Man I wish I owned Square and the Final Fantasy series. But until then I will continue to wish I did. Again Raisan and Draco are mine so don't use them without permission. Thank you.
Chapter 3 Tonight
(BALAMB GARDEN)
"I'm sorry." Those words rang in Squall's head. "I'm sorry," he thought. Squall couldn't believe his ears. Laguna knew.
"Squall are you there?" Asked Laguna. "Squall?"
"...What do you know?" Squall asked as he found himself. "Where is Edea?"
"As of now, we aren't sure. We are still searching for her." Laguna answered.
"Who did it?"
"An Esthar resistance group called neo-Esthar. They have taken Doctor Odine as well." Laguna said with a sigh.
Squall looked down. "What's going on?" He thought. Squall had never heard of any resistance in Esthar. Could Laguna be lying to him?
"Where are they based?" Squall asked after a moment of silence.
"As I said, we don't know yet," Laguna said. "Esthar Garden has people looking for them as we speak."
"Well....we could assist in the search."
"Good idea," Laguna said.
"I will contact Esthar Garden and find out what they know." Squall said standing up from his seat.
"Alright, we will do what we can to help." Laguna replied.
"...Thank you," Squall said reluctantly.
"Thank you Squall, good-bye," Laguna said.
"...Good-bye," Squall said quietly.
Squall hanged up the phone and stood in thought. "What the hell does this anti-Esthar group want with Edea and Doctor Odine? What exactly do they plan to achieve?" Squall thought. Squall sat down again and sank down in his chair.
The others were still at the second floor balcony awaiting Squall. Selphie still remained attached to Irvine's arm. Zell sat on the floor gazing out into the air. Quistis looked at the view of the forest and mountains. And, Rinoa sat on the ledge.
"Wonder what's taking our Commander so long?" Irvine asked.
"Irvy, why do ya call him that all the time?" Selphie asked.
"Well that's what he is isn't he?" Irvine replied. "Sides, I like to give him a hard time."
"He does have a lot of phone calls to make. There goes his vacation I guess." Quistis said with a slight smile.
"Hey Zell, what's up with you?" Selphie asked. "This is totally outta character for you."
"I'm just thinking," he said, not moving his eyes away from the sky.
Zell got up and walked away quietly. He had calmed down but was still furious. He just didn't let it show. Rinoa got off the ledge.
"I'm gonna go see him, ok?" Rinoa said stepping away from the ledge.
Rinoa walked off and into the Garden. Her mind only on Squall. Obviously, she was worried about him. He has been working non-stop for a year. She just wanted him for a while. All to herself.
Squall sat there. He was about to call Esthar Garden. By now a headmaster would've been appointed. Squall picked up the phone and there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Squall asked annoyed. Rinoa peeked in the door.
"Squall, can I come in?" She asked.
"Uh...sure, what is it babe? What do you need?" Squall said hanging up the phone and sitting up.
"You," She simply said walking over to his desk.
"Rinoa, I'm very busy," Squall said picking up the phone again.
"All you do is work, honey. I know this is a bad situation we are in, but just relax a bit. you're too high strung" She said arriving at his desk.
"Rinoa, I..." Squall started. Rinoa leaned over his desk and kissed him on the lips.
"You need to relax for a while...," She said caressing his hair. "Just take a break."
"Rinoa you know I can't, I have things to do, people to call. Plus I need to find Edea." Squall said looking into her eyes, Rinoa hanged up the phone.
"I'm worried about her too, Squall...it's just that I…want some time alone with you, that's all. " Rinoa said.
".......Rinoa, I........" Squall started.
"Shh," Rinoa interrupted.
Rinoa leaned closer to Squall. She was now on the desk and kissed Squall softly. Squall now accepted her and pulled her close. She positioned herself on his lap. The two were completely absorbed in each other. So absorbed, that they didn't notice the phone ring. Finally the answering machine got it. It was Laguna again.
"Squall, I just received word from the Esthar Garden Headmaster. He has important information for you, I would advise you call as soon as you receive this message." He said. The call ended and they stopped kissing.
"Don't call yet," Rinoa said hugging him close.
"I gotta," Squall said in reply.
She got off his lap. "Tonight, just you and me, no interruptions," she said.
"Sure thing," Squall said kissing her and watching her walk away.
"Remember,....tonight," she said again.
"Tonight," Squall said, "Love you."
"Love you too," Rinoa winked and walked out of his office.
Squall picked up the phone and called Esthar Garden. It rang and someone on the other end answered.
End of Chapter 3
(I know, kinda a dull chapter. Not much action. I needed a chapter to liven up the story a bit. Rinoa's not selfish, she just misses him and wants to spend time alone. Hoped you liked this chapter.)
