Remember I don't own Final Fantasy IX.
From her seat in the balcony Garnet watched all her friends arrive. First Quina and other cooks came down, the other chef's took seats in the back but Quina went to the seat saved in the front row. Next Eiko, Cid and Hilda arrived; enthusiastically Eiko waved to her cousin. Grinning Garnet waved back more sedately. Freya and Fratly arrived shortly after, with a pang of jealousy Garnet watched Eiko begin to pester them with questions, she had wanted to sit down among her friends but Steiner and Beatrix and forbid it. After the play was over she would be able to talk with at the banquet. Vivi came with his "children", copies he had made with the help of the Gnomes and, much to everyone's surprise, Amarant turned up. With her higher vantage point Garnet was the only one who saw Lani slip in behind him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Freya looked up at her friend sadly. She knew how it felt to loose someone you love. When Fratly had first disappeared she had nearly died, overcome by grief and sorrow. The Burmican looked up to the top balcony and whispered "Be strong Dagger, be strong."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
"The theater ship will be here any minuet!" Garnet whispered excitedly to herself. "I can't wait to see everyone again!" She sighed "But.It's no the same. It won't ever be the same. I have to stop living in the past."
"Why do I always have to play the lead?" Marcus muttered to himself as he walked along a corridor in the Prima Vista 2. Still muttering about the unfairness of it he walked in to the costume room. Someone, probably Ruby, had left a glass of water on the table. "Playing the lead is thirsty work." He grabbed the glass and downed it all in one gulp. The room started to blur, "Might as well take a nap." Marcus was asleep before he hit the floor. A shadow detached itself from the wall.
"That will hold him long enough for this to work."
The play had started over a half-hour ago but Garnet wasn't really paying attention. How can I keep from living in the past when all I see reminds me of him? She always asked herself that question as if by repeating it she could somehow find and answer. Her mind began to wander and she didn't even notice what was going on, she kept remember scenes of her journey. How even thought she had even seen it she had been falling love with the brash young thief. Suddenly her mind was yanked back to the present by on sentence.
"And bring my beloved Dagger to me!"
Her mind whirled with confusion. It couldn't be could it? He was dead wasn't he? She rushed to the edge of the parapet to make sure. The voice that she had thought only existed in her dreams and memories, the figure she had thought was lost to her forever, Zidane Tribal!
She turned and rushed toward the doors, she would get to see him! She had to jerk to a stop, Beatrix and Steiner where blocking the doorway with out stretched arms. Garnet looked down tears beginning to form in her eyes, if she didn't go down would he think it was because she didn't love him? Suddenly the doors creaked open, startled she looked over at Steiner who simple smiled at her. Beatrix bowed and motioned for her to go. Garnet nodded her thanks and speed off down the stairs.
Garnet pushed her way through the crowed heart pounding. As her shoulder with a strange man timed seemed to slow down. She felt a brief tug on her neck and the horrifying release that meant the chain had snapped. She saw the Falcon Crest going flying back wards and land with a soft noise on the ground. She stopped and looked behind her. Should she go on to her love or go back and get her necklace? Up ahead Zidane had moved to the edge of the stage waiting for her. The person that meant the most to her in the world or the symbol of her office? It didn't take her long to decide. Silently she placed her hand over her heart. Mother, Father I hope you can forgive me. She prayed. Then she reassumed her forward flight.
As she got near the stage she grabbed her tiara with both and threw it to the ground. Then she though her self into her beloved's arms. She looked up eyes questing for an answer, Where had he been? Zidane simply smiled and shrugged as if it was of no concern. Rage seethed under her skin, how could he act as if she didn't care? How could he? She hit with her fist to punctuate her words and then dissolved into tears of helpless frustration. Suddenly Zidane brought his hand up to stroke the back of her head. She looked up and looked in to his eyes, and realized that he couldn't say anything because he didn't know how to say that he had missed her. Overcome by her emotions Garnet buried her head in his shoulder and cried. After a second she whispered to him "How did you survive?" He answered:
"I sang your song, our song and I survived. The song reminded me that you need me. I just couldn't leave you."
Plantress: I final managed to finish this! Please R &R and tell if I got all the info form the game down right, it's been a while since I played ^^. Anyway I do plan on continuing the story.
