Black: **taps microphone** This thing on? Yeah? Alright, what's up everybody?!
David: Shut up Black and write.
Black: God, you're a grouch.
David: Bite me.
Black: Roar...
David: Feh...
Lauren: Would you just write Black!?
Black: Fine! But first, a word from our sponsors-
David: JUST THANK THE GOD DAMN READERS!
Black: ... What's wrong Davy boy? Woke on the wrong side of Lauren this morning?
Lauren: You are so dead! **runs towards Black ready to pounce**
Black: Uh uh... need to thank the reviewers first.
BerlinBrownEyes: Love the song very, very much. Reminds me of someone very special to me. Anyways, I am very upset that Rinoa was taken away, but all is forgiven! And BTW, never underestimate the power of stand up comedy... trust me. As for Miss Kink Kink and chicken wuss... they're chemistry will go down infamously as the weirdest pair in the world... but as time changes... so do relationships. Play the evil dramatic music! **Lauren turns on a tape player playing a dramatic evil music** And... As for Seifer and Quistis... **malicious grin** Cute couple... I guess... MWAHAHAHA!
Yori Kiri: I can be funny when I need to be. I don't recall the leadership thingy either... but you didn't hear them talk much did ya? So, if in the game... they would have. **shrugs** Just thought as a good one. As for agreeing with Quistis... I can't comment, for I am a boy! ^^ And yes, I knew that little cut scene would be nice. And I didn't think of Zell and a hot dog... but... oh eww gross... and maybe I think Seifer is an idiot... he's arrogant enough.
Meteor9: Sorry bout the commander thingy, you were right... but I hadn't gotten that far just yet... I'm on cd 3 now... so I'll fix that. As for anything, you are my number one fixer for this fic!
PasifiKStaR: Wooo! Spelt it right! Anyways, doesn't matter how long it takes til' ya review, just as long as you do. I see you and Yori both liked the transition between the two... I did to. And as for Seifer... he's in a bunch of-
Lauren: BLACK! No profane words til' the fic!
Black: Bloody bleepers...
RayTheThief: Tell the truth; the thought that you were a boy never crossed my mind. I guess... it's romantic. And I won't quit any time soon... but I do hope it will end. **sigh**
Black: As always, the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Black Demon does not own Final Fantasy VIII... he does own the game though, if some freak cared for some reason...
And that's it... time for the fic!
Controversies and a wedding
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So... today's the big day... you're sons marrying my daughter." General Caraway extended his hand and shook the other's.
"Yes, but if it wasn't for your daughter, I would not be here." Laguna grinned. "She begged Squall to invite me."
"Listen... I'm not too happy with her being pregnant and all... but he better watch over her..." Caraway was cut off by Laguna.
"General, I have full confidence in my son." Laguna answered. "I just hope he'll be there when the time comes..."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing..."
**
"Soooo... nervous?" Zell asked tying his bow tie that Quistis had given him.
"Whatever..."
"I'm here for ya, ya know."
"Whatever..."
"Ya just gonna say whatever the whole time?"
"Whatever..."
"Squall, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?"
"Whatever..."
"Jeez... Rinoa's gonna kill you if you say that."
"Whatever..."
"Well, I'm done..." Zell motioned to the door and twisted the handle.
"Zell?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks... for everything."
"You're welcome." Zell smiled as he walked out the door. Squall went back to his thoughts of when he met General Caraway at the train station with Rinoa.
*~*~*Flashback*~*~* (A/N: I'm having a flashback... flashback... David! What're you doing in my flashback!? David: Um...)
"I wonder if he's okay with this..." Rinoa sighed and held Squall's arm tightly as they stood at Balamb's train station.
"I'm sure he will..." Was Squall's reply.
"You really don't know my father Squall." Rinoa said as the train pulled up. General Caraway walked out unhappy with a servant behind him carrying his luggage. He walked quite fast towards the couple. Squall extended his arm when he was in reach of Caraway, but he did not return it. Instead he looked dead straight into Squall's eye... it was even more piercing then Squall's usual glare.
"Sir." Squall greeted.
"I know you from some where... you were the leader of the SeeDs I hired for the death of the sorceress weren't you!?" Squall nodded in response.
"Well... you've grown..." He turned to his daughter. "Rinoa are you sure..."
"Never loved anyone like him." She said with a smile. Squall felt in some ways a form of pride, but he tried best to suppress from showing it.
"I see... I still would like to talk to him though..." With that they left for Squall's car and drove off to the Ragnarock After 30 minutes of Carway's careful inspection and admiration of the space ship, he gave another 5 minutes disciplining his daughter for flying in such a reckless vehicle leading to Rinoa pleading for this to be a peaceful visit...
*~*~*End of flashback*~*~* (Black: That was a good flashback.... Lauren: Black... are you sure you're not at the bottom of the evolution chain?)
Squall sighed and finished suiting himself up... at least he wasn't having as much trouble as Rinoa was.
**
"Rinoa... would you please stop crying?!" Selphie pleaded towards her friend. Rinoa had been sobbing a crying for the past 30 minutes and gave no sign off trying to stop.
"Why... are... you... crying?" Quistis panted out, Selphie had run for her as soon as she saw Rinoa crying. Running in a dress wasn't as easy as anyone thought. (A/N: As for that... I really don't know if that's true... God I love being a guy...)
"I just... I'm not sure... if I'm..." Rinoa hiccupped. She began crying hard again.
"Ready?" Quistis cut her off. She regained her breath and could speak well without taking moments of time for a breath. Rinoa nodded.
"That and I also wish... my mother..." Rinoa trailed off. Selphie turned to a portrait hanging in the bride's dressing room. "...was here..."
"I see... well, as Ellone would put it... we can see the past... but we can't change it." Quistis replied. Rinoa stood up and hugged her blond friend closely. And with that she went to style her hair.
"Ya know... you're not much of a dumb blond." Quistis frowned. "You're too smart..."
"I resent that and you better take it back Selphie." Selphie grinned.
"Nope." She then ran to find Irvine.
**
'My Hyne... she's beautiful...' Squall thought to himself as General Caraway held her arm in arm walking down the aisle. Rinoa's hair was wrapped in a bun at the back with a few strands of hair showing on the right side of her face. She was truly beautiful. When Caraway reached him with his daughter, he breathed four words.
"Don't break her heart."
**
"Squall Leonhart Loire; do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?" Squall looked to Rinoa with a warm smile.
"I do."
"Rinoa Heartilly; do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?" Rinoa looked towards Squall and grinned.
"I do."
"May you please present your rings..." Squall looked to Zell, whom was now picking them off of Angelo's pillow that was strapped to her. He gave the rings to the both of them. Squall took Rinoa's hand and slid it through her finger. Then Rinoa followed.
"By the power invested in me... you are now man and wife." The priest said with a smile. "You may no kiss the bride."
'Gladly...' Squall thought. He pulled Rinoa into a kiss and then they both walked down aisle to an awaiting limousine and drove away.
**
"So... we did it." Rinoa sighed with relief.
"Yes, yes we did." Squall kissed her on the cheek.
"Ya hear that buddy?" Rinoa looked at her stomach as Squall smirked. "I'm married!"
"So... how much longer until we can find out?" Squall asked a bit uneasily.
"Find out?!"
"Yeah, if it'll be a boy or a girl."
"We are most certainly not, I repeat, not finding out!"
"Okay, okay... Hyne..."
"I hope it's a girl though." Rinoa chirped happily with a grin.
"I don't, if she'll act like you twenty four seven." Squall muttered under his breath.
"If you keep on making comments like that mister, no cream filling for you later." (A/N: Don't ask about the cream filling... if you don't know what it means... you're sad.) Squall sat quietly after that.
**
"It actually happened."
"You'd think they would have but..."
"Yeah... they still did it."
"Weird."
"Oy, Irvine!" Zell yelled. "How could you let Selphie bow and kiss you on the hand!?"
"I don't know man... she just wanted to..." Irvine tipped his hat downwards to hide his face.
"You're a disgrace."
"Whatever."
"Oh, don't go actin' like Squall on me..."
"Someone call me?" Zell turned around and stared at a man's piercing blue eyes.
"Uh... uh... hi... Squall." Zell stuttered. He quickly ran off.
"Hey, Squall?" Irvine inquired. "Is it okay for the girl to bend and kiss your hand?" Squall only rolled his eyes and walked over to his bride. "Thanks for the help buddy!"
"IRVY!"
"Gah!" And with that... that is how Irvine got that big bump in his head. From falling off a chair.
**
"Hey." Squall said quietly as he wrapped his arms around Rinoa.
"Hey yourself buddy." Rinoa answered grinning at two things, one: It's always nice to be in the arms of a darling man, two: her father was getting pretty pissed. Music started playing and Rinoa listened intently to it. This was it... her song, well not really her song, more like her mothers, but... it was her wedding song. Squall had taken notice of Rinoa's trance and pulled her off to the dancing platform. There, he put his left hand on her hip, and his right hand in her left. They danced to the song elegantly as many clapped, cheered, and some whistled. At one point, one person asked loudly 'When's the wedding?!' only to get slapped in the head and laughed at. When the song ended, Squall and Rinoa sat at the head of the table.
Zell stood up.
"It has come to my attention... that theseeeee two lovely people, have decided to get married." Zell started out. Some people chuckled. "Well good for them, now, you see here a little piece of paper, well... it isn't my toast... it's some kids drawing."
"Actually, it's mine." Selphie piped. Some people laughed.
"Right, anyways, where could I find a better couple?" Zell asked. "Rinoa... I want to thank you for something."
"Alright, what?"
"Getting Squall not to act like a freakin' drone anymore." Zell chuckled. "Go do this, go do that!" Zell started mimicking a robot which most people pointed and laughed at. Squall was silent. "Basically, if it were not for you my dear, we'd be screwed." Everyone clapped.
"Squall, my friend, things have changed."
"Yes, yes they have."
"But one questions still in my mind."
"Alright, what is it?"
"Where's the freakin' honeymoon!?" Everyone clapped in agreement.
"Well, we decided..." Squall trailed off as suddenly there was a loud explosion. Squall focused his eyes at the door. There, standing... was a man with an arrogant smirk.
"They decided they're gonna have to postpone it."
"Seifer..." Squall growled.
"So you do remember me Captain Puberty?" Seifer smirked. "That's awfully kind of you... anyways, I forgot my present so sorry."
"You're not welcomed here!" Squall ordered. He then remembered something. 'Damn, I left my Gunblade at the Garden!'
"Looking at your eyes, I'm sure you just noticed... you have no weapon." Seifer only grinned. "And... you don't use GFs anymore, and I hardly think you have any more magic." Squall gritted his teeth. "I guess this'll be easier then I thought."
"I still have my fists!" Zell exclaimed angrily.
"Won't do you good..." Seifer trailed off, his eyes narrowed. He threw his hand upwards. "Get her." That one second after, Squall saw what appeared to be shadow-like creatures on the wall run towards him. His first thought was to get Rinoa to safety but when he turned around, she wasn't there.
"SQUALL!" He looked in the direction of the scream and his eyes opened wide. A white blur, mixed with black was running against the walls and out of the "new" door way.
"Heh... easy as cake." Seifer smirked arrogantly. "See you later captain pubes." With that Seifer left.
Squall fell to the floor.
"Squall!?" Zell yelled. "C'mon we gotta go after him!"
"Zell!" Quistis snapped. "Did you see how fast those guys were going, pretty fast right?" Zell nodded. "Then how the hell will we be able to catch them!?"
"Oh... I uh... didn't think of that part." Zell looked at his friend with sympathy. "I'm sorry, man." Irvine stood at the door and looked outside seeing the black blurs followed by a smaller ship. They were miles and miles away. Squall stayed on his knees, saying the same words after every breath.
"I failed... I failed my duty as Sorceress' Knight."
