Garnet leaned over the edge of the balcony, fascinated with the white doves and pigeons flying over the country her country. It doesn't even matter anymore, nothing matters anymore. She kept an ear out towards the stair case listening for any sounds of footsteps. That part of her that won't let go still half- expected to see Zidane come up those steps, his young, vibrant, handsome self. How could they both age what seemed like ten years in two. This was wrong, it was so wrong; she buried her head in her arms and took long deep breaths. She finally raised her head and screamed into her country.

"It doesn't even matter anymore!!"

"What doesn't matter…?" A soft voice spoke behind her. She was afraid to turn around; she squeezed her eyes shut trying to escape from the situation but gave up and swung around her hair flying behind her. She turned to face him.

His breathe caught in his throat as she turned around. He shook his head; he was here for a reason.

"What are you doing here Zidane, how did you get past the guards." Garnet said forcefully.

"Dagger I thought you knew me better than that, when have I ever had trouble with the guards, especially your guards. What doesn't matter?" He took a few steps forward, his eyes never leaving hers. Garnet let out a long breath and turned back towards the sky.

"I haven't been called Dagger in a long time…nothing matters again more, you destroyed me when you left, you know that right?"

"I do now…you will never know how sorry I am, how much it hurt when you told me about how hard it was for you…I…well I love you, you have to know that by now." Garnet turned around once more.

"I'm not sure I do Zidane… I really don't know." The queen strode over the stair case and brushed his arm as she passed him. Electricity ran through his arm. No, I'm not letting her go this time! He turned around and grabbed her arm and held her strongly.

"Zidane let me go!"

"No Garnet, you're not running away this time!"

"Ha! You're one to talk, let go of me damn it!" He grabbed the back of her head and pressed his lips to hers, she relaxed a little before finally pulling away. Her face fell and her eyes were brimming with tears, he let her go. She stumbled and left dragging her feet as she went. He brought his gloved hand to his mouth. Dagger.
