Zomg! I updated AGAIN. And guess what? It's time for this fanfiction to end. Yes, this is the last chapter. I hope you guys like it!!

Reviews make happy campers.
Freakyanimegal: Yeah, the play was just... weird. XD It was WAY too much fun to write.
Mangaluver: Yay for plushies!! And yes. Yuan is PISS drunk. XD
MDF: Yes!! I'm so glad someone caught that. Kratos WAS counting cards. No, seriously. When I was writing it I was like "Kratos was counting cards... wait, no. It's from Yuan's POV in that part, and he wouldn't know that." -gives you a cookie for catching that-
Ruby Tyra: A circle of Tales plushies. I want that!! XD It was a painful play to watch. I hope it wasn't too painful to read. XD I was just having SO much fun with it!!
Meowzy: Tsk, tsk. Yuan was a very bad boy, getting drunk like that. XD I didn't think of calling him Carl. I'm glad you like Karlos tho.
Little-pocketmouse: Thank you for reviewing!! I'm glad you like the story.
Heisui: Gah. I HATE triginometry. Oh, guess what subject I was studying while writing the fanfic. XD

Disclaimer Zelos: Scaff doesn't own Tales of Symphonia. If she did, Seles would have a bigger role in the story.

Kratos ran quickly through the casino. He followed the pushed over chairs and broken glass to the hotel part of the casino. The door was swinging back towards the seraph and he stopped it with his arm. He pushed it to the side like it was nothing and continued his chase. How could a drunk run so fast? The auburn ran down the yellow hall and saw a flash of blue hair enter a hotel room. Kratos smirked: cornered. He dashed to the room and swore. Yuan had locked the door. The auburn banged on the wooden door. "Yuan! Open up this door!!" he called. There was no answer. Kratos called Yuan's name again. Silence drifted into the hallway. There was no one in the long, winding hallway except for the frustrated angel. Red tulips sat in a white vase on a table behind him. Kratos turned at looked at them. He gave a sigh of regret. Red.

Lloyd's favorite colour.

He loved anything red. The toddler used to always pull at Kratos' hair because it was close to red. The only way Kratos could get him to let go was to give him an apple. The boy's eyes would always shine at the sight and grab the apple with his little hands. Kratos dropped his shoulders. What he would give to see his face again. To see him laugh, to see that smile just one more time. He would give everything.

A scream.

Kratos snapped back to reality and spun back to the door. Yuan was in there. And his friend could get into a world of trouble in his intoxicated state. The angel placed a petal in his pocket for strength and ran at the door. The angel pushed with all of his strength into the door and forced it open. Kratos lost his balance and fell to the carpeted ground. The seraph lifted his head up to see Yuan clumsily standing on a windowsill. Panic shot through Kratos. Yuan's wings weren't out. What was he doing?! Kratos pushed himself off of the ground and ran to the window. "Yuan, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"I'm going to save Martel. She's drowning in the water, see? I'm gonna save her! I'm gonna be her –hic- hero!!" Yuan cried. Kratos looked out of the window. No one was there, only water. He grabbed Yuan by the cape and pulled it towards him. Yuan's cape was weakly attached to him though, and when Kratos pulled the cape, his elbow hit Yuan in the back. The half elf fell forwards out of the window. Kratos thrust out his arm but couldn't reach Yuan. He watched in terror as his friend fell to the waters below.

"Yuan! Yuan!!" Kratos jumped out of the window after him. He put his arms in front of him, and with elegant form, he slide into the water. Kratos flinched at the freezing water. The seraph looked around frantically for Yuan. His hair flung into his face at every turn he made. Where was Yuan? The seraph spotted something in his peripheral vision. He looked underneath him to see something floating in the depths. The seraph cut the water with his arms and propelled his way towards it. As he got closer, Kratos could see that it was Yuan. A moment of relief washed over Kratos, and was then replaced with fear. Yuan's eyes were closed. Yuan wasn't moving. Putting his arms around Yuan, Kratos pulled the two of them up to the surface. He released his wings and burst through the water. He tore up to the starry night and paused, looking for a safe place to rest. The garnet eyes decided on the casino's rooftop. He quietly glided there and placed Yuan on the rooftop. He positioned the half elf on his back and placed his ear on his chest. Heart was beating. Soft breaths calmed the angel's ears. He pushed the body. No response. Kratos called his name, but Yuan's eyes stayed closed. Kratos took a deep breath.

SLAP!

Yuan spat some water in Kratos' face. The half elf rubbed his cheek gently and sat up. "What was that for?!" Yuan shouted.

"…"

"Wait… where are we?"

"Casino rooftop."

"I remember… the shitty play… and the casino… and drinking… and Martel?"

"Hallucination."

"I was piss drunk, wasn't I?"

"Correct."

"Crap."

The two sat in silence for a while. The cold air nibbled at the silence quietly. Kratos was the first to speak.

"Why did you do this?"

Yuan looked up at Kratos and stared him straight in the eye. Do what? He jumped in the water because he thought Martel was there, drowning. He saw Martel because he was drunk. He drank because he felt useless. He felt useless because Kratos wasn't having a good time. And he wanted Kratos to have a good time because he was grieving.

"I did it for myself."

"…"

"I also did it for you."

"…"

"But mostly, I did it for Lloyd." Kratos' eyes widened. He suddenly understood Yuan's actions. He wanted to cheer Kratos up. Kratos sighed.

"You know, you don't have to do this. It's not your job to make me feel better."

"Yes I do. I'm your friend. It's what friends do." Kratos stared at Yuan with hard eyes. Then he relaxed and smiled. He smiled a genuine smile of gratitude. Yuan grinned back and gave him a thumbs up.

"Hello Yuan, how are you this morning?"

"Hung-over, but I'm in a good mood. Thank you for asking Botta," Yuan said. He sat himself at his desk in the renegade base and yawned. Botta stood in front of Yuan and awaited further instruction.

"Do you have anything you wish for me to do?" he asked. Yuan rubbed his temples for a moment and then leaned over his desk. He rest his head in his hand and stared Botta straight in the eye.

"As a matter of fact, I do."

"What is it?"

"Botta, I need you to research and give me some information about evil seagulls."

"Evil… seagulls?"

"Yes, that's what I said. I swear Botta, it's a conspiracty!" Botta was about to laugh when he saw that Yuan had a completely serious face.

"Er, I'll do that right away."

"Good. Dismissed."
