Disclaimer: I don't own the game, a part of it, or the characters ( except
a few I made up). I wish I did though.
This is a story that tells the difficulties a relationship must face and how to trust and have faith in ones relationship.
The Beginning of Everything :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Zell was walking down the hallway towards the dorms in his usual cheery mood.
He arrives in front of Squall's room quickly going over what he was going to say
in his mind to avoid Squalls bad side. It was 8:00 am.
" Yo! Squall! You awake man?" he asks while opening the door without
knocking. Apparently his plan to not get Squall angry didn't work.
" Ever heard of knocking?" he replied bitterly. " What do you want?" Zell caught
him with his shirt off and was looking through his closet for another one.
"Umm. Sorry. I just wanted to know if you were going anywhere cause my and
Irvine was juss goin' to Deling ya know. And I'm just saying that you're invited"
" I have plans." Was all Squall said.
" Ooooo. I bet you're going on a date with Rinoa aren't cha?" Zell teased.
"......" After going out with her for 3 months, he was still not comfortable with
discussing his relationship in public.
" Okay, okay. I get the point. You don't want to tell me so I'll just excuse myself"
Zell left quietly out of Squall's room. Squall continued to change and put on a navy blue
shirt and his usual leather pants.
(Why couldn't just say it? What ever, I'm supposed to meet Rinoa by the front
gate. I don't want to keep her waiting. I can't wait to see her again.)
He got out and locked his door. He saw Rinoa leaning at the railing by the gate.
(She looks amazing). She did. She wore a light blue tank top and a skirt that went just
above her ankle which had a slit at the side the went up to her knees. Without knowing it,
Squall's cheeks turned red by looking at her.
" So, what took you so long?" Rinoa asked with her sweet voice.
" It's Zell. He came through my door while I was changing and asked me stupid
questions."
" I wish I could've seen that too!" Rinoa loved to tease Squall.
" Oh yeah......." he bent towards Rinoa and gave her a kiss. He was a lot loose when
it comes with Rinoa, and he liked it.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It was a normal day for Zack. He had just finished up his breakfast and was going
to the bakery shop that his late father handed down to him.
" Ma! I'm going now! I'll be back by 10:00 pm. After I close at 6 I might catch a
movie, so don't wait up for me!" shouted out Zack while he hurried out the door. He left his house in Balamb and headed towards the train station to Deling.
He got his ticket and boarded the train. He's always loved trains so he didn't
bother getting a seat but just stayed by the hallway looking past the plains outside. From
the glass, he could see his reflection. What he saw was a 20 year old man. He had brown,
short, spiky hair. Green eyes and just by his left eye, a little beneath his temple, was a
birthmark that rather looked like Griever.
He thought to himself.( When will I get a real job, a real girlfriend, my own place,
and a real life? I can't keep living off my mother. I gotta get life ass together and start
finding a new place, a new goal in life.)
His thoughts were interrupted when a couple bumped him.
" Oh. Sorry. Please excuse me." Said a girl wearing a light blue tank top. " Squall,
apologize!"
" I'm okay, that's not really necessary" Zack replied in a hurry.( She's beautiful.)
" We're sorry......." Squall said in a monotone voice. " Let's get
going Rinoa, I
reserved a seat for us. We'll be using a SEED car"
" Oooo, I just love those!" Rinoa turns to the man she bumped and said, " okay
then, again I apologize." They left Zack and walked away while Rinoa was clutching
Squall's arm.
(She was beautiful. Rinoa was her name wasn't it? Too bad she's taken. Man, who
was that guy that was with her? Clearly, with his looks that he could easily get any girl
that he wanted-Squall? In SEED?! Isn't that the top ranking SEED, the commander!
Wow, I wish I had a job like that. He's probably rich. I just hope I get to see HER
again........)
The train came to a stop without him realizing it. He got off and headed to shop.
He entered his bakery and was greeted by an upset tone of voice.
" Sir, I have some bad news........." it was the voice of Zack's assistant.
" I just got here and there's bad news already! Wow, whatta way to start your
day." Zack was disappointed.
" I'm terribly sorry but I just checked our inventory, and, well......"
" Just say it. We're a gil away from being bankrupt, aren't we"
" Not quite. We have a few thousand left then we're done for. The thieves aren't
helping as well." He said hesitantly, " and pretty soon sir, uh, you won't be able to afford
to pay me."
" oh Erik! You just had to say that didn't you. Here I was, planning to finally
move out, then I am faced with the sick reality! I just hate my life!"
Erik looked at his statistics paper for a moment, then thought for a while, while
Zack was unloading his jacket and putting on his dusty uniform. " uh, sir. There maybe a
way to get back on track........."
Zack responded right away, hoping for a break, a miracle to save him from his
hell, " Great! What is it?"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"* Giggle* , can you believe that old man almost killed you just because you said
hi to his grand daughter? That was nice of you though, to help her out. Kind of like the
time when you helped me the second time we met. You were so quiet
then......" Rinoa was still holding on tightly onto Squall's arms.
" Yeah......." Squall was thinking for a while but was interrupted by a
sudden growl in his stomach. " That's so embarrassing!"
" No it's not! I think it's kinda cute. I'm hungry too, we haven't had any breakfast
yet! I feel like having some fresh bread." Suggested Rinoa.
" That's a great idea."
Just then, they walked and noticed 'ZACK'S BAKERY'. They went in and were
greeted by Erik.
" Good morning." Erik said them then turned to the locker room and said, " Sir,
we have our first customer!"
A shout came from the locker room, " Alright, alright. I'll be there in a minute!"
" So, what will you be having-" Erik was about to give them the menu when
Zack came in.
(Hey, It's him!!) Rinoa thought. " Hey, Squall, say something!!" Rinoa nudged
Squall's side.
".........." He didn't say anything.
Zack walked up to Rinoa and shook her hand. Squall looked like he almost
jumped him for touching her. Zack led the two to their seats.
" Umm, we met at the train. I recognized who you guys were when I heard your
name and I thought you could help me with something." Zack was now talking to Squall.
" With what?!" Squall said coldly. He was still bitter at him because of the
physical contact between him and Rinoa.
" Squall!! Be nice!!" Rinoa recognized his tone of voice.
" That's okay. I just really need help with my bakery. You see........
I'm almost bankrupt."
" Omigosh! That's horrible!" Rinoa put her hands on her lips.
" So, what do you want us to do?" Squall asked.
Zack told them about his plan over breakfast when Squall finally said, " fine, I'll
talk to Cid about it. We'll see what we can do. But you know, you're going to have to pay
us."
" Don't worry about that." With that, Squall and Rinoa ended their breakfast and
also their conversation.
" Well that was pleasant." Rinoa was looking back to ZACK'S BAKERY while
they were walking away. (Zack was pleasant enough.)
" Not really. We've already wasted enough time."
They enjoyed the rest of their day and returned to the garden by 5:00 pm. Like
Squall promised, they headed straight to Cid's office but was greeted by an unexpected
person.
" Oh, hi guys," the blonde haired girl said kind of disappointedly.
" Hi Quisty," Rinoa replied defensively. Rinoa and Quistis was never really on
good terms with each other because of Squall. But they never showed it.
" ........" Squall simply looked away. When Quistis noticed, she was even more disappointed.
" Well, I need to go....... Dr. Kadowaki needs me......"
Quistis, quietly walked away.
When she left, Rinoa and Squall didn't say anything to each other. They walked
towards the elevator and quickly arrived to Cid's office. They told everything about Zack
and his problem.
" Well, we haven't received any missions lately because of the peace and we
don't really need the money. I think I'll let Rinoa handle this on her own. This can be her
first mission ever since becoming a SEED a week ago."
" But sir!" Squall quickly complained.
" I'll be alright Squall," Rinao assured. (Looks like I get to see him
again......) "This should be easy. Besides, the Bakery needs a woman's touch."
" But-" Squall tried to say something but it was over.
