chapter 6...........
*****************
"Take the ax." Squall instructed Rinoa. She picked up the ax as commanded. "Then try to chop the tree down." Squall commanded once more. She shrugged but did as he said. She hurled the ax for the trunk of the tree, it stuck, deep. "Good!" he complimented. "Now again!" he instructed her. She did it once more, this time gash was half the way deep.
"I think two more should do it!" she told him. Squall nodded and walked up to her. He took ax from her.
"My turn." he said quietly as he adjusted his grip on the ax. He flung the ax into the trunk, causing it to fall backwards. He looked to Rinoa and smirked evily.
"Very good Hercules." she mocked as she passed him. She pulled a rope out of her pocket and tied it to the top of the tree. Squall quickly brought the slay they dragged here and pushed it under the tree.
"Pull!" he commanded. She did, but she couldn't move it. Squall grabbed the rope with her and pulled beside her. It began to move. "This isn't so bad." he said as he put the rope over his shoulder.

Rinoa and Squall marveled at their master piece of a tree. Rinoa smiled brightly.
"Finally," Squall said heavily. "It's done." he said as he walked to the kitchen. She followed him.
"Watcha gonna do now?" she asked.
"Eat and watch TV." he told her as he began to rummage through the cupboards of food.
"Can I join you?" she asked.
"I'm not going to stop you." he told her. She smiled brightly.

Rinoa slept peacefully on the couch in front of the TV. Her head rested on Squall's lap.
"Was this your evil plan?" he asked her. "Making me stay here with you?" he asked. "Probably." he added quietly. He rested his head back and turned the TV. off with the remote. He quickly fell asleep. At that same moment Laguna walked in with Kyle and Steven. They laid eyes upon them.
"Well that's not something you see everyday." Kyle said.
"Lets just concentrate on putting these groceries away." Laguna told them. All three of them walked to the kitchen.
