Chapter 7!! (FINAL CHAPTER)

((sob)) It's the end!!

Zelos' Mansion

Genis walked in with Presea in tow and sat down on one of the couches, sitting tensely for a moment, then sinking into the soft fabric.

Presea sat down also on the other side of the couch and sat back stiffly.

"Hey-oooo!" A voice echoed from the door, as Zelos leaned on the doorway. "What, the little munchkins are doing nothing?"

Genis looked sourly at the ex-Chosen. "We just got back from the Earth Temple. We were getting Presea's bow, stupid."

Sheena came in after Zelos and pushed him aside, gently (to Genis' surprise) and went ahead to sit on a couch. "Wow... I'm stuffed." She announced. Zelos sat next to her.

"You shouldn't stuff yourself," he said, his trademark grin on his face, "You'll ruin your perfect body."

Sheena swatted at him a bit and scowled. "Go away, will you?"

"Nah, I'm fine." he said, leaving everyone guessing whether he missed the sarcasm, or he was just plain stupid.

Sheena scowled and sighed, leaning against the arm of the couch. "So... you went to the Earth Temple for Presea's bow?"

Genis nodded.

Raine came in next and looked at them all quizzically. "Genis," she said, "what were you doing while we were gone?"

"Looking for Presea's bow." Genis said irritably.

"And I see you found it." Raine commented, sitting in a chair with her hands on her lap. "Ah... Zelos is quiet... And Llyod isn't--"

"Hey, Genis!"

"--Here..." Raine said sourly. "So much for peace and quiet."

"What were you doing?" Lloyd asked cheerfully.

"Looking for Presea's bow." Genis repeated, ending it with a sigh.

"Oh." Lloyd said. "Okay."

"Hi, everyone." Colette said, skipping in and sitting criss-cross on the floor.

"Please, before you ask, we were getting Presea's bow." Genis said patiently.

"Oh. That's good!" Colette exclaimed.

Nexy came Regal and a dazy Kratos. "Greetings." Regal said.

Kratos looked at them all and sighed, retreating to his room.

"What's his problem?" Genis asked.

"Oh... Gramp's hangover kicked in during the breakfast and he threw up on the dessert table." Zelos said, chuckling.

"Eww." Genis said, scowling.

Silence followed.

"So who's up for a game of Truth or Dare?" Zelos asked cockily.

"No." Came the firm responce from everyone, including Kratos.

"Fine, fine." Zelos whined. "Be that way. It's not like anyone got hurt--"

And suddenly, a vase came crashing down on Zelos' head. "Say that again..." came Kratos' voice from his room, "and the let's see if nobody got hurt."

END!

Yeah... It's the end. I loved this story so very much when I started it... but like almost every story, the interest faded.

Just like all my stories, they'll always hold a place in my heart since all of them came from a deeper meaning.
