Author's Note: After a million years, I decided to put in some fan fic. Thanks Gaian Sorceress for giving me the courage to put it up. It is my first one and I don't think it's very good, but still, here it is. Please review, but don't be too mean to me, ok? I want to know if I should put some more up. This is mostly Dagger's POV. This is after Zidane has come back, but Zidane and Dagger are not married. Vivi is alive and I will explain in a later chapter why they are traveling. It is part of my story. Well, here it is.
Here we are again, but it's only a few of us. It was Zidane, Vivi, Steiner, and I. We were all camping outside of Lindblum near a minuscule river. We had two tents in which two people could sleep in one. I started to pass out the food to each of my companions. First off were Steiner, then Vivi, and last but not least Zidane and myself. As I gave Zidane his food, I heard him say, "Thanks babe," giving me a smile. I sat down next to him and noticed Steiner giving him an evil glare. It probably most meant, "How dare you call her Majesty that!" We all started to eat our dinner in silence until I felt Zidane's tail slide against my side. I jumped up timorous, thinking it was something else, and dropping my food all over me. "What's wrong!?" "It...it's nothing, Vivi. Let me just go clean myself up." I quickly left before they could see my red face. As Zidane saw me come back he said, "Maybe we should get some sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow. So, who's the first watch?" "I am," I replied quickly. "But Princess!" Steiner interrupted. "I have to eat anyway." I said ignoring him. "Okay. But who sleeps with who?" Zidane asked looking and smiling at me. "There is NO chance at all that you will sleep in the same tent as her Majesty." "How do you know?" He scooted over and put his arm around me. I felt my temperature rise as he did that. "Grrr! Get away from her NOW."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to get all mad. (moving his hands in such a way that followed what he said) Anyway, Dagger, you can sleep with Vivi and I guess I have to sleep with Mr. loud snorer over there. (Steiner was about to jump on Zidane right then, but I gave him a glare, which stopped him) Okay, remember to wake one of us up when you get tired." I nodded. They all went into their tents while I waited and watched outside.
*Later*
It was 12:30 now and I felt myself getting tired already. I'll just wait a couple more minutes before I wake someone up. What I didn't know was that someone was creeping up behind me. I felt the pressure of two hands on my shoulders and both of them slowly moving to my neck. I screamed and jumped away to face this thing. "What!?" I looked closely and sighed seeing Zidane standing in front of me. "You just scared me, that's all." "What's going on?" We see Vivi walking toward us with his staff. Obviously, Steiner, the sound sleeper that he is, didn't wake up from my scream. "Um...Vivi, can I talk to you for a sec.?" Zidane asked suddenly. "A...alrighty," he said unsure of what Zidane wanted to talk about. "You can go to sleep now Dagger. One of us will take over." I nodded and then saw them disappear into the woods. I wandered into my tent and slowly fell asleep.
*At about 2:30 A.M.*
I woke up hearing a sound. It's most likely Vivi coming in or out. I start to snuggle back into my pillow, but I sit up just in case. "Zi...Zidane, why are you in here?" "I was just gonna see if I could spend some time with you." "At this hour?" "Yeah, well, whatever. You can go back to sleep then." He then sat down, took one of his daggers out, and started looking at it. This is strange. I was about to ask Zidane what he was doing, but right then I heard a noise outside. "Um...I'll go see what that is." I start to get up, but Zidane stops me before I could get outside. "No, don't go. It is probably just Vivi." "I guess." I sit back down with Zidane still looking at this dagger. How come I have the feeling Zidane is hiding something? Maybe it's just me. Hmmmm..... "Maybe I'll just check anyway," I say quickly. I get out of the tent before Zidane says something and look around. "Where's Vivi?" I whisper to myself, "I don't see him anywhere." I turn back to get Zidane, but see that he is already outside looking at me. "Did you find him?" I shake my head. Wait. How did he know he was missing? I run to Steiner's tent and wake him up by shaking him. "Wha...what Beatrix?" I smile to myself because of what he says, but then I realize immediately that I forgot about Vivi. Finally, he gets up. "What is it, your Majesty?" "It's Vivi. We can't find him."
*Later*
"We have looked everywhere. Where could he be?" "Don't worry Dagger. We'll find him." "Look, he's over there!" We see Steiner pointing to the creek, where a small figure had his back to us. We start running toward him. "Vivi?" I whisper. I touch his shoulder and his small body falls backwards. We see a dagger in his chest. I run to Zidane and bury my head in his chest. "Zidane, please take it out. Please!" Steiner leads me a little away while Zidane pulls out the dagger. I look exactly at the point where he pulls it out. I scream and Zidane picks up the small body in his arms.
We hurry to the campsite and rush into one of the tents. I whisper a cure spell, but it doesn't seem to work. I try again, but we still can't tell. "It looks like that is as good as he is gonna get," Zidane whispers trying to make me the least upset with the way he chose his words. "Princess. You should get some rest." "But..." Steiner interrupts me for like the first time on all of our adventures. "You have had a hard day. I will look after Master Vivi. Zidane, you should get some rest, too. Can you please take her?" Zidane nods his head and grabs my hand to comfort and lead me to the other tent. "Wait. Can you at least promise to wake me up if anything happens."
"I promise, your Majesty" We both walk to the other tent in silence. We all were hoping that Vivi would be okay. Steiner didn't even notice that he put me in the same tent as Zidane. It wouldn't have mattered anyway. We were all worried about Vivi. We lay down and I had this burning question in my head. I saw his eyes closed, but I just had to ask him. "Zidane?" "Yeah?" "Do you think he will be okay?" He opened his eyes and looked at me. "I'm sure he will be fine." He gave me a weak smile, which I returned.
