____________________________CHAPTER DUOS______________________________________
14 years ago---
Blank and Ruby were on their way back to Lindblum from visiting Zidane and Dagger who had just recently had their second child.
It had been a lovely day so Blank and Ruby had decided to ride a chocobo from the Gargan Roo to Lindblum since it was so nice.
As they rode the yellow-tailed creature they talked about having children someday.
Then Blank had heard a noise like crying. He put his finger to Ruby's lips silencing her rambling.
"Do you hear that?" Blank asked
"What?" his wife quired.
"It sounded like a baby crying," he whispered searching for the sound again.
"Over there!" Ruby cried pointing off to the west.
Blank steered the chocobo to where the sound came from. He spotted the tiny form lying in the grass and jumped off the chocobo.
He looked to where the form was and to his amazement there was a tiny girl sitting in the grass with what seemed to be a purple rabbit.
When Blank got closer the little girl spotted him she immediately stopped crying and smiled looking up at him with large blue-green eyes.
Blank then noticed the girl had a tail, like the Genomes but it was auburn with stripes her hair was the same.
He gently lifted the girl the little rabbit clinging to her shoulder.
"Oh my gawd that's a lil' girl," Ruby said walking over.
"No kidding looks like her name's Cedar," Blank said to his wife pointing at the name sewn across her dirty overalls.
"An' this lil' bugger's name is Fayore," Ruby said reading the rabbit like creature's collar.
Blank shook his head in disbelief.
"Guess we better take care of these guys till we can find the parents,"
"Yeah, hey darlin' think this is a sign?" Ruby said following Blank back to the chocobo.
"Maybe..." he replied placing the girl in his wife's arms.

Weird, Blank thought. Ever since we found Cedar in the field I don't remember her crying not once.
The thought of the day when they had found the child in the grassy plain had reminded him of that. The long reminiscing was cut off by his daughter's entrance.
"Hellllooooo, we're back!" She yelled her voice ringing through the newly renovated headquarters.
"Dad! Where are ya?" she yelled again.
Blank sighed and gazed at the picture of his dearly departed wife.
"She has your charm my dear," he muttered to the picture rising from his seat.
"Cedar keep your voice down you'll wake Nin," he yelled down over the balcony.
"Your yellin' too so I wouldn't talk!" Cedar snipped back. Blank shook his head at the girl and walked towards the stairs to the lower room.
By the time he got there his daughter and her two friends were already sprawled out around the room. When Cedar saw him walk in she sat up in her chair from her usual one foot over the arm position.
"We got it," she smiled holding up the small silver stick. Blank smiled and took the weapon from his daughter.
"Great," he said looking it over carefully searching for the catch.
"So, uh what is it?" Cedar asked staring at Blank her gaze never faltering.
"It's called an Bladaff," he muttered finding the button and pressing it.
"So what does it- hey!" Cedar said stopping abruptly as the stick extended into a staff two razor sharp blades emerging from either end.
"Hey that kicks ass! A double edged sword compact!" The girl said standing from her seat.
"Yeah. This is a really great weapon developed by those guys back at the mansion, think you can handle it?" Blank said retracting the staff and turning to his daughter.
"What?! Your gonna give me that cool weapon?" Cedar said shocked. Blank placed the Bladaff in his daughter's hands, smiling.
"Happy Birthday," he said. Cedar smiled and threw her arms around Blank's neck.
"Thank you, Daddy," she whispered into his ear.
