AUTHOR'S NOTES: First off, I want to apologize to all the fans of my ongoing fic Stories. Sorry that I'm not out updating that one, but this popped into my head while I was in the bath and wouldn't go away. So here it is.
Second, and most important, this fic was inspired by a song written by Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin. It is not, per se, a song-fic, but the song is important. So, all credit where it is due to Sir Elton John. The song is called Cold and is from his 1995 album Made in England.
I hope you enjoy it. I know I liked writing it. And, Sir Elton, if you happen to be reading this, thanks for the wonderful music throughout the years.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Final Fantasy IX, any of the characters from that game or Sir Elton John's song COLD. I do, however love all three and felt the need to use them in this story that I am making no money from. It is strictly for my own amusement and the amusement of others via fanfiction.net.
I do own this story however. Do not copy or plagiarize my work or re-post it without my permission.

"I'm sorry, Zidane. I just don't love you anymore."
He'd known she was lying--he could see it in her eyes. But she was trying to do what was best for Alexandria. And staying with him just wasn't it. The country needed money and influence both after the debacle with Queen Bhrane.
The new Regent of Lindblum could provide both.
And five minutes ago, Dagger had told him that she was marrying the bastard.
He understood responsibility. The Genomes and the remaining Black Mages had become his.
But some things transcended responsibility and duty. He thought she knew that by now.
But it didn't matter. She was leaving him.
All he could feel was the pain. And cold.
