earth-angel4: Kind of long chapter so it took me a long time to write it.
Zidane: Here it is...
***************************************************************
After a while of walking Zidane stopped causing the rest of us to follow. I stared at Zidane curious on why he stopped.
" Zidane...?," I asked him while he continued to stare up at the sky.
" Do you guys really want to go to the lifa tree?," Zidane asked us with a quite serious face on.
" Isn't that why we came?," Celia asked looking confused.
" Right...," Zidane said now looking at the ground disappointed. ' I wonder if Kuja's still there...,' Zidane thought saddened. I continued to stare at Zidane wondering why he was so disappointed. Zidane then continued to walk and we(Celia, Saul and Missy) then looked at each other confused and just continued to follow Zidane.
After climbing rocks and dirt hills and a lot of bridges we came upon the lifa tree. I looked up at it amazed even though it was still kind of far away because of the roots, it still looked amazing.
" So this is the Lifa tree?," I asked looking at the lifa tree that was kind of far away. Zidane nodded his head and continued to walk to the Lifa tree's roots when he walked into some kind of invisible shield causing him to lose his balance.
" Graaagh!," Zidane yelled swinging his arms around and nearly falling backwards. When he finally was able to stand on two feet again he pounded his fist against the barrier. " DAMN! Eiko probably put the barrier back on."
" So how are we suppose to get inside?," Celia asked.
" We have to find Eiko," Zidane said now leaning his forehead against the barrier.
" Eiko?," I asked.
" Yeah. Cid's and Hilda's kid," Zidane explained now turning around to face me.
" Oh... but doesn't she live in Lindblum," I asked. Zidane simply nodded his head.
" Kupo?," I heard a high voice speak from above me. I quickly looked up into the sky to see a moogle flying down toward us. I moved away from Zidane when the moogle landed gracefully in between Zidane and me.
" Zidane!," the moogle yelled cheerfully. " What are you doing here?"
" I'm here to gather some mist from the lifa tree but--
" Eiko put a barrier up," the moogle finished his sentence.
" Yeah. What are you doing here, Morrison?," Zidane asked.
" It was my turn to watch the Lifa tree today," Morrison explained.
" Do you know where Eiko is?," Zidane asked anxious.
" She's at Madain Sari," Morrison said after taking a glance at the people Zidane was with.
" She is!," Zidane said surprised.
" Kupo, she came down after the attack on Lindblum," Morrison said. " But she's probably in the kitchen cooking."
" Thanks!," Zidane said running back to the Mountain Path. " Come on!," Zidane yelled over to us.
I then started to chase after him with Saul and Celia close behind me. "Where are you going?," I asked.
" Madain Sari!," Zidane yelled back to me not even looking back.

" Tell all the soldiers to take the day off. Those scoundrels couldn't have survived the crash," Garnet ordered Steiner.
" Queen Garnet. May I ask thee a question?," Steiner asked kind of nervous.
" Go ahead," Garnet said slouching inside her chair.
" Um... is there something I should know?," Steiner asked.
" Such as...," Garnet asked getting irritated.
" Um... Beatrix and I and a lot of the towns people think...well...you kind of changed, your highness," Steiner said kind of nervous.
" And?," Garnet asked not caring much of what he was saying.
" And...," Beatrix walked into the room and continued her speech, "... your acting really strange. Your causing wars for no apparent reason and treating everyone like trash."
" How dare you speak to me like that?!!," Garnet said suddenly straightening up.
" I really don't like your new you what happened to the sincere Garnet?," Beatrix said with no hesitation.
' Their such idiots! Garnet can't come back because this is no longer her body,' Garnet thought.
" I can't bring her back," Beatrix and Steiner stared at Garnet confused so she continued, " Alexandria need's a ruler not a coward like the old Garnet."
" The old Garnet wasn't a coward she was sincere and caring and would never cause war," Steiner said suddenly drawing courage.
" I agree with Steiner," Beatrix said shocked that Steiner stood up to her.
" HOW DARE YOU TWO TALK TO ME LIKE THAT," Garnet yelled standing off her chair. " You two are no longer allowed to come in this castle again. You two now are no longer a part of the Pluto's troupe."
" Fine. But just keep this in mind you'll never win any of your wars if you keep this up," Beatrix then threw her sword on the ground in front of Garnet and walked out of the room. Steiner stood there shock he couldn't believe what he just heard. He turned towards the doors that Beatrix left through and back at Garnet. He then suddenly straightened himself up and left the room to look for Beatrix.
*************************************************************
" Wow I've never been to this place for a while," Zidane said walking up to a fountain.
" What happened to this place?," I asked looking at all the broken down buildings and houses.
" Long story," Zidane replied looking back at me. I then walked over to the bench and sat down waiting for the girl Zidane called Eiko.
" Zidane!," I heard a voice call. I then saw a girl with purple hair run out from the side and jump into his arms. Zidane returned the hug and placed her down.
" Wow look at you! You've grown a lot," Zidane said grinning and scratching the back of his head at the same time.
" Zidane why didn't you visit me," the purple haired girl said placing her hands on her hips.
" I'm here aren't I?," Zidane said.
" Yeah. I guess...," she said now looking around at Saul, Celia and me. I smiled and waved. But she just turned back around towards Zidane and whispered something in his ear which I couldn't really hear at all.
" Oh. Their a couple of friends of mine," Zidane explained to her.
" So why did you decide to visit me now?," Eiko asked.
" I'll tell ya later. But right now I'm starving," Zidane said looking at Eiko who smiled.
" I'm almost done with dinner. You wanna help?," Eiko asked.
" I'll help!," Saul volunteered running up to Eiko.
Eiko stared at him for a while but then smiled, " Okay! Let's go to my kitchen," Eiko said grabbing him by his hand and pulling him over to the building that held her kitchen. Saul's face then flushed red but he didn't pull back when she grabbed his hand.
" I'm going with them," Celia said following Saul and Eiko. When they were out of our sight I looked up into the sky to see that the sun was barely out and was soon going to turn night.
" Hey Missy!," Zidane called over to me.
I took my attention off the sky and looked over to Zidane who motioned for me to come. I got off the bench and began to walk towards Zidane. As soon as I caught up with Zidane he placed his hands over my eyes so that I couldn't see anything.
" Zidane what--"
" Keep eyes shut okay?," Zidane asked.
" Okay," I answered.
" Promise?," I heard his voice speak.
" I promise!," I said confident.
He then took his hands off my eyes. I had my eyes shut waiting for him to explain what this was about.
" Okay follow my voice all right," his voice told me and I felt him grab my hands. He then started to pull me forward so I began to walk.
" Zidane what is this all about?," I asked with my eyes still shut and following him as he pulled me.
" You'll see...," he simply said.
I had no idea what he was doing or where he was taking me. But I gave out a smile kind of excited on where he was taking me. I continued to follow him and heard...water. He then stopped causing me to stop too.
" All right you can open your eyes," he said letting go of my hands.
I opened up my eyes slowly. I gasped amazed. We were in a cave or something and I was standing on a dock leading to a small boat (place where Dagger was sitting in the boat). But that wasn't the amazing part. The sun peeked over the mountain causing the sky to turn orange, pink, blue, and yellow. And the colors bounced onto the lake and onto the walls of the cave. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
" You like it?," Zidane asked.
" I love it!," I said walking more to the end of the dock not taking my eyes off the lit up wall. Zidane grinned and followed me over to the end of the dock. But then I frowned. Zidane looked at me worried.
" What's wrong?," Zidane asked.
" Celia really is a nice girl if you count out the time about the necklace I guess. Actually she has a lot of what boys look for in girls. She's nice, smart, and pretty," I explained.
' Why is she bringing up Celia,' Zidane thought.
" You and....Celia actually would make a...cute couple," I said kind of hesitated to say it.
" What?! Now your talking crazy," Zidane said shocked that I even said that.
I looked at Zidane kind of happy he said that but not totally convinced.
" Celia... she's...well...okay I guess but there's no way I'll ever...have any feelings for her," Zidane stated.
" But you should give her a chance--"
" Hell no! Celia's not my type," Zidane said making a disgusted face.
I laughed and faced my back towards Zidane. " But you and Celia really do make a cute couple," I joked just trying to get Zidane irritated.
" Don't tell me your siding with her?," Zidane asked grossed out already.
I smiled and turned back around towards Zidane. " And what if I am?," I asked playfully. I walked closer to Zidane and wrapped my hands around his neck. I then ran my pointer finger down his cheek playfully. Zidane's face then flushed red.
" M-Missy what are you doing?," he asked blushing madly.
" Don't you want to play?," I asked in my most sexiest voice I could find.
Zidane then started to walk backwards as I continued to walk him over to the end of the dock with my hands still behind his neck. I kept on walking him over until he was at the point from practically falling off the dock. That was when I leaned in for a kiss.
Zidane stared at me shock and still blushing menacingly at the same time. ' Is this actually happening to me? Is this for real?,' Zidane thought, ' Well there's only one way to find out.' Zidane closed his eyes and leaned forward and right when our lips were about to touch I pushed him into the water. He fell backwards into the water creating a splash of water to jump up.
His head then popped out of the water moments later. He combed back the strands of hair that was blocking his face and spitted out the water he had in his mouth.
I then started to laugh. " Zidane I thought you knew better then to just go for the kiss. Aren't you the person with all the answers on how to play someone?"
" First time a girl ever played me. I usually play them," he said kind of astonished I did that.
" Well there's a first time for everything," I said with a big smile still laughing about it.
Zidane slowly swam up to the dock. He laid his arms on the dock and had his body afloat in the water. He then looked up at me with a grin on his face.
" When was the last time you went for a swim in the lake?," Zidane asked me.
" Never," I said quickly.
" But isn't there suppose to be a first time for everything?," but before I even understood what he was talking about Zidane jumped out of the water and wrapped his arms around my waist and hauled both of us into the water. I screamed but my scream soon got swallowed away by the water. I then quickly swam back up to the surface. As soon as I reached the surface I spit the water out. Zidane then popped his head out next to me laughing.
" Oh my GOSH it's cold," I said kind of shivering.
" Yeah I know," Zidane answered back.
I then started to swim over to the wooden boat. I grabbed onto the side and started to pull myself up. As soon as I was in Zidane was by the side grinning again. He grabbed onto the side and started to rock it.
" Zidane!," I scolded.
" All right! All right!," he said giving out a disappointed sigh. But then he looked at me with that same grin on again. He grabbed onto the side and started to pull himself on top. The boat then started to rock heavily.
" Zidane WAIT! Your rocking the boat," I said standing up and trying to balance the boat with my weight.
" What I can't hear you? There must be water in my ears," Zidane said rocking the boat even more.
" Zidane STOP! Your going to flip the--," the boat flipped over and I crashed back into the water. As soon as I swam back to the top Zidane was there laughing about it.
" You think that's funny? Well what about this," I splashed Zidane in the face while he was still laughing with his mouth wide opened. And I started to laugh.
Zidane stared at me shocked and spit out the water that entered his mouth. He then smiled and decided to play along.
" I must admit you got me when you pushed me in but there's no way I'm going to let go that easily," he then splashed me back when I was laughing. And as soon as you know it were splashing at each other insanely.
This was probably the most fun I've ever had in my entire life. I owed Zidane a lot. He was always there to cheer me up when I was sad and make me smile when I was mad. He did so much for me and yet I haven't repaid him. Maybe it was time to tell him about my feelings? But that's a big risk to take. What if he didn't feel the same way about me? What if...he just didn't answer me if I was to tell him. But if he did have the same feelings about me wouldn't he tell me? But yet I didn't tell him.
I suddenly stopped splashing when I noticed nothing splashing back at me. Zidane he was gone! Did he drown? Did he just leave? But then I felt a tug at my ankle. I looked down into the water to see Zidane. I quickly took in a deep breath and went down into the water where I was face to face with Zidane. He then pointed up to the flipped over boat and I gave him a nod.
We swam over to the flipped over boat. We popped our heads out of the water to see we were under the flipped over boat. It was kind of amazing because the refection of the water bounced onto the boat.
" I've always wondered how it looked like to be under a boat," I said kind of amazed.
" It looks pretty much the same when your on top of a boat," he said looking around the boat. I rolled my eyes. " I'm just joking!"
" You know you look the exact same when you were a child," I said staring at him.
" So nothing's changed about me?," he asked smiling.
" Your more mature!," I said kind of giggling.
" No way!," he said.
" Well, you sure don't have any problems with girls anymore," I said smiling.
" Girl's are...interesting now that I'm older," he explained.
" Interesting?," I asked raising up one eye brow.
" Yeah. You know...interesting," he repeated again. " Just interesting."
" Is that good?," I asked still confused.
" Yeah. Well in my point of view they are," Zidane said looking around the boat.
" Oh so I'm guessing you've been around girls a lot," I said with a grin on.
" Hell yeah! All the girls back in Lindblum are crazy for me," he said kind of bragging.
" Oh really...," I said kind of slowly.
" So...you got any boys crazy for you?," he asked now making eye contact with me.
" Um...one but I barely even know him," I said shrugging my shoulders.
" Oh...," then there was a slight pause, " So do you have an eye on anyone now?," Zidane asked kind of hesitating.
"....," I kept quiet for bit not knowing what to say. I don't know why I was hesitating on answering him. " I....I....," But I couldn't get any other words out of me. It was as if something was stuck in my throat and I couldn't speak. So I just turned my head down to the water so we couldn't make eye contact with each other.
" Oh...," he said turning away from me saddened. " Sorry I asked..."
I then gathered up all my strength and blurted out, " No it's not like that. Zidane... Zidane I lov----," I got interrupted when the boat flipped back over. I looked up to see what happened. And there on the dock looking at us was Celia. Celia looked down at us with a confused look on.
" Um... what are you guys doing under there?," she asked confused.
***************************************************************
Zidane: AHH! Why is it that every time something good is about to happen Celia's always there to ruin it?!
earth-angel4: It's part of the story.
Zidane: Why can't you just erase it?!
earth-angel4: Because...
Zidane: Because what?
earth-angel4: Because something.
Zidane: Something? What's something?
earth-angel4: I don't want to ruin the ending so you just have to wait till I finish it.
Zidane: Which will be when?
earth-angel: Well, were half way done will the story. But anyways I'll be working on the chapters and update it if I can. Bye!
Zidane: Here it is...

" Do you guys really want to go to the lifa tree?," Zidane asked us with a quite serious face on.

"....," I kept quiet for bit not knowing what to say. I don't know why I was hesitating on answering him. " I....I....," But I couldn't get any other words out of me. It was as if something was stuck in my throat and I couldn't speak. So I just turned my head down to the water so we couldn't make eye contact with each other.
" Oh...," he said turning away from me saddened. " Sorry I asked..."
I then gathered up all my strength and blurted out, " No it's not like that. Zidane... Zidane I lov----," I got interrupted when the boat flipped back over. I looked up to see what happened. And there on the dock looking at us was Celia. Celia looked down at us with a confused look on.
" Um... what are you guys doing under there?," she asked confused.
***************************************************************
Zidane: AHH! Why is it that every time something good is about to happen Celia's always there to ruin it?!
earth-angel4: It's part of the story.
Zidane: Why can't you just erase it?!
earth-angel4: Because...
Zidane: Because what?
earth-angel4: Because something.
Zidane: Something? What's something?
earth-angel4: I don't want to ruin the ending so you just have to wait till I finish it.
Zidane: Which will be when?
earth-angel: Well, were half way done will the story. But anyways I'll be working on the chapters and update it if I can. Bye!
