SilverSiara: Hey guys! Thanks to everybody for reviewing. Thanks for the shiny happy face sticker gamegurl mirai! Now on with the chapter!
************************************************************************
"Ah…this feels great…" I said as I soaked into the hot tub. It has been nearly a year since I've been in one. It also felt nice to get refreshed after a day like this.
"Wonder if dads worried…no he's not. There is no need to worry, because this isn't real. When I go to bed tonight, I'll be woken up by dad like usual. Although I wish this was real…" I looked up at the ceiling. It was painted with shades of lavender and silver. Ha…my favorite colors.
"Maybe it's a good thing I'm having dreams. I'll actually get some color in my life. Its been dull these past 3 years. So dull since you left mom…" Why do I have to remember her now? I was actually kinda happy. I looked down at my arms "My scars look a little better. Better than before…no, I need to stop thinking about that. Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts…"
"Aoki…pretty nice guy once you get to know him and cute, or as Sierra told me, 'hot'. He, he…" I looked over at the clock. "10:07...what can I do for the rest of the night? Wonder if my stuff is here…"
I soaked for another 3 minutes, then finally got out. I grabbed the towel hanging on the door and walked into 'my' room. For the first I actually noticed what the room looked like. The walls were made of gray brick, and the floor made of marble. The curtains were magenta colored with gold bordering. My bed was magenta colored too with white pillows and a wood canopy at the top, with a dark red carpet surrounding it. It was also pretty big, probably a queen sized, or more appropriately a 'princess' sized. There was an oak chest in the upper left hand corner, then a study. On top of it was…
"My backpack!" I ran over to it and immediately checked to see if everything was there. "Lets see…books, CD's, CD player, games, and laptop. Looks like its all here." I also found my digital camera, a bunch of film, my garnet colored peasant shirt, my tan pants, my pink pajamas with hearts on them, some underwear and my alarm clock. For a backpack, it sure carried a lot. But when I opened my CD case…
"WHAT THE HELL??!! Where are my new CD's?! Don't tell me I left them! Man, this sucks…oh well." After that I heard a faint knock on the door.
"Your Highness? Are you alright? May I come in?" I could tell it was Beatrix.
"Just a second!" Very quickly, I slid the towel off, grabbed my pajamas and underwear and put them on.
"Yes Beatrix?" Before she could say anything, she gave a strange look and started to giggle. I understood why.
"Oh, my pajamas…see I got them from this guy who was selling stuff and he said they are super comfy. He didn't have any plain ones, so I had to get the ones with hearts on them. I know there not normal…" Did that work?
"Your highness, its alright. I just thought they were cute." Beatrix? She had a different side than being serious? Wow…
"Thank you Beatrix. Did you come to tell me something?"
"Yes I did. Their majesties said they want to meet to meet you at 10:00 tomorrow morning, and also, do you need anything?"
"Actually I do." I went over and grabbed my clothes I had worn.
"I was wondering if you could have somebody wash my clothes?"
"Why of course your highness. Do you need anything else?"
"Naw I'm good. Before I forget, what time is breakfast?"
"9:30."
"Ok. Thanks Beatrix, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
After she left, I set my alarm to 9:00am and decided to get plenty of sleep, if just in case I would wake up in Alexandria.
******************************************************************************
"RIIIIINGGGGGG!!!!!!!" the alarm went off.
"GOOD GOD!!!! I'm up!" I sat up groggily and looked around.
"WHAT THE IN THE FREAKING HELL??!!" I looked around and nothing had changed. I was still in the magenta bed. 'What now? Do I stay here forever? What should I do…?' I thought to myself.
"Sara, just stay calm…until anything happens, I'll stay here. It won't be that bad, I'm with my favorite video game characters of all time! Its gonna be awesome!" I cheerfully got out of bed and put on my clothes (ones in my backpack), put my hair up, slipped on my shoes, grabbed my backpack and went to breakfast. As I walked down the stairs, I saw…
"Hey there Aoki!" He was walking up the stairs, probably to tell me to come to breakfast.
"Hello Sara. Your cheery this morning."
"I always try to be cheery. I'm going to breakfast, you wanna come?"
"Sure lets go."
As we walked toward the kitchens, I saw a creature know one could forget (well, maybe you could…).
"Is that…?" I said
"Princess! I cook good food today!" It was none other than Quina Quen, the food crazy Qu.
"Uh…hi." Is that all I could say?
"Sara, this is Quina, the head chef of Alexandria Castle."
"I know."
"How do you…?" Before he could ask, we were greeted by…
"Ah, morning Siara and Aoki! How did ya sleep?" Zidane said happily.
"Great dad!" That felt strange, calling Zidane 'dad'.
"You're already calling me your father, no your dad! Guess today's gonna be a great day."
"Where's mom?" That also felt strange.
"She's on her way…"
"Oh sorry I'm late!" Garnet came running through the kitchen doors.
"Dagger slow down! We just got here too." So he still calls her Dagger…
"I see…Why hello Siara, how are you feeling?"
"Fine, thanks mom."
"That's good."
"Where are Steiner and Beatrix?" I asked.
"They should be here soon." Aoki said.
"Good morning!" Steiner said as he greeted us.
"Morning!" we all said back.
"Where Beatrix?" Garnet asked.
"She said that she won't be joining us today because she needs to train her soldiers."
"Oh…well shall we eat?" Garnet said.
We all sat down and a bunch of chefs came in with trays full of food. They started serving us and ask what I wanted.
"Um…how bout an egg sandwich?"
"Scrambled or fried?"
"Fried." I said.
"Anything else on it?"
"How bout ham?"
"Sure." The chef quickly grabbed to pieces of toast, a fried egg, and 2 slices of ham.
"Here you go your highness."
"Thanks." I quickly ate it because I was supposed to talk to Zidane and Garnet about something.
"Hey Sara…" Aoki said.
"Yes?"
"Meet me at the docks at 11:00, after you talk to your parents."
"Got ya." I looked down at my watch. It was 9:59.
"Um, shouldn't we be going now?" I looked over at Zidane. He was gobbling down his turkey sandwich.
"Ow ke. Yu weadie too gow Draager."
"Zidane, how many times do I have to tell not to talk with food in your mouth?"
Zidane gulped down his food. "Uh…a bunch?"
"*Sigh* Lets go Siara." Garnet stood up and I followed her.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Zidane yelled and quickly ran up to us.
"Ha…reminds me long ago…" Steiner said. "Oh Aoki, could you do me a favor?"
"What would it be?"
"Don't tell the princess about her party. We want it to be a secret."
"Why?"
"Well, since the princess doesn't remember anything about it… it would for it to be a surprise."
"I'll try father." Aoki stood up and left the room.
"Ok, now that is done. Good thing the princess asked to go to town, we didn't have to force them. The queen's plans are working. This better not end in disaster." Steiner smiled and couldn't wait till next week.
******************************************************************************
"What did you guys want to talk to me about?" I asked. We were in the throne room.
"Well, we wanted to know why you knew us, but not others." Garnet stated.
"Oh…I suggest you get comfy. Well, you see where I was you guys were characters of a game."
"A game?" Zidane asked.
"Yeah, you two, Steiner, Beatrix, Vivi, Freya, Quina, Eiko, and Amarant. I know about your all's story. About how you saved the world from Kuja…"
Zidane stands up out of his chair and stares at me. "You know about that?"
"Uh huh, everything. I'll even prove it to you." I pulled out FF9 from my pack and showed it to them.
"Hey its us!" Zidane runs over and looks at the cover. "Your on it too Dagger!"
"I am?!" Garnet looks at it too.
"Look! There's Vivi, Steiner, and Amarant! Where did you get this Siara?"
"I…got it as a gift."
"From who?" Garnet asked.
"Um…Santa Claus?" DUMBASS!!!
"Santa Claus? I thought you stop believing in him Siara." What? They have Christmas here? No…get back to the picture Sara!
"Um, I don't know who gave it to me…" You lie Sara…
"Well, until this is figured out we need to keep this. Is that okay Siara?" Zidane asked.
"Yeah, just don't lose it." I looked down at my watch.
"AHHH!! Its 10:50!!! I gotta go see Aoki! Bye guys!" I ran out as quickly as I could.
******************************************************************************
"Very good, my plan is working…" Garnet said
"What plan?" Zidane asked.
"You know…"
"Oh, not that again! What if they get together! My grandkids will be telling me how improper I am!"
"Oh don't fret, one of them will turn out like you."
"I just hope your plan doesn't backfire…"
"It won't, they will be together before her birthday. I promise."
"Well, you are pretty sneaky, my queen."
"And your very amusing, your majesty." Garnet puts her arms around Zidane and kisses his nose.
"Come on, lets go work on the party plans." Garnet grabs Zidane's hand and they run out of the throne room.
