Heeeeeeeeey…I'm back with another chapter! Just so everyone knows…I'm not telling the final pairings! SO YOU'LL HAVE TO READ IT! BWAHAHAHA!

Disclaimer: I give the fact that I don't own Tales of Symphonia, a 1 out of 5…million.

Genis slammed down the door at Linar's house. "Raine! We have to-OMIGOSH!"

Genis had just walked in on Raine and Linar making out.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! KIDDING! GOTCHA! HAHAHAHAHA! Whew…Okay, I'll try to be serious now, sorry, just HAD to do that! n.n;

Regal Bryant sat at his desk tapping his pen. He was so, bored. 'That is such a childish remark, but the more I deny it, the more it is true,' he thought dully. You would think with all the exspheres to be destroyed, and all the repair work to be done, the Lezanaro Company would have more to do. "Not today I suppose…" he said aloud.

"Mr. Bryant, sir." Regal looked up to see George standing there.

"Ah, hello George!" Regal welcomed warmly. 'Finally some work to do!'

"You have a visitor…"

"Ah, I see…" Regal thought for a moment and the replied, "Send them in."

"Yes sir." George bowed to his president and left the room.

Regal tapped his pen anxiously awaiting his visitor. Maybe they had something important to announce? And he would have to go save some people, or clean up some village, or SOMETHING! 'Ah! No! I shouldn't think like that! That is nothing to get excited about!'

"Hello Regal!"

Regal snapped his head back up from his thoughts and looked up at Colette. "Oh, hello Colette…" he mumbled.

"Oh…hi…"

Regal, realizing he had unintentionally offended Colette, immediately came up with a come back. "Erm, Nice to see you Colette! What brings you here?"

Colette brightened up a bit. "I came to…" Then she remembered why had come, and her smile faded somewhat.

"To…?"

Colette came back to earth and said, "To…ask you about the wedding."

Regal looked surprised. "Oh? Take a seat."

"Yeah…" she replied as she sat down in a chair in front of Regal's desk.

'Hmmm, well decorating and such is SOMETHING to do…' Regal stood up. "Well…do you need decorations, and such? Or food to be shipped? Or…"

"Advice?" Colette smiled nervously.

"Oh…advice…Uh, well…" 'Advice? What advice could I possibly give?'

"I understand…" Colette got up to.

"Ah, of course I will give you advice. But, I'm not sure what good it will do…"

Colette turned back. "Well…how do you feel about it?"

"Pardon?"

"About me and Lloyd…"

"Ahhh…" he said thoughtfully stroking his chin.

Colette noticed he understood right after she had specified her worry about the engagement to Lloyd. 'What's going on here? They all know about something?'

Regal sat forward and put his elbows on his desk. "Well, you should prepare yourself…you may not like what I have to say."

Colette gulped silently as she sat back down.

"I think someone else is in love with him."

Colette blinked. 'That's all?'

"Lloyd may not know this, though."

"Who? Who loves Lloyd?"

Regal shook his head. "That…is not for me to say. I'm sorry."

Colette was somewhat confused, again. What did all this mean? She stood up again. "Well, thank you…can you tell me where Presea is?"

Regal looked back down at his desk work as he replied, "I believe she went to Luin."

Colette nodded. "I see…thank you!"

Colette walked out the door and George walked back in. "Hello, sir. Did the visit go well?"

"It was interesting…" Regal replied not looking up from his paperwork.

"Ah, well…that's good?"

Regal shook his head. "Ah, nevermind. Anything for the company to do?"

"Why yes sir, I have some work here."

'FINALLY!' George plopped a large amount of paperwork on top of Regal's current pile.

"Here sir. It all needs to be done by next week." With that, he left the room for Regal to moan over his enormous, Mount-Everest-High paperwork.

Sheena walked slowly back to her Rheaird. What did Corrine mean tell him? Was Corrine CRAZY? 'It doesn't matter,' Sheena decided. 'I'll have to head to Mizuho.'

With that Sheena boarded her Rheaird and started it up.

Genis slammed down the door at Linar's house. "Raine! We have to-OMIGOSH!"

Genis walked in and saw Linar lying on the floor with a giant red bulge on his forehead. (A/N: Hahahaha…gotcha didn't I? ;P)

"Linar! Are you okay?"

Linar lifted his head somewhat, and murmured weakly, "Hey, Genis…seen Raine?"

"Did Raine do that?" Genis asked with wide eyes.

"Uh…I am not brave enough to discuss that…"

"That'd be a yes then…You're the last person I would expect her hit!"

"Really?" Linar suddenly asked.

"Uh, yeah…You LIKE her?"

"Uh…Once again, I am not brave enough to discuss that…"

"Another yes…"

Raine popped open the door with a bowl of water and some cloths. "Ah, Genis, good. Help me put these on Linar's head," she ordered as she placed a cloth in Genis' hands.

"Okay," he replied as he placed the cloth on Linar's head.

"Are you alright?" Raine asked, worried, as she put another cloth on Linar's head.

"I'll be fine…now." He blushed.

Presea examined her axe. "Needs more…" She picked up the sharpening stone Genis had given her (A/N: That happens in the game) and scraped it across the surface of the blade. She examined it once again. "Hm…not getting sharper…" She'd have to buy a new one. Luckily she was in Luin; they had the best weapons here (A/N: which, they do).

She sighed as she got up and dragged her axe to the armory. She would never admit it, but she disliked going to the armory. The cashier would always comment on how small she was.

Flashback:

"Oh, you're awfully young for a BIG weapon aren't you?"

"…"

"You're a cute kid, but ya need Mommy's permission to get a BIG weapon, okay?"

He always emphasized the word "BIG". As if she didn't hear him, the FIRST TIME!

"An axe…I need one…"

"Go home little girl!"

Little. That's what he called her. Little. She was fricken 28 years-old for crying out loud! Well, she knew how to use an axe.

Presea lifted it up and smashed half the counter. "I need an axe," she said firmly.

The cashier was scarred emotionally for life now. "H-h-here! TAKE IT! I-it's free!"

"Thank…you…" Presea picked up the axe and walked casually out of the building.

End Flashback

Presea sighed as she dragged her axe into the shop. She threw it up on the counter. "I'll sell this…" she said blandly.

A man turned around. "Well, hello there little girl." He picked up the axe and began counting up how much money he should pay. "Hmm, I'll give you…600 Gald. How's that?"

"That's…fine…" 'Little…girl? Ugh…'

The cashier counted the money and handed it to Presea. Presea the said, "I'd like to…buy a hammer…please."

"A hammer?" The man tried to hold in the fits of laughter. "Um, heh, listen, sw-sweetie…haha…you're too small for a hammer. Ahaha…"

Presea was irritated. "What…happened to the last…cashier…?"

"Oh, he said something about a pink-haired kid sma…shing-On second thought, here! Take the hammer for free!"

'That went well.' Presea took her free hammer and left the building. As she walked through the door, she bumped into someone. "Excuse…me…" Presea said as she stood up and brushed her self off.

"Oh! Presea! I've been looking for you!"

Presea turned her head to see Colette. "Colette…hello…"

Sooooo…I'm gonna stop it here! And uh… yeah…The longest chapter so far! Almost 6 pages! W00t! Sorry, I haven't gotten to the good parts yet! They'll be in the next chapter! So…How's Lloyd gonna take Sheena's confession? Will Colette figure it out? What kind of hair gel does Genis use? I don't know! Oh, wait, yes I do because I'm the authoress! REVIEW!
