She looked at Amarant. "I guess I should be more nice to him. Thank you Amarant." She gave him a hug.

He only looked at her, and rolled his eyes.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

The next morning Amarant left the castle early, after informing Queen Garnet. He walked down the streets heading to get breakfast before he left. As he was about to enter a small breakfast diner he saw a whole bunch of people. Curiousity got the best of him, and he walked over to it. Amusement filled his eyes:

It was Zidane, and he was fighting a guy twice his size. Since Zidane was smaller, and less weigh; it appeared he had the upperhand. he simply dodged, and encontered.

In a few seconds he won knocking the guy out. He collected his money,and began to walk away as the crowd decended.

"Zidane," Amanant called out.

Zidane turned around, and saw that it was Amarant. He quickly held his money behind his back. "Whats up Amarant," he said, and walked over to him.

"You should got back to the castle," he got straight to the point.

"I was thinking about it last night, and I will," he said.

He walked over to the diner, and opened the door. Zidane began to walk away. "She misses you," he said, and entered.

Zidane looked at the diner entrance, then left.

Later on around noon, Zidane went back to the castle. He walked around the courtyard to a certain tree. Under the tree he saw just the person he wanted to speak to. He walked over to them, and sat down. Immediatly the person woke up.

"Didn't think you would come back," Beatrix greeted.

"I was thinking about it last night," he paused a moment, and looked at the bouqet of flowers in his hands,"and I was acting rude. I should be more respectful when she has guest over."
"Its just that its boring sometimes. I don't understand how she could be so calm all the time,and polite."

"Well that was the way she was brought up," she informed him.

!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!

Zidane entered the palace, and saw that Queen Garnet was sitting at the table with Steiner eating lunch.

He opened the door, getting both of their attention.

"Zidane"

"Street Rat"

"Rusty let me talk to Dagger alone," he said using her nickname.

Steiner looked to Queen Garnet, and she nodded to him. He got up, and left the room; his armor clunking behind him.

He took a seat, and handed her the flowers.

"Thank you Zidane," she said, sniffing the flowers, and smiling at him.

"Priness," he paused a moment. She looked at him, and gave him, her full attention.

"I'm sorry for the ways I've been acting. I know I can rude sometimes, and for that I apologize," he said with his head hung low.
"Zidane," she paused a moment, "I sorry for the way I yelled at you. I should have told you calmly."

They both looked at each other, and hugged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank you Queen, we really enjoyed our visit," said the Queen of distant land.

"I'm happy you did," said Queen Garnet, as she bowed.

The queen left.

Garnet turned to Zidane, and smiled.

"Now you owe me a favor,"Zidane said with a smile on his face.

"Zidane, I don't think I want to," she said unsurely from alot the staircase.

"Just try it," Zidane yelled from the bottom. "If you fall, I'll catch you."

"Ok," she said, and sat down the stair banister. She slid down........When she got to the bottom she thought she would fall, so she closed her eyes.

...
...
...No fall. She opened her eyes, and saw that Zidane caught her.

"Was it fun," he questioned.

She nodded her head.

"Wanna do it again," he questioned.

"I'll race you to the top," with that she started to run.

"Oh, no you don't," with that he chased after her.
