Sweet Visions of Dreams

By: Sweet Ruby

Disclamor: I don't own FF9, however, I DO own Nayeli, Yael, and a few others.

A/N: HEY! Everyone! I have writer's block on my other fic....'Made Tenshi Iu Syonara'. So I started this! I hope you like! Oh yes.....changes....I won't go on unless I get at least TWO reviews for this prologue. And two more for every chapter.

"Huh....?" a soft murmer came from an unusually large bed layered in thick, red, velvet, blankets, and soft satin sheets. Two eyes opened lazily and stared at the window, one chocolate brown, the other, azure. The morning sun's bright, golden rays shone into the room through the window and the white lace curtains, lighting it up with a yellow hue. A Flock of white doves flew by, calling to each other, deciding on where to land. The small figure of a little girl, no older than maybe five or six, stepped out of bed, and slowly made her way to the window. She gently pushed aside one of the curtains while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

A gentle knock, almost too silent to be heard, sounded at the door. Followed by a woman's soft voice, "Nayeli....are you up and about, yet?"

Nayeli mumbled a quiet 'yes'.

"Nayeli?"

"Yes....I'm awake.." the little girl said loud enough for the woman to hear.

The door opened slowly, and a young woman with wavey, copper hair and green eyes walked in, closing the door behind her, quietly. "Nayeli? Do you know what today is?"

"January 14th.....1812.....why?" Nayeli turned around to look at the 19 year old woman.

The woman smiled and gave a small chuckle. "Why Nayeli! It's your and your mother's birthday!"

Nayeli finally shot awake at the mention of her 8th birthday. "I almost forgot!!!!!!!!!!!" she shouted excitedly.

"Shh! Nayeli!" the woman scolded gently. "You're parents are still asleep!"

"Oh...sorry...." She looked down at her feet, causing her chin- length, silvery hair to fall in her face.

The Woman took this moment to study the young girl. She was very short for her age, and was a bit stout. Her eyes were different colors. The left eye was a deep, chocolate brown, while her right eye was a bright, lively azure. Her hair was a silvery color, nearly the color of a 50Gil piece. On her forehead, she bore a golden horn, and on her backside, she had inhearited a small, slender tail, the same color as her hair. "That's alright Nayeli..."

Nayeli looked up at the woman and gave her an evil grin. "Tanha, may I please go wake them?" she asked in a voice, sweet as honey.

Tanha smiled and shook her head. "You may."

"Yay!" The girl dashed out of the room, her bare feet patting against the bare, marble stoned floor, and her white silk night gown flowwing like smooth water behind her. Servents and gaurds smiled at her running figure as she passed them. They all knew what the little girl was up to. Nayeli stopped running and slowed down to a stop in front of her parent's room. She hid a small giggle behind her hand and she reached up for one of the door's knobs. Slowly, she turned the knob and snuck into the room. The heavy velvet curtains were drawn closed, shielding the room from any light which dared to try and disturb the occupent's dreamful state. Ever so silently, the small girl tip-toed to the large bed in which two sleeping forms were sleeping peacfully in each other's arms. Nayeli smirked as she jumped onto the bed with a great 'WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!' and landed right on top of both figures. The woman screamed in suprise and the man shot awake and laughed.

The woman started to laugh as well. She spoke as she brushed a small locke of her dark, black hair, behind her ear. "Nayeli-Miyoko Til Alexandros-Tribal! What are you doing?"

Nayeli giggled. "Waking you up, sleepy heads!!!!!!!!!!" She swayed her tail back and forth, in pure happiness.

"Oh really?" Garnet asked, a bit of laughter still in her voice.

She nodded.

"Sleepy head's eh?" Zidane asked slyly.

Nayeli smiled and nodded.

"Well...let's see a 'sleepy head' do this!" Nayeli squealed as he qouckly moved his hands to her sides and tickled her.

Sometime during Garnet's screaming, Beatrix, Steiner, and their 10 year old son, Yael, had found their way to the King and Queen's bedroom door. Steiner laughed, and Beatrix shook her head as she said softly, "Yet another day in Alexandria's Castle..." Yael just stood there quietly.
