Laura: We'd like to thank Elonie Kyle, Vampwriter, Riku Uchiha, Twlight Angels, Shadow Zeranion, Silver and White Angels, WingedWithFiaryMana, Laur3 Sincl4ir, Rushingriver, and NightmareSyndrom for reviewing. We love hearing from you!!
Lea: YAHOO!! I'm back and better then ever! I'm so sorry about not updating for the longest time! It sucked! Anyway, my super awesome brother gave me his computer so I went on a writing spree. 10 pages in one day! That and, as promised, the opening of the Book of Mana! Don't you feel so glad I'm back!
Mithos: No!
Lea: Oh shut up!
Mithos: What are you going to do? Beat me again?
Lea: No I'll do worse. Unless you wanna do the disclaimer before things get painful.
Mithos: Oh yeah! What will you do?
Lea: Hay Kratos! Can you come here for a second.
Kratos: What? My God, Mithos is here!?
Lea: … -smooch-
Kratos: What the crap! You just kissed me?!
Mithos: Ack! My eyes! It burrrrrrrrns! Lea doesn't own Tales of Symphonia, but she dose own Laura and the idea behind her! There! NOW MAKE IT STOOOOOPPPPP!!
Kratos: -embarrisment-
Lea: -sweatdrop- Well, uh… lets get going!
"Kratos! What are you doing here?" Lloyd asked, drawing his swords, angry and in shock. Kratos replied by breaking his defense and placing his blade to Lloyds chin. The two looked at each other, not saying a word. Finally, Kratos returned his sword to his sheath. Lloyd wanted to talk with him, to straighten things out, but he doubted Kratos would listen. Lloyd didn't know what to think, after all, Kratos told him that he would watch over him in the shadows. Lloyd wanted to hate him, but somehow he couldn't find the heart. He didn't really hate anyone except Cruxis… and himself.
"I was looking for Laura. She escaped and I was sent to retrieve her." Kratos lied. "I would assume she would be with you. Is she?"
"Laura? I think she went to the library." Zelos said.
"ZELOS!!" Genis and Raine yelled.
"I see by their expressions that you're telling the truth. Thank you." Kratos replied, walking off.
"Why did you tell him that? Now he's going to go after her!" Lloyd said irritated.
"Word vomit. My bad… but relax. I'm sure the little cutie can handle herself." Zelos smiled.
"That's not the point." Lloyd snapped.
"Your right. The point is, we need to get our little angel cured." Zelos smiled. Lloyd looked at him with irritation then sighed knowing that he was right. Zelos continued inside. The rest of the group followed, not believing they were traveling with him. When they went in, Zelos asked them to wait at the entrance, and the group nodded in agreement. Lloyd stared at a set of dragon bones displayed and Raine went psycho with amazement for most of the time. After an hour of talking to scientists, Zelos told them they knew the cure. Surprised and overjoyed at Zelos's news, the group went inside a classroom where a scientist explained that the cruxis crystal that made Collette an angel was nothing more then an evolved exsphere.
"What now? We don't have a keycrest." Genis sighed. Lloyd suddenly remembered Collette's necklace. He made her necklace out of the same material used to make keycrests. Then he thought to himself. Maybe that's why I'm the only one who can get near her without her reacting… It's because of the necklace!
"Yes we do…" Lloyd said, checking to make sure he still had it. "Guys… I can make one, but no one can be in the same room, ok? It's a secrete dwarven art and all." Lloyd smirked, feeling useful for once. The rest of the group nodded and left the room. Lloyd looked at the beautiful golden necklace with the fake jewel. "I liked it, and I did my best, but Dad said it's less then 3-rate and I could do better. I've been afraid to give it to her, but I guess now's my best chance. I hope, at least, that a real jewel will boost its value." Lloyd sighed. He removed the fake jewel in the center and started to carve the charm."
--
Laura went through book after book, but still found nothing. She had gone through books for nearly an hour, than gave up. "You know, the group has probably forgotten about me by now. I better go find them." She sighed, taking one last look through the whole library. As she was walking out, a librarian stopped her.
"Young miss, were you… looking for something in specific?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm looking up the Wind Princess. Got any information?" She asked. The librarian sighed.
"We would normally say yes, but we don't. She has become a very popular topic."
"And why's that?" Laura asked him, slightly confused.
"Mana research. It was just summon spirits before, but we found by studying her methods, we can create complex mana based machines. There were many in the ancient war, and she seems to be the most famous developer in the old age." The old man replied. "That and the princess loves her stories as well. She has several of our most detailed volumes in her room"
"I see. Dammit, I was just there! Thanks anyway." Laura said, walking out the door empty handed and feeling irritated for missing the jackpot at the castle. She took out the Book of Mana and stared at it. "Kratos or not! I'm tired of waiting!" She yelled, about to open it, but despite her longing, she couldn't bring herself to open it. She sat on the side of the library and stared at it, waiting for the group to come back. Suddenly the thought came to her mind that bothered her the most. "Kratos…"
She looked at the book again and threw it into the wall. She walked over and picked it up again. Suddenly a shadow appeared over her, and she turned around. It was Kratos. She was speechless.
"Laura?" He muttered, and then caught himself from falling over. He lost his balance anyway and she was barely able to catch him before he hit the ground.
"Kratos! Kratos! What's wrong and what are you doing here? You look awful!" She said, very surprised.
"I'm fine." He said, healing himself.
"What… happened?" She asked him. He just looked away.
"Yggdrassil's treatment. What else?" He said. "I'll be fine." Laura watched him for a little while, worried, but after a few moments, he stood up.
"You know, you sure do have a way of scaring me… and making a scene." Laura sighed. Almost all of the scientists in the area were staring at them. He shot them an evil glare and they started to mind their own business. "So… um… what brings you here? I thought you would still be at the 'pillar of damnation.'" Laura muttered, hoping no one could catch on. A scientist suddenly appeared and started running down the street screaming. Kratos looked at him like he was crazy, and Laura couldn't help but laugh. All of the scientists had a look of horror and left to the main building. Within a few moments, the streets were empty. "Ok… where were we? Oh yes. Mithos's Tower."
"I take it you like renaming things." Kratos said in his usual harsh voice.
"Maybe." Laura smirked, but shook it off and put on her serious face. "Anyway, you shouldn't change the subject. Tell me, why are you here? I could have sworn there was no way Mithos would let you out. On top of that, you were barely standing. Your tough, but your not one to depend on your endurance, nor are you one to do reckless things without thinking them through."
"True. I wasn't supposed to leave either, but I had to get something." He said, accidentally dropping a jewel out of his hand. Laura picked it up
"Zircon?! Where on earth did you?… " Laura asked, taken back. Kratos folded his arms and looked at his feet.
"I happened to snatch it while Lloyd's group was making a ruckus, as you can see. I just borrowed a piece in all of the confusion. It was in the middle of a trashed room. I'm sure they won't miss it."
"Zircon are pretty powerful. Not as much as Opals or Diamonds, but they are significant and easy to use." She sighed. "Kratos… what are you planning?" Suddenly Laura caught a glimpse of Lloyd's group running by in the corner of her eye. She turned and barely saw them running, only Sheena was back and the Sage siblings were gone. They seemed to have completely forgotten about her. Laura started to run after them, but stopped. Laura turned around and looked at Kratos.
"They?…" Laura muttered.
"They're trying to save the Sage siblings for execution." Kratos said flatly. Laura shot him an angry glance and looked towards the exit of the city. The ground started to shake and Kratos almost lost his balance again. Laura then noticed the Tethe'allan Bridge lifting up. Oh great… Just wonderful… Well, at least I have a Rheaird." She said with a slight smirk. "I don't think I could fly the whole way with just my wings." She admitted.
"Then do you mind if I ride with you? Though… I'll probably need you to heal me first. You were always better at that type of thing." Kratos admitted. Laura nodded and started healing him.
"I don't mind." Laura said as she finished healing him. He kissed her forehead as a sign of gratitude. She turned red with embarrassment. "B…but don't do anything funny or I'll drop you." Laura stuttered, taking out her EC (Elemental Cargo) and taking out the Rheaird. Before Laura could get on, Kratos mounted first. "Hay!" Laura snapped.
"Trust me. I'll drive." Kratos said. Laura gave him a weird look. "Oh come on. It would be awkward for me to be the passenger anyway." Kratos smirked. Laura thought for a second.
"Oh all right! You did give it to me anyway. I just hope you're not a bad driver." She sighed and held on to his waist so she wouldn't fall off. Kratos started to fly it with great skill and yelled to her.
"You might want to hold on tighter then that, especially when we get over the ocean." Kratos told her. She thought he was just trying to get her closer to him, but he started going heavier on the gas. She almost lost her grip and fell backwards, but she managed and grabbed him tighter. "That's good!" He smirked. She was more irritated then surprised that he pulled that stunt. They started to fly over the ocean and the Rheaird started to shake.
"Um… Kratos. Why is the Rheaird…"
"Just trust me and hold on." Kratos cut in. She sighed and didn't say anything. She started looking around, but couldn't behind her eyes when she looked behind them. The ocean started to shake and a gigantic eel/dragon like creature emerged above the waves. Laura's eye's widened as she watched. Her hands started to sweat and she gripped him harder. The eel then charged at them and Kratos dodged it by doing a barrel roll. Laura would have easily fallen off if it wasn't for her tight grip. Kratos swung the machine left, right and strafing in all directions to avoid the beast, even flying upside down for a little bit. Finally they made if over the ocean.
"That was kinda fun." Laura admitted as they were flying over a beautiful meadow filled with flowers. She almost sneezed from the pollen.
"Then we should do this more often." Kratos smirked as he landed. "You can let go now." Kratos told her. Laura let go and gave him another angry look. "Oh come now. You said you enjoyed the ride." Laura turned bright pink.
"Ok. I did. You win." She said, not wanting to give up so easily. Kratos helped her off, though she really didn't need it.
"I think they're headed for Meltokio. Either way, I have to go find Yuan. That's who Mithos thinks I'm with."
"Do you know where he might be?" I asked, putting the Rheaird away and starting to head towards the capital city. Kratos walked by her side.
"Actually I know where he is. He's in some nice coffee shop in the aristocratic part of town drinking tea and eating crumpets. He's always done that since we've started Cruxis. We noticed Mithos was loosing it from the start, and he wanted to be alone. We didn't know what to do, so we decided to go out to eat as an excuse… even though we didn't need to eat anymore. I hadn't had tea and crumpets in a while so I suggested that. Yuan didn't even know what they were, let alone ever eat them. You see, Yuan was a half-elf so poor that he had no choice but become a thief to survive. When we found him, we don't know how he even survived that long. He was so exhausted and starving. He was trying to keep his little sister alive, but she ended up dying of starvation. To him, tea and crumpets would have been like God's food. You know, something he wouldn't have even dreamed to afford. You should have seen him. I think he almost broke out in tears." Kratos sighed. "And until I ran away and met Anna, we would go drink tea and eat crumpets every week. Sometimes I would get sick of it, but he never did."
"You two have always been good friends, haven't you?" Laura said.
"If we met under any other circumstance, we probably wouldn't have even gotten along. I wasn't aloud to have friends and no one, not even half elves, would even associate with Yuan, except for his dead sister. Mithos always had Martel, so we were kinda left out. We didn't like each other at first, but we ended up getting along for Martel's sake. And then, when Mira said that he would become like a wealthy aristocrat, all indifference seemed to go away. All of these years, we felt like we were two older brothers watching over our crazy, bratty younger brother. Yuan still has things worse then I do."
"Really?" Laura asked "How so?"
"Yuan was engaged to Martel. And now he has to watch her last wish be defiled as well as his best friend suffer at the hands of Mithos. He's been going against Mithos for some time, but he hasn't had any success. I just gave up after Anna, but he still fights. He's tired of all of this… I think we all are."
"I see." Laura said. It was quiet for a short while, but Kratos broke the silence.
"I see that you are wearing shorts and pants more often then dresses." Kratos said. "That and when I met you, you were so shy, and so afraid of me."
"It's been a while, hasn't it? But I guess I have. I didn't wasn't comfortable in pants or around men at all... Even if I did want to be a warrior, I was scared. I guess it was causes of Ellen and all of that stuff. But you really changed my life. You, Lloyd, and the rest of the group. I'm so glad I met you. I don't know where else I would be." She smiled. "You know, now I probably wouldn't be comfortable in a dress… or… without you…" Laura admitted, blushing a little. Kratos gave her one of his rare smiles. A guard suddenly stopped her and ruined the moment. Laura didn't even realize she was there! She looked at the familiar gate, and then turned to the guard who stopped her.
"Hay, weren't you in the chosen's group?" He asked.
"And if she was?" Kratos snapped.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord Kratos. It's just that if she was, I have a message to tell her from the chosen.
"I am. Please tell." Laura smiled sweetly.
"They said they were headed for Mount Fooji. They came hear first, but we couldn't let them in. Pope's orders and all. They wanted me to tell you the message if you came by."
"How do you know that it was me? For all you know, I could be some fortune hunter from across the sea."
"The chosen gave me a drawling. There's no mistaking it." The knight smiled, showing an ink picture of her, beautifully made and with a description at the bottom.
"Oh wow… he really went out of his way, didn't he. I don't know weather to be flattered or irritated at him. But I will say he has talent." Laura admitted, Kratos took the picture. "Well, I better go. It was nice seeing you again." She smiled. Kratos just nodded and turned towards the city. "What, I don't get a goodbye?!" Laura yelled. Kratos just turned around, smiled, and kissed her cheek. She turned red.
"Goodbye." He nodded and went into the city. Laura shook it off and took directions from the knight towards the mountain. When she finally arrived, she muttered to herself. "You know, I should have taken the Rheaird. It would have been much faster." She said, climbing. She touched her bag with the EC in it, and suddenly remembered the Book of Mana. "AGG!! How could I have forgotten! I'm so stupid. Stupid, stupid me! I guess I got so worried about him and his stupid Zircon, and the Rheaird, and… the kiss.." She muttered, turning red again. "…that I forgot." She then gritted her teeth with irritation. "I'm not going to forget next time though. Man, why can't I bring myself to just open the darn thing!"
Laura finally sighed and caught a glimpse of Collette. She climbed up the platform and walked over to the group. They were caught in a trap, except zombie Collette who was with Pronyma. On the other side of the platform was Yuan as well. Laura looked with slight shock "Well, what do you know. I didn't expect to see you all here." Laura stated Pronyma ignored her and touched Collette's new keycrest that was made out of the necklace Lloyd gave her. "Wait… isn't that…" Laura started.
"Let me go!" Collette yelled, returning to normal. Collette then accidentally tripped and turned off the device.
"That's our Collette alright!" Genis smiled. Lloyd ran over to her and hugged her with tears in his eye.
"Thank God you're cured." Lloyd said, ignoring the situation.
"I'm glad to!" Collette smiled.
"Wow, I was right! She is cuter when she's smiling!" Zelos smirked. Yuan then tried to knock Lloyd out while he was still hugging Collette, but Laura jumped between them and stopped him. She looked between the pair and pointed her diamond blade at Yuan.
"What's going on?" She snapped.
"I'm trying to get Lloyd. What doesn't it look like?" Yuan snapped back.
"I thought you would be in an aristocratic coffee shop drinking tea and eating crumpets." Laura admitted. Everyone looked at her almost about to laugh as if it were a joke or just stared at her. Yuan shot Collette and Lloyd back with his lightning waves started up the force field with magic so they couldn't escape again.
"Tea and Crumpets?… I take it you were talking to Kratos." Yuan asked irritated.
"Yeah. He was looking for you." Laura smiled. He sighed.
"Anyway, I'm taking Lloyd. I don't care about any of the others… ok, except for Raine… Man, you just had to go and spoil the mood, didn't you?" Yuan snapped.
"Your one to talk." Laura wafted her hand towards Collette and Lloyd.
"My goodness. I've never scene him act… so smart, smooth, and sharp. Is that really Yuan?" Pronyma asked surprised and somewhat trying to be seductive with her voice. Yuan and Laura just rolled their eyes.
"Yes, it's me whore. Now don't but into our conversation." Yuan snapped and turned back to Laura. "Anyway, Kratos was looking for me?"
"Yeah." Laura replied.
"Well, I better make this quick and meet up with him." Yuan replied.
"They're won't be a need for that… Yuan. Lord Yggdrassil summoned you." Kratos said, as he arrived. Yuan gave him a shocked look. Laura wasn't to much surprised after what already happened that day. Kratos and Yuan started talking when Laura looked back at the trapped group. Suddenly, she got an idea. She walked over to the switch and broke it! She yelled. "Run! Now!" The group looked at her for a second and started to run. Yuan and Pronyma tried to stop them, but Laura hit Pronyma in the gut with her sword. "Don't you dare." Laura snarled into her ear. She sheathed her sword and jumped back, pulling out the Book of Mana. She turned and saw the group looking back at her. "What are you waiting for!?" Laura yelled, but was barely able to dodge Pronyma who had recovered and was furious. Laura jumped back again to block the exit, and undid the latch on the book.
"Laura! Wait!" Yuan yelled. The book burst with energy and all of the ancient writing came off the pages. Laura started floating in thin air and started glowing several colors with a painful, blank expression. The book's pages were glowing and flipping as all of the words dispersing and entering her. Pronyma tried to run up to her, but Kratos hit her with his sword hilt before she got to close. Kratos put his sword back in its scabbard and Yuan just watched. After a few moments, the magic was gone, and Laura collapsed. The book also fell to the ground. Yuan ran and grabbed the book while Kratos ran to her.
"This book… it's empty. All of the words are gone." Yuan said shocked.
"Give it here!" Kratos yelled. Yuan nodded and tossed it to him. Kratos burned it with his fire sword and let the ashes fly in the wind. "Yuan… this didn't happen…" Kratos said seriously.
"I understand… but she's still unconscious. We both have to report to Mithos and Pronyma…" Yuan sighed.
"Kra… Kratos…" Laura blinked. "I…" Kratos watched her and started to get flashbacks of Anna. He started to shake. "Kratos… what's wrong? I'm alive, right?" Laura barely smiled. "Yuan's here too… Kratos, remind me to hit you later." Laura smiled. "Why didn't you tell me sooner… that the seraphim I loved was you?"
"…Don't scare me like that…" Kratos said, hugging her.
"Heh… like your one to talk. I'm sorry... I was stupid 4000 years ago. I'm sure we all were. My body's still in shock. I can stand up but I wouldn't be able to move very much for the next hour. I hope it's not a problem."
"It might be time wise…" Yuan sighed.
"I see Yuan's here too. I told you so. You turned out to be quite a gentleman. And it seems Kratos's soul hasn't been frozen, thanks to Anna and Lloyd. That's good. Though, I will have to kick that little brat's ass when I get back there." She smiled with a tired, almost dying expression. "Though, I do believe Lloyd would be able to do it better then I…"
"Lloyd?!" Yuan and Kratos said together, then looked at each other.
"Oh nothing. It's just a piece of Zircon after all." She smiled. Yuan looked at Kratos confused. "You know, I haven't had any crumpets in a while. I'd say 4000 years at least."
Yuan's face beamed. "That sounds good to me. We could afford one day of hooky. Don't you agree?" Yuan smirked. "We'll just say it was urgent business with… the Rheairds. Yeah! That will work."
"No hooky. We're in enough trouble as it is. We don't need Mithos thinking we were leaking information or even worse… the truth of what we have been doing" Kratos sighed. "And what about Pronyma anyway?"
"I'll put her in the forest somewhere between here and the Tower of Salvation, stick a dead bird next to her somewhere and break some branches above her. This was all a crazy dream." Yuan said.
"I'll have to bring her to Ozette on my way to the tower." Kratos sighed. "It's the closest place that Mithos hates to go to. Meet me there and we'll go together. If anyone asks why we were late, why we were on Mount Fooji, or where is Pronyma, the story is we located the stolen Rheairds this morning, went for tea and crumpets, and lost track of the time. We didn't see Pronyma."
"You just have to be the responsible one, don't you. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you like working for Mithos. But you know, we've gotten to good at this." Yuan sighed.
"Perhaps we have gotten to good… But say one more thing about working for Mithos and your dead." Kratos snapped. Yuan cringed. Kratos held Laura tightly, pulled out his wings and flew off. Yuan watched him with a worried look on his face. He then turned his head to Pronyma.
"There's always the fast way to get this done." Yuan sighed and grabbed her. He flew around until he saw a monster bird, killed it with electricity, and dropped her right behind it. "I might need to check on her afterwards, but… she'll have the bruises, twigs, and everything else." Yuan smirked as he flew down. Pronyma was unfortunately alive and still unconscious. "It looks like that's that." Yuan sighed and flew off towards Ozette.
--
"What now?" Lloyd asked as they arrived at Meltokio. "I mean, we have to go across the bridge to bring Presea home, we have no Rheairds, and we can't get in Meltokio. What now?"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about a thing. I know exactly what to do." Zelos smirked.
"Really?" Lloyd asked astonished.
"Yes. We need to go into Meltokio and get an EC. I know a secrete way in I used to sneak in and out of the city at night. After all the gates close at night."
"That's good. But um… Zelos… why would you need to sneak out of the city?"
"It's a secrete. Adults do it all the time!" Zelos smirked.
"Secrete?" Collette said confused and looked at Lloyd. Lloyd shrugged.
"You mean you don't know? Well then Collette, I'll be happy to show you!" Zelos smiled. Collette was about to agree when suddenly Sheena and Raine stepped in.
"Oh no you don't!" Sheena snapped.
"Wait. Raine an adult! Do you know what it is?" Collette asked.
"Well, I haven't actually done it before but I know what he's talking about. None of you need to worry about that for another couple of years." Raine said embarrassed.
"Aww" Zelos sighed. Sheena slapped him. Lloyd and Collette looked confused and Genis just shook his head.
"Anyway… about the secrete passage?" Raine asked.
"Through the sewers. All of the doors should be unlocked." Zelos assured them. They agreed and went through the sewers. Genis complained how nasty it was, filled with rats and garbage. When the group was almost to the exit, several prisoners came up to kill them. They were defeated easily, but a few seconds later, another one showed up. Before he could attack, he stopped and stared at Presea
"A… Alicia?" He said, taken aback. The group looked confused.
"Oh, I forgot she was here with us." Lloyd admitted.
"How could you forget!" Genis asked, hurt.
"She's… so…" Lloyd muttered, trying not to hurt his feelings.
"Quiet!" Zelos finished.
"Yeah!" Lloyd said. Then they turned to the convict, but he was gone. "What the? Where did he go?"
"Well, he left. That's the important thing. Now lets get going!" Zelos smiled. "We don't wanna let our beautiful Laura's sacrifice go to waste.
"She can handle herself." Sheena said.
"And besides, Kratos is quite taken with her. I'm sure he won't let her get hurt" Raine said before everyone got worried.
"That's what I mean. Two guys and two girls alone on a mountain. You gotta feel a little sorry for her."
"ZELOS!!" Raine and Sheena yelled disgusted.
"He has a point. All three of them are pretty strong." Lloyd sighed.
"I was thinking 2 on 1." Zelos admitted. Sheena hit him.
"Did I miss something?" Lloyd asked.
"Don't worry about it." Raine said. "It's about the same topic as earlier."
"Oh… well…" Lloyd started but Sheena and Raine cut him off with glares. Timidly, Lloyd continued on.
--
"Are you sure she'll be safe?" Yuan asked.
"Quite sure. Where else can she go anyway? She started getting weaker on the flight and ended up passing out. I left a not and I'm locking her inside." Kratos explained.
"To keep her in or others out?" Yuan asked.
"Both, I would imagine. Now lets go." Kratos said. Yuan shrugged and followed.
"Kratos. Are you ok? I mean…" Yuan started
"I'm fine." Kratos cut in.
"I mean, first Martel's and Mira's deaths, then Anna, then finding out your son's alive and thinks you're a traitor, then the whole Laura thing. I mean, come on Kratos. Did you really have to do that?" Yuan asked.
"You started it." Kratos said.
"You deserved it!" Yuan snapped. "Stop being such a fatalist. There is more then that in this world! And you deserve better. I mean, seriously, leave again. Give up on Mithos! Fight back!"
"I lost the will to fight back… Ever sense Anna died… She deserved so much better." Kratos replied.
"Do you think for a second that's how she felt? Do you think she wanted you to end up suffering at Mithos's hand all of the rest your life?!"
"No… but I'm too old and tired… to keep running away… I made a big mistake Yuan… and I can't bring her back." Kratos said. Yuan was silent the rest of the trip. When they finally arrived, Yuan sighed and fixed his cape. Kratos watched him, and then led him in silently. They started hearing Mithos laughing like mad, and he wasn't in his throne room or meeting room. Sweat drops appeared on their faces.
"He's… doing it again… probably with Ramiel…" Yuan said disgusted, covering his mouth and turning slightly green at the thought.
"You know, hooky sounds really good right about now…" Kratos admitted, feeling sick.
"Yeah… You get Laura… I'd do the letter. Lets meet in Meltokio." Yuan said with a fast pace.
"Tea and Crumpets?" Kratos asked.
"Tea and Crumpets." Yuan replied.
Lea: There! Aren't you happy! It's so wonderful being back! Wohoo! More torture for Tales of Symphonia characters!
Yuan: Um… What happened? I think Mithos is going into shock…
Kratos: DON'T ASK!! –death glare-
Yuan: Um… ok? Sorry I missed it?
Lea: Well, anyway. Thanks for reading. Please review! We love to hear from you!
