Moo?
Sari: -swats her away- Never mind her. Now, If you would like me to reply to them (which I like to do), then please ask me to reveiw and put your email adress on the reveiw. So I can... reply. I'll reply this time, though.
Moo: Gorgeous.
Sari: Now, hooray for Moo and Sheelos fluffies! And yay! I get to dump Regal off in Sybak!
Regal Fangirls: Oh no!
Sari: I don't really like him much. So he's gone for... twenty-three more chapters. -ducks tomatoes/knives/large fruits/ rotten vegetables- Sorry this chapter was so late. Writer's block, y'see.
Warnings: Nothing.
Disclaimer: Ooh, ooh, I don't own Tales of Symphonia.
"Yahoo!"
Kratos blinked. For the first time a week, he had not been waken up at fivei n the morning. It appeared to be nine or so, and he wandered up to the decks, dressed in his rumpled clothes from yesterday (he hadn't bothered to change).
He was greeted by the sight of an extremely joyful Regal hugging everyone goodbye.
"Bye, Regal," he said, still half asleep.
"Goodbye!" Regal shot off like a bullet, and everyone blinked.
"Wow." Lloyd said, staring at the place where Regal used to be. "I wish I could go that fast."
"We're in Sybak! Daddy, I wanna go to a museum and a library and the university and..." Raine squealed, pulling on Lloyd's sword.
"Oh... Um, we might not-"
"Of course Raine can go! I'll go with her!" Raine said, drawing herself up to full height. She had a creepy, archeological-like glint in her eye, so Lloyd flinched and shooed them away.
"Ah, so, we're saved," Genis said, rubbing his eyes.
"Mm... Where are Sheena and Zelos?" Kratos asked.
"Ah, they're probably napping. They stayed up really late last night."
"Oh?" Was Kratos' reply.
"Ah, little Zelos was having trouble sleeping, so they hung out with him," Lloyd said, rubbing his eyes. "Noishe and Simon and Murray are due for the vet. How about you help out with Simon, dad?"
Kratos sighed.
"Come on, Noishe!" Lloyd snarled, losing his patience as he pulled the huge "dog" along by a rope as Kratos walked along, his arms barely protected by his gloves.
They had learned that day that Noishe and Simon both hated vets. Colette was gently walking with Murray, who make that same funny clanking noise. It was because of the beads, which no one was able to get out.
"So... what is this again?" The vet asked, staring a Noishe with an odd expression on his face.
"I swear he's a... uh... dog." Lloyd said, grinning widely.
"Actually, he's a-" Kratos began, rolling his eyes before Genis clapped his hand over Kratos' mouth.
"He's a wolf!" Colette said, also grinning. "A... green wolf!"
The vet raised his eyebrows. "Um, sure..."
"The kids dyed him green," Lloyd said, sighing. "We just can't find a way to wash it off."
"Ah," the vet said, obviously not convinced.
Simon mewed and attempted to claw out of Kratos' arm, and Murray looked confused.
Colette just smiled. "Here, how about you check Murray out?" She patted the table that Murray was supposed to hop onto.
The dog looked at her blankly.
Finally, after a lot of heaving, Zelos and Lloyd managed to get the dog onto the table. The vet checked him over quickly. Then, after much coaxing, Murray came back down, obviously quie unnerved.
"Demon cat time!" Lloyd said happily, Kratos bracing himself against the aforementioned cat.
The vet's eyes became the size of platters. These people had a green and white dog. That cat could very well be a demon cat.
"Ah, um, I have another appointment!" He said quickly, running out of the room at roughly the same speed as Regal had a few hours earlier.
The offending human out of the room, Simon calmed down immediately, washing his face as if nothing had happened.
"Daddy, you killed Bubbles, right?" Zelos asked Lloyd, his eyes watering as he sucked on his finger, which had a small cut on it.
"Huh?" Lloyd asked, frowning slightly.
Zelos burst into tears, prompting Lloyd to pick him up and attempt to soothe him as a few college students stared at them.
"Do you know why that kid is so annoyed?" A blonde girl asked as her counterpart, a brunette, sat at their cafe table, scribbling on a piece of paper.
"Yes, I think so..." The brunette said, frowning at the paper. "Your turn."
Lloyd sighed, bouncing his screaming son on his knee.
"Bubbles can't hurt you. It's only a dream."
"RAINE SAID! RAINE SAID!" Zelos screeched, crying even more.
Lloyd sighed again and carried his son back to the ship.
"Wow, these ancient texts are amazing!" Little Raine squealed, poring over the complex runes that most college students didn't understand. This made most college students either stare at her or scream, drop their books, and run out of the library.
"Yes, I know!" Raine said, her eyes glazed over.
"I love this line about Martel!"
"Yes, I concur!"
"Raine?"
"Who is it?" Both Raines snapped, looking up at the intruder with the same murderous expressions on their faces. Kratos flinched.
"Lloyd's getting impatient. It's nearly nine o' clock, you see," Kratos explained. Raine looked outside.
"Oh, it is! We both were lost in our texts!" She said, smiling.
"Angelic text?" Kratos asked, peeking over Raine's shoulder.
"No, old elfin." Little Raine informed him, shutting her book with a slam. "Did we miss dinner?"
"Yes." Kratos said, smiling at his grandaughter.
"Good. I'm not hungry. Gampy, will you carry me?"
Kratos smiled again and picked up the two year old, putting her on his shoulders and carrying her out.
"Your daughter is very intelligent." The librarian commented to Kratos.
"Oh, she's not my daughter. She's my grandaughter."
The librarian's eyes shot open. "You seem a bit... young."
"Ah, don't judge by appearances." Kratos said, wincing. "Ow! Raine, don't pull!"
"Gampy, I wanna go back! I'm tired!"
Kratos sighed and began walking back to the boat faster then ever.
"Ah, isn't this a nice, relaxing night?" Zelos sighed, smiling slightly. Sheena was on his lap, holding a can of soda and holding baby Zelos, who was barely awake. She was humming a Mizuho lullaby to the baby, whose eyes were closing slowly.
"Yeah, it's nice," Kratos said, his hands behind his head.
"You should know. Hey, how long have you been on this boat?"
"A... week."
"Wow, you haven't died yet!"
"Why would he have died?" Sheena asked, frowning slightly.
"Ah, he could've commited suicide, or been strangled by the brats, or lost his mind and leaped off of the side of the boat, or..."
"Hey, the kids aren't THAT bad!" Lloyd complained, coming up from Raine's bedroom. "She wanted me to recite all the dwarven vows. She wants to memorize them."
"Ah, I'd be insane
already. You were enough." Kratos said, closing his eyes and
remembering Lloyd's many demands. "You asked a lot of
questions."
"Or he could have died from Raine's cooking, or
been shocked into death by Raine the genius, or..."
Ah, the last reply to reveiws... –sniff sniff- I think I'm gonna cry.
Mez10000 – Ah, I told Moo's friend she sounded like Sheena. She was really annoyed about it (she hates Sheena). Hmm, who doesn't like a little Sheelos? Your friend? –laughs maniacally-
XXxMysticalDreamerxXx – Kratos, grandfather... I dunno, I could see him warming up to them eventually.
Suzu Fujibayashi – Dfjaskfjwhaaats? No, Raine and Raine are equally smart. Maybe little Raine smarter. Good question, how Lloyd (IQ 2) and Colette (IQ 6 ½) had Raine (IQ three million, or something). I have noo idea. Er, sorry about how late this update is! I got my plaid shoes at Target, by the way...
Miss Raine Sage - Yes, they do take after their namesake. I'm sure little Regal will show amazing buisness skills sometime.
RavenGhost – Eep! –ducks tomato- Sorry! It was late! Hmm, it hurts you to think sometimes too? Cool!
Sari: Oh, by the way, I'm going to to some shameless advertising. Read my webcomic! The web adress shall be in my profile. If you read it, you get a cooky. If you reveiw, you get a cooky too. So if you do both – TWO COOKIES! And two cookies are better then one!
