Chapter 1: Colloyd
Disclaimer: I don't own anything by Namco. If I did, there would be a second Tales of Symphonia, and maybe a prequel with Mithos, Yuan, Martel, and Kratos as the main characters.
The other night, I had a dream where I was Colette and I married Lloyd. I got really freaked out, but I decided to write a story. Isn't it cool how everyone except for Kratos and Raine has someone to be in a relationship with? I mean, even Regal has Presea, who wants to help him avenge her sister. And of course there's the pairings: Gesea, Colloyd, and Sheelos. I'm not a Kraine person.
Colette wrung out her hair for what seemed like the millionth time. That was the problem with having long hair: it never seemed to dry.
"You want me to call Sylph or Ifreet or someone?" Sheena joked. She and Raine were helping Colette get ready. She was going to marry Lloyd.
"No, it's okay Sheena. It'll dry eventually."
"Uh… that was a joke."
"Oh."
"Okay, well, do you want to see the absolutely fabulous wedding dress I made?"
"Sure!"
"Okay." Sheena pulled from the bag she'd been carrying a beautiful white dress. It was trimmed with purple and included long gloves. She also took out a veil with white flowers around it.
"Oh, Sheena! It's beautiful!"
"It's about the same white as your shoes, and the purple matches your Cruxis crystal. I thought you'd like it."
"I love it!"
"Okay, then let's put your hair up in a towel and you can try it on. I'll make all the final adjustments and tomorrow you'll wear it to your wedding."
"Okay!" Colette quickly wrapped a towel around her long, damp hair. Sheena unbuttoned the back of the dress and Colette stepped into it. Then she put on the gloves. Sheena took a big, purplish-gray satin ribbon out of her bag and tied it around Colette's waist.
"Everyone in Mizuho wears these big ribbons around their waists. The women have thicker ones, like mine. The men have thinner ones, more like sashes. I thought this would personalize the dress a little more."
"It's wonderful, Sheena!" Colette was overwhelmed by everything. Had it seriously been a whole five months since she had started planning their wedding? She was lucky that she had good friends to help her. She wondered what Lloyd was going to wear. His old formal outfit from Tethe'alla, which used to be a world but was now a continent, looked silly. She had never understood it.
"Come look at yourself in the mirror. I think it really looks good with your Cruxis crystal. I thought maybe we could find a gold bracelet to go with your key crest…"
"Sheena, stop fussing. It's better than I could ever have imagined."
"So? You never expect much from anyone. Tomorrow's a really special day for you. I mean, you only get married once in your entire life. You might as well make it special." Sheena had placed pins in certain parts of the dress, specifically the bust, shoulders, and stomach, to make sure it fit Colette. She untied the ribbon and rearranged the pins. She made every part of the dress fit Colette. Then she went to Colette's room and pulled the chair into the bathroom. She took up the hem. The band of purple was lower on the dress now, but it looked intentional.
"Okay, now will you help me get out of the dress? I need to dry my hair some more."
"What is it with you and drying your hair? You might as well just admit that it's not going to be dry for another few hours."
"Yeah, but I need to comb it so it isn't too tangled."
"Or you could braid it. If you braided it really loosely, it wouldn't get much worse than it is."
"I do both. My hair's so difficult."
"Yeah, mine is too. C'mon, I'll brush yours for you."
"Okay, thank you, Sheena."
Sheena began to brush Colette's hair, carefully so as not to snap the delicate threads.
"Actually, how do you want your hair to be tomorrow? I can do most styles."
"Um… I dunno."
"I think your hair would be nice wavy. I might end up putting all of it up, but how about I make a bunch of little braids as insurance?"
"Sure!"
"Okay. Raine, will you help me?"
"Sure."
"Not too small, about this much hair. That'll make it really wavy. If you don't like anything we're doing, Colette, just tell us."
"No! I love everything!"
"I hoped so. I'll sew up the sides and the hem tonight. It won't take too long. Maybe I'll even do a little embroidery."
"You make yourself sound so feminine!"
"No, I just want my friend to have a fantastic wedding."
"I'll do the same for you when you get married."
"Uh… you probably wouldn't understand the Mizuho fashions."
"I've been there before."
"Yeah, but you've never been to a wedding there."
"Okay. What color do you make your wedding dresses there?"
"Actually, it's not even the kind of dress that you're thinking of. It's kind of like a robe with really wide sleeves… I'll draw one for you later. It's called a kimono. I have one made of silk, and I want to wear it. Maybe you could help me with my hair."
"Oh… okay."
"And I'll get Presea to help me with my obi – that's the special sash – because she's the strongest of us."
Why? Does the knot have to be really tight?"
"No, the obi's supposed to be really tight. That's why I try to avoid special occasions. You know those corsets the stuck-up Tethe'allan noble girls wear to make themselves seem even thinner than they already are?"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. That's how tight it's supposed to be."
"Ow."
"Yeah. I try to avoid formal events because of that reason. Your braids are done."
"Oh! Thanks, you two! I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Well, what are friends for?"
Colette smiled.
"I think," Raine said, "I saw some golden bracelets in a shop in Meltokio."
"Really? Sheena, can we go there?"
"Sure. I mean, it's your wedding. I only suggested it. And yeah, there's a jewelry shop there. They sell hair stuff there, too. I don't think a Mizuho style would really work for Colette. It's too bad; I have some chopsticks that would look great with that dress."
"Chop… sticks? Aren't those for eating?"
"Yeah, but sometimes people use them in their hair, too. It's really pretty, actually."
"Uh… Okay, then. I don't think that would look good on me."
"To Meltokio it is, then. Actually, I know a thrift store in the slums there where you can get just about anything. Maybe we should go there. It'll be cheaper."
"What's a thrift store?"
"It's a store with all sorts of odds and ends for practically nothing. Usually, the stuff there isn't that good, but sometimes there's some nice stuff there. It's worth a try."
"Okay! What are we waiting for?"
They boarded the rheairds and flew across the world to Meltokio, where they went to the slums and the little thrift store there.
They looked through everything. Eventually, Raine found a set of delicate golden bracelets.
"Ooh! They're so pretty! Let's get them!"
Sheena found them then.
"Look at what I found! A golden hair band! Don't you think this would look great on you, Colette? I mean, even if we don't use it, it's not selling for much anyway."
"Ooh! Yeah, let's get it!"
"And I found these purple glass beads. I think they might look good with something, so I'm getting them too. Heck, if I can't find a nice place for them on your dress, I'll probably just do something with my ribbon."
"Okay."
They paid for everything and flew back to Iselia. Colette's hair was dry enough to try on the dress again. This time, they looked at the accessories they had bought.
.-..-..-.
Later, all the girls were sitting in Colette's room. Sheena was sewing, Raine was reading, Presea was carving wood, and Colette was thinking.
"Sheena?"
"Yeah?"
"If… Would it be too late to get my ears pierced?"
"No. Why? Do you want them pierced?"
"Um… Do you know if it hurts?"
"Well, it's putting a piece of metal through your ear. If you consider that, then it hardly hurts at all. I have a friend who got hers pierced, and she said it didn't really hurt too much except for an initial sting."
"Oh. Do you know how long it hurts after that?"
"She said it was just sort of a dull ache, nothing really painful."
"Oh. Do you think I'd look good with pierced ears?"
"Sure. Depends on the earrings you got."
"What kind do you think I should get?"
"Gold. That's always safe. Almost no one's allergic to gold. Plus, it would look good with your hair."
"And my key crest."
Raine and Presea looked at each other like, "why the heck are they talking about this?" as Colette and Sheena continued their conversation.
"Yeah. So, do you want to do that in the morning?"
"Sure. I mean, why not?"
"Okay. We'll have to fly to Meltokio again, though. If you buy the earrings, the jewelry shop will do it for free, since it's promotional."
"If I get a gemstone, what color do you think I should get?"
"Probably red. That would go with your key crest, which would be good since you aren't supposed to take it out for a few months. Or a blue one, which would go with your eyes and your clothes. Maybe even purple, which would match your key crest and your clothes."
"Okay. I'll look at them tomorrow."
"Wait 'till Lloyd sees you. I bet he'll be really surprised."
"Yeah."
"Well, you should sleep. I'm almost done with your dress. Lookit! Isn't it nice?"
"It's great, Sheena!"
"You've been saying that all day."
"That's because it is!"
Presea talked in her odd, neutral voice. "I'm done. Do you like it?"
"Oh! It's so pretty, Presea! It really looks like a rose! Who's it for?"
"Well, Sheena was saying something about hair sticks, so I thought I'd make something…"
"Wow!" (Sheena now) "They look like they came from Mizuho! Are you going to paint them?"
"No. I made them to look good with the grain of the wood. I like them like that."
"Do you want me to do your hair with them tomorrow?"
"Do you think it would look good on me?"
"Yeah. Well, actually, it depends on what you're wearing. You have that pink dress, right?"
"Yeah."
"It'll go great."
"Okay. I'll do your hair tomorrow."
"Thank you."
Sheena went back to her sewing.
"Okay, Colette, try it on again."
"Again?"
"Yeah. I need to make sure I did it right."
"Okay…"
Sheena helped her into the dress, which fit perfectly.
"Good, I don't have to prick myself anymore. Let's all get some sleep."
They had a great sleepover. Colette had a hard time sleeping, but a good time being able too. It had been an entire year since their journey had ended, but she was still thankful that she could taste, feel, speak, and sleep. Most of all, she was happy to be in complete control of her body. She still tripped, of course, but it was always her fault, which she was thankful for.
Tomorrow, she would marry Lloyd. He hadn't understood for so long that she loved him. He had been so oblivious that, eventually, Zelos had had to explain it to him. But, he really did love her. Maybe he just hadn't noticed before. Now, they were finally going to get married. They had each finished school over that year, Lloyd being behind because he slept in class and Colette being behind because she had been educated by the clergy for two years in different subjects from the normal class.
Eventually, she drifted into sleep. She had a dream where she was going to get her ears pierced, but then she had to fight Remiel. Then she played red light/green light in Meltokio. After that, she woke up.
.-..-..-.
Colette was having a hard time choosing which earrings she wanted. She was talking to the girl who was going to pierce her ears.
"So, which ones do you want?"
"Um… I don't know. Which ones do you think I should get?"
"It's your choice!"
"Yeah, but it's a really hard choice!"
"You don't have to do this if you don't want to."
"Yeah, but I do. I just don't know which earrings I want."
"Uh, okay. Do you want little ones like this, or ones that drop down like this, or hoops like this?"
"Um… I don't think I want hoops…"
"So, studs or dangles? Usually studs are good when you're getting your ears pierced, because they're not very heavy."
"Studs then."
"What kind of influence do you want? Floral, or sparkly, or metallic… We have those little stylized knots."
"Uh… I think I want a gem."
"We have sort of a reddish purple, not too dark, that would go with your necklace really nicely. And it would go with that blue."
"Okay. Could I see it?"
"Sure. It would go with your eyes, too."
She showed Colette a stud earring with a little gem, like a blue-tinted ruby, set in decorative gold. Colette recognized the stone.
"Oh! That's a piece of purple quartz!"
"Is it? I thought it was amethyst of some type. I guess if it's quartz it won't sell for as much…"
"No, that's good. I have a bracelet I made with a bunch of different kinds of quartz."
"Oh… Well, would you like to look at it in a mirror?"
"Sure." They went to the little mirror, and Colette held the earring up to her ear. There was a little piece of blue quartz above it, which would neutralize the lightning in the purple quartz.
"Wow! It looks great!"
"Is that what you want?"
"Sheena? Raine? Presea? Do you like it?"
"Yeah! It looks great!"
"It will look good with most of your things."
"I still don't understand why you'd want to do this, but it does look good on you. I remember I liked jewelry when I was seventeen."
The shop girl gave Presea a weird look, because Presea still looked 13. She turned back to Colette and said, "It'll be 56 gald."
They paid her for the earrings, and she got a piece of wire and some paint.
"Where do you want your earrings?"
"About in the middle of my ear lobes. Maybe a little towards the bottom."
The girl marked two dots on Colette's ears. "Does that look good?"
Sheena judged that it was good, so the girl got an ink pot, washed the paint off Colette's ears, and made two dots of ink. Colette closed her eyes so that she couldn't see the girl putting the alcohol on the needle, or the needle into the candle flame, or more alcohol on the needle. She did open her eyes, however, when she felt the needle piercing through her ear. Then the girl dipped the earring in the alcohol, put it through Colette's ear and fastened it. She repeated the process.
"Okay. It's done. Look at yourself."
Colette saw her reflection, which was more sparkly than it had been before.
"How long will it hurt?"
"Well, it only stings like that for about a minute. It hurts less after that. Then in a couple hours you won't really feel it. You have to treat your ears with this though – both sides. Dip some cotton in it, and put it on your ears.
-Obtained Rubbing Alcohol-
"If you don't use it, your ears could get infected. That sterilizes them. Oh, and you can't go swimming for at least 2 days. Any questions?"
"How long is it before I can change them?"
"You should probably wait about six months. They should be healed enough by then to change them. But dip the earrings into the alcohol first. After a few years, you won't have to be so careful, but you should be until they're fully healed. I just made a hole in your ears, so they're really fragile."
"Okay. Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Thanks for coming her to get your ears pierced!"
They rode the rheairds back to Iselia, where Sheena and Raine undid all of Colette's braids and brushed her hair, which was now wavy, and Sheena produced a bottle of hair gel.
"I stole it from Zelos. He has tons of this gunk."
She did a style on Colette where she made two French braids (what do they call them in their world?) on the sides, which turned into braids, connected in the middle, and dropped down as one braid to end in the golden band that Sheena had found in the thrift store. This left most of Colette's wavy hair hanging down.
"Do you like it, Colette?"
"Yeah! It looks great!"
"Stop saying that."
"But it does! It looks extra-shiny when it's wavy!"
"Whatever you say. Presea, do you want me to do your hair now?"
"Sure."
Colette laughed, watching Presea's face contort as Sheena brushed her hair, knowing that she had looked just like that. Sheena did Presea's hair in a bun using the rose-topped hair sticks that Presea had made the might before. For Raine, she combed the bangs down to the side and fixed them with hair gel. She took a small lock from the other side of Raine's face and braided it, putting a little metal charm at the end.
"Sheena, who's going to do your hair?"
"I dunno. I have some metal hair sticks…"
"Oh. That sounds really pretty."
"Yeah, they are."
Sheena was undoing the ribbon in her hair. When it came undone, her hair went down just above her elbow.
"Ooh! I can almost see that style! What kind of metal is it?"
"One's mythril and gold, and one's silver and copper. They're really pretty. They're in my box with my kimono."
"Oh! We all have to get into our dresses!"
"I'll help you with yours. Presea? Will you help me with mine later?"
"I'll do what I can."
"Okay. Colette, I sewed some of those purple beads on your dress after you were asleep. It still looks great."
For the third time, Colette stepped into her white dress. Sheena did the gray ribbon and Colette put on the gloves. Presea's dress was pastel pink, to match her hair, and the sleeves widened at the elbow. It looked sophisticated for a thirteen-year-old, but then, Presea was really twenty-nine.
Raine's dress was blue, with short sleeves and shimmery fabric. She had a ribbon and a crystal pendant for a necklace.
Sheena opened her box. She had three layers: one light cotton layer, a slightly heavier cotton layer, and a silk layer. The silk kimono was purple with pictures on it. The bottom had silver embroidery on it.
"Wow, Sheena! I never thought anyone would make a dress that beautiful!"
"Each kimono is a work of art – no two are the same. They can take over a year to make."
"Wow! And you have a sash for each layer, too."
"Yeah, except this outer layer. Presea, if I teach you the knot, will you tie my obi?"
"Why me?"
"Well, it's supposed to be really tight. Since you're the strongest of us, I figured you'd do the best job."
"Certainly."
Sheena showed Presea the knot, which Presea did easily, then Presea stood on a stool behind Sheena, braced her foot on Sheena's back, and pulled the knot as tightly as she could.
"Yeah… that's about good…"
Presea tied the knot, which looked really elaborate, with her foot still on Sheena's back.
"Okay… I can't really breathe right now, but that's okay."
"Should I loosen it?"
"No, it's supposed to go like this."
"Okay…"
"Raine, will you do my hair?"
"Sure."
Presea took two blue chopsticks from Sheena's box as Raine brushed Sheena's hair. Then she did it up with the sticks.
"Perfect. You look great, Sheena."
Sheena took her grass sandals from her box and stepped into them.
"Will one of you do my makeup, please? Not like in Mizuho – the people of Iselia would never understand that – but maybe a little pink on my cheeks or some red on my lips or something."
Raine did her makeup, then Colette's. Presea's body was young enough that she didn't need any. Then Sheena did Raine's makeup.
"Okay. I think we're ready. Colette, don't forget your gloves."
"Oh! I almost forgot! Thank you, Sheena!"
"No problem!"
"Oh, and will someone look out for Lloyd for me? In Sylvarant, it's supposed to be bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other on the wedding day before the ceremony."
"Okay. Where do you think Zelos is?"
"Probably getting ready."
"Yeah, but where?"
"Um… Maybe at Dirk's house."
"Okay. Do you want to see the look on his face when I give him back his hair gel?"
"You mean, he didn't know you took it?"
"Of course not! That's the funny part!"
"You can go by yourself. Lloyd's probably going to be there…"
"I'll make sure he doesn't look at you. It'll be funny."
"Okay…"
They rode the rheairds to Dirk's house, not wanting to ruin their clothes or hair by fighting, and Presea went first to make sure that Lloyd was out on the balcony when they went up to his room.
"Hey, Zelos!"
Sheena tossed the bottle of hair gel to Zelos, who started whining in that way that only Zelos can whine.
"Sheena! I was looking for this earlier!"
"Yeah, well you have about twenty bottles of that junk, and I needed it for Raine's hair."
"Yeah, but do you know how hard it is to open a new bottle?"
"No, but I'm guessing you're going to tell us."
"It's like they don't want you to be able to open it! One day, it was winter so I was completely frizzy, and I only had one bottle left, and I couldn't open it!"
"The end of the world, was it?"
"My hunnies made fun of me for weeks!"
"Your hunnies are pathetic little girls who don't understand how 2 can be the same as 10."
"Wha?"
"Binary."
"Oh, that lame joke about the 10 kinds of people."
"Yeah."
"No, those are just my palace hunnies. My hunnies at the Royal University were smart."
"Still pathetic, though."
"No, they aren't. I wanted them to act like that, and they loved me enough that they wanted to, too."
"Zelos, they would also have acted like that if you'd drugged them."
"Yeah, but I didn't. That's why I'm cool."
"Why do I even try to argue with you anymore?"
"I dunno. I like it when you argue with me. It's funny."
"I'd hit you if I weren't dressed up like this. I don't want blood on my knuckles for Colette and Lloyd's wedding."
"You should leave. We're all getting ready."
"Okay. I just wanted to see the look on your face when I gave you back your hair gel."
"You're mean."
"Just to you, Zelos."
The girls left, Lloyd went back inside, and Colette yelled, "Bye, Lloyd!" as they left, hoping that Lloyd would hear.
.-..-..-.
It was happening. She was about to walk down the aisle with her father, and then it would all happen… all of it. Her father grabbed her hand, and they walked slowly down the church aisle. About halfway down, Colette tripped on the hem of her dress. She hadn't meant to. She stood back up and blushed heavily all the way up to the altar, where Lloyd whispered, "It's okay." The pastor read the lines, they made their vows, and they kissed. Then they rand down the aisle, and she didn't trip, and they rode Noishe back to Iselia, where they had the after-party. Zelos got slightly drunk after accomplishing his goal of dancing with every girl at the party, and he tried to kiss Sheena, who fended him off with her Vajra card. Regal danced with Presea, which was really funny because he was so much taller than her, but he was good enough that it looked okay.
Kratos had come back from Derris-Kharlan. Colette hugged him, because he was her father-in-law now. He was sort of weirded out by the hug, but he acted normally.
After Regal, Genis danced with Presea, but they Genis didn't talk much, his hands were clammy, and he was blushing. Finally, Presea asked, "Genis, why are you nervous? Do you… like me?"
"Um… what makes you say that?"
"Well, whenever you talk to me, you always seem nervous. It's like when I was twelve and I had a friend who liked this girl, and he was always afraid that he'd say the wrong thing to her."
"Uh…"
"It's okay if you like me."
"I do."
"I can't say that I return your feelings, but we're friends anyway."
"Okay…"
They danced the rest of the dance in awkward silence. Presea felt bad for not feeling the same way for Genis, and Genis felt embarrassed for making Presea feel bad.
Soon, the dance was over. Slightly-drunk Zelos picked Presea up and carried her away from Genis. She yelled at him to put her down, but he went into a rant about how he was closer to her age. Eventually, she dug her nails into the base of his shoulder. He dropped her, and she ran away from him towards Sheena.
"Nice one, Presea! High five!"
"That was mean of him."
"Oh! Look! Regal's going towards him! This is going to be hilarious!"
They watched, laughing out loud as Regal got mad at Zelos, Zelos shrank away from Regal, and Regal lectured Zelos on being kind to women. It was only funny because it was Zelos.
Presea ran up to Genis. "Did you see that?"
"See what?"
"Well, I hurt Zelos to get him to drop me, and Regal saw so he came over and talked to Zelos about being nice to girls."
"I take it he didn't do it nicely."
"No. Sheena and I were laughing so hard! I wish you'd been watching!"
Genis blushed.
Word had gotten around that Regal was good at dancing, so he had no shortage of partners. Colette danced mostly with Lloyd, but also with her father, Kratos, Regal, Genis, some of her old friends, even Zelos at one point. But that was when he was drunk, and he started making rude comments so she stopped dancing with him.
Because most of the guests were from Iselia, and the rest had been on the journey, very few people danced with Raine. Kratos did, because he understood some of the things she wanted to talk about. She also danced with Genis and Regal, and Zelos, who she talked about math with. Raine was Raine, and no one could change that.
Colette danced with Dirk, too. He didn't dance much, but she was his daughter-in-law now, and she wanted to dance with him, so he figured it couldn't hurt. Colette now had three dads. Four, if she counted Remiel, who wasn't really, but they had thought he was at one point. That almost counted.
.-..-..-.
"So, Lloyd, now that the party's over, where do you want to live?"
"I dunno. Do you want to live in Sylvarant or Tethe'alla?"
"Um… Tethe'alla."
"Okay. What should we do for a living?"
"Well… you make really pretty figurines and jewelry and stuff."
"Okay. So, we can live anywhere."
"How about in Sybak? Then we'll be in between everyone."
"Yeah, but everyone's so smart there. We'd never fit in."
"Okay… then how about Meltokio?"
"Sure."
"Okay. Let's look for a place there tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Oh! I have to put some rubbing alcohol on my ears!"
"Why?"
"Didn't you notice my ears were pierced?"
"Uh… No?"
"You're so oblivious, Lloyd."
"Hehe… Can I see your earrings?"
"Sure! See? Lookit!"
"Hey, is that purple quartz?"
"Yeah, but there's blue quartz next to it, so it's okay."
"Okay."
"Pretty, aren't they?"
"Uh… yeah, sure."
"You don't like them?"
"I just don't really care about jewelry."
"I can't believe you danced with me almost all night and you didn't notice my ears were pierced."
"That's not the sort of thing I usually notice."
"Do you like my bracelet?"
"You were – oh. Yeah, it's pretty."
"You didn't notice that, either."
"Nope."
"Well, did you like the wedding?"
"Yeah, it was cool."
"…Except that I tripped."
"Yeah, but I don't care. Whenever you trip, something good happens. Maybe it's lucky."
"Hehe. Yeah!"
.-..-..-.
In the morning, they rode their rheairds to Meltokio and found a house for 52,500 gald. They had to borrow from their friends and fight some monsters to get it, but it was the most reasonable house in Meltokio.
"Okay, so now we're married, we have a house with furnishings… what do we want to do next?"
"Let's see what we can do to redecorate it. I don't know what you see in this place, but we might as well try to do something."
They went to a place that sold rugs and carpeting, the kind of carpeting that could be cut into pieces and given as samples for indecisive people. They got a couple handfuls of carpet samples, and went around Tethe'alla to other stores to get the same kinds of stuff. Eventually, Colette said that they had enough. Lloyd still had no idea what she was trying to do, but he had an idea.
They rolled up the hideous rugs that had come with the house and bought a big tub of glue. They painted the floor with the glue in big sections and fitted the carpet scraps together to make a big, multi-colored carpet. It took them a few hours, but when they were done, Colette was ecstatic.
"Oh, Lloyd! Look how pretty it is!"
"It's kind of… tacky."
"Yeah, but in a pretty way."
They hung up the curtains they had gotten from their wedding and went to see Zelos. He invited them to stay for dinner, so they did. They had gotten into a discussion about angel wings somehow, so all three of them showed their wings. That was the biggest event of the night. Then Lloyd and Colette went back to their house and fell asleep.
Well? Comments? I can take flames. My dream creeped me out, but I told my family about it and my mom said that it couldn't be Colette's wedding if she didn't trip at least once. I feel sorry for any kid she has. It's going to have been dropped on its head before she's even had it. Maybe she just won't stand up much.
