Chapter 1
"FARIS! Guess what?!" Reina said excitingly as she ran into Faris's room.
"What?" Faris said, hardly amused as she put down the laundry she was doing..
"Bartz is coming over!"
"He is?" Faris said, now a little more interested.
"He's gonna be here by 9:00 Tycoon time. We have to prepare a dinner!"
"We do?"
"Yes!"
"Since when do we have to prepare a dinner? What happened to good old-fashioned 'I have to make him a dinner!'?"
"..I hate you sometimes."
"I know. What are we fixing him?" Faris said as she finished folding her clothes.
"How about some *blah blah*...And a little of *blah blah* with a side of *blah blah*?" Reina said. You could tell she was expecting this to be a date. Her pink hair jumped up and down as she bounced.
"Sounds good to me." Faris said, losing interest again.
"Good! I'll put the *blah blah blah blah BLAAAH!*"
"Whatever rings your bell." Faris said after she yawned. Reina then scrambled out of Faris's room and ran to kitchen.
A few hours later, Bartz arrives, and knocks on the door of Faris's room. Faris had dressed herself up in the yellow dress, and had her purple hair pulled back into a tail. Faris opened the door, and peered at Bartz. "You're early!" Bartz had hearts in his eyes.
"Reina's prepared dinner. Let's go." Faris said, and Bartz wrapped his arm around hers, and walked her to the dinner table. At the table Bartz and Faris talked about their lives after defeating X-Death, and how they thought Krile was doing. Bartz hadn't found himself a lady yet, and Faris complimented on how that wasn't possible. Bartz just laughed. Faris was serious.
"May I have your attention, please?" Reina said as she stood up. "I would like to make a toast. *Blah blah blah some more* To the Light Warriors!"
"To the Light Warriors!" Everone at the dinner table shouted. Everyone went back to their conversation and started eating. Bartz voluntarily cut a piece of turkey off for Faris, and placed it on her plate.
"Thank you, Bar---" She cut herself off when she looked up to thank Bartz. Their eyes met, and they just stood there, gazing into each others eyes. Faris was the first to react, and she turned and cut a piece off of the turkey, and put it in her mouth. She started chewing on it, and eventually swallowed it.
"It's good." Faris complimented as Bartz swallowed his own bite. "That, it is." Faris and Bartz were quiet for the majority of the dinner. At the end, Faris went back to her room and looked at herself in the mirror as she released her hair from the tail. There was a knocking at the door.
"Come in." Faris said, as she looked into the mirror. As the door opened, it kept showing more of the person behind it. It was Bartz. Faris quickly turned around to face Bartz, and she had a curious look on her face. Bartz entered the room, and closed the door. He walked to Faris.
"Faris...About tonight.." Bartz said.
"It was pleasent.." Faris said, turning back to face the mirror, some of her hair poured over her shoulder.
"It was? I mean, err...Yeah! It was!" Bartz said clumsily. The only thing Faris could do was giggle. She turned back around to face Bartz, making her eyes meet his. "Bartz, I want you to know something...since that moment at the table, I couldn't stop thinking about how big the feelings I had for you were.." Faris confessed, looking down at Bartz's shoes. "I like his shoes.." she thought.
"...you had..feelings for me?" Bartz asked.
"Yeah..and you're cute when you swoon. Especially when you snuck into my room with Galuf."
"Y-you know about that?!"
"Yeah. Reina told me."
"Oh.."
"Bartz.."
"Yeah?"
Faris wrapped her arms around his neck, made her lips meet his. Bartz was caught by surprise, but he eventually wraped his arms around Faris, and kissed back. Faris broke the kiss suddenly, and turned back around.
"Something wrong?"
"Yes, there is...Reina's in love with you...she can't know this happened..but..in a way...she should.." Faris said, looking down at the oak surface of her dresser.
"...she is?"
"Yeah..."
Reina was listening to the conversation from behind the door. She was about to burst into tears, or run away...maybe even both.
"I should go now.." Bartz said.
"Yes, you should.." Faris replied.
Reina ran behind a wall as Bartz opened the door, and exited the room, closing the door behind him. Faris was still looking looking at the oak dresser when she heard another knock. "Come in." She looked up to see Reina, holding a knife. "Reina?"
"You...backstabbing...BITCH!" Reina yelled as she charged at her sister, knife above her head. When Reina was about to stab Faris, her sister grabbed her hands. Reina, knowing that Faris has the physical strength advantage over her, dropped the knife, and started to cry."
"Reina?! What's wrong?!" Faris demaded.
"You!"
"Me?!"
"Yes! My boyfriends are always dumping me for you! My crushes always like you! They loved you!"
"But I never loved back!"
"What about Bartz?!"
"That's different!"
"How so!"
"Because it was my fault that we kissed!"
"..."
Faris turned around, but she never cried. Faris turned back around, and her face meet Reina's hand as she was slapped. Faris looked at the ground, a little shock by what happened. Reina stormed out of the room, and Faris began to cry. She hadn't cried in so long, she forgot how to..but somehow remembering, she fell onto her bed, tears pouring from her eyes like coffee into a cup.
Faris woke up the next morning, her hair strung from one end of the bed to the next. She could remember everything that happened as if it all happened 5 minutes ago. But, she didn't want to think. Her head hurt. Faris pulled out 2 aspirins and took them. She then changed into shorts and a tank top. She goes hiking every morning. She walked out of her room and jogged to the front door, where she went outside and jogged for a mile or two. She then started to hike a mountain. She had plently of breath, since she has become use to this.
She jogged all the way back to the castle, and to her room. She grabbed a towel, and went into the bathroom. She took off her clothes, and turned the shower on. She stepped in, and she let the water ran over every portion of her body. She took a bar of stop and started to stroke her shoulders with it. She then stroked her stomach, thigh, and everything else in between. When she set the bar of soap down, she felt arms wrap around her. She gasped and turned around. No one was there..
She grabbed the shampoo and washed her hair. She felt the same arms wrap around her. She turned around again. No one was there. "Hello?" She asked, looking all around the bathroom. She must be imagining things. She stepped out and wrapped herself up in the towel, and headed into her room. She opened her dresser drawer, pulled out some clothes, and set them on her dresser. She looked in the mirror, and saw a reflection. It was X-Death! She turned around quickly, yet, nothing was there. She turned back around, looked in the mirror, and only saw herself. She was confused.
Faris got dressed, and went out into the throne room, where Reina was sitting on the throne. "Hey!" She said cheerfully, and then she noticed Reina was asleep. "The poor girl.." Faris said to herself, and turned back around and left the throne room. She summoned all of the workers, and gave them their pay.
