Hey people! glares from audience I am SOOOO sorry! There were so many problems on my computer! You wouldn't believe what happened! First, my darn computer made me lose ALL OF FILES! YES! THAT INCLUDES THE THIRD CHAPTER FOR FOREVER AND FOR ALWAYS PEOPLE! Luckily, I had this chapter on a floppy disk! Then, you wouldn't believe this; the computer I use wouldn't let me log in to ANYTHING! YES! THAT INCLUDES THIS ACCOUNT! Thus, I had to suffer not being able to get on here! Well, that was until I had enough guts to sneak on to my Dad's computer and use it, and here I am! I AM SOOO SORRY! It also didn't help having schoolwork either.

Sheena's POV

Zelos has been acting weird lately. He's been talking to me, and every time someone casually points out that he has daughters, he just shrugs and starts talking to me again. I mean, I don't mind that he's okay with suddenly being a father, but it's unusual. I've seen the soap operas, and usually, the person who didn't know usually is pissed. I wasn't expecting this.

I walked around aimlessly in the snow, thinking for awhile. Lately, I've been with Colette in The Church of Martel, and I'm not sure if Martel can actually hear me. I've been praying to her for an answer, but this one question is coming to my head. Why won't she help me? I'm lost, no one understands. Presea can't help; her mother and father are dead and were in a different situation. Colette can't help me, or Raine. SOMEONE HELP ME!

I closed my eyes, letting the snow fall on me. Maybe I should just run away. That thought had always come to mind, but it was too late. I told him, and he knows where Mizuho is. He'll find a way to get in, stupid Chosen.

Zelos's POV

Yes! Victory belongs to the sexy, me! I'm almost done with the plan! Oh yea! I couldn't help but keep smiling, this was great. Soon…hopefully, I can reveal myself to my kids! THANK YOU MARTEL!

I walked to the lobby of the Inn, ready to get my suit for the dinner. Phase one of my plan was to get Celsius tears wrapped around Penguinists feathers made into some sort of material that would protect Sheena, and send them to her with a note, and a dress. The note shall say that I wish to meet her at Midnight at one of those really fancy restaurants. I treat her out, soften her up, and show that we're making peace! Perfect! I'll have her wrapped around my finger, she won't expect a thing!

As I rounded the corner, I heard a short conversation. My curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't help but listen.

"Sir Wilder seems happy." said a maid.

"Oh yes, I hear he has finally seen his beloved Sheena! Oh, I wish I could be able to see my beloved!" Another maid said.

"Yes, but Sheena seems so sad! What's wrong with her?" said the first maid.

"How should I know? Perhaps she's just having her monthly period." said the second maid.

"Probably," The first maid said, "Maybe it has something to do with Sir Wilder?"

"I do not know." The second replied and both returned to their work.

I blinked, what did I do? What did I do? That question kept floating around my mind. I sighed as I thought of my plan. Maybe I should wait…NO! Ignored that last thought and leave for the store!

Sheena's POV

I've been thinking over on my situation. That Zelos, why did I have to be such an idiot and fall for him? I mean, it just doesn't sound right! Anyways, everyone heard about Minnie and Mina. They knew I'm afraid. I hope I don't get sent to a tower. I shudder at these thoughts.

I was silent as I sipped my tea in my room, near a window, all wrapped up. I couldn't help but keep to myself about this. I dare not utter the situation to Minnie or Mina. There's so many things that they should never know.

"Sheena, are you okay?" I heard Colette asked behind.

I nodded, "I'm just thinking, where's Minnie and Mine?" I inquired without looking at her. My eyes were watching the snow as it fell. I was always envious of snowflakes, they had such a natural beauty in them that one could never have.

"They're fine, don't worry." Colette assured as she left I figured.

I sighed, everything seemed so different today. If I didn't come here, I would probably be watching over Mizuho, Minnie and Mina would be carefree and not locked up in their rooms. They wouldn't be worried about their Daddy, when they're going to meet him, who he was.

But that was all is all in the past. I told them that they're going to meet their Daddy, I came here, and now I'm lost. I sipped more of my tea and gazed off into space, until a voice brought me back to reality.

"Package for Sheena Fujibayashi," I heard a maid squeak.

"Put it on my bed please." I said politely, I turned around, seeing a large box and a bouquet on my bed. I blinked and looked at it in wonder. 'Who would send me a gift anyway?' I thought for a moment, my first guess was Zelos. 'Of course,' I thought again.

"Sheena?" I heard Presea say, "What is that?"

"I think Zelos got this for me." I replied timidly as I examined the flowers. They were…Celsius Tears… I touched the wrapping around them; they were made of Penguinists feathers. A small smile appeared.

"Hey Sheena," Colette said as she bounced back in, "Who're they from?" She asked with Raine behind her.

"I think they're from Zelos…" I replied again as my face grew red, I didn't notice the card or the other box. I just knew it was from him.

Zelos's POV

I smiled to myself as I heard Raine, Colette, Presea, and Sheena coo at the presents. Perfect.

"Sheena, did you open the card yet?" I heard Colette ask.

I frowned; she didn't open my beautiful card! I brushed it off, leaving. I already heard most of their reactions needed.

Presea's POV

I smiled at Sheena reaction. She seemed happy. I then noticed the other present, while she, Colette, and Raine read the card. It was a white box with a red ribbon tied around it.

"Sheena, open this one." I suggested as I took the box and handed it to her.

Sheena flushed; she wasn't used to this I supposed. She gave me a nod and sat down after taking the box and opened it. My eyes widen as I saw her take the dress out. It was a midnight red colored, sleeveless dress with a v cut style for the neckline, a total sign of Zelos. It seemed like Sheena's size, and it would look nice on her, we found a matching red shawl. Another box was in the box that contained the dress.

"Wow!" Colette said as Sheena laid the dress on the bed, and Sheena saw the box and a pair of white gloves.

I encouraged Sheena to open the box, which she did, and saw something we weren't ready for. Sheena opened the box to see a large assortment of jewels. I couldn't help but stare, and neither could the others. But there was one jewel that caught everyone's eyes. It was a locket, with a diamond in the middle. Sheena quietly took it and opened it. It held a picture of Sheena and Zelos when they were on one of their journeys before Sheena left.

I could see Sheena's eyes well up in tears; it was a happy picture I knew for sure. Both of them were pretty close to each other, and were side by side, Sheena leaning against Zelos with a happy smile. I could tell why she was about to cry now.

But before anyone could see Sheena cry, she blinked the tears away and hid her eyes as she went through the jewels. I saw a ruby ring, not an engagement ring for sure; a diamond bracelet; and other goods.

"Oh Sheena, there's another note!" Colette exclaimed, Raine and I have been quiet for this part. I felt a little bad for Raine, she had no one, and everyone else was finding someone to love. But Raine did find a love, she found her mother, she had her brother and ruins of course.

Sheena took the note, and said in a quiet voice. "Sheena, dare to go out for dinner? Pick you up around eight; please wear some of the presents I have sent you. Someone will come at 5 to help you get ready. Zelos," Sheena said quietly said, and looked up at the time. It was only 4:50.

"I guess we'll have to wait for the Stylist." I suggested as I sat down on the bed, away from Sheena's stuff in hope of not wrinkling them.

"I suppose so." Sheena said, sitting down next to me, her face still a bit red from the attention.

Five more minutes until the person comes. I wonder who the person will be like, Sheena seems nervous. I couldn't blame her though, everything is going so fast. One minute to go. Another minute passed, the person should be here.

Someone knocked on the door; Sheena got up and opened the door. Out came a woman with brown skin, brown eyes, and brown hair with copper highlights. Her hair was down to her shoulders, and she had a look of beauty in her. She wore a light shade of lipstick, and lip gloss. She wore black eyeliner and a nice shade of red for her eye shadow. Her eyebrows were plucked or waxed perfectly, and her ears were pierced, now wearing a pair of earrings that were diamonds. She wore a red long sleeved shirt, a pair of black jeans, and high heel boots that made her taller. She looked, well if you asked me, mature. She brought with her though, two large bag, and when she opened it, we saw that it was all her supplies.

'What has Zelos sent us?' I thought bewildered. I just hope this lady isn't going to start painting Raine, Colette, and I! I pray for Sheena's safety.

"So, who's the lucky girl I shall work on?" The woman said with a sneaky smile, now I'm worried.

Sheena's POV

I have the right to be alarmed right? I mean this Lady is treating me like her doll! I'm no doll, lady! Okay, I don't mind the treatment, but I mean, oh Martel, no! She's coming out with those little scrubbing things for a pedicure! I can't keep the laughter from coming up! Ah hah ha, stop! Lady! Stop the scrubbing!

Okay, she stopped, thank Martel. Well, here's the thing. This lady, who looks flawless in beauty, is so strict and so ridiculous! She's waxing my eyebrows, waxing my LEGS! EW! Then, she began putting cucumbers on my eyes and put this cold cream on my face! I mean, yea, I understand she wants me to look beautiful, but really! All I thought I would need was eyeliner or whatever that is called or eye shadow. What's the difference between those two anyway?

Now she's going a bit crazy, she's making me wear these high heel boots later, and making me listen to this terrible music. She's making me feel sleeping! Is that what the music is for? Make me go to sleep? Then, she said that she'll start my hair later. Ugh, I want to scream, badly. But she duct tape on my face, this lady meant business.

I think the music is really getting to me, because right about now, I feel sleepy. I think I yawned with my mouth closed, is that possible? Oh well, I'll just close my eyes, this lady can work on me while I sleep. Night everyone, don't let the Stylist bite.

Raine's POV

I watched as Sheena transform before my eyes. It was quite spectacular, when I first met her, she was so young. She seemed different though as she transformed. When I first met her, I did not like her or trust her. To me, she was an enemy. I thought she wanted to kill Colette and I was right. But as time went on, I got along with her. I just can't believe her transformation now. It seemed so…creepy.

The stylist's name was Desiree, and if I remember correctly, it means desire. I could tell though that Sheena was freaked out, too bad we couldn't preserve it forever. That would have been great. But Desiree is kind of…frightening. She seemed like one of those prissy, haughty, and well, stuck up people. I could tell she was human though, it was pretty obvious if you asked me.

Sheena's POV

"Ms. Fujaybiyashi, open your eyes." I heard the stylist say, waking me up.

I opened my eyes, and looked in the mirror. I looked, well, classy. My black, unruly hair was now down, showing how long it really is, which went to my chest. The Stylist made my hair into soft waves, and put little makeup as far as I could see.

I looked at myself. I glowed with beauty, I saw that my eyes shone with dark brown eyeliner and dark reds as eye shadow. My cheeks were now rosy, and my lips were painted with a soft red shade of lipstick and lip gloss. I couldn't help but glow with a small sense of pride.

I usually don't even care about my looks, but maybe it's something all women have in them when they are all dolled up. I couldn't help but smile, the Stylist squealed. Oh joy.

"Now go put your dress on!" She ordered, grabbing my dress and quickly handing it to me before shoving me into the bathroom so I can get change.

I looked at myself in the mirror, I touched my cheek with my right hand. This seemed so unreal. I couldn't believe that this was actually happening. Everything seemed so unreal.

Zelos's POV

I gazed off into space as I sat in front of my window. I was ready for the date and planned on leaving earlier to surprise Sheena with more gifts. Lloyd and Genis were laughing behind my back about my plans, but they were so naïve. Lloyd is still dense, and Genis is still a brat, idiots.

I looked at the time, it was time to go. I sighed and walked over to the door, grabbing my coat, and left my room. The maids were talking about me and I knew it. Oh well, I'll just talk to them later, I have a Maiden from Mizuho to entertain.

Sheena's POV

I walked out of the bathroom and got ready for the stares, but I didn't know that there was silence. My eyes were closed and I didn't want to open them but I did. I saw that the Stylist was almost in tears, Raine and Presea was struck with awe, Colette was in shock. Did I look that bad?

But I heard Presea say something in a proud, happy, faint voice, "You look splendid, Sheena," That made me want to cry with the Stylist of Doom.

I smiled, and nodded. All four of them sat me down, the Stylist asking me what I wanted to wear for the jewelry and handing one to one of us. In a few minutes, I wore the locket that Zelos gave me, a beautiful pair of white diamond earrings, a white diamond bracelet, and a white, diamond cut, simple ring that was on my middle finger.

"Go get him!" Presea, Colette, and Raine cheered out as I left with a smile.

Zelos, ready or not, here I come.

I'm extremely sorry about the delay. For those who are reading Forever and for Always, I promise I'll get the third chapter rewritten! I'm super sorry! Since its summer, I'm most likely going to write more. I am SOOOO sorry about the delay!
