Golden Sun – Mercury, Mars, and Venus

Chapter 3 – Venus Adept's Feelings

A week had passed since the Mars Lighthouse was lit, releasing Alchemy over Weyard. The Valeans had decided to rebuild their old peaceful village like the way it was near its old location with the help from the eight Adepts. The only livable building was the inn as the mayor had suggested so that the other villagers could stay in the inn while their houses were being rebuilt.

It was almost noon and most of the villagers were working on the construction on the houses and mostly the inn. Ivan and Piers were at Kraden's room in the inn, trying to find out any effects after the Golden Sun event. Sheba was by the inn's entrance, looking up at the roof as Isaac and Felix were working on the roof after Garet fell when he was helping them.

"Feliiix… Do you want some help?" Sheba asked from below, looking at the brown-haired Venus Adept.

Felix left his place and carefully walked over to edge, feeling annoyed, "The only help you can give me now is to shut up and let us work in peace!" Felix tried to calm himself down, "Look, this job is better suited for us guys. Little girls should stay out of this!"

Felix was about to get back to work, but stopped and sighed in annoyance as he heard the young Jupiter Adept yell, "LITTLE!? How rude!" Sheba walked away from the inn and headed towards the river angrily, as seen by Felix and Isaac, but she was being playfully angry, 'Felix looks really handsome when he's annoyed or angry…'

Felix saw Sheba walked off and let out another sigh before turning to Isaac, "I'll be right back. I can tell that Sheba only wants my attention and that's what she always do to get it. Do you want me to get someone else to help you?"

Isaac shook his head, "No thanks, Garet making another hole here is the last thing I need…" Isaac turned away from Felix and looked at the hole, "Remind me not to let Garet fix the roof… again…"

Felix let out a chuckle before he went down the ladder and went after Sheba. Isaac turned away from the hole to look at the older Venus Adept as he made his way towards the river. Seeing his old friend running after a girl got him thinking, what did he miss during those few months after he last saw him in Venus Lighthouse until they joined forces in Contigo?

'I think Felix likes Sheba in a way… or maybe the other way around?' Isaac thought as he continued fixing the hole on the roof, 'Even Garet, as airheaded as he is, it looks like Mia is starting to become more friendly towards him. But now, what about me? I don't think I have anyone I like that way…'

Despite what his thoughts were, a certain Adept had always been in his heart and mind. The one he wanted to save the most when she was kidnapped, the reason why he and Garet started their quest and left Vale. She was a Mars Adept, and Felix's beloved little sister. She was his childhood friend, Jenna.

Isaac's hammering suddenly stopped as Jenna came to his mind, 'Jenna… I wonder…'

Meanwhile on the other side of the village, Jenna was sitting by the river in front of her rebuilt house. She was watching the water's surface at first, but she ended up watching Sheba harassing her brother a little farther across the river. She could see Sheba trying to get on his back and threw themselves to the river and how Felix struggled to get her off. Jenna laughed as she saw the two of them before she went back to look at the water, looking at her own reflection on the surface.

'Felix's love life with Sheba is going well and it gets better every day…' Jenna thought as she hugged legs into her chest, 'They'll make out soon, and then I'll be alone…' Jenna suddenly remembered something, 'Wait… Isaac? I… I haven't told him… I haven't told him… about my feelings yet… But would he really feel the same way? Isn't he with that… that… female Mercury Adept whose name I forgot!?'

The Mars could feel that she was angry. Angry at Isaac? Angry at the Mercury Adept? She wasn't sure herself, but she felt like yelling for no obvious reason. Perhaps, it was the feeling of jealousy that she felt.

"NO! I am not jealous!" Jenna yelled angrily suddenly, not noticing that a person had been behind her for a while.

"E-Excuse me…?" Jenna jumped in surprise and turned to find the source of the voice, "I-I'm terribly sorry for surprising you…" It was a young woman with light blue hair tied into a ponytail and was wearing a white robe and white gloves, "You are Jenna… is that right?"

"Yes…" Jenna replied slowly with a slow nod, "And you are…?" She felt that the light blue-haired young woman behind her was somehow familiar.

"My name is Mia, from Imil. I travelled with Isaac's party before we became allies in Contigo. Nice to meet you, Jenna…" Mia bowed politely.

"Oh, I see…" Jenna replied shortly with a sarcastic tone, "Why are you here? I thought you're with Isaac…"

"I was looking for Garet, but I found you instead," Jenna saw as Mia smiled at her, "If it's okay with you, may I talk to you for a moment?"

Jenna didn't thought for a second, "Okay, sure, but what do you want to talk to me about?"

Mia sat down next to Jenna, ignoring the fact that the ground was muddy and she was wearing white clothing, "It's about Isaac, and perhaps you as well. Is that okay with you?"

"Oh, it's him… He likes you, right? I can tell when we met at Mercury Lighthouse before," Jenna said without giving any thoughts about it.

Mia shook her head, "No, he doesn't…" Her answer got Jenna's attention, "He is a very nice person and I like him, but that's all," Mia turned to Jenna with a smile, "I think he likes you more…"

"W-What are you talking about!? What makes you think like that!?" Jenna's face turned red as she protested.

"He talked a lot about you during our journey along with Garet, but he was always the first one to talk about you and how concerned he was when you and Kraden were kidnapped…" Mia played with her hands on her lap.

'Isaac… talked a lot about me…? He was… concerned…?' Jenna stared in disbelief at the Mercury Adept sitting next to her, the shade of red still on her face.

"After I saw you at the Mercury Lighthouse and listened to Isaac and Garet talking about you, I realized that I didn't have the chance to be with him. He would fall in love with a beautiful girl like you, not me," Mia finished talking and turned to the Mars Adept, whose face was as red as her hair.

"B-But… Why wouldn't he fall for you anyway?" Jenna looked away and stared at the river instead, "You're prettier than I am, and you're kind and nice as well. I'm just… My temper always gets the best out of me and I'm quite bossy as well… Even my own brother is afraid of me when I lose my temper!"

"Thank you for your compliment," Mia looked up at the sky, "But Isaac's heart had always been with you. He said it himself that he was so happy when we found you doing fine at the Mercury Lighthouse. Now I have realized that my feelings for Isaac will never reach him and I have given up on him…" Mia lowered her head.

"Alright, don't be sad now…" Jenna smiled and put a hand on Mia's shoulder, "I'm sure there are other guys who would want to be with you!"

"Yes, and I have already known who he is," Mia looked up at Jenna, a small blush across her face, "I-It's Garet…"

"G-Garet!?" Jenna backed away in surprise, 'Out of all people in this whole Weyard, she picked Garet!? That airheaded glutton!?'

Mia nodded slowly, "Y-Yes… He had already tried saving me in the Jupiter Lighthouse before…"

"Oh I see!" Jenna exclaimed cheerfully, "Now I understand why you're always trying to get close to Garet when we were on our way back to Vale! You must be madly in love with him, right?" Jenna teased cheerfully, 'Ugh, I think I sounded like Sheba…'

"I-It's not that much!" Mia protested in embarrassment, "I do like him… I want to know if he feels the same way…"

"Don't worry! Knowing Garet, he does for sure!" Jenna reassured the Mercury Adept. Suddenly a splashing sound was heard from across the river, "What was that?" Jenna and Mia looked across the river and saw two people in the river, one with long brown hair and the other one with short blonde hair, "Seriously… those two lovebirds… Sheba is trying to get my brother's attention, as always…"

Mia giggled as she and Jenna saw Felix climbing out of the river before grabbing Sheba and pulled her up as well, "She is doing a good job, actually…" Mia turned to Jenna, "Have you told Isaac about your feelings?"

"HUH!?" Jenna suddenly turned to her after hearing her sudden bluntness, "N-No, not yet… I wasn't sure whether he felt the same way or not…" Her sentence was followed by a short silence between the two female Adepts before Jenna stood up, "But I guess I will do it now…"

Mia got up from her seat as well, "Good luck Jenna. I'm sure he will be very happy to know that you like him…"

Jenna nodded, ignoring the fade red color on her face, "Good luck to you with Garet as well. He can be quite a handful most of the time."

It was Mia's turn to blush heavily, "Y-Yes, I will…"

Jenna left the Mercury Adept and ran across the bridge to the other side of the river and headed towards the inn, not noticing that two other Adepts were following her. Jenna stopped in front of the inn and looked up, seeing that Isaac was busy hammering on the roof. She climbed the ladder next to the building, surprising the Venus Adept.

"Jenna? What are you doing here?" Isaac looked at his childhood friend standing next to him with a grin on her face, "Or did Felix send you? I thought I already told him that I would finish this on my own…"

"No, he didn't. But if you want some help, I'll do it with you!" Jenna replied, hiding the fact that she was feeling very nervous about confessing her feelings.

Isaac shrugged and turned back to his work on the nearly fixed hole, "Alright, but I'm almost finished anyway…" After a short pause between them, Isaac let out a long sigh, "While you're here, can I talk to you?"

Isaac turned to her and patted an empty spot next to him, giving her the sign to sit there. Jenna carefully walked over to the spot and sat next to him, "I-I have something to talk to you as well, but you first…"

"Okay…" Isaac took a deep breath, "Now how should I say this? There are eight of us in the party, and four of us seem to have found a love life, don't you think?"

"Yeah… and your point is?" Jenna was completely clueless about what Isaac had said.

"There are four of us left single, and you're the only girl left," Isaac swallowed nervously, "I-If it's possible to have another pair, would you choose? But it's not like I'm hoping to be chosen!"

It was Jenna's turn to get even more nervous, but it was the chance for her to tell him, "Uh… If I pick Ivan, he's way too young for me… As for Piers, I think he's too old… But I never know his real age, though… He never told me…" Jenna looked over to Isaac, who was watching her as she spoke, "A-As for you… I… I don't know… We're the same age and we've known each other for a long time…" Jenna let out a sigh, "Isaac, I think I-"

"I love you, Jenna…" Jenna's words were cut off, but by something she had hoped for. She turned to him and saw that he had lowered his head, "I don't know if you feel the same way, but that's how I feel. Sorry, just destroyed our friendship…"

"Isaac…" Jenna whispered and moved closer to him, and was about to put a hand on his chin to raise his head, but stopped, 'Come on Jenna… This is your chance! Tell him! Or do something to tell him that you love him before you mess everything up!'

Jenna forced his head up with her hands gave him a hard slap across his left cheek, "Hey! What was that for!?"

"Idiot! If you want to say you love me, then SAY IT CLEARLY! Don't chicken out on me and told me some stupid riddles instead!" Isaac when silent, slightly terrified by Jenna's sudden outburst, "I… I love you too, don't you understand…?"

"Y-You do!?" Isaac was at shock, but was more surprised when Jenna pressed her lips against his.

The two enjoyed their moments on the roof until they broke apart for some air. The Venus and Mars Adepts looked at each other for a moment before they cuddled into each other, "Sometimes your obviousness is far worse than Garet's…"

"Sorry… I was nervous and I didn't know how I should tell you how I feel…" Isaac broke the hug and looked at Jenna with a smile, "But now I know…"

"And so do I…" The two heard a creaking sound as a person had stepped to the roof roughly.

"F-Felix! I can explain!" Isaac quickly let go of Jenna and stood up, backing away from Felix.

"I left for a little while and then I found you making out with my sister…?" Felix tried to look as calm as usual, but his evil grin couldn't be hidden away, "You're such a nice friend, aren't you?"

Isaac continued walking backwards as Felix slowly approached him, until he was at the edge of the roof, "Uh-oh…" Just then, Felix walked closer and Isaac was about to sidestep, but unfortunately he tripped and fell off the roof.

"ISAAC!" Jenna ran over to the edge where Isaac fell and saw him land on top of something red.

"Hey! What's the big idea!?" Jenna saw Isaac being pushed away and saw that it was Garet whom Isaac landed on, "Isaac? What the heck are you doing here?"

Isaac looked up to his friend and smiled weakly before giving him a thumb up, "Thanks man… You just saved my life!"

"Thank goodness…" Jenna sighed in relief, "It's good thing that Garet can become a cushion with that weight and size of his…"

Well... Garet being a 'pillow' for Isaac to save him from the fall pretty much ends this three-shots story. Dunno what else to say here other than... Please review and add this story to your favorites list!
