A/N: YOU GUYS ROCK! I'm already on eleven favorite lists and six alerts. You guys really like my fanfiction! I'm honored. I've even had over 55 reviews for six chapters! Some people never even get that much! Once again, you guys rock. My goal is to get over one-hundred reviews by the end of the fanfiction. Remember to read and review and keep me goin'. I know I can count on you guys.

So far, everyone who reviewed liked my Fake Chosen idea, so I'm going to go ahead and write it. It will be titled "Lousy Imposters" and will be a mix of humor and action. Expect to see sometime in July.

Sorry to keep you all waiting to read. This is chapter seven, and it will be a huge romance chapter. So will the next chapter. This chapter, however, will be one of the most important romance scenes in the story, though. And no, there will be no sex! I just couldn't make myself write about sex in detail. That's not my style. So, please enjoy and review!

Chapter 7: The City of Love

"Okay, Luin at last!" Sheena said as she landed her Rheaird in front of the beautiful lakeside city. She had flown straight from Heimdall. It was almost evening, the ride had taken all day. It looked to be about 6 or 7 o' clock. She got off her Rheaird and nudged Lloyd. He had been asleep then entire ride. He was still sleeping. And drooling. And he couldn't have looked any cuter to Sheena.

"Lloyd...Lloyd, we're here," Sheena whispered softly, trying to wake him up. "Come on, Lloyd!" she said louder, pulling on his arm. He still didn't wake. "LLOYD! Wake up!" she yelled, growing angry. She placed both feet on the Rheaird and pulled Lloyd with all her might. He finally came flying off the Rheaird and landed right on top of her. Just like in Triet. Finally, he woke up. And found himself lying on top of a blushing Sheena.

"Uh...did I miss something?" Lloyd said as he woke up, staring down at the blushing ninja.

"Yeah, I was trying to wake you up when you fell on top of me," she said, embarrassed. "Get Off!" she said, agitated.

"Um...I can't," Lloyd said, also blushing. "I can't move my leg."

"Oh..." Sheena said as her face changed back to that of one with concern. "Sorry, here..." she said as she slipped out from underneath him carefully. "Here, grab my hand."

Lloyd reached up and grabbed Sheena's hand with some effort. She pulled him up. "Now, put your arm around me," she instructed. He did so. Sheena helped him walk like this. The two headed into town together. Some people stopped to stare. Sheena ignored them.

"Oooof..." Sheena groaned as they reached the inn.

"What's wrong?" Lloyd asked awkwardly.

"You...are...heavy," She said, panting, as she opened the inn door. "Ugh, what have you been eating?" she asked.

"Uh, pretty much everything," he said. The two laughed. The innkeeper heard the laughter and turned to them immediately.

"Hello, welcome to Luin! How can I be o service?" the innkeeper said in an all-too-fake cheery voice.

"Yeah, can I get a room? It has to be big enough for both of us," Sheena said.

"Why of course! Would you like,"

"I don't care, just give me the room!" Sheena interrupted, ticked off. She was angry for three reasons. One, she was supporting a 180 pound boy. Two, she was hungry and tired. And three, the innkeeper hadn't taken his eyes off her chest since she arrived. His eyes were glued there.

"Um, very well. That'll be 500 gald."

Sheena grabbed the key and headed off up the stairs. Which was rather hard as she had to support Lloyd. She could feel the innkeeper watching her as she climbed the stairs. She would get HIM later.

Ten minutes later, Sheena had Lloyd in one of the room's beds. They had just finished eating some curry Sheena had made. Lloyd must have been feeling better because he had just finished his third bowl and was reaching for a fourth when Sheena spoke.

"Um, Lloyd, I was just wandering," Sheena said, "Why was it you wanted to come here, to Luin?"

"I always liked it here in Luin. It's always so peaceful," Lloyd answered. "It's also the first place we really met, remember?"

"Yeah, it's also the first place you hit on me!" she said. The two laughed as they remembered Lloyd's first lame attempt.

"Yeah, and there was one other reason I wanted to come here..." Lloyd said, trailing off. But, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Sheena go up to answer it. And she was greeted by Genis, Presea, and Raine.

"Guys! What are you doing here?" Sheena asked as the three came into the room.

"What!" Lloyd said, excited. He was so excited, however, he fell out of bed. "Gaagh..."

Raine saw Lloyd and just ran past Sheena to tend to his wound. Genis, polite as always (snicker), spoke up.

"We were in the area, trying to stop half-elf prejudice. Raine was giving a speech when we saw your Rheaird land. So, we came to help. Presea's been helping us, too."

"Where are the others?" Sheena asked.

"They are in Altamira on vacation," Presea answered. "Where is Yuan?" Presea asked innocently. She immediately regretted it as she saw Sheena begin to cry. Sheena told them the whole story. At the end, all three of them had shocked expressions on their faces.

"So...Yuan is...dead?" Genis asked, shocked.

"...No..." Presea said, unbelievingly.

"Hey!" exclaimed Lloyd. "Don't get mad at her! She just did what she had to do," he said as he bowed his head. "She did what I couldn't..."

Sheena smiled. "Thanks, Lloyd."

"There, finished!" Raine said. They all turned to look at Lloyd's leg. It was now properly bandaged.

"All right, Raine!" Genis said.

Raine smiled and turned to Lloyd. "Okay, now that your leg is properly treated, you should be able to walk fine in just a couple of days. Until then, use this."

"What!" Lloyd exclaimed. "A crutch! I don't know how to use a crutch!"

"Here, I'll help," Sheena said, sighing. She got up and taught him how to use the crutch. He was using it perfectly in just a couple of minutes. He caught on rather quick.

"Sheena, how do you know how to use a crutch so well?" Lloyd asked. Sheena smiled.

"I once broke my ankle on a mission in Mizuho. I had to use crutches for a couple of weeks."

"Wow!" Raine exclaimed. "You broke your ankle when you were young, and now you are still able to perform all of those acrobatic moves so well!"

Sheena blushed, embarrassed. "Well, Mizuho is rather strict about keeping their people in shape."

"Yes, but still," Raine continued. "You must have quite an increased healing factor!"

Raine could have continued on like that for hours and embarrassed Sheena to no end had Presea not spoken up.

"Please, It is rather late. We should get to sleep and rest for tomorrow."

"Sure thing," Lloyd said. "Our room has four beds. You guys can stay here!"

"But, there are five of us..." Genis said. Raine smacked him before he could continue. He suddenly understood as he saw Lloyd and Sheena blush. "Oh..."

The five heroes got into their beds. Lloyd and Sheena were sleeping together as usual. (I can't believe I just wrote that!)

"Here, Lloyd let me help you," Sheena offered.

"No thanks, I got it–whoa!" Lloyd said as he fell over. Sheena laughed. "Okay, you can help."

The two finally got into bed. Lloyd pulled the covers over them as Sheena cuddled up to him. She placed one hand on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her as she rested her head on his shoulder. She shared one last kiss before falling asleep.

From across the room, Genis snickered. Raine hit him.

In the Morning

Sheena woke up alone. She go up and looked around the room, looking for Lloyd. She saw the door to the balcony was open. She smiled. She quietly got up and began to sneak towards the door. She wanted to sneak up on Lloyd and get revenge for Triet.

She looked out the door and saw Lloyd staring out into the sunset. He was leaning on the railing. Suddenly, he spoke.

"You don't have to sneak up, Sheena. I can tell it's you." Sheena nearly tripped.

"How did you know it was me?" She asked, curious. She couldn't believe that Lloyd had caught her.

"I just...recognized you," he said as he turned to face her. "You think I wouldn't even be able to detect my own girlfriend?"

"I must be slipping," she said. The two laughed. The two embraced, hoping Genis couldn't see this. After about two minutes, the couple finally stopped kissing and looked out into the horizon.

"Wow..." Sheena said. "Now I know why you wanted to come here! It's beautiful."

"Well, there is another reason..." Lloyd said, blushing. Sheena looked at him, curious.

"What's that?" she asked. Lloyd quickly changed the subject.

"Um, Sheena? Would you like to go on a walk with me?" he asked. Sheena smiled.

"Sure, let's go!" The two shared one last kiss before heading out into Luin.

"Wow, it's even mor beautiful out here!" Sheena exclaimed. It was true. The island city was just waking up. Waves lapped against the beach and the sun was just rising. People were getting up and opening up their shops.

"Yeah, I told you," Lloyd said. "And it's thanks to us that it is this way."

"Yeah," Sheena said. "Um, Lloyd can we go to some other part of town?"

"Sure, why?" Lloyd asked. Sheena blushed.

"Well, the part with my statue is coming up."

"Ah," Lloyd said. He remembered that her statue always embarrassed her. Zelos once said it was something to do with measurements. Lloyd had never understood that. "Sure, let's go this way. I know just the spot." 'Just the spot for my big surprise,' Lloyd thought.

Soon, the two arrived at the Luin Fountain. Suddenly, Lloyd also began to blush.

"What's wrong, Lloyd?" Sheena asked. He pointed to his statue.

"I guess it is rather embarrassing..." he said. The two laughed. Suddenly, Lloyd blushed even deeper.

"Is something wrong, Lloyd?" Sheena asked again. He was behaving rather strangely.

"No, nothing is wrong. But...do you remember this place? This is where you joined our group. This is where we first became friends, remember. It's the first place we really met!"

"Yeah, I remember," Sheena said, smiling. "You're the one that saved me. You made Raine heal me. That was really brave of you."

"Thanks," Lloyd said, blushing. "Um, Sheena, do you mind if I ask you a...question? A really important question?"

"Uh, sure," Sheena said, blushing. "What is it, Lloyd?"

Suddenly, Lloyd dropped down on one knee (which was actually rather painful). He dropped his crutch. Sheena blushed almost as much as Lloyd. She was confused. What was Lloyd doing?

Lloyd spoke as he reached into his shirt pocket. "Sheena..." he started. "Sheena Fujibayashi, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Would you marry me, Sheena?"

He opened the box to reveal a beautiful handmade ring. It was a gold ring with a purple diamond that shined in the early morning sun.

For Sheena, it seemed as if time had suddenly frozen. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind. Is this real? Am I dreaming? This is what I've been dreaming about! This was the exact moment she had been dreaming about for a year.

"Lloyd...Lloyd, of course I'll marry you!" she cried. Tears of joy came flooding down her cheeks. She kneeled down and kissed Lloyd. They kissed no longer as best friends. No longer as boyfriend and girlfriend. They kissed as soon-to-be husband and wife. Finally they pulled apart and heard...applause.

The two looked around to see a small crowd had gathered in front of the fountain. There were two dozen people there, clapping and cheering. And at their front were Genis, Raine, and Presea. Applauding wildly. Presea was jumping up and down. Lloyd and Sheena both blushed a deep crimson.

"Congratulations!" Raine said, crying with joy.

"Did...did you do this?" Lloyd asked, embarrassed.

"Yep, we all did!" Genis said. "As soon as everyone found out who you two were, they were more than glad to help out!" Everyone let out another cheer.

"But, why?" Sheena asked. She was blushing as much as humanly possible.

"Because we wanted this to be a moment to remember!" Presea said joyfully.

"Now I can say I saw the proposal of marriage between two of the Great Symphonian Heroes!" Raine said, excited. "This will be in history books!" That only made The two blush even more.

Finally, the citizens began to disperse and left the five heroes alone at the Fountain. Genis walked up to them.

"Sorry about that! We just wanted to show our congratulations!" he said.

"We wanted you two to know just how much you mean to us!" Presea said as soon as Genis finished.

"And we fully support your decision!" Raine said with a smile. Lloyd and Sheena both smiled.

"Wow! Thanks, guys!" Lloyd said.

"I don't know what to say," Sheena said, embarrassed.

"Well, we're going to see the others in Altamira tonight. You guys should come, too!" Genis said.

Lloyd looked at Sheena. "Well, do you want to go to Altamira?"

She smiled. "Definitely!" she said as she kissed him.

The other three just looked on as the soon-to-be husband and wife kissed. They looked at each other and smiled. This would be quite another kind of adventure!

A/N: Boo Ya! And that's chapter 7! I told you it would be an important romantic scene! Lloyd proposed to Sheena! They're gonna get married! If you don't think that's romantic then your dead inside. I hope you all loved it. The next chapter will be another romantic chapter that takes place in Altamira with the rest of the ToS gang. I should update in two or three days. Remember to review!

I'll be starting "Lousy Imposters!" in July. Until then, I hope you all love "Together Forever". It's been a real blast writing this story. Only five chapters left. Remember my goal is over 100 reviews! I want to thank everyone who has read and reviewed. I'm deeply honored. Next up, Chapter 8: Vacation in Altamira. It will be a purely romantic chapter because chapter nine will be a big action chapter. So once again,

PEACE OUT!
