Last time on Return To Me:
Her eyes wondered upon the invitation, seeing as the date was set for two
weeks from tomorrow. The anniversary of his disappearance some called it
his death. The queen slipped the invitation back into its envelope, and
proceeded into her bedroom. Next to her bed was a large cage. A white
sheet was draped over it. The queen tugged on one side of the sheet,
causing it to slide of onto the floor.
Inside it sat two beautiful yellow canaries. Garnet smiled as she saw
them, they gave her so many memories of the past four years. Even though
they reminded her of the first night they met, it was the beginning of the
short time they spent together, the short love they never expressed. Taped
onto the cage, a white note type card had the words "I want to be your
canary" printed
Return to Me
Chapter II: Vivis return
Although his sons were busy else where, Vivi sat alone in his house in the Black Mage Village. His sons had all moved to Alexandria, he was preparing for the trip there himself. News of the play spread quickly. One of his sons had already gotten tickets to it. Life had treated the young mage well. Surrounded by only a few other mages, he was kept company by the many survivors of Bran Bral.
The small baby chocobo say next to him. Vivi placed a gloved hand onto the top of her head. The chocobo squeaked slightly, giving her approval. It was quiet in the village, even with the bustling lives of the survivors of the now destroyed Bran Bral. Picking up the pieces of their lives in this New World, the eight friends had to do the same after the untimely death of one of their own, their friend.
Minkoto had lived with Vivi a short time. Both were trying to get over the grief of a lost friend, and brother. Vivi's chocobo's name was Xiang, a name picked by Minkoto in honor of her mother. The chocobo was old enough to ride that was how Vivi was playing on going to Alexandria. She was a gold chocobo, able too cross-mountains and waters.
He led her outside and tied her onto the perk. Picking up a small bag he tied it to her saddle. Mounting her, he untied the perk and fassedned the reins to her bridal. A swift tug on her reins brought her into a swift trot. Vivi stopped at Minkoto's new house to offer her a ride to Alexandria.
From news from locals around her house, she had already left for Alexandria on a chocobo she rented from the newly built stable. The play was in only a few short hours. Vivi had better hurry if he'd want to make it from the forgotten continent to the grand Alexandria Castle. Vivi's eldest son greeted him at the ticket booth. Surrounded by his seven sons, Vivi remembered the good times he felt when Zidane was around.
Vivi left Xiang at the stables, knowing she would be just fine, and behave herself. His son handed out the tickets, and he looked up into the sky as the newly rebuilt Tantalus theater ship flew close overhead, ready to dock at the castle. He wouldn't have to sneak into the play this year, even though that was the day he met Puck and the others, the day he first Zidane.
He looked down at his ticket, he was sure this time it was a real ticket. The mage was now fourteen, and nearing the end of his life span. He was becoming frail, tired and weak. If anyone was aware of this, it was Minkoto. She had seen his everyday tasks become hard for the once young mage to do.
Vivi had spent two year without Zidane, but it seemed as is he was still with him. Zidane had change Vivi's life in so many ways. He made him a better person and a much stronger one as well. He learned how to use his magic better, including new magic spells he never thought he could master. He gave him a reason to go and shearh for the very reason he existed, and the reason he was where he was.
Vivi and his sons made their way to the ticket holder line. Many faces he recognized by couldn't put names with them. His age was catching up with him, as he knew what was happening. They handed their tickets to the holder and made their way into the castle, hoping to b reunited with faces whose names he could remember.
