Author's Notes: I've given up on my old fic, sorry. I have decided to go for something easier. This is a classic Squinoa fic. Hope you all enjoy it. Please give me reviews.

Rinoa stood alone on the balcony. She'd had enough of the party and wanted to get some fresh air. She hoped to see Squall soon. They'd defeated Ultemicia just a few days ago, but she hadn't seen him much since then. In the few short weeks she'd known him, she had already fallen for him.
As she reflected upon the recent events, a familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Rinoa?"
She smiled and turned around, "Hey, Squall."
"Get tired of the party, too?"
"Yeah. I just don't like all of the people, it's too crowded in there."
Squall joined her at the side of the balcony, "I know what you mean. Sorry to interrupt, I didn't realize you were out here."
"Oh, it's fine. I wasn't thinking of anything important. Where have you been, anyway?"
Squall sighed, "I've been over my head in paperwork. I had no idea being commander involved so much writing."
Rinoa giggled, "You've never enjoyed that, have you?"
He shot her a look. "What were you doing out here?"
"Watching the stars. You can really see them tonight."
He looked up, "Yeah, that's one thing I've always loved about this place. You can always see the stars."
The two of them stared, in silent awe. Both were uneasy around one another. Squall wasn't used to liking women in the way he liked Rinoa.
The silence ended when a shooting star went by. Rinoa playfully turned to him and pointed up like she had the night they first met.
To her surprise, he smiled. Then, he took her hand and pulled her close. He slowly leaned in and the two shared a passionate first kiss.
It was what they'd both wanted for a long time.
