Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own ToS. Oh yeah, and Presea doesn't talk like someone that is trying to learn English.

"Just seeing how everything's going in Vinheim, huh? Well, everything's just fine," Mitos said in an 'I don't want complete strangers coming in my castle' tone with the same look on his face.

"Hey, Mr. blue-haired angel, can you put me down now? You've been hanging onto the back of my shirt for quite a while now..." Asa said, attempting to look at Yuan. "Besides, I gotta check on Vinheim now."

"Okay," Yuan let go of Asa, dropping her on the ground.

"Oww!" a muffled Asa said, lying on the ground. She got up and dusted all the snow off her and began to walk, toward Vinheim, which was convinently nearby.

"Stop!" Mitos called after her. Too bad for him, because Asa was already inside Vinheim.

"We should keep tabs on her." Kratos calmly pointed out.

"All right." Mitos said, entering Vinheim.

"And how many times have we had to go over this, Lloyd?" Genius asked, pointing at the math equation on the homework sheet they were trying to complete.

"But I still don't get it..."Lloyd complained.

"Multiply TT by 300.2. It's that simple." Genius explained for the ?th time.

"I get it..." Lloyd finally understood.

"Umm, Lloyd, I need help..." Shinha said, 'unsure' of how to do the problem Lloyd just figured out.

Genius jumped off the bed, finished with his homework and dashed out of the room. He was finding Presea. Finally, he found Presea!

"Presea!" Genius exclaimed. "We need this blanket!"

"Umm, why?" Presea questioned.

"Shinha's been acting strange! Well, we'll write the rest down in this notebook."

"Okay!" Presea gave Genius a thumbs-up.

The two wrote in their note book as they spied on Shinha...

"So, I-I think I get it now..." Shinha said after about the fifth problem Lloyd had to help her with. "But what's this blanket behind me?" Shinha pulled the blanket off Genius and Presea.

"Ahh! We're sorry!" Genius and Presea yelled in unison. "Y-you were just acting strange, and..."

"You spied on me?" Shinha asked.

"Ahhh! We're sorry!" Genius apoligized.

"Well, that's okay..." Shinha smiled.

Asa snuck around. "Hmm... this looks valuable enough..."she said, putting a couple of Exshperes in her pocket.

"Stop right there!" Asa swung her head around to see Mitos."So you were 'just checking' on Vinheim, huh? More like stealing from Vinheim!"

"Ahh! Noo! I was found out! Well, I guess I have to tell you my real name now..." 'Asa' was dissapointed. "Well, I'm really Shike!"

Mitos looked at Shike strangely. "And why didn't you just tell us your name the first time?"he inquired.

"Well, that's for me to know, and you to find out."
