"Wishful Summoning - Part 2"

by jolt527

"YOU DID WHAT?!?" Dagger shouted at the top of her lungs to Eiko. It was the morning after Eiko's wish was granted, and Eiko had informed Dagger of just what had happened the night before. Eiko and Zidane were sitting on opposite sides of the couch in the guest room, and Dagger was pacing back and forth in front of them, furious. "What did you think you were doing?!?"

"Hey!" Eiko responded. "I had a wish, and the Spirits of the Crystal granted it. I didn't do anything wrong!"

"You didn't do anything wrong?!?" Dagger said as she stomped her foot. "You mean it wasn't wrong to sneak into Zidane's room and try to seduce him? It sounds like you were trying to steal Zidane away from me!"

"Actually," Zidane interrupted as he stood up, "you sure don't act like I'm yours." This instantly stopped Dagger's pacing. "I come and stay in this castle almost every night, and you rarely even give me a goodnight kiss! I sleep in a totally different room, even though we've 'been together' for almost two years! It's not like I'd do anything you didn't want to do…if anything, Eiko was actually doing me a favor!"

"Well…" Dagger began not knowing what to say. "…I…You…She…AHHHH!!! I can't take this nonsense right now! I'm going for a walk, so don't expect me back for a while!" Dagger ran out of the room and out of the castle, storming off into town. Zidane sat back down, stunned by all that was happening.

Eiko broke the silence a few seconds later. "I think that's the part where you follow her out and plead for her forgiveness…or something. Was I really…doing you a favor?"

"Well," Zidane started, "I think you helped me to realize that things weren't the way I wanted them to be. In a way, yeah."

With this Eiko got a little smile on her face and began to blush, a little embarrassed that she caused all this trouble. "Now what?" she asked. "Where do we all go from here?"

Zidane thought for a few seconds then asked, "Is this…age thing temporary or forever?"

"I don't know…my guess it's for as long as I want it to be, seeing how it is my wish."

"Are you different besides…well…physically? " Zidane asked, a little embarrassed. "Do you think like someone my age as well?"

"I do feel different," she began, "and I think I feel a little more mature, but this will take a lot of getting used to. Zidane…what do you want…'us' to be?"

"I dunno. You seem to think like someone my age, and you definitely look like a girl my age," he said as he looked at her from top to bottom, obviously interested. "You'd be more than anything Dagger ever was to me, and I can't say I wouldn't be curious to find out what might happen…"

"What about Dagger, though? I really don't want to cause any trouble between the two of you…"

"You're not causing trouble between me and her," Zidane interrupted, "because I really don't think we really ever were a true couple. She wasn't interested in anything but being 'good friends,' and I just never wanted to admit it to myself."

Eiko stood up and slowly moved towards Zidane as she spoke. "It sounds like you've been deprived of love you never really had." She then sat down beside him. "I know that I really can't say that I love you because I never have experienced true love, but I know I'd like to see what happens between us…that is if you want anything to happen…"

Before she could say anything else Zidane embraced Eiko with such force that they fell over on the couch, with Zidane laying on top of her. As they stared into each other's eyes, Zidane ran his hand through her hair, and she smiled softly. "Trust me," Zidane whispered. "I want to see what happens…" As they held on to each other, Zidane gave her a soft kiss on the lips, which quickly turned into a storm of long, passionate kisses. Zidane had thoughts of a new relationship forming with Eiko, something he never could even think about…until now. Eiko's wishes were coming true right before her eyes, and she couldn't help but to think, "I got him at last!"
