** The First Time We Met ** - Chapter 2
An hour had past and the couple had barely moved an inch. Zidane, not wanting to let his Garnet go, held her in his strong embrace. Garnet was content being hugged, while played with strands of his blond mane. Garnet sighed as she began to stand up.
"Where are YOU going?" Zidane asked sarcastically as he pulled her back down. "You're not going to get away from me that easily!" He wrestled her to the bed and pinned her down. "Now where 'ya gonna go?" He asked playfully. Garnet struggled to get free, but to no avail. Zidane had her stuck.
"Zidane...." She whined. "Please let me get up. We have to do SOMETHING today and not just lay in bed. I want to get freshened up. And my HAIR!" She was shocked at the condition of her hair as she looked in the mirror. Zidane laughed.
"I love you just the way you are... even if you DO look like you've been electrocuted!!" He laughed at his remark, then wished he hadn't said it when Garnet started to wrestle him back. "Ahhh... Ok. I'm sorry!! I surrender!" He joked.
"I'm going to go for a walk through the gardens. Would you like to come with me?" Garnet asked.
"Sounds great. Let's go" Zidane replied as he picked up his scattered garments and put them back on.
The now fully dressed couple linked arms and strolled into the world outside of Garnet's bedroom door. As they walked down the hall Beatrix appeared.
"Good morning Your Majesty, Master Zidane. How are you both this fine day?" Beatrix asked politely.
"We're both quite well. And you?" Garnet replied.
"I'm fine thank you" she bowed and continued on with her morning rounds.
Beatrix was right. It was warm, sunny and beautiful outside. There were birds zooming around, flowers blooming their best and a gorgeous couple walking right through it all. Zidane had used another stupid comment about Garnet's hair and before he knew it, the queen of Alexandria had him pinned to the ground.
{Mental note to myself. NEVER say bad comments about Dagger's hair} Zidane said to himself.
Before the couple knew it, lunch was being served. Zidane was dressed in a stunning black suit, with gold buttons across the chest. Garnet was in a blue velvet gown that flowed from her hips down. The neckline was a simple V shape with white swirl embroidery. The sleeves were long and there was swirl embroidery was on the cuffs too. This lunch was very important because they would both be in the company of nobles from all over the world.
"Please be on your best behaviour Zidane" Garnet whispered in his ear as they walked towards the dinning room.
Much to her surprise, Zidane was very formal and polite. He introduced himself and the queen, then pulled out a chair for her to sit on, then one for himself. Throughout the lunch, Zidane spoke in a proper manner and of relevant subjects to the nobles.
After the nobles had left, Garnet, Zidane, Steiner and Beatrix were all that remained in the dinning room. Beatrix changed the radio from classical music to Pop Music Central. [Just made that name up!] Garnet couldn't name the tune that was playing, but she liked it.
"I LOVE Pop Music Central! This song is by the Backstreet Boys!" Beatrix exclaimed.
Suddenly Zidane jumped onto the table and began to sing.
"If I don't have you, to hold on to. Then I can't go on, In this world alone. Baby it's true. If I don't have you. If you said goodbye, Girl I would die. I'm a storm with no light, a day with no night, if I don't have you."
"Zidane! That was so beautiful! I didn't know you could sing!" Garnet smiled as small tears began to form in her eyes.
"Too much decorum. I needed to let it out and that was the perfect way. It got you happy too!" He laughed as he saw Garnet wiping the tears away.
Zidane jumped off the table, picked Garnet up and threw her over his shoulder in one swift movement. Garnet tried her best to wriggle out of his grip, but Zidane was far too strong for her. He raced out of the castle and ran toward the gigantic water fountain.
"No Zidane! Don't you dare throw me in ther-" Garnet squealed when she felt the coldness of the water in the fountain.
"I'll forgive you if you give me a hug" Garnet smiled sweetly. Zidane shrugged and leaned in for a hug.
"That'll teach ya!" Garnet cried with delight as she pulled Zidane into the fountain. Zidane lent in for his hug that was promised. He softly stroked Garnet wet face and pulled her close for an embrace. As she pulled away, Garnet hinted for a kiss. Zidane stroked her cheek again and when their lips were almost touching, her pushed her playfully back into the water. Wiping away the lose strands of hair from her face, Garnet lunged forwards and began to tackle Zidane. As Beatrix and a small group of nobles appeared, Garnet and Zidane stopped their play fighting and tried to compose themselves. Garnet looked down at her drenched gown and across at Zidane. His blond mane was plastered everywhere. They didn't exactly look like a Queen and her handsome knight. Luckily Beatrix and the Nobles saw the funny side and kept walking on. Once the nobles had there back to the couple, Garnet pushed Zidane and he tumbled back into the water. As he fell, he grabbed her dress, pulling her with him. Garnet tried to stand up, but the heaviness of her gown wouldn't allow it. Zidane was in fits of laughter. After he eventually stopped, he slowly stood up and helped his queen out of the fountain.
"How are we going to get dry?" Garnet said hopelessly. "We can't walk into the castle dripping wet!"

~Zidane's NEW Princess~
"Move over Garnet! I'm his NEW princess and he's MINE NOW!" - Quote from me while I was having an argument with Dagger last week. Just coz she's Queen she thinks she can do whatever she wants! That bitch is gonna pay! No one tries to take my man away from me and gets away with it!
