***************************************************************

I laid down on my bed with my head buried in my pillow. I was mad with myself. I laid on my stomach so that my back was facing the ceiling. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I felt to guilty to talk to anyone. Celia's been knocking on my door for the longest time now. I wanted to yell out GO AWAY! But I couldn't even lift my head off the pillow. I sighed of the thought that I will have to leave the room sometime.
I then heard a 'jingle'. The 'jingle' got louder and louder as if something or someone was getting closer. I sat up on my bed finally able to leave my position. I looked around the room curious. Where was that sound coming from? My question was soon answered when Zidane jumped out of the window on the side of my bed and tumbled onto the floor.
" AH!," I screamed grabbing onto my pillow. But then I suddenly loosened my grip on my pillow when I noticed it was Zidane.
" Ugh...," Zidane moaned sitting up properly and rubbing his head.
" Zidane!," I called happy it was him. I jumped off my bed and threw myself towards Zidane and hugged him sending him back to the ground where he came from. Zidane's face flushed red. My face flushed red soon after. I quickly withdrew noticing what I was doing. I couldn't help but to give out a slight laugh. Zidane then started to laugh too.
I stood back up and held out my hand to help him up with a smile plastered on my face.
" I would like to grab your hand and all but I don't think you would like to grab mines," he said showing me his hands which had fresh blisters all over them.
" What happened?," I asked bending beside him.
" It's just a little cut," Zidane said not making a big deal out of it.
" Little? Hold on," I said reaching over for my bed sheet and ripping a big piece of material off it. I then ripped the material into two equal pieces. " Hold out your hands," I commanded.
I then wrapped the piece of material around Zidane's palm carefully but yet firmly. After I was done with one hand I did Zidane's other hand.
" There!," I said cheerfully. Zidane then started to squeeze his hand into a fist trying to get use to this adjustment.
" Thanks!," Zidane said turning towards me. I gave him a nod and stood up. Zidane then stood up and started to dust the backside of his pants.
" So... um... why are you in here anyways?," Zidane asked not so sure if he should have asked.
" Oh...," I mumbled and sat on my bed and stared at my hands as if it was suddenly interesting. " I was just tired."
Zidane looked at me with a slight curious look but looked back at his hands. " Oh," he simply said. " So... you were just tired? So nothing happened between... you and Seth?"
My eyes suddenly opened up. Does he know what happened? " W-What about me and Seth?," I asked still looking at my hands.
" I don't know. I was just asking," Zidane said now looking at me. I then gave out a relieved sigh. Zidane then gave me that curious look.
" So did anything happen while I was gone?," Zidane asked walking closer to me.
" Oh... um.... no, of course not," I answered looking away from Zidane as he continued to stare at me. I then closed my eyes shut afraid he might tell if I'm lying by looking into my eyes.
" All right then. So you gonna leave the room?," Zidane asked with a smile on.
I still didn't want to look at him to guilty to accept his smile. But I simply asked," Why?"
" I was wondering if you can accompany me to the Lifa Tree?," Zidane asked still trying to make eye contact with me.
" Sure," I said taking a small glance at him.
" All right then. Let's go!," Zidane said making his way towards the door. I sat on the bed still thinking about what I just did. I just lied to Zidane.
" You coming?," Zidane asked turning back around to find me still sitting on the bed.
" Oh... right," I quickly got off my bed and followed Zidane to the door Celia continuously was banging on. Zidane then turned the knob to the door and opened it.
" Zidane? How...? When...?," Celia asked thinking to herself that Zidane was just here.
" You guys ready to go?," Zidane asked.
" Yeah but where-," But Celia cut short her sentence when she saw Missy walk out of the room after Zidane with her head still down.
" Why didn't you answer me when I was calling for you?," Celia asked me with a irritated look on her face.
I just stared at her for a while and turned my attention back on Zidane who was walking down the hallway. I still had that picture of Celia grabbing Zidane's hand and walking away with him leaving me with Seth.
Celia stood there shocked that I just turned my back on her. I was so stupid to invite her to come with us after she broke my necklace. If I didn't take her I wouldn't be having these problems. I followed behind Zidane with my head still down. I kept on looking at my feet not noticing Zidane glancing back at me.
" Missy you okay?," Zidane asked me in a low tone so the others pretty far back didn't hear him. I looked up at him and nodded my head and smiled. Zidane then turned back around and continued to walk. I continued to follow Zidane until we were able to climb down the ladder on the side of the airship onto the sandy floor of the dessert.
" Where are we going?," I asked finally speaking up.
" Conde Petie," Zidane answered turning around and looking at me.
" Conde Petie? I've never heard of it," I said confused.
" Really? You'll be surprised on how nice they are. Come on!," Zidane said walking over to the funny looking blob that sat on the vine bridge. Celia, Saul, and Seth followed us as we made are way over to the bridge.
When we finally reached the bridge Zidane, Celia, and Saul walked up onto the bridge. I stared at the bridge afraid that I might fall because of all the slime and I was wearing high-heeled boots. I tried to walk on it but ended up slipping a little.
" Whoa! Careful now," Seth said grabbing onto my shoulders to prevent me from falling over. I then nodded my head. Zidane who was watching everything quickly ran up to me and grabbed my hands. I looked at Zidane surprised.
" Don't look down. Just keep on looking forward," Zidane said. I nodded my head. And I did exactly what Zidane told him and looked forward. I looked forward only to see Zidane staring straight back at me. I held on tight to his hands while he continued to walk backwards and stare back at me. We then finally reached the entrance and let go of each other's hands. Seth then followed closely behind us.
" Thanks!," I thanked Zidane who nodded his head.
" Rally-ho!," A short green midget in these weird looked clothes yelled. I jumped back startled and accidentally bumped into Zidane not noticing the dwarf there by the entrance before. Zidane gave out a slight laugh.
" Rally-ho!," Zidane greeted back with a smile on. " It means hello," Zidane explained to me.
" Oh... Rally-ho!," I cheerfully greeted the Dwarf with a smile on.
" Rally-ho!," Celia greeted.
" Rally-ho!," Seth greeted. The dwarf then let us inside but when Saul tried to walk in another dwarf jumped in front of him and yelled, " Rally-ho!"
" Whose the hole?," Saul asked confused.
" Rally-ho!," the dwarf greeted again.
" You idiot just say Rally-ho," Zidane teased waiting in the inside.
" Rally-ho?," Saul repeated. The dwarfs then jumped back and greeted him in with another rally-ho. Saul walked inside to join Zidane, Missy, Celia and Seth.
" Come on let's go," Zidane said while leading us up a pair of stone stair cases into a small weapon shop where two guards blocked a big gap in the wall leading to the mountain path. Zidane then started to walk pass the guards as they withdrew their weapons for him to pass but as soon as I was going to pass threw, they blocked me off with their spears. I jumped back shocked.
" Ah cannae let ye pass!," the right dwarf guard ordered.
" Why not?," I asked.
" Ye must be hitched ter pass," the left dwarf guard explained. Zidane slapped his hand over his forehead suddenly remembering.
" Hitched? What?," I repeated looking at Zidane to explain.
" He means you have to get hitched in order to pass," Zidane explained.
" Y-Your married?," I asked furious and shocked at the same time.
" Heh. Heh. Kind of," Zidane said scratching the back of his head.
" Ye must hitch wit someone ter join yer fren," the right dwarf guard repeated.
" Too bad. I was really looking forward to seeing the Life Tree, too," Seth said with his hands behind his head and looking up at the ceiling.
I looked back at Seth with a grin on my face and looked back at Zidane who stood there watching me. I walked up to Seth and grabbed his hand. " Seth will you marry me?"
