Chapter 3

Eiko sighed, picking up her dress as she walked down the halls. Lindblum Castle was boring. No action. No adventure. Just a bunch of snobby representatives of other continents and countries. Her 13th birthday was coming up soon, but she wasn't happy. She wanted her friends to come; not most have stayed in touch. Vivi, Freya, and…Zidane. He loved Garnet more than 6 year old Eiko. She had fallen in love with him ever since the day they met. Yet he didn't notice her.

They were all scattered around Lindblum. She was in the castle when she got a good idea. Eiko was going to write a love letter to him but didn't know where to start. She had discovered Doctor Tot coming down the stares.

Hey nerdy guy! She spoke to Doctor. Tot. You look like the kind that reads a lot of books and stuff. Doctor. Tot had laughed at this. Why yes. Eiko stood abruptly before him and asked him, Well since your so smart, can you help me with my letter? He nodded, following the hyperactive girl. Oh! I'm Eiko Carol. Please to meetcha!

So they went to the lab downstairs, wrote the letter.

Thanks Doctor. Tot! And ran off.

But she had made the wrong mistake of giving the letter to a klutz like the leader of Tantalus. She had been waiting all this time for Zidane. Sadly, it had fallen into the wrong hands. Steiner's to be exact. He though that it was meant for him. Then when he arrived, Beatrix came out of the shadows. They we're about to kiss but Blank came out.

Oh you ruined the WHOLE thing! Eiko cried out.

Though even Zidane had rejected her, that simple memory keeps her laughing. Even when she's 12.
