Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy 8.....that's about it.....
Note: Takes place after the game, just a cute Rinoa x Squall, many chapters ahead...I think this is one of the few storys that is plain Romance and has more than one chapter....anywhoo, make sure to review it once you're done!! And to the convenience of some people all you need to do is to read the first chapter (this one) and read anyone from there, you don't even have to read in order, each one begins a new little event....pretty cool huh?

Chapter 1: A Race....
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rinoa Heartily sat quietly in the quad on one of the bench's near by watching the stars sit quietly in their respected positions as their world orbited around the sun. 'The stars never change their positions,' she thought as she reached hand up to the sky as if she could touch one.
"There to far away," came a husky voice from her left. She looked to her left to find the one she loved, Squall Leonhart.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as he came down the steps to sit next to her.
"Ditto." was all he said as he sat down next to her. Rinoa giggled lightly and scooted closer to him, in response Squall rapped his arm around her shoulder.
"I felt like coming out here, that's all." Rinoa responded.
"I came to find you, and to watch the stars," he said as he gazed up at the stars with her, "lets make a deal." Rinoa gave Squall a bamboozled look, he gave a quick chuckle.
"Like what kind of deal?" she asked.
"When we see the next shooting star, I get a kiss, when we see two shooting stars side by side shoot through the sky, lets get married." he said smiling as he continued to look up at the stars. Rinoa's eyes widened, was he serious, get married? I never thought of us as that kind of couple, were only 18, we've been going out for a year, we haven't had sex, we haven't done most of that really, REAL, couple stuff.
"ok!" she blurted out, after saying this she quickly covered her hand with her mouth, 'I guess I must want this, if I just blurted it out.' she thought as she looked to the rings on her necklace, she looked up to help find some shooting stars with Squall.
"There is one!" he yelled. She looked up, there was no shooting star.,"now I get a kiss!" he said turning towards her.
"Hey!" she yelled slightly moving away from him, "there was no shooting st-" but she couldn't finish her sentence, Squall had smashed his lips against hers, almost sucking the words right out of her mouth. Rinoa felt her self give in to the kiss, and she began to return it.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Rinoa awoke by a loud knocking sound, she turned over and over to try to make the sound go away, it wouldn't. "I'm coming goddamit!" she yelled out to the door. She slowly got up, put on her robe and headed for the door. She opened the door to find Miss. Ultimate Sunshine of happiness, Selphie.
"Are you coming with us or not!?" she asked highly agitated.
"Going where?" Rinoa asked.
"To the race, DUH!" Selphie said grabbing Rinoa's hand and walking into Rinoa's room. Selphie closed the door for them.
"What race?" she asked gathering her clothes up.
"You mean Squall didn't tell you!?" she asked her mouth gaping open.
"No..." she said trailing off, as she entered the bathroom to get changed. Selphie walked up to the door of the bathroom that was now closed.
"The car race between Seifer, Squall and Zell?" she said trying to remind Rinoa of the race.
"I'm there!" she said popping her head out of the bathroom but quickly recoiling her head and closing the door again, "but Squall didn't tell me." she said coming out of the bathroom.
"Well who cares!" Selphie said happily grabbing Rinoa's hand and running off to where the race was.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The race seemed to be just outside Balamb Garden on the wide open planes that seemed to stretch for thousands of miles. Rinoa looked to the red car, it was Squall's. Squall saw her looking at him and he gave her a wink, she just smiled and blew him a kiss. She looked a little farther and saw Zell's blue car, and farther than that was Seifer's green car. "Rinoa!" someone called, it was Irvine, "we need you to start the race!" Rinoa sat up, took the black and white flag from his hand and ran to the side of the cars.
"ONE!" she yelled, "TWO!" she yelled again, "THREE!" she yelled as she waved the flag up and down, and with that the cars were off, she lowered the flag to her side, "what is the track like?" she asked Irvine who was walking up to her.
"well," he began, "they start at the Garden like you just saw, they go off road, when they get to Balamb, they turn around and head straight back to here." he explained as he pointed to all the locations. A few minutes had passed beofre Rinoa could see the cars come speeding down to the finish line, she squinted her eyes so she could see which car was in the lead, she couldn't tell, all she knew was that they were drawing ever closer with every breath. She stood up from her sitting position on the ground. The cars were close now, she raised the checkered flag high above her head. She saw one of the cars pass the line, she waved the flag up and down signaling the race was over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was dinner when Rinoa swallowed the last of her champagne and looked over to Squall who was making his champagne swirl around in the glass with a flick of his wrist. Squall felt eyes upon him and his eyes turned to look at Rinoa who was watching the liquid swirl instead of him. "You want to kiss me." he said playfully as he began to swirl the liquid more rapidly.
"I want to kiss the glass," Rinoa said a smile growing on her face, Squall laughed.
"Congrats!" someone called behind them, they both turned to look at Quitis, "you won the race!" she congratulated, "some road demon you are!" she said to him as she took a seat next to them. Rinoa looked away from Quitis, Rinoa didn't exactly like Quistis, she had said she had given up hope of trying to date Squall when she came into the scene, but now that they were dating she seems to be trying harder.
"pissoff" Rinoa mumbled very agitated of her presense, 'go hit on another taken man,' she thought angrily as she looked at her empty plait, the cafeteria food wasn't exactly perfect, but it did the job of filling you up. Rinoa took a quick glance over to Quitis and what she found made her eyes widen, she was actually trying to feed food to Squall! Fortunately Squall kept backing away from the food trying to be plunged into his mouth.
"Quitis, stop," he said, his patients with her begin to try, she seemed to keep going at it, what was she doing trying to seduce him!?,"Quitis!!!" he yelled, "STOP!" he yelled again as he pushed the food aside from his mouth. She began to cry, "stop that!" he said begining to get very angry.
"Shit," Quitis cursed as she removed her hands away from her eyes, there were no tears, she was faking.......

So well, What did you think!? This is going to be a big long fic....and remember when the next chapter comes up there will be another one along with it, you can choose either one....each chapter has a particular story line....good idea, no?
