Thorn 1: Daycare

"Prishe, where's Jamie?" asks a worried dad.

"He's fine, I just took him to daycare a hour ago," she replies.

"He's that big to go?"

"Sheesh he's not in elementary school yet."

"Yeah but still."

"Stop worrying, you worry too much."

"Well you make me," he said leaning closer.

Prishe decided to head butt him.

"Firion not right now, I'm going to the garden."

"Yes our rose garden."

They both glance out the cream color window into the beautiful garden. As Prishe walked away he couldn't help, but ponder why she choose him. He goes to the entertainment stand and touches their wedding picture. He smiled remembering that she refused to be picked up like a princess. Gosh it was a dream, he loved her and their son, and emeralds in his eyes they were.

"Firion," she called from the garden, "the roses, all of them, they're bewitching."

"Yes just like you . . . what time does daycare end?"

"Ready to see your son so soon?" she smirked.

"What can I say I miss him."

"He'll be okay, maybe have all of the girls fall for him but nothing else. When he goes to college you'll be a wreak."

"He takes after me."

"You got that right man," she laughed.

Prishe stood up, took one glance at him and sighed.

"What am I to do with you?"

"Be by my side even after death do us part."

Firion left with that to work on a project with Onion Knight.

"My Queen until later," he whispers.

Once he left Prishe gazed at the sky, for a continuous amount of time.

"Oh yeah, Knight waiting for you to come over. You're outside? Great come up to the room."

The door was summoning her to come, or the person on the other side was.

"Oh, hi Onion Knight."

He grew in the three years' time period.

"Hey Prishe you look lovely."

"Thanks you look handsome. So how's Terra?"

"Um we broke up, so I guess—"

"Yeah Firion's waiting for ya."

Prishe stepped aside so he could come in. Onion Knight just stood there, dazed.

"Firion come down!"

"Okay hon."

She heard the stomping, then the force of his pounce.

"Stop! We have company!" she giggled.
She looked up at Onion Knight and saw that he had a pained expression.

"You just saw me, work with Onion Knight on you man to man work. I'm going to Doc's place for a while."

Firion didn't budge.

"Well I warned you."

She dropped kicked him and he released her.

"Thank you ever so kindly, I'm buying some spicy hot tacos."

"You still got the moves, Prishe," Onion Knight smiled.

"Thanks."

She grabbed her purse and she was ghost.

"Man I love that woman, don't you?"

"Yeah I do," Onion Knight mumbled.

"For the project we just need to put some finishing touches. Did you want to give Terra one?"

"No we—"

"Where's my sis at?" asked Squall coming from the attic.

"She left and when did you get here?" Firion asks.

"I've been here, you were out of it."

"So the project…"

"Let's go Onion Knight."

…

"Doc, you here?"

Shantotto opened her door.

"Child who let you run wild?"

"Talk. Now," Prishe gritted though her teeth.

"About wh—"

Prishe dragged her to the living room.

"What's this about you trout?"

"You can stop that now. He came back."

"Who, I haven't a clue."

"Onion Knight."

"Oh, so what of it?"

"He and Terra broke up."

"This involves you how?"

"He has it in for me but Firion's being too dense to notice the way he acts around me."

"Oh Firion, out of all my students he could be soooo dense."

"Anyway what should I do?"

"Tell him straight off."

"No he questions why and I would be speechless."

"Well that's what I told you."

"Doc I need more info!"

"I have none."

"I wonder has he told Firion, news like that, he wouldn't tell unless, he wants them to know. When he really wants or gets something out of it, an ominous warning."

"Just thinking all of you was in my academy."

"Where's Magister Gabranth?"

"Tutoring Tifa, she excels in fists cuff but her magic needs work."

"Well yeah but that's not the problem now!"

"No more said, I'm going to see my Gabby!"

Prishe took her leave.

"Hey Firion, what cha want from Taco Bell?"

…

"Knight I need you to blizzaga it."

"Blizzaga!"

"There it's done!"

"We made such a thing."

"Yes a rose that never wilts, I know Terra would love it!"

"Firion I have to tell you about that."

"Firion I brought you a taco back."

"Thanks hon I heart you so, mi amor."

"Oh you," Prishe glanced at Onion Knight, "Oh did you guys finish your work, Jamie wants to play with daddy!"

"First I want to give this to you."

Firion placed the rose in her hand.

"This is the symbol of our eternal love."

"We have a garden full."

"This one will be at your side even if I can't."

"You froze it?"

"Yes my love."

Prishe dragged Firion into the kitchen and kissed him.

"So do I, always."
