Last time on Return to Me: 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.

Return To Me

Chapter III: Freya's Love

Freya stood at the entrance of the destroyed Burmecia the rain had stopped. Freya heard a familiar voice call her name from behind her. Her eyes went wide. Freya couldn't believe her eyes, her beloved Sir Fratly stood at the very entrance of Burmecia. She began to walk over to him slowly, as if in disbelieve. He smiled at her, after so many years some of his memory had returned to him.

She opened her mouth to speak. Fratley raised his hand and covered her mouth. Freya's Kain's Lance slipped from her hand, making a loud clang against the cobblestone street of Burmecia. Fratley smiled, setting his own lance on a wall Freya was standing against. Speaking with a tender voice, the voice Freya remembered.

"Freya, I knew I would find you here. I promised that I would come back to you." Fratley said reaching out and taking her hand in his own. Freya was still disbelieving that Fratley was here and that he remembered her. She waited for this day her entire life, and she was afraid that she might have missed it while she was traveling with Zidane.

"Fratley, you remember my name, but how? Your memory is gone." Freya said with tars almost coming to her eyes. She remembered that painful day that he left, then only to return with no memory. Now he was back and he remembered her name. The memories of the destruction of Burmecia were also coming back. That was the day the group met Kuja.

"A few things came back to me. Like the promise, you and everything about Burmecia. Some things are still a bit fuzzy. Like things about myself, my fighting skills and the places I've been. I'm sorry for what I must have put you through Freya. I'm hoping I can make amends to you and hopefully you can help me remember. I promised you that I would come back to Burmecia for you, after I had seen the world." Fratley said tightening the grip on her hand. Freya's cheeks were wet with tears as he spoke.

Freya's eyes had filled with tears just knowing he remembered his promise made her so happy. Fratley released her hands and wiped away some of her tears that were flowing down her cheeks. Freya could do nothing but smile and use one of her hands to wipe the other cheek. Reaching down to pick up her lance, Fratley took his lance from the wall next to them.

They talked sitting on the ruined fountain of Burmecia. Fratley had agreed to travel with her to Alexandria to see the play. He remember meeting Zidane and the others in Burmecia before it was attack by the Queen Brahne's army but he had no knowledge of what had happened to Zidane. All Freya wanted to do was spend the rest of her life with Fratley now and nothing would come between that.

Freya couldn't take her mind off Zidane since the day she saw him last. She shouldn't have let him stay behind, or not alone. Freya knew that even a Kuja in a near death state wouldn't be able to turn over a new leaf. She could only imagine the things Kuja could have done to him when he had Zidane alone. She shook her head to get those thoughts from her mind.

Zidane was even more stubborn than Freya and it ate her up inside. She was furious with herself for letting him stay, she was even angry with him for staying. There was no way Kuja or Zidane could have survived if Kuja was still pure evil. Not to mention the entire place was falling down and Freya had a feeling Kuja lured Zidane to the very bottom.

Freya and Fratley prepared for the trip to Alexandria together and left the morning of the play. The walk they planned was silent, after Freya explained what had happened the day they all saw each other last. She was excited to see everyone again, but she knew it would be hard for them all. Seeing the play again, that was what started it all. Freya was only sad that she wasn't there from the very beginning.
