Yay!!!! Thanks for the reviews, guys! They made me feel better.
Is anyone excited for Harry Potter? I can't wait for it to come out. Hahaha. I'm going to one of those midnight madness parties. Yesh!!!
Now, back to lovely Tales of Symphonia.
Disclaimer: If I owned Tales of Symphonia, do you think I'd need to wait until Saturday to get my hands on a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
CHAPTER 4:Wednesday Night/ Thursday
I turn my head to look at her. "Yes, it is. I have always enjoyed looking at the stars."
After a few moments, I say, "Why don't you tell me more about yourself? I fear that I have been talking almost too much tonight."
She laughs at me and assures me, "Don't worry about it. I'm afraid I'm the one who talks too much."
I chuckle and encourage her. "Go on, tell me something."
"Okay. Weeeeellllllllll..." Anna stretches out the word as she tries to think of something. Her eyes light up and she proclaims, "I love to watch historical fiction films. Especially the ones from midevil times."
"Yes, those are good. Kingdom of Heaven was really good, wasn't it?" I muse aloud. "I rather enjoy those sorts of movies as well."
Anna stifles a laugh. I fix her with a mock glare. "What is it?"
"You talk so strangely. It's endearing." she smirks at me. "Aaaannyways, I love to draw, too. I'm not too bad at it if I say so myself."
"Ahh, same here." I nod. "And?"
"Martial arts. We all pick on Sheena for being a ninja, but I'm really into it as well." Anna admits.
"Me, too. That's one of the reasons I met Sheena. We had the same martial arts class." I mention.
"Flying and adventure are high on my list, too. I love to fly." she sighs with a grin on her face.
"And literature. Good old books and english." she giggles. I nod again.
I chuckle at her again and she turns her liquid brown eyes on me, startling butterflies to life in my stomach. We immediately launch into a discussion of various books we've read and other such things as the party continues all around us.
------------------------
I don't even bother contemplating how strange it is to dream of the same girl I've never met four nights in a row. All I can think is how I wish that she wasn't just the girl in my dreams. All I can think of is how perfect she seems.
I wish she were real. If she were real...
I shake my head. I must be going insane. I've developed an attachment to a girl- Anna- in my dreams.
And yet, at the same time...
These dreams don't seem as if they're truly normal, where random things happen and you get transported from place to place. It almost seems like our very souls are meeting in the dreamworld...
I shake my head thoroughly and get up to wake up LLoyd. As I do so, I suddenly remember I still need to get Colette a gift. I'll go after my classes and drag Yuan and Martel with me.
------------------------
Yuan was somewhat reluctant to enter the mall, even with Martel. Yuan was a very handsome young man with sapphire eyes and sea green hair. Somehow, whenever the two of us went to the mall, we'd make all of the girls around us stare. Martel's warning looks didn't discourage them in the least. Martel is a very pretty young woman, too. Her alluring green eyes and long vibrant green hair also get her appreciative glances from the guys.
"What do you think you'll get her?" Martel asks as we wander around the mall.
"I have absolutely no idea. Earrings? Nah, she's got too many of those." I mutter to myself. "We all know that Lloyd's giving her a promise ring, so I'm not gonna give her a ring or anything. How about... lotion?"
Yuan laughs at me. "You're desperate, huh?"
"Pretty much."
"Let's go in Bath and Body Works." Martel pulls Yuan towards the front of the store.
"Uh-uh, babe. You know my policy when it comes to purfumes and stuff." Yuan stopped at the threshold of the store.
"I know, but it doesn't hurt to try. Kratos, you have to come in, since it's your present." Martel drags me in.
"I'll take care of the funeral arrangements!" Yuan cheerfully calls.
With a scowl at him, I discreetly flip him off.
I turn to the lotions and brace myself to have a huge headache by the time we're finished. With teamwork, Martel and I decide to get Colette something called Sugar Cookie or Sugar Vanilla or something. I eagerly snatch the bag and head out the entrance. Yuan gives me a mockingly amazed look. "You're alive! How do you do it?"
Just as I open my mouth to retort something to my best friend, I catch the sight of long brown hair, just like Anna's from my dream. I attempt to follow the head, but it's too late. Whoever she is, she is quickly swallowed up by the crowd.
"Kratos, man, what's up?" Yuan waves a hand in front of my face.
"Sorry, it's nothing." I answer.

There's chapter 4! Chapter 5 will be following soon. I'd like to finish putting up this story before Band Camp starts.
