Rinoa pulled her knees to her chest and wraped her arms around her legs. Rinoa's stomach is now hurting from the hunger.

"I had better ask for some food." Rinoa said as she put her hand to her stomach. Rinoa got up off the bed and headed for the door. Her legs started to shake and she losed her balance.

"Whoa... Rinoa. You don't need to fall." she said putting her hand on the wall next to the door. After she got herself together, she started to bang on the door, "Omar! Omar, I'm hungry!"



Omar's living room....

Omar was sitting in his recliner reading a book, when he heard Rinoa yelling. He put his book down and walked up stairs. Omar reached her room and opened the door, while Rinoa was still pounding on the door, causing Rinoa to fall on her butt. After a minute of sitting there in shock, Rinoa looked up at Omar with her eyes half way squinted.

*She's so beautiful.* Omar thought, *I can't blame that Squall boy for wanting her. But even so, he's not gonna have her.*

Omar knelt down in front of Rinoa and put his hand to her cheek. "You wanted me baby?"

Rinoa slaped his hand off her face, "I want you to bring me food." Rinoa said with a demanding tone in her voice.

"You sure you don't want me to bring you anything else?" Omar said as he put his face to hers.

"All I want from you is food, I will never want anything else from YOU. Ohh.... and by the way, your breath stinks."

Omar raised his hand, about to strike her, but put it back down. "Really now?" Omar tried to kiss her.

Rinoa turned her head, "You disgust me." Rinoa then shoved him backwards.

Omar jumped to his feet. "Fine!" Omar said glaring at Rinoa, "I'll get you your damn food."

Omar left the room. He walked down stairs to the kitchen. He fixed Rinoa a sandwich and a glass of tea. He started to take it to her, but he stoped suddenly at the bottom of the stairs.

"Hmmm...." He walked to his room and set the sandwich and tea down on the table. He knelt in front of his bed and pulled out a box. He opened it and took out a small bottle. Omar held it up to the light, "This will dis- allusion her a bit." He walked over to the table and poured the contents of the bottle into the tea. He then headed for Rinoa's room.

"Lana! Open the door." he yelled through the door.

"I don't know any Lana. You'll have to address me by MY name if you want ME to open the door." Rinoa said.

Omar sighed, "Fine. Please, open the door, Ri-nooo-ahh." Omar said in a mocking tone of voice. Rinoa got up and opened the door, letting Omar in.

"Did you miss me, pumpkin?"

Rinoa crossed her arms, "My name is Rinoa, and don't give me any pet names."

Omar glared at Rinoa, slamed the tray down on the desk, and left the room. Rinoa sat down and started to eat.

Elsewhere...

"Squall?! I think we're lost." Zell said.

Squall frowns, "Great! Now what?!"

"Uhh...I say we kill that T-Rexaur." Irvine said looking over Squall's shoulder.

The T-Rexaur roared and Squall and Zell turned around to face the T-Rexaur. Squall ducked dodging the tail of the T-Rexaur as it wa swung at him. Zell though wasn't as lucky and was thrown back into a tree by the giant tail. Squall cast sleep on the T-Rexaur as Zell slowly sat up and tried to shake the daze off. The T-Rexaur is asleep from the sleep spell Squall cast on it. Irvine casts meltdown. Zell stands up, still a little dazed, and summons Quezacotl. Quezacotl boosted up to 120 and blasted the T-Rexaur with lightning, taking 3,600 HP. Quezacotl disappeared and Squall, Zell, and Irvine reappeared. T-Rexaur woke and hit all three boys with his tail. Squall launched Renzokuken and used Lion Heart, killing the T-Rexaur.(A/N: Sorry I'm not very good at writting the battles scenes.) The three do their victory dance. Zell casts recover on himself and then on Squall and Irvine.

"Hey!" Yelled this blond boy as he came running up to Squall, "Thanks for getting rid of that thing. I've been running from it for like the past hour. Ok.. ok... 5 minutes, but it felt like an hour."

Zell walked over to the boy, " Hey! I finally found someone shorter than me. How tall are ya?"

"I'm 5'4", and if you call me shorty, I'll punch you in the nose."

Zell laughed, "Do you know who your talking to?" Zell cracked his knuckels.

"No! How should I know who you are? I just met you. Did you like forget your name or something?"

Zell took a step forward, with his hands in a fist, but Squall held him back.

"Chill. Ok Zell?" Squall said. "He's just a little pip-squeak."

"What!? What did you call me!?" The boy yelled as he balled his hands up.

"Look we don't have time for your little hissy fits." Squall said as he walked towards the boy.

As Squall aproached, the boy's blue eyes fell upon Squall's scar.

"I'm Squall Leonhart. This is Irvine Kinneas." Squall said motioning to his left. Irvine tiped his hat. The boy looked to Irvine and instantly noticed Irvine's gun.

"And..." Squall said motioning to his right, "... this is Zell Dincht."

The boy looked to Zell, Zell poped his knuckels, and the boy lookes back to Squall and stares at his scar. The boy swallowed hard and thought to himself, *These people are scary, I had better start being a little nicer.*

"I'm Mikus." The boy said with a shaky voice. "What happened to your face?"

Squall ran his finger along his scar, "It's a battle scar, and it's really none of your business. Now... how old are you, kid?"

"I'm 16, thank you, and I'm not a KID." Mikus sayed in a huffy tone.

"Well you sure do act like one. What are you doing out here, anyway?" Squall asked.

"I live here."

"Here? In the woods?" Zell asked.

"Yeah, I don't have a home, so I just live my life out here. Now what are you three doing out here?"

"I'm looking for someone." Squall answered.

"What does this person look like?" Mikus asked.

"What does it matter to you?" Squall asked.

"I might be able to help you, 'cause I saw the warlock that lives around here carrying a girl to his house one day."

"Girl!?" Squall put his hands on Mikus' shoulders and looked into Mikus' eyes. "Did this girl have dark hair and was she wearing a blue and black outfit?"

"Yes."

Squall looked back at Zell and Irvine and then back to Mikus. "You do know where this warlocks house is don't you?" Squall asked.

"Yes." Mikus answered.

"You better take me there or I'll get Zell after you."

Mikus glanced over at Zell, who was hitting his left hand with his right hand. "Don't worry, I'm gonna take you there, I'm gonna take you there. This way." Mikus started to lead the way.

Omar's house..

Rinoa finished her lunch and started to feel lightheaded. She stood up and started to sway, almost falling down.

Omar comes in the room, "Lana?"

Rinoa looked up at Omar as her eyes started to go blurry.

Rinoa put her hand to her forehead and looked down, "I don't feel so good."

"Rinoa?" Omar said in a soft voice.

Rinoa looked up, almost falling over, "Squall?"

Omar walked over to Rinoa and put his arms around her. Rinoa smiled and put her arms around his neck.

"Squall I knew you would come for me." She said as she put her forehead to his. Omar kissed Rinoa and Rinoa kissed back. Rinoa stoped kissing him and kept her forehead to his, "Squall, I love you."

Omar started to kiss her but pulled back.

"Squall? What's the matter."

*What am I doing? It's not the same when she keeps calling me Squall.* Omar thought. Omar took her arms off of him and left the room.

"Squall!?" Rinoa streatched her arms out towards the door, then fell to the floor and started to cry, "Squallie. Come back."
