Disclaimer:  I don't own "Mad World" either…

Notes: I will underline the relevant lyrics. It'll hopefully stay. I looked @ a couple of my chapters, and realized that things I underlined, and stuff didn't transfer right.

Chapter 32: Why?

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

      Squall looked at Oceania's wet eyes in disbelief. He knew she wanted to die, but he really didn't think she was that desperate. The years without him, the years of murdering, the years of scorn, hate, betrayal, and other countless crimes against her, and caused by her had had their toll on her. Her eyes seemed glazed, and distant, not the eyes he had seen when the reunited on the seashore before. Now they sat on a different part of the shore in silence, and grief. Live had dealt them cruel hands, and they had no choice but to deal with it their own ways.

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

     Squall looked into her eyes, and held her close. The old part of him seemed to be reviving. He breathed in her hair, and promised. He hated to see her in pain despite what she had done. He still loved her. That was why he wanted her before; that is why he wanted her now. They had both gone through hell, and back, and met up again. But what would be the consequences this time? He remembered she said that she was a virgin (he was dead by the time she died, and didn't know she had). But she hasn't died…

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Squall: You said it would have been your first time if we did it the other day, but you bore my child in a previous incarnation of mine. And you haven't died to my knowledge. Which is it?

Oceania: That's simple. After the curse was laid on me I was sent to Hades. He killed me, being as he is immortal, and got a new ass hole ripped out for it. He gave me new body, and sent me on my way, memories, and everything. I'm the only one in my family to be reincarnated in a way. Since then my sisters realized that I could have my powers taken away by Death, and they want me dead now. So technically, I am a virgin.

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

     Dewn sat on the couch of Gen. Caraway's den, thinking about life being a pointless hell. She's lived too long to be naïve, and she knew it. Ellone went to her, and hugged her. They went out, and played ball again. Zell, and Quistis came out with a large box, and gave it to Dewn. She opened in untrustingly until Ellone nudged her. Inside was an orange tabby that had blue face paint on to match Zell. Zell posed as Dewn compared the two, and grinned stupidly. The three girls looked at him, and laughed. Dewn didn't remember the last time she had laughed, but it felt good. Ellone thought maybe there was hope for her to turn good yet.

     Selphie had had Dewn fix her leg, and now she, and Irvine wrestled on a couch over the television remote. Soon groping was involved, and one thing led to another…

       Squall rose to his feet, and Oceania did like wise. They had been holding onto each other for hours, seemingly that if one should let go that they'd be torn apart again. She dressed, and dusted herself off a bit, and then it happened…
