++++++++++++++++++++++++
Squall stood there in the middle of the field of flowers. He was in one of his
deep thoughts again. He was thinking of his past. His past was nothing to him,
but something keeps on making him think back. It was Rinoa, he knew he had seen
her before, somewhere back in his childhood.
Flashback…
The 8 year old Squall stood there in the flower field. His friends were all
down at the beach playing cops. Squall was out there looking at the night sky. Watching the stars.
Then something caught his eyes. It was a girl, about his age walking into the
field. He remembers a tall man walking into the gray, stoned house. The girl
had a dog with her. She was wearing a blue jacket. She looked like one of those
rich kids. Squall just looked away. "Hey there…" She said. "…" Squall didn't
want to said anything, but looked at the sky. She sat
down next to him, and let go of her dog. "Why are you not over there with the
other kids?" She asked. He
didn't answer. "Leave me alone." He told her. She just giggled then
looked up at the stars. "So you watch the stars too?" she asked. He then turned
around and looked at her. Her raven black hair was down freely. Her face was
cheerful. All he could do
was stare. "Aaaa…yeah, I
watch the stars." He quickly answered. "Oh cool! I do too, just to think…"
She said.
"Oh really?" He asked as he got up to sit. "Oh yeah,
when I want to think I would go look at the stars, or talk to my mother, but after my mother died I
couldn't talk to her anymore…" She said. "Oh…" was all that came
out of Squall's month. "Sorry." He said. She just giggled. "It's alright!" She
said. Squall really wanted to ask her questions about her, but he kelp quite, he didn't want to talk
about anything, or worry about anyone. The girl and Squall sat out there
talking for a bit and looking at the stars. "So why are you here?" He asked.
"Well my father wanted to talk to Cid about something." She said. "Oh okay." He said. "Why
are you here?" She then asked. Squall pushed his brown hair away from his face.
"I'm here…I'm here because my parents didn't want me…" He said. She just looked
at him, not understanding for her age. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." She said.
"It's alright, you're the 1st person I have told in years."
He said. "Hey we have been talking but we haven't know
each others names…" She said. "Well my name is Squall Leonheart.
"Yours?" he said then
asked. "Cool name! My name is Rin…" She said
then someone was shouting for her. "Hey honey please we have to go now! It's
getting late!!" her father was calling for her. "Sorry, well gotta go, I hope we can see each other some other time!" She
told him as her dog ran
for her. She started to walk away. "Wait!" Squall shouted. "Yea Squall?"
she asked. "What's your name?" he asked. "Oh, almost forgot. My name is…"
End of Flashback
Squall was snapped out of thinking by Rinoa. She was now standing right next to him in the flower
field. She smiled at him. She then giggled when Squall jumped. "Hey Squall,
welcome back to earth!" She giggled. "Haha,
very funny." He said. It was
quite for a minute.
Squall then laid down on the flowers. Rinoa just sat down next
to him. Then Angelo ran up to her. "Hey girl…" She said. Angelo licked her
and there was a note on her neck. It was from Zell, Sephie, Irvine, and Quistis. "Oh what's this?" she asked and pulled out the
note. Squall just laid there still staring at the sky.
Rinoa read it to herself.
Yo ya two! We're going to hang
here to night, maybe camp out on the beach and all. Edea
and Cid said that they don't mind. So just don't worry about going back to the garden
tonight, and Rinoa tell Squall to relax and enjoy life. Well we're going to set
up a BBQ any minute by now, come join us if you want. Well laters!
-Zell
P.S. Sephie and Quistis is
saying how good you two would look together. Ha! In fact everyone think so!
Rinoa giggled after reading it. She then looked a Squall. He was staring at
her. His face had a billion words on it. She just gaze
into his dreamy eyes. Those eyes has millions and
billions of things in them. From happiness to pain. From Love to hate. Those ice blue eyes of his had it all. "Whoa…"She
quietly said. She then snapped out of it when Squall moved his eyes. "So what
did it said?" He asked. "Oh the gang
tonight is going to camp out on the beach, and their
going to start BBQ any time now…" She answered to him. Then they could smell the meat on the grill. "Yup,
they already started…" Squall said, and gave a little laugh. She just giggled
again. Then the sky turned dark the stars came out one by one. Squall sighed.
Rinoa just sat next to him, as Angelo ran back to the beach.
They both watched the stars. "I remembered watching the stars when I was
little…" Rinoa said. "Oh really?" Squall asked.
"Yea, I would sit in my room, or on an open field and start to think about my
life ahead, or my past. Or the wonders of the world." She
said and smiled. "Oh that's cool." He said. "When I was little, I didn't sit in
my room and all, but I sat here. Just here looking at the stars, while the
others would go down to the beach and play and all. But…" He suddenly stopped. "But what?" Rinoa said
and had a confused face on. "But there's this one time…" His voice faded. "I remember, I was around 8. Ellone
have just gone somewhere else, and I was alone. I was sad and mad, and didn't
want anyone to come near
me. I can't even talk any more. But that one night, this
girl. She had a puppy that looks like Angelo. This one girl about my age
came that night. Her dad, I think came to talk to Headmaster Cid about Garden.
The gang was all down at the beach to test out some fireworks that Seifer founded. I didn't wanna go
so I sat here. That little girl was so cute. She had raven
black hair…" He said. Rinoa looked at her hair. It was raven black too. "Her
eyes, her eyes were speaking in the night sky. Those were the deepest brown eyes I have ever
looked into." He said. Rinoa then realize that she had brown eyes. "She wasn't
shy. She wanted to know why I was sitting here all alone and why I wasn't
hanging down there. I was being rude at 1st but then we started to talk. Her puppy just ran
off somewhere. We talked and looked at the stars for an hour or so, then she had to go. I never got her name. Or I did but just couldn't
remember it. But she was the greatest." Squall finished to
find Rinoa in tears.
"Oh Rinoa, I didn't mean to make you cry, are you alright?" He asked.
"No Squall, you don't understand. That girl with the puppy, and raven black
hair was me. I was here once when I was little. That was the 1st time I met
you." She said. Squall pictured the girl from his
childhood, and Rinoa. They really do look alike. Squall then opened his arm,
and hugged Rinoa.
"I knew, I'd find you again someday. And here we are today…" He said.
Rinoa just gave a light nod. She also knew she would find that little boy again. The held
each other. Then stood up, and walked over to the beach with their friends. It
was a wonderful night in the flower field.
