I'm back! Did ya miss me::long silence:: Yeah yeah, whatever. I dunno about you guys, but I thought about each and everyone of you the whole time! Yep::nods:: Really, you guys are too great…by giving me all these reviews. Especially when I get new reviewers::waves to new reviewers:: I've noticed that everybody really hates Scarlet huh? You just want to slice her up into little pieces and throw her into the garbage? Well, finally I tortured Scarlet a little bit! (Well…maybe a lot.)

Also, people have noticed that I've gotten little scenes from my favorite movies. (Raise your voice, Never Been Kissed, etc.) and the scene that Zidane leaves all of the messages to Dagger, and has that big stereo that has the "Baby Come Back" song I got from an 80's movie that I watched a while back. I just take some of the scenes and…spice them up a little!

Wow…I really wrote a lot! So…I should be getting to the story…oh, and I tried to torture Scarlet a little bit. I'm leaving the really bad torturing for the prom.

Have fun reading Just Love to HATE You!

Oh and, you may notice that I introduced some new characters:D

Just Love to HATE You

Chapter 21: REVENGE! Oh how sweet it is!

Dagger's eyes opened up to the ceiling. Her warm blankets covering her. Sunlight poured into her room, and a cool breeze came from outside, from her window.

Well, time to get up and go to school…Zidane will probably be waiting for me-,

Suddenly, Dagger remembered about the whole drama she had with Zidane and Scarlet. Her stomach immediately dropped.

Oh crap. Now I don't want to go to school!

She then remembered what her mother said about coming home at 10:00 at night yesterday. She was probably here!

Great! This day keeps on getting better and better, and I didn't even start the day yet!!!

Dagger sighed and moaned under her blankets. She was going to have to get out of her bed someday.

So reluctantly, Dagger get out of her bed and stretched. She did her morning routine as in make her bed, brush her teeth, take a shower, get dressed, and do her hair.

Dagger let her hair down, and grabbed her book bag. She knew that when she was going to go to the living room, her mother would probably yell at her because she didn't obey her orders. But Dagger didn't care. She was ready to fight back.

Dagger slowly went down the stairs to see her mother in the kitchen making breakfast.

"G-Good morning mother." Dagger said softly.

Brahne then turned around from the stove and looked at her daughter. She smiled…but it looked like a fake smile.

"Good morning Garnet! I came home last night to see that you were already asleep!" Brahne said, putting eggs and bacon on a plate and putting it on the table for Dagger to eat it. Brahne then sat down across from Dagger.

"Oh…I was really tired that night, so I decided to go to sleep." Dagger said smiling.

Brahne then watched Dagger as she eat her eggs. She let out a slight sigh.

"Garnet, what happened while I was gone? Tell me everything that happened to you." Brahne said quietly.

Dagger looked up at her mother and smiled. "Mother, if you've noticed, I've changed. I've made a lot of friends at Stony Brook high, I got into chorus, I've changed my sense of fashion, I now know how to play softball I-,"

"Winston said you have a boyfriend." Brahne said quickly. "Is that true?"

Dagger looked at her mother. She looked like she was going to blow up with rage if Dagger didn't answer the question right.

"No. Not anymore." Dagger said strongly.

"What do you mean, NOT ANYMORE?" Brahne asked curiously.

"I did have a boyfriend mother. His name is Zidane Tribal. The real reason why I went to bed early was because of him. We're just having…problems." Dagger said.

Brahne continued to look at her.

Oh god Dagger, you really screwed it up there…

"Mother I-I quit debutant lessons. I don't want to become a debutant. I really like singing. And I'm really good! And it would mean the WORLD to me if you would just listen to me sing. You've been so hard on me the past few years and…I'm sick of it! I want to do my own things." Dagger said quickly.

Brahne immediately broke into tears. Dagger stared at her confused. Why was she crying?

"Garnet…I'm…I'm sorry!" Brahne said between sobs. She managed to hold them in.

"After your father died I guess I…became unsure of things. I only did this because I thought you liked it! I mean, you made it SEEM that you liked it. I never meant to be so hard on you! AND I'M SORRY!" Brahne said.

Dagger stared at her mother shocked. She never saw her mother like this before. She would always seem so strict.

"I hope you forgive me! I swear, I'll let you have fun! I'm so sorry Garnet!!!" Brahne said.

"Mother, please stop crying." Dagger said in a gentle voice.

Soon enough, Brahne stopped crying.

"I forgive you. And…even though you allow me to have fun, I will try to fit in with my studies." Dagger said smiling, getting off of her seat.

"R-Really?" Brahne said, getting out of her seat.

"Yes mother…I love you." Dagger said.

"Garnet…I love you too!" Brahne said, embracing Dagger in a hug. It felt so right for Dagger to finally hug her mother and know that she loved her. It's been so long…

"Well, I have to go to school. Don't want to be late!" Dagger said, breaking from her and her mother's hug, and heading to the door.

"Bye sweetie! I hope you have a good day at school!" her mother called out.

Dagger closed the door behind her to see the limousine in the driveway, and Winston standing next to it.

"Are you ready to go to school Garnet?" Winston asked.

"Yup!" Dagger said smiling getting into the limousine, Winston closing the door when she got in.

Maybe today won't be so bad!

Dagger was very happy that she finally sorted things out with her mother. Now her other problem was her and Zidane.

A few minutes later, the limousine reached Stony Brook high. Dagger looked at the window to see everybody looking at her and whispering. It was like her first day of school all over again. Zidane was no where to be seen.

"So, how do you feel?" Winston said cheerfully.

"Nauseated." Dagger said, opening the door, getting ready to get out.

"Oh…well…have fun!" Winston said.

"Thanks Winston. I'll try." Dagger said smiling smally. Closing the car door. Walking up the stairs.

Dagger went in the school, walking down the hallway to her locker. She started taking out books and putting them until her book bag. Until…

Dagger saw Zidane coming toward her. She really didn't feel like hearing his excuses! So, Dagger slammed her locker shut and ran through the crowd, Zidane chasing her.

So, Dagger ran into the girls bathroom. So Zidane wouldn't chase her in there!

Dagger shut the door behind her, sliding onto the floor, sitting there.

"I just can't handle this pressure! This is too much! I hate Scarlet!" Dagger said to herself.

"What's too much?" a girl said, coming out from a stall. She had crimson eyes, and long brown hair. She smiled kindly.

Dagger immediately got up, and scratched the back of her head. "Uh…wow…I really gotta stop talking to myself…" she said laughing nervously.

"Yeah, you really have to stop talking to yourself!" 2 girls came out of there stalls. 1 girl was Alysia, and the other Dagger had never seen before. She had black eyes, and short, black hair.

"Are you Dagger?" Alysia said curiously.

"Um…yes." Dagger said blushing. She really had embarrassed herself now!

"Hey, you're the one that pushed Zidane to the ground!" the girl with short hair said.

Yup. The girl that pushed Zidane to the ground. OR the girl that goes to girls bathroom and talks herself like a crazy lunatic…

"Yeah." Dagger simply said.

"Look, you've made a BIG mistake! Zidane didn't kiss Scarlet! Scarlet was the one that kissed him!" Alysia said loudly.

"Not so loud! You don't want the whole school to hear!" The girl with crimson eyes said.

"How-How do you know?" Dagger asked confused.

"Because…um, I was kind of in the popular club. And then they betrayed me. Scarlet's "best friend" told me the whole plan. Scarlet did this to make you jealous. So you and Zidane would break up. And I'm telling the truth." Alysia said seriously.

"A-Are you sure?" Dagger said shocked.

"Yup!" Alysia said.

So…so Scarlet just did this to make me mad? And for me and Zidane to break up? That scumbag!

"Oh my god!" Dagger said shocked.

"I know. Scarlet does a lot of mean things to people, huh?" the girl with short girl said.

"Which is why we need your help." The girl with crimson eyes said, "We want to get revenge on Scarlet for doing all these bad things. She hurt you too, so we want you to help us!"

Dagger thought about this. Scarlet did hurt her. And she did want to get revenge. "Okay! I'll do it!"

"Great!" the girl with crimson eyes said. "My names Tifa. Tifa Lockheart."

"And I'm Yuffie!" Yuffie said excitingly.

"Hi!" Dagger said smiling widely. "So…what's the plan?"

"Well, Scarlet always said that she wanted to loose 3 pounds. So she always eats these health bars. I have these bars that you eat them and they make you GAIN weight. I'll give them to Diana, and tell her that I want to help Scarlet. So she'll be really GAINING weight!" Alysia said giggling.

"And, Scarlet always using this face cream in gym. So, when we're outside for gym, I'll go inside the locker room and change the face cream into foot cream! Since I know her locker combination and all." Yuffie said smiling.

"And…what will you be doing?" Dagger asked Tifa.

"That's why I wanted your help! I'm doing this BIG prank on Scarlet, and I need your help! In chemistry class, Scarlet sits next to me. So, I'll steal her car keys away from her! I'm gonna walk out of the school, get into her car, and park her car somewhere else so she'll freak out!" Tifa said excitingly.

"So…where do I come in?" Dagger asked curiously.

"You know there's a lot of security. So, I brang this…" Tifa said, taking out 2 walkie talkies from her book bag. "I need somebody to tell me if the hallways are clear, and all of that stuff, so that's why I needed help. But we'll have to skip 8th period class."

"You mean CUT A CLASS?" Dagger said shocked.

"Um…yeah, this is the only way it's gonna work!" Yuffie said.

"I-I don't know. It's a pretty big risk." Dagger said.

"Oh, come on! Scarlet has hurt so many people! It's our turn to screw that bitch's life up!" Alysia said.

Dagger laughed a little bit. "O-Okay!"

"And you won't be really cutting class! Just go to your 8th period class, and tell your teacher you need to go to the nurse to get your asthma pump! Since your such a good student, she'll totally let you go!" Tifa said.

"Okay. I'll do it!" Dagger said strongly.

"Here. Take one of them. We'll need them." Tifa said, giving Dagger one of the walkie talkies. Dagger stuffed if in her book bag.

"Okay. I have to get to Homeroom. Bye!" Dagger said almost leaving he girls bathroom when Alysia spoke up.

"Oh, and Rinoa's absent today. I just want to tell you, since you guys are so close." Alysia said. Dagger then nodded and left the bathroom.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9:08AM (2nd Period)

Alysia was now in her history class, taking out the "health bars" from her book bag. Diana sat in front of her.

Diana wasn't really paying any attention to the history teacher. Alysia saw her doodling in the back of her notebook writing Diana+Blank all over the place.

Alysia then tapped Diana on the shoulder. She turned around, facing Alysia.

"Hey Diana!" Alysia said smiling.

Diana just frowned. "Um…Scarlet said not to talk to you anymore. I'm sorry." Diana said.

Psh! Like I need you! I have better friends! Alysia thought.

"Oh…really? Well, I just want to help Scarlet. Scarlet said she wanted to loose 3 pounds, so I brang in these health bars. They make you loose weight REALLY FAST." Alysia said, showing Diana the big packet of "health bars" she had.

"Oh! Okay! I'll give them to Scarlet. Thanks!" Diana said, taking them and stuffing them into her book bag. She then turned around and went back to her "work."

Oh Diana…you do NOT know what just hit you…Alysia thought. Going back to copying the notes on the board.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10:46 (4th Period)

Many students were playing basketball, running, and playing softball outside on the school grounds.

Tifa, Yuffie, and a girl that had long curly brown hair and green eyes sat under a tree in there gym uniforms.

"Well Yuffie, are you ready?" Tifa said smiling at her.

"Ready for what?" the girl with green eyes said curiously.

"We're um…giving Scarlet some revenge!" Yuffie said giggling evilly.

Aerith rolled her eyes. "You girls are all about revenge! Can't you be nice, and just enjoy the world?" Aerith said, breathing in the air from the trees.

Yuffie and Tifa looked at each other, and looked back and Aerith. "No!"

Aerith then sighed. "I rest my case then."

Yuffie then got up and put on a serious face. "Well. I should go."

She said smiling at them. She then ran back into the school, pass the inside gym, and into the girls locker room. There were many gray lockers. Yuffie went through the 3rd row of lockers to Scarlet's locker.

Yuffie then started to fiddle with Scarlet's pink combination lock. A few minutes later, the combination lock opened. Yuffie opened the locker to see various pictures of Scarlet's "friends"

Yuffie also saw Scarlet's clothes and…the face cream! She took it out, and opened the lid. She dumped out the face cream in the garbage. She then put the foot cream in the same box where the face cream was. She put the lid back on, and put it back in the locker, locking it.

Mission accomplished! Da, da, da, dun, dun, da, da, dun!!!

Yuffie then ran out of the locker room before anybody saw her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12:06 (6th Period)

Dagger sat at lunch with Tifa, Yuffie, and Alysia since Rinoa was absent. Dagger got to know them much better, and they seemed to be very nice girls.

"So…did everything go well?" Alysia said to Tifa and Yuffie.

"Yup! I did it when she was playing softball. Soon enough, her face will be smelling like a foot!" Yuffie said smiling widely.

"Did you give the canteen bars to Diana?" Tifa said curiously to Alysia.

"Yeah. Diana didn't even know what it really was. I doubt Scarlet will." Alysia said laughing.

Dagger laughed with them, and felt a tap on her shoulder. Tifa, Yuffie, and Alysia immediately stopped laughing. Dagger turned around to see Zidane.

Zidane smiled, and put a little note in Dagger's hand, leaving afterwards.

"You really should forgive him. I think you guys make a great couple." Tifa said to Dagger.

Dagger slowly opened the note. This is what it read…

Dagger. Please meet me in front of the school at the end of the day. PLEASE!!!

Dagger then sighed, and put the note in her book bag.

"I'll talk with him later." Dagger said smiling, finishing her lunch.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12:56 (Beginning of 8th Period)

Dagger walked up to her seat in Health Education class and sat down. She knew that she was going to leave the classroom, so she wasn't going to take her books out.

Dagger's Health Education teacher was Mrs.Jablonski. She had short orange hair, and she really always fell asleep in the class. So the class didn't really do any work.

Dagger looked at her watch that she had on her wrist. It was now 1:08. She didn't want Tifa to wait, so Dagger got up and headed to Mrs.Jablonski's desk.

"Mrs. Jablonski I-,"

"What?" she said staring at Dagger, her eyes almost closed.

"Um, I need to go to the nurse. To get my asthma pump. My asthma's been really bad today." Dagger said seriously.

"Yeah, whatever. Do whatever you want!" Mrs.Jablonski said, putting her head back into her arms.

Wow. I can't believe you get paid for this. You must have some life!

Dagger mumbled a thank you, and took the hall pass, walking out of the room.

She closed the door behind her, and looked around the hallway. It was completely empty. She ran up to the exit of the school, and stood there.

Well, time to contact Tifa…

Dagger took out the walkie talkie that Tifa gave her and pressed down the button. There was a lot of static on the other end of the line.

"Um…Tifa, are you there?" Dagger said.

It took a few minutes until Tifa responded.

"Yes, I'm here…over!" Tifa said loudly. "Is there any hall monitors? Over?"

"Um…no. It's clear!" Dagger said, looking around the hallways.

"Okay! And you forgot to say "over" …Over!" Tifa said.

"Why do I need to say over?" Dagger said curiously.

"Because you just do…over." Tifa said quietly.

"Well, I don't want to say "over." Dagger said.

"Sorry, you just did! Over!" Tifa said laughing.

"(sigh) Okay, you got me." Dagger said grinning.

"Okay, I'm here!" Tifa said. Dagger turned around to see Tifa standing right behind her.

"I got Scarlet's keys!" Tifa said, holding a pair of keys, decorated with a bunch of key chains.

"Great! Now let's go, before we get into trouble." Dagger said, looking down the hallway.

"Okay, just follow me." Tifa replied, opening the door revealing the sunlight from outside, Dagger following her.

They walked down the school steps, into the parking lot. There was a bunch of cars, and motorcycles.

"So, which car is Scarlet's?" Dagger asked curiously.

Tifa walked up to a little pink car. It said "Lindblum" on the license plate, followed by "Princess"

"So, she's a princess?" Dagger said sarcastically.

"No Dagger. She's just a royal bitch." Tifa said grinning. Dagger smiled, and they both got into the car. Tifa putting the keys into the ignition. The engine immediately roared.

Tifa looked at Dagger grinning. "Ready?"

Dagger took a deep breath. "Ready. Just don't kill me."

Tifa laughed. "Don't worry…I'll try not to!" Tifa said, already putting the car in reverse, getting out of the parking lot.

A few minutes later, Tifa parked right in the middle of a football field.

"We're here!" Tifa said grinning.

Dagger looked at her surroundings shocked. "We're gonna leave the car in the middle of a football field?"

"Yup!" Tifa said, getting out of the car. "I'll leave Scarlet's keys on top of the car." Tifa said, placing the keys on the roof of the car.

"Tifa, do you think this is right? …I mean, I know Scarlet hurt a lot of people but…do you think we're doing…too much?" Dagger said, getting out of the car.

Tifa looked at her shocked. "Dagger, she's hurt so many people. You don't know since you've only been here for 2 months."

Dagger still didn't feel like she did the right thing.

"Dagger, do you KNOW what Scarlet did to me? …She always slapped me like I was one of her rag dolls! She usually did that to other girls too! People shouldn't treat others badly." Tifa said in a gentle voice.

Dagger looked at her with a strong face and said "Okay."

After they left Scarlet's car in the football field, Tifa and Dagger ran back to the school. They got back right when the bell rang. A bunch of students came out of there classes. Dagger saw Alysia, and Yuffie heading towards them.

"So, did you do it?" Alysia said curiously.

"Yup! We parked it in the football field!" Tifa said laughing.

"Wow…it'll take her an hour to look for her car!" Yuffie said giggling.

Suddenly, Tifa's cell phone rang. She took it out, and flipped the cover off. "Hello?"

Dagger heard some mumbling from the other line, but couldn't make out the words.

"Okay Cloud! Stop complaining!" Tifa said. "What? Well…I was…doing stuff!"

Alysia and Yuffie looked at each other confused.

"Okay, I'm coming. Is Vincent coming with us?" Tifa said curiously.

Dagger heard mumbling again from the other line.

"Oh great. You know that he always ruins the fun!" Tifa said rolling her eyes. "Okay…I'll be right there."

Tifa then hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket.

"Who was that?" Alysia said curiously.

"That was Cloud. We're supposed to go to the Gold Saucer together and…I'm a little bit late." Tifa replied. "Do you guys want to come?"

Yuffie's face immediately lit up. "Yeah! I have to go anyway. Rikku, Yuna, and Pain said that they wanted me to come with them."

"Okay! Let's go!" Alysia said cheerfully.

"I can't." Dagger suddenly said, remembering that Zidane wanted to see her after school. "I have to talk with Zidane, remember?"

"Oh yeah, that right…I forgot…" Tifa said, her smile turning into a frown.

Dagger smiled. "Go ahead! I won't feel left out or anything."

"Oh…okay! Then…we'll see you at school tomorrow?" Alysia said kindly.

Dagger nodded. "Yeah."

"Okay…well, bye!" Alysia said. Catching up with Yuffie and Tifa, already leaving the school.

Dagger walked out the school and waited at the school steps for Zidane.

Suddenly, Dagger saw Scarlet looking around for her car.

"WHERE IS IT!?" Scarlet said angrily. The popular club laughing behind her back.

Scarlet turned around looking at them to see that they weren't laughing anymore. "WELL!? WHERE IS IT!?"

"How would we know Scarlet?" a girl with short blonde hair said.

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!? WELL MAYBE YOU DID THIS AS A PRANK ELENNA!" Scarlet snapped back.

"Scarlet please…calm down. We'll look for it." Reno said, trying to calm her down.

Scarlet took a deep breath and looked at them all. "Okay. Let's start looking. AND I WAN'T EVERYBODY TO LOOK FOR MY CAR!"

Dagger couldn't help but giggle a little bit.

"Hey." A voice behind Dagger said.

Dagger turned around to see Zidane smiling kindly.

"Hi." Dagger said smiling.

"Um…I wanted to talk about what happened yesterday." Zidane said, scratching the back of his head.

"You don't have to. I know that you didn't kiss her. And I'm sorry for blaming you. Will you forgive me?" Dagger said softly.

Zidane looked at her shocked. "Wow. That's it? That's all I have to do?"

Dagger giggled. "Yup."

"Um…okay. I forgive you."

Dagger immediately jumped into Zidane's arms. Zidane was a little token back, but returned the hug. Followed by a small kiss.

Zidane then noticed that Scarlet was looking for her car. "I heard rumors that somebody hid Scarlet's car." Zidane said, as Zidane and Dagger started walking down the school steps.

Dagger smiled. "Well that's just too bad for her."

That's about it! My fingers are hurting from typing! But I must admit, all the reviews that I did get were all really cool ones, that talked about how they liked my fic and couldn't wait for the next chapter! No flames::looks around corners to see if flames are coming::

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UsagiLockHearT67's Review: I really like how you use various characters from the different games…and I hated scarlet too…bc I loved tifa. Keep writing your story is awesome.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah…if you've noticed, I added Tifa. That review was kind of a little wake up call that I didn't add Tifa. So I added Yuffie, Aerith, Vincent and Cloud too. And I added a little bit of characters from Final Fantasy 10-2. But they weren't really in the chapter that much. (Yuna, Rikku, and Pain.)

So…yeah…that's really all I have to write. I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Keep reading!
