Note: Hi again! At the moment, I am trying to aim to update this story at least once a week/once every two weeks, but after this chapter, I won't be able to update every week/two weeks because my end of year exams at school are coming up, and I must revise. But after 11th June 2004, I think I will be able to get back to normal! Yay! And I have the whole summer holidays to write the rest of this story. By the way, I'm gonna be starting my Beyblade fanfic (the first fic about Kai to those people who have read my bio), but only after I have finished at least chapter five of this story. I don't mind if you review or not, but please do, because that would be lovely. I don't really mind flames either, but I would rather not have any. Thank you, and enjoy.

Disclaimer: No, I don't own Golden Sun ( it would be cool if I did though).

Golden Sun: The Fight for the Stars

Chapter 1: Reunion

It was a bright and sunny day. Isaac was sitting under the tree in the centre of Vale, dozing, while Garet was scoffing down a lot of cakes. Suddenly, Jenna and Kraden walked up.

"Hello young Isaac, Garet." Kraden smiled.

"Hi."

"Ummmmm..." Garet tried to say.

Jenna ignored him and turned to Isaac, her hazel brown eyes sparkling with excitement, but at the same time, he detected a little resentment.

"We have some really good news for you. Sheba, Ivan, Piers and Mia are coming tomorrow!"

"Why?" Isaac asked, surprised, yet happy. Garet gave them a big oafish smile, but still couldn't talk properly due to all the cake in his big mouth. Jenna rolled her eyes, but continued.

"Don't you remember what day tomorrow is?" Jenna grinned. Isaac shook his head. "Tomorrow's the anniversary of the day we saved the world, remember?"

At last, it dawned on Isaac. His lilac eyes narrowed a little as he remembered beating up the Doom Dragon, which had happened to be made up of his Dad, Kyle, and Jenna and Felix's parents. Luckily, the Wise One had revived them. (They're alive!)

But all the same, Isaac was thrilled. He hadn't seen his old friends for about a year, and he looked forward to it. He couldn't wait.

The next day...

As Ivan and Sheba walked into Vale, they saw Isaac, Garet, Jenna, Felix and Kraden standing there looking around. Ivan, being curious, read their minds. (Let's see if you can guess who says what.)

"I wonder if I can wait at the bar...yum...food..."

"Arrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Where are they!!!! I can't wait any longer!"

"...I wonder when they'll get here. Can't wait..."

"Ah, I expect they will all have grown older."

"..."

Ivan grinned, and, with Sheba by his side, he yelled, "Hey guys! Over here!"

They turned their heads to see the two Jupiter adepts running towards them. Everyone hugged and exchanged greetings.

Ivan had grown taller. Now he was about 1.68 metres tall, and his blonde hair was arranged neatly and flatly on his head. He wore a lavender tunic, which matched his eyes, a pair of violet, baggy trousers, and a short, aqua t-shirt cloak (like the one he wears in the guidebook), which went down to his ankles. He also wore a pair of brown, leather boots, and he held his staff in his hand.

Sheba was dressed similarly. She wore a pale pink dress with short sleeves, which was embroidered with a lilac pattern. A deep pink sash was tied tightly around her slim waist. Brown, leather boots, which went up to her knees, were on her feet, and she wore her purple travelling coat. Sheba had grown her blonde hair a little longer; now it was up to her shoulders; her fringe was still there, covering her grass green eyes.

Five minutes later, Mia arrived on a large, pure white horse. Isaac blinked in surprise when she and the beautiful beast trotted in. "She looks like an angel on horseback." He grinned unconsciously. This didn't go unnoticed by Jenna, who frowned.

Mia was wearing a sky blue dress with the sign of Mercury in a darker shade of blue, and a blue sash. On her nimble feet she wore a pair of navy boots, and she also wore a thin, long, pale blue cloak for easy travelling. Her aquamarine hair, for once, was down, flowing freely in the wind, and it now reached her waist; her matching eyes were glowing with happiness.

Mia jumped down from her horse, and smiled. "Hi." She said in her usual gentle voice. She hadn't changed much. She was just a little taller than Ivan now, but she still possessed her grace and beauty.

Sheba and Jenna (who a little grudgingly) hugged her. She led her horse, Azure, into a stable. Suddenly, Piers and another young woman strode in. He, as usual, wore his dark blue tunic and matching boots. His long, blue hair was tied back, and the pale blue and gold material was still fixed around his head.

The lady next to him wore similar clothes to Mia, except the dress was a shade of aqua, and her cloak was a deeper blue. She had the same colour hair as Mia and Piers, which reached the middle of her back, and was tied in a long plait with a sky blue ribbon.

"Sorry for being so late. There was a storm, and it delayed our ship." Piers beamed. "I've missed you all. And this is Sapphia." He said, turning to the young woman. "She's my girlfriend from Lemuria."

Everyone smiled, some surprised. "Hi." Sapphia smiled shyly.

Thanks for reading. The next chapter...well, I'm not giving anything away yet. It's not too interesting, but after Chapter three, four and five, which will be coming up later, the fighting will start, and the reason why too. The Isaac/Mia romance will also begin in Chapter five. It'll slowly, but gradually, build up.

By the way, Sapphia's name is pronounced like the blue gem, Sapphire (Saff- fye-er). I know some of you will have probably noticed that Jenna seems to have a crush on Isaac. That's true, but I am VERY set on this fic being a Mia/Isaac fic, and no one can change my mind. I'm not too keen on Jenna/Isaac coupling, anyway. Sorry. I also apologise for this chapter being so bad it's only all about the other adepts coming to Vale, and it's full of rubbish descriptions of them. Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!!

The story WILL get more interesting later. I know it's rather boring (well, I always say my works are bad, but I dunno your opinions, and I hope you liked it).

One more thing, the resentment I was talking about earlier as Jenna and Sheba hug Mia, is only for Jenna. She feels this way because, as you all know, this is Mia/Isaac fic, and Jenna has a crush on him! And now, Jenna is getting suspicious, so she sort of resents Mia for it! Sheba's fine with Mia though. Great friends. I wrote this because a reviewer got it a little mixed up. Doesn't matter, but I'm clearing up the matter anyway.

Thanks and please review!

Next chapter: Chapter 2: Settling in and a BIG surprise in one small invite!
