A/N: Hi! This fic is about my fav FF8 char of all time, Zell! This fic is
kinda of a rip off of Love Hina, only because of Zell searching for some
girl form his past. The title doesn't really tell anything about the story
just yet, and no, this is not gonna be an NC-17 fic, you perv bunnies. I am
also welcoming any chapters or chapter ideas to be added to this fic! So if
u can, send any ideas to:rinoa_rulz@hotmail.com Thank You!
FYI, I'm kinda new at writing fics so be nice when u review plz!
Disclaimer: I dun own FF8 or the concept of Love Hina. But all of my chars are obviously mine!

Later in the story you will notice it sounds like someone's talking but there are no quotation marks, this means they're speaking a different language. (Yes, I stole this idea from the book 'A Step from Heaven')

Chapter 1: Forgotten Memories
~*~ It was another gloomy, cloudy afternoon at the orphanage. 4 year old Zell and 5 year old Seifer had gotten into another fight again and Zell ran outside to hide from everyone. Zell ran to the rocky cliff near the sea (he called this his 'secret spot'). But when Zell got there he was surprised to find another child there.
"Hi!" Zell said, as he ran up the cliff. The other child whirled around and gasped. The child was a young girl with long black hair and slanted purple eyes; she was wearing a long black trench coat buttoned up to the top and black cowboy boots. "Um.H-hello." the girl said quietly, looking down at her boots. She then turned to leave. "I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone was here. I'll just leave now." Zell grabbed her hand." Wait a sec!" he said "My names Zell! What yours?" The girl turned to him and smiled. " My name is."~*~
(A/N: When that happens it means there is a flash of light and it goes to the present or to another flashback. It usually means they don't remember that part of the memory, or they have a minor flashback.)
~*~ "Where do you live, Mikan?" Zell asked as he and Mikan walked on the beach. "Esthar" she replied. "Hmmm.never heard of it. Is it far away?" Zell was obviously curious about the world outside of the orphanage. "Kinda, sorta." She said. "Have you ever been anywhere outside of the orphanage Zell?" she asked looking at him with worry in her eyes. "Nope. But one day, I'm gonna see the whole world in one day!" he stretched out his arms. She smiled at him, "One day Zell, I'll take you to the see the world with me! We'll go together.!"~*~
~*~ "What's it like Mikan?" Zell asked one night. He and Mikan were sittings on the edge of the sea side cliff eating Fig Newtons. "What's what like?" she asked as she munched on another Fig Newton. "What's it like to have parents?" Mikan stared off into the starry sky. "Well, my mom is really nice, but shes never really around much anymore." She started fidgeting "but my daddy, hes really mean to her. Sometimes he even hits her." "Does she cry?" Zell asked "Sometimes."~*~
~*~ After finding out a little bit more of Mikan, Zell became more closer with her. Zell and Mikan were like 2 peas in a pod. They went together like PB&J. they were inseparable. Their usual hangouts included the sea side cliff, the beach, the lighthouse, and flower field. One day Mikan and Zell were playing there (the flower field); they were pulling the flowers and tearing off the petals. "Zell, have you ever heard of the Secret Garden?" Mikan asked as she pulled another flower off the ground. "No, whats that?" Zell was tearing up flowers here and there. "Its this place in Esthar where 2 people go if they love each other and if they say they say how much they love one another there, they live happily ever after" She explained. Zell stopped throwing flowers and looked at her. Their eyes met. Her purple eyes looked deeply into his blue eyes. A gentle breeze blew, making Mikan's hair fly across her face. 'Shes really pretty' Zell thought. Mikan then took his pinky. Zell looked at her in confusion. "It's a pinky promise Zell!" she said "Promise me we'll go there one day Zell." she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. They both blushed. Mikan smiled "Promise!" Zell smirked. "I promise!" he yelled ~*~
~*~ The next couple of days, Mikan never came over to play with Zell. He waited and waited and waited, all day, sun up to sun down. But she never came. Life for young Zell went on as it did before he met Mikan, he and Seifer were fighting again, he was always last for lunch, he kept getting in trouble. Yes, life was back to normal. But, for some reason.he wasn't happy.
Then one day, Mikan showed up. But she wasn't wearing her happy go lucky expression as she always has. Zell asked her what was wrong. She said she had to leave. He begged her not to go. But all she said was: "promise me." The rest is a blur in my mind.~*~
Zell lay awake in his bed staring at the ceiling. ' That was the only girl that ever really liked me.' He thought. 'How sad. I can't even remember her real name. Only her nick name.'
Zell never had a girlfriend, and at the age of 19, you could say that's pretty pathetic. It wasn't really his fault that he never had one. It's just that the girls wanted someone that he wasn't: a label, a pretty boy. He just wanted some one to like him for who he is. But unfortunately, no girl was looking for an aggressive, punk rock loving, trouble making no body. Ever since Ultimecia's defeat, hes lost his ultra happy personality. Hes been depressed because almost everyone paired up with one another after that and he was left all alone. Maybe it's his destiny to be alone? Nah.After all nobody deserves to be alone. Nobody.
Short Chap! So, who is this girl from Zell's past? Will Zell ever get a Girlfriend? Will I ever have enough time to at least TRY to finish this fic?! Find out next time on Underneath it All: Slanted Purple Eyes: Witch Baby.
