Bear in mind I'm not to good at this.

Legend

Summary

Five hundred years after the reign of Queen and King, Garnet and Zidane of Alexandria the story is just a legend. Eidolons and Terra are said to be myths and the story of thief and princess is forgotten. Zidane was said to be a nobleman without royal birth. The journey and threat to the world is long forgotten.

In present day the world has changed. Technology has spread and people live in places their ancestors would never have dreamed possible. All that remains of Zidane and Garnet are the castle, their graves, descendants and their names. Schools are throughout Gaia and half the population have tails. Lindblum high school greets a girl named Dagger and a boy named Zidane. What happens when they meet, both believing there is a large part of 'The Legend' that is missing, having a history project to complete before the end of the school year, and being hormonal teenagers...

So this story starts...

Lindblum's streets were busy with school children on their way to the first dismal day of the school year. A girl named Dagger walked up the stone steps leading to the main entrance doors as the wind blew her hair off her shoulders behind her. It was her first day at this school she had just moved from Alexandria.

The bell rang a warning to the surrounding students as she opened the doors and entered. '619' her locker number resounding in her head... 'Now all I have to do is find it. Easier thought than done' she thought as her feet walked the corridors. '09,110,209,353,563,590,600,619. I'm here.'

The halls were swarming now. As she opened her locker a boy with a tail came and opened the locker next to hers, 620. As he put the book he was carrying into his locker the title caught her eye and she gasped. This caught his attention and he turned to her "Do you believe in the legend?" Now that he was facing her she got a better view of him, and he her. She was lost for words and barely nodded. He smiled at her; he could tell there was shyness about her. His smile made Dagger feel a little light-headed. "I've never seen you around before and I would remember a pretty...beautiful girl, ya know." He continued, seeing her embarrassment he added, "maybe that's why I can't remember anybody's name" she laughed. "My name's Zidane" She shut her locker and laughed again as she heard his name, she replied "Dagger, pleased to meet you"

Zidane grinned when he heard her name "Interesting...Who's your form tutor?"

"Mrs Bat...Why are you laughing?" She asked fearful of him laughing at her.

"People call her Batty now, it's a long story involving a particle joke I played on her last year. I wonder if she remembers me. Anyway I'm guessing you don't know your way around, so why don't I show you to form room and I can introduce you to my friends?"

"Sure" Dagger hadn't expected to make friends so quickly, she smiled at him. He was very good-looking with his blond hair and blue/green eyes. He looked very much like the king he had adopted the name of in her opinion. The bell rang. Zidane who had been lost looking at the girl in front of him snapped back to reality and took her arm gently leading her through the halls till they came to a door with a glass window. A large group of people were waving at Zidane; he smiled and walked over to the Batty's desk pulling Dagger along behind him. "Why you! I'm keeping my eye on you this year Mr Ryan! And who's this another victim of yours?"

"No! This is my friend, Dagger. And it's nice of you to remember me, Mrs Batty!" Zidane pushed the girl behind him gently towards the desk and went to talk to his friends.

"So are you new to the school or the class?"

"New to the school, miss." Mrs Bat went to add her to the register then asked "Your second name dear?" Dagger stuttered her answer "Gilla"

She turned to the class to see Zidane waving her over to the only spare seat in the class, somehow she got the feeling fate was throwing them together. Lockers next to each other, seats in form next to each other what was next? Maybe it was a mixture of coincidence and her imagination.

I'm not sure whether to continue this really, although the rest of the story is better than the first part, way better. But it bores me typing it up and I don't know if I really can be bothered. It depends on the reaction to it I guess.

Oh and I don't own ff9 or anything related to it, just this story. (thanks to Tacofoolio)
