A/N: So, the whole thing about Universa begins
to settle, sort of, and new things arise. I’m sure Dialmond won’t make it for
the Case, now. And I love it how Lloyd usually gets caught up with her more than
he thinks. I thought Dialmond’s list of short things was very funny. She though
Lloyd was…oh well. But now, we’ve finally gone back to the lands of old, and I’m
sure the day will be passing by quickly. See below for a crappy reference to my
pen name.
Chapter 32: Making
it Work
Light was gone from the world and Sheena was
confused. Turning to Crimsonia, she asked, “Why is it night? That whole warp
felt like only two minutes or something…”
“I am sorry…I am skilled with it, but I forgot
to put the interval of time in. If only it could time could be halted
somehow…but oh well. At least we are--”
Crimsonia was cut off by the work of the
Redjewels. Apparently, when people were conversing as they hit ground. The
sisters had gotten to work on the house. Already was another room and the
beginning to three others.
“We’ve decided to let the La Hearts stay with
us.” Seles stated.
“We’re even going to work on our rooms once the
work is done! I’m so awake now!” Rubyi smiled and then hammered a nail into some
wood.
“I want to go back to sleep.” Crimsonia
half-laughed, half-stated, “It would be nice for me to get some beauty sleep now
and then.”
“I’m up for that right around now, too…” Sheena
stretched, “Unless you want us to help…”
“No, it’s fine. We’re enemies; we shouldn’t even
be speaking to each other unless it’s insults.” Seles cleared her throat.
“We’ve got enough help anyway…” Embre said, “And
we’ll have even more if Asshole pitches in.” She threw a very dark look at
Universa as Flaren quietly guided the cussing sister away from the crowd.
“She’s really mad at him…” Seles mumbled.
“Huh?” Sheena asked.
“Nothing.” Seles shook her head, “Now, go.
You’ve got a place to sleep. I suggest you do so.”
“Okay…” Sheena walked to her room along with
Crimsonia.
“I hope all of this gets resolved soon.”
Crimsonia looked at the starry sky.
“The case? Yeah.” Sheena also gave a lance to
the sparkling spheres/
“Oh ,yes, that too…” Crimsonia kept walking,
Sheena following.
………………………………............................................................................................................................
“No! She can’t be! She can’t be…No! Ahhhhhhh!”
Dialmond woke up screaming.
Immediately, Lloyd rushed in, swords ready.
Dialmond blushed for a bit, saying nothing. Lloyd set his swords back in his
sheathes, “What’s wrong?”
“Bad dream…” Dialmond looked away from him. Oh
shit. A tear.
“It was more than that, Dialmond. You were screaming.” Lloyd put a hand o
her face. She tried to hold back the tears. A moment that haunted her, a past
that scarred her. The death of her mother. A thing to try to flee from, but at
the same time unable to run. Dialmond looked at the man. Sweet, thoughtful,
protective, strong…he was perfect for her. And she didn’t realize it, but she
was getting closer to him. And he was also moving towards. Their lips set the
passion aflame, but with much more a spark than usual, for some reason…They hit
the wall and kissed. They hit a desk and kissed. They hit the window (and almost
broke it) and kissed. They were all over each other, not caring who saw and who
heard. Lloyd found himself and Dialmond on the small bed shortly after the
collision into the window. Lloyd, on top of her moved for a second and she drew
him in. They both wanted something more, but…
“We can’t.”
“It is much too dirty, Lloyd. I would love to, but we know…”
“Everything…it’s…”
“Too much. It is like our love…”
“Is forbidden.”
“Forbidden. That would be the word I would use.
Yes…forbidden.”
“But I want to be with you Dialmond. I need
you. When I’m with Colette, I think there’s something there too, but when I’m
with you, I…”
“She saw you first. She got you first. I had to
come in and ruin it.”
“No, Dialmond. You’ve saved me so many times…”
“But you. You saved the world! You saved so many
people…”
“I would give them all up just to be with you…”
It was at this moment Dialmond broke through the
glass that was her ignorance. Lloyd loved her. She had heard people say he
wouldn’t choose the world over Colette, but at this moment, why was he…she
embraced him, “Lloyd…oh, Lloyd…”
He sat there, returning. He loved Colette as
well--thank Martel she was asleep--but Dialmond, she was something more. He
didn’t want to hurt Colette, but…he tried to ignore it for so long. He loved
Dialmond. But he loved Colette as well. Thing didn’t work out, and they almost
never do. But screw it. Lloyd could choose for himself. And at this moment, he
wanted Dialmond. And at this moment, the kiss they were sharing mattered. The
feeling of just being there--NEXT to that person!--mattered! The look, the
feel--everything!--it all mattered so much. The flame that burned spread
everywhere. Love heated up the lovers’ hearts, and their passion as well. So
much they needed each other, so forbidden was that love which came to them. But
they would,--and dammit!--they could fight it. Fight the pain, the things that
get in your way, to go all out, to not care what happened next. That--damn
it all!--that was love. And nobody could take it away. Although, it’s not like
remorse didn’t reel its head into the fray after they were done. Dialmond told
how they couldn’t, and Lloyd agreed. They were talking, yelling, and even crying
very loudly. Kratos came into the room.
………………………………............................................................................................................................
It’s not like she really could sleep. But
Crimsonia, whom everybody thought to be the polite sweet modest girl, she could
snore! Sheena laughed at this, but continued to look at the stars. It’s not like
it was fair…she liked Universa, but her extent of those feelings only stretched
so far. She just…didn’t love him. For a minute, Sheena was distracted by
Crimsonia, who suddenly threw a pillow across the room and said, “No, not the
oven mitts. The lime…the lime…” The female just gave her an odd look and
continued her thoughts. She caught a glance of him. Apparently, not dealing with
Raise before hand came back and bit him in the ass. Sheena saw the Summon Spirit
of the skies smack him, and walk away. Universa sighed again and looked at the
sky. He then saw Sheena staring at him through the window. Universa had probably
just broken up with Raise, or vice versa, in the stretching road. The Summon of
Spirit wanted to approach the woman, but restrained himself. And Sheena wanted
to be there for him, but she couldn’t.
“Universa…” Sheena watched as the Summon Spirit
left. Was it her fault? She didn’t want things to turn out this way…but--
“Damn it, not the lemon! Lime! Lime! LIME!”
Crimsonia slept-attacked Sheena with an oncoming projectile (a pillow) and then
settled herself back in. Sola walked in the room shortly after this, so the
female ninja pretended to be asleep. The Solar Summon Spirit looked at the
closed-eyed Sheena, who let out a fake snore. Sola chuckled and then kissed
Crimsonia on the forehead. She tried to grab him in, but he shook his head and
disappeared. Sheena was a bit envious, just to say. She couldn’t believe she
actually wanted Zelos with her; a while ago she would have smacked
herself for even thinking it. But now…now she wanted him to be there. He was
hard to live without. Sheena sighed and stared at the moon, and she wasn’t the
only one…
………………………………............................................................................................................................
Astra took her glance away from the luminous
moon and sighed. She and Efil were going to meet again, right? The Summon
Spirit of the Stars got bored and began to mess with the twinkling lights. She
spelled out “Efil” and “Love” and her own name too, but quickly made them look
just coincidental to words. Astra knew the pain was growing more and more
immense, every day she wanted to be in Efil’s chest. The words he said were
so…great to her! Efil was…Astra wanted him to protect her, tuck her
away…eternally. Efil…
(A/N: Kudos to anyone of who gets those
references above)
………………………………............................................................................................................................
Day began to pull in, and the sun shone brightly
the next morning. One day away, one day until a trial that would sweep the world
would start. The final preparations…Sheena’s relationship with Universa…Embre
dealing with the fact that her life was shattered due to family (for the third
time)…Raise dealing with the loss of her lover…Lloyd and Dialmond struggling to
get through; for hours (until now) Kratos said nothing and the two sat there for
an answer that was soon to come…Flaren dealing with a new life, along with her
family…the Redjewels, sorting out what would happen when the day arose. And last
but not least, the tales of a Summoner named Sheena who, intertwined with all
this, looked for the way…the light to tomorrow.
A/N: I though of putting “Ray of hope…” after
the words “light to tomorrow” but I think it looks better this way. And now we
deal with…well I already listed all of it…hmm…well one day away and--yay! I’m
almost done!--the Case will begin. So that means If You Want To Bring Him Back
will be up soon! YAH! Okay, I’ll stop now…oh yeah, also the original title to
this was going to be “Making it Live” but “Making it Work” sounded more fitting.
Tell me if this was a good or bad decision! Okay, now I’m done!
