A/n: Well, this is the final chapter of In The Past...read on, guys!

Epilogue
(Oh man, I'm gonna be late! Rinoa's gonna blow!) The 17 year old clothed in black leather thought as he rushed down the corridor of Balamb Garden.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Fine! He's late again! He such a meanie right, Angelo?" The raven hair girl looked at her silent companion.
Angelo rubbed his ear against her leg. Rinoa giggled, "It seems like only yesterday when I found you along the streets of Timber. Sigh, you remind me of an old friend and I can't seem to remember who..."
A flash appeared in her mind. "Boo!"
Rinoa shook her head. 'What was that?' Angelo started barking sensing its owner's discomfort.
"I'm okay, Angelo..." Rinoa said softly as she petted Angelo. It looked back at her with its chocolate brown eyes. 'Why does that seem so familiar...'
"Rinoa!"
The shout of her name brought Rinoa back to reality.
"Sorry, I'm late!" Squall gasped for air.
Rinoa's face lit up, "It's okay, better late than never! C'mon let's go!" She tugged his arm and pulled him along with her.
Squall smiled, (How lucky am I to have her...it's like I've known her my whole life and all this time I was searching for her...maybe the GFs have taken something away from me again...)
"Why are you standing there, grinning like a fool?" Rinoa questioned, her hands at her hip.
"Nothing." And with a swift movement, Squall had his arms wrapped around her as he pulled her into a kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark.
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart.
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain.
Melodies of life--love's lost refrain.
Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond.
So far and away, see the bird as it flies by.
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings.
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond.
If I should leave this lonely world behind,
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of life,
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts.
For as long as we remember.
