Ch.10 Memories
Discalimer: I don't own FF8 and I'm not making money off this.
**************************************************************************** ** Josh and Fujin were laying down on thier towels, with Lisa on the other side of Fujin from Josh. Josh was looking up at the stars on the perfectly clear Balamb night. With no bright lights(squall had turned of the spot lighs after every one was done swimming) the stars shone like diamonds agianst balck velvet. Josh's arm was up in the air, and his fingers appeared to be tracing something.
Fujin rolled over and kissed his cheek. They had grown very close in only a few hours. She even spoke in her normal voice around him. "What are you doing, Josh?" Fujin looked at him, as he glanced at her.
"What do you mean?"
"Your pointing to something..what is it?"
"Oh....it's just something my Dad taught me when I was young."
"I thought you were from the orphanage."
"I am." Josh said, a dull pain in his voice. "My dad died when I was 7. I don't remember my mom."
"I'm sorry. I had no idea."
"I used to feel sorry for myself, but I'm glad I knew my dad as well as I did. And to let you in, I was drawing the constalations."
"What are those?"
"Drawings in the stars. Long ago..people made up stories to explain things. they have no factual eveidence, but they make pretty good bed-time stories."
"Tell me one...please?"
Josh laughed "That's what I used to say to my dad. I'd ask him to tell me about the bear in the sky, or the northstar and the dragon." Josh thought for a minute. "I'll tell you about the bear and the three hunters."
"A long time ago, people thought that there was a bear in the sky, along with three hunters. Their right up there. We call it the Big Dipper, but they thought that it was a bear being chased by three hunters. But anyway, this bear would chase the hunters away from it's den every night for most of the year. towards the middle of the year, the hunters would get brave and start standing their ground. every year, during autumn, the Bear flips upside down. That meant that the hunters had killed the bear. It's blood trickled through teh heavens during the night, and in the morning, it would be stuck to the leaves."
Josh finished his story, and looked sadly up at the sky. "That's how my dad used to tell the story."
"You must miss him." Kissed his cheek agian.
"I do. I miss him so much."
"It's chilli out here." Fujin was shivering.
"There's the problem." Josh pointed over to Lisa. the two of them had ben sharing a blanket, but she had rolled over, and taken the cover. "You've got a blanket hog." Josh reached over to his blanket which was folded up next to him. "Use mine. I'll be fine, if I get cold, I'll go change into my jeans and jacket."
Fujin took the blanket with no argument. "What else did your dad teach you?"
"Well, Dad was from the army, he served for several years, and saved up every penny. when he quit, after 10 years, he had saved over $450,000. He bought a house and married my mom. She died of cancer when I was a year old. My dad was 32 when she died..and she was 29. He taught me a little of every thing, how to fight, fish, carve wood or soap, and even how to cook. He kinda spoiled me. He took me to a movie every weekend, and to a fair atleast once a month, just to spend time with me. We rarely bought anything..although it was at a fair, that I won a ticket to one free weapon at the Balamb Junk-shop."
"He taught me the value of a dollar, and how to be happy with the simple things. He used to always tell me, 'Josh, life is a blank sheet of paper, you can either let it sit around and get stained by life, or you can make it into a work of art.' I wish he was around to see me now, to see what I've become."
Fujin finalll got the blanket situated the way she wanted, and pulled the last bit of it up to her face. The smell of the blanket was envigorating, yet soothing. It smelled like a mixture of a spring rain, cool aftershave, a forest clearing, and the unmistakable scent of adventure. She pulled if closer to her face and inhaled the scent deeply. She remembered this smell on Josh when they had kissed. She curled up close to him, and fell asleep wrapped in the blanket, holding to his hand, with his other arm around her.
At one point, he must have gotten up, because when he woke her up, it was still dark, but he was wide awake, and standing over her. "Come on..lets go to the rock." after Fujin woke up, they swam out to the large rock that Josh had jumped from. Josh helped her to climb the side, and once they found a good spot to sit, Josh placed his arm around her, and they watched the sunrise together. **************************************************************************** ** Okay....this was a good chapter to..I think...tell me what you think
Thanks to all my Reveiwers.
Quycksylver--I'll remember that..tought your name might have something to do with mercury
Fluffybunnies--Their my favorite couple. I can make Josh however I want to since he's my character..and Fujin only speak one word at a time in the game..so once she starts to speak her mid..I can maek her say what ever I want
