_____________________________________________
Prologue : Anniversary Day
"Riiiiing!!!!!"
Sound of the alarm clock rung up the whole house. Rinoa slowly fluttered up her eyelashes and peeked at the clock.
"Ah… still early…" she said dreamily and tumbled down her bed again.
In her mind, she guessed Squall wouldn't wake up earlier than her. Suddenly…
"Knock! Knock!"
Rinoa grumbled but went to open the door.
"Squall!!" she exclaimed and slammed the door on his face.
Squall, who was blurry for what was happening, rubbed his nose a few times. He knocked again.
"Just a minute!" Rinoa yelled back.
She cursed herself for letting herself being seen like this and it was Squall!! She felt like slapping herself when she looked at the mirror and saw her messy hair and ugly look. She rushed to pick up her clothes and papers, which were scattering on the floor and quickly went into the bathroom. Meanwhile, Squall waited for her outside her room. In his hands were 6 beautiful, fresh roses. That was they're 6 months anniversary from the day they first met. It's not his idea to give her the flowers, he didn't even THINK of giving her those. Not that he forgets that day but he is just not the romantic kind. It was Zell's who told him to do so (Zell? Why Zell? He is kinda romantic, in my opinion). Squall wore his usual feathery jacket and leather pants but without his gunblade. He made a promise not to bring weapons on their dates.
It took Rinoa 15 minutes to makeover herself. She dressed in her sleeveless black tight fitting shirt and a blue knitted sleeveless overcoat. Of course she didn't forget to bring along her silver necklace. She took the last glance at the mirror and winked to herself before seeing her boyfriend.
"I'm so, so sorry, Squall," she apologized and bowed.
"Hmm…"
"Ok, Ok. I know, I know," she said and gave him a peck on the cheek.
Then he took the flowers and gave them to her.
"Thank you, Squall!" Rinoa exclaimed and gave him a few more kisses.
She is very happy because you can hardly receive any presents from Squall. After that, she quickly pulled Squall away.
They had their breakfast at an open café outside Galbadia Parade. That day was a busy day. With buses and cars on the way, family outing and teenagers dating. Rinoa suddenly recalled the first time they met. He was standing against the pillar with his ever distinguish outfit. She remembered how they dance. How HE danced. She giggled to herself when she imagined it.
"Why are you laughing?" he asked.
"Nothing, just recalled the first time we met," she told him and waited for him to say something.
"Oh…" he replied and continued munching his breakfast.
Rinoa was waiting for him to say more but you know Squall. She sat back and crossed her arms and think why would she fall for this guy, this cold and 'wood' person.
Of course Squall remembered the first time they met. They were at the ballroom. He was tracing the falling shooting star when he saw Rinoa pointing at it too. He must admit she was very beautiful in her shimmering white dress. At that time, he knew she is the one for him. She is the one he will spend his life with. Without her, he wouldn't he the Squall Leonhart of today. Though he seldom tells her but deep in his heart, he really cares for her, he loves her. Only thing is it's kinda hard for him to express his feelings.
*Did I say something?
He asked himself when he saw Rinoa in her mood. He quickly pays the bill and pulled her away.
"Come!"
He held her hand when they were walking at the pavements. It's the few times Squall held her hands, it's the few times they have dates. All they see each other is during battles or some big thing happens. Rinoa was back to normal again. She smiled and leaned closer to Squall. On their way, they saw Selphie and Zell.
"Hi!" Rinoa greeted.
"Yo!" Zell and Selphie greeted back, they were carrying a big sack with them.
"What are you guys doing here?" Rinoa asked.
They looked at Squall for the answer.
"I guess they were just finished their training?" he lied.
"Y…yeah! We were going to have our breakfast here," Selphie answered.
"All the way from Balamb?" Rinoa asked and widen her eyes.
"Yeah! We knew Galbadia has the best sandwiches and cappuccino!" Zell said.
There was a bit of silence before…
"Where's Irvine?" Squall asked.
"He is still in Balamb Garden," Zell answered.
"Balamb? What's HE doing there?" Rinoa asked and feeling confused.
*Something is very wrong here.
"Ah! Hahahaha, we invited him for a project. He is still doing it, hahaha," Zell told her and made a few fake laughs.
"What is th…" Rinoa asked halfway pointing at the sack but was interrupted by Selphie.
"I guess we are disturbing you two. We'll disappear now!" Selphie said and poked Zell with her arm.
"Yeah! Bye!"
And off they ran away as fast as they could. They glanced back and sweat dropped.
"They are weird today, wonders what happened," Rinoa commented.
"I don't know," Squall said (this guy can act!).
After a day of fun and spending some mushy moments, Squall send her back to her house. They went to the parade to shop and Rinoa forced…no, ASKED Squall to buy her a hat. Eventually, he obeyed. After saying goodnight to each other, Rinoa kissed Squall. He let out a heavy sigh after she went into the house. If they were not careful today, Rinoa should have known their mischief by now.
Back in Garden, he quickly ran to his dorm and found his fellow friends there.
"Hi, Squall. How's your day?" Zell asked while putting back Squall's book back to the shelves.
"Where's the stuff?" Squall asked ignoring his question.
"All right here," Zell said and showed him the sack.
"Luckily Rinoa doesn't know about this," he added.
"You two nearly spill the beans today!" his friend talked in his louder than usual voice.
"We'll watch our mouth," Selphie assured him and sat back at his sofa, checking her nails.
After the silence,
"Where's Irvine? I haven't seen him around today," Squall asked.
The cowboy-look-alike friend of his came in and shone them with his brightest smile.
"Looking for me?" he asked.
"Where's are they?" Zell asked.
"Here," he patted his pocket.
"But we still need….." Selphie started.
"The scores," they said together and sighed.
"Hopefully Quistis can give us the scores fast, we still haven't got everything yet, we need time," Irvine said and all eyes were on him.
"What do you mean WE haven't got EVERYTHING yet?" Selphie asked and gave him the eye.
"Opps,"
"Um… I went to fight the T-rex, it's so powerful! And I can't get the Dino Bone…" he said and soften his voice at the last sentence.
"You what?!" the girl said in disbelieve and rolled her eyes.
"I bet he went somewhere else flirting and neglected his duty," Zell accused.
"Hey, you! Don't accuse me for what I didn't do or else!" Irvine said and aimed his shotgun to his friend.
"Wanna challenge me? Good!" Zell got excited and did his rush fist.
"Stop it! Thanks Irvine, I'll go get it tomorrow," Squall got up, thanked him and walked away.
"See? Squall's pissed off because of you!" Zell scolded.
"No, he is not!" Irvine defended himself.
"Ok, you two. It's sleep time!" Selphie cast the Sleep spell on them and they went into deep sleep.
Squall went to meet Quistis and accidentally saw her along the hallway.
"Hi, Squall," she greeted and walked towards him.
"I'm so sorry. I guess I have to hand in the scores later. I'm kinda busy these days. I hate it when my fan club's member always chase me around," she explained and glanced at the back. Once she did that, a group of younger girls and boys started jumping around and screamed excitedly.
"Once I started to play at the piano, I'll hear screams and shrieks and my instinct flew away," she explained and sighed.
Squall pitied his instructor. The moment he looked at that bunch of kids, they glared at him. They were thinking why is he with her. Without saying much, he nodded and agreed to let her have her time. Then he went back to his dorm. He glanced back to see if anyone's following him.
He changed into his pajamas and lied on his bed thinking if Rinoa would like the present he is going to give her. Whether she'll be happy or not. Halfway thinking, he slept.
