Chapter I: Introduction
It was a warm summer evening in Alexandria and Garnet sat on a blanket in the shades under some beautiful trees and was reading a book, beside her she had her daughter Bree, who rested after running around the big Castle yard, even if she and Zidane, who where now king, were quite young (23) they were good parents and both loved their new life together.
It had been many years since she became 16 and her world had been turned upside down by kuja and the loss of her mother, queen brahne and even longer since she lost her real mother, but Every time Garnet closed her eyes and dreamed away she could still hear her mother's voice and her struggle to bring herself and Garnet to safety that awful night, and the cirkumsances how she came to this kingdom as an orphan and was discovered by the royal household, and became the daughter of the king and queen.
She herself as the Queen now had led the reconstruction of Alexandria. Her hands, once soft and smooth had been toughened by weapons during their journey, but it had been worth it she thought while she sat there.
Alexandria and the neighbouring countries had suffered very much when her mother, Queen Brahne attacked Alexandria, Burmecia, Lindblum and Cleyra, leaving nothing else than ruins of the once flourishing cities and some survivors, but she had been under control of Kuja, a creepy, evil person with strong magical powers, Luckily the other countries were also in the progress of rebuilding, and the people there had returned to fairly.
Garnet took her eyes of bree she was talking to as she heard someone's footstep coming closer towards her, When she did she saw Zidane standing there, looking at her and smiled with the whole face. "Were have you been, I have been worried sick since you did not show up at dinner" Garnet said, "I have taken a stroll around the city" he replied "for six hours ?" she asked with worry in her voice "well, I have taken care of some things, errands you know." Zidane explained to calm her down.
After a few hours there, Colours of orange, red and pink started to fill the evening sky but it was warm like it was still mid-day,
"It´s getting late so I will get Bree into bed" Zidane said as he looked at the sundial "OK, but hurry back I will be waiting here for you" she said before she kissed him "mom, dad, you are embarrassing me" Bree said as she pulled her Fathers pants "do we sweetie?" Zidane said with amusement in his voice "Yeah, you do" she replied with the most grown up voice she could muster, "go now, Bree are embarrassed by her romantic parents" Garnet said, giggling softly "I will, when I come back we can take a stroll around the yard" Zidane said, and gently kissed garnet on the cheek before he made his way into the castle with their daughter.
It slowly got darker but the sky was clear, the stars was shining and the moon looked like a pool of milk suspended in the black sky. And after a while, Zidane were coming down the lawn towards Garnet and there were a sudden silence between them two. Garnet looked up at the midnight sky and fixed her eye on the moon, Zidane kissed her and said "I Love You." And they spent a wonderfull evening by the little lake garnet had moved the blanket to and they had dinner there.
