Chapter 5 Vacation

Rinoa emerged from the bathroom to find Squall in the kitchen making breakfast

with his back to her. 'Let's have a little fun!' she thought 'I wonder if he's ticklish'.

Rinoa crepted up behind Squall and tickled the sides of his stomach lightly. Squall yelped

and turned around. "HEY!!" he cried, "that's not a very nice thing to do to someone

who's making your breakfast." "Whatever" said Rinoa smiling "That's my word" said

Squall trying to sound offended. "Well too bad for you because it's been stolen just like

your bathrobe "she said pointing to what she was wearing. "Whatever, breakfast is

ready," he said and grabbed the two plates and placed them on the small table in the

kitchen. Rinoa sat down across from Squall and began eating her breakfast.

"MMMMH!!" Rinoa exclaimed taking another bite of egg, "this is great Squall"

Squall smiled proudly "glad you like it Rin" "where'd you learn to cook?" asked Rinoa

looking up from her food. Squall finished his mouthful, "here, actually, its part of the

SEED training. This was we won't starve to death if there's no one who can cook for us".

"Oh cool" said Rinoa and went back to eating her breakfast. Moments later Rinoa

dropped her fork, it gave a loud 'thud' as if hit her plate. Squall looked up, startled by the

sudden noise. "What's wrong?" he asked. "In my SEED training will I have to take a

class on cooking?" asked Rinoa worriedly. "I don't know," replied Squall "you probably

won't have to take as many courses as other cadets because you already have many of the

skills that are required to be a SEED, like weapon and magic use. Why" he asked. " I

never could learn to cook, I'm horrible at it. When I was little the cook at my father's

mansion tried to teach me to cook and no matter how hard I tried at it, I could never cook

anything without ruining it" Rinoa replied embarrassed. "Well I could teach you that way

you won't have to take that class and it'll be easier for you to learn." Replied Squall

smiling. "I'd like that a whole lot better, thanks Squall." "My pleasure" said Squall. ' I

bet I could make a lot of things your pleasure' Rinoa mentally kicked herself ' Bad

thoughts, Bad Rinoa"

"Could Squall, Rinoa, Zell, Selphie, Irvine and Quistis please report to Cid's

office ASAP!" called the P.A. system after they had finished their breakfast. "Wonder

what this is about" mumbled Squall. ' Damn it all! I guess I have to get out of his

bathrobe now" thought Rinoa disappointed. "Hey Squall, do you have any clothes I could

wear? The bags with my clothes in them are all at Selphie's. And I can't really wear this

to Cid's office" she giggled as she pointed to the robe. Squall laughed, "Yea I do but it's

all guy clothes I hope you don't mind" "Not at all" answered Rinoa as she followed

Squall into his bedroom.

Squall opened his closet and pulled out a pair of black jeans and a grey sweater.

"This is all I got that will fit you," said Squall. "Thanks Squall I just hope I don't look too

horrible in them," joked Rinoa. "Don't worry Rin, you look good in everything" Squall

said seriously, then realizing what he had said turned bright red, handed Rinoa the clothes

he was holding and quickly left the room. Rinoa laughed till her sides hurt. 'At least

there's still some old shy Squall around' thought Rinoa happily. Rinoa changed quickly

and put on come of Squall's cologne. 'YUMMY!' she thought 'Squall smell'. She left the

room and found Squall walking around in the living room. "Ready to go" she asked.

"Yep" answered Squall quietly. "Then let's go see what Cid wants" said Rinoa heading

for the door.

At the elevator Squall and Rinoa met up with a very tired looking Quistis. "Hey

Quistis" they said. "Hey guys," murmured Quistis. "Long night?" asked Rinoa. "Ya"

yawned Quistis "the Trepies kept on bugging me for details on the sorceress fight so I

ended up telling them about it and it took forever" "That sucks" said Squall as the

elevator dinged when it reached the third floor. "Sure does" said Quistis and stepped out.

Inside Cid's office Zell, Selphie, and Irvine were already there standing in front of

Cid's desk so the three of them went over and joined them. There was a hydraulic

droning sound as the lift came down from Garden's bridge with Cid riding it. The group

including Rinoa saluted as soon as they saw Cid. "Relax" Cid said as he got off the lift

and sat down at his desk. "Well congratulations, you guys are the best SEED's Balamb

Garden has ever had and because of this you are all getting 2 weeks paid vacation starting

today" said grinning as Selphie started jumping and Zell did his victory dance. The rest of

the group managed to restrain their excitement and just smiled and nodded. Cid laughed

"and don't worry your duties will be taken care of while your gone" again cheers rang out

from Selphie and Zell. "I guess that's all, see you in 2 weeks. Dismissed" The group

turned and headed to the elevator. "Squall, Rinoa" called Cid before they reached the

elevator. "Yes?" asked Squall as they headed back into his office. "It occurred to me this

morning that I didn't give Rinoa the key to her room last night, I hope this didn't cause

any problems for you Rinoa" said Cid slightly embarrassed at his screw up. "Actually sir,

it would have had it not been for Squall. He was kind enough to let me stay with him last

night after we realized that I didn't have the key to my room." Said Rinoa politely. "Oh

good" said Cid, opening his desk drawer and pulling out a small key chain. "Here you

go," he said "oh and when you return we need to go over Rinoa's classes" "Yes sir" they

said at once and headed for the elevator.

'I wonder what my room is going to look like' thought Rinoa as she unlocked the

door. She opened the door and walked in. It was also identical to Squall's only it had no

furniture other then the appliances in the kitchen. "Well I guess you need to go

shopping," said Squall looking around. "Ya I do, YAY!" Rinoa exclaimed happily. They

spent a few more minutes looking around. "Guess I'll be going into Balamb today and

pick up some furniture" said Rinoa "oh and some paint too." "Paint would be good," said

Squall as he looked at the white walls. "Would you like to come with me Squall?" asked

Rinoa excitedly. "I don't really do the whole shopping thing," he said. "OH" said Rinoa

disappointed. "But I will help you paint" smiled Squall. Rinoa perked up at that "that'd

be great" "I'll see you when you get back" said Squall and headed to the door. "Squall?"

"Ya?" he asked. Rinoa walked over to him and kissed him deeply. "Bye" she breathed.

"Bye Rin" he whispered and left.
