~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Squall wakes up. Kisses Rinoa on the cheeks and she wakes up as well)

Squall: Happy Valentine's Day

Rinoa: Same here..

Announcement on speaker: Will Squall Leonhart report to my office. I repeat will Squall Leonhart report to my office.

Squall: ...just great

Rinoa: You should go I need to get ready anyway and you don't want to wait.

Squall: Alright... Rinoa... put on your nicest outfit and meet me in front of the Garden after your class. Ok?

Rinoa: (Giggles) Ok?

(Rinoa gets out of his arms and kisses him. Squall heads for the headmaster's office)

Cid: Ah Squall! I'm going to need your help with the Valentine's party here.

Squall: How can I help?

Cid: Nothing big. I have found out Caraway might be sending soldiers here during the party. I suspect it's not for something good. I need you to keep a lookout during the party and if anything bad happens be sure to stop it.

Squall: Yes, Sir

Cid: You are dismissed.

(Squall gets out of the office.)

Squall: (This is just great... I'm suppose to be spending time with Rinoa and I have to keep everyone safe.)

(Squall heads for the Cafeteria and found Zell and everyone there)

Zell: Hey Squall over here!

Squall: No hotdogs?

Zell: Nah man, my stomach hurts

Quistis: Serves you right

Zell: So what you doing with Rinoa for Valentines?

Squall: None of your business...

Quistis: Typical

Irvine: Me and Selph are going to the party here then if I'm lucky to my place!

Selphie: Irvine! Is that all you think about?

Quistis: From my point... yes

Irvine: No baby, I love you very much I was just kiddin! Unless you want to?

Selphie: We'll see

(Squall thinks)

Rinoa
My soul is playing a sad melody
Do you hear the melody?
Put your ears against my heart
And you'll discover the tunes to my soul
You'll hear my heart beating
Is it beating fast?
Or is it beating slowly?
Put your hands to my heart
Do you feel it beating?
It's beating for you
Because you'll always be near

Quistis: Squall? Squall? hello~?! Squall?

Squall: Yeah?

Quistis: This habit of yours is getting worse

Squall: Whatever, I got to go

(Squall goes to the front of the Garden and waits for Rinoa and when she shows up she runs to Squall. Squall opens his arms and they hug)

Rinoa: I'm so glad to see you finally. Class felt like forever!

Squall: It usually does

Rinoa: I had a bad time in class. It totally embarrassed myself! (Turns her face away)

Squall: (Takes his hand and puts it on her cheek turning her face to him) what happened?

Rinoa: Here is a hint, my face hurts.

Squall: Some one slap you?!

Rinoa: (I wish) No, worse. Some one tripped me and I fell on my face. ugh!

Squall: (Laughs silently) are you ok?

Rinoa: It's not funny! Everybody wouldn't shut up after that. Especially one kid, so i chased after him to knock him in the face but he kept running!

Squall: YOU DIDN'T HURT HIM DID YOU?!! You're pretty strong i wouldn't suggest you do that!

Rinoa: No I didn't hurt him. Xu kept me back. Meanie!

Squall: haha! Really?! Haha! Lighten up I think the kid learned his lesson after being chased by you!

Rinoa: That moron! (Looks upset)

Squall: Hey come on, I got a dinner reservation.

Rinoa: Really? That's why you told me to dress up nice huh?! ...You made my day Squall

Squall: I just want you happy.

(Squall thinks)

Just to put that smile back on your face
I'll go through the extreme
The only reward I need
Is that smile on your face
Knowing that I've made a change...
That somehow you feel better...
Even though it's just a tiny bit
I will keep on trying and trying
I won't give up on you...

(Squall brings Rinoa to Galbadia Hotel that's now just a restaurant)

Rinoa: This is real nice. I feel like I've been here before.

Squall: This is where Julia used to play the piano. My dad liked coming here to listen to her.

Rinoa: Aww! That makes this even more romantic! (Kisses Squall)

Squall: (Smiles) I guess

Waiter: Can I take your order?

Squall: Just water for me.

Rinoa: Water?

Squall: I'm not really hungry.

Rinoa: I'll have a strawberry sundae.

Waiter: Desert first? Ok (Walks away)

Rinoa: To tell you the truth I'm not so hungry, but I can always go for a sundae!

Squall: I...I didn't know what you wanted to do on this day. Sorry

Rinoa: Sorry? This is sweet! (Moves over and puts her hand on his) I love you

Squall: (Smiles)

(The waiter brings Rinoa her sundae and Squall gets his water)

Rinoa: My Sundae! You want some?

Squall: No, you eat it all

Rinoa: (Take a bite out of the sundae) ouch! Brain freeze

(So Squall and Rinoa talk and talk and once in a while Rinoa gets another brain freeze. Then they go back to Balamb and walk to the coast. Where the beautiful beach was)

(They sit on the sand and wait for the sun to go down)

Rinoa: This is... beautiful... great... I mean I just love this

Squall: I hoped you would

Rinoa: Don't you wish some moments can just last forever

Squall: Not till now

Rinoa: What we shared....it will be in my heart always...the memories I will treasure...forever...

Squall: When I'm with you there are moments that makes me want to live forever...the moments spent with you is a moment treasured....forever the moment lie within my heart and soul...

Rinoa: (Whispers) I do love you

Squall: I love you

(Squall and Rinoa kiss. Then put their foreheads against each others and stare in each others eyes.)

Rinoa: (Giggles but not too much) I love your eyes and your face... and your cute cheeks and your beautiful hair...

Squall: I love your eyes... your innocent smile... your everything... your perfect

(They both laugh. Squall kisses Rinoa's forehead)

Squall: We need to go before the Valentines party starts

Rinoa: Now? (Says upset)

Squall: I'm sorry; I have to keep a look out at the party. Just to make sure everything is safe. Your dad might be sending soldiers.

Rinoa: Don't call him my dad. He's rotten. I can't believe he's at us again.

Squall: Hey it's not for sure. I'm gonna be with you and nothing will ruin the day.

Rinoa: I love you. Don't let go if anything goes wrong.
