"It's a nice day today, isn't it?" Shihna asked, looking up at the clear, blue sky which only had one or two clouds in it. "Shihna, you're starting to talk like an ooolllddd wooommmannn!" Zelos pointed out. "What was that?!" Shihna smacked him on the head. "Those two never change, eh?" Lloyd asked, sweatdropping. "Nope," Collet and Genius replied at the same time. "Hey, you two. We came here to have fun...not to beat each other up." More like...Shihna was the one beating Zelos up.
The party actually wanted to have fun in Altamira for a day since they hadn't seen each other in a while, but Proffesor Sage, Regal and Presea said they were busy so only the five of them ended up going, even though Regal and Presea would probably be in Altamira anyways. "The map says that there's a new event!" Collet said, pointing at a spot on the big bulletin board. "It says it's a haunted house...or something." Lloyd looked over Collet's shoulder. "It sounds fun! Let's go!" Zelos brushed himself off. "Sounds good. Let's go." Shihna hesitated. A haunted house?... "I'll pass," Genius said. "Eh?...Are you scared, Genius?" Zelos hovered over the little half-elf. "Nah, I just wanna go on the roller coaster," Genius said, with an annoyed expression on his face. "I'll go with you, Genius!" Collet said. They ran off towards the rollercoaster line. "Well, that leaves us three, huh?" Zelos pushed Shihna towards Lloyd. "Here's your chance." Shihna turned around and looked at Zelos. "My chance for what?..." Zelos placed his hand on Shihna's head. "You and Lloyd." Shihna's face reddened. "What? I don't like Lloyd like tha-" "Yeah, yeah."
Still...as he watched them walk into the haunted house together...was this jealousy? Zelos smirked. No way... He was the great, sexy ex-Chosen, Zelos Wilder, right? There's no way he would be jealous of Shihna walking off with another guy. Right?...He stepped inside.

Shihna shivered. I really don't like this place... The room was barely lit enough for her to see where she was going. "It's kinda...creepy isn't it?" Lloyd nodded. "Yeah..." Suddenly, the lights totally went out. "Eh?!" Shihna looked around. It was pitch black. "Lloyd?...Where are you?" She stepped backwards and crashed into something. "Eeeeeyyahh!"
"Shihna?..." That voice. "Z-Zelos?" The lights turned back on. It was really Zelos. "What happened to Lloyd?" he asked. "Eh?" Shihna turned around. Lloyd had dissapeared. "He was still here before the lights went out..." Zelos sighed. "We'll just go looking for him after we get out of here." Shihna nodded. "The sooner we get out of here the better..." They started walking down the hall. "Are you scared?" "W-what are you saying? There's no way I would be scared of a silly thing like thi-" At that moment a white thing came flying by, howling something. Shihna shrieked and grabbed onto Zelos' arm. Zelos laughed. "I didn't think Shihna would be scared of something like this." Shihna buried her face in Zelos' arm. "Is there something wrong with it?" Zelos patted Shihna on the head with his free arm. "Am I going to have to carry you out of here?" Shihna shook her head. "N-no...I'll be fine." She let go of his arm. "Really?" Zelos asked, his eyebrows raised. "Really..."
They continued walking. "You could've been clinging to Lloyd just now," Zelos said. "What's with you and sticking me and Lloyd together?" Shihna demanded. "He likes Collet!" Zelos sighed. "But you like Lloyd too, don't you?" Shihna opened her mouth to say something, but nothing would come out. Did she like Lloyd?...She did. But did she like Lloyd because she wanted to stop herself from liking someone else? A certain someone else who was right next to her right now? "If you truly like Lloyd, take your chances." Shihna stopped walking. "Zelos, do you have someone you like?..."
"Hmm?...Oh. She's beyond my reach now. There's no point in chasing after her any more," Zelos replied, taking care not to reveal any of his feelings. "Hurry up, Shihna. I'll leave you behind," he said, cheerfully. "E-eh?" Shihna ran to catch up to him. There was no way that he would leave her behind here. "Wait!" Zelos turned around. "Hmm? You're scared that I'm going to leave you behind?"
"Don't leave me behind, you idiot!" She almost caught up to him, but she tripped on something. "Oomph." Zelos managed to catch her. "Careful there, my voluptuous hunny." Shihna grumbled about something that Zelos couldn't make out. It sounded like "You idiot. I'm going to kill you when we get out of here", but he wasn't really sure. "Come on, my clumsy hunny." He smiled and took hold of her hand. "Uhh...yeah." Shihna struggled to keep up to Zelos' pace. How come he always knows what I'm thinking and I'm always clueless about what he's thinking?
Finally, they reached the exit. "Well...that wasn't too bad now was it?" Zelos asked. Shihna pulled her hand away from Zelos'. "T-thanks."
"Hey...isn't that Lloyd?" Zelos pointed at something that was red and had a lot of buttons. "Hey! Lloyd!" The kid in red turned around. "Zelos! Shihna! I was looking all over for you guys!" Zelos sweatdropped. "And we were looking for you...What kind of a man are you? Leaving a girl alone like that..." Lloyd sweatdropped. "Uhh..." Genius and Collet came back from the rollercoaster. "Oh well...should we go get something to eat? We're all back." "Sure..." Lloyd replied, getting the feeling that Zelos was actually angry about something. "Did something weird happen?" Genius whispered to Shihna. "Zelos is acting all weird..." Shihna shrugged. She watched Zelos walking away. Beyond your reach, huh?...
If there's really someone you like...then why don't you take your chances?
SakuMeiMei Says: She says that she's hungry...really hungry. So she should eat, but she really loves her readers so she's going to finish her fanfiction first. And answer her reviews. Yush. Her reviews. Yer so lucky.
Euvany- Thanks for being the first one to review my stuff. I lurve you! XD And thanks for pointing out my weird spelling mistake too...
PreseaGrrL- Uhmm...Chapter 6...the italics would be...who knows? Really. I don't know...it could be either of them or both of them. A lot of the time I like leaving random phrases at the end of chapters for the readers to look at and wonder about. (This is common in my mangas too. XD) Thanks for reviewing!
MoonLitInuko- Err...I'll try to end my oneshots better...but it's so hard...because I keep on thinking about my doujinshi when I write and ending them in weird ways make them perfectly fine or something. (That just sounded really weird.) But I'll continue trying my hardest! XD And thank you for giving me fanart. It makes me so happy! Really...the next day when I went to school I was hyper. (It's a rare occurence...it basically never happens.) So I freaked my friends out. Thanks for everything! Keh keh keh...
Midnight Silver Okami17- Keh heh. Thanks for reviewing! And yush...that scene from that place in that place during that scene where this happens right? XD (I know what you're talking about...I'm just attempting to confuse myself and everybody else, but failing horribly.) And I shall "Go! Go! Power up! SakuMeiMei Genki Genius Energy!" my way up to the 1000th oneshot. And I'll try my hardest to actually make oneshots that I like. XD
Maxmagnus20019- Thanks for reviewing!! And thanks for the support too! XD
whiterose2406- Yush, pillow fights are really fun. (Which exactly why my friends say I'm dangerous...) Yeah...there's really no Sheelos love nowadays. It's like..."WHERE HAVE ALL THE FANS GONE?!" That kind of feeling. So we have to leave it up to ourselves to keep it alive. XD Good luck on your fanfiction too! (I read it. XD)
And now...I shall actually talk about the chapter. It was a haunted house. Not really...Despite what you might think though, I'm not pairing Collet and Genius together. I'm seriously hoping nobody was thinking that when they ran of to the rollercoaster together. They're just friends! XD I'm a Colloyd fan! But of course...Colloyd can't beat my very own Zeloshi. Luff luff! Zeloshi forever! The ending was...crappy as usual. Guuuhh...I'm hungry. That's why the ending was even worse than usual. I'm HUNGRY! So I'm gonna go eat...
But I'm not done talking about the chapter yet so I'll finish that up really fast. Shihna was acting un-Shihnalike again, eh? Oh well...I'll try to do better next time. XD Zelos was a bit...strange too.
