Okay, this is my first, actual, one-shot. This is a Tales of Legendia fic between Fenimore and Shirley. It's easy to see the subtext there, at least before Shirley becomes Merines. I'll try to keep in mind not everyone has played the game, but it would help if you know a bit about it.

This is what I think should've happened after Senel's initial rejection to Shirley.

"Why? Why did Senel choose Stella?" The distraught Shirley asked, sitting on the bed of her room in the Ferines (1) Village, on the colossal ship Legacy. Her blond haired friend Fenimore sat trying to comfort her.

"He lost her twice, he probably would feel he was betraying her to go off with her sister right after he found out she was alive after three years." Fenimore was sure that Senel, even if he was an Oreines (2) she was sure that he wouldn't outright reject Shirley.

"W-what if it was me? What if that is just an excuse? Does he not like me?" Shirley was voicing her fears, though if she was thinking one-hundred percent, she would have never thought that.

"How could someone not like you? You're beautiful, nice, and someone would have to be heartless not to adore you." That got Shirley thinking straight, 'It's not me? He does love me? Or does he? I guess I'll just have to hope.'

"Thank you, Fenimore." Fenimore smiled and shrugged,

"What are friends for?" Shirley froze and Fenimore thought she had done something wrong.

"We're…we're friends?" Shirley asked cautiously.

"Of course. Wait, you've never had any friends?" Shirley nodded slowly, "Great, now I have to teach you what friends are. You do know the types of love right?"

"What? There is more that one kind of love?" Shirley asked incredulously.

"Well, let it's time for lesson one." Fenimore turned and embraced the sitting Shirley, then gave the Radiant girl a kiss on the mouth. Shirley, confused but not at all disgusted, sat there, not sure what to do.

Pulling back, Fenimore gave a cheeky smile and asked, "So, how was that?"

Blushing, Shirley touched her lips.

"Teach me more."

"Anything for you, Shirley."

Outside a figure walked away after hearing Shirley's reply.

'Glad you found someone to be with, if only for now. Little sister… (3)'

The figure then entered the tent his group was using as an inn and went to sleep. Though when his friends asked, he acted grumpy, when really he was in fact very happy. For now he could think about a certain blue clothed knight. (4)

people of the water

not sure if that's spelled right; people of the land

They're not really related, they just took that title up after an attack on Shirley's home village.

This, of course, is referring to Chloe, I really think they'd make a good couple

So, how was it? For those who haven't, try playing it, the dialogues funny most times, and the game play's solid.

R&R pls!
