The First Wish.

By;Par: Ja ne, Kat

Okay! Since I have played most of these games(at some point in my life, though some are a long time ago so please forgive me if some of the details are wrong) I decided to give this a shot, because the premise for this game always intrigued me. Who hasn't wanted to see some of these characters fight side by side? I always though Zidane and Tidus would get along well, and having them pick on Squall and Cloud just makes it that much better. And I'm going with the Luneth Version because I like the name. So there! Bold and Italics are Generally Song Lyrics.

disclaimer- Dissida and Final Fantasy Nine do not belong to me. The Story of My Life belongs to Neil Diamond. only the idea is mine.

Surrounded by enemies and allies at all hours of the day made it very hard to find a moment alone. Even when they found streams to bath in the Warrior of Light insisted on pairs, Terra having to have Luneth sitting facing away from her. So he'd worked, begged, finagled and flat out whined to get the rest of the warriors to rest in this particular gate. The Floating Castle gave him several places to be alone and unheard, but still within Bartz's view. Though he knew his friend was more than a little uncomfortable standing near the edge like he was. Today, however, was important to her. Her name may have eluded him, but not her importance to him, and it was for her and his friends that he fought. He stood still for a minute, taking deep breaths and slowly letting go of himself. Then he dropped in to a bow, as though he was the narrator for a plays opening. That he was a thief the other warriors knew, that he was a professional Actor was a secret shared only with Bartz.

"Please Cosmos, I beg and beseech you, let my voice reach her." Then he began to sing very softly in a smooth clear tenor.

The story of my life is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth

He'd meant to sing the whole thing softly, but as he'd sung memories of her popped into his head and caused his voice to rise till he was singing loud enough to be heard in a crowded theatre, which was normally how he had to sing.

Running after the Princess they had been hired to kidnap as she ran to the top of the tower, and watching in shock as she then jumped off the top of it. Flirting with her to distract her as she realized she wasn't anything like the people in the small village. Watching her steal the airship because . . . it had to be her choice. He may have promised to kidnap her, but if she'd wanted to go back he would have taken her, otherwise he was no better than the other people who claimed to care about her. He would not keep her in the dark, would not make or take her choices from her.

"Bartz, what's –"

The treasure hunter cut off Tidus's question by placing his hand over the teen's mouth. By this time the singing had drawn the attention of the other warriors to the normally carefree thief standing and singing so seriously on the floating column.

I was alone.
You found me waiting and made me your own,

Surrounded for years by people who were family, but not the same. They weren't lost and different and searching for a home and a past like he was.

I was afraid
That somehow I never could be a man that you wanted of me

And when he finally found those long sought answers what did he find out? That he was built to be her enemy, made to replace Kuja when he could no long do the job he was built for, but instead betrayed and abandoned by the older brother he should have had. A villain. . . no, HER villain when she deserved a prince or a knight.

You're the story of my life, and every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you

The devastated look on her face as the Legendary Summon was destroyed and the city under her care was laid to waste. The same face but filled with wonder when she found the home she had lost and had answered her own questions as to why she was different. The absolute heartbreak on her face the last time he'd seen her, as they had flown off and he'd gone to find Kuja so he wouldn't die alone, just before Cosmos and Chaos had whisked them away into the endless fight.

It's the story of our times and never letting go
If I die today, I wanted you to know

That he loved her, that to him she was always only Dagger because that's who she wanted to be. Garnet was the ivory princess in her tower, safe, naive and doing only what was expected of her. Sarah was a lost memory of times when life was simple and happy, filled with prayer and sunshine.

Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near

He had wanted to say those words to her often, wanted to ask her to just leave it all behind and run away with him. Wanted her to offer to let him stay beside her, with her, guard her and add fun to her life when it got to be too much for one person to handle.

And when it began I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write

They were lying awake in the Black mages village, telling her his story to distract her from the pain and heartbreak that seemed to seek her out, knowing as he did that they were right together, that they fit and always would, because someone had made him for her. Theirs could be love story that would go down in the ages, although if it didn't have a happy ending for them, it would when he wrote it into a play.

The story of my life it's very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave

He ended in the same bow he had started in, one arm behind his back and the other held out towards the expanse and Bartz . . . and everyone else now that he actually looked, a few breaths to come back to himself before he whispered the next words.

"Happy birthday . . . Dagger."

OXOXOXOXOX

Okay for those of you who don't know Sarah is Dagger's real name, if you want to check you can find it on the Eidolon wall by walking around it nine times. Yes some of these are pure fluff because well I think the world needs more fluff. Do not Despair though! There will be PORN! (or at least as close as I get to it.) Because there is Cleon. YES Cleon because I have decided this all happens after Kingdom Hearts and I have fit that into the story . . .eventually. there are a few more chapters of fluff first.

See you next time!
