Ok here's my celebration of summer story. It's about what happens to Lloyd and Sheena when they go diving at Altamira.
After Lloyd and the gang had finally defeated Mithos the Fallen Hero, reunited the two worlds back into Symphonia, and regenerated the Giant Kharlon Tree, which is now named after Lloyd's mother Anna, however Lloyd secretly wanted to name it Sheena, but one; she would kill him, and two; he hadn't confessed his love for her yet.
Anyway, they decided to meet up back in Altamira for a well-deserved vacation. Upon arriving, they met a harassed looking woman, who asked them if they knew where her four daughters were. They agreed to help find them.
"Oh, why did we agree to help her?" asked a disgruntled Lloyd after spending a couple hours of searching. "We're suppose to be on vacation." He was getting fairly annoyed. He was hoping to spend this time trying to get closer to Sheena, not spending the time looking for little kids.
"Lloyd we promised her," replied Sheena, who was not as annoyed at Lloyd's boredom, it was one of the reasons she liked him so much. "Besides, after defeating Mithos, and all his cronies, having to find some kids is easy enough to be a vacation."
"But this place is huge, we've been searching two hours and the only one we found refused to return until we found the others."
"Perhaps we should split up." Suggested Regal out of nowhere.
"Yes," agreed Presea, "chances of finding all girls in a shorter time increase drastically."
"That's a great idea," inputted Genis, trying to impress Presea, "How should we do it?"
"Considering there are four girls to find, I say we go into four groups of two." Said Raine knowledgeably.
"Oh I expect my voluptuous hunny would gladly accompany me." Stated Zelos in his normal way.
"Oh shut up you idiotic pervert!" replied Sheena loudly, "I think I'd like to partner up with Lloyd, I...I mean if it's ok with you Lloyd." She said quickly after realising what she had said out loud. She was trying to hold in her blush.
"Huh? Uh sure, I'd like that." He replied sheepishly.
"Oh I get it." Zelos said slyly, "You two wanna get it on don't ya!"
SMACK! Sheena hit him round the head hard. "I suggest Regal should go with this guy." She said angrily, "He'll make sure this guy won't sneak off and flirt"
"I'm fine with that." Regal answered plainly.
10 minutes later; Lloyd and Sheena were searching the hotel. On the third floor, they seemed to find a girl on her own, who looked like one of the descriptions the woman gave them.
"Umm, excuse me young lady," asked Lloyd, "are you one of the four sisters who ran away from their mother?"
The young girl looked up, crossed her arms and said, "I refuse to talk to someone who's not good looking."
Lloyd looked shocked at this reply, but Sheena was livid, "How dare you?" she shouted, "Here we are trying to help your mother who's worried sick, and you have the nerve to insult my friend!" and then without thinking, "Besides I find him very handsome."
At this the girl looked scared, "Wow, you're more scary than my mom! I'll go back now." And she sprinted towards the elevator.
"Well that's that." Stated Sheena, still unaware she said Lloyd was handsome in front of him. She looked up to see him blushing. "What?"
"Do you really think I'm handsome?" he asked nervously.
"Uh...well I err...sh-shut up."
After they checked the rest of the hotel, they decided to make sure she had returned to her mother, they went back to where she said she'd wait. To their surprise, not only was the girl they found was there, but the other three were there as well
"Oh there they are!" exclaimed Colette in her always overjoyed voice.
"What took you guys so long?" asked Genis, an odd smile on his face.
"We searched the rest of the hotel before returning here." Replied Lloyd, oblivious to the meaning behind his smile.
"Yeah, right." Said Zelos, supporting a sly smile.
Before the destined blow from Sheena started, however, the mother interrupted, "Oh how can I ever repay you for your help?" she asked.
"Oh it was nothing, really don't worry about it." Said Lloyd, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh really it's the least I can do. I know, I'll get you all new swimsuits."
"Wow, thanks a lot!" they all answered.
They were all about to retire for the night when Sheena walked towards Lloyd and asked, "Say Lloyd, I don't suppose you'd like to go diving with me tomorrow, it's suppose to be really beautiful."
"Huh? Sure I'd love to, it sounds like fun" he replied joyfully.
"Really? Great, I'll see you tomorrow then." She was over the moon when she went to bed and was dreaming all the while about Lloyd.
'Wow,' he thought to himself in his room, 'I'm gonna be spending time alone with Sheena! Maybe I can pluck up the courage to actually ask her out.' and with this happy thought welded to his mind, he fell asleep.
Well there you go, chapter one. The next one's gonna show the event that brings the two closer. Please review.
