Queen Garnet had hardly been paying much attention to the show, remembering and reflecting on the same day, two years earlier, when a certain young thief had come into her life to change it forever…

She was thinking of the previous showing of 'I Want to be Your Canary', by the Tantalus Troupe, how a member of the group, Marcus, had played the lead that year. However this year something was different, Marcus was now playing the role that a very good friend of hers, nay, the love of her life had played two years before.

The man on stage now wore a heavy black cloak, it trailed along behind him, covered his hands and completely shadowed his face. Not an inch of the man was visible…but, whoever he was, he was a splendid actor.

The music suddenly had hit a climax, 'Marcus' was alone on stage.

"As the sun lends me no ear, I pray instead to the twin moons!"

Garnet was pulled out of her reverie, she began to pay close attention; the show was very near to its climax.

"I beseech thee, wondrous moonlight, grant me my only wish!"

Thinking once again of Zidane, she thought to herself, Please allow his wish to come true…at least one of us will be happy…

The figure in the black cloak whipped around, pulling the cloak off to reveal who he was, "Bring my beloved Dagger to me!" he cried out.

Garnet stood up and flung herself to the balcony, she couldn't believe her eyes, she blinked furiously and rubbed at them with her silk covered wrists, but sure as the sky is blue, there he was, Zidane. Standing proudly before her on the stage, she turned and ran up the small staircase to the oaken double doors. She quickly made her way to them only to be stopped by Steiner's and Beatrix's out stretched arms, she stared in disbelief at the doors, then they slowly cracked open, she looked from Steiner who simply smiled, to Beatrix who gave a shallow bow saying "Your Majesty."

Garnet launched herself through the windows, and then set off down the winding staircase, tears began forming in her eyes as she took a sharp turn off of the staircase and out the doors to her right, the guards unable to do anything.

The raven haired beauty blinked quickly to remove the streaming tears from her eyes, she tried politely to ask people to move, she gently nudged audience members out of her way, soon a path began to open for her as she picked up speed.

Alas one Alexandrian was too slow, he turned to see the commotion behind him, elbowing the queen in the collarbone, the force of the impact making her spin, the chain holding onto the pendent was weak, the chain broke and sent the pendant flying.

The queen clasped her hands around her bare neck, she looked down at the pendent for what seemed like ages…she couldn't decide what to do.

Finally after what seemed like another year had passed, she turned and ran toward the stage. She sprinted now…only a few feet left…she reached her hands up and threw off her tiara. Throwing her arms back she ran as fast as she could, finally pushing off the ground with all her might she threw herself into the arms of the only man she had ever loved; the only one she has ever loved, and the only one she would ever love.

The impact sent them spinning, they slowed and Zidane softly set her down upon the stage. She hugged him with all her strength, resting her head in the crook of his neck and feeling as though she never wanted to leave his warm, loving embrace.

She pulled away lightly, and looked up into his bright blue eyes that flowed with energy, he gave her a cheeky smirk, and a joyous tear fell from her own hazel orbs. She threw herself into his body again, happiness filled her heart and mind, her whole body and soul was flooded with joyous celebrations because he had finally returned to her.

Then another emotion filled her, her heart was on fire, she was filled with anger. He had taken so long, she believed him to be dead. She punched him in the shoulder, once, no twice, roughly. Again she punched him but with lackluster. She couldn't stay mad at him, because he was back from the dead.

She pulled away again and looked into his eyes once more "How did you survive...?"

"I didn't have a choice, I had to live, I wanted to come home to you. So…I sang your song." He replied, staring into her amber eyes as a tear fell from his own.

"Our song." She said as she stood on tiptoes to put her supple crimson lips to his own.
