Tai: Update on the fight for my favorite plushie: Presea gave up. She says fighting is not the answer. So Genis agreed with her and gave up as well.

Presea: Fighting ends in nothing but pain.

Genis: She knows what she's talking about ya know.

Tai: Ok. REVIEW TIME!

Tai: Ok, now it's time to write the story... It's so nice not having Zelos here to say anything.

Chapter 4

Colette was shopping and she couldn't stop. She had been there nearly all day and she still hadn't found anything for Lloyd.

"Hmm…" she said picking up a sword polishing kit. "Nah. I wonder if boy's enjoy getting new outfits for their birthday." she said picking up a green shirt with matching blue jeans. "Nah." she said again.

She went through many outfits but she didn't like any of them. Then she went over to the food court.

She went up to the nearest fast-food counter.

"Hi, I would like a cheeseburger without onions, a small fry and a small soda." she said to the man at the counter.

"Pop?" the man said.

"What?"

"You said soda. Did you mean pop?"

"…"

"…"

"Is there really a difference?"

"Well of course there is… i think…"

"Ok, just put Pepsi in the cup." she said.

"Ok, I'm on It." he said then turned around and said, "Cheeseburger without onions and a small fry." Then he turned back to Colette. "I'll take care of putting Pepsi in your cup. He put Pepsi in the cup. Grabbed her meal put it in a bag then gave it to her. Now, that'll be $6.68 cash or credit, no checks."

"Gald?"

"Excuse you."

"Can I pay in Gald?"

"…"

"You know, Gald."

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. Here's 668 Gald, take care."

The man stared at her then looked in his hand. Shrugged then put the money in the cash register then turned to help the next person in line.

"People these days." Colette said then sat down at a table.

She began to eat her cheeseburger when she spotted someone staring at her.

She stared right back at the man who was staring at her. And it had begun. The staring contest was in progress.

She kept staring at him and he just stared right back. Colette stared at him and took a sip of her soda.

The man was wearing a hooded cloak. The hood covered most of his head. But his eyes were still visible.

Suddenly he pulled back his hood and walked over too the table.

Colette blinked instantly and said, "Kratos?"

"I win." he said sitting down at the table.

----------

Lloyd went to inform everyone that they needed to make a small boat to race with the next day.

First he decided to go to Genis and Raine's house.

"Hey!" he said as he entered.

"Hello Lloyd," Raine said, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, quite."

"Good."

"Where is Genis?"

"He went shopping for a present for you."

"Genis went shopping? What about you?"

"I decided to stay home."

"Ok."

"What are you here for?"

"I'm here to tell you need to make a miniature boat for my birthday tomorrow. You and Genis will need one."

"Ok, I see."

"Yeah, well later. I gotta go tell everyone else."

"Ok, goodbye."

Lloyd walked outside and headed for Zelos' house.

----------

He got there and knocked. He didn't hear anything.

Then he heard a loud sound from behind him.

It was-

(Tai's Phone Rings)

Tai: Oh great, not now. Hello?

Dorkoid: Hi.

Tai: Hi, What do you want?

Dorkoid: I was just wondering. Would you make out with a broom?

Tai: WHAT? YOU MORON! I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A FANFIC; I HAVE NO TIME FOR YOUR STUPIDITY!

(CLICK)

Tai: Sorry about that. I'll get back to the story right now. I think his name is Dorkoid for a reason. Um, dang. Where was I? Oh, right.

It was Noishe. Genis was on his back.

And Noishe ran right into Lloyd. Lloyd went flying backwards.

Genis hopped of Noishe. And ran over to Lloyd.

"Are you ok Lloyd?" he asked.

"Ow, that hurts you know, really bad." Lloyd answered.

"But you're tough, so you can take it… right?"

"Yeah, I can take it… I think."

Lloyd just lay on the ground not moving.

"Are you gonna get up?" Genis asked.

"I dunno, it's kinda hard you know. You could try and help me."

"Oh, right." Genis said then helped Lloyd up.

"Thanks."

"What were you doing at Zelos' house? He's still healing at the hospital."

"Oh… What were you on Noishe for?"

"I just got back from shopping for your present. I hate shopping." Genis said holding up a bag.

"Oh."

"Now, what did you need at Zelos' house?"

"I need to go tell everyone about what to bring to my party."

"Why don't you just post it on a message board?"

"They have that in Animal Crossing, not here."

"What? They gotta have a message board since we don't get phones!"

"What's a phone?"

"…Never mind."

"Ok."

"Hey, don't you want to find out? Ask about it!"

"Shut up, I don't have to listen to you."

"You should."

Lloyd stuck out his tongue in no specific direction.

"Are you ok Lloyd?" Genis asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"…" Genis just stared at him.

"Really. I just. Well ya know. Oh never mind."

"…"

"Stop staring at me!"

Genis rolled his eyes. Then walked off to his house.

"Don't talk to me when I'm around other people you moron."

"Heh, heh. I'm the moron? I'm still you, now don't make fun of yourself?"

Noishe barked.

"What? You don't think I'm crazy do you?"

Noishe whined then ran off.

"Oh, by the way. There's a message board near the shop. In case you didn't remember."

"Stop being such a know-it-all."

"Whatever."

"Really, you are very annoying."

"Do you want me to leave again?"

Lloyd walked home angrily. He opened the door. Went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

He went to sit on the couch. He found Genis there.

"Uhh, Genis, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Umm… I couldn't get into my house so I went to see if you were home. Your door was unlocked so I decided to wait for you in here."

"What? I locked the door when I left."

"Does that mean you didn't leave your fireplace lit with logs leading across the ground?"

"I'm not that careless!"

"You're lucky I was here or the whole house might've burned down."

"Yeah I guess."

Suddenly there were 2 loud bangs. Shouts of pain echoed through the house.

(Tai's phone rings)

Tai: Why now? Hello.

Dorkoid: Aren't you going?

Tai: What? OH! Dang, I gotta leave. Bye.

Dorkoid: Bye.
