Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

'Pounding, so much pounding!' Rinoa thought as she sat up from her bed rubbing her eyes. Knock knock. there it was again, was she going crazy? 'Damn!' she silently cursed, 'who would wake me up at this hour!?' she thought as the knocks became louder, 'it's probably Quistis telling me to study or do extra credit or something' she lifted herself off of the bed, put on her robe and slowly opened the door, she herself face to face with miss sun-shine-all-day, Selphie, Rinoa smiled knowing that Selphie was going to cheer her up from her groggy state. "Are you com'in to breakfast or what, Rinoa!?" she asked jumping up and down lightly. "I'll be there in a few minutes" Rinoa replied, wiping the tiredness from her eyes. Selphie just gave a nod, turned and motioned to her friends to keep on going, she waved bye, as Rinoa closed the door for her. "Gotta take a shower!" she reminded herself. After about an annoying 2 minute shower she got dressed in her usuall outfit and quickly headed down to the cafeteria while putting the wrest of her jewelry on as she walked. Once at the cafeteria she was greeted by the wonderful smell of eggs, milk, and what the...hotdogs! she shrugged the smell off of her mind and continued down the cafeteria until she met her friends discussing something at a very large table, Selphie pointed to her and the conversation quickly came to an end, everyone began eating again. A small smirk appeared on Rinoa's face, she wasn't gonna bring up it up now, she thought better and decided to get it out of Squall tonight, "How is everyone?" she asked taking her seat next to Selphie and Squall. "Fine" everyone answered in unison....

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

After having lunch, Rinoa checked her watch. "Oh my gosh!" she said taking her last gulp of orange juice, "It's already 10:30!" she exclaimed as she got up, everyone just sat there staring, "Selphie, Zell, this is your class to!"
"Oh right!" the two of them said together. Rinoa gave Squall a quick kiss on the cheek and they all ran off. Squall leaned forward in his chair.
"Quistis?" He began, "What time do they get out?" he asked.
"I think about 12:30, why?" she asked but Squall was already running off waving to good bye to them, 'interesting' thought Quistis, she disregarded having any question on what he was doing and began to finish her meal.
"How you-" Irvine was about to finish when Quitis shoved her hand in the way of his mouth, making him unable to talk.
"Don't hit on me" she blandly stated.....
Rinoa flipped threw her book to find the answer to problem 23. 'damn these tests!' she thought as she put her palm to her forhead, 'but atleast it's an open book test' she thought a very small smile crossing her beautiful lips, she began flipping frantically now, it had been 10 minutes since she first read problem 23, but while she was flipping threw, she felt a sharp pain slice into her finger, "Ouch!!!" she screamed, everyone stared at her but quickly looked back to there own tests, she looked where the pain was coming from, it was her right index finger, and it was bleeding, her eyes widened, she hated blood, she just couldn't stand it! Thinking quickly, she shoved the 'wound' into her mouth, to stop her from screaming and to ease the pain, once the pain was gone she continued her search for the answer. After about another minute or so of searching she found it. She wrote it down on her test paper. 'Done!' she thought as she put her name on it, 'rinoa heartily' she scribbled ran to the teacher handed it to her and ran out the door, she looked at her watch while she was running out of the class, it read 12: 56, "I hate tests" she mumbled still looking at her watch, while she was turning the corner to get the hell out of that torture chamber she slammed into Squall's chest. He let out a wheeze as her hand accidently hit his stomach quite hard, he began to hold his stomach, "Oh my gosh!" Rinoa said helping him to a bench, "I swear I didn't mean to! Are you ok? What are you doing here?" she bombarded him with a ton of questions until he caught his breath, but silenced her with a kiss, she just blinked and blinked, that's all she could do....

Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

"Hello?" Squall asked lightly waving his hand in front of her to wake her from her thoughts. "Wow!" she said, Squall just laughed. "You want to go on a little boat ride with the hole gang?" he asked once she was out of her thoughts, she nodded, "great!" he exclaimed, he stood up and offered his hand to help her up from the bench, she took his hand and stood. "Ummmm...Where should I meet you guys?"
"How about I meet you at our dorm room at 1:30, k?" she nodded in agreement, Squall looked at his watch and gasped, "shit," he cursed, "have a meeting with Cid" he explained to Rinoa.
"Don't be late!" she said raising her hand lightly after him.
"I'll try not to be!" he said while running off down the hall and to the elevator. She turned back around to the classroom she was just in, to wait for Selphie and Zell. The two appeared from the classroom talking lightly until Selphie eyes Rinoa and the convorsation quickly stopped, "what were two talking about she asked as she joined there line of two.
"Nothing" Selphie hastily blurted out, "uhhh...why do you ask?" she asked picking her speed up along with Zell.
"Well, I-" she began but she didn't exactly want
to continue since they were already now about 12 feet away and almost running
away from her, 'what the hell is going on!?' she thought as she began to walk to
Squall's dorm. Once she was there she fumbled threw her pocket, nothing, 'DAMMIT!
where the hell is that key!?' she thought as she began to wildy thrust her hand
in and out of her pockets, there was nothing in her pockets, "crap!"
she exclaimed as she fell to the floor, "I'm just going to wait here?"
she asked herself, 'well this has to be the worst day I have had at Garden!' she
thought to herself, she had only been here one year and things already seemed to
be going down hill, maybe she could make the best this! she complied with
this thought and nodded her head absent mindedly . A few minutes had gone
by with out any trace of Squall, or much anyone else, it was like the whole
garden never had anyone in here to begin with, 'probably all in a class or
something!' she thought to herself, just trying to calm herself down a bit.
About another hour passed and no one could be seen until the elevator came
down......

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years

Squall was the only one who stepped off the elevator, he was still looking at his watch as he went directly to the door, pulled out his key and entered, not even noticing Rinoa right beside the door. "Rinoa!?" he yelled to the room, "Let's go!" he yelled, no response except a giggle behind him, he swiftly turned around his hands into a fighting stance, she just stood there, "O god!" he exclaimed as he dropped his fists to his side and took Rinoa into a hug, "You ready to go?" he asked still hugging.
"I have been ready for to long!" Squall just laughed.
"Then let us go!" he said as pulled her from the
embrace and walked away hand in hand, toward the entrance, but when the were
nearing the entrance he turned into the cafeteria, there were no lights, no
light even penatrated threw the windows because of the curtains. About a
few feet in, the lights came on and most of garden popped out behind the many
tables and chairs. "SURPRISE!!!" they all yeld, Rinoa flew back from
the sudden scream, "happy birthday," Squall whispered into her ear and
he kissed her cheek. "You did all of this for me!?" she asked with
excitement looking around the room at all of there smiling faces, even
Squall's! "Well actually..." Irvine began, "This was all of
Squall's idea" he said pointing to him, she gave a huge smile to him and
wrapped her arms around him. "But it's not even my birthday!" she said
pulling away from him. "You forgot your own birthday!?" he asked
with a smile, she blushed and frenched Squall, once she was done he was beet
red, "Gotcha back!" was all she said....

It was 10:30 and most of the people had gone back to there dorms and/or passed out from all of the alcohol that spiked the punch. Rinoa was outside on the balcony, the night air felt good to her skin, nothing burning it up, nothing freezing it to death, no nothing. Squall walked up behind her, and stood next to her looking up at the stars. "Thank you for tonight" she said.
"Don't even mention it!" was all he said as he looked down to her, "I can do a lot more things if you want me to!" he said with a slight smirk on his face, Rinoa giggled. "Take me away!" she said as Squall picked her up in his arms and a shooting star shot across the heavens.....
