CHAPTER 3!

Last time:

"Yha, Dad. I really think you should rest for awhile." Lloyd suggested.

"Naw...izzzzz...maaa...tawn..." Kratos mumbled. "I...pw...k...Co...e...ttt..."

"M...me?"

Now:

"Yaw..." Kratos mumbled.

"Oh. Ok! I pick... Truth!" Colette piped.

"Oooo...Izzzz...it...twue...zzzaa...ttt...you...an...my sown...(my son) are...in... :hiccup: an...itemmm?"

Colette flushed. "And item? Me...and Lloyd?"

"Yaaaaw..." Kratos hiccuped.

"I..." Colette blushed a dark shade of red. "I...guess." She blushed harder and smiled at Lloyd, who's jaw was hanging open.

"...You..." Lloyd was searching for the right words. He took her hand and lead her to a room upstairs.

Kratos fainted. Not because of Colette's response, but because of the alcohol. He was going to have a HORRIBLE hangover later.

Sheena smirked. "It's a good thing that Colette knows how to limit herself. If not...I would get a little worried about what might happen..."

In the back room: Colette and Lloyd

"Colette, you...?" Lloyd began. He was blushing and scratching the back of his head nervously. Why was he like this? It wasn't like he was never alone with her before.

Colette blushed. "Uh...yes...I...guess so..." She looked up and took Lloyd's hand. "Lloyd. You're my best friend. But our quest to regenerate the world made me realize... Made me realize...that to me, you're more then a friend!"

"Colette... You really think that?" Lloyd asked, taking his other hand and placing it on Colette's hand.

"Yes, Lloyd. I'm sorry if you don't think of me that way. And I'm sorry that I've kept this from you for so long! Ever since I met you, you didn't like me because I was Chosen, you liked me because I was me."

Flashback

"Hello! Who are you? I've...never seen you before." Colette shouted to Lloyd as he walked towards the school.

Lloyd turned to Colette. "Tell me your name, and I'll tell you mine."

"Oh. I'm sorry. My name is Colette Brunel. I live here in Iselia. Where do you live?"

"Oh. I'm Lloyd Irving. I live with my Dad in Iselia Forest."

"The Forest? But...there are monsters! You must be really strong!"

Lloyd blushed. "Uh...yeah. I guess you could say that."

"And Desians! There are Desians, too. Your father and you don't apply to the Peace Treaty. Are you ok up there?"

"Yeah. I pass the Desian Human Ranch on the way here. They basically stay inside the ranch. They don't bother passerbys. Unless they go near the Human Ranch. I've never seen someone do that, but you just figure that, neh?"

"I guess so. That's so amazing, Lloyd! You're so brave! You walk by the Human Ranch!"

Lloyd blushed. "You're pretty cool, too. You're rich and pretty popular around the village."

Colette blushed, too. "Yeah. That's because I'm the Chosen!" She said kindly.

"The Chosen, huh? That's pretty neat Colette."

"You're not... going to act more proper?"

"Uh...should I have?" Lloyd asked, scratching his head.

Colette smiled and walked forward and tripped, causing her to fall on Lloyd (Not knock him down, perverts. Just a HUG. Get your minds out of the gutter.) They both blushed and Colette backed up.

"So..." She began, looking at Lloyd intently "We're friends, right?"

"Yeah. Sealed with a hug." Lloyd remarked, the blush fading.

Thankyou, Lloyd. She thought. You like me...because I'm me. Not because I'm the Chosen, or because I'm rich. Thankyou.

End of Flashback

"I guess so." Lloyd told her.

"So...are we...together?" Colette asked, pleasently, but inside, she felt extremely awkward.

"If you say so." Lloyd told her.

"Yes. Yes, we are." Colette replied happily.

Lloyd smiled and blushed. He stepped forward and awkwardly wrapped his arms around her.

Colette blushed and reluctantly hugged back. "I..." She gently rested her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes. "Lloyd...I..."

"Before you say that," Lloyd said gently, pulling back from their innocent hug. "I'll say this. Colette, I...I love...you." (This is such a fluffy moment!)

Chapter over! You'll kill me for this. Not skit, i'm in a hurry, sorry.
