Zelos Wilder slowly woke up. He looked around.
Genis sat bent over a huge book, his eyes moving quickly over the pages.
"Good morning, Zelos" Genis said, without looking at him.
Zelos decided get up and have some breakfast, but there was a problem.
He couldn't get up. He was tied to the couch, four thick belts were strapped around his body.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" He yelled to Genis, as he shook the whole couch in anger to get free.
"Sheena got angry yesterday" Genis calmly said, not letting his eyes off the book.
"You were saying some nasty things about her in your sleep, so she decided to tie you down on the couch as a punishment."
"But seriously, mr Half-elf-study-alot, I must have said good things."
"As a matter of fact you did. But did she care? No."
"Untie me, Genis." Zelos said, panically. "I'm getting ugly bruises on my arms."
"Poor you, but you'll just have to wait until I'm finished reading."
"And when is that?"
"Probably in a few hours or so. Just hang in there."
Zelos looked around. No one else was in the room, except for Regal, who was sleeping as usual.
"REGAL!" Zelos yelled. "HELP ME!"
Regal didn't react at all. He was sleeping as deep as ever.
"REGAL, A MONSTER! IT'S HUGE!" Zelos continued, but the blue-haired muscular man in the other couch kept snoring. "AH, IT'S LICKING MY LEG! CREATURE OF EVIL, BEGONE!
Genis sighed. The earplugs Lloyd had bought him did come in handy after all.
"Allright everyone" Raine said, and the people on the stage turned their eyes against her. "I've booked our first gig, and it's a big one."
"Big gig, that sort of rhymes" Lloyd replied, while he was tuning his electric guitar. "Cool."
"Where is it?"
Zelos was sitting on the edge of the stage, examining his bruises. Presea had cut him loose from the couch, which was now in a sorry, torn state.
"It's in Meltokio, outside the Royal Castle" Raine said. "It's the celebration of the king's birthday, several bands are invited to play."
"That's great and all" Sheena said put away her bass. "But we haven't rehearsed any songs at all. Have you even written any, Raine?"
"Of course I have. Here. The concert is in four days."
Raine jumped up on the stage, and handed out papers to everyone.
Genis frowned his forehead.
"The Magic of Books?"
"Who Took My Book?" Zelos muttered. "Wow, that's so original, and yet not."
"Library Of Sybak" Lloyd said. "Uh huh."
"No offense, Raine, but I don't think we'll rock Meltokio with three songs about books." Zelos said and put away his papers. "I won't sing a song about a book, that's so uncool. My image would be ruined"
"Don't worry" Lloyd said in thriump, as Raine clenched her fists and muttered something unhearable. "I've written a song."
"Haha, you!" Zelos exclaimed. "You can't even spell your own name!"
"Yes, I can. It's L-l-o...Eh, L-o-y-l... Argh, don't make me!" Lloyd grabbed his electric guitar. "Presea, the drums please."
"Of course" Presea answered shortly, and placed herself behind the drums. "What should I play?"
"Just play it fast, allright" Lloyd said with a big smile on his face. "This song is called Falling In Love, listen carefully Zelos cause you're going to sing it later, allright?"
Everyone sceptically looked at the red-dressed Lloyd, as if they expected to wake up any minute. Except for Regal, who had fallen asleep behind his keyboard.
No big surprise there.
"Allright, Presea, let's rock" Lloyd said and struck a D on his guitar.
Falling In Love written by Lloyd Irving
1..2.. 1.2.3.4
I used to love another one
But after a trip to Hakonesia
I got struck by severe amnesia
So, I fell in love with you
Chosen One
I'm falling in love
With those big, bright eyes
I'm falling in love
Oh, those angel wings
Those lovely things
Could take me to the skies
Yeah!
I'm falling in love with you, yeah
School was always a pain
Just as our teacher, miss Raine
But I managed to remain
Somewhat sane
But now I'm falling in love
With those big, bright eyes
I'm falling in love
Oh, those angel wings
Those lovely things
Could take me to the skies
Yeah!
I'm falling in love with you, yeah
Ican't stop the way I feel
I know that it's for real
Every time we touch, we break a seal
My love for you, could break through steel
YEAH!
Now I'm falling in love
With those big, bright eyes
I'm falling for the girl I'm dreaming of
I just hope you can answer my love
Oh, those angel wings
Make every bell ring
I'm falling in love with you, yeah
"Wow..." Zelos said. "Allright, Lloyd, who wrote it for you? Who did you threat? You didn't kill anyone for it, did you?"
"N-No, I wrote it myself" Lloyd said, blushing as he looked at Colette. She knew.
"Yeah, right" Zelos laughed and got on his feet. "And I built the Grand Tethe'Alla Bridge with my left hand."
"For some reason, I believe him" Genis said. "Great song, Lloyd. It rocked."
Raine had a murderous look in her eyes, but didn't say anything. Her face looked like it could explode any second, and small puffs of smoke came out through her ears.
"You still need to write two more" Presea said. "You only have two days. It's quite along wayfrom Altamira to Meltokio"
"Uh, no problem." Lloyd said. "Really."
"See?" Zelos said. "He has already killed that guy, he can't get any more songs out of him."
"Quiet" Genis said. "Or I'll set your red hair on fire... Wait, it already is on fire... Or even better, have Sheena chain you to the couch again, that was funny."
Sheena didn't say anything. She clenched her fists and glared at Colette, who was smiling towards Lloyd.
She would make sure that Colette never got her hands on Lloyd. The fight had begun.
And she was going to win, no matter the cost.
Instruments:
Lloyd: Electric guitar, backing vocals
Zelos: Lead singer, front figure of the band (at least HE thinks so)
Sheena: Bass, backing vocals
Genis: Saxophone
Colette: Electric guitar, backing vocals
Presea: Drums
Raine: Nothing, she's manager
Regal: Keyboard (when he's a awake, that is)
Allright, that was chapter 2, slightly longer. Hope you liked it, stay tuned for chapter 3...
Sheena and Colette's fight for Lloyd's love starts, Regal finally utters his first words in this fanfic, and Raine decides to sneak on Lloyd, to see what the secret behind his song-writing is...
Don't miss it!
