Squall doesn't know whether he's doing the right thing or not but he doesn't want to end the moment. Rinoa could feel Squall's heart beating fast just like hers. A cold breeze of wind blew Rinoa's soft, black hair. She shivered a bit. Squall ended the kiss. He looked away a lil embarrassed about what he did. He lowered his head, hand on his forehead. His bangs are covering his blue eyes. "I am...I'm sorry Rinoa.."
"It..it's okay." she said with a shiver. It was really cold on the balcony considering that Balamb Garden is by the ocean No wonder why Squall wears that thick jacket. He slowly took off his jacket. Rinoa stared at him blushing. He put his jacket around Rinoa.
"Come on Rinoa it's getting cold in here...we better go inside" he said walking away as usual.
Rinoa nodded and catch up to him. She reaches for his hand and hold it with hers. Squall look over at her then look at her hand. He softly squeezes it then continues to walk. (Don't worry Rinoa..we'll find a way for you to gain back your memories... The memories of us... all the things that we've been through...together on each other's side..). All of a sudden an announcement caught their attention.
" Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly the headmaster wants to see both of you. Please report on the bridge. I repeat Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly please report on the bridge immediately." Xu announced.
"I guess we better check it out.... Come on" Squall and Rinoa run to the elevator and stepped in. Squall press the 3rd floor button.
"I wonder why they called us for.." Rinoa said a little scared. "What if they'll put that devise on my head again.. ?"
"Don't worry Rinoa...I'm here.."
Rinoa grab his arm and hold it tightly. She wanted for Squall to be by her side wherever she goes.
They exited the elevator when they arrive at the 3rd floor. They get on another elevator and finally arrive at the bridge.
Headmaster Cid was staring outside the window when ho noticed Squall and Rinoa just arrive. "Oh there you are.... How do you feel now Rinoa?" he asked Rinoa smiling.
"I'm fine but... who are you?" she stepped closer to Headmaster Cid looking at him suspiciously "..and why do you know my name?"
"Um..." The headmaster doesn't know what to say.
(Like she knows her name at first -.-()) Squall thought. "I'll explain it Headmaster Cid.." Squall insisted.
"So you're the headmaster?" Rinoa look at him with narrowed eyes.
"Yeah..I may look goofy and act goofy but I am the headmaster..." he said a little nervous.
"Why nice to meetcha!" Rinoa exclaimed shaking hands with the headmaster. Finally, her narrowed eyes change back to normal.
"Phew..." The headmaster swipe his sweat drops away. "Nice to meet you too for the second time Ms. Rinoa Heartilly"
"Huh?..oh yeah I am Rinoa..." she smiled. "Why did you call us here Cid?" he ask curiously.
Squall whispered to her ::Rinoa it's the headmaster call Him Headmaster Cid::
"Why?" she asked curiously.
::Because:: Squall responded.
"Because?" she asked again.
::Because he owns this whole damn place:: he got a little annoyed at that time but he understands that Rinoa forgot a lot of stuff.
"Oh yeah ^.^() Pardon me Headmaster Cid" she said bowing for apology.
"No it's okay! It's okay! By the way I called both of you to tell you guys that I've found out something that might just cure you amnesia Rinoa!" The headmaster said in a cheerful voice.
Rinoa's eyes lightened up. Squall couldn't believe about what he heard from the headmaster. He quickly walk up to him and say "Please headmaster tell us what to do"
Headmaster Cid have never saw Squall beg for anything nor show such emotion before which make him feel a little awkward but happy. "Very well then...but you guys have to prepare for the worst. Can you handle it? Do you still want to try?" He said in a serious voice. Looking to Rinoa then turn back to Squall.
"We are Headmaster Cid" He said as serious as the headmaster.
"Very well, you and your group will have a long, dangerous journey to get the holy light gem and the Holy Charisma gem which can bring back Rinoa's lost memory. But you, Squall Leonhart, the leader of your group, will be responsible for each of your teammates and you have the full obligation whatever happens to each of them. Understood?" The headmaster looked seriously straight into Squall.
"I will do my best to bring each one of them alive here Headmaster Cid" he gave him a salute. Rinoa, who's watching them, copied Squall and also gave the headmaster a salute.
"Very well, I'll talk to your instructor, Ms. Trepe about the journey. Dismissed." The headmaster looked back at the window. He could not believe that Squall, a teenager, saves not only Balamb but also the whole world from danger. He just smiles as Squall and Rinoa left the room.
"Rinoa we'll finally have a chance your memory back.." he let out a smiled and a happy sigh.
"Oh Squall you mean I can gain back my memory without wearing that scary device thingies?" she said in a very cheerful voice.
"Yes.." he stared at her face.
"Oh Squall!" she hugged him tightly.
As they arrive back at the 1st floor they saw Quistis running towards the elevator. The headmaster just called her to report at the bridge.
"So you guys done talking to the headmaster?" Quistis asked curiously. She could see the happy feeling of Rinoa and Squall while they're holding hands.
"Go find it out yourself ...." Squall said coldly as usual.
"Alright!" Quistis let out a smile and walk in the elevator while Rinoa and Squall get off of it.
"I..I think I'm a little tired Squall..." she said with an exhausted voice.
"Okay. I'll walk you to your room to have some rest..." he said with his low but cute (=^.^=) voice.
"Alright…" she nodded.
As they walk on the hallway on the dormitory...
"Squall...Thank you for everything...I've heard that this is a long tough and most of all dangerous journey... but then you'll still go for me... just for me to gain my memory..." she said softly.
"It's not just a memory....It's memories we've all shared...Zell, Quistis, Selphie, Irvine you and me..." he said with his voice oh so tender. They stopped walking. Squall hold both of Rinoa's hands against his chest tightly "I could not guarantee anything for now...the only thing I know is I'll get those gems no matter what....even if it cause my life..."
"No you mustn't!" Rinoa argued.
"Yes I must and yes I will...at least you'll gain the memories of us together....when we first met... When we stared at that shooting star... then..." he closed his eyes.
"...shooting star....then I walked towards you and..ugh" she holds her head. "I..I can't remember the rest...my head…it hurts..."
Squall holds her close to him. "it's gonna be alright..."
She look at Squall, at his blue eyes "You...whenever I close me eyes...I see visions.... visions of you and me...together...." she said a bit puzzled.
Squall smiled to her as he touches her soft black hair. "You'll understand soon enough Rinoa.." They arrive at the door of Rinoa's room. "I guess I better go now you need some..." he didn't finish his sentence because Rinoa hug him tightly.
"Please don't go! Don't leave me here all alone..I don't wanna be alone...stay by my side please" she said with a sob.
Squall slowly put his hand on Rinoa's head "Okay I wont leave you here..."
Rinoa look up to him "Promise?"
Squall smiled "I promise.." he respond softly as they entered Rinoa's room.
Rinoa lay down on the soft fluffy bed as Squall covered her body with a blanket. He turned off the light and turn on the din nightlight. "Squall!"
"I'm here don't worry.." Squall holds Rinoa's hand.
"Goodnight Squall..." Rinoa said with her angelic voice.
"Goonight..Rinoa.." Squall said tenderly, his voice almost fading.Rinoa drift to sleep fast considering that she's been tired from all of those examination that she took. Squall stared at her. He put her hair that's covering her face under her ear. He slowly leans closer to her ear and whispered "I love you Rinoa..."
