Notes: Okay now we gotta go back to focussing more on Squall and Quistis. To tell you the truth I haven't quite decided how it is going to end yet. I have a
few ideas, but I am not sure which one would suit the ending of the story best. I just have to see were it is going and if the ending should be more of a
lighter happy or a serious or a depressing. You will just have to wait and see. I finally got around to editing the chapters. All you people were bugging me so much so I just decided the heck with it, I'll do it now. There are you happy?
Red Scorpion
Chapter 4
I couldn't sleep. I tried, but whenever I did sleep I found myself having terrible nightmares about the things that the children are or had to go through. It was very early in the
morning. I stepped out of bed and went to the balcony to look outside. Our hotel was located right by the beach giving us a lovely view of the water. I gazed out at the
ocean, the moon was in its cresent stage and was reflected on the water.
I then gazed at the sky. There were hundreds of stars everywhere. Stars have always facinated me. They are millions of miles away and although a star might have
burned out years and years ago its light is still traveling throughout space. It is very facinating to me.
I felt eyes upon me and turned around to see Squall looking me at he slowly walked from his bed toward the balcony. I felt a bit embaresed wearing just the large shirt
that I slept in. He didn't seem to care or notice as he stepped out next to me. I gave him a small smile which he returned as he stepped out onto the balcony next to me.
I didn't know what to say to him. We hadn't talked much since the train ride.
What do you say to the one you secretly love? I decided I would try to avoid anything that would lead to Rinoa or anything that would be uncomfortable. I was still
nervous from falling asleep with him on the same bed. I decided that I should try to talk about the mission.
"I couldn't sleep," I said. "I can't stop thinking about those poor kids."
"I know what you mean," He replied. Awkward silence. I didn't know what else to talk about.
"Aren't the stars beautiful?" I asked him turning away from him and gazing back up into the sky. Suddenly I saw a shooting star going across the sky.
"Make a wish Quistis," Squall said quietly. I turned toward him and decided gazing into those eyes were much better than the stars. He leaned in towards my face.
I didn't know what to do, he was getting closer and closer and Rinoa and- I couldn't stop him or myself, nor did I honestly want to. My heart pounded in my chest as I
wrapped my arms around him as he did to me. Then we began to french kiss. He held me closer and I felt like I could have stayed like that forever. Suddenely I
remembered the one thing that stopped this moment from being perfect. I broke the kiss and backed away a few feet.
"Squall, I- Rinoa?" Was all I could say. He looked down at me and frowned.
"She doesn't love me, she needs someone young and cool and fun..." He began to explain. I didn't let him finish. I gave him a short, but passionate kiss.
"Squall, you are married, okay?" I tried to tell him. "I... love you, btu I can't do anything about the fact that you are married. I can't do anything with you without feeling
like I'm being a terrible cheating slut. (Which is true, but that is a completely different story) You have to understand." And with that I left him standing there snd went to my bed. A few minutes later he went into his bed as
well. I don't think that either of us slept the rest of the night, but I didn't want to talk or do anything else to let Squall know that I was awake.

Sometime shortly before dawn I got up to take a shower. I had absolutely no idea what to say to Squall today. I think that I should try to avoid any discussion on the
events of last night and shuggest that we split up today; I can go search for some more clues while Squal interrogates townspeople. Hopefully everything will turn out all
right in the end. I got out of the shower and dried my hair, then put on my clothes and stepped out of the bathroom. Squall was sitting up on the end of his bed with some
clothes in his hands. I was staring a bit and as his head went up and our eyes locked I quickly turned my head away and put my old things in my suitcase. 10 minutes
later he came out of the bathroom and approached me.
"Quistis," He began. "I have been doing a lot of thinkin-"
"Stop!" I exclaimed cutting his sentace short. "Lets not talk about that okay?" He nodded. "Today I think we should split up..." I told him what I thought we should do
and just nodded the whole time and left. I sighed as I walked out or our room and towards the lobby to go sluething the popular areas in Dollet.
