   Lucca looked up at Crono... sweat pouring down from her head.  She swiftly wiped it away with the
back of her hand and smiled up at him.  He closes eyes, turned his head downward a bit and grinned. 

Crono: "Sure is cold at 8:30 isn't it?"

He got up from the floor, walked over to the door and retrieved his headband... he tied it around his head

Lucca: "Yeah, but I finally finished your repairs"

(Had you fooled didn't I? =p)

Crono: "About time... you spent all day on it"

Lucca: "These things take time, Crono"

Crono: "I know... I was just kidding, by the way... Marle came by my house today.  She said she needed
to talk to you about something, about a broken heater."

Lucca: "Poor girl... gets cold this time a year, guess I better go warm her up pretty soon"

Crono looked at Lucca funny

Lucca: "What?"

Crono: "Haha... you need some sleep Lucca... you mean you need to fix her heater, right?"

Lucca: "Of course... what did I say?"

Crono: "Never mind that... I'll see you later, thanks for fixing my sword"

Crono picked up his sword  off the ground and sheathed it, then he turned to lucca... waved at her and
went out her door.  The winter winds were picking up and Crono had to wrap his arms around himself to
shield the mighty winds.  Lucca looked outside and saw him walk back to his house.

Lucca: *poor kid, I should've offered him a ride.. it IS a long walk from here to there out in this
sorta weather* "Well, I need to go over to the Castle and fix that heater... the princess will certainly
freeze without it."

Lucca walked back over in her living room and retrieved her headset that she always wore and put it on.
She looked in the mirror in her room... she spun around showing off her outfit she wore in the days of
Crono and there adventures.  She giggled and retrieved her jacket and tools from under her bed for the 
weather outside.  Lucca opened her door and went out... the winds of the area were blowing stronger then
ever.  The hair that stuck out of her headset blew with the wind, Lucca went around the back of her house
to start up her prototype vehicle that she occasionly used in cold weather.  The car's exterior had a
thick sheet of ice over it... Lucca had to pry the door to get it open... when she finally did... she
started up the car as it made a loud booming noise... a sound that told her that she needed to look at
it when she got back.  She sat the tools in the passenger side of the car, got in.. and shut the door.
Lucca pressed the accelerator and she zoomed off to the castle. 

The Castle wasn't very far from where Lucca lived... she just didn't want to walk in the wind.  With the
car Lucca got to the castle in no time.  She grabbed her tools and got out of the car.  With the heavy
tools... Lucca had a hard time trying to run up the stairs into the castle, two guards that were guarding
the door quickly opened it for Lucca to get inside.  When she got inside... she shivered and thanked the
guards.. who nodded back at her, then closed the door.  Without another word... Lucca walked up to the
royal chamber where the King sat.  

Lucca: "Ah, your highness... the princess has summoned me to fix her heater"

King: "Well well... if it isn't Lucca... I haven't seen you around here in quite some time!  Where have you been?"

Lucca: "Here and there your highness"

King: "Very well... very well... what did you say you came by for again?"

Lucca: "Um.. to fix Princess Nadia's heater, sire"

King: "Oh?  She didn't inform me that it was broken... very well.. good luck to you"

Lucca nodded and headed back.... she took a left turn up to Marle's room, it was up 5 short flights of
stairs.  She climbed them no problem and reached a hallway that connected to her room.  She stopped and
looked around the hall.  It was beautifully decorated with lanterns and other house hold assortments.
Lucca stood fixed on the large doors that were the entrance to Marle's room.  She knocked.... a voice
answered.. Marle's voice

Marle: "You can enter!"

Lucca pushed the door open and entered her enormous room, she looked around to see where Marle was...
but was nowhere to be found.  

Suddenly the door slammed from behind when Lucca was in the room! *WHAM!*

Lucca jumped started.  Marle giggled...

Marle: "Scared ya didn't I?"

Lucca: "Yes, princess.. you did"

Marle: "Haha... even after our adventure you still DARE to call me Princess?!  I'm your friend Lucca!"

Lucca: "Ok, ok.. sorry Marle.  Say, aren't you a bit cold in that?"

Marle: "Nooo.. keeps me warm"

Marle was wearing her silk night gown she wears before bed everynight.. It looked very thick...
but still made Lucca wonder if she was cold or not.

Lucca: "Ok" She smiled.  "Where the heater?"

Marle pointed over in the corner...

Marle: "Over there!"

Lucca went over to the corner of the room and kneeled down to fix it.  

Lucca: "Hmm..."

She looked at it more closely...

Lucca: "Marle... this heater isn't broken... it just isnt..."

Lucca was cut off by the touch of Marle's hands, massaging her shoulders.  

Marle: "Isn't what?"

Lucca gulped...

Lucca: "It.. um.. it's... it's just not, not plugged in... that's all"

Marle: "Oh.. silly me"

Lucca stood up slowly and turned to Marle, she had a compassionate look in her eye

Marle: "Lucca.. I knew the heater wasn't plugged in... I wanted you here for a reason"

Lucca: "What reason would that be?"

Marle leaned really close to Lucca and gently kissed her on her lips... Lucca backed away fast

Lucca: "Marle are you insane?!  Who do you think I am?"

Marle: "You didn't like that just now?"

She walked towards Lucca as Lucca slowly backed away confused

Lucca: "Well.. um.. I dunno"

Marle: "Please tell me the truth"

Lucca: "Well... I um... was just.. so sudden... that's all"

Lucca hit Marle's bed and flung backwards on it with a startled look on her face.
Marle kept advancing toward her...

Marle: "You don't have to be afraid of me Lucca, I'm not afraid of you.... infact, im very...
VERY comfortable around you... you always seem to know what your doing"

Lucca took off her glasses and began to clean them with her shirt.  Her heart beating faster as
Marle got closer made it hard to her to put them back on her face.  Marle reached over and pushed
them away, and put both her arms on either side of Lucca's head... forcing her head down onto the bed.  

Marle: "Calm down Lucca... I'm here for you."

Lucca: "Im just... shocked!  You never told me?"

Marle: "Not with Crono and all his friends around"

Lucca: "What about your father...?"

Marle: "I won't tell him if you don't" she winked at her.

Lucca was still shocked at Marle's rather... "different" approach.  She didn't know what to say...

Lucca: "Wel.. well.. what are you gonna do now?"

Marle leaned down and begin to kiss Lucca on her lips again... Lucca didn't pull back this time...
instead she closed her eyes and began to kiss her back, even began to get turned on by the whole ordeal.
The sweet smell of cherry on Marle's body only made Lucca want her more.  When they finished the kiss...
Marle looked to see Lucca fondling with her sash.

Marle: "Hmm.. you sure are naughty for a first"

Lucca: "I'm a big girl now"

Marle slowly undid the sash to her robe... the weight of it falling down, showing her womanly figure
down at Lucca.   Lucca was astoundished... she had never seen anything so beautiful in her life.  The
strange cherry smell became stronger when she undid her robe, this made Lucca insanely crazy for Marle.  

Lucca: "Marle.. I think I like you"

Marle: "Lucca... I KNOW I love you!" 

they both smiled at each other and kissed once again.  Marle stopped to notice that Lucca still
had her headset on.  She removed it from her head.... revealing her short purple hair.  Lucca rolled
her over to where she was on top of her.  Lucca undid the first button of her shirt and pulled the
whole thing over her head and onto the floor.  She pressed her body against Marles.  Marle pulled
Lucca's shorts off her and onto the floor... leaving nothing but her socks on.  While occupied with
each other... they pulled the covers off her bed and laid in it.  Marle pulled the covers over both
of them and they embraced each other for the long night to come.

After a few hours together... Lucca was fully dressed in what she came in.  Marle was asleep in her
bed... with a slight smile on her face.  Lucca grinned and covered her back up.  She had never felt
so good in her life, while walking toward the door.. she stopped and looked back at her, she would
be back soon... very soon.  Lucca walked out her bedroom and shut the door.  Walking down the dark
hall.. she laughed to herself...

Lucca: "Girls these days..."
