Chappie dos! Hooray!! I think I kinda left out some parts…so…we'll be starting where SPOILER everyone is going to stay behind.

Sheena: Ugh. Come on. I don't want to be here.

Of course you don't. You'd rather be with Zelos!

Sheena: -blushes- N-no I wouldn't!!

Zelos: Hey, hunny! I knew it!

Sheena: NO! T-that's not what I…

Zelos: Sure, sure. I believe you.

Sheena: Hey! Get back here!

-I run away- Please read before I'm toast!

Zelos: -whines- Hey! –looks around- Sheena? Wait for me! –hearts trail him-

Love...or Not?

We ran and ran and ran. After countless enemies and many potions, healing spells, and other spells later, we finally made it to a door.

"A door? Finally!" Genis yelled, hoping they would be getting somewhere soon.

Raine sighed. "Genis…you're whining is making my patience grow thin…"

As the door closed, a bell—much similar to a church one—started to ring. "What's going on?" Lloyd cries. "What's up with this bell sound?"

I looked at him. "I don't know…wait! Look out!!!" I yelled, shoving him as an angel's sword just missed his head.

He stared at me with big, bulging eyes. "Whew! Thanks Sheena! That was a close one!"

Regal stood on guard. "No time for that! We're gonna have to fight!"

We fought quickly and won, but after that came an even larger number of angels. Regal yelled, "Let's go!" and started running towards the exit. When we made it through, he broke the support pillars and told us to leave, leaving him alone to fight the angels. Lloyd stopped, turned around, and was shocked at what he saw.

I knew we had to keep going, so I yelled for him. "Lloyd! We have to get going! I bet Regal has a good explanation for this!"

"Yes, Sheena. I do. Lloyd, you must go save Colette. I could not save the one that I held most dear, but you are given that chance. Do not waste it. Go."

"But Regal…" Lloyd stammered, hoping to change his mind.

"No. If you truly understand what I am trying to tell you, then you will go. Don't worry. I will come back and join you later on. For now…" the bells ringing turned Regal's attention towards the angels heading his way. Lloyd decided to go ahead and go on, pondering what had just passed.

Lloyd…I thought. You're so courageous. I never was like that…until I met you. And then Zelos, he gave me…hope. Courage. Like you. But, thanks to you, I now have the courage to face Zelos. And if I have to kill him…well, let's not dwell on that.

"Sheena?" Lloyd said, looking at me questionable. "Uh…why are you staring at me like that?"

It took me moments to realize I had been staring at his face with lack-luster eyes for some time now. "Heh. Sorry. I was just thinking about stuff." Hoping that he wouldn't think anymore of that, I was relieved when he said, "Oh. Okay." We pressed on after that…incident. It was not long before we ended up at yet…you guessed it…another door. "What's up with these damn doors?" I mumbled.

We walked through the other door and across a bridge. Two stick-like projections stopped us from going any further. "Woah!" Lloyd yelled, close enough to get hit, but far enough to not be 'stabbed', I guess, by the branches.

"What is this thing?" He said, looking up at a tree-like form.

Oh no…I thought. "These must be remnants from the Giant Tree." I replied. I know how to defeat this…

"You mean…"

"Yep. No doubt about it. Step back and let me take care of it." Zelos…I'm going. I'm going out with a bang. Don't say I didn't love you, because I did.

I called forth Gnome, Volt, Shadow, and Celsius and told them of my plan. They lent me their powers, and soon I was firing something that resembled the Mana Cannon used before. "Lloyd!" I yelled, straining my mana. "Run underneath it! Hurry!!" As he ran, I yelled and the full force of my 'mana cannon' made the tree fall.

"Whew!" I said. "That was…"

"That was awesome!" Lloyd said. I blushed and replied, "Thanks. Whew! That took up all my—" A branch came up and grabbed my leg. "AUGHHH!" I screamed, hanging on to a branch by one hand.

"Sheena!" Lloyd yelled. "Hold on!"

"Ha, hahahahaha!" I laughed. "Sheena?" Lloyd asked, his voice trembling slightly. "It seems I have an affinity for falling in holes!"

"Sheena! Don't worry! We'll get you out!" he screamed. "No, you go on! Go and save Colette! Just leave me a piece of the action!" He left.

Martel! I thought. "Man, I gotta be more feminine at times like this and let him rescue me!" I chuckled. "But then, that wouldn't be my style, now would it?"

Lloyd… I was thinking. Good luck… I blacked out after that. A couple of minutes later, I felt myself getting lifted up and my name being called. "—eena? Sheena! Don't…die on me!"

Zelos…I thought. "Zelos?" My voice crackled. "Martel! Thank you! You're alright!" I felt him hug me. As soon as he healed me, I leapt out of his arms. "What is it, Sheena?"

"You dumbass! You betrayed us! Why did you just heal me?" I pulled out my cards, ready to fight to the death.

"But Sheena, I love you." With those words, I slowly lowered my hands. "Zelos, why? Why did you do this? How do I know you're not lying?"

He came near me and planted a kiss on my lips. "Would I do that if I were lying? I had to get the Aionis so that Lloyd can wield the Eternal Sword. Trust me Sheena…"

I stood back and realized that my eyes were swirling. He caught me, but I was out, until I heard another man's voice. "You got her? Good."

------------------------------

So…who's this mysterious man?

Sheena: You're so clichéd.

Oh hush. I'm the one that made you…well, no Namco made you get saved. You're just lucky that Zelos saved you.

Sheena: And on top of that, it's Zelos!
Zelos: -whines- Hey! That's not funny, Sheena… sob sob

Sheena: Wait…

Anyways, review please while Sheena goes over the conversation!
