Nanakiyoda: Alright, I've been wanting to do a Final Fantasy Eight Fanfic for a while, but I was lacking in subject and idea. Then I thought about how I have my handy little video camera on me sometimes and how I'm always video taping me and my friends. Then it dawned that I should go on that. A fairly simple idea right? Besides, I need some time out from my own camera and movie I making for just me and my friends or I'll eventually just get so tired of it I'll quit. So here goes with this idea anyways, let me know how I'm doing on it by review, whether it sucks or not.

Galbadia-After Events of FF8-Rinoa

I had returned home. I wasn't so sure about meeting up with the General, having left on bad terms, but he had requested to see me again. The front gate guard was showing me into the mansion. Once I had stepped inside, I was escorted to the very same room the General had tried to lock me in, back when Edea was under Ultimacia's control. I walked to the desk, and sat in the chair behind it. So Quistis, Selphie and Zell had to escape out of here? I've known about the statue, but...the walk through the sewers and all those monsters was always too much of a pain. I reached my hand up to my necklace, which contained two rings now, one more that it had the last time I had been here. Squall's ring. Squall and Irvine were at the carosel tower while Quitis, Selphie and Zell were locked in here. I put their mission to assassinate Edea in danger. All over me and the General's quarrel. I just wanted to help them, that's all. Glancing up, I saw the general walk into the room, as always, in his military attire.

"Rinoa." He said, then stopped, as if wanting to say more but not knowing where to start.

"General." I acknowledged. He nodded and sighed.

"I've heard, many...events...have happened. I have heard for most of them to be true." He said. I nodded.

"Much has happened." I said.

"Rinoa...I've heard that you are a sorceress now. Is that true?" He asked. I looked into my father's eyes. THe last soceress he knew, he had tried to lead the assassination on.

"Yes." I replied. I don't mean to sound so cold...it's just...so much fighting between us...it's hard not to be cold.

"You have found a Knight too, haven't you?" He asked. I smiled. So this is what this is about. My Knight. He's scared that Daddy's little girl going off with some Knight in shining armor.

"A knight in training, yes." I answered, my index finger slipping on the Griever ring.

"How...How far has this...Knight...go-" General Caraway started, but I stood up and smiled, trying not to laugh.

"Relax old man. It's not like that. Squall and I are only merely just st-" I started but Caraway looked at me strangely.

"Squall? The SeeD Squall? The one young man who was the leader of the group assigned to assassinate Edea? The one whose been in the Headlines about some Futuristic sorceress? The crazy person who supposedly took you into outer space? That Squall!" Caraway asked, panicy and questionably. I couldn't have helped it even if I had tried. I started laughing. I fell to my knees, clutching my sides, and laughed. When I had calmed down enough, I stood back up and put my hands behind my back, struting a little bit around the room, debating whether to tell him about Squall or not.

"Yes General, that very same Squall." I answered after stopping in front of him.

"He's clearly out of his mind Rinoa!" Caraway protested.

"Maybe," I said, rocking back and forth on my hells and toes, "but, I trust him completely. He's saved my life countless times, and he makes me happy.". Caraway stood there and shook his head.

"Well I don't trust him. I want you to video tape him. I want to see what kind of a person he is." Caraway started. Again, I laughed.

"Video tape Squall? That's a good one!" I said. Squall hates attention, much less constantly being watched for his performance.

"Fine, if he's difficult to catch on camera, I'll just do it myself!" Caraway said indefinately.

"What are you going to do? Follow him all day with a camera?" I asked, and let out another laugh.

"Rinoa, remark my words, I will find out just who exactly is this Squall." Caraway said. I nodded and smiled. Go ahead and try. It took me awhile before he even began to open up to me.

"Good luck. Well, if that's all, I should probably get back to him. It was nice seeing you again General." I said, and left the room.

Galbadia Hotel-minutes later-Rinoa

After my walk to the hotel, I went straight into the room reserved for me. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I stretched out my arms and yawned. Quitis walked into the room. Squall had to do something with the Garden's situation, and the aftermath of things...he wouldn't allow me to just go alone. Not with as many people fearful of sorceresses. I fell back unto my bed.

"How did it go?" Quitis asked, crossing the room and sitting on my bed beside me. I giggled and sat up.

"Well, Daddy wanted to know what me and Mr. Knight were doing, if you catch my drift." I said. Quitis smiled and chuckled.

"Oh? General Caraway wanted to know if you were um...doing the dirty deed with...Sq-hahaa!" She couldn't even finish before she fell back onto my bed herself. I smiled.

"Get this, Caraway wants to video tape Squall too." I said. Quitis calmed herself, and sat up, then looked me straight into the eye.

"Re...Re-re-really! Hahahaha!" She laughed out and stood up.

"Well, I would like to see that. Even if General Caraway could manage to find a way to video tape him, how long do you honestly think that Squall will put up with it?" Quitis asked.

"I'm not sure. I would like to see how for myself as well." I answered. Quitis sighed and walked over to her bed, sitting down and removing her shoes.

"Well, tomorrow we are going to head over to Timber. The Garden is there right now, trying to re-establish order within the city." Quitis said and set her whip on the nightstand. I laid back down on my bed.

"You know, Timber was one of the few places I expected to riot and revolt as soon as Ultimecia was finished off..." I muttered out. Memories of Zone and Watts floated into my head, of us three promising to liberate Timber together.

"Mmhmm..." Quitis mumbled, showing her loss of interest.

"Where is everyone stationed at anyways?" I asked.

"Selphie and Irvine, at Trabia Garden. Zell is with them." She muttered with a tone of finalization. She was ready to sleep. I clicked off my lamp and she clicked hers off too. I tried closing my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but being the insomniac I am I found it was going to be a fight. Finally, after much deliberation, I gave up and gently left my bed, walking towards the door, while Quitis's soft snores made the only noise in the room.

NISHED

Nanakiyoda: Well, that was a good start...I think? Let me know. After all, how am I suppose to know what pleases you? I only know what I want to write.
