The Return.

It's been 2 years since Dagger has seen her closest friend, Zidane. Every night since she's had nightmares of that day of him dying, and never being able to see him again. She's never given up hope though, because of his promise he made to her.

"I have to do something, very important. Trust me on this" Zidane stated " Get out of here"

"Wait... Zidane, promise me something..." Dagger said holding back tears

"What is it?" Zidane noticing something wrong with her

"Promise me... Promise me you'll come back."

Zidane smirked and beat his fist against his chest. "I promise"

The currently distracted Queen had been watching 'I want to be your Canary by Lord Avon' her favorite play.
She began to ponder about why Marcus had been wearing a Dark Cloak. He also looked shorter... and sounded very different...
She closed her eyes, and let a tear escape her beautiful brown eyes.

"Why hasn't he come back yet...?" She thought "Could he be.. NO! Don't think like that Garnet..."
"He will come back just gotta have faith in him"

Then she snapped out of her trip to Lala Land. and starting paying attention to the play in front of her, all done by her friends.

"Nay, ne'er would my love speak false. I must have faith!"
"She shall appear if I only believe."
"As the sun lends me no ear, I pray instead to the twin moons!"
"I beseech thee, wondorous moonlight, grant me my only wish!"

Dagger began to close her eyes and cry again. Hearing those words made her think of Zidane... If onl-
"Bring my beloved Dagger to me!" Came a shout from the stage

Her eyes shot open fast and stared down at the stage, taking her a while to realize who was down there. She suddenly thought "ZIDANE!" and she began sprinting as fast as her legs and her dress would allow her. She was then stopped by Steiner and Beatrix. With a sad look beginning to appear on her face she heard Steiner "Go ahead, my Queen" She looked up, and saw the doors began to be opened by Steiner, she looked at Beatrix and recieved a Go ahead smile from her. She was surpised, yet happy. She ran down the steps, almost tripping but didn't let that stop her. She slammed through the door to a crowd of people, blocking her path to Zidane. She didn't even think, she just started pushing and shoving people out of her way as "Queenly-like" as she could. She suddenly ran into someone in the crowd, causing her to turn around, and her pendant flew from her neck. She didn't even care, all she wanted was Zidane. She was so close to him, she threw down her tiara, and she ran towards Zidane and jumped up to him and he caught her, spinning her around.

As her put her down on her feet, he looked at her with his famous smirk that she had missed so much. She began crying, and was suddenly filled with anger. She started beating on his chest and kept crying more and more, but to her surprise she felt his hand on the back of her hand which calmed her down. The crowd behind had been cheering the whole time without them even noticing.

"Where have you been Zidane...?" Dagger said with a concerned face.

There was a pause. "i'll tell you some other time, it's a long story.." Zidane said trying to hide his depressed face.

Before Dagger could say anything else, their friends arrived. Vivi's kids were the first to reach them.

"Is this man making you upset Dagger?" One of the kids asked looking angry.

"Oh no, of course not. It's just been a while since I have seen him. So I am overjoyed to finally see him again, that is all." She said with a smile on her face.

"Long time no see, Zidane." said a familiar voice.

"I know right? How ya been Freya?" Zidane said with a smirk.

"Good until you showed up" She said with a laugh.

"Quit lying, you missed me." He said while laughing back

A little girl came running squealing.

"ZIIIIIDDDDAAAAAANNNNNNEEEEEEE!" She jumped uptop of his face and clung to it like a tick.

"Hey Eiko, Dang you've gotten bigger." He said almost falling back.

She jumped off his head. "You think so?" She said while swinging back and forth with her hands behind her back and blushing.

"Yep." He said with a smirk.

2 hours later after greeting everyone (Note: Vivi stopped in this and Amarant didn't show... Just cuz he's Amarant.) Zidane was alone in the garden, staring up at the moon, thinking of his adventures to get here while everyone was eating inside the castle.

"Zidane?" He heard as he turned around with a surprise

"Hey Beautiful" He said with a flirtacious voice.

"May I sit with you?" Blushing at what he just said

"Of course."

"So what are you doing out here?" Asked Dagger

"Just thinking..."

There was a silence between the two. Zidane stayed quiet hoping she wouldn't ask him to tell her what he was thinking about.

"About what?" With a concerned face

"Uhm.. What have you been doing the past 2 years since i've been gone?" He asked trying to change the subject.

"The usual queen stuff. Dealing with suitors and trying to handle the kingdom"

"Suitors? So you're married now?" Trying to hide his depression yet again as his heart sank.

"Nope, and I am glad also. I am waiting for the guy I love. Not just some guy that wants me for my money and a title" She said with a blush as Zidane came to her mind

Hearing her say that lightened his mood.

"How about you?" Dagger asked.

"Well..." Zidane said. He figured he would have to tell her eventually. "It all beg-"

He stopped to hear a loud noise coming from the castle followed by screaming.
