Tomorrow is another day
Chapter one -
"Very funny, Squall, You could be a comedian someday!" Rinoa answered, giggling.
"So now I'm joking am I? Do you think I'd be joking about something like this? A life or death situation!?" Squall shouted, getting angry.
"You're not joking?" Rinoa asked, her eyes going wide.
"Well, what do you think I've been trying to tell you! Of course I'm being serious!" he yelled, before turning his back on her.
"Squall...I-I'm sorry. I know you wouldn't joke about this." Rinoa said, walking forwards slightly before hesitating.
"Alright. You know I'm not joking. Do you have any questions?"
"W-what can I do to prevent this?" Rinoa asked.
"I really don't know. I think that this might not be able to be prevented, so be on your guard at all times. I'll tell him to back off. Maybe that'll help. If you're in any doubt, stay with me at all times." Squall suggested.
"O-okay. But what if anyone else asks why I'm with you all the time?" Rinoa asked.
"Well, I haven't thought of that yet. If we wait until the right time, we will tell them the truth. I don't want all of your friends worrying as well as you. Shall we go back to bed?" Squall said.
"Yes, but why don't we tell them the truth right away?" Rinoa asked.
"Because I don't want everyone to know about my power. If that reaches Odine's ears..." Squall said.
"But, President Laguna's your father, isn't he? Won't he stop Odine?" Rinoa asked.
"Just because Laguna's the president of Esthar, it doesn't mean that he can stop everyone from doing what they want to!" Squall snapped at her. "Look, Rinoa, I'm sorry. I'm under a bit of pressure, if you haven't noticed."
"That's OK. I understand." said Rinoa, wrapping her arms around him. By this time, they were outside their room.
***NEXT DAY***
"Rinoa!!! Get up!!! You promised to go swimming today!" Selphie shouted, impatiently tapping her foot outside Squall and Rinoa's room.
"Yes, OK, I'm coming! I just need to find my costume!" Rinoa shouted back. A moment later, Rinoa emerged, bikini and towel draped over her shoulder. "OK, Selphie, I'm here. Wasn't Quistis supposed to be coming with us?" Rinoa asked.
"Yes, but she got her instructor lisence back this morning, and she's too busy, because she has to sort out her schedule." Selphie said.
"Um, Selphie, is it alright if Squall comes with us? He really needs some time with other people. He's been stressed out a bit lately." Rinoa asked.
"Um, sure! If he doesn't mind being in the company of girls!" Selphie giggled, thinking of the prospect of Squall in swimming trunks.
"OK! Let me go get him!" Rinoa rushed inside the room once more, where Selphie heard a thump, and Rinoa yelling, followed by giggling. Selphie peeked through the door, to see Rinoa bending over him, and Squall on the floor, with a lump forming on the back of his head.
"Rinoa, what happened here? It looks like Squall woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" Selphie giggled.
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, Selphie. Now could you please do me a favour, and get that megaphone off Rinoa." Squall said, laughing slightly. Everyone had noticed that since Rinoa had come into Squall's life, he had become a much more enjoyable companion.
"OK, lets go hit that POOL!" Selphie screamed, running towards the infirmary. When they got there, they got changed, and Squall was in the water first, followed by Rinoa, then Selphie. Rinoa went and sat next to Squall in the shallow end, and they were whispering. Selphie heard the word 'power' and 'don't' a few times, so she decided to ask.
"Hey, guys, what are you talking about? Why are you leaving me out?" Selphie asked, feigning hurt.
"Um, Selphie, we are, sort of, talking about private stuff. Sorry, but you're not supposed to know, yet." Squall said.
"OK!" Selphie said brightly. I'll just go get Irvine to go talk to!" Selphie exclaimed, jumping out of the pool. "Be right back!"
"Well, why did you want me to come with swimming with you, Rinoa?" Squall asked.
"I wanted to talk a bit more about your power." Rinoa replied. "Why haven't I been able to sense it before you told me about it?"
"I can conceal it to all people that don't know." He replied.
As he finished his sentence, Selphie came running, a tired out Irvine panting out behind her.
"Selphie! Can you please slow down a bit?" Irvine asked.
"I can't slow down! This is FUN! And, we're there, anyway."
"Finally!" Irvine sat, panting, on the side of the pool, getting his breath back. He had already changed, and was getting ready to slide in. He never got the chance. Selphie pushed him in, giggling like a maniac. He grabbed the closest thing to him - Selphie, and dragged her in with him.
"NO!!!" Squall shouted, leaping up from the pool. Selphie and Irvine were giving him funny looks, and Squall quickly exited the pool, closely followed by Rinoa.
"What was that all about?" Selphie asked, bewildered.
"I don't know, Selphie, I really don't know."
Well? Is it better with a lot of it being edited? I must admit, before, it was REALLY rubbish. I might keep some of my better chapters with just a few modifications. Enjoy!
