Sheena: Hello, Everyone I am writing a Love Sanctuary Fiction of Sheelos. It's called 'Never Too Late for Love'.

Zelos: Yeah, That's Cool.

Genis: I think I am going to like this.

Zelos: What are you doing here, Twerp?

Sheena: Yeah I didn't invite you, Genis. That means Leave Now!

Genis: Going! (Leaves in a hurry)

David the Writer: My, oh my. This is a handful.

Sheena: Hello, DtW. This fiction needs a disclaimer.

Zelos: I'll do it. All TOS and TOS DOTNW Characters Namco Tales.

Sheena: You like that Copyright Symbol DtW found, don't you Zelos?

Zelos: You guess that right!

Sheena: Anyway... Thanks for the disclaimer, Zelos. Background song is Never Too Late by Three Days Grace. Now on with the story

Never Too Late for Love

Zelos yells towards Sheena "Oh, come on Sheena. You got to learn to forgive and forget."

Sheena yells back at Zelos "You lied to us about what you were doing in the Tower of Salvation. I will never forgive you."

Sheena runs away from Zelos. He was once again asking her to forgive him for betraying them at the Tower of Salvation. Sheena couldn't figure out why he wants her to forgive him. She just said she never will. The question remained for her on why did he do all of that lying just to help them.

Sheena growls and yells "Oh the nerve of that pervert! Why does he keep asking me to forgive him?"

Marta walks over and says "What are you going on about, Sheena?"

Sheena was surprised to see Marta. Then Emil walked over and Sheena was shocked. She thought she was seeing a ghost.

Sheena says "Emil, how are you here?"

Emil says "Ratatosk gave the rest of what would have been Aster's Life."

Sheena says "Why did he do that?"

Marta says "Emil, please explain that to me as well."

Emil says "I guess you can thank Richter for that. He begged to Ratatosk to give me a chance at life for trying to right the wrong that was Ratatosk's and not mine. Tenebrae and Aqua helped him out. Finally, his own heart told him that he could give this life to me to right the wrong of taking Aster's Life. Richter did it because it was what Aster would have wanted. Ratatosk did it to right his wrong. The centurions did in the name of Aster and me. Richter gave his body to Ratatosk and used his own life-force as the energy. That wouldn't have worked with me because my body was dead. Verius was the one who made it all possible."

Sheena says "Well, Corrine did a good job then."

Emil says "Did you know that I can still speak with Ratatosk's help?"

Sheena and Marta say "No, I didn't."

Ratatosk says "Well, Now you do. Hey, Sheena. I got to tell you something about the past of Zelos."

Sheena says "What might that be?"

Ratatosk says "You don't know the full story. You should read Zelos' Point of View story on how everything happened to the end of Cruxis. Remember those books?"

Sheena says "Why should I do that?"

Ratatosk says "Because you'll lose his own innocent life because of it if you don't. Also, Verius told me that Zelos had a effect on him becoming his current form as well and it's because of this reason."

Sheena says "Alright then. Ratatosk, you win. I'll go read it."

Sheena heads to the Meltioko Library where he asks for the Book called 'Zelos' Biography up to the End of Cruxis' which is the book Ratatosk was talking about. When Sheena read it, she found out more and more about Zelos. This included: Zelos fell in love with her as soon as he met her, Zelos' Mother was murdered by Seles' Mother, Zelos went through the angel conversion process (which left only his emotion of love left), and that he regretted betraying the group at The Tower of Salvation because he still did love her. She learned that Zelos hopes Sheena can eventually forgive him so that he could tell him that he loves her and maybe have her return it so that he'll not only get his soul back but not turn into a lifeless angel being.

Sheena says "What? Is that why he wants me to forgive him? He wants my love for him to save him and so he can go back to his old self. I love his old self."

Then she read that she had until midnight tonight to forgive, let him tell him that he loves her, and tell him that she loves him. She runs towards Zelos' Mansion. At the mansion, she knocks on the door. Sebastian answers the door.

Sebastian says "Well, if it isn't Miss Sheena. You come to see Master Zelos. This might just his final hours if you didn't know."

Sheena says "I know and that's what I wish to talk to him about."

Sebastian says "Then Zelos is his bedroom upstairs."

Sheena goes into the door and heads towards Zelos' Bedroom.

On the way there, Sheena thinks "It had to be his bedroom, didn't it?"

Sheena opens the door to find Zelos laying on his bed waiting for the time to come. Then she sees the dagger in his hands. He wishes to stop that from happening.

Sheena says "Zelos, look over here."

Zelos says in a very monotone-like voice "Well, It's Sheena. What brings you here?"

Sheena says "I wish to talk to you before you vanish from my life."

Zelos says in the same voice "So now you wish to talk to me? What do you plan on telling me?"

Sheena says "First I got to tell you the truth. I forgave you for what you did at the Tower of Salvation very long ago. To tell the truth, it was soon after you were willing to sacrifice yourself for The Princess. You were willing to give up your own life to save the life of The Princess. That showed me that you weren't at all what I always thought you were."

Zelos says in a increasing tone "So you didn't want to raise my ego anymore than it already was, right? Well, that's good because I have really wanted to tell you that I only truly love you, Sheena. I've been truly in love with you since we first met."

Sheena watched as his tone began to rise. When he finished, she decide to make the final part come true. She moved very close to him and hugged him. Zelos was shocked by this action.

The shock is so much that his tone raised a lot when he says "What are you doing, Sheena?"

It was almost back to normal.

Then to finish it, she says "I truly love you as well, Zelos."

She then proved it with a kiss. Zelos couldn't believe it. Sheena was kissing him and that's when he hugged and kissed back to her. She was telling the truth to his eyes and when they seperated, he saw the smile she remember from their childhood.

Zelos says in his normal voice "Sheena, you truly are in love with me. How long have you been in love with me?"

Sheena says "I have truly been in love since 2 months after we first met. So our timing together was just right."

Lloyd knocks on the door and says "Who is in there with Zelos? He just truly wishes to die. Wait, his voice is normal again!"

Everyone in the whole mansion was downstairs eating and they all came upstairs to push the door open and see Sheena and Zelos hugging.

Raine says "Sheena, what are you doing with Zelos?"

Regal says "I bet she is giving him his last beating from her. An enjoyable one at that."

Ratatosk's voice comes from Emil saying "No, she is saving him from dying. She and Zelos just admitted their true feelings for each other. Their feelings of love were hidden among all the arguments. Verius knew that from the very start of seeing it and knew that hidden love helped form him."

Sheena says "Correct, Ratatosk. I took your advice and it told me everything."

Zelos says "I'm actually happy for once in my life since my childhood. Before, all I felt was false happiness. Now, I feel true happiness."

Colette says "You mind explaining to us what you mean?"

Then everyone learned how Zelos' life truly went through his eyes. After 1 year of being with him, Sheena has found that using The Books of Heroes as a item for everyone to read has inspired many great things. Sheena has dedicated her life to keeping this world safe and inspired by trying to find more and more Tales of many different Heroes for people to learn from and by battling along Zelos' Side on the field of battle.

The End...

Sheena: That tells my story in this part of that Aselia. How did you like it?"

Zelos: It's perfect. The greatest story that I have heard you write.

Sheena: You think so? Wait, I have written very little, Zelos.

Zelos: You got to count all the stories you written that aren't on this site.

Sheena: True, you got a point.

David the Writer: 100 gald is the worth of this fiction. That is how epic it is.

Sheena: Now that tells me the goodness of it. What did you all think?
