Chapter 2- The heroes will rise
By calikitten calikitten- Hey everyone! REVIEW!!! Alright so I'm getting desperate, but hey...who isn't? (The same thing about the disclaimer today...:P) ***
Quistis was no dumb blonde. She knew exactly what this meeting was for.
She had heard all the reports on the news.
"Well, any new business?" The Estharian president asked, a little sheepish.
Silence fell.
"What are we going to do about this problem coming up?" Someone asked.
"Which one?"
"The one of us gangs being revealed."
"Our sources have been stopping the flow of news to the media." General Caraway looked stoic, yet cold and heartless.
"Don't worry, our security will be deleting any names mentioned, so you do not have to worry over the safety of your families." The president added.
"Is that all?"
Silence being the only reply, the meeting was adjourned. ***
Maeghan pulled her cousin to meet this girl.
**I haven't seen her in so long!** she thought to herself.
"Maeghan, what?"
"Squall, I want you to meet Rinoa..."
"That's great."
"Squall!" He walked out of the room.
Maeghan fumed.
"Rinoa?"
"Ya..."
"Come with me...I want you to meet my cousin!" ***
Selphie hated the formal gatherings she was forced to go to.
"What's wrong?" she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Seif?"
"Ya?"
"I think I'm lost."
Seifer smirked as he led his sister back to the main hall. ***
"Where'd everyone go?" Zell thought...he saw Irvine flirting with some girls.
**Typical of him to bail out on me** he thought to himself.
He was interrupted by a loud growl.
**Better get something to eat...I hear this place serves great hot dogs! ** Zell smiled as he waltzed to the refreshment area. ***
Maeghan had given up on finding her cousin...but she had a greater problem, she had lost Rinoa.
"Barkeep? Hit me!"
"You're under age kid!"
"I have ID!"
"Look I'm busy!"
"Doing what..."
"There's this really idiotic couple on the dance floor, they're pretty interesting."
Maeghan looked and found to her horror, her cousin dancing. ***
Rinoa had wandered off to find Maeghan's cousin.
"Hey...you."
"I have a name you know."
"Which I don't know."
"Which I don't plan to tell you." **Nosy girl, she'll get herself in trouble**
"Then what's the point?" **Idiotic guy, what crawled up his ass and died?**
"Of annoying you?"**DUH!**
Rinoa pouted...and then she got a crazy idea. **Revenge**
"Do you want to dance?"
Squall stopped in shock.
"What did you say?"
"I asked if you want to dance?"
"I don't dance." **What the?**
"Why...do you have a girlfriend?" **SHIT! What was I thinking?**
"NO!!" **MAN! My chances with her are ruined!**
"Oh...so you must dance with only the people you like," She waved her hand in front of his face.
**What the? I like you, I can tell already...STOP THINKING THAT!* Squall thought.
"I hypnotize you to like me...You're going to like me, you're going to fall head over heals in love with me." **This is pathetic** Rinoa thought
"Look I'll dance with you alright?" **You're pathetic, geez you could've said something more suave** Squall thought
Rinoa grinned.
She pulled him out to the dance floor.
"I like this song!" She smiled as they started to waltz.
**I like this girl ** Squall thought, smiling.
** He's hot when he smiles **
Although they succeeded to bump into many couples, Maeghan had created a shield that would repel them from bumping into anyone.
**That song's over now...too bad.** Rinoa and Squall thought at the same time.
Fireworks went off over head, and Squall gave Rinoa a peck on the cheek. ***
"Selphie!" Maeghan shouted to her friend and pointed out the couple.
"Aww!" Selphie gushed.
"That's disgusting."
"I think it's kind of cute!" Quistis smirked at a gaping Seifer.
"TRAITOR!" He muttered at her, and walked off.
"We have to get them together..." Maeghan mumbled.
"They're a good couple..."
"They look so cute together..."
That was when Maeghan felt someone tap her shoulder.
"Excuse me miss...would you like to dance?"
Maeghan turned and saw the same creepy guy who had insisted on sitting beside her earlier.
**Squall? Creepy guy...wants me to dance...HELP!**
"Is something wrong?"
"Maeghan's calling me." Squall said, and ran into the crowd, Rinoa in tow. ***
"I'm sorry I really don't dance."
"I asked you to dance bitch..." the guy started to look mad and grabbed her sleeve tugging it.
"Leave me alone!" She snapped, pulling away.
"I don't want to."
"The lady asked you to leave her alone...you should listen." Another man joined into the squabble.
"Bug off punk."
"I don't think so, you have one more chance sir."
"She's mine..."
Maeghan took this opportunity to slap the guy.
"Bitch!"
"You really shouldn't say things like that..."The man punched the guy out, Squall suddenly appeared with Rinoa, Irvine had also come and Selphie and Quistis, fully armed were there.
"He's out..."
Seifer took this opportunity to appear.
"Fujin, Rajin, take him out back."
"Ya...ya know?"
"Affirmative!"
Squall smirked as he followed Seifer out.
**Play time ** he thought to himself. ***
The rest of the evening was peaceful. Maeghan found out that the boy's name was Remus.
"I'm sure I'll see you more often..."
"Yes..." That was the time when Laguna decided to step in.
"Maeghan!"
"Father...please excuse us..."She motioned to Remus.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright..."
"Yes, tired...but alright!"
"Good, I heard there was a slight brawl."
"Don't ask please..."
"Fine. You know you are still like a daughter to me."
"Except I'm adopted."
"Yes...but that is not concern...enjoy yourself."
"Father?"
"Yes...?"
"Can I leave now? I'm really tired."
"I'll call a limo."
Maeghan smiled gratefully. ***
Squall grinned when he realized he could escape the formal event.
"You're good."
"With practice."
"Ya...too bad you're the favourite."
"Why?"
"I could use the spot much better."
"Ha ha ha..." she rolled her eyes, but then she saw something weird.
"Is that Rinoa?" Maeghan pointed to the girl who had just steeped out, followed by another man.
"What's happening."
"Stop the limo!" Maeghan commanded.
The limo stopped as the scene unfolded.
