Chapter Two - Party Time
Zell walked over to the pile of wood that they had gathered for the bonfire, carefully he struck a match and tossed it onto the kerosene soaked wood, it caught fire instantly.
"Party time!" Yelled Zell.
Irvine reached into the trunk and took out the bottle of whiskey, as Selphie was walking over he took her by the arm.
"Hey!" She exclaimed. "Whats the big dea..." She saw the full bottle. "Oh"
Together they walked over to the fire and took seats in the sand, and started on the bottle. Zell made his way over to the car and grabbed one of the cases of beer as well as the winecoolers, while Quistis carried the bottle of Vodka. Upon coming to the fire, Zell opened one of the cases and tossed a Beer to Squall who caught it effortlessley.
"Cheers!" Said Zell as he opened the can and began to drink furiously.
Squall looked over at Rinoa who had already opened her Wine Cooler and was already starting to drink with Quistis.
"What the hell." Said Squall as he cracked open the beer can and took a drink.
If Squall had been afraid of getting caught, he'd long forgotten it after his fifth beer or so, as had everyone else, now all they were worried about was keeping the music up loud enough for everybody at the party could hear. Squall looked at the group. Zell was passed out on the sand and was drooling, a half eaten hotdog rested in his hand, Quistis was only a few feet from him passed out as well. Irvine and Selphie were whispering and giggling by the fire, and Rinoa was sitting by the waterfront, a wine cooler rested in her hand.
Squall stood up and made his way over to her, she turned as he approached and then smiled as he sat down, she snuggled up to him as he did, and he wrapped his arms around her. She put her head against his chest and listened to his heart beat, it's rythmic thumping was soothing and made her relax and the scent of his cologne was mezmerizing. She felt safe in his arms and she never wanted him to let go.
"Squall." She whispered. "Do you love me?"
"Yes I do." He replied.
"Do you want children?" She asked.
The question caught him off guard. "Well, uh yeah, I guess, someday."
"Me too." She whispered, and then she passed out.
Squall layed down carefully, so he wouldn't wake her. He put his arms around her and pulled her as close to him as possible, and together they slept under the moon on the cool beach.
