If You Only Knew
Disclaimer - Squaresoft owns Final Fantasy VIII, not me. How can you tell? *short pause* *bing bing bing!* That's right! Seifer and Fujin don't make out every five minutes! *bing bing bing* I also would've accepted they don't have 8 children. ;_;
I'm having the time of my life writing this! ^_^ But I'm getting strange ideas listening to Chrono Cross music while eating Pixistix and drinking Cherry Cola... Hmm... let's write it out in math.
Chrono Cross Music + Pixistix + Cherry Cola = Cute Saifuu Lovin' in general
I suddenly like math now, don't you? ^_^ I'm bored, so here are the rest for your enjoyment (or to skip)
1) Savage Garden Music + Milk + A Hot Dog = Cute little talk
2) Bryan Adams Music + Orange Soda + Fruit/Something Fruit Flavoured = A Hug/Cuddling-like-action
3) A Moment Like This/Eyes on Me + those clear carbonated beverages + chips = A kiss, but not on the lips (cheek, forehead, umm... neck... ear... nose... whatever...)
4) Simple and Clean/Hikari (or their techno remixes) + orange/apple juice + something with sprinkles on it (mmm... sprinkles!) = a REAL kiss
5) Any Extreme Love Song + Pepsi + Any sandwich (except PB&J, ugh) = ... Something unfit to print in a PG fanfiction, but I don't listen to Extreme Love Songs anyway. ^_^
I'll never do that again, I promise. And yes, Fujin did give back the Russian dress, waaah, I had to too. ;_; Oh, yeah, and I've decided on a whim they live in B.C. ^_^ Like me!
Fujin stared at her ceiling, you'd think, with such a big house, she'd have a more interesting hobby.
No, really...
She was thinking, the sooner she got these lyrics finished, the sooner Seifer could write the music, and the sooner they could practice it, the better they would be.
But her brain was frozen.
If this was just a poem for English class, there was no problem. She could just write one line, make the next one rhyme with the first, and keep that going. But this was going to be a song that she was going to sing with Seifer, and these lyrics had to be perfect.
Who can brainstorm with a frozen brain???
"Hi, Fujin."
"Hmm?" Fujin stopped her train of thought, finally accepting she never had one. She looked at her door, where her father stood.
"What you doing up this late?"
She shrugged and looked back at the ceiling, "Nothing."
"Why?"
"No reason."
"Then you should be asleep," he looked at the clock, "It's almost 11:30."
Fujin sighed, "I can't sleep."
"Hmmp," he put a few sheets of paper next to her head, "This was on our porch."
She turned her head to look, it was the sheet music, "Oh... I must've forgotten it there..."
"And this," he placed a flower on top of the papers, "Please... please be asleep by midnight..." he kissed Fujin's forehead, "'Night," he left.
"Good night dad!" Fujin sat up and picked up the flower, "... Bluebells..." she leaned back and looked at them, "... from Seifer???"
Her lips formed a smile as she put down the flowers and looked at the sheet music, "Okay... 'Everything I Do...' 'Truly, Madly, Deeply...' and 'Here I Am...'"
She sighed and put down the sheet music, then picked up the bluebells and just stared at them.
Well, they were more interesting than the ceiling, at least.
*** The next day ***
Fujin got up early that morning to start working on the lyrics. She sat the at breakfast table staring at what she had already written while slowly eating toast. It was easy to think since the whole house was quiet... until...
"Fujin! Fujin! Fujin!" Sora rushed in, "I found the perfect dress for you! It's blue and sparkly and has flowers on it and--"
"Wait, wait," she interuppted. Fujin then turned around and gave her sister an odd look, "... What?"
"I found a dress for you!"
"What... for?"
Sora smiled, "For the competition!"
"Ehh..." Fujin looked confused, "How do you know?"
She sat down on the chair next to Fujin and handed her a sheet of paper, "It's page 7 of the audition listings of B.C. Star Search, and right here..." she pointed, "'Seifer Almasy and Fujin Kazeno.'"
"Where did you get this???"
"Julia's older sister wrote up the audition listings and found your name, which she thought was mine so she showed me this and asked me if I was participating," Sora looked at her, "And that's how I found out!" she blinked, "I never knew you wanted to be a singer."
She sighed, "I'm just singing with him because he asked me."
"I'm so sure..." Sora took one slice of toast from Fujin's plate and took a bite, "Whatcha doin'?"
"Writing."
Sora grabbed the sheet of paper, "Let's see..."
"Hey! Give that back!"
"'If you knew what I really felt, would you still be here with me? If I could say how I feel, maybe we'd be more. If you only knew... oh, only knew. If you only knew that I loved you.'"
Fujin snatched it back and crumpled it up, "It was a first attempt for song lyrics. I have to rewrite it!!"
"It was cute!" Sora frowned, "It would've made a great duet, why do you have to rewrite it?"
"It would've sounded WEIRD!" she groaned, "That's why."
"... You know that place at the mall?"
Fujin looked at Sora, "Ye...ah??"
"That little square with all the white benches and flowers and that big fountain? You called it 'The Inspiration Fountain' or somethin' like that. You used to go there all the time with Rai..." Sora trailed off.
Fujin played with her hair and didn't speak for a moment, "... 'Springs.'"
"Huh?"
"It was 'Inspiration Springs...' I called it that when I was 12..." she sat down, "... because I kept on coming back and drawing that fountain as many times as I could."
Sora finished the toast, "We should go there... You called it 'Inspiration Springs' it has to inspire you somehow. It could help you write lyrics!"
"Ummm..."
"Plus, I could should you the dress that would look PERFECT on you!"
*** The Mall ***
Fujin sat alone on her favourite bench, just to look at the water jumping and splashing. It was one of her favourite sights, and since not many others appreciated it, it was usually quiet. Perfect for Fujin, she loved seeing this sight in complete silence.
She ran her hands through her hair and sighed, "Sora's been at that store for half-an-hour... I don't even remember where she went... Mariposa... Sears... I have no clue..." Fujin rubbed her eye, "Aw, man..." Fujin pulled her glasses out and put them on, "My vision's getting worse every day..."
Fujin looked around, "... That's better," she put her hair behind her ears and continued to look at the fountain.
"Fujin?"
She looked behind her, "... Seifer?"
"... I didn't know you had glasses," Seifer smirked and sat next to her.
"I... I have terrible vision in one eye... and it's dragging the other one with it... my eyes blur up sometimes, that's when I wear them," Fujin paused, "What are you doing here?"
"Picking up a mic," he replied, "Mine broke. What about you?"
"My sister's looking for a dress... I'm just waiting for her."
Seifer nodded, "Oh, yeah, you have a sister, is she older or younger?"
"Older, but only by a minute or two. She's my twin, Sora."
"... Identical?"
Fujin nodded.
"... Wow... so there's another person who looks JUST like you?"
"Lots of people can't tell us apart that easily... but we dress very differently."
Seifer thought ( Wow... another person who looks exactly like Fujin... The world just got twice as beautiful ) he looked at Fujin ( Ah, who am I kidding? No one can possibly look EXACTLY like Fujin, God couldn't possibly put TWO perfect people on this planet )
She flattened out her skirt and sighed, "There is... another difference between me and Sora," Fujin shrugged, "When we were young our doctor said one of us was going to be weaker, scrawnier... and get more illnesses than the other..." she nodded, "That was me."
Seifer looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"Well..." she paused, "My skin is paler, I get sick often, and I'm pretty much just skin and bones..." she took off her glasses and bit her lip, "And I've got vision problems... So I got to wear these half of the time."
"Put them back on."
"Huh?"
"Put them back on," Seifer repeated. When she did nothing, he took her glasses from her hands on put them on her, "... There..." he smiled.
Fujin blinked, "What?"
"Your eyes, through your glasses," he pointed, "... They're..." he chuckled and spoke in Russian.
She nodded, "Uh... huh..."
Seifer grinned, "I gotta go pick up that mic, I'll call you tonight and we'll decide on our next practice, okay?"
Fujin put her hands in her lap, "Okay."
He stood up and walked off, waving to Fujin. He was greeted by Vivian, "You know, Seifer... I've been practicing my Russian..."
"So?"
She repeated the Russian Seifer had said perfectly then smiled. Seifer scoffed, "So you can pronounce it... Come on, we got to get back soon."
Seifer began to walk in the direction of one of the electronic stores. Vivian repeated the Russian again in her head and smiled, "'Your eyes, through your glasses, they're too beautiful for English words,'" she shook her head, giggled, and caught up to her brother.
*sigh* Why did I give both of them sisters who are in someway obsessed with how cute they are together? Oh, well, I NEED them in this fanfiction. ^_^ For me, this was a long chapter, and it felt like it took me forever to write. -_- Oh, well, whatever. I have three tests in the same week. RAGE!!!!!!!!
Review and I'll give you gold!
OR CANDY!!
Buh-bye
