Chapter Four: Old Friends


Selphie was the first out of the train, skipping the whole way. When she got off she squealed.
Irvine was standing there. Selphie tackled him with a hug, forgetting that they weren't together
anymore.

"... How ya been, Irvy?" Selphie asked, straitening her skirt as if nothing had happened.
He smiled at her, sweetly.

"Fine. I'm training kids to snipe at Galbadia, now. It's nice to be looked up to, ya know?.
Hey Quisty!" he exclaimed as Quistis strode off of the train. The two hugged. Then Zell gave
Irvine a high five. "It's so nice to guys again."

"Where's Rinoa?" Quistis asked.

"Oh..." Irvine hesitated

The four walked to another set of tracks. The sun was rising, fast. Almost as if it were
not wanting to wait for something. As they approached the Base, Irvine turned and said.

"We've got a lot to talk about..."
***************

Lucifina looked out the window of her abandoned home. Sunrise was coming. Normally vampires
despised the sun, but this one was special. Almost beautiful. It was the sunrise that came
before the sunset, on the day that the Master would rise. But she was worried. She had
recieved word that none of the other clan had not captured the slayer. That was bad.

"Dammit Squall, you said you'd get her." She said into the phone. "You said she'd loved you once,
so how fucking hard is it to get her to come to you?"

"I wanted to surprise her," A familiar voice beamed through the phone. Luci had since closed the
curtains tightly and gotten on her bed. "so I sent some of my agents to get her. I underestimated
her it seems. But she had always been the weakest out of everyone."

"Well, now we are fucked. Theres no way she'll believe you now. How are we supposed to get her to
the Lunatic Pandora by tonight?"

"She'll come. Trust me."
***************

After a brief explanation of everything, Rinoa decided to sleep the rest of the day while the
others talked. Rinoa quickly slipped into bed and dreamed the most wonderful dreams.

Rinoa found herself in the field of flowers where Squall promised he'd find her, no matter what.

"I told you I'd be here." A voice came from behind her. Rinoa smiled happily.

"Squall... Oh I love you Squall." Rinoa whispered in his ear, holding on tightly. They started
to kiss, passionately and slowly, and before they knew, they were making love. Finally, sharing
the moments they had lost. When it was over, all Rinoa could say was,

"Never let me go, Squall." They kissed again.

"Never." Squall replied. "Rinoa, you can see me again. Only not in your dreams."
Rinoas eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Yes, all you have to do is be at the Lunatic Pandora, tonight, at sunset. You must stop the
Master, and see me again. Promise me you'll be there?"

"I promise."
