Chapter 1 Victory
Rinoa searched all over the plains near Edea's house but still no sign of Squall. 'Where could he be? Could he have forgotten our promise? I'll just have to look for him then if he's not going to remember'. Using her sorceress powers Rinoa began teleporting around the world in search of Squall.
Squall was walking alone in the dessert. ' God I'm supposed to be somewhere but where?'. All the while he was walking he kept seeing flashes of memories of a girl but she didn't have a face. 'Who is the girl? Where am I supposed to be?'. Not knowing where to go Squall just kept walking for hours. He later then collapsed and passed out.
Rinoa finally came across Squall. "Oh God!" she yelled and ran and fell at his side. She hugged him to her chest crying "please don't be dead Squall please" .She then teleported them to the infirmary on Garden.
"Dr. Kadowaki!" screamed Rinoa. Dr. kadowaki got up from her desk and ran over to Squall and Rinoa "what happened Rinoa?". "I don't know I found him collapsed in the dessert!" Rinoa said crying. "Okay I'm going to help him but you need to wait outside" replied Dr. Kadowaki. Rinoa nodded slowly, kissed Squall on the forehead and left the room. Outside the infirmary Rinoa sits down on the floor back against a wall to wait. ' I hope he'll be alright'.
Dr. Kadowaki stepped out of the Infirmary to find Rinoa asleep on the floor. 'She must be exhausted'. "Rinoa" Dr. Kadowaki said quietly as she shook Rinoa. "Hmmm?" Rinoa mumbled as she woke up. "Is he alright Dr.?" She asked looking worried. "Yes he is and you can go in now and see him" replied Kadowaki. Rinoa rose slowly from the floor still slow from sleep "thanks".
Rinoa walked into the Infirmary and sat down on a chair beside Squall's bed. His eyes were closed so she called to him quietly "Squall wake up". Upon hearing his name Squall's eyes opened slowly. "Rinoa" he breathed. "How you feeling?" She asked smiling. "Better now that I know your safe. What about the others are they alright too?" asked Squall slightly blushing. "There all fine we all made it out alright, it just seems that you couldn't find your way out of the time compressed world" said Rinoa. "Whatever" Squall replied looking away. "Didn't you remember our promise to meet in the field near Edea's orphanage?" Rinoa asked taking his hands in hers. "I tired to but for some reason I just couldn't remember it and I kept seeing memories of you but you didn't have a face and it was all fuzzy. So I just kept walking hoping I would remember" said Squall quietly looking back at Rinoa. "Side effect of being in time compression I guess. It's a I good thing I found you then" replied Rinoa. "Ya whatever let's just not do it ever again" Squall said smiling. "Well we have to get you smiling more Commander you just look so cute when you do it. She giggled smiling back. "Whatever" Squall replied blushing a slight shade of red. "We also have to get you to stop saying whatever so much" teased Rinoa as she smiled at his embarrassment. "Whatever" they both said in unison then burst out laughing. "Alright maybe I do say it a little too often" replied Squall still smiling. "Just maybe" Rinoa giggled. 'Man that smile does things to a girl's inside's.' Just then the door opened and Dr. Kadowaki walked in "sorry to interrupt you guys but the Commander needs to get some rest. Oh and Rinoa, Cid want's to see you in his office as soon as possible". "I'll guess I'll be leaving then" Rinoa said sighing. She got off her chair and bent down and gave Squall a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Squall I'll come see you in a little bit". Squall blushed again but smiled and said "bye Rinoa". Rinoa then left the room. ' I wish I wasn't stuck in here, I really want to spend more time with Rinoa'. "So Doc how long am I going to be stuck in here?" Squall asked sighing. "I think just over night as long as nothing comes up in the tests I'm running. Now get some rest" Dr. Kadowaki commanded. "Alright" Said Squall rolling over and trying to go to sleep.
