"GASPAR!!!" smiles crono.
gaspar freaks out, "CRONO??!! LUCCA??!! FROG??!! YOU'RE ALL HERE!!!"
"DID YOU REALLY FIND IT??" asks Spekkio
crono sighs in disappointment, "got it..but while we're on our way here...it fell off from my pocket and..[sigh] GONE."

"THIS IS BAD!!!!" freaks Robo
"CRONO!!!" gasps Ayla
Crono falls down, unconscious..
....
Robo, Spekkio and the Guru's is with Crono inside the room...
"hmm...can this be?" said Gaspar
"what?"
"i heard of this..or seen this before. many times too around the different time periods."
"i think i know." beeps Robo, and lowers his head, "this is really bad...Crono have HEART DISEASE."
"what..??!!" freaks Spekkio, "this young boy??? heart attack???"
"it must be from the genes. his ancestors must've have it." beeps Robo
"what should we do?"
"we can't tell them. no one." said Melchoir, "this will saddened them and crono..weakened them from the journey to the ruby in the Golden Land. that'll be dangerous."
"all right, we'll keep it as top secret." said Gaspar, "how's the rest of his friends doing?"
"they are spending the last night here..on Earth." said Melchoir, "you should too, Robo."
"right." robo left.
while everyone's sleeping, Marle was still awake, standing on the bridge...
"marle?" beeps Robo, just from the room, "you still awake?"
"robo!! how's crono?"
"he's...okay. don't worry."
"[sigh] i wish there's some way we can talk through this.."
"[beep] something bothering you, marle?"
"yeah..." sighs marle, "ever since the battle we fought against Lavos, we discovered we liked each other. from that day on, we are boy/girlfriends, but we hardly date or hold hands like any g/b friends does...he is always too busy for me.." then she lowers her head, "i know the world is important...but all he does is save the world..never spends just a little time with me. i just wanted one day for us to be together...a kiss from him...at least..saying that he really loved me and to be with him all his life..."
"and it never came true.." said robo
"yeah...i wish. i don't know what he wants!! i felt that our relationship is spreading farther and farther away...one day, i feared, we'll be apart."
"NONSENCE!!! i'm sure he loves you, and forever. you two need time. love is a complicated thing. your still young, but when the time comes, you two will understand to accept it or not." beeps robo, and went to sleep
"[sigh]" marle whispers, "when??"
"..." magus appears
"magus..?!"
"sorry i overheard you. it's a habit for me to wake up at night.."
"then can you..help me?"
"no. i can't help you..you must find this answer yourself." then he turns around, "but remember, there are some people that instead of keeping feelings...they destroy them, like me."
"crono won't do that...right?" whisper marle, to herself.
