Chapter 1: He's going to leave, He's leaving, He's left, He's gone.....

----------------------------------------------------------------

"You know I love you, Rinoa!" he assured her, Rinoa looked up into his eyes, once cold and dark, were now warm and welcoming.

"Squall," she began, "why do you have to leave?" she asked, she knew the answer, but she didn't want to admit it.

"You know the answer to that, I have to leave on a mission for Trabia, I'll be back in two months, alright?" Rinoa nodded, she didn't want to believe this, him leaving? Unspeakable!

"Can I come?" she asked suddenly as she looked at him with pleading eyes. He gave her a kiss for his answer.

"Squall!" someone yelled behind them, trying to interupt their kiss, but both ignored the call to him. Squall reluctantly pulled away from her warm lips and he turned to the person responsible for the loud voice, it was Zell, piloting the Ragnorak. He turned toward the ragnorak and began to slowly walk towards the giant red space ship. Rinoa still lightly touching her lips from the pure shock of having Squall lay his on hers, woke up from the potion the kiss had set on ran after him. She grabbed onto his arm and planted her feet into the cool grass of the Balamb plains, Squall was jerked to a stop by Rinoa.

"Don't go!" she pleaded, "we haven't had so much time together, maybe a little longer, can the mission be postponed?" she asked with hopeful eyes.

"The mission can not be post poned, and if I coud I wouldn't do it," he told her as he turned to face her, Rinoa just looked at him in shock, "when it did become time to go then it would be a even harder goodbye than it already is!" he explained, as Rinoa began to kneel down, taking Squall with her, "I'll be back as soon as I can, if a boat is the fastest way to get to then the boat it shall be, if it is walking that is the fastest way to get back to you, then walking it shall be, if swimming is the fastest way, then swimming it shall be." he soothed her as he embraced her. Rinoa nodded into his shoulder. He got up and pulled Rinoa along with him, "don't worry, we'll meet again." she nodded again. He began to walk to the airship once more.

"I love you!" someone called out behind him, he turned to see his one and only standing there, smiling.

"I love you to!" he called back to her as he turned and ran to the airship.

The airship lifted straight off the ground and as it went up along did a cloud of dust. It rose higher and higher until it was just a spek and then sped off into the always open sky.

------------------------------------------------------------

Rinoa Heartily walked side by side with Selphie Tilmitt talking and joking about Squall's and Zell's mission to Trabia.

"An animal probably fell into the ocean and was in a coma and they have to comfort it!" Rinoa joked. Selphie laughed along with her. It was just about a month after Squall and Zell had left, and Rinoa seemed to be getting along fine without him, she knew he would keep his promise of returning to her.

"OH GOD!!!!" someone screamed, it was Irvine, he was close. Selphie and Rinoa looked to each other and broke out in a sprint to where the voice was coming from, the left corridor. They turned the corner and haulted at the site of Irvine running towards them, "IT'S ZELL!!!" he yelled into there faces, "Follow me!" he commanded as he ran in the opposite direction of which he was going. The girls followed. Irvine ran to the infimary, the girls following close behind. They opened the infirmary's door and stood still at the site of what they saw, it was Zell, battered and bruised, face scarred horribly.

"Oh Hyne." Rinoa said under breath.......
