ashitaka666-I agree with you. They are cute together. Zidane might or might not appear at all. You have to read to find out.

Emzies-and-Mog: Yes the kid belongs to Zidane. The tail will remain hidden for a while longer. And Mog, maybe you need a calculator to help you solve 2 2.

Linker27: Yes this story is very unusual but then again I was bored when I started writing this. This is what happens when you have nothing better to do.

Gem: Thank you to those people who reviewed. I'm in school so I work on this whenever I get a chance. Sorry if the characters seem OOC but this is the way that I imagined them.

Dagger: You're only writing this right now because you've given up on you math homework?

Gem: Yes, whoever made Calculus should die. Wait a minute they're already dead. I also need to get rid of some anger so writing should help me.

"Baku sent you this. He said that he found it in some of Zidane's things. He wasn't sure what it was, but it had another page with it saying that this was for you."

Steiner didn't sound too happy about this but he handed the stack of paper to Dagger. On the first page of the stack was a note addressed to her. It said:

Dear Dagger,

I don't know if you'll ever get this, but still, I want to write this down. I loved you since I first met you. Do you remember the story that I told you in the Black Mage Village? Well, here is the rest of the story starting on your sixteenth birthday. This is the past year that I've spent with you. There are parts, which are missing. Most of them deal with you. Write the missing parts and share them with our child once he or she is born.

I love you.

Zidane

Dagger looked up at the end of this to find that both Steiner and Vivi were looking at her.

"It's his version of our travels. He says that there are missing parts," she said finally. "Zidane also said to share the finished story with Hope. Hope asked about my travels, and now I'll be able to tell her the full story."

"You had a child with that ruffian?!?!?!" exclaimed Steiner. (a/n the truth comes out. Hope does have a tail from Zidane.)

"Yes. A...bond was formed when Kuja destroyed Alexandria. Zidaane was always looking out for me."

"Master Steiner, didn't you wonder why Hope was given that particular name?" asked Vivi. (a/n Steiner heard about the birth but didn't know what Hope looked like.)

"Master Vivi, I never did. It wasn't my duty to question Her Highness's decisions," replied Steiner.

"I told you not to Your Highness me," said Dagger.

Just then there was a loud crash outside. Hope ran into the room looking petrified, and Vivi picked her up to try and calm her down. There was a lot of noise and angry shouts coming from outside. By now everyone was more curious than afraid.

A nice mess met them. It looked like something had crashed or someone wasn't a very good pilot. Eiko had gotten on the ship somehow and was yelling at someone who was also yelling. As they approached the ship, they could make out what Eiko was yelling.

"YOU MORON!" Eiko yelled. "YOU NEARLY FLEW INTO MY ROOM!"

"I'm new at this," said the unfortunate pilot.

"I DON'T CARE! I COULD PILOT BETTER THAN THAT! YOU SHOULD WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING!"

"Eiko, please calm down," asked Dagger. "Come, let's find Baku. He should be able to explain what happened."

"Fine," Eiko replied huffily.

Zidane: I have a KID!

Gem: Yes, you do. Why do you think that she has a tail?

Zidane: Oh. Oops.

Eiko: I want to know what happened!

Vivi: Please read and review so Gem can write another chapter!
