Note: Hello again! First of all, I'd like to thank those great people who have reviewed my story. You have no idea how grateful I am. Now, about this story. I've changed the rating because my brother insists he is gonna read it, but I refuse to let him. So now the rating is PG-13. He's too young, MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And because I wanna experiment whether more people will read and review my fic.

And another thing, do you think I should have a muse(s)? Either tell me in a review, or via email. If I do, I'll include a cute lil' djinn!!! Also, thanks for the people who have said my story isn't bad at all sniff. It means a lot. I am very modest, and I am not trying to get sympathy or anything. I really think my stories are...terrible! Especially compared to the ones I've read.

The reason why I've updated this so quickly is because I can't stay away from the computer! I really want to write, even if it means giving up a little of my time instead of revising for my exams. Lol. Thanks for the reviews, and please R and R.

Disclaimer: I hate writing this part. NO, for hell's sake, and for the third time, I don't own Golden Sun (do you have to write this for every chapter, cos I'm getting very fed up).

Golden Sun: The Fight for the Stars

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

A week later...Mia and Sapphia had made great friends, both being Mercury adepts, and had the same interests. Sapphia was quiet and shy, just like Mia. Piers and Felix went round Vale, catching up on old times, and Sheba and Ivan hung out with everyone, just enjoying their visit.

"Morning." Mia smiled as she met up with Sheba, Ivan and Piers.

"Good morning Mia." They replied.

"So, why are we having this discussion anyway?" Mia asked.

"Well, me and Sheba have decided..." Ivan started, and then glanced at his fellow Jupiter adept for support. Sheba nodded in encouragement, urging him silently to go on and hurry up.

"Ivan! For Jupiter's sake, please tell them!" Sheba yelled at him via her mind.

Ivan flinched a little, and continued, "Well, me and Sheba have decided to stay and live in Vale.

Piers looked at them in mild surprise, but Mia merely smiled and nodded. "I've been thinking that too."

"You have, Mia?" Piers now turned to her.

"Yes. All my good friends are here. There's Isaac, Garet, Jenna, Felix and Kraden, oh, and don't forget Kay and Aaron, Garet's mischievous siblings. They are the only and best family I have ever had. I have never known my parents, since I was sent to Imil when I was a baby, and raised by the villagers. Megan and Justin are my family too, but I feel at my happiest here in Vale with my true family. Now you two have decided to stay. I'm really glad."

Sheba beamed at Mia, and Ivan turned to Piers. "What about you?"

Piers smiled sorrowfully at them with his gold eyes. "I'm sorry, but I know I belong in Lemuria. Sapphia and me both feel best at home, both having been born and raised there. I hope you all enjoy life here too. I'm going to miss you all, especially Felix, and you, Mia."

Mia smiled sadly at her good friend. Piers and her were very close, both being Mercury adepts, and he treated her like a younger sister; he was overprotective, like Felix was over Jenna. And he was his best friend. Felix and her were gonna miss him a lot.

Later that day...

"What! You're staying!?!" Garet yelled; he was so surprised, he sprayed the water in his mouth all over unlucky Kraden.

"Garet!" everyone moaned.

"Sorry." Garet mumbled sheepishly, his face turning as red as his hair. Kraden hurried away to get cleaned up, muttering something about "kids nowadays" under his breath.

"Why are you staying here though?" Jenna asked Mia, fidgeting. "Aren't Justin and Megan still in Imil?"

"Yes, but now they're fully fledged healers, they can do without me. And I feel most at home with all of you. You are my family." Mia answered.

"We're going though." Piers spoke up, Sapphia by his side. "And before we go, we have to give you all an invitation." He produced a turquoise envelope embroidered with gold from his tunic. "Here."

"Hey, let me open it!" Jenna squealed excitedly.

"No, I wanna!!" Garet whined. Both snatched the envelope from Piers' hands. They tugged at it.

"Let go, you big oaf!" Jenna cried, her brownish-red hair swishing around dangerously, fire in her eyes.

"No, YOU let go!" Garet yelled.

"I think we should let Mia open it." Sheba stated, and using her quick reflexes, she grabbed the envelope from the two Mars adepts' hands and gave it to Mia. Garet and Jenna groaned in disappointment.

"Me?" Mia questioned, confused.

"You're Piers' "little sister"." Sheba smiled. "You should open it." Mia nodded, and everyone watched eagerly as she produced a piece of blue card. She stared at the gold writing for about two minutes. The others wondered why she wasn't reading it out loud. They watched her expression change from wonder to pure delight.

"Oh my god, Piers, I can't believe it! Congratulations!!!" Mia launched herself on top of Piers, embracing him tightly, the piece of card still in her hand. Piers hugged her back. The she went and embraced Sapphia.

"Hey, what's the big deal?" Garet asked.

Mia turned to her friends. "Piers and Sapphia have invited us to go to Lemuria with them," her blue eyes shone with excitement, "because they're getting married!"

Yay! They're getting married!
