A/N: I 4got to
type this…but I don't own Final Fantasy 8!!! (I wish I did) ^_^'
Squall couldn't
believe what he's seeing. "Z-Zell?!"
The blonde figure
gave a blank expression, though his eyes were wide. "Squall?!" Slowly, he
walked up to Squall and reached out his hand. Squall looked at it, and Zell poked him.
"AHHHHH!!!" Zell
cried. "YOU'RE REAL!!!" he shrieked gleefully and embraced him. The lone warrior tried to push him off, but
Zell resisted. He sighed, reached for
his gunblade, and smacked Zell's head with the handle. He finally let go.
"Squall…I CAN"T
BELIEVE YOU"RE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!"
"Zell…I thought
you were dead and gone forever…"
"Yeah……I thought
so too…I guess since you defeated Ultimecia, I got out of time
compression. And somehow, I ended up
here."
"What about the
others?"
"Don't know," Zell shrugged his shoulders, and focused his
eyes on Rinoa and his cheery expression faded away.
"Oh man. I can't believe Rinoa's gone," the blonde
choked, as crystalline tears suddenly streamed down his cheeks. Head down low, he walked to a seat and sat
down.
Squall placed his
hand on the glass. His piercing blue
eyes gazed downward on her. Even in
death, she still looked like an angel. Hyne, he wanted her back. Resting his head on the glass, he closed his eyes and thought back to
the time he first met her.
* flashback *
A shooting star
streaked through the ebony sky, along the shimmering stars. His eyes followed the flash of white light
across the heavens, and it led his eyes
to a young girl. The lone SeeD noticed
the raven-hair girl was gazing at the exact star. She looked over to him, taking the realization that someone was
looking intently at her.
With a smile of
her face, she raised one slender finger, simply asking for one dance. Squall cocked his head to one side,
obviously telling her he didn't want to. Determined, she sighed and gracefully trotted to the SeeD.
"You're the best
looking guy here. Dance with me?"
"……"
"Let me guess,
you will only dance with people you like."
He turned his
head away. She made a face.
"Okay then. You are going to like me….you are going to
like me!!" she waved her hand above his head. "Did it work?"
Squall could do
nothing but chuckle at her. "I can't
dance."
Ignoring his
answer, she pulled him to the dance floor.
* end flashback *
His eyes opened
and he turned his attention to Zell. Zell gazed awkwardly at him back. "I can't let Rinoa be a memory."
Zell looked
confused. "What?" Squall turned back to Rinoa. "I have to bring her back."
"Whoa!! Hold on
there Squall…..are you really serious? I mean, we don't even know if there is a way to bring her back."
"Yes there is,"
Squall muttered softly. "…time
compression."
