Disclaimer: Yup, me owns nottin'! However, if it can be arranged, I'd like to borrow Magus for a little while...Oh come on! Pleeeeaaaasse!

Thanks to all of you who reviewed! I wasn't expectin it really! Please keep reviewing, it makes me feel all happy inside!

Oh yeah, I wasn't feelin' too funny latley so it kinda sucks, but oh well. I decided to go ahead and post it...

I'm Where!

Chapter three: Magic? …booyah!

Now I know what you're all wondering: In Chrono Trigger, only three people can travel through time, right?

Well, you're wrong.

It seems as though the game has lead us astray because the epoch is big, and I mean really big. Well, maybe not THAT big –it could only contain a maximum of four people—but you get the picture.

The remaining party members would evidently take the gate key and go through the gate.

Anyways, I was supposed to be riding in the epoch with Lucca, Magus, Frog, and Robo –a tight fit, but there was no other choice.

You know, the epoch is also really shiny come to think of it…

"Are you coming, or are you going to stand there gaping like an idiot?" Magus sneers.

"Pcht, no," I retort, lamely I now realize. He simply smiled in that 'you're an idiot and I'm not' way before climbing in with everyone else. Yah that's right you cocky bastard, I'll get you back later…if only he wasn't so darn hot I could be madder!

"Ignore him," Lucca told me encouragingly. "He's probably just jealous that you have a magical power that he doesn't!"

I smile before flipping my hair back and replying, "Who wouldn't?" overly dramatically. Lucca laughed as she helped me into the cockpit. Seeing as how we were the last two on board, and since Lucca happened to be driving, there was only one seat left, and guess who was it by?

Yep! Magus. He had his eyes closed and legs in my way as I tried to sit down.

"Excuse me, but can you move your leg so I can sit?" I try to ask as politely as I can muster.

But, then again, that's not saying much.

Needless to say instead of coming out with a sweet smile as planned, I glare. Oh well, I can try my manners with someone else, they'd simply be wasted on him…

"…"

See? Way to prove me wrong, Maggie…ha ha, Maggie.

"Hello?"

"…."

"Heeeeelllllo!"

"…"

Okay now I'm getting mad.

"Move your legs SMARTASS!" I yell while hitting the back of his head hard.

"What the !&# do you think you're doing?" he yells back, standing up swiftly. Before I knew it, he had grabbed his scythe from nowhere and tried to take my head off. Thankfully, however, my head was saved by a certain frog and his certain big, magical sword.

If I ever take you home as a pet, Frog, you're going to get a whole bunch of…wait. What do Frogs eat?

"Control thy anger wizard! I will not have thee slaughter our new friend!"

"FRIEND!" Magus bellows turning his gaze toward me, pointing. "She just smacked me upside my head!"

Yah, I DID. It was pretty funny too!

Of course I didn't voice such thoughts, I don't really want to die now do I? But, then again it WOULD be hilarious to see his reaction at being down graded even further. Thinking about this causes me to grin a little out of the corner of my mouth.

Of course Magus caught it…

And he looks pretty mad…

He really wouldn't kill me would he? Of course with THAT kind of look in his eye, he's not far off from doing just that…SAVE ME FROGGY!

…I really need to work on my people skills, or Magus Skills.

"I saw the whole thing Magus, and you wouldn't move your legs for her and didn't answer her when she asked for you." Robo points out from his position against the wall.

Magus's eyes flare an even brighter shade of red before he finally succumbed to the glares all across the room. Ah, yes. He finally realized that there was more of them on my side, so, before glaring at me, he hmphed and moved over giving me the seat.

"Ah, it's still all nice and warm!" I exclaim cheekily as I sit down, thus earning another well placed glare by my favorite badass.

Needless to say, Magus and I got off to a very bad start….

"What in the heck…" I cough as I slowly come out of the cockpit and onto the street in the middle of a black abyss. Taking a ride in the epoch had made me extremely sick which I displayed as soon as my feet hit the ground.

There goes dinner… Extreme extra GROSNESS! Ack, and now lunch too…Eeeeewww.

"Ick…" Magus turned up his nose as he stepped across the puddle now created.

"Oh no, don't help me. I'm FINE!" I say sarcastically as I make my way, if a bit wobbly, over to the rest of the group. When I finally appear, and the world finally quits spinning, I find out that they had already told Gaspar about me since as soon as I came over he exclaimed, "Oh! So you're the new one!"

Yeah, a real genius that one.

"The one and only." This time I actually did manage a nice smile. Yay me! Improvement!

"Hm, you really aren't from this world, are you?"

Haven't we already been over this? No, I just happen to look completely different from everyone else and came from some huge purple gate dimension thingy. Argh! Way to point out the obvious old man…

"No, I don't come from here. I come from a different dimension from the year 2005." Much more polite sounding eh?

"Hm…"

You know I was kinda expectin' more.

"…"

…okay, a lot more.

"Um, Gaspar?" Marle asks, eyeing the old man timidly. Suddenly I finally realize why he's not answering us: he's asleep! Geez! How disrespectful! I mean I know that he sleeps a lot, but geez!

"Hey, old man, WAKE UP!" I yell into his ear. Needless to say I got my desired reaction seeing as how he jumped a mile high. It even caused Magus to smirk a bit, man am I on a roll today!

"Wha? Oh, sorry, I must've dozed off..." he laughs. Yeah, ya think?

Crono, looking just as timid yet slightly annoyed, spoke, "Um, that's okay Gaspar. We were just wondering though, what should we do? She IS some sort of prophet after all."

"Hm? Really?" he asks, looking to me. I nod my head while Magus snorts. Is it just me or is Maggie a little jealous? Ha, I think I can use this to my advantage…after I learn how to fight extremely well of course.

"Hmph, she SAYS she's a prophet," Magus says, slightly glaring at me. Instead of cowering in his gaze like he obviously expects, I glare back and did an interesting little gesture sort of like how Marle kisses her bum to taunt the enemy.

Ha, yeah. He didn't like that.

"Oh yeah Magus?" Lucca intervenes just as he was about ready to grill my hind end –extra crispy, I fear, "Then how does she seem to know an awful lot about, oh I don't know, EVERYTHING!"

"Humph, and how do you know if she's telling the truth, four eyes?" he asks, towering over her for emphasis. Without any fear (okay maybe I say a little bit of fear in there) she stood on her heels, being as Magus is so much taller than her, and looked him in the eye. If there was any fear in her eyes before it was immediately extinguished with anger. Trust me, that girl's got a temper!…it's actually quite hilarious if not scary.

"B…b..because she can prince-pain-in-my-ass!" HA! I'm gonna have to remember that one!

Okay, now I really must take a mental picture of this situation right now. Each is red in the face, from anger not embarrassment, and are mere inches from the others' face. I mean they could be kissing and look: they already have nicknames for each other too! I guess I won't have to do that much to get these two together! Of course the nicknames they're screaming to one another at the moment happen to be a bit too colorful for description…

Ah yes, it's a budding romance.

…Shut up it is! Or at least it WILL be.

Since Marle, Crono, Frog, and Robo (Ayla just doesn't seem to care) aren't gonna do anything out of fear for their lives, I suppose I outa step in.

Aw, but they just look so cute screaming at each other – I'd hate to break it up.

Okay, black magic sparkiness isn't a good sign…

Neither is red, firey twitchiness either…

"You know, you guys look like you're about ready to kiss or something," I say slyly. Ha, that got them both to shut up! "So, if you're gonna go and make out we can give you the money to get a room…"

"Ack! NO! Ah! How can you even think of something like that! He's just so…so Magus!"

"What! Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, would EVER make me wish to…Ack! I'd never even dream of it! It's the grease monkey for crying out loud!"

"Okay, then shut the hell up and get out of each other's faces!" Blushing a little deeper, they both back off and instead reside to glaring. I sigh thankfully as does everyone else.

"Ahem, anyways," Crono says again. "What were you going to say Gaspar?"

Of course, the old bum's asleep again, so I simply HAVE to give him a… a subtle reminder to remember his manners and wake up.

SMACK!

"Ouch! Oh, I suggest that you go ahead and make her an official part of your crew – she may become quite useful with her knowledge…" with that he fell asleep, AGAIN.

"Well, that settles it." Crono said, turning to me with a beaming smile. "Guess you'll be tagging along with us!"

WHOOT! My days of being incredibly bored are OVER BABY! I punch the air for emphasis while doing a sort of dance pulling Marle and Lucca into it with me. I just can't control myself, I'm just too darn happy! But then again, how will I get home? And more importantly when?

"Um, you guys. How will I get home?" I suddenly ask stopping right in the middle of my dance. "I mean, I can't stay here forever – I have a home to go to."

"That's a good point." Lucca says while prying Marle from her (Marle was still doing the happy dance and now pulled Ayla and Frog into it as well).

"Hm, well we could just modify the epoch some how after we defeat Lavos." Crono says shrugging it off. For goodness sake! This is the way I'm going home after all! Doesn't that count for anything!

…Wait. This is the way I'm going HOME.

"Yeah, we'll just worry about that when the time comes." Isay.I'm not in that big of a rush to go home so soon. Anywho, back to the more important and immediate things…I'M PART OF THE TEAM!

"Magus! I'm part of the team!" I say while twirling around him. He rolls his eyes.

"Whoop di doo." He replies sarcastically while twirling a finger. He walks off to his corner of the room to brood I suppose. Yeah, I'm simply gonna HAVE to get him a life...and a girlfriend.

Okay then, IGNORING YOU! You will not put a damper on my good mood right now Maggie-poo! Ha! Maggie- poo! Hey where does this door lead to? Hmm, it looks so familiar…

"Hey, a new comer!" a blue gremlin lookin thing says from the center of the room. I know who that is!

"SPEKKIO!"

"Hugh? Have we met before?"

"Um, no, but you're like Freakin' awesome?" He just sits there looking at me blankly. I know I'm beauuuutiiful, but come on.

"So…"

"So."

"So are ya here to learn magic or what?" he asks. Magic? Sweet! I can learn some freakin magic too! This is an AWESOME day! Minus the part where I may never get home.

Hm, I wonder if the other guys would be okay if I go ahead and do this without them…what am I saying, of course they will! They're reasonable! It'll just be a…a surprise! Yeah, that's it, a surprise.

"YES!"

"Okay, since you're with the team I don't think ya have to do the exercise, so let's get down to it!"

Cool, I didn't want to walk around the room anyways.

After walking around me and inspecting me thoroughly (poking and prodding) which was totally unnecessary, he finally stopped in front of me.

"Hm, it's hard to tell what specific magic to give you…" Ha, maybe I should tell him I'm from a different world.

"But there's one that seems to be stronger than the rest."

Hugh?

"Hugh?" Hey, I'm not a poet.

"Yes, yes. I think I'll give you…"

"LIGHTENING!"

"Hey, how did you know?" he asks some what innocently which happens to be totally scary coming from an ugly gremlin.

"Ugh…because I'm a prophet!" His eyes widen considerably.

"What? Really! That's awesome!" Yeah, it's very awesome considering I'm LIENIG THROUGH MY TEETH!

"Uh, yeah. So, are ya gonna give me some magic or what?"

"Hm? Oh! Yeah, of course I will! Here stand back." I do as told while he stands in the center of the room again. "IPSO! FACTO! MEANIE! MOE! MAGICO!" You know, I never really realized exactly how idiotic that sounds until now, but oh well. If it works it works.

Suddenly, energy courses through my body and I'm being lifted through the air. Heh, I feel all giddy inside. Weird, but a good weird. As I land back on my feet I rise up my hand and blankly stare at it. Hm, I wonder what happens if I…

"Ow! Hey! If we're gonna practice at least give me some warning or somethin'!" Spekkio yells as a lightening bolt zaps him in the butt. Ha, I can work with this.

"Spekkio, can you teach me how to master these powers?" I ask calmly though inside I feel as if I'm on a sugar high.

He grins a lopsided grin, again SCARY on a goblin! "Of course, but I won't go easy on ya! I AM the master of war after all!" I flash him a cashire cat grin.

"I wouldn't expect anything less…"

After about the fiftieth time of getting my ass handed to me by the annoying blue goblin, I finally manage to master most of my powers – I don't know how I know that, I can feel it. Anyways, my attacks aren't like Crono's. In fact, besides the fact that we each have lightening sparkiness going for us, my attacks are original.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go show Magus my new abilities…

"Oh Maggie! I have a surprise for ya!"

End of Chapter

Alas I must end it here. Poor poor Maggie-poo, he's probably going to go through hell.

Anyways, I finally have ideas for some of the chappies! Of course the ideas I have happen to take place further in the story...darnit. Oh well.

If you looooovvvvee me can you pleeeeeaaase review! Heck, I don't even care if it's flames - I could find something in a meaningless flame to improve upon. So, REVIEW!
