Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to update, school's been murder on me. Anyway thanks for your reviews and enjoy chapter 3.


Lloyd had awoke to find Sheena lieing right next to him, one her hands were clenching his own. 'She must have stayed with me all night.' Thought Lloyd, "Thanks Sheena." He whispered and he kissed her on the forehead, slowly removing his hand from Sheena's loving grasp.

He headed downstairs for a good breakfast and to thank Dirk for finding Sheena the previous day. Not only did he find Dirk sitting at the small, wooden table, but Genis, one of his childhood friends, and sister of his father's fiancé, he was desperately trying not to think my uncle to be. It was weird enough trying to realise that Raine was going to be his step mother, let alone someone a few years younger than him being his uncle.

"Hey, Lloyd!" exclaimed Genis excitedly, "How're you doing?"

Lloyd quickly raised a finger to his lips, indicating him to be quiet, "Shh. Sheena's still asleep." Genis quickly put his hands over his mouth, knowing from previous experience with his older sister that it was not a good idea to rudely awaken a sleeping woman.

"Sorry, Lloyd." He apologised.

"Don't worry." He replied, "Anyway I'm fine, what about you?"

Genis looked doubtful at Lloyd, "Fine, eh? Come off it Lloyd, I got pissed off when Raine told me what was going between her and Kratos, and I'm just her sister, you're his son."

Lloyd started to flush annoyed, "Is it really that obvious that I'm not overly happy?" he asked himself out loud.

"Well, yes but Raine told me how you literally stormed off after Kratos told you, and what Sheena said to stop him following you."

'So that's why he didn't go after me.' He thought, making a mental note to thank Sheena again. "So she told you to come and cheer me up did she?"

"Truthfully, yes, but she told me not to say that part." He chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her." He laughed back, trying to make the conversation seem more relaxed than he felt.

"I'll just make ma leave then shall I?" inputted Dirk, heading for the door, "See ya later."

"So..." started Lloyd, knowing that he might as well start the conversation as there was no way he could avoid it, "You weren't happy about their engagement either?"

"Hell no!" said Genis, "Why should I had been, my older sister was about to marry my best friend's dad. That's just too weird don't you think?"

"But you got over it?" asked Lloyd curiously.

"Yeah, I mean, not instantly, but after a couple days of thinking, I realised that I've never seen her so happy when she's with Kratos." He paused for a moment, deciding whether it was wise to say what he was thinking, "And if it's ok my saying, I've rarely seen Kratos smile all the way through are journey, but he does it all the time now."

At this Lloyd thought back to when his father first told him the news. He was smiling, he had hardly ever smiled, why was he ruining his happiness by refusing to accept their love. How would he feel if Kratos had actually refused to allow him to love Sheena.

Suddenly, his train of thoughts were crashed to a halt by the large rumbling noise from his stomach.

Genis burst into laughter, "Jeez, Lloyd you really know how to spoil the depth of a conversation don't you. You haven't changed a bit!"

"Hey, shut it, Genis!" shouted Lloyd, blushing slightly out of embarrassment.

"What's all the noise about?" asked a groggy voice from the stairs.

Lloyd turned to see Sheena coming down the stairs, rubbing one her eyes. He walked up to her, wrapped his arms around her, and gave her a loving kiss.

Genis, who was slightly caught back by this sudden event, had a sudden realisation in his head. "Hey, isn't there only one bed up there?" he asked slyly.

Both Lloyd and Sheena blushed furiously, "Well...er..."

"You see..."

Genis burst into laughter again, "Oh god I missed teasing you two about your little crush on each other. Though I am actually pleased you two finally confessed."

"You knew?" asked Lloyd and Sheena simultaneously.

"Hello? Basically the whole two worlds knew, apart from you two." They blush even more.

"A-Anyway I'm gonna fix us something, you hungry Lloyd?" asked Sheena, trying to shake off her blush.

"Don't even comment Genis!" shouted Lloyd, as Genis was obviously about to make another crack about Lloyd.

They spent the rest of the morning talking about their separate journeys, apparently, Genis' and Raine's quest had gone far more successful, than the couple had realised. They had a fairly large group of supporters in each town and city, but due to the vast number of half-elves in Sybak's research academy, they had basically got the whole town on their side. Also, Zelos had actually persuaded the King on their behalf to support the two in any way possible.

"Speaking of Zelos," Sheena started, "how's e doing, still staying with Colette, or has he already moved on to the next girl of the hour?"

"You're not gonna believe this, but he hasn't actually looked at another girl since he started going out with her." Answered Genis.

"You're kidding!"

"No, you can see for yourself, Zelos is staying with Colette in Iselea for a while, you should go see them anyway. You probably haven't seen them since we split up.."

A thought occurred in Lloyd's mind, "Do they know?" he asked tentatively, as if not wanting to hear the answer, "About Raine and d-Kratos?"

"Well, yes they do, in fact...you two were the last to find out."

A huge wave of disappointment ran through Lloyd, as he lowered his head. So he, the groom's son was the last to know. Sheena seemed to sense what he was thinking, and she placed her hand on his back supportively.

"But in all honesty, Lloyd," added Genis rather hastily, you two were the hardest to find. Nobody but you knew where you were or where you were going, Colette and Zelos were either in Iselea or Meltokio with each other, and Regal and Presea are in Altamira helping the construction of the new world."

"Yeah, that's true." Lloyd stated, but he obviously still sounded disappointed.

"Yeah, that's a point," added Sheena, "How did the others take the news?"

"Well everyone seemed to be quite happy for the two, but they all seemed to worry more on how you and I would take the news, as we're related to them."

They all sat in silence for a few minutes, before Lloyd said out loud, "Lets go se Colette and Zelos, it'll be great to see them!"

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Added Genis

"Lets go!" Replied Sheena.


Well there you have it, I hope it's a bit more impressive than my previous 2 chapters. Please review, and I'll update as soon as I can.
