Disclaimer- I dinnae own Ziddy, he's apart of Final Fantasy 9 which is owned by, err... Playstation? Right?

Okay, this is a one-shot fic, I was writing this the other night after reading other amazing Final Fantasy 9 stories, if you want to know what ones check my Favourite Stories list, anyways I don't know if it's good or not, but if I don't get any or many reviews at all, I'll just delete the story or something, but if it is liked then I will continue.

Okay, since I got quite a few reviews from people saying they liked the plot of this story, I've decided to continue with it, so thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far!

"Your majesty! Your majesty!" Steiner called loudly as he thumped along the long corridors of her palace.

"So, do you understand now?" Garnet questioned happily, "That's why the Black Mages were created."

Eiko nodded slowly, "Yeah, I think I get it now."

Just at that moment, Steiner burst into the room; the doors swinging wide open with the force of Steiner's arms smashing against them, "Your majesty!!"

"Yes, what's the problem Steiner?" Garnet looked up at the Pluto Knight with a simple casual stare, you'd think someone would be surprised if the Leader of the Pluto Knights burst into your room yelling and shouting but to Garnet, it was like usual.

"This may be hard to take, your majesty," Steiner held his hands out as if to calm Garnet down, when really he was the one needing calmed down.

Garnet rolled her eyes unimpressed while Eiko giggled in the background, she decided to play along, "I'm sitting down Steiner, now what is it?"

"One of my Knights reported seeing a young, blonde-haired man enter Alexandria," Steiner said slowly, praying the Queen wouldn't explode.

But unlike what Steiner was thinking she'd do, she continued to stare at him blankly, "Yes, Steiner, what's your point?"

"It could be the thief!" Steiner explained simply.

Garnet smacked her hand against her head, "Okay, one, will you stop calling Zidane 'the thief', he saved all our lives, he saved your life! So try and call him by his real name, at least give him some respect!" she paused as she sighed heavily, picturing Zidane, she missed him so much but she always acted like it meant nothing to her, she was a Queen now, she had to be tough, she couldn't show any weakness whatsoever, which included telling anyone how much she missed Zidane, "And two, it might be hard for you to understand Steiner, but there are more than one blonde man in the entire world!"

Eiko burst into a fit of giggles, amused by how Garnet was making Steiner seem like such a fool.

"A young, blonde-haired man," Steiner repeated, "With a tail."

At this comment, Garnet's eyes widened and she looked between Steiner and Eiko, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, your majesty," Steiner nodded politely at his Queen.

"Well, get all your men out there, then!" Garnet commanded as she jumped up to her feet, "Go and find Zidane! He might be hurt, needing help..." she paused as the horrible image of a half-dead Zidane filled her head, then she realised Eiko and Steiner were looking at her with total concern, No, I'm showing my feelings again... she frowned, "SO GO THEN!!"

Steiner stepped back in surprise, he had never seen the Queen like this before, this must be really serious then, "Right away, your majesty!" Steiner saluted then ran off in search of his men.

"Do you think it's really him?" Eiko questioned unsurely.

"It has to be..." Garnet clenched her hands into fists, praying to God that it was Zidane, her Zidane...
