Okay here. Nother chapter and your still with me. Man you guys must be emotionally disturbed by now... Well, if ya's wasn't before.
Disclaimer I do not own FF VIII.
Rin looks at the sky. It was pitch black signifying it was late. She looks around for the best escape, which obviously the way she came. Rin bows and runs off. Laguna instinctively grabbed her arm and tried to stop her. Rin grabs her weapon and hits him in the leg.
Laguna crumbles and holds his leg.
'Sorry.' Rin signs then runs off.
Rin climbs into her hotel room. Dawn was sound asleep. Rin was to tired to wake her and tell her she was back.
****
The sun rises and Dawn awakes to the teacher knocking on the door. Dawn crawls from underneath her covers, and opens the door.
"Where's Rin?" The teacher asks bluntly.
'Sleeping.' Dawn signs suddenly waking up.
"I need to talk to her." The teacher pushes past Dawn.
Dawn watches in horror, expecting Rin to be still out. The teacher grabs the corner of the blanket and pulls it back. Pillows go flying and Dawn cringes and waits for the worst.
"Rin why are you sleeping underneath all those pillows?" The teacher asks.
Dawns mouth drops as Rin stretches and yawns. The teacher looks at the groggy Rin and sighs.
"Your grandfather is in the hotel lounge. He'd like to spend sometime with you today. I think it's great that your dad's dad wants to spend time with you." The teacher says. "Now come on get up. It's rude to keep a person waiting."
Dawn hands Rin a flowered tank top and black shorts. Rin grumbles and stumbles into the hotel rooms bathroom to get dressed. Surpressing a sigh of relief Dawn plops unto her bed. She didn't need to get up yet so she was going to sleep in.
Rin walks out a little more awake and grabs her weapon. The teacher doesn't say anything. It was practice to never leave your weapon behind. Not to mention it was something that made Squall feel better.
Laguna stands up and looks at Rin as she walks into the lobby. He was about to mention the meeting last night but then realizes she wasn't supposed to be out. He smiles and leans on his cane harder. Watching her grin he realizes she notices his grey hair. Instinctively he tries to hide it under his still black hair.
'Well, ready to go grandpa?' Rin signs with an evil grin.
Laguna twitches. He wasn't used to being called grandpa. Heck Squall didn't even call him dad.
Rin takes Laguna's hand and pulls him out the door. Hopefully she can spend time with her granddad and still get back before Dawn awakes. Laguna on the other hand intended on spending the full day with her.
"So, tell me about yourself." Laguna says searching from something to talk about. "Did Squall marry that woman, umm, Rinoa?"
'Yes, moms gone. she's been gone for along time. Since the day I was born. Dad has raised me alone. Course with help from his friends.' Rin thinks. 'I used to have two best friends but one moved away. Dad didn't like him none. And today's my birthday.'
"It is? How old are you?"
Rin holds up six fingers.
"Guess what Rinny it's my birthday too. I can't believe it." Laguna says sincerely. "Lets go celebrate our birthdays... Say has your dad ever taken you to the beach?"
Rin shakes her head no.
"I know a shop here in Timber. We'll buy you a swim suit and I'll take you swimming." Laguna says happily.
Rin doesn't know the sign for swimming so she just smiles and plays along. Letting Laguna lead her to a shop. Inside he flags down a person who complimented him on his duties as a mayor.
"My granddaughter here needs a swimsuit can you help me?" Laguna asks.
"I'm certain my daughter can. Anna!"
A shy woman comes out. The man points at Rin so she takes Rin in back. She had already over herd the conversation between Laguna and her father. The man and Laguna talk as the woman has Rin try on swim suits. After a while she shoo's Rin out to show Laguna a baby blue swimsuit.
"You look good Rin... How much?"
Laguna finishes business with the man. Rin slides on her shorts and her shirt over her swimsuit.
Laguna travels with Rin for a while before he comes to a beach. People patrolled around it to make sure no monsters disturbed the beach goers. Rin shimmed out of her shorts and top and ventures to the beach.
The waves rolled lazily unto the beach. Rin walks into the water and watches it as it swirls around her feet. She never experienced a beach before. She kicks a wave and laughs. Uncle Laguna say down and watch her dance in the waves.
'Come on grandpa. Come.'
Laguna thinks for a second translating her words then strips down to his swim trunks and half runs half hobbles to Rin. Rin laughs at Laguna's black and blue leg and runs deeper into the water. Stopping at little above her waist.
Laguna grabs Rin and pulls her out further. Panicking Rin ducks Laguna somehow and flails her self back to shallower water. Laguna comes up spitting and sputtering. Rin throws her head back and does her best mimicking laugh.
Laguna and Rin play in the waves for a while before heading into shore. There for the rest of the afternoon they pick up shells and sanddollers.
Afterwards Laguna takes her out to eat. Rin chooses fish same with Laguna. Rin pokes at her fish. It was almost like she was ready for it to jump out and get her.
"Fish is gonna get you!" Laguna pushes a chuck of fish close to Rin's face with his fork.
Rin jumps back and glares at Laguna. 'Not funny.'
"Come on Rin, fish is good." Laguna coaxes taking a big bite.
Rin pulls off a chunk and takes a tiny bite. It tasted very good. Different from hot-dogs and cafeteria food. Rin digs into the fish hungrily.
"Told you."
Rin sticks out her tongue at Laguna. Course not bothering to swallow.
"Eww Rinny that's gross."
Laguna takes a bite chews it good then opens his mouth showing the mashed particles. Rin cringes and pulls away. Laguna swallows then laughs.
By the time they left Rin had to be carried by a stiff Laguna. Who by now was barely able to walk himself. Rin was so tired she just lay limply on his shoulder. Laguna didn't care. He had always looked forward to a family. Now he had one, or at least a granddaughter.
Laguna walks up to the hotel and gets directed to Rin's room. He tucks her in tight and kisses her on the head goodnight.
'Laguna.' She signs. 'Will you come back with me and see dad?'
Laguna barely understands her in the darkness. But he nods and brushes back her hair.
"I'll try Rin, but I don't know how your dad will take to me." Laguna says sincerely. "Now good night."
'Night grandpa.'
Rin snuggles unto her covers. A smile crosses her face as she drifts off to sleep. Laguna tip toes out. Careful not to disturb Dawn or the now asleep Rin.
