Chapter 8- Christmas Eve
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(It's morning the day before Christmas. Quistis wakes up)

(Quistis thinks)

I feel asleep here? Boy I'm tired. Hehe look at him. Damn I've been feeling so much but i can't seem to remember what about. All I seem to remember is you.

It's still too soon to call it love
I know it's more then just a crush
We're gonna get closer everyday
And when you look at me that way
All I can say

Is if I open up my heart to you
I just need to know you feel it too
Will you be the one?
To make my dreams come true
If I, if I open up my heart to you

I got a feeling this could be
Something I thought I never see
You were on my mind
That night
Something keeps telling me
It's alright

I hope its right

Irvine: Wow you too?

Quistis: huh? Where'd you come from?

Irvine: You're turning into Squall too. You think for a long time.

Quistis: I have had a lot on my mind lately

Irvine: So is someone making breakfast or what?

Quistis: I'll make it

(She gets up and prepares something for breakfast)

Quistis: Why don't you wake everyone up?

Irvine: Alright

(Irvine knocks on all the doors and goes to wake Dart up)

Irvine: Hey wake up its morning

Dart: huh? Ooh hey

Irvine: Had a nice sleep?

Dart: You bet!

Irvine: for someone who had to sleep on the couch you quite happy

Dart: I had a nice night

(Selphie comes out of her room)

Selphie: Good Morning!! Just think tomorrow is Christmas!!

Irvine: So what do you want to do today?

Selphie: ...I'm not sure yet

(Squall and Rinoa come out of there room)

Selphie: Good Morning

Squall: I got a headache

Dart: What from?

Squall: Rinoa

Rinoa: Hey that's not funny!

Dart: (laughs)

Squall: You spent all night pacing back and forth talking about your dreams. I mean not that i don't like to know but I'm still dizzy

Rinoa: I wasn't sleepy and you...

Squall: I was, I stayed in bed trying to go to sleep

Rinoa: ok, ok I'm sorry

Squall: It's alright, I'm not mad at you I just got a headache

Selphie: ...what a why to start a day...

Quistis: foods ready! Where are Zell and Xu?

Irvine: I guess they're still sleeping

Quistis: ok so lets eat and leave something for them

(They all gather at the table and eat. But before they do Squall grabs Rinoa's present. Zell and Xu...)

Xu: I don't think I can get up, I'm so sleepy

Zell: This place can really get you relaxed

Xu: yeah

Zell: You and Me

I feel like a conqueror,
When you are with me.

I hear music in the air,
When you talk to me.

I walk on the clouds,
When you walk with me.

I smell flowers of paradise,
When you are near me.

I am drunk with pleasure,
When your lips kiss me.

Xu: (giggles) how about i give you pleasure

(They kiss)

Xu: lets get up conqueror

(They get up and go into the kitchen)

Rinoa: Good morning!

Zell: food!

Xu: Zell!

Rinoa: Well hello to you too

Selphie: I'm surprised you don't get fat

Zell: fighting helps kills it

(After eating Zell, Xu, Selphie and Irvine stay inside and Rinoa and the others go outside)

(Outside...)

Rinoa: You know Dart your like Squall

Quistis: Come to think of it you are, but not SO much alike

Squall: huh?

Dart: wa?

Rinoa: See!

Squall: Can we talk about something else?

Quistis: umm... lets split up I wanna talk to Dart a bit

Rinoa: Alright come on Squall

(They walk away)

Quistis: I don't think we can go out anymore

Dart: why is that?

Quistis: Because I'm just finding a place to put all my love. And it seems i just like you like family. I'm sorry

Dart: It's alright. Not like we were gonna get married or anything.

(Where Rinoa and Squall are...)

Squall: Rinoa

Rinoa: yeah squally

Squall: umm... I was gonna ask you this tomorrow but i can't wait anymore

Rinoa: Go ahead

Squall: Will you... ummm... aaa... Will you (pulls her close) Will you marry me? (takes out the bracelet) I know this isn't a ring but i though you'd let a bracelet better
Open your heart to me
I promise I'll keep it safe

I know your heart is delicate
And so is mine
Another Heartache
My heart will shatter

I will treat you well
I won't say any hurtful words
Call on me
And I'll be there

I care about you,
I really do.
I love you a lot.
Even more than I thought.

Rinoa: (starts crying) oh my god, yes totally! (Laughs)

Squall: (starts crying and laughing too) really

Rinoa: yeah!!

(They both can't stop smiling, laughing or crying)

Squall: really...

Rinoa: Yes already!!! yes, Yes, YES!

(They kiss and hug tighter than ever)

Squall: you said yes...

Rinoa: (laughs harder) what the hell is wrong with you?!

Squall: I wanna make sure I heard right

Rinoa: (nods her head and takes a breath from crying) I love you

Squall: I love you more...

(They grab each others hands and look in each others eyes and start to dance their first dance when they first met. And when they stopped they pulled each other close and stopped crying and... Kissed with passion)

Squall: Instead of you walking away like the first time how about we walk away together.

Rinoa: Oh wait you still didn't put the bracelet on me!

(He put the bracelet on her and Rinoa reads)

Rinoa: I love you always and I'll be there -Squall

Squall: (laughs) I'm never good with words

Rinoa: No, it's perfect

Squall: Did you know you're all i think of?
Did you know I miss you everyday?
I always want to see you
But you seem to be so far
You're so occupied
And you have another to be with

Loved by so many
But you won't let anything happen
With anyone...

I remember standing on the edge
You reached out for me
You saw me fall and cried?

I hated to see you cry
I reached out for you

Rinoa: You did. Stupid Edea! She should have never hurt you.

Squall: I'm so happy your here with me

Rinoa: Me too

Squall: Did you say yes?

Rinoa: (laughs) yes!

Squall: really?

Rinoa: Come on lets head home. It's really late.

Squall: You said yes

Rinoa: Oh my god what's wrong with you?!

(Squall falls to the ground, but not hurt, and not fainted)

(Squall thinks happily)

You said yes...

Rinoa: Squall? Are you sleeping with your eyes open or something?

(She pulls him up to his feet)

Squall: Sorry

(They walk home he holds her from the back hardly letting her breath)

Rinoa: Squall not that i don't like you hugging me but can you not hug so hard

Squall: I'm holding on to you and never letting you go

Rinoa: (kisses him) You're my dream come true

(At one point they finally get home)

Selphie: Wow you guys look horrible

Zell: What happened to you? It's late, Rinoa you got major bags under your eyes and Squall your covered in snow and why are you still hugging each other?

Rinoa: Squall asked me to marry him!!!

Selphie: Really!

Rinoa: I said YES!

Irvine: Hey congrats man, never though you'd have the courage!

Squall: (half asleep holding Rinoa) yeah...

Xu: Lets have a party!

Rinoa: I think it would be better if we just sit on the couch and rest

Squall: ....ooooooookkk

Dart: He's really tired

Rinoa: We had a long walk

Quistis: I think you should let Squall go in bed

Rinoa: I can't let him go without me so... good night

(They head in their room and everyone goes in there's, Dart again stays on the couch)

Rinoa: I'm guessing you won't let me go of me tonight

Squall: .....nnooopppeeee

Rinoa: fine with me
