I'm being lazy. And this weird story just appeared in my mind. I'll update my other stories in a little bit. Maybe. But hey, while you're waiting, why don't you read this? And hey, here's that one line we all hate.

I don't own Tales of the Abyss. Aws...

Read on!!


Tear was wandering the Fabre manor. The party had decided to take a much needed rest in Baticul. And while the rest of the group sat in the court yard, she took a little self tour, finding a small library. A small, but knowledgable library. Tear gasped as she saw the old, decrepit book at the very end of the shelf. A book of all the artes Yulia ever knew.

"Guys!" Tear ran into the court yard. "Look at this!!"

"Whoa, what is this?" Anise asked.

"A book of every arte Yulia ever knew." Tear said. "I never expected to find it here though..."

"Neither did I. The Duke probably kept it for it's value." Guy said.

"Why don't we take a look at it?" Jade suggested.

"Yeah! I wanna see some artes!" Luke grinned.

"Me too!" Mieu said.

"Yes, most of these artes could only be used by Yulia herself, Tear being one of her descendants, I would like to see if she could cast them too." Natalia agreed.

"Hm..." Tear flipped through the pages of the ancient book. "I've seen some of these in books in Yulia city, oh, here's one. I need another seventh fonist though." Tear said.

"I'll help." Luke jumped up from the bench he was on. "What should I do?"

"Alright. Stand next to me, and hold my hand." Tear instructed.

Luke blushed slightly as he did so. "O-okay."

"He's blushing!" Anise laughed.

"Ah, young love!" Jade grinned.

"Shut up Jade!"

"Now, say the words in your mind, not out loud." Tear continued.

"Alright."

Suddenly, a bright light filled the court yard.

"What the?!"

"Oh my...oh dear..." Tear put her hand over her mouth.

In front of Tear and Luke, were four piles of clothing.

"Uh...what happened?" Luke asked.

"Um...did we do it right?" Tear looked at the book again. "Yes...then what...?"

"Mmf!" A muffled sound came from Guy's clothes, and a small head poked out of the collar.

"G-Guy?!"

The little blond boy looked at Luke with wide eyes. "Huh?" he tried to stand, but tripped over his over sized clothes.

"Guy? Are you okay?" Tear knelt in front of Guy. She blushed when she saw that he was naked.

"Waaah!!!" Guy cried and buried himself in his clothes.

"Did he lose his memory?" Luke asked. "Guy?! Do you remember me?"

Guy stayed in the clothes.

"I guess so..." Tear said. "Where's Mieu?"

"Right here!" Mieu dug himself out from under Natalia's clothes.

"Oh good, you're still the same." Luke said in relief.

"Yes, this arte only affects humans." Tear said.

"When does this wear off?" Luke asked.

"I don't know. I-the book didn't even have a description of the arte. I didn't know this would happen." Tear said as she dug Anise and Natalia out of their over sized clothes.

"Um..." Luke held up Jade's colonel uniform.

"What is it Luke?" Tear turned with Anise and Natalia in her arms, Guy clinging to her leg.

"I can't find Jade...Oh, there he is. I thought we lost him!" Luke grinned nervously as he pulled Jade from his shirt.

"They all look so cute..." Tear muttered.

"Can we get them some clothes? 'Cause you know...uh..." Luke said as he looked at the naked boy clinging to Tear's leg.

"Oh. Right."

Now the question was, how were they going to explain this to everybody?
