Chapter 3 Try Honestly

Zell and Rinoa entered the infirmary and headed over to see Dr. Kadowaki. "Hey Doc, how's the Commander doing?" asked Zell. Dr. Kadowaki looked up from her desk and paperwork and said "He's doing just fine and he's awake now." "Can we see him?" asked Rinoa. "Of course" answered the doctor "but only one of you can see him at a time since he's still kind of tired." Upon hearing this Rinoa looked kind of disappointed but Zell seemed to perk up at this like he had an idea. "Umm...Rinoa? Would you mind if I went in first and talked to him. I know you really want to see him but before you do could I?" asked Zell looking at the floor. "Sure Zell I'll just wait out here and talk with Dr. Kadowaki" answered Rinoa as she took a seat in front of the Doctor's large steel desk. "Thanks a lot Rinoa" said Zell happily and went into Squall's room. 'I wonder what Zell's up to' thought Rinoa.

"Hey Buddy" said Zell as he pulled up a chair beside Squall's bed. "Hey Zell how's it going?" asked Squall. "Pretty good man, still around after that fight with the uber sorceress" answered Zell smiling. "That's good" said Squall. Suddenly Zell turned serious and said "look I gotta tell you some things but I got to make it quick or Rinoa will zap me with her sorceress powers for taking to much time". "What? Rinoa's out there?" asked Squall excited. "Yes she is and if you let me talk you'll get to see her faster okay?" answered Zell. "Fine what is it you want to say?" asked Squall sitting up more. "Well first you like Rinoa right?" asked Zell staring intently at Squall. "Ya I really, really do Zell" answered Squall blushing. "You'd like to date her?" asked Zell. "Yes I would love to" answered Squall blushing more. "Goodie" said Zell "because she's starting to think that maybe you don't like her because you haven't asked her out yet" "Crap!" Squall cried " I don't want her to think that because that's not it at all. It's just" Squall sighed "it's just that I've never really done this before and I'm not sure what to do". "Well that's why I'm here my friend" said Zell patting Squall's shoulder. "Cid is letting Selphie organize a party for us since we saved the world. Which mean's that you can ask Rinoa to go with you" Squall blushed again "That's a great idea Zell thanks." "I thought you'd might like it, anyway I gotta get out of here and hit the sack I'm so tired." Said Zell yawning and getting up from his chair. "Alright Zell, thanks a lot" said Squall. "No problem" said Zell and he left the room.

"Hey Rinoa, you can go in and see him now" said Zell coming out from Squall's room. Rinoa got up from in front of Dr' Kadowaki's desk and said "thanks Zell". "Well I've got to be going now, see you later Rinoa, Doc." Said Zell and walked out the door.

Rinoa walked into Squall's room and sat down beside him. "Hey Squall, how are you?" asked Rinoa taking Squall's hand in hers. "I'm great now, how are you?" asked Squall. "I'm great now too, and I've got some great news for you" replied Rinoa. "Oh great, what is it? Asked Squall staring intently at Rinoa. "When I went to see Cid in his office he asked me if I wanted to stay here and train to be a seed" said Rinoa proudly. "You said yes right?" Squall asked looking slightly worried. "Oh course I said yes silly, it means I get to stay here." Said Rinoa happily as she smacked Squall playfully in the arm. "That's great Rin I'm glad your staying here" said Squall slightly blushing. Squall looked away as a few moments of silence passed between them. Squall then looked up back at Rinoa. "Ummm... when Zell was in here he told me that Selphie was throwing a party and I was ahhh...wondering , if you would like to go with me?" Asked squall nervously. Rinoa smiled brightly "yes Sqaull I would love to go with you" answered Rinoa. Squall smiled widely "Thanks Rinoa". 'Mmmm again with that smile' thought Rinoa. "You should really stop with all this smiling people might start to think that you've gone soft" giggled Rinoa. "Well we can't have that now can we?" asked Squall seriously but then burst out laughing. "Hell maybe going soft is a good thing" said Squall. "I defiantly think it's a good thing Squall" Rinoa giggled. Dr. Kadowaki knocked on the door just then and said "I have some good news for you Squall, you can leave now." "That's good" said Squall getting out of bed. "Oh ya that reminds me Squall, Cid gave me the room right besides yours" Rinoa said. "I'll walk you home then" said Squall happily. "Alright let's get out of here then." Squall and Rinoa then walked out of the infirmary still holding hands and headed to the dorms. "So Cid gave you the key to the room, right? asked Squall as they walked. Rinoa stopped dead. "Oh no he didn't. Great that means I have no place to stay tonight" moaned Rinoa. Squall thought for a second then said "don't worry Rinoa you can stay in my room tonight and tommorow you can go get the key from Cid." "Thanks a lot Squall" said Rinoa releaved. "No problem" said Squall as they continued down the hall. Squall walked over to his door and unlocked it and waited for Rinoa to go through then followed her through.

'Nice place' thought Rinoa as she looked around. All the walls were white, the living room had a few pictures on the wall, a flat screen tv, a big leather coach and a coffee table. To the left of the living room was a small kitchenette with everything you need in a kitch. On the far wall of the living room were 2 doors what Rinoa assumed to be Squall's bedroom and bathroom. "It's a nice place Squall" said Rinoa still looking around. "Thanks" said Squall, "would you like something to drink?" "A glass of water would be nice" said Rinoa. "Alright" said Squall "I'll be right back." Squall left the room and went into the kitchen.

When Squall came back he found Rinoa asleep on the couch. 'Whoa she looks cute when she's sleeping well she looks cute when she's awake too' thought Squall. Squall bent down and put the glasses on the coffee table and picked up Rinoa. Squall brought her into his bedroom and set her down, careful not to wake her up. Squall bent down a kissed her forehead. "Good night Rinny, sweet dreams. Squall walked over to his closet and took out an extra pillow and blanket and headed for the couch.
