I NEVER TOLD YOU
WARNING: Do NOT read this if you haven't finished the game!

--------------------

"Zidane!" I yelled as I leapt into his arms. It had been so long. I pulled away for a second. He gave me his 'I told you so' look. But it was more sad than it was cocky. He did say he would come back. But he shouldn't have left in the first place. I thought about how angry I was at him for leaving. I started beating on his chest with my fist. He barely flinched and instead he pulled me closer.
"How did you survive?" I said.
"I knew that I had to," he said to me.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I never told you..."
"....." I stood silently waiting for him to finish his sentence.
"When I was sitting there in the Iifa tree, I realized that I never told you.. that I love you"
"Zidane..." I whispered.

--------------------

She yelled my name as she ran toward me. Before I knew it she was in my arms. I missed her so much. She backed away from me and looked at me. I looked at her.
'I told you I'd come back,' I thought to myself. She started hitting me. I can understand why. I was gone for awhile. I pulled her toward me trying to calm her down.
"How did you survive?" I heard her ask.
So I told her the truth, because I had to survive. She asked me 'Why?'. I thought she knew. Maybe this would be harder that I thought.
"Because I never told you.." I started to say. It was still hard for me to say it. That's why I didn't say it before. I started over, "When I was sitting in the Iifa tree, I realized that I never told you.. that I love you"
I heard her whisper my name. She stood there silently for a few seconds but it felt like an eternity. Would she say anything in return?

--------------------

I stood there, comprehending what he just said. He loves me.. I don't think anyone has said that to me before. I mean, I knew my parents loved me but I never remember them saying it. It felt odd.. having someone tell you that they love you.
"Zidane, I.." I don't know if I can say it. I couldn't even tell Eiko that I love Zidane. How am I supposed to tell him? But I have to tell him.
I decided to try again, "Zidane.. I love you too."

CUE "MELODIES OF LIFE" AND ROLL CREDITS... THE END.

Authors notes: That was my first attempt at a Final Fantasy fanfic. I hope you liked it. I felt that the ending kind of left you hanging so I modified it a bit.. well a lot. I changed everything they said. But the thing that bothered me the most was that they never said 'I love you' in the entire game. That was the main inspiration for this fic. Oh and Ijust have to ask.. Does it bother anyone else that Garnet has 3 names in the game? (Garnet, Dagger, Sarah)
