Author's Note: I was just listening to "This Love" by Maroon 5 and now it's stuck in my head. Forgive me if I'm typing something and the lyrics just suddenly pops out of nowhere. ^^
trapt-tears- ^^ Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you like Squall's poem, too! After reading that one several times, I wanted to re-change it because it didn't really sound like a "rappable" poem anymore, but I'm lazy, so I didn't do it. ~_~ When you talked about the part between discs 2+3, it kept reminding me about all the funny parts in that little self-dialogue. He thinks too much, really. It made me happy to know that you enjoyed the poem a lot. ^^ Thank you so much for your review!
Planetship-Theta- Yeah, I guess that this poem could also be in Rinoa's POV. I went back and re-read it after reading your comment…and wow…I'm surprised I didn't actually see the relationship between her and the poem itself. Except for the fact that I don't think her dad actually abused her mom or anything, but close enough. ^^ Thank you bunches for your review!!!
wonderful-failure- Thank you so much for the compliment! ^^ You know, maybe I will write a poem based on Zell's POV of Quistis. Normally, I support Queifers, but my obsession with that couple isn't that bad. ^_^ "Reflection"…oh yeah. I remember I had fun writing that one, particularly because I feel that out of all the characters in FFVIII, I can describe her feelings the most. Darn. Now I wanna go to a school like Balamb Gardens…maybe when I graduate or something. *sigh* If I graduate. Anyways, thank you for your review again! ^^
Thank you all so much for reviewing! The reviews make me feel all happy and warm inside, and they really make my day a lot better after coming back from the hellhole they call school. (No offense to anyone who likes school…^^) Please keep those reviews coming! And feel free to give me any constructive criticisms!
Disclaimers: I bet Squaresoft cost more than one-hundred 24-karat gold diamond rings all together. And that's A LOT. Hey. That's worth more than me and the amount of food I eat per week. : P
**********
That big idiot...
And he calls himself a man
When in reality he can't do as many
Things than a baby can.
__________
He was dragged into here screaming
Scared little Ellone out of her wits
Yelling, half-crying and getting mud over my floor
Like a child who throws huge fits.
__________
When he was finally able to walk
Hyne, was I glad for that day
Finally he'd leave us alone in peace
And go on about his way.
__________
I couldn't believe it then
What he said he was going to do
I was so mad and angry
I couldn't believe that was true.
__________
Stay in our village?
The tiny, isolated Winhill?
Nothing ever happens over here
Nothing worth a thrill.
__________
Sure, kill some monsters for us
Why don't you go ahead and do that
We'll see how long you'll be able to survive
Until you get killed in combat.
__________
This isn't good.
This isn't good at all.
Ellone's becoming too attached to him…
His personality has her enthralled.
__________
He speaks to her like a little kid
He doesn't have any proper grammar at all
I hate reminding him to speak properly to her
Next time I'll make him talk to a wall.
__________
What's this?
He wants to talk to me?
Why at night in the meadow?
…Maybe I should just agree. (Out of pity)
__________
That big baby
Whose brain is not quite lit
If he talks to me about something dumb
I swear he's going to get it.

AN: Hahahaha!!! I had the most fun time writing this. It came out longer than I actually thought it would be…but with fewer words, of course. I seriously considered calling this poem "The Loser" to describe how Raine thinks of Laguna, but then, I decided to call it "Him". Maybe there'll be a sequel to this, maybe not. I also considered calling this "His and Her Circumstances" after Kare Kano, but I decided against it. I know you all know who this is…Raine!!! Our all-time favorite character…some, anyways. I tried to make her personality sound more different than Julia's, because clearly there's a distinction between the two. I'm also planning to start a fanfiction that includes both Raine and Julia, but knowing that I'm not very dedicated to my multi-chaptered fanfics, maybe I'll get someone else to write it. Of course, they can take the credit for it. ^^ Anyways, at the end, you all recognize the famous ending scene where Laguna (a.k.a. dummy, big baby) asks Raine to marry him. In this poem, I just tried to make Raine sound like she's concealing her feelings for Laguna. It didn't come out too good, but oh well. I need to shut up. I hope you all liked this poem! PLEAZ R/R!!! THANK YOU!!! ^_^
