UPDATE: New Story, "708 Days". (Luke POV) Luke wonders and worries about the Seventh Fonist who confessed to him right before his leave; making him wonder how she lasted the seeming everlasting two years without his response...and him. A realization of moving forward and making the best of things dawns on him, as well as a promise to stay by her side for 708 days...and for the rest of his life.

Yep, it's another LukexTear oneshot. I can't help it - this is such a nice couple. I actually have a Van and Tear brothersister story in the works, but it's not finalized yet, as well as chapter 5 of my other Tales story being worked on as well. Golden Sun is...well, kind of still being worked on. But I still wish to finish that, so it'll get up soon.

Fav. Quotes:

Tales of Symphonia: DotNW:

"Yes. I am your only guardian, a Knight of Ratatosk." - Emil
"You can say some pretty manly things when you're in Ratatosk Mode, Emil." - Sheena
"Shut up!" - Emil

"Oh Emil I was so scared." - Marta
"You were more scary." - Emil
"What did you say?!" - Marta
"N-nothing." - Emil

"Did you see that?" - Emil
"Yes! I watched the whole thing!" - Marta
"You fight! Not watch!" - Emil

Speaking Ban Part 1:
"Man, that guy reeked to high heaven." - Sheena
"Yes, that was his Eau de Sed-" - Emil
"Sorry to interrupt this fascinating discussion, but if it continues much longer, our enemies are bound to catch up with us." - Tenebrae
"Okay, I get it. You want us to stop talking, right?" - Sheena
"Exactly. I hereby proclaim a ban on speaking." - Tenebrae (saying it in a sing-song voice)

Speaking Ban Part 2:
"I can't stand it! I just can't be so quiet for this long!" - Sheena
"Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but as your profession is akin to that of a spy, I'd imagne that silence would occasionally be essential in your line of work?" - Tenebrae
"You sure talk a lot for a dog." - Sheena
"I am not a dog. I am a Centurion. We Centurions are not summon spirits, nor are animals, but rather-" - Tenebrae
"If we keep yapping like this, we'll get caught." - Sheena
"But..." - Tenebrae
"Speaking ban in effect!" - Sheena

Speaking Ban Part 3:
"My, my, this is wonderful. If only we could travel this quietly all the-" - Tenebrae
"Quiet!" - Emil, Marta, Sheena, Regal
"Oh right, my apologies." - Tenebrae

(I love the Speaking Ban skits XD)

"Sheena! I'm starving! Aren't you?" - Marta
"Yeah, I guess." - Sheena
"Marta, are you listening? Hey!" - Emil
"Tenebrae! Are you picking up anything about Rilena's whereabours?" - Marta
"I'm afraid that is impossible. She would need to have a connection to Lord Ratatosk." - Tenebrae
"Come on, Marta!" - Emil
"Regal! We should really be getting back to see Director Schneider, right?" - Marta
"Yes." - Regal (sighs)
"Damn it! Enough is enough!" - Emil

Get Your Words Straight:
"Dearest Marta, am I glad to see you safe and sound! If we lost you, I'm not sure the people of this world would ever be the same." - Zelos
"That's a bit over the top." - Marta
"No, Marta dear. You simply don't know your own value. You are far more lovely than any blossom. You sparkle more brightly than any diamond." - Zelos
"U-um..." - Marta
"Sorry, Marta. Looks like the last of his screws finally came loose." - Sheena
"Was I talking to you, Sheena? You don't have anything going for you but your chest." - Zelos
"I'm gonna smack you for that!" - Sheena (smacks him before she says this)
"Ouch! Hold on. That was a kick! Get your words straight!" - Zelos

"I love you, Collette." - Lloyd (FINALLY!)

(part of the "Army of Spies" skit)
"I know Regal would never make anything dangerous. I'll bet whatever they make here is really fun!" - Collette
"What makes you say that? The security in this place is pretty extreme." - Zelos
"I've got it! They must be for training spies." - Collette
"Spies?" - Emil
"Yeah, that has to be it! I'll be they're training an army of spies to hide in cardboard boxes and steal top secret info from rival companies." - Collette
(LOL, there was a Metal Gear Solid reference in Collette's lines XD)

Tales of the Abyss:

Let's Go to Yulia City Skit:

"At least we know where he went now!" - Mieu
"Yeah." - Luke
"And Tear's in Yulia City too!" - Mieu
"Who said anything about Tear?" - Luke
"Mieu? Don't you want to see her?"
Well yeah...I want to...I mean, I want to see everybody!" - Luke
"Do you want to see Tear or not?" - Mieu
"I said everybody, not just Tear! Come on, we're going! B-Besides, if we miss Asch, we'll have to go find him again!" - Luke
"Mieu? What are you angry about?" - Mieu
"Look, you're getting on my nerves today!" - Luke
"What did I do...?" - Mieu

Second Visit to Tataroo Valley:
"I didn't see anything like a Sephiroth the last time we were here." - Luke
"It was night. We may have missed something." - Tear
"Ohh? Night? In a place like this? Just the two of you?" - Anise
"Luke! You never told me you and Tear had that sort of relationship!" - Natalia
"W-Wait a minute! What are you talking about?! It wasn't like that. We got blown out of the manor in Baticul and-" - Luke
"The very idea is absurd." (walks a few feet ahead) "What are you doing? Come on." - Tear
"...Now I'm mad." - Luke
"Damn, that was cold..." - Guy
"Yes, it was." - Jade
"You sound like you're having fun, Colonel." - Guy
"More than you could ever imagine." - Jade (smiling)
"...You're horrible." - Guy

Natalia's Future Husband Skit:
"I wonder whether Father will choose Asch or Luke..." - Natalia
"Huh? That should be up to you, right? Asch, with a zillion wrinkles from a hard life...or Luke, with a zillion wrinkles from moping around all day. Whatever floats your boat." - Anise
"...It's more like wrinkles from getting mad at stupid chicks." - Luke
"S-So which do you like, Natalia?" - Tear (A/N: I bet she was worried that Natalia would say Luke...ha)
"I...that is...you can't expect me to answer that! Besides, it's Father that will decide, not me." - Natalia
"...It'll be Asch, anyway. Don't worry about it. The arrangment was with the original Luke." - Luke
"Nobody said anything about that! Besides, perhaps I don't like either Luke or Asch!" - Natalia
"Huh? So what. Guy, then?" - Tear
"Or maybe even the Colonel?" - Anise
"Hey, stop teasing her. Look how frustrated she is." - Guy (A/N: what a nice person.)
"Booooo. Love is what girls always talk about!" - Anise

Consoling Tear Skit:
"Tear...aren't you pushing yourself?" - Luke
"No, I'm not." - Tear
"Luke. Do you think there's actually anyone in the world who'd say, "Yes, I'm pushing myself"? You're so dumb!" - Anise
"Yes, there are many other things you could have done. Everyone knows you have no skill with words, so perhaps put an arm on her shoulder..." - Natalia
"Or hold her, without saying a word." - Guy (smiling)
"I don't need YOU telling me that." - Luke
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make all of you worry..." - Tear
"Not at all. We're enjoying it." - Jade
"You're the only one enjoying anything!" - Luke

Ant Lion Man Sidequest at Nam Cobanda Isle:
"Here's yet another one of these guys. Is he the same as the others?" - Luke
"Looks like it." - Guy
"Is it trendy now to act like Ant Lion Men or something?" - Anise
"I don't know, but I certainly hope not." - Jade
"If we give this Ant Lion Man something, will he give us something in return, too?" - Tear
"Yes! You! Who is most important?" - Ant Lion Man
(Tear Choice)
"Tear, I guess..." - Luke
"He said it! He causually said it!" - Anise
"That's what I always thought." - Natalia
"Hah Hah. I thought so." - Guy
"My sympathies, Tear." - Jade
"Luke! Wh-what are you...Aaaaah!" - Tear
"H-Hey! What did you do with Tear?!" - Luke
"You, give Gald. Me, give back! You no give Gald, me no give back important person!" - Ant Lion Man
"How much do you want?!" - Luke
"76,500 Gald!" - Ant Lion Man
"Dammit! Fine, take it!" (gives Gald) "Now where's Tear?!" - Luke
"...She outside." - Ant Lion Man
(outside)
"Th-that was startling. What's going on?" - Tear
"Tear! Are you okay?" - Luke
"Yes...I think." - Tear
"Phew...I was seriously worried." - Luke
"What...?" - Tear
(Both blush)
"Uh, I mean, uh...y-you know, if we lost all your equipment, that would suck..." - Luke
"...Oh. Well, you can relax. The equipment's safe." - Tear
"...R-Right...(Thinking: 'I'm such an idiot...)" - Luke

(Jade Choice for Ant Lion Man)
"Jade, I guess." - Luke
"...Is that an attempt to harass me?" - Jade
"Hey! I might be grateful to you, you know!" - Luke
"...No way." - Anise
"...He's lying." - Tear
"...You liar." - Guy
"...That must be a lie." - Natalia
"..." - Luke
"Okay." - Ant Lion Man
"..." - Jade
"...Wh-what the? Where's Jade?" - Luke
"If you give Gald, me give back!" - Ant Lion Man
"What?! You took Jade?! Are you insane?" - Luke
"Friends, before us stands a paragon of courage!" - Anise
"Hah Hah. Want to just run away?" - Guy
"That's not a bad idea." - Luke
"How can you say such a thing?! We must rescue the Colonel!" - Natalia
"Natalia's right." - Tear
"Well, all right. How much do you want?" - Luke
"76,500 Gald!" - Ant Lion Man
"...Fine, here." (Gives Gald) "So, where's Jade?" - Luke
"...He outside." - Ant Lion Man
(outside)
"Jade! Are you okay?" - Luke
"Yes, I'm sorry to report I'm just fine." - Jade
"Sorry to report? What are you..." - Luke
"You all seemed so keen on leaving without me." - Jade
"Y-you heard that..." - Luke
"Oh, that's quite all right, Luke. You don't have to do that. I do appreciate the sentiment, but I can't possibly accept your offer to become an experimental test subject as an apology." - Jade
"...No one said anything about doing that." - Luke
(A/N: Jade is so heartless...)
