A/N: Well I'm going to continue this story. I'm glad people like it. This chapter will be longer. Much longer. I hope...
"Presea I'm sorry I'll tell you what's so funny..."Genis ran up to her and said.
"That would make me happy." Presea smiled.
"It was this joke..."Genis lied," How many dogs does it take to um...bury a bone?"
"Only one..."Presea responded.
"Ya thats...right..." Genis winced to himself.
"I fail to see the humour in that. I'm very strange..." Presea sighed.
"No. It was a bad joke." Genis tried to cheer her up.
"I understand."
"How many dogs does it take to bury a bone? You are an idiot!" Genis thought.
Colette was sitting with Lloyd by the fire. When she felt a tapping on her shoulder. It was Presea.
"Colette could I please speak to you?" Presea asked.
"Sure thing Presea!" Colette smiled.
Lloyd just sat there oblivous.
"Um...Lloyd..." Colette said.
"What?" Lloyd apparently wasn't good at taking hints.
"Never mind. Come on Presea let's go for a walk." Colette said.
"That would be nice." Presea replied.
Together the two of them went off.
"So what's the problem Presea?" Colette asked.
"It's about Genis..." she replied.
Colette fought hard to surpress a smile.
"Oh really?" Colette was trying so hard to not smile.
"Yes everytime he talks to me he turns pink in the face. Does this mean that he doesn't like me?" Presea looked earnestly up at Colette.
" No Presea. That is called blushing you only do it when you are embarassed." Colette replied.
"So he is embassed of me?"
"No.No. He is just embrassed to be around you because...he likes you" Colette hoped Genis would forgive her.
"OH..really...that is strange Lloyd doesn't always blush around you."
Now it was Colettes turn to blush.
"See you are doing it now...oh I understand I mentioned Lloyd so you started to blush...you are correct...so Genis likes me" Presea put together.
"Yup that's it." Colette stopped blushing and smiled.
"I am glad Genis likes me for I like him as well. Thank you Colette." Presea said and went back to camp.
"I don't think she gets what I meant by like," Colette thought to herself.
Meanwhile Genis decided he should get some other guys advice on talking to Presea. Zelos would only make fun of him and Lloyd isn't exactly an expert with girls so that only left one person...
"Regal do you think you could help me with something?" Genis asked him.
"I'm surprised you would ask me Genis but of course I'll help you." Regal replied.
"It's about Presea. I get all mixed up when I talk to her and..."
"You want her to like you." Regal said.
"Yes...how did you know?" Genis asked.
"It is apparent. Why did you choose to ask me for help? Zelos seems like the obvious choice." Regal questioned.
"Zelos would try and turn me into a minature him.."
"Yes that is true. I suppose you also came to me since I was once with Presea's sister." Regal told him.
"Well yeah. I know that Presea and Alicia are different but..."
"I understand. Here's what you should do...
Regal was cut off when the ground started to shake.
"Everyone the monster is here!" Raine yelled.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to where Raine was. The monster wasn't huge it was only about the same size as a golem. In fact it looked very similar to a Golem. It was brown and held a hammer in it's hand.
"This doesn't look to tough." Lloyd said casually.
"Don't count on it being weak Lloyd. I sense strong mana coming from it." Raine said.
"I am Fissure. I am one of the great Onori who have decided to rise and conquer this world." the thing said.
"Guys I think he's an Earth Monster." Genis said.
Lloyd ran in with his swords ready and slashed at the thing. His swords merely bounced off of him.
"What the hell?" Lloyd said.
"Lloyd don't rush in. This thing is extremely strong." Raine warned him.
"I don't think brute force is going to be the answer." Regal said.
"I agree. Genis and I should try wearing him down with some elemental magic." Sheena proposed.
"Ok. Be careful you two." Lloyd told them.
"I'll help too. I don't want my hunny and the brat to get in trouble." Zelos said.
"I will also assist." Raine added.
"The rest of us will wait here. If you start getting in trouble we'll come and help you." Regal said.
"Good luck guys." Colette cheered.
So the four of them ran toward the enemy.
"Cool off," Genis yelled, "Ice Tornado!"
A swirling mass of ice struck the strange being. It didn't seem to work.
"I call upon the Maiden of the Mist. Come Undine!" Sheena yelled.
Undine gave it all she had but too no avail.
"Damn this isn't working..." Sheena said.
"Burn Baby! Eruption!" Zelos's attack also had to affect.
"Hahahahaha did you actually think that your'e pathetic magic could actually defeat me?" the thing laughed.
It created a large rift in the ground. Sheena and Genis fell right into it.
"Not another hole!" Sheena yelled as she fell.
"Genis! Sheena!" Lloyd yelled as he ran up.
The monster smashed him with it's large fist.
"Lloyd we have to escape.." Presea said.
"But what about the others?"
"We will have no oppurtunity to save them if we are all defeated. We should retreat and gather a plan." Presea said.
"But..." Lloyd started.
"No Lloyd..Presea is right. Genis and Sheena are strong they should be fine...wherever they are.." Raine almost looked like she wanted to cry.
"Ok." Lloyd sighed.
A/N: There you have it. Where are Genis and Sheena now? You'll find out soon. So tell me what ya think.
