversed a while longer until they brightening stars led them back to the comfortable inn.

After they left Elaina stood up from the seat directly in front of where the conversation was held. "Perfect," She said aloud, while forming an evil smirk across her pinkish lips, as dark swirls of rage and vengeance caused her bright, icy eyes to temporarily morph into a darker shade of aqua.

Meanwhile, at the inn, Lloyd and Sheena impatiently waited for their companions to arrive through the steal doors. (After the date)

"Man, what's taking so long?" Lloyd violently asked while slightly twitching his chocolate eye.

"I don't know" Sheena thoughtfully replied. "They have sure been gone a long time"

"But at least waiting with you makes it all right" Lloyd joyful teased while making his way up to Sheena's neck.

"Oh, Lloyd!" Sheena moaned, between short chuckles as Lloyd gently planted his lips onto Sheena's neck and started making his way up to her delicate chin. Darkening the shade of red on their faces with each soft movement. Of course they didn't realize that they were still on the first floor, and the receptionist was still right there.

All of a sudden, a loud noise was cast through the doors, as they swung open with great force, letting Presea, Colette and Raine in from their night out.

Embarrassed about almost being caught, the two lovers spontaneously parted, and pretended that the situation did not occur.

"Oh hi Colette, Professor, Presea!" Lloyd softly greeted, still small splotches of blush assorted on his cheeks.

There ears still adjusting to from noisy hollers to peaceful whispers, Raine and Presea didn't hear Lloyd's greeting and has already made their way to the elevator up into their rooms for a good nights sleep.

"Must not of heard me" Lloyd thought with a surprising dash of logic. "Oh Colette!" Lloyd called while taking notice to her scarce movements. "How was your night, where did you go?"

Colette merely looked at Lloyd; her happy eye filled with promise was now hardened, and was replaced by sheer sorrow and disappointment. The large, drifting sapphire pools were now empty and hollow, they reflected nothing not disgust in the couple. Her slim eyebrows started to tilt to her eyes, giving of an angry, yet afraid stare, as cold as an ocean in the midst of winter.

"Colette, is something wrong?" A quick to notice Sheena asked, her eyes narrowing to understand why she was giving off such an unusual reaction.

A large, wave of shivers spiraled down Colette's spine, giving her uneasy twitches and sudden movements. She could not bare to hear the voice of the person who stole her only love away from her, she had to get out of there.

She slowly tilted her head over to the curious couple and directed her watering eyes in-between them. She gradually opened her quivering lips and struggled to from proper words. "D-don't s-speak to m-me!" She finally spat out; the cold words hit Sheena and Lloyd like a sledgehammer to the back of the head.

Before they could properly respond, Colette already darted towards the elevator, softly wetting the dry tiles beneath her with descending tears.

She made her way to her bed and threw herself onto it, causing a few ruffles and creeks. Suddenly, she remembered the prize she won. She dug deep into her hollow pockets and picked up the pale blue box. Gently opening it, gasping at the sight, she picked up the possession inside.

It was a necklace, around the size of the one Lloyd gave her. The chains glistened with a golden sparkle and in-between every four chains were small, ruby orbs. At the end of the necklace was a sparkling, oval golden locket with transparent wings attacked to the sides, inside was a picture of a glowing halo, and in shocking pink cursive righting wrote: "Smile" And that's what Colette did, this object was a sign of friendship between all her friends.

She roughly removed her Crusix Crystal and Key Crest from the old necklace Lloyd gave her and placed it inside the locket; a perfect fit. She then violently removed the other necklace Lloyd gave her and scrunched it into a small ball in her tight fist. "I don' want anything to do with him anymore!" Her mind screamed, and she threw it aside.

WHEW, that was a long chapter. In the next one, will Elaina's identity be revealed; could she try and spit up the perfect couple? And what will Lloyd say if Colette find the courage to react to him? If you read, please REVIEW PS: Sorry for any mistakes I made.
