"Sometimes Getting A Happy Ending Isn't So Easy." --
Chap. 01. --
"Problems of the Heart."
"Where am I?" Magma looked around to find himself standing in the castle hall. "What's going on?"

"Hey, Magma?!"

"Hunter?!"

"What's wrong? You suppose to be smiling?! This is a happy day!"

"It is?!"

"Hunter?! Don't tell me that Magma has lost his placing at his own wedding?!"

"Magma?! What are you talking about? Aqune's over there!" Igneous pointed to the bride maids, revealing one of them to be Aqune.

"But, what about Portia?!"

"She's over there!" the captain of the Arachna military replied as Magma turned to see the purple Battle Spider hanging the other Battle Spiders. There were some he knew, Shadow, Venus, Flame, Hotarla, Ebony, & Brutus; but there were also some he didn't know.

"Huh?" when Magma saw the guests, he was shocked; he had no idea who half of the guests were.

That's when it started! First, wedding bells rang; Princess Sparkle skipped down the aile as the flower girl; & then the bride began to down the aile as well. Magma straightened up as he stood still with unease. "Why hello, Magma?!" she said with a tomboyish voice as she curtsied in front in, which a custom for a bride do at her wedding; at least, the inner world. She was one looker of a bride.

Now, as a wedding custom in the inner world, the groom must look under their bride's veil & say hello to her. When Magma did, he saw the lovely face of a beautiful girl with light-brown hair, bright-green eyes, & light-tan skin. But, before he could say a word, the ground began to shake. The castle was torn apart in several places, & Magma, trying to save his bride, reached out for her hand, only to fell the gorge below.

&
"Nnnnnnnnnooooooooo!!" Magma screamed as he awoke with a start.

"Magma?! Are you all right?"

"I'm O.K., Brutus." Magma replied as he then searched himself, only to then give a sigh of relief. "It was a dream, right?! It was just a dream, O.K.?!"

"A dream?! 'Must've been more like a nightmare?!"

A few weeks later...
"Mnn! It's good to back?!"

"You seened to be feeling better?!"

"Well, I figure, once I talk to Lily about my dreams, everything'll be O.K.!"

"Hey, Magma?!"

"Hello, Princess Sparkle?!" Magma then suddenly looked in shock as he realized that the girl standing next to the princess was one of the girls from his dreams. "Aaaaahhhhh!!"

"What is it!? What's wrong!?"

"IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A DREAM!! IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A DREAM!!"

"Is he always like this?" the girl, Artemis, asked Sparkle, only to get a 'no'.

Later...
"So?! You wanted to see me, Magma?!"

"Yes, Lilly. I have this strange dream, & I was hoping you could help me understand it better?!"

"Oh, O.K. then Magma." As Magma explained the dream Lilly, she peered into her crystal ball, & she didn't seem to like what she was seeing. "Magma?! You must know that this dream is no ordinary dream."

"I knew it." Magma said with a sigh & a heavy heart. "I guess I'm going to have to make a choice: keep my promise to Brutus, or start chasing my dream girl -- my actual dream girl."

"Nonsense, you can do both..." Lilly replied as she got Magma's attention. "...In fact, you have to..." he did not like the way she said that. "...For if you don't, the two quests will come in conflict, & the results may be chaotic."

"Oh, brother?!" he just couldn't believe it. "Uh...I'll try to remember that."

"Oh, & one more thing, Magma?!"

"What's that?"

"The girl's name is Jasmine Steele..." Lilly informed the Spider Rider. "...she just so happens the older sister of Hunter Steele."
