A/N: The inspriation for this story came from after listening to a song call 'Hawaii '78' by IZ Kamakawiwo'ole

Hopefully I can make this into a comedy romance.

Disclamer for the entire story: Don't own...never have. ^_^


A bubbly golden dirty-blonde hair three year old girl with her new puppy came running in from inside "Mommy! Tell me the story about the rebuilding of the world again!"

Her mother looked down at her and disgust. "Tilmy, you know the rules, no story until you're clean"

Tilmy pouted for a moment "Awww…I took a mud bath with Roxie, doesn't that count?" She finally looked at her daughter and her dog that was covered in mud and dirt tracks behind them.

She got her smart ass mouth from her father…how many time am I going to have to tell him to stop being sarcastic around her. Quistis smiled at her daughter. "Okay how about this: we go outside rinse yourself off along with Roxie, then while I give you a bath upstairs, I'll tell you and Roxie the story."

Before she could smile at her hyperactive daughter, she and the dog were bouncing out the door to take a sprinkler bath. She got up and walked into the neighboring room where her husband was falling asleep while on the phone with his second favorite person in the world.

"But why don't we just re-BUILD that hotel instead of refurbishing the one standing now?" He always got annoyed when talking to Squall, but there was no way that he could possibly just avoid him since Squall is now the President of Esthar.

He looked at the door way to see his loving wife. "Hold on Leonhart, someone more important than you wants my attention" *pause* "yeah…uh huh…okay wait…hold on" he then 'accidently' hung up on Squall. "Yes my beautiful wife?"

Quistis couldn't believe it, and then again it was Seifer. He did whatever he wanted when he wanted…she hoped having Tilmy would slow him down a bit, which is did, but then again when she wasn't around all was thrown away. She stood there awe thinking he was just going to call back again and act like nothing happened. "You know I would appreciate it if you didn't use sarcasm around our daughter. She's starting to pick up your attitude."

Seifer swung around in his chair smirking at her. "It's not only my attitude she's picking up ya know"

"Yeah of course I know that, because if she only had you personality, I would probably go berserk. Or better yet, maybe she will drive you crazy when she becomes a big—" Quistis saw a wet little girl running towards her along with a dog who was covered in dried mud and now is trenched in watery mud.

"Mommy! I'm ready for my bath now! So is Roxie!" Quistis looked behind the duo then looked at Seifer.

She pointed a threatening finger at Seifer. "Not only are you cleaning the mess in the kitchen and living room, but you also giving Roxie a bath!"

Suddenly the phone rang. "Sorry honey, I need to take this." Quistis ran over and grabbed the phone before Seifer did. 'Sorry Mr. President, Mr. Almasy is too busy giving OUR dog a bath. I'm sure you've had to do that once or twice with Angelo…" *pause* He could see he was going to lose this argument. "Well I'll tell you what…either Seifer cleans up the mess that Tilmy and Roxie just made or…" Quistis looked at Seifer with a mischievous grin. Uh oh…this isn't going to be good. "…I'll turn Seifer into a grouchy asshole for the next two months" Seifer knew immediately got up and called the dog into bathroom and turned on the shower. "Alright I'll tell him…oh and Squall…thank you." Quistis hung up the phone looked at her daughter. "Come on; let's join daddy and Roxie in the bathroom."

Tilmy looked up at Quistis when she walked by her grabbing her hand on the way to the bathroom. "Mommy, what would be daddy's punishment be if he didn't give Roxie a bath?

Quistis grinned knowing it would be punishment for herself too. "Daddy wouldn't be able to play with you for two whole months." Her lying skills had gotten better once she married Seifer four years ago. She was thankful for it too; she wouldn't know what she would do without it now.

"I'm glad daddy is afraid of you." Quistis smiled walking pass Seifer in the bathroom. The bathroom was huge compared to anything that the Garden or Balamb had to offer. It had a separate shower from the bathtub. "I want….the green bubbles!" Tilmy walked over to the cabinet to grab the bottle of bubble bath when she heard screaming coming from the shower's direction.

"Whose idea was it to get a dog? And why do I have to wash her?" Seifer was talking to himself as he stood there covered in what the dog shook off on him. Quistis let out a hardy laugh seeing the entire scene.

"It was your idea to get the dog, and you have to wash her because you don't want to be 'punished' do you?" Quistis raised an eye brow at him. She had picked up his smirk over years and now never wondered how it work all these years since now it worked on him.

"I should of never of taught you how to use that smirk against me…Oh so many things I regret now…" He knelt down to the floor and started to scrub the dog with the soap, when Tilmy came over and poured three bottle caps full of bubble mix in the bathtub. They both were stunned by how unbelievably smart she was sometimes. She could figure things so fast. The only thing she could never decipher was 'mommy and daddy talk.' She grabbed her toys from side of the tub and played with them while Quistis watch the two people and one dog she love the most have fun in their own separate ways.

"Mommy, the story!" Tilmy was antsy for her favorite story.

"Alright alright let me just do one thing…Roxie, SHAKE!" Quistis wiggled her body motioning the dog to shake her body to shake the loose water off her body.

"Ahh! DAMN IT QUISTIS!" Seifer scream out of shock covered in more dog shampoo and muddy water. Quistis and Tilmy were laughing profusely. "I am GETTING YOU BACK FOR THIS!"

"You and daddy are funny!" Tilmy said while splashing around in the bath. "Come on mommy! Begin the story!" She pointed to the sky as if she was signaling the troops to attack.

"Alright alright calm down." Quistis sat on the side of the bathtub. "It's been 5 years since the Sorceress war. So much has changed. People change, some cities were developing faster than we would ever believe somewhere still the same, then there was cities that just stayed still and were left for destruction. Your father and I was assigned to rebuild Winhill, back then me and him never really got along…"
