Author: Hi everyone, I finally have a chance to post my first FF9 fanfic. To me, this is just utter pointlessness. I just hope I don't get bad reviews. That's all. So, start reading.
MELODIES OF LIFE
Late one night, Dagger got up from her bed. She couldn't sleep even though it was already midnight. She wondered why.
How come I can't sleep, nothing is even bothering me, why?, she thought.
She walked up to her window and opened it. She gazed up to the sky as she wondered. The sky was beautiful. The stars formed shapes of which she recognizes. She never noticed that even once. Is it because of stress? No, that wasn't it. Maybe she was scared. Scared of Zidane leaving her again. Zidane… That name always makes her relaxed for some reason. She thought deeply now. She tried to remember the time she first saw him. The adventures they shared. The moments he comforted her when she was sad of depressed. Zidane was her hope. She recalled all the conversations they had especially the on they had when he came back to her.

The play was over. Zidane was back. Dagger never felt so happy in her entire life before. She quietly knocked on Zidane's door. Of course, he answered it. He motioned Dagger to come in and sat at the edge of the bed.
"Why? Why did you leave, even though you know the danger that you have to face?"
"Because his my brother and he was dying."
"I don't understand. Even though he changed, he still destroyed a lot of things. His home, Gaia and he also ruined many lives."
"Well, people sometimes don't know the path that they should follow. Maybe because they couldn't see the light to lead them. Others may know what is right of wrong but they don't understand. I guess we need others to help us understand. We need to find support and happiness to lead us a good life and go to the right path. They're the Melodies of Life."
"Melodies of Life?"
"Yup. Kuja wasn't able to have them. Because of the hatred that he felt. That's why I went back to him. We have to understand some people's hearts."
"I see. So, Kuja found the light, but it was too late." "I guess I better get going now. Thank you for telling me that."
Dagger bid Zidane good night and went back to her room.

She remembered it so well. It taught her to understand and forgive others. After recalling that moment. She relaxed a little bit more. As if all her problems disappeared. She thought of her song. No, it was their song. The song of melodies. The Melodies of Life. She started it.
"As long as we remember.", she finished the song. And after a little while, she fell asleep beside her window. And was finally off to the dream world once more.
Melodies of Life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds.
Forever and beyond.
