Disclaimers: I don't own the material from Final Fantasy VIII but these drabble ideas. This 100 theme challenge belongs to WaterAngel-Alyssa.
A/N: I'm going to apologize and say sorry for cutting corners for what you guys know is coming up. To be honest, I don't think I could ever just write the time Laguna and Raine (may have been separated) after Kiros came to Winhill in the game in just 100 words (a drabble). That should honestly be a proper multichapter (or really good oneshot) story. So…yeah, I'm not going to dive into that. OTL Sorry! But hey, it's not like we don't know that Laguna and Raine ended up together anyways. ;P
Thanks for reading and thank you to PromiseInTheRain (I love your penname!) for reviewing! Please enjoy and R&R!
PS: Halfway point! About damn time! LOL

It was weird, really, how everything seemed so different now that Laguna wasn't around. Her mornings lacked sunshine, Ellone's voice seemed quieter when she announced that she was hungry, and no one was there to do the 'monster hunt' report.
Shaking her head, Raine quickly wiped the bar's countertop. "It's better this way. I can focus on Ellone again. Laguna only sidetracked everything. That's all; no regrets."
Suddenly, she halted her task and sighed while dropping into a nearby chair.
That was more than a white lie; Raine indeed had one regret:
Laguna would never know she loved him.

Application? Check.
Sample article? Check.
Train ticket? …Uh.
Patting down his pockets, Laguna panicked. "I have you… I checked this morning—! Hmm?" While heading to the station for the next train to Timber, Laguna couldn't help but gawk at a particular pair of symbolic items through a shop window.
"Laguna!" Kiros called from further ahead. "Hurry! The train will leave soon."
In response, Laguna grinned brightly. "Timber can wait. We need a car!"
Kiros blinked in confusion. "Why?"
Entering the shop, Laguna waved. "Because there's something in Winhill that I forgot to do!"
