"I have no idea... But there has to be some way to find them..." John said as he approached the rheiard and sat on it, breathing heavily. "We'll just... Find a way..." He groaned, heaving forward suddenly, his eyes closing and his face landing on the handlebars of the machine, apparently the trek and all the fighting having taken a severe toll on his body. He lied there for several seconds before opening his eyes. "I'm... I'm still alive..." He mumbled.

~~~~~

'... But... But...' Anna's stomach growled and she sat back down. 'Urgh... Hey... Do I smell soup?' She asked with a blink. 'I could really go for some soup... With whipped cream on top... And dried pepper flakes... And chocobo meat... Wait... What the heck is a chocobo?' She asked with a blink, her head spinning.

"Yes, well, Grandma made some, but I can make it how you like! ... I'll even find a chocobo! Whatever the hell that is..." Glenn told her before getting out of bed and dressing. "Okay... so I can't leave you here. I'm sorry, but I can't trust you around wood. So... you're coming along. We are going downstairs, okay?"

~~~~~~~~

"JJ..." Serenade muttered as she rubbed his back, feeling extremely worried. "We're not going. We're going home instead. I can't leave you like this, Dear. Okay? You need rest... hell, I need rest. We just... I don't want you falling in anymore pain," she told him before holding him close. "So would you like me to drive it?"

John opened his eyes, his breathing heavy and shallow at the same time. "I'll... I'll be okay..." He said, taking a dry gulp and starting the engine. "I just... The netherworld... It took more of my strength than I would like to admit." He told her. "Just... Don't worry... Give it just a little time... And then I'll be back up to speed... Just you wait." He told his wife while turning and giving her a weak smile. "Don't worry about me."

~~~~~

'... I can be good! Please trust me! I don't wanna get up! My feet are swollen my back aches and my boobs are sore, so don't make me get up!' Anna pleaded, frowning and clenching the sheets. 'You get me soup and be happy about it! I promise I won't eat the bed! I'll even pinkie swear not to do it!' She said, holding out her pinkie.

"I still don't trust you. You could cross you other fingers, like you did before. I knew," Glenn pointed out as he grasped her hand. "I'll even carry you," he pointed out. "Last time you said you didn't and made me do this, you practically ate the entire bed. No. Just no. Now, will you at least let me carry you?"

~~~~~~~

"No... we're going home. Now. I can't let you do this," Serenade ordered as she clung to him. "Please, let's just go home and rest, and then we can move on tomorrow and tell them. I'm begging of you for once, okay? You're not well!!!" she barked with tears forming in her eyes. "Don't be so fucking stupid!"

'... No, you're hurt. I won't let you carry me! You'll drop me and then you'll kill the baby!' Anna whined, holding out her other hand to show she wasn't crossing her fingers. 'Now let me stay here or else... Or else I'll catch you on fire or something, you big jerk...' She said, flailing. 'No... I'll eat the bed if you don't let me stay!' She warned, giving some crazy person's ultimatum. And then she vomited. She vomited all over the bed with a groan, then she vomited all over her wounded beau.

~~~~~

"I'm fine... Please trust me." John said with a small wince. "I can do it... As I said... I'm just a little drained from the underworld, I told you... Once we start flying... I WILL feel better." He told her, setting into the air and flying up to a point where there was a warm breeze. "Seres... We need to do this... And you need to talk to them... They are your parents, after all." He told her, starting to fly ahead and head in the direction of Grand Chokmah. It was a good a hunch of any. John turned back for a second and wiped Serenade's tears. "I'll be okay. Just believe me... And believe in me."

"... Okay... I believe you... you asshole..." Serenade said with a cracked voice, hating to back down. She gripped onto his body as she thought of how to speak with her parents. She had not seen them in so long, after all. Not only that, but they are raising Reis' and Valor's child, who disappeared so long ago. "Ah, Grand Chokmah... strange how they would choose such an area. Then again, it was it was where Alma was raised so..."

~~~~~~~~

"Okay, okay Anna! You win! Don't eat the bed, I'm begging of you!" the man whined before he was vomited on. "Ew... Well, I'm going to probably change into some new clothes and probably take a shower. Uh... I'll make you some soup beforehand. Now you be good okay?" he asked before sighing and grabbing some clothing right next to them, hoping that she would keep to her word.

Anna nodded, squatting on the bed and rocking right there, hiccuping a bit with a little vomit coming up from it. She hesitantly swallowed it, then looking around and waiting. As he left, she did stop to stare at the bedpost. 'Must... Listen... To him...' She motioned, squeezing her eyes shut and rocking quickly back and forth. 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!' She screamed... Metaphorically. And then she punched the bed.

And she split it in half. With her fist. Because she was trained in martial combat. Even though she NEVER took advantage of that fact.

~~~~~

"Yeah... But... You know... I don't think we ever really told them who we are... Did we? I mean, by the time we had found them, they were just a little bit... Well, we were all busy with the whole... Equinox bit..." John sighed as he started to land in the city, which was still in the middle of rebuilding.

"I know... We need to, I suppose. It's time to do that. Maybe we'll get to know them... though we wouldn't have long... would we?" Serenade whispered as she hugged John closer. She eyed the city, which caused her to smile. "Wow, that looks extremely pretty... I mean, I know it's getting there... maybe we should help after all of this. You know, put in a little community service."

~~~~~~~~~

"WHOA!" Glenn shouted as he emerged with the soup. "Augh... did you really.... really... aw man, my mom..." he groaned before putting the large bowl of soup to the side. "Okay, you need to get away from there. I can make you up a makeshift chair or bed..." he said as he did just that for her. "There we go."

Anna sniffed and took a big bite from the soup and groaned. She then looked at him. As she watched him take the bed and repair it, she continued to eat, then held out the bowl. 'More please.' She said with a frown. In the ten seconds it had taken the young man to repair the bed, she had finished an entire giant bowl of soup, practically leaving nothing at all. In fact, she may have even licked the bowl clean. And then she passed out again.

~~~~~

"Yeah... Maybe throw a little of the Lazareno money into hiring some contractors to help with the rebuilding effort too." He said as he walked over to a fountain where a man in a military uniform was laying down some bricks. "You know... Everything here looks so peaceful... Nobody knows what's going to happen... We should... We should do something... We should tell someone... Shouldn't we?" He asked.

"Yeah... well that is why we are here, aren't we?" Serenade asked softly as she followed after him, feeling suddenly shy. Ever since she lost her powers... she felt that she lost all her confidence. "Dearest? What if they have moved? I can't tell if they are here or not... I can't sense anything," she groaned as she closed her eyes. "I hate it... I hate being in this situation, JJ. I just hope we can find them and get leads."

~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, Anna..." Glenn said with a chuckle as he grasped the bowl and walked downstairs. With a sigh, he filled another bowl and kept it warm with his mana, making sure that it will last. After going back to the room, he set down the bowl and rubbed the woman's shoulder for a moment. With a smile he tucked her in with new covers he made himself and stretched. "Man, I have some work to do. I can't rest all day... gotta train. I have to take him down."

Anna groaned and pulled a straw from somewhere. She stuck it in the soup and started to slurp it up quietly, feeling completely delirious, perhaps simply because she was all but passed out by this point. As she lied there, she started to dream odd dreams where she was in twisty turvy land. She continued to walk around until... She found Glenn.

"Glenn!" She cried out, able to speak in her dreams.

~~~~~

"Well... They have to be a little famous around here, don't they?" John pointed out. "I guess we just need to ask someone, right?" He asked as he approached the soldier. Before he got there, he turned around to face his wife. "Hey... Seres... Are you doing okay?" He asked. "You're... You're not seeming yourself..." He said. "I mean... You're acting awfully subdued..."

"I'll be fine," Serenade replied softly as her ears were bent back. "I just... have been exhausted. That's all... he really got me good..." she said as she eyed the soldier. "Don't worry so much about me. After all, you do not want me to worry over you, right?" she asked as she stayed behind him. "Just... a bit... conscious. That's all."

~~~~~~~~

"Huh? Oh, hey!" Glenn waved over to her with a smile. He then walked over to her with a spring in his step as he seemed to be perfectly healthy and no where near in pain. It was as if nothing had happened to him. With a quick grasp, he pulled Anna into his arms and grinned. "So, how've you been? Been awhile, hm?" he asked, most likely referring to when he was lost on another world.

"You're just acting strangely, that's all." John said. "You're acting like you've lost a part of yourself." He said. "And to be honest... I just... I kind of miss you acting yourself, that's all." He said as he approached the soldier. "Right, okay." He said, tapping the man on the shoulder. "Excuse me, can you help us with something?" He asked her.

"Hm?" The man asked, turning around and taking a deep breath. "... What is it?" He asked John.

~~~~~

"... You... You idiot..." Anna said, tearing up. "You... You left me all alone... Where were you... WHERE WERE YOU!?" She shouted, suddenly growing to the size of a skyscraper and starting to stomp at him while breathing fire and chomping at him with her hand teeth.

"AHHH!" came Glenn's voice... from downstairs.

"Gah, what the hell was that. Scared the crap out of me..." Glenn groaned as he clenched his chest for a mere moment. "I... should probably check up on her," he said as he finished eating his sandwich. Quickly running upstairs, he entered the room to see her still sleeping. "Phew... okay... just probably my imagination...." he whispered before shaking his head. He then searched around for a moment to find his necklace and gloves, and after a few moments, he managed to find the equipment. Slipping them on, he stretched and sighed. "Okay Leo, you're going to go down... no matter what."

~~~~~~~~

"I know I'm acting strange... I can't help it..." Serenade admitted, knowing that could have been true. She could have very well lost a piece of herself during that battle. She felt extremely timid and no longer harsh. She cursed herself for it. "W-we're searching for Alma and Zach... do you know where they could be?" she asked with curious eyes.

"The magistrate's daughter and her husband?" THe man asked, crossing his arms. "They're here and there, but to be honest, I don't know where they are at the moment. I think they're taking the day off... At their home... It's a hidden cave somewhere from what I've heard... But they like to come by air, so I have no idea where it is." He told the two.

John looked to Serenade and nodded. "A cave, huh? Lucky we live in a world that's technically an RPG. A livable cave... There aren't really a whole lot of those... Heck, we should be able to find them in under half an hour if they live close by!"

~~~~~

Anna continued her rather vivid dream and continued chasing him.

"NOW YOU G3T TO B3 TH3 BABY! DRINK YOUR DAMN MILK, BABY! DRINK IT ALL UP!" SH3 ROAR3D WITH THE FURY OF A THOUSAND R3D HOT SUNS. TH3N SHE ATE GL3NN AND GNASH3D HIM B3TW33N H3R T33TH. "OM. NOM. NOM. BOYFR3IND TAST3S OF D3LICIOUS D3LICIOUSN3SS." SH3 ROAR3D. "I N3V3R STOP 3ATING BOYFR3IND!"

"Anna... Anna!" Glenn whispered as he grasped the woman's arm and shook her gently. "Hey, please wake up... Your soup's ready... you're hungry, right?" he asked worriedly as placed a hand onto her cheek. "Hopefully you're okay... Or not having a really fucked up dream about me again..."

~~~~~~~~

"Half an hour? Well with the rheiard, probably. But I can't sense them, so it could take us a little while," Serenade explained. "After all, it's hidden, no matter what the case may be... hell, it could be underwater and we would not know it!" she cried out before stepping back, grabbing her head with a hand. "We should probably just go though. Thank you for the info, Sir," she told the man who provided them the information.

As Glenn shook the woman, she opened her eyes, which seemed a bit hazy and tired. She immediately lunged forward and took a huge chomp out of his nose, though not one that was hard enough to break the skin, and furthermore, since she didn't pull away from the man's face, she didn't rip away any of his flesh. No, she simply latched onto the nose like some giant leech until she opened her eyes fully and then looked at him. 'Uh... Hi?' She asked with a blink.

~~~~~

The man nodded, then placed a hand to the fountain, where he had spent time laying down cement, and in a flash, it had all hardened and fallen solid. He then brushed off his hands. "By the by, you should tell them that her father wishes to see her." He said.

"Hm... Ah... Sure." John said with a blink. He then hugged Serenade. "Alright, let's go, dear." He told her. "You're right... But I don't think they'll be living underwater." He said, shaking his head. "Well, come on!" He said, getting onto the machine. "We'll find them." He assured her.

Glenn blinked, seeing his girlfriend's mouth latched onto his nose. "Uh... hi to you too, Anna. Mind... explaining what happened?" he asked as he placed a hand to the back of her neck, his eyes still having widened when he met her eyes. Of course he would feel shocked and confused. His girlfriend was acting like a leech! What was going on here!?

"I... also brought you more soup...?"

~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm sure we will, sometime soon," Serenade said softly as she kissed John's cheek, one arm wrapped around him. Before long, they were in the air, sailing away from Grand Chokmah. "I feel very nervous really meeting them... I wonder what they are even really like. I mean, I don't know. We've met them, haven't we?" she asked. "Then there is the convincing them of fighting Leo... Ugh, so much to do, so little time."

"Hopefully they'll be a bit less selfish about it." John said as he started flying and following any faces large enough to have any form of a cave that would be large enough to be capable of supporting a small family. Or at least two young adults and a three year old kid. "Hm... Hey, do you think that could be it?" He asked after searching for about an hour. He started to fly down, noticing that the tide was down. "Hey... You know... I think we may have passed by here earlier today... I don't remember seeing a cave here then..."

~~~~~

'Ehh?' Anna asked with a blink, sitting there and staring wide eyed for several seconds before finally pulling away. 'I dunno.. Wait... What's happening now?' She asked, scratching her head. 'Um... But I'm not hungry anymore... Or am I... I don't know... I'm kinda really confused here...' She said before yawning. 'So.......... What's up?' She asked, seeming really stupid and ditsy. Probably pregnancy hormones at work.

"I uh... Nothing... much?" Glenn blinked as he wanted to announce what he was planning to do. "Ugh... hey, will you be okay if I leave you here for a little while?" he asked as he smiled. "I just want to see if everything is alright and okay. Don't worry, I won't get into too much trouble! I promise!" Glenn begged her as he clasped his hands. "Ooooor am I not allowed to even go to check up on them? I mean... if you promise to stay safe I can bring you along! I mean, Mom was still acting her normal self when she was pregnant with me..." he said, feeling upset as he spoke.

~~~~~~~

"Well, that is because it's low tide... but that doesn't make sense... wouldn't they be flooded in half the time?" Serenade asked as she held her stomach with her small hands. "So let's go in anyway. It'll be a while before high tide, and I want to barge in without a second thought. So, shall we?" she asked her husband as her tail flicked rather eagerly.
