The Price Of Friendship-chap. 2
In about ten minutes the Officers from our district were at my house. As soon as
they entered, they preceded to bombarded us with dozens of questions. I swear,
it was just suppose to be a week of watching the house. Nothing fancy, just
being by myself for a good week. Now look at what happens...
It took the Officers a few hours to get all of our statements. Crono and Marle
couldn’t really give much. They barely got a good look at the guy since it was
so dark. And I couldn’t give them much more, because my glasses were knocked to
the floor during the struggle. All I could give them was a pretty vague
description.
He was a man; probably in his mid-30’s, with dark hair, and dark eyes. It wasn’t
anyone I knew or anything, so I couldn’t give them anymore. The officer informed
us that there had been a lot of homes in our area that had been burglarized, as
well as some young ladies that had been victims of rape. One girl was even
murdered recently. He said that I was very lucky to make it out ‘virtually’
unharmed.
Unharmed he says...
I have enough troubles sleeping at night without adding this to my fears. I was
just lucky Crono and Marle came when they did. If they didn’t, I don’t think I
could have stopped him...
***
It worries me...that I am still so weak. I mean I should have been able to take
that guy. I mean come on, I helped save the future for Christ’s sakes! I should
be able to defend myself against some asshole pervert lurking in the night.
“Don’t think like that...” Marle told me. This was already after the officers
were long gone. After what happen, Marle and Crono wasn’t about to leave me
alone. In turn I was kinda grateful, I didn’t really want to be alone either. So
we just spent the time cleaning up the mess, while Crono boarded up the broken
windows.
“How can I not think like that?” I asked her. “I mean, I should be able to take
care of myself. I shouldn’t need Crono coming to my rescue...” I stated. We both
looked over to my friend’s direction. For a second we thought he might have
joined in the conversation, maybe commenting on what I said. But it look now it
looked like he was having trouble staying awake on his feet.
I looked toward my savior and sighed. ‘Baka...’
Marle giggled, while looking at her boyfriend. She then got up and quietly
strolled over to him. With one hard slap on the back, Crono nearly jumped
through the roof from fright. That act brought a laugh to us all. Well, mainly
me and Marle.
Marle then walked back over to me while I was setting the lamp back on the
table. For the second I turned to her, I could tell she was pondering something.
Then her next words brought a whole new level of shock to me.
“Hey let’s have a party...” she cheerfully suggested.
Me and Crono just stared at her, we both were totally puzzled. “What?” She
questioned while looking at us. “You know...something for just the three of us.”
The girl continued. But she could tell we weren’t sold. “Hey, it’s probably the
best way to forget about what just happened and all...” The princess stated.
For few minutes no one said anything as we were pondering what Marle suggested.
Crono then added that, it was the reason they were coming over so late anyway.
He also mentioned, it had been a while since we all hung out together. Which was
true. And since Crono was in agreement, I really couldn’t say no.
“Why not...” I finally said.
***
In the next twenty minutes we had commenced our party. We had a pretty good set
up too. Some decorations, some snacks.... Even some music, which was provided
by a new invention of mine. Pre-recorded sound, digitized to a small round disk.
It wasn’t hard really. Just a project I did over the previous weekend.
The only real problem I had was trying to get it patented. Yeah that was a
problem and the name. I wanted to call it an LD. (Lucca’s disk) But then my dad
said that sounded too vain and snobby, so I just switched it to a CD. (Compact
Disk)
Anyway back to my party...
It’s funny...Truthfully I didn’t really feel like partying. I had too many
things on my mind and way too many things weighing on my heart. But I couldn’t
turn them down. Marle seemed so happy when I agreed, I would feel guilty the
rest of the night if I did.
Things for our little party seemed to be going pretty well. Crono and Marle,
even managed to get me dancing for a while. I had to admit it was kinda fun. It
was a good way to let my mind forget about the terrors I just experienced. It
also allowed me a chance to be a kid again...
***
I missed the feeling. Being carefree and innocent. I don’t remember the last
time I just went out and had fun. There was always some invention that needed to
be finished or some calculations that had to be documented.
In the past Crono and Marle would always try to get me to come out with them
when they went to parties, but of course I would always refuse. I just would
always seem to be busy. Things just always came up, when they asked.
Now that I think about it, maybe I was just trying to avoid them...
I mean Christ...They are just so damn happy together! No I should say, HE’s
always so happy when he’s with her. It’s like whenever she’s around he
automatically brightens. He always has a smile when he looks at her.
He loves her. It’s so apparent that it makes me crazy. It makes me enraged as
well as envious.
Why?!? Why can’t it be me that makes him feel that way?!?
I love him just as much as Marle. Probably even more. I know if he would just
look my way one time, I would make any desire he had come true.
Why...?
Why did I have to be the one to be alone?
***
The first few songs on the CD, were more fast moving songs. Stuff they usually
played whenever we had festivals or things like that. In fact, I recorded most
of the tracks from the last Moonlight Parade.
So we basically danced to all of them. Which was cool...till the tracks turned
to the slow songs. Since slow melodies weren’t my thing, I decided to sit this
one out. But it didn’t stop Marle and Crono from dancing.
The two continued on in the middle of my living room. I could tell after a few
minutes, they totally forgot I was in the room, specially the way they were
looking at each other. After each chord in the song, they would tighten their
embrace.
And all I could do was watch...I watched them, in envy as well as in loathing.
It should be me there, not her. But I held my tongue in contempt as I continued
to look at them dance.
Slowly my mind started to drift away. My thoughts were casting to days in the
past. Remembering lost instances when chances could have been made. But one
night in particular stood out in my mind...
***
I remembered the night back when we were in the future. That was the night we
first discovered Robo. It was so cool, it was like my first shot at really
examining the technology from that time frame.
I spent all night repairing Robo. It was the first all-nighter I pulled in a
long time. Meanwhile, Crono and Marle were just hanging out while I was working.
They managed to keep themselves busy while I was at work. They would kinda
switch off. One would sleep a little bit, while the other one kept me company.
Granted, Crono did a lot more of the sleeping than Marle. But she didn’t seem to
mind. She would just simply watch him as he slept.
Of course I kept a close eye on what was going on. But at the time I didn’t
really process what I was witnessing. I don’t know why I didn’t see it then. I
think maybe my mind was too enthralled with the technology of the future to
really pay attention.
That was my first mistake...
Shortly after Marle walked away from the slumbering Crono. She approached me
again. At first I thought she was going to ask me, “Is he finished yet?” for the
hundredth time. But what she did ask, kinda threw me off.
“Lucca are you and Crono...together?” She inquired.
“Huh??” I didn’t really hear her at first. I was too busying rewiring Robo’s
mainframe circuitry. But then I turned to her while wiping away some oil that
squirted on my forehead. I decide it was best to at least pay a little attention
to what she was saying.
When I did, I think my focus made the princess blushed. Yeah it was apparent she
was blushing even in the darkness of the room. “Are you guys...just friends I
mean?” She asked. Her eyes were glimmering as she looked at me.
I thought about it and shrugged. “Ummm...Yeah I guess we are.” I stated
truthfully. Granted there was that time, me and him kissed while behind the
mayor’s house. Then again, that was a dare more then anything. But it did feel
nice...
After hearing my answer, Marle seemed to brighten. “Oh...” She said with a
beaming smile. “So how long do you think it will be?” She then inquired.
I looked toward the heap of metal & wires and sighed. “It will be a while before
he will be functioning, but I should be done by morning.” I informed her.
The girl nodded. “Oh...Ok. I’m going to turn in then.” She said while taking a
spot next to Crono. She curled up onto the floor, then looked over to me with a
small yawn. “Good night Lucca.”
“Good night....” I said, my attention already focusing on the Robo’s mobility
systems.
****
At first I didn’t realize what she was asking. All I was thinking about in that
moment was the last two servos that still weren’t producing the proper feed. I
mean how was I to know what she was really saying.
But after a while it hit me. I was working and it just hit me, just what a big
mistake I made. And it wasn’t like I could just take my words back either. Cause
honestly there wasn’t anything between me and Crono. We were just
friends....best friends.
Still I should have said something...ANYTHING!!!
Why?!? Why didn’t I just say no?!? Why didn’t I just say how I did feel about
him?!? And merely asked her to back off for a while...
Sometimes...Sometimes I just wish I could use the Epoch to go back and fix that
mistake. My greatest mistake of all...But I can’t. I can’t just screw time over,
just for my petty mistakes.
It’s funny...I wish I could hate her. God things would be so much easier if I
did. But I can’t. The girl’s almost like a sister to me. Probably one of the
closest friends I have...besides Crono.
Who would have thought that my greatest enemy would be one of my best friends...
***
My thoughts where wrenched back to reality as I felt my own tears hitting my
lap. Once again, my pseudo love-life has reduced me to tears. And it seemed I
had an audience as well.
As I looked up I saw both Crono and Marle looking at me with troubled eyes. I
couldn’t imagine what they were thinking of me now. Seeing me...the Rock. The
supposive iron- willed girl of the group, crying like some little child.
“Lucca, are you ok?” Marle asked me as I wiped away my tears.
“Yeah..” I bluntly stated, while looking away from her. Another lie.... Well one
more couldn’t hurt. I’ve told so many since all of this started, I think that’s
all I’ve learned to do.
Marle regarded me for a long time. I think she was debating on whether-or-not to
pursue the issue. Honestly, I was hoping she wasn’t. I...I can’t...I’m not ready
for Crono to know how I feel. Cause as soon as he knows...Everything will be
different. The friendship between us would be forever severed...
He wouldn’t be able to look at me the same way again. He wouldn’t see the caring
friend that always tried to be there for him, whenever he needed it or not.
Someone that even risked her own neck trying to break him out of the Royal
Prison....
No...He would just see Lucca. The four-eyed geek that had a hopeless crush on
him. Someone that followed him through the time like a love-sick puppy. Someone
that......
Who am I kidding? I’ve known Crono for all this time...And I know he would never
do that to me. I just still don’t want him to know....
****
Several seconds passed as Marle continued to look at me. Eventually the blonde
girl let out a deep sigh as she came to her decision. “Ok....” She said finally
accepting the my answer. Her face then turned back to it’s usual radiant smile.
She took my hand. “Hey, I have to go to the little girl’s room, so come on...I
want you to dance with Crono instead,” She encouraged.
“Ummm...I don’t know.” Is what I would have said if I wasn’t already being
pushed back into the room by the Princess. Next thing I know, I’m face-to-face
with Crono. Well actually it was more like my nose pressed-to-his chest.
Jeez..she could have at least let us have some breathing room.
Crono looked down to me in a total blush, which I must have mirrored cause I
could feel my own face getting hot as well. “Go on you too!!!” Marle protested,
after she saw we weren’t doing anything. I sighed. ‘Later tonight I’m going to
have to kill that girl...’ I thought to myself.
But then my complaints stopped. I felt Crono’s arms encircle my waist, as he
also took my hand. It was so weird, him being so gentle with me. We usually only
make contact, when we’re horsing around...But GOD it felt so good.
And once again my face felt hot....
***
It’s funny...I’ve never learned how to dance really. At most festivals or
fairs...it was always the more busty, less complex girls that were always asked.
At the time I didn’t mind. I always thought they were too immature anyway. I
didn’t need them...All I needed was my technology and him...
After Marle left, Crono and I continued to dance. It was nice kinda. Sure we
never did this kinda thing before. And I know I must have been a terrible burden
to him. I mean almost every other step I nearly fell over my own feet, not to
mention his. And like always Crono was there to catch me. But like I was saying
it was nice.
His strong forest green eyes staring intently into mine. His arm wrapped around
me. The easy smile his face held as we continued to move. It’s strange....For a
second I almost thought that maybe he had forgot about Marle. That he just for a
few moments forgot about the girl’s smile... Her charm... Her looks... And
maybe, just maybe Crono had eyes only for me. That I was the one that held his
heart close. That my lips where the one’s he would claim when we were behind
closed doors. That my name would be the name he would call out in our nights of
passion.
But all too soon my dreaming was hit by the brute force of reality. Marle had
stepped backed into the room.
****
For a second I saw Marle pause as she looked at us dancing together. I wonder...
Could she have been slightly jealous of the intimate embrace, me and Crono were
sharing? Could she have been slightly worried, that in that instant his heart
might turn and he would be mine?
When those thoughts occurred to me, I hate to admit but it brought a smile to my
face. Cause inside those seconds while she’s looking at us. The feeling... The
wondering if she lost him... Wondering if she lost everything... Marle was
experiencing the same heartbreak I suffer through year round.
But as always, it seemed my joy would be short lived. The instant Crono spotted
Marle, he waved her over to join us. So now instead of it being two people that
couldn’t dance. Now there were three clumsy souls, desperately trying to stay
with the rhythm.
We were nothing but a mesh of arms, legs and abused toes. All it could take was
one slip...(which was thanks to Crono) to send us all to the floor. And once
again the room was filled with our laughter. Granted the floor was hard on our
bottoms, but the heart-warming feeling of enjoying a night with friends was even
more comforting.
Just like all things though, we had to turn in for the night. It was already
pretty late. So I welcomed them to sleep over. Of course Crono was riding the
couch, while Marle and I slept in my room. I mean come on...I wasn’t going to
let them share a bed, do I look that stupid.
****
“Lucca?” Marle asked me while we were changing into our sleeping clothes. I was
just wearing my usual over-size T-shirt. Something I done since I was little
girl. Where Marle was dressed in a thin laced night gown. An outfit that, (if I
was Crono) I probably would be drooling over.
“Yeah...” I answered her.
When I turned around to look at her, I was faced with the most interesting
oddity. Princess Nadia, probably the most carefree, easy-going person I’ve ever
meet. She was looking at me with such a serious expression that I almost forgot
that she was my usual joyful friend. “I know you don’t want to hear this from
me,” She began. “But I’m sorry about what happened tonight.”
“Your right...I don’t want to hear it.” I shot back. After a few seconds, a soft
sigh escaped my lips. She didn’t deserve that, she didn’t deserve that at all. I
looked back to her. “But thank you anyway.” I added. She didn’t appeared to be
phased at all by my earlier comment.
I took another breath. “Honestly I just want to try to move-on. I’m not gonna
let that asshole get the better of me. Granted if we ever cross paths again, I’m
kicking his ass. But besides that...I’ll survive.”
“You are so strong...” Marle told me. “Man I think I would be flipping out if
that happened to me. I still shake when I think about it,” She gave a look
towards the door then looked back to me. “I know you probably wouldn’t have said
anything because of Crono, but weren’t you scared?”
After hearing her question, I released another sigh. ‘Can’t we just go to sleep
already!’ I mentally complained. Then I gazed over to the princess. “At the
moment I was, cause all I could think about was all the people that meant so
much to me. My parents, you and the others...Crono.” I drifted off a bit after I
said his name. I slightly pondered on that idea, leaving without seeing him
again. I didn’t like the feeling. “There is still so much I haven’t done yet...”
My eyes fell to my bedroom floor. “Specially one thing...” I paused as I
regained my thoughts. “I guess I’m just glad I made it out ok.”
“Oh....” Was Marle’s only reply.
Hopefully that will end all of the questions for the night. I thought to myself
as I layed down onto the mattress. Rest..That’s all I want right now. Peace and
quiet. Not to mention plenty of rest...
“You know this must sound silly....” I heard her say. Another sighed escaped my
throat, as I rose from the bed again to listen. Marle, noticing she still had my
attention, continued. “but since I was a little girl, I kinda always wanted a
big sister.” She said truthfully.
I tilted my head slightly as I pondered what she was saying. I think my interest
made her a little embarrassed, but still she preceded. “Then when I met you and
Crono...You guys didn’t treat me like a princess. You two treated me like I was
my own person.” The blonde girl smiled. “And I think ever since then, I secretly
thought of you guys as my family. And you like my big sister.” She blushed as
she looked away from me. “Stupid isn’t it?” She said while returning my gaze.
“No...” I reassured her with my smile. “It’s not. A big sister huh?” I thought
about the idea. “I never really had any siblings either..So I think it would be
cool to have a sister.”
“Then it’s agreed.” Marle cheered as she gave me a big hug. For a few seconds I
tensed a bit. I mean, this was the girl that was dating the only guy in my life
that I ever loved. God, talk about awkward. That and not to mention the fact her
breasts were poking me through that thin ass night gown. For a second I thought
about shunning her affections, but then I guess I gave in and returned her
embrace. She is still Marle. My best friend/little sister, and that should come
before anything else.
“Ok...I’m going to bed...” Marle advised after a small yawn.
“Yeah me too, I guess.” I stated as I rested back onto the mattress. “Good night
Marle...”
“Good night...” She returned. And soon she was dead to the world.
I smiled as I looked at her. Marle was still a sweet girl, even though she could
get chatty at times. But it doesn’t matter. All I want to do is sleep and
finally let this night end....
***
Five minutes later I seemed to wake up from my slumber. As I arose from my bed,
I noticed my location. I was no longer in my room. I now was in the middle of a
seemingly endless hallway of darkness. I looked around from side-to-side trying
to get some kinda of bearing, but all I could see was the total emptiness that
surrounded me.
After a few minutes, I decided to just move in a direction. I didn’t care where
I went as long as I was going somewhere. That was just the thing though. I had
been walking for a good ten minutes, but nothing around me ever changed. It was
like walking in complete circles.
Then all of a sudden the walls seemed to shift and a opening appeared on the
floor. I didn’t get a chance to investigate the oddity, because a huge gust of
wind was pulling me into the direction of the hole. The vacuum was strong, so
strong my very footing was taken from under me. With no kind of resistance, I
was easily sucked into the portal.
I’m falling....
I could actually feel myself falling... The weightlessness... The totally
removal from everything around me....
I was falling for God knows how long. But then eventually I saw another portal
open up below me. I fell through the opening and I landed into another room.
This was a room like the first with no exits, but there was one difference...
“Marle!” I shouted at the top of my lungs. I was so relieved to see a familiar
face in such a bizarre place. The blonde princess was in a room that was
adjacent to mine own. Only thing that was altered was the huge translucent wall
that separated us.
“Where are we?” The princess asked. It was funny although we were separated by
wall that appeared to be at least a foot thick. We could hear each other
perfectly.
“I don’t know...I think maybe...” I began, but then my voice ran short. A
glowing light appeared behind me that outlined around the wall. The luminance
outline started to take the shape of a passageway. No...more like a doorway.
Then a soft murmuring was heard coming from the direction.
We both held our breaths as we waited to see what was going to happen next. My
mind was already trying to figure out some kind of battle plan. I just hoped
Marle was doing the same. Then after a few seconds the doorway opened up and a
dark hooded figure stepped out.
From the figure’s stature, I could tell it was a man, though I couldn’t make out
his features. His hood concealed everything about his face. The hooded man
regarded me for a second then started to move in my direction.
At this moment I knew I should have been terrified, but for some reason I
wasn’t. There was just something about him that made me feel at ease. Then he
slowly drew back his hood and wild stocks of flaming red hair fell out. He
stared at me with intense green eyes and I was captivated.
“CRONO!!!” Marle shouted to him. The girl frantically waved her arms, trying to
get his attention. But it seemed like an act in vain. He never took his eyes off
of me. It was like he was hypnotically drawn only to me. In another place in
time, I would have thought it was slightly creepy. Now, though I was only
enchanted by his stare, not to mention a little intrigued.
Then with one quick motion I found his hand circling the corners of my lips. His
fingers slowly gliding down my cheek and slid underneath my chin. I could feel
his touch traveling along the sleek flow of my neckline, then to the smooth
region along my chest.
I didn’t know what he was seeking: His fingers...His hands... His touch... All I
did know was... I didn’t want him to stop. My heavy breathing increased the
more he explored my body. It didn’t matter what he said. At that moment, my
being was so infused with lust, that I would have done anything he wished at a
moments notice. Then without any hint of hesitation, he started to probe
underneath the night-shirt that I was wearing, not even giving thought that for
a second that I might protest.
“CRONO!!!!!” I could hear in the background. Marle.. I almost forgotten about
her. I was going to make a comment, but then I noticed through all this time,
never once did Crono even acknowledged her existence. In his eyes I could only
see my reflection.
It was then at that very moment of her cry, did his lips touch mine.
He pulled me into in his arms as he deepened our kiss. His mouth parted as his
warm tongue licked my lips. My eyes widen from the stimulus. We kissed again,
his tongue probing the roof of my mouth, as my tongue massaged his. He pulled me
even closer to his strong frame, his hands massaging my breasts through my
T-shirt. My nibbles harden from his touch. I could feel myself getting wetter
and wetter, every second.
“CRONO!!! LUCCA!!! STOPPITT!!! NO!!!!” I could hear Marle cry. But I
couldn’t...I refused to give up the feeling...The rewarding feeling of bliss.
Crono’s lips then trailed down the sides of my neck. If felt the strength in my
legs give way as his kisses triggered every one of my spots. Then with one hand,
he tore away the flimsy material I was wearing. I was standing there before him,
totally vulnerable...Totally at his mercy...And I all I could think about was
how much I wanted him.
“ARCTIC WINDS AND MALICING STORMS, YOUR MISTRESS SUMMONS YOU! ICE 3!!!” Marle
shouted, as she spoke the words to one of her strongest spells. I knew Marle was
fighting, trying anything she could to get to us. Probably with the hope of
getting some kind of explanation or killing us there on the spot, but the wall
that divided us held firm.
“DAMMIT!!” She cursed, as she continued to hear the moans and groans from our
acts. I could hear girl try the spell again, only to have the same results. Now
all Marle appeared to be doing was try to block out all she was hearing and
seeing, but it proved futile.
Crono pulled me down to the floor on top of him. My smooth white legs straddling
his groin. My wet pussy, gently grinding against his confined organ as I slowly
began to undress him.
I removed him from the dark material he was wearing. Soon his strong muscular
chest was uncovered. My tongue then trailed down the smooth contours of his
pecks. He ran his hand through my violet colored hair, as I my kisses and licks
made their way down to his abs.
“STOP IT!!!!” Marle cried, tears were now streaming down her eyes. “STOP IT!!!
LUCCA!!! CRONO!!! Your....Your...Your suppose to be my friends!! PLEASE!!!” She
pleaded with us again.
Marle tried to shield herself from being a witness...From having to observe our
love making. That’s when the hands appeared. Hands...I didn’t even see faces, I
just saw hands. Grabbing her and forcing her to watch our act. Marle screamed
for Crono. Screamed with all her might, for him to save her. But the hero was
deaf to her pleas.
It was almost like Crono was totally unaware, to the blonde girl’s presence. But
I could. I could see the fear in her eyes. The confusion. The total apathy of
what was taking place before her. For a second the two of us exchanged glances.
Her bright blue eyes were cast into my emerald green ones. Her eyes wanting...
Pleading for some explanation to the madness she was witnessing.
And my answer to the anguishing expression that was held on Marle’s face... I
grinned.
I grinned and laughed. Mocking her as I made her lover my own. Crono’s and my
lips fought for dominance, as the weeping princess was forced to watch. I then
looked down into my lovers eyes and whispered. “Crono, does Marle mean anything
to you?”
Through the hypnotic eyes that Crono held onto me. He managed to shake his head
no. “NOOO!!!” I could hear in the background. I rejoiced...
“So who does your heart belong to?” I asked him, as I clutched him to my breast.
A sharp grin appeared on his face as he spoke my name. He said it again, only
louder this time for all who was listening to hear.
Pleased with his answer. I rewarded my lover with another sensual kiss. I
quickly removed the remainder of his clothes. Then in mere moments both our
naked bodies were grinding and grunting, consumed with our own sexual lust.
His rock hard cock, seeking the warm ecstasy of my pussy. We continued to fuck
for what seemed like hours. All the while Marle was helplessly force to watched.
And eventually, even I started to pass out from exhaustion. As I held Crono in
my arms, we both were lulled away to sleep by the still present dismal cries of
my friend.
****
A clamp of thunder was what awoke Lucca from her sleep. The rain continued to
pour as the recollections of the dream set in.
****
I woke up from the dream in shock. ‘WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?!? How could I think of
such things?!?’ My mind frantically wondered. ‘What kind of monster am I?!?’ I
screamed within my own mind.
Suddenly I looked over to the sleeping form of my friend. Marle who was
peacefully resting. The girl who was totally oblivious to the horrendous and
malicious acts, her friend’s mind created. Friend? I don’t even deserve to be
considered her friend.
“Marle, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry...” I whispered to the resting girl.
Then the room was filled with another sound, besides the rhythmic pattering of
the rainfall.
My weeping...

The Price Of Friendship-chap. 2
In about ten minutes the Officers from our district were at my house. As soon as
they entered, they preceded to bombarded us with dozens of questions. I swear,
it was just suppose to be a week of watching the house. Nothing fancy, just
being by myself for a good week. Now look at what happens...
It took the Officers a few hours to get all of our statements. Crono and Marle
couldn’t really give much. They barely got a good look at the guy since it was
so dark. And I couldn’t give them much more, because my glasses were knocked to
the floor during the struggle. All I could give them was a pretty vague
description.
He was a man; probably in his mid-30’s, with dark hair, and dark eyes. It wasn’t
anyone I knew or anything, so I couldn’t give them anymore. The officer informed
us that there had been a lot of homes in our area that had been burglarized, as
well as some young ladies that had been victims of rape. One girl was even
murdered recently. He said that I was very lucky to make it out ‘virtually’
unharmed.
Unharmed he says...
I have enough troubles sleeping at night without adding this to my fears. I was
just lucky Crono and Marle came when they did. If they didn’t, I don’t think I
could have stopped him...
***
It worries me...that I am still so weak. I mean I should have been able to take
that guy. I mean come on, I helped save the future for Christ’s sakes! I should
be able to defend myself against some asshole pervert lurking in the night.
“Don’t think like that...” Marle told me. This was already after the officers
were long gone. After what happen, Marle and Crono wasn’t about to leave me
alone. In turn I was kinda grateful, I didn’t really want to be alone either. So
we just spent the time cleaning up the mess, while Crono boarded up the broken
windows.
“How can I not think like that?” I asked her. “I mean, I should be able to take
care of myself. I shouldn’t need Crono coming to my rescue...” I stated. We both
looked over to my friend’s direction. For a second we thought he might have
joined in the conversation, maybe commenting on what I said. But it look now it
looked like he was having trouble staying awake on his feet.
I looked toward my savior and sighed. ‘Baka...’
Marle giggled, while looking at her boyfriend. She then got up and quietly
strolled over to him. With one hard slap on the back, Crono nearly jumped
through the roof from fright. That act brought a laugh to us all. Well, mainly
me and Marle.
Marle then walked back over to me while I was setting the lamp back on the
table. For the second I turned to her, I could tell she was pondering something.
Then her next words brought a whole new level of shock to me.
“Hey let’s have a party...” she cheerfully suggested.
Me and Crono just stared at her, we both were totally puzzled. “What?” She
questioned while looking at us. “You know...something for just the three of us.”
The girl continued. But she could tell we weren’t sold. “Hey, it’s probably the
best way to forget about what just happened and all...” The princess stated.
For few minutes no one said anything as we were pondering what Marle suggested.
Crono then added that, it was the reason they were coming over so late anyway.
He also mentioned, it had been a while since we all hung out together. Which was
true. And since Crono was in agreement, I really couldn’t say no.
“Why not...” I finally said.
***
In the next twenty minutes we had commenced our party. We had a pretty good set
up too. Some decorations, some snacks.... Even some music, which was provided
by a new invention of mine. Pre-recorded sound, digitized to a small round disk.
It wasn’t hard really. Just a project I did over the previous weekend.
The only real problem I had was trying to get it patented. Yeah that was a
problem and the name. I wanted to call it an LD. (Lucca’s disk) But then my dad
said that sounded too vain and snobby, so I just switched it to a CD. (Compact
Disk)
Anyway back to my party...
It’s funny...Truthfully I didn’t really feel like partying. I had too many
things on my mind and way too many things weighing on my heart. But I couldn’t
turn them down. Marle seemed so happy when I agreed, I would feel guilty the
rest of the night if I did.
Things for our little party seemed to be going pretty well. Crono and Marle,
even managed to get me dancing for a while. I had to admit it was kinda fun. It
was a good way to let my mind forget about the terrors I just experienced. It
also allowed me a chance to be a kid again...
***
I missed the feeling. Being carefree and innocent. I don’t remember the last
time I just went out and had fun. There was always some invention that needed to
be finished or some calculations that had to be documented.
In the past Crono and Marle would always try to get me to come out with them
when they went to parties, but of course I would always refuse. I just would
always seem to be busy. Things just always came up, when they asked.
Now that I think about it, maybe I was just trying to avoid them...
I mean Christ...They are just so damn happy together! No I should say, HE’s
always so happy when he’s with her. It’s like whenever she’s around he
automatically brightens. He always has a smile when he looks at her.
He loves her. It’s so apparent that it makes me crazy. It makes me enraged as
well as envious.
Why?!? Why can’t it be me that makes him feel that way?!?
I love him just as much as Marle. Probably even more. I know if he would just
look my way one time, I would make any desire he had come true.
Why...?
Why did I have to be the one to be alone?
***
The first few songs on the CD, were more fast moving songs. Stuff they usually
played whenever we had festivals or things like that. In fact, I recorded most
of the tracks from the last Moonlight Parade.
So we basically danced to all of them. Which was cool...till the tracks turned
to the slow songs. Since slow melodies weren’t my thing, I decided to sit this
one out. But it didn’t stop Marle and Crono from dancing.
The two continued on in the middle of my living room. I could tell after a few
minutes, they totally forgot I was in the room, specially the way they were
looking at each other. After each chord in the song, they would tighten their
embrace.
And all I could do was watch...I watched them, in envy as well as in loathing.
It should be me there, not her. But I held my tongue in contempt as I continued
to look at them dance.
Slowly my mind started to drift away. My thoughts were casting to days in the
past. Remembering lost instances when chances could have been made. But one
night in particular stood out in my mind...
***
I remembered the night back when we were in the future. That was the night we
first discovered Robo. It was so cool, it was like my first shot at really
examining the technology from that time frame.
I spent all night repairing Robo. It was the first all-nighter I pulled in a
long time. Meanwhile, Crono and Marle were just hanging out while I was working.
They managed to keep themselves busy while I was at work. They would kinda
switch off. One would sleep a little bit, while the other one kept me company.
Granted, Crono did a lot more of the sleeping than Marle. But she didn’t seem to
mind. She would just simply watch him as he slept.
Of course I kept a close eye on what was going on. But at the time I didn’t
really process what I was witnessing. I don’t know why I didn’t see it then. I
think maybe my mind was too enthralled with the technology of the future to
really pay attention.
That was my first mistake...
Shortly after Marle walked away from the slumbering Crono. She approached me
again. At first I thought she was going to ask me, “Is he finished yet?” for the
hundredth time. But what she did ask, kinda threw me off.
“Lucca are you and Crono...together?” She inquired.
“Huh??” I didn’t really hear her at first. I was too busying rewiring Robo’s
mainframe circuitry. But then I turned to her while wiping away some oil that
squirted on my forehead. I decide it was best to at least pay a little attention
to what she was saying.
When I did, I think my focus made the princess blushed. Yeah it was apparent she
was blushing even in the darkness of the room. “Are you guys...just friends I
mean?” She asked. Her eyes were glimmering as she looked at me.
I thought about it and shrugged. “Ummm...Yeah I guess we are.” I stated
truthfully. Granted there was that time, me and him kissed while behind the
mayor’s house. Then again, that was a dare more then anything. But it did feel
nice...
After hearing my answer, Marle seemed to brighten. “Oh...” She said with a
beaming smile. “So how long do you think it will be?” She then inquired.
I looked toward the heap of metal & wires and sighed. “It will be a while before
he will be functioning, but I should be done by morning.” I informed her.
The girl nodded. “Oh...Ok. I’m going to turn in then.” She said while taking a
spot next to Crono. She curled up onto the floor, then looked over to me with a
small yawn. “Good night Lucca.”
“Good night....” I said, my attention already focusing on the Robo’s mobility
systems.
****
At first I didn’t realize what she was asking. All I was thinking about in that
moment was the last two servos that still weren’t producing the proper feed. I
mean how was I to know what she was really saying.
But after a while it hit me. I was working and it just hit me, just what a big
mistake I made. And it wasn’t like I could just take my words back either. Cause
honestly there wasn’t anything between me and Crono. We were just
friends....best friends.
Still I should have said something...ANYTHING!!!
Why?!? Why didn’t I just say no?!? Why didn’t I just say how I did feel about
him?!? And merely asked her to back off for a while...
Sometimes...Sometimes I just wish I could use the Epoch to go back and fix that
mistake. My greatest mistake of all...But I can’t. I can’t just screw time over,
just for my petty mistakes.
It’s funny...I wish I could hate her. God things would be so much easier if I
did. But I can’t. The girl’s almost like a sister to me. Probably one of the
closest friends I have...besides Crono.
Who would have thought that my greatest enemy would be one of my best friends...
***
My thoughts where wrenched back to reality as I felt my own tears hitting my
lap. Once again, my pseudo love-life has reduced me to tears. And it seemed I
had an audience as well.
As I looked up I saw both Crono and Marle looking at me with troubled eyes. I
couldn’t imagine what they were thinking of me now. Seeing me...the Rock. The
supposive iron- willed girl of the group, crying like some little child.
“Lucca, are you ok?” Marle asked me as I wiped away my tears.
“Yeah..” I bluntly stated, while looking away from her. Another lie.... Well one
more couldn’t hurt. I’ve told so many since all of this started, I think that’s
all I’ve learned to do.
Marle regarded me for a long time. I think she was debating on whether-or-not to
pursue the issue. Honestly, I was hoping she wasn’t. I...I can’t...I’m not ready
for Crono to know how I feel. Cause as soon as he knows...Everything will be
different. The friendship between us would be forever severed...
He wouldn’t be able to look at me the same way again. He wouldn’t see the caring
friend that always tried to be there for him, whenever he needed it or not.
Someone that even risked her own neck trying to break him out of the Royal
Prison....
No...He would just see Lucca. The four-eyed geek that had a hopeless crush on
him. Someone that followed him through the time like a love-sick puppy. Someone
that......
Who am I kidding? I’ve known Crono for all this time...And I know he would never
do that to me. I just still don’t want him to know....
****
Several seconds passed as Marle continued to look at me. Eventually the blonde
girl let out a deep sigh as she came to her decision. “Ok....” She said finally
accepting the my answer. Her face then turned back to it’s usual radiant smile.
She took my hand. “Hey, I have to go to the little girl’s room, so come on...I
want you to dance with Crono instead,” She encouraged.
“Ummm...I don’t know.” Is what I would have said if I wasn’t already being
pushed back into the room by the Princess. Next thing I know, I’m face-to-face
with Crono. Well actually it was more like my nose pressed-to-his chest.
Jeez..she could have at least let us have some breathing room.
Crono looked down to me in a total blush, which I must have mirrored cause I
could feel my own face getting hot as well. “Go on you too!!!” Marle protested,
after she saw we weren’t doing anything. I sighed. ‘Later tonight I’m going to
have to kill that girl...’ I thought to myself.
But then my complaints stopped. I felt Crono’s arms encircle my waist, as he
also took my hand. It was so weird, him being so gentle with me. We usually only
make contact, when we’re horsing around...But GOD it felt so good.
And once again my face felt hot....
***
It’s funny...I’ve never learned how to dance really. At most festivals or
fairs...it was always the more busty, less complex girls that were always asked.
At the time I didn’t mind. I always thought they were too immature anyway. I
didn’t need them...All I needed was my technology and him...
After Marle left, Crono and I continued to dance. It was nice kinda. Sure we
never did this kinda thing before. And I know I must have been a terrible burden
to him. I mean almost every other step I nearly fell over my own feet, not to
mention his. And like always Crono was there to catch me. But like I was saying
it was nice.
His strong forest green eyes staring intently into mine. His arm wrapped around
me. The easy smile his face held as we continued to move. It’s strange....For a
second I almost thought that maybe he had forgot about Marle. That he just for a
few moments forgot about the girl’s smile... Her charm... Her looks... And
maybe, just maybe Crono had eyes only for me. That I was the one that held his
heart close. That my lips where the one’s he would claim when we were behind
closed doors. That my name would be the name he would call out in our nights of
passion.
But all too soon my dreaming was hit by the brute force of reality. Marle had
stepped backed into the room.
****
For a second I saw Marle pause as she looked at us dancing together. I wonder...
Could she have been slightly jealous of the intimate embrace, me and Crono were
sharing? Could she have been slightly worried, that in that instant his heart
might turn and he would be mine?
When those thoughts occurred to me, I hate to admit but it brought a smile to my
face. Cause inside those seconds while she’s looking at us. The feeling... The
wondering if she lost him... Wondering if she lost everything... Marle was
experiencing the same heartbreak I suffer through year round.
But as always, it seemed my joy would be short lived. The instant Crono spotted
Marle, he waved her over to join us. So now instead of it being two people that
couldn’t dance. Now there were three clumsy souls, desperately trying to stay
with the rhythm.
We were nothing but a mesh of arms, legs and abused toes. All it could take was
one slip...(which was thanks to Crono) to send us all to the floor. And once
again the room was filled with our laughter. Granted the floor was hard on our
bottoms, but the heart-warming feeling of enjoying a night with friends was even
more comforting.
Just like all things though, we had to turn in for the night. It was already
pretty late. So I welcomed them to sleep over. Of course Crono was riding the
couch, while Marle and I slept in my room. I mean come on...I wasn’t going to
let them share a bed, do I look that stupid.
****
“Lucca?” Marle asked me while we were changing into our sleeping clothes. I was
just wearing my usual over-size T-shirt. Something I done since I was little
girl. Where Marle was dressed in a thin laced night gown. An outfit that, (if I
was Crono) I probably would be drooling over.
“Yeah...” I answered her.
When I turned around to look at her, I was faced with the most interesting
oddity. Princess Nadia, probably the most carefree, easy-going person I’ve ever
meet. She was looking at me with such a serious expression that I almost forgot
that she was my usual joyful friend. “I know you don’t want to hear this from
me,” She began. “But I’m sorry about what happened tonight.”
“Your right...I don’t want to hear it.” I shot back. After a few seconds, a soft
sigh escaped my lips. She didn’t deserve that, she didn’t deserve that at all. I
looked back to her. “But thank you anyway.” I added. She didn’t appeared to be
phased at all by my earlier comment.
I took another breath. “Honestly I just want to try to move-on. I’m not gonna
let that asshole get the better of me. Granted if we ever cross paths again, I’m
kicking his ass. But besides that...I’ll survive.”
“You are so strong...” Marle told me. “Man I think I would be flipping out if
that happened to me. I still shake when I think about it,” She gave a look
towards the door then looked back to me. “I know you probably wouldn’t have said
anything because of Crono, but weren’t you scared?”
After hearing her question, I released another sigh. ‘Can’t we just go to sleep
already!’ I mentally complained. Then I gazed over to the princess. “At the
moment I was, cause all I could think about was all the people that meant so
much to me. My parents, you and the others...Crono.” I drifted off a bit after I
said his name. I slightly pondered on that idea, leaving without seeing him
again. I didn’t like the feeling. “There is still so much I haven’t done yet...”
My eyes fell to my bedroom floor. “Specially one thing...” I paused as I
regained my thoughts. “I guess I’m just glad I made it out ok.”
“Oh....” Was Marle’s only reply.
Hopefully that will end all of the questions for the night. I thought to myself
as I layed down onto the mattress. Rest..That’s all I want right now. Peace and
quiet. Not to mention plenty of rest...
“You know this must sound silly....” I heard her say. Another sighed escaped my
throat, as I rose from the bed again to listen. Marle, noticing she still had my
attention, continued. “but since I was a little girl, I kinda always wanted a
big sister.” She said truthfully.
I tilted my head slightly as I pondered what she was saying. I think my interest
made her a little embarrassed, but still she preceded. “Then when I met you and
Crono...You guys didn’t treat me like a princess. You two treated me like I was
my own person.” The blonde girl smiled. “And I think ever since then, I secretly
thought of you guys as my family. And you like my big sister.” She blushed as
she looked away from me. “Stupid isn’t it?” She said while returning my gaze.
“No...” I reassured her with my smile. “It’s not. A big sister huh?” I thought
about the idea. “I never really had any siblings either..So I think it would be
cool to have a sister.”
“Then it’s agreed.” Marle cheered as she gave me a big hug. For a few seconds I
tensed a bit. I mean, this was the girl that was dating the only guy in my life
that I ever loved. God, talk about awkward. That and not to mention the fact her
breasts were poking me through that thin ass night gown. For a second I thought
about shunning her affections, but then I guess I gave in and returned her
embrace. She is still Marle. My best friend/little sister, and that should come
before anything else.
“Ok...I’m going to bed...” Marle advised after a small yawn.
“Yeah me too, I guess.” I stated as I rested back onto the mattress. “Good night
Marle...”
“Good night...” She returned. And soon she was dead to the world.
I smiled as I looked at her. Marle was still a sweet girl, even though she could
get chatty at times. But it doesn’t matter. All I want to do is sleep and
finally let this night end....
***
Five minutes later I seemed to wake up from my slumber. As I arose from my bed,
I noticed my location. I was no longer in my room. I now was in the middle of a
seemingly endless hallway of darkness. I looked around from side-to-side trying
to get some kinda of bearing, but all I could see was the total emptiness that
surrounded me.
After a few minutes, I decided to just move in a direction. I didn’t care where
I went as long as I was going somewhere. That was just the thing though. I had
been walking for a good ten minutes, but nothing around me ever changed. It was
like walking in complete circles.
Then all of a sudden the walls seemed to shift and a opening appeared on the
floor. I didn’t get a chance to investigate the oddity, because a huge gust of
wind was pulling me into the direction of the hole. The vacuum was strong, so
strong my very footing was taken from under me. With no kind of resistance, I
was easily sucked into the portal.
I’m falling....
I could actually feel myself falling... The weightlessness... The totally
removal from everything around me....
I was falling for God knows how long. But then eventually I saw another portal
open up below me. I fell through the opening and I landed into another room.
This was a room like the first with no exits, but there was one difference...
“Marle!” I shouted at the top of my lungs. I was so relieved to see a familiar
face in such a bizarre place. The blonde princess was in a room that was
adjacent to mine own. Only thing that was altered was the huge translucent wall
that separated us.
“Where are we?” The princess asked. It was funny although we were separated by
wall that appeared to be at least a foot thick. We could hear each other
perfectly.
“I don’t know...I think maybe...” I began, but then my voice ran short. A
glowing light appeared behind me that outlined around the wall. The luminance
outline started to take the shape of a passageway. No...more like a doorway.
Then a soft murmuring was heard coming from the direction.
We both held our breaths as we waited to see what was going to happen next. My
mind was already trying to figure out some kind of battle plan. I just hoped
Marle was doing the same. Then after a few seconds the doorway opened up and a
dark hooded figure stepped out.
From the figure’s stature, I could tell it was a man, though I couldn’t make out
his features. His hood concealed everything about his face. The hooded man
regarded me for a second then started to move in my direction.
At this moment I knew I should have been terrified, but for some reason I
wasn’t. There was just something about him that made me feel at ease. Then he
slowly drew back his hood and wild stocks of flaming red hair fell out. He
stared at me with intense green eyes and I was captivated.
“CRONO!!!” Marle shouted to him. The girl frantically waved her arms, trying to
get his attention. But it seemed like an act in vain. He never took his eyes off
of me. It was like he was hypnotically drawn only to me. In another place in
time, I would have thought it was slightly creepy. Now, though I was only
enchanted by his stare, not to mention a little intrigued.
Then with one quick motion I found his hand circling the corners of my lips. His
fingers slowly gliding down my cheek and slid underneath my chin. I could feel
his touch traveling along the sleek flow of my neckline, then to the smooth
region along my chest.
I didn’t know what he was seeking: His fingers...His hands... His touch... All I
did know was... I didn’t want him to stop. My heavy breathing increased the
more he explored my body. It didn’t matter what he said. At that moment, my
being was so infused with lust, that I would have done anything he wished at a
moments notice. Then without any hint of hesitation, he started to probe
underneath the night-shirt that I was wearing, not even giving thought that for
a second that I might protest.
“CRONO!!!!!” I could hear in the background. Marle.. I almost forgotten about
her. I was going to make a comment, but then I noticed through all this time,
never once did Crono even acknowledged her existence. In his eyes I could only
see my reflection.
It was then at that very moment of her cry, did his lips touch mine.
He pulled me into in his arms as he deepened our kiss. His mouth parted as his
warm tongue licked my lips. My eyes widen from the stimulus. We kissed again,
his tongue probing the roof of my mouth, as my tongue massaged his. He pulled me
even closer to his strong frame, his hands massaging my breasts through my
T-shirt. My nibbles harden from his touch. I could feel myself getting wetter
and wetter, every second.
“CRONO!!! LUCCA!!! STOPPITT!!! NO!!!!” I could hear Marle cry. But I
couldn’t...I refused to give up the feeling...The rewarding feeling of bliss.
Crono’s lips then trailed down the sides of my neck. If felt the strength in my
legs give way as his kisses triggered every one of my spots. Then with one hand,
he tore away the flimsy material I was wearing. I was standing there before him,
totally vulnerable...Totally at his mercy...And I all I could think about was
how much I wanted him.
“ARCTIC WINDS AND MALICING STORMS, YOUR MISTRESS SUMMONS YOU! ICE 3!!!” Marle
shouted, as she spoke the words to one of her strongest spells. I knew Marle was
fighting, trying anything she could to get to us. Probably with the hope of
getting some kind of explanation or killing us there on the spot, but the wall
that divided us held firm.
“DAMMIT!!” She cursed, as she continued to hear the moans and groans from our
acts. I could hear girl try the spell again, only to have the same results. Now
all Marle appeared to be doing was try to block out all she was hearing and
seeing, but it proved futile.
Crono pulled me down to the floor on top of him. My smooth white legs straddling
his groin. My wet pussy, gently grinding against his confined organ as I slowly
began to undress him.
I removed him from the dark material he was wearing. Soon his strong muscular
chest was uncovered. My tongue then trailed down the smooth contours of his
pecks. He ran his hand through my violet colored hair, as I my kisses and licks
made their way down to his abs.
“STOP IT!!!!” Marle cried, tears were now streaming down her eyes. “STOP IT!!!
LUCCA!!! CRONO!!! Your....Your...Your suppose to be my friends!! PLEASE!!!” She
pleaded with us again.
Marle tried to shield herself from being a witness...From having to observe our
love making. That’s when the hands appeared. Hands...I didn’t even see faces, I
just saw hands. Grabbing her and forcing her to watch our act. Marle screamed
for Crono. Screamed with all her might, for him to save her. But the hero was
deaf to her pleas.
It was almost like Crono was totally unaware, to the blonde girl’s presence. But
I could. I could see the fear in her eyes. The confusion. The total apathy of
what was taking place before her. For a second the two of us exchanged glances.
Her bright blue eyes were cast into my emerald green ones. Her eyes wanting...
Pleading for some explanation to the madness she was witnessing.
And my answer to the anguishing expression that was held on Marle’s face... I
grinned.
I grinned and laughed. Mocking her as I made her lover my own. Crono’s and my
lips fought for dominance, as the weeping princess was forced to watch. I then
looked down into my lovers eyes and whispered. “Crono, does Marle mean anything
to you?”
Through the hypnotic eyes that Crono held onto me. He managed to shake his head
no. “NOOO!!!” I could hear in the background. I rejoiced...
“So who does your heart belong to?” I asked him, as I clutched him to my breast.
A sharp grin appeared on his face as he spoke my name. He said it again, only
louder this time for all who was listening to hear.
Pleased with his answer. I rewarded my lover with another sensual kiss. I
quickly removed the remainder of his clothes. Then in mere moments both our
naked bodies were grinding and grunting, consumed with our own sexual lust.
His rock hard cock, seeking the warm ecstasy of my pussy. We continued to fuck
for what seemed like hours. All the while Marle was helplessly force to watched.
And eventually, even I started to pass out from exhaustion. As I held Crono in
my arms, we both were lulled away to sleep by the still present dismal cries of
my friend.
****
A clamp of thunder was what awoke Lucca from her sleep. The rain continued to
pour as the recollections of the dream set in.
****
I woke up from the dream in shock. ‘WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?!? How could I think of
such things?!?’ My mind frantically wondered. ‘What kind of monster am I?!?’ I
screamed within my own mind.
Suddenly I looked over to the sleeping form of my friend. Marle who was
peacefully resting. The girl who was totally oblivious to the horrendous and
malicious acts, her friend’s mind created. Friend? I don’t even deserve to be
considered her friend.
“Marle, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry...” I whispered to the resting girl.
Then the room was filled with another sound, besides the rhythmic pattering of
the rainfall.
My weeping...
****
To Be Continued...
