A/N: I forgot to put a disclaimer for my prologue... oo; but then again, it didn't really give out names... so... :D! Anyways, I think I'm gonna go by weekly updates oo It's convenient... and stuff XD Thanks to the two people who reviewed the prologue ox; I assure you my chapters will be much longer than that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Chrono Cross or its characters. D: I just own this pathetic little fanfic. But I doubt anyone would wanna steal it and claim it for themselves anyways.

Chapter 1 Realization

Bright morning sun shined down upon her sun-kissed body, he golden locks of hair and sky blue eyes shining under the nearly blinding light. Stretching and walking around, Kid found herself fascinated by the coral rocks around Opassa Beach. She sighed, "The first time I was here... it was with him..." her eyes casted down onto the sand, eyeing the little specks, obviously lost in deep thought. "I wanted to tell him... how much these fascinated me..."

She quickly snapped back to reality.

"Oi... what the hell am I thinking?" Kid shook her head, all these emotions, these sudden thought patterns, it was all new to her. "Bloody hell..." she remembered what Schala had said. The two worlds were merged together and everyone's memory of all that had happened had been erased. "Everyone's except mine..." Though she felt that way, she couldn't help feeling like she wasn't quite remembering everything. She sighed once again, her hand drifting towards her dagger, making sure it was still there. "I might need this again... soon..." She pulled the weapon out, staring at her rainbow colored reflection.

"What's this?" Kid looked surprised, the thing he was holding out to her looked more like a cosmetic accessory than a weapon.

"It's your dagger." He merely replied; a smile on his face and his hand still extended.

"My dagger!" Kid was shocked now, "Oi! I ain't fighting with this rainbow pixie stick!" She crossed her arms and looked away to her side.

He laughed at her comment and actions, taking the dagger with him as he walked past her, smoothly placing it back in its sheath.

Kid looked at him as he walked away. "Oi! Hey!"

She put the dagger back in its sheath, deciding she was lingering too much on what was already probably forgotten. Gazing upon the cliffs above her, she strolled through the beach, walking out through the Komodo lizards, not bothering to fight any of them. Once she had gotten past the rocks into the open plains and trees, she contemplated where to go. Looking to her right, she could barely see the entrance to a humble town she remembered as Arni. Her heart skipped a beat; she knew she'd go there sooner or later.

Her anxiety got the best of her and she turned away, casting her eyes to the ground; walking towards Cape Howl. She mentally kicked herself; why is she so nervous? She sighed, "At least I'm not backtracking..." she told herself as she climbed the rocky cliff, watching a few beach bums try to avoid getting caught in the spewing geysers. Her eyes started to cast downwards once more as she neared the edge; she saw the rock and neared it, refusing to look at what was written on the rock. Turning around to face another cliff above, she sat down, her back leaning on the rock.

"Heh... that's where I first saw him..." Kid sat reminiscing, fiddling with the small rocks between her gloved fingers. Her hand found itself on the side of the rock she was leaning against, and suddenly all of her reminiscence stopped. She slowly got up and turned around at the same pace, looking down at the rock even slower, with her eyes closed. She knew this was a way to know if he was still here... Which 'reality' had dominated the one she was currently in? Would she be able to keep her 'promise'...? She winced away, as if the rock was emitting a blinding heat; but in time, she managed to look up at it and open her eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat once more.

"...Serge... and Leena... forever..."

She choked back a sinking feeling inside of her. She felt... uncontrollably happy; yet so crushed at the same time. He was alive; the reality of his presence had dominated the world of reality that he left so early. ...But... He was with her... And from the writings on the rock, it seemed like they'd be together for a while. Kid felt hatred building up inside of her... jealousy... she had wanted to take her dagger and slash at the words... make her mark between them... leave the rock in pebbles, as if doing that would make the relationship non-existent. ...but, alas, her conscience kicked in, stopping herself right as her hand had gone to the hilt of her dagger. She twitched a bit, her eyes shimmering under the sun; water had filled them, but she refused to let them fall. She closed her eyes and turned to the sky, shaking her head as she felt the smallest tear escape the corner of her eyes.

She blinked a few times; her thoughts were now a blank chaos. She knew what she wanted to do next... what she needed to do. Her feet moved almost as if they had a mind of their own, jumping over rocks, turning on paths, avoiding the trees standing before her. She had entered a small festive fishing village, passing an old man who tried to greet her at the entrance.

She had slowed down to a brisk walk after some time, and anyone she had passed seemed to be staring at her every action. Small children gathered together in groups and watched her as if she was the most fascinating creature they had ever witnessed. Passing many small huts, she headed for the dock; the gentle sea breeze caressing her face, trying to calm her racing thoughts. She finally looked up ahead of her, finding herself farther than she had intended to go. Children were playing in the ocean, men were fishing in their little canoes, and nice views of an island of mountains were off in the distance...

"Hey! May I ask who you are and what business you have dashing into Arni like that? How rude!"

A slightly annoying voice had ruined the once peaceful view in front of her, she turned towards the owner of the voice, only to find that it belong to no-one other than...

"Leena..."
