DreamCherry66-I agree with you. HOMEWORK NEEDS TO DIE!
Emzies-and-mog-Golem, give mog back NOW.
RefugeofSouls-You're more random than bored band people. When I first started writing, I kind of figured that I needed someone who's infinitely curious.
tranquil-echo-I'm continuing because I'm taking a break from being productive in other areas.
Disclaimer: I don't own FFIX or the FFIX characters or a PS2 and Hope belongs to me.
Gem: Woo-hoo! Here's another update!
Vivi (walking into the room): Gem, how much sugar have you had today?
Gem: None at all. I haven't had anything since lunch and dinner will be ready soon so so much for a snack.
Vivi: I think that I'm going to leave now. walks out of the room
Gem: Okay, then. Where was I? Oh, yeah my story.
Hope nearly bounce out of bed the next morning. She was curious about her dad and why he had been gone for so long. She nearly ran to her mother's room where her father obviously had to have stayed. He was her father and her mother's husband, wasn't he?
She bounced into the room and stopped dead in her tracks. That was the worst sight that she'd ever seen (a/n worst site for a six year old at least in my eyes). Her father was bare-chested and laying with his tail and one leg off of the bed. Her mother was using her father as a pillow and her hair acted as a blanket for Zidane's bare chest.
Hope just stared at her parents unable to comprehend.
"Good morning, Hope."
This momentarily brought Hope back to her senses. She looked at her father again as he said this and replied, "Good morning, father."
Zidane carefully got out of bed and placed Dagger's head on the pillow.
"Come here, you," he said, kneeling down to her height.
Hope ran to him and was picked up in his arms. She giggled and was shushed.
"Shh, you'll wake your mother."
"Too late. I'm already awake. And just what are you doing in here, Hope?"
"I wanted to see Daddy."
Dagger got out of bed and took her daughter from Zidane's arms for a moment. Soon the three of them were standing on the balcony watching the sunrise. Hope thought back to when they tried to go and find her daddy.
The path to the Iifa tree had been blocked. But was it blocked for a reason? Hope really wanted to know. Her father had been long gone from that place and yet no one thought to clear it.
"We should go in before the entire city sees us in our night clothes."
"You have a point there, Dagger. I really don't feel like showing your entire city what I wear to bed."
"Come back in, the sun's up now."
"Anything for you, my beloved Dagger."
My parents are acting like two lovebirds. I wonder what's with them?
"Hope, go get dressed please."
"Okay, Mother." And with that, Hope ran off.
"Some time to ourselves, I see."
"I just want to hear more about what you went through and why you wrote of our adventures."
"Why? So that one day, people will look back and see how anyone can change the world."
"I'm surprised. You were always the optimist but that doesn't sound like you."
"We've all changed, Dagger. I'm more settled, you're closer to your people, Steiner seems less protective of you, and Vivi's less serious. I really haven't seen the others yet so I wouldn't know."
"Eiko hasn't changed much but I think something might be going on between her and Vivi (a/n keep your minds out of the gutter)."
Gem: Short chapter, I know.
Vivi (walking back into the room): Are you off your sugar high yet?
Gem: Yup.
Vivi: Okay, then. Nothing more?
Gem: Not for tonight because it's time for me to go to bed.
Vivi: Please R&R!
