Summary Thingermajigger: While visiting a House of Guidance in Tethe'Alla Zelos asks Shihna about a present he gave her before she went to assasinate Collet.

All names are spelt the way they originally are in the Japanese version. No complaints allowed! XD

Shihna leaned on a fence and enjoyed the wind that was gently blowing. They were staying at a House of Guidance for the day. She sighed. "It's refreshing, isn't it?" Shihna jumped and looked to her right. Nothing was there so she looked to her left. "Zelos! How long have you been here?!"

"I've been here a while now, hunny." He laughed, like he always did. "Something on your mind?" Why did he always know what she was thinking? "Worried about your weight or something?"

"What?! Of course not!" Was he hinting that she was fat or something? She glared at the idiot Chosen. He laughed. "Well? What is it?" Shihna looked away from Zelos. "I remember that I originally came after Lloyd and the others to kill them and now I'm helping them...it feels kinda weird."

"Heh. At least you didn't betray them," Zelos said. "You didn't exactly start on the right foot with the others either, eh?" Shihna looked Zelos with her head slightly tilted sideways. Zelos chose to ignore Shihna's question. "Staring at my sexiness again, hunny?"

"E-eh?! It's not like that!!" Shihna's face turned a bright shade of red. "Don't deny it! You can't resist me either, my voluptuous hunny!" He winked at her. "I told you that it isn't it!" She whacked him on the head. "And what's with that wink?!" Zelos laughed again. "It's not funny!"

"Okay, okay." Zelos managed to stop his laughter. "Hey, Shihna. You remember that present I gave you before you went to Sylvarant?" he asked suddenly. "Eh? Oh...yeah. Of course I remember it. You gave me a ribbon. Why'd you give me a thing like that anyways?"

"Don't you think it was because I wanted to touch your hair?" Zelos asked, playfully. Of course he wasn't being serious, but Shihna didn't know that. "You gave me it because of what?!" She prepared to smack him on the head again, but Zelos caught her wrist. "I was just kidding! I seriously didn't know what to get you and I wanted it to be something that wouldn't be hard to carry around!"

"But why a ribbon?!" Shihna demanded. "Well, I wanted to get you something nobody would really want to steal," Zelos replied. "I would be so sad if it got stolen from you or you lost it." He made one of those innocent children faces that disgusted Shihna. "What kind of a person do you think I am?! Nobody would be able to steal from me!" Zelos smiled and held up Corrine's bell. "I stole this from you just now." Shihna stared at the bell and then at Zelos' face. "Give me that!" She reached for the bell. Zelos quickly snatched his hand away. "Give me a kiss and I'll consider." Zelos winked and ran away with the bell. "Come back here!" Shihna started chasing after the red-haired Chosen. She chased him around in circles. "Give that back!"

"Ha ha! No way!" Zelos was enjoying the whole chase. "Argh!" Shihna jumped on him and tackled him to the ground. "Give it back!" Zelos continued laughing. "Seriously!"

"There's no way I'm giving it to you now. You should check out the sexy position we're in right now," Zelos said, still laughing. Shihna stopped her yelling. She was right on top of Zelos and had his arms pinned down. Oh my God. What the hell am I doing?! More thoughts ran through her head. "I'll stop playing with you now, hunny. Really, the look on your face is starting to scare me!" He somehow managed to unpin his arm and tuck Corrine's bell into Shihna's sash. Shihna immediately got off of Zelos. She brushed herself off. If only she could brush off the redness of her face...

"The reason why I bought that ribbon was because I thought it would make you annoyed and I wanted you to remember it so you could yell at me when you came back and demand a better present," Zelos said, standing up. "You really like answering questions at random times don't you?" Shihna narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but sound irritated. "Heh heh. Well, don't you want a better present?" Zelos asked, ignoring Shihna's irritated tone. "Of course I do! Anything would be better than that ribbon!"

"So you really want another present! What would you like, hunny? Or would you like a kiss instead?" Zelos moved closer to Shihna and was awarded with a slap in the face. "Ow! Ow! Not the face!" He rubbed the reddened spot on his cheek. "Okay, okay. What do you want, then?"

"You can figure that out yourself!" Shihna stuck her tongue out at Zelos and headed back into the House of Guidance. Zelos held back a sigh. "Think of one yourself, huh?..." He twirled a lock of his hair around his fingers. "Did she even keep the present I gave her the first time?..."

As Shihna ran up the stairs in the little church she reached into her sash and pulled out a light blue ribbon that was folded and appeared to be brand new. She smiled. I've only had this in my hair once...just that one time when he tied it...

SakuMeiMei Says: So Shihna had kept the ribbon the whole time! Fluff, fluff, sugar sprinkles! This chapter was so...fluffy and sweet. Usually I don't go for that kind of thing, but this chapter ended up that way. I like it this way though. I'm pretty sure this chapter will look better in my doujinshi than in this format. XD Yes, 1000 Wishes is going to be a doujinshi too. But it won't be 1000 chapters long. That would kill me. I'm pretty sure quite a bit of people would want that, but I still want to live to see things I really want to see and to meet people I really want to meet. (Like Tanemura Arina, who I will forever love and adore because she's my idol. n.n;;)

This will be the last chapter for a bit since school is starting. So at most I will be able to do one fanfic a week. So I say sorry ahead of time just in case if I take too long to update
