Author's Note: First I have to thank my reviewers. They helped my confidence level build. Once again this chapter is Orlha and Glenn. It's sappy I'm gonna tell ya that right now! Serge is in a lil bit in the end, but still no sign of Kid... That's okay though she is in the next chapter! So is Serge, a lil of Orlha I think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Chrono Cross

Other Stuff: All right this is where a lil bit of the AU comes along... Okay it aint a lot though... Anyway, in my story Orlha and Glenn first saw each other at a bar and they fall in love er something, bla, bla bla! Another character by the name of Mary is mentioned, (Not in it just mentioned). She's just some brat who works with Orlha, I made her up.


Moving Forward Chapter 3

Glenn headed over to a tree and sat down with his back against it. Glenn was away from the others in the dark. Orlha walked over to him and sat down beside him.

"Glenn, what is a matter?" She asked.
"I have just been thinking a lot about things." He answered.
"What kind of things?" Orlha questioned.
"Well... May I ask you something, Orlha?" He asked.
"Sure, what is it?" She asked.
"Did you ever know your father?" He asked. She looked at him strangely, but it was to dark to see what Glenn was thinking.

"No, he died to long ago, my mother I can remember at least what she looked like. It's my sister though, she is the only one I can truly remember, but it's so strange." She said.

"What is?"
"They all died from the same sickness and I don't understand why I did not catch it and die with them."

"What's very strange is how similar my life is to yours, but yet it's just the opposite. I can't remember my mother, as for my father, he I can recall, but he died when I was still very young. It's my brother who stayed with me the longest and yet, he also died. From the same fate as my father. Then there is me, the last one standing. The youngest, sometimes I wonder if my time is running short." Glenn explained.

"Glenn, why are you thinking about these things now." Orlha questioned now with concern in her voice.
"The Viper is the closes thing to a father I have ever had, I was thinking about this because of his on coming birthday. I started to think of my family and how most of them have passed. This got me thinking about how the four of us came together. It was my way of moving on after my brother... How the two of us came together." Glenn said.

"Really..."
"Yes, and even with the Viper, Miss Riddel and Karsh, I still always felt very alone. And then one day I bump into a stranger in Termina and I meet his lady friend some days later, then I see you and I think, if only I could get to know her. Then all of the sudden you and that stranger's lady friend come knocking on my door just asking for help. So then I try hard to get closer to you, and when I finally do I think, wow has she been more alone then me? You know, ever since that day you came knocking on my door with Kid by your side, my alone feeling has disappeared."

Orlha thought a moment and then she leaned her head on his shoulder. She looked into the darkness and finally she spoke.

"I remember the first day I saw you. You came into the bar, sat down and right away Mary was taking orders from you like a dog. She ignored all the other customers. She forced me to do the rest of the work and I was not sure why, but then I saw. There seated at the bar was the most beautiful person these eyes have ever seen. I stood and examined you, suddenly you turned towards me. You looked me straight in the eyes and nowhere else. And I stared wide eyed and stupid looking back into yours. You gave me that charming smile and those blue eyes shined like never before. I froze and then I remember dropping a plate. That was when the moment was interrupted by Mary's screams. And it left me feeling embarrassed and foolish, but you still smiled at me then you left. Mary warned that you were to good for a blond like me. I knew she was right, but I wanted to know more about you at least your name or just to look at you. I would have given anything just to look into those eyes again and learn more about the one behind them. And now I get to look into them everyday. I can't believe how lucky I am you have spoiled me, Glenn." She looked at him.

"A spoiled one, can only be someone who does not realize how fortunate they are to have all they do. You re not like that in any way Orlha. I am though, look at me tearing about the past when my whole future is right beside me." He said. Orlha raised her head at the statement and looked at him straining hard in the dark, but all she could see were his eyes shinning and a shadow of his figure.

"What do you mean Glenn?" Orlha asked. Glenn began to fidget around some. He got to his knees as Orlha got to hers very curiously.

"Orlha please hold out your hands." Glenn asked. She did so and Glenn set something very small in them. It was to dark for Orlha to tell what the object was. Glenn held her hands and enclosed them over the tiny object. Then he looked her in the eyes the same way he had done many years ago the first time they had seen each other.

"Orlha, I love you and you know that." He said. Orlha's eyes were wide with shock.
"Please Orlha, you are the one who truly matters to me, so please would you in return show how you feel by spending your life with me. What I mean is, Orlha will you marry me." Orlha just glanced at him her eyes began to water.

"Oh my god Glenn, I... I can't believe this is happening." She said. Glenn laughed a bit.
"I know." He replied.

"Of course I will, you don't even have to ask me to do that." She laughed as she kissed him and hugged him. Glenn ignored the blond statement and helped her up. Orlha put her ring on as she began to cry.
"Glenn I'm sleepy." She said in a shaky voice.

"Come on, we will tell everyone tomorrow lets get you to bed." Glenn said as he walked her over to the tree house. Orlha's legs were shaking as they headed over and her heart was beating fast.

Orlha went to sleep immediately on the bed. Glenn laid next to her awake along with Serge.
"What is a matter with Orlha tonight?" Serge asked as he continued to write.
"I proposed to her tonight." Glenn responded.
"What!" Serge exclaimed.
"Shh." Glenn hushed.
"Sorry, but did she except?" Serge asked.
"Of course she did." Glenn laughed.
"Wow, I always knew this day would come, congrats Glenn." Serge responded.

"Thanks Serge, but don't forget your next. Good Night!" Glenn replied as he blew out the candle next to him.

"Wait a minute... what?!" Serge asked, but no answer came. Serge sighed and set his journal aside to the table next to him. He turned off the lantern and stared into the darkness until sleep finally found him.


Review! With Kid I think this fic will become better. Or I hope!
