Hiya! Well, I've got the second part now, and yes, I did fix the "bring back my beloved Dagger to me" part, wut was I thinking when I put that? Lol, anyways, I'd better start the fic before I bore you to death! R&R! (Read and Review)
Chapter 1- A long awaited meet
"Z-Zidane...!?" Dagger whispered. It had to be Zidane...no one had called her Dagger for four years! She leapt up from her seat and ran down the balcony, and through the crowd, losing the falcon's claw as she ran. The nobles were shocked at her unladylike display, looking at her oddly. She didn't care though, all she cared about was seeing Zidane...she had to touch him, to make sure he was real, she needed to tell him everything that she should have before. She ripped through sidewalk, and jumped up on the platform, tears welling in her eyes. "Zidane!" She sobbed, falling into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. She pounded his chest with her fist, in relief, anger; a whole flood of emotions swallowed her. She looked up at him. He smiled sadly and attempted to shrug, but she wrapped her arms around him before he could. She leaned into his chest in a warm embrace, tears soaking his suit.

"God, so much has changed...last time I was here, this place was a burning pile of rubble on the ground." Zidane said quietly, as him and Dagger walked through the palace gardens. "Yeah, I know...we've all worked really hard to fix it up." She replied. "Ummm, so has anything else changed?" He asked again. "Well...not really..." she answered, feeling awkward. The conversation was thin, it was almost like she was uncomfortable near him, it had been so long. She figured it was the same with him; he'd never acted this awkward before. "Zidane..." she started. "Why did you leave me? I thought you were dead...for four years I was miserable." Zidane sighed. "I had too. Kuja was like...my brother almost. I couldn't just leave him to die."
"So what happened down there?" Dagger inquired.
"Well, I went down there with him. I ran down to where he lay, and just talked with him. He changed Dagger, down there he changed. It was like he was a whole new person, then...he died. As the roots came crashing down, I fought them off, not letting them touch Kuja. I don't remember much after that, I was left there almost dead and some Conde petite dwarfs found me. They cared for me until I was well. I was in a coma for the first year, and the rest I was just not strong enough to fend for myself. I was there for about 4 years. I came as soon as I could, and joined up with Tantalus again. They asked me to be in the play, so I figured that would be the best way to see you again, the way we first met for the first time..." He turned to look at her. "I've missed you more then anything else...my beloved canary." A tear shone in Daggers eye. She looked into his eyes as he leaned down to meet her lips...
All of a sudden Steiner barged through the bush, dragging Beatrix with him. "Come my love, no one is here to disturb us, hehe," He purred in an un-Steiner like way. "Steiner!" She swooned as they ran to a secluded spot. 'DAMMIT!!!!' Dagger thought. Zidane was a bit upset too, but then a mischievous grin spread across his face. "Come on!" He whispered, taking her hand. They quietly tiptoed behind a bush, spying on Steiner and Beatrix.
"Come here my sweet," He cooed.
"Steiner!" She giggled.
"Ooooo, hehehe"
"Ouch! Heeheehee"
"Beatrix"
"Steiner..."
"mmmmm, hehe"
"Ooooo--"
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah" Zidane and Dagger fell out from the bush, wheezing with laughter. Beatrix and Steiner took a look at Zidane and Dagger rolling on the ground, and blushed a deep shade of red. "Uhhhh, ummmmm...Emergency!" Steiner yelled, raising his sword while running off. "Uhh yeah, me too!" Beatrix yelled following. "Did...you *hahahah* see....*wheeze* that..?" Dagger giggled. "Zidane nodded, and burst out laughing. "Well, uh, that was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my entire life" Zidane mused, trying to keep a straight face. "I'll say," giggled Dagger. "Ahem...well, what should we do now?" He asked nonchalantly. "Haha, we could go give Sir Fratley and Freya a visit," she joked. "Hahaha, now that would be really disgusting. I never wanna see a rat get it on!" He mused. "Zidane you're so mean!" She laughed. "I swear, if one of nobles saw this, I'd be thrown off the throne. I haven't had this much fun since you left!"
"Hahaha, my sweet, we haven't even started!" He started to give her sloppy kisses, imitating Steiner. "Ewwwww!" She pushed him away, sticking her tongue out. "That's the spirit!" He grinned, pouncing on her. "Get off you bum!" She grinned, buzzing him in the sides of his stomach. "Hey!!" He yelled, starting to tickle her. "Ahhhhhh!!" she screamed. "Stop it!! Stop it!!" She couldn't stop laughing, this was so much fun!
"AHEM!" Zidane and Dagger froze, mid tickle. It was a kind of awkward position, Dagger lying on her back, and Zidane leaning over, his hands poised right above her chest. Zidane jumped up, dagger following, a leaf dangling from her hair. "Uhhh, yeah Baku?" Zidane asked. "Have I caught you two at a bad time?" Baku asked, raising an eyebrow. "Ummmm..." Dagger started. "Gwahaha, you two are such babies!" he laughed. Zidane spied the leaf, and plucked out of her hair.
"Ouch!" she yelled, eying him evilly. He buzzed her in the stomach. "Zidane!" She scolded between giggles. "Baku is trying to talk to us!"
"Haha, oops, sorry again Baku." Zidane grinned.
"Gwahaha, well you two, you missed lunch, it is now dinner, and the entire palace is looking for you." He said shrugging.
"Crap!" Dagger yelled, darting away.
"Hey, wait for me!" Zidane yelled flailing after her.
"Kids! Gwahahahah!!" Baku laughed.
Haha, well, so close to kissing, weren't they? Oh well maybe next time. Anyways, Did you like? Want me ta write more? Well, I appreciated your reviews last time; it helps me make the story better, so thanks everyone! R&R! icychick_6000
