Rinoa felt a rush of water surround her body. The water was warm. She felt herself sink. She tried to breath, but got water, instead of air. She grabbed her chest in pain. She had to get out of the water. She began to move her legs around like a fish, no avail. Tears formed in her eyes. But the water quickly swept them from her. She began desperately moving hands in a downward force.
'Please, someone save me.' she hoped silently. She felt her feet touch the bottom and a horrible cramp feeling rushed over her chest. She was running out of air, and fast. She pushed herself up in the water. Propelling her to the surface. She was almost to the surface but felt herself floating back down.
'Not even a chance?' she asked nobody in particular. 'I don't even know his last name!' she thought angrily.

Squall swam through the clear blue water of the ocean, searching for the girl that had fallen in. He threw his eyes about the ocean floor and spotted her frantically jumping up, trying to reach the surface. He swam for her. He landed right next to her, but she didn't seem to notice him. He looked closer at her and found that her eyes were beginning to close. Squall's eyes rose up in shock. He grabbed her by the waist and began to swim up as fast as his legs could take him. He splashed through the surface and found themselves quite a ways from the beach.
"Shit." he quietly cursed. And with that he began to swim for the sandy beach.

"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to let Rinoa go after that man." Selphie thought aloud as she paced the top of the rock.
"Don't worry about it." Angelo told her sticking his head out of the water.
"Have any of you seen her lately?" Irvine asked waddling up to Selphie. They all shook their heads. Irvine looked around curiously. "Where's Quistis?" he asked beating his wings lightly against his sides.
"She was here a second ago." Angelo said, now looking around. Angelo peered around the rock that Selphie and Irvine were on and found Quistis staring at something. He quickly swam up to her. "What do you see?" he asked her, looking back at the dock she was staring at then back to her. She didn't answer. "I command you to-" Angelo screamed but was cut off by a fin to his mouth.
"Watch." she commanded.
**
Squall pulled himself and the girl onto the shore. She began to sputter wildly. He pushed his back against a rock that jutted out into the ocean and placed her head to his chest. Rinoa stopped sputtering and looked up to her hero. She smiled as she saw his face looking down at hers.
'Thank you.' she mouthed. She placed her head back to his chest and nuzzled in. He smiled lightly and rested one of his gloved hands upon her head.
"No problem, no problem at all." he said as he himself closed his eyes. Rest was not needed for either, but the feeling of protection in each others arms welcomed unconsciousness freely. Both fell asleep quickly.
Angelo stared in shock at the two on the beach. "Guys get over here." he beckoned quietly. Selphie and Irvine hurried to the edge of the rock and looked. Their jaws dropped at the sight that lay before them.
"Maybe this might work after all." Selphie said as she scratched her head with her claw.
"She just needs to keep falling into the water!" Irvine said as he flapped his wings lightly.
"I don't think that will work." Angelo told him with a roll of his eyes. "We just need to give him a little push." Angelo said.
"And how do we plan to do that?" Quistis inquired as she turned from the two on the beach.
"We will have to play by fin." Angelo told them. "We don't know what he has up his sleeve." Angelo added.
"Let's us hope it's flowers." Selphie hoped quietly............
