After eating breakfast, & leaving Dirk with the biggest pile of dishes he'd ever seen in his life to clean up, the group went down to Izoold. It was a little bigger than when the worlds split, seeing as since Palmacosta's destruction, it had had a lot of business. There were a few more buildings & docks than before, & more people were in the streets, as well as more & bigger boats in the docks. Right now, the group was at Max's dock, talking with him. He wore a brown shirt with black sleeves & blue pants, black shoes, & black bracelets with a thin yellow line going around them in the middle. He also had smooth brown hair.

"I got the boat all ready for her voyage, everybody." Max said.

"How much is it?" Lloyd asked.

"For the guys who reunited our worlds & got rid of the Desians for good?" Max asked. "This is on the house. It's the least I can do, especially for that ride in the rheiards."

"Wow." Lloyd said, looking perplexed. "That's… really generous of you."

"I know." Max said. "Enjoy the ride." He then walked off. Later that day, everybody was on the boat, out at sea. Kratos was at the wheel, Zelos was pretending to be captain, Regal was the lookout, & everybody else was on deck. Lloyd was at the bow of the ship. Meanwhile, Genis was approaching Presea. Presea turned & looked at him.

"What is it, Genis?" Presea asked in her usual monotone voice.

"Ummm. P-P-P-Presea?" Genis stuttered, his face completely red. "W-w-w-would you like t-to uh… stare out at he ocean w-w-with m-me?" Presea smiled sweetly at him.

"Yes, Genis." She said. The 2 of them then walked toward the portside of the boat. Meanwhile, Colette approached Lloyd.

"Lloyd?" Colette asked. Lloyd turned around & saw her.

"Yes, Colette?" Lloyd asked.

"You look lonely." Colette said. "Would you like some company?"

"Uuh, sure." Lloyd said. Colette walked up to Lloyd as he moved aside to give Colette room to look with him. After a while, Colette started a conversation.

"You know, Lloyd." Colette said. "I'm so glad the worlds are back together."

"Yeah, me too." Lloyd said.

"Now I can finally live a normal life & do & have things I thought I never would." Colette said. "I can finally grow old, make friends, I can have children, grandchildren." Colette turned to Lloyd. "A husband." Lloyd turned to Colette.

"Yeah, Colette." Lloyd said. "Did you have anybody in mind over who to pick as a husband?"

"Well." Colette said. "There are a few people I might consider. There's Zelos, he's funny, smart, charming, handsome, & a chosen, like me."

"But there are no chosens anymore." Lloyd said. "After the worlds were reunited, they kinda became obsolete."

"I know." Colette said. "But I still have that kind of bond with him. There's also you, Lloyd." Lloyd jumped a bit.

"M-me?" He asked. Colette giggled.

"Don't worry, Lloyd." Colette reassured him. "Not right away. I'd choose you because you're the sweetest boy I've known other than Genis. You're brave, determined, nice, & I've known you & Genis most of my life."

"Wow, Colette." Lloyd said. "You really think of me like that?"

"Yes I do, Lloyd." Colette said. Lloyd blushed.

"Well, Colette." Lloyd said. "The truth is, I…" Before he could get in another word, Regal shouted to the people below.

"There's a storm approaching!" He shouted. "Everybody get below immediately!" They all looked to the starboard stern of the ship & saw multiple black clouds approaching the ship. Lloyd looked over at Colette.

"C'mon, Colette!" Lloyd shouted. "Let's get below immediately!" Within seconds, they were running towards the door leading below the deck.

Down below deck, everybody was huddled close together while the waves rocked the boat above them. Everybody was scared, though Raine was REALLY seasick. Kratos saw she was becoming green & handed her a nearby bag.

"Thanks." Raine said before gulping. She snatched the bag from Kratos' hand & ducked her face into it, which was followed by a sound like lurching coming from her throat.

"Oh, Lloyd. I'm scared." Colette said, clinging onto Lloyd's arm.

"Don't worry, Colette." Lloyd said. "Everything will be fine." However, right after Lloyd said that, the ship crashed against a huge rock & burst the hull open. The rock came in right through to the small room where the group was. Everybody screamed as water poured into the room. The force of the incoming waves was so great, it swept the group off their feet.

"WAAAAAAAAAAH!" Lloyd screamed.

"YYAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Genis wailed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Sheena screeched.

Pretty soon, everybody was swept away out of the hole in the boat into the waters & driven unconscious.
