A/n: I actually got reviews. Oh my. Well, here's the rest! The parts that have these ** are parts that I directly lifted from the game, which is owned by Squaresoft.

Chapter 2         

After about a year, Kiros, Laguna's old army friend went to visit him at Winhill.

"Hey Laguna, are you doing this patrol thing everyday?" Kiros asked Laguna.

"Thing!? What're you callin' THING!!?" Laguna shouted.

 "Weren't you aiming to become a world traveling journalist? You've heard of Timber Maniacs right? I had a talk with the chief editor; he said he's interested in any article related to world travel." Kiros said.

"That's great!" Laguna answered a bit hesitantly.

"We should go talk to him sometime."

"Y-Yeah…Um, It'd be okay if we stayed here a bit longer, right?"

"You need time to gather more material? This seems like a really nice town. You're gonna write about this place first aren't you?" Kiros asked.

"No way, can't make this place famous. Too much publicity and you get all those tourists and stuff."

"You're afraid someone might come and take Raine away? Laguna, you've changed, man."

"Hey! I see a monster!" Laguna said, running towards the outskirts of the town. **

            Laguna was looking at the bridge where he and Kiros had that conversation, remembering how stubborn he was to the fact that he was getting attached. He wondered why he was so scared to believe that he was happy and contented. I guess I was scared of losing Raine and Ellone

            "Hm, what's the matter?" Kiros asked Laguna as they reached his room, ready to take a break.

            "I get scared sometimes. Scared of waking up somewhere else…Scared of not seeing Ellone…" Laguna answered.

            "Scared of not seeing Raine?"

            "What happened to me? What is this I'm feeling? Oh please let it be this room when I wake up! Please let me be in this puny bed when I wake up!" Laguna said with much worry in his voice.

            "Laguna, you've changed." Kiros said. **

            As he stood there, he thought, 'I was just too scared'. Laguna slowly closed his eyes and bent down to touch Raine's grave. A tear fell down his face as flashbacks of the night he thought to be his happiest came over him. It was the night he proposed to Raine.

            "Raine…are yoo gonna marry Uncle Laguna?" Ellone asked Raine in her innocent voice.

            "A guy like that? He was carried in here crying like a baby, and I was the one who had to take care of him…His crude way of speaking…Every time I try to have a serious conversation, he avoids it…I can't stand his snoring and he talks in his sleep!" Raine ranted.

            "But he's really nice! I really really like him! Raine, Uncle Laguna and Elle should all be together!" Elle said with much mirth.

            "…But you know…I think what he really wants to do is travel all over the world. I don't think he has it in him to live in a quiet country town like this one. Some people are like that…Ouuuuuu, it makes me so mad." Raine said with much frustration.

            "Yoo don't like him?" Ellone asked with a sad face.

            "I feel the same as you, Ellone." **

            A week after that, after much convincing from Kiros, Laguna gathered up the courage to buy engagement rings. He was so scared of even buying the rings that Kiros had such a hard time convincing him.

            "Kiros, I bought rings! You take them! Ahhh!" Laguna said, after exiting the store, panicking over nothing.

            "They're just rings, man. Now the hard part's the actual proposal." Kiros said. With just the word 'proposal' Laguna turned chalk white and had to lean on the wall for support.

 "I shouldn't have said that…"

            After a few weeks of much contemplating, denial and insanity, Laguna got brave enough to ask Raine for a quiet night out. "Uh…Raine, you wanna go…uh… take a walk?" Laguna said after dinner one evening, while trying to control his leg cramp.

 "Sure…I'll go clean up." Raine said, moving to clear the dishes.

 "I'll help!" Laguna and Ellone said together.

"Okay." Raine said, laughing.

When the dishes were finally washed and Ellone safely tucked in bed, Laguna and Raine went out for their walk. Halfway to the fields, Laguna reached into his pocket to find the rings NOT THERE. Panicking, he muttered a fast apology to Raine and told her to wait by the fields 'because he forgot to kiss Ellone goodnight' and then rushed towards the house as fast as his legs could carry him. When he finally got the rings he rushed back to the fields and stopped a few ways away to watch. He stopped to watch Raine looking at the stars, humming a sweet tune and at that moment, he felt so in love that he was convinced that Raine was forever.

Laguna looked at the ring in his hand and started walking towards her, nervous as ever. Twice he considered going the other way whenever he was three feet away from her. As he was about to walk away, Raine put a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, Laguna held her hand and put the ring on her finger. Raine was surprised and pure happiness could be seen in her eyes as Laguna showed his ring to her. He held her to him, intent on keeping her close forever. They held each other like that for a long time, savoring the happiest moment of their lives.

"I love you, Raine."

"I love you too, Laguna."

a/n: Imagine the final movie when they show Raine and Laguna. J

            That night was their happiest, or so he thought, for that night was only the beginning of more happiness and unfortunately sadness for soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Loire.
