DISCLAIMER: I do not own Final Fantasy IX, any of the characters from that game or Sir Elton John's song COLD. I do, however love all three and felt the need to use them in this story that I am making no money from. It is strictly for my own amusement and the amusement of others via fanfiction.net.
I do own this story however. Do not copy or plagiarize my work or re-post it without my permission.
But I don't care
I came back for you
I don't care
I came back for you
Love is cruel
But I don't care
I wanted you
And I'm cold
Cold
Cold
Zidane answered the knock on his door to see Dagger standing on his stoop dressed in the white shirt and orange jumpsuit she'd worn while they were traveling. She held her Tiger Racket in her right hand and had a very determined look on her face.
"Dagger?"
"Are you going to let me in, or just stand there and stare?" She flashed him a bright smile around her bruises and split lips.
"Huh? Oh, right." He backed up quickly and let her in. "What's going on?"
"Well," she set her racket on the floor near her favorite chair, "I'm going to spend the night here. Then, in the morning, you and I are going to make a state visit to Burmecia. We're going to stay long enough for Freya to have the babies, me to get a divorce and for the alliance between Alexandria and Lindblum to completely dissolve."
Zidane was speechless for a moment. "You mean it?"
"Yep."
"Can I ask what made you decide all this?"
"I realized that I was being an idiot." Dagger moved closer to him and put her arms around his neck. "I promise, I'll explain everything on the way. But right now, I need you."
Zidane didn't waste any time. He swept her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. He faltered a bit as he set her down, but she smiled at him.
"Relax, Zidane. I came back for you. I love you--and that's what matters."
"God, Dagger, I never thought I'd hear you say that again." He ran his fingers through her hair. "I love you, too."
A/N: OK, I know that was a bit of a crappy ending, but I decided to break this up into two stories and drop the rating on this one. sorry, tho, you'll all have to wait a while for the sequel. I'm going to finish up at least one other fic before I start the next part of this one. I just have too many going right now. glad you've stuck with me this far tho. I'll see you all again soon here.
