Squall (POV)
BOOM! "What the hell was that !" I exclaimed as the lights flickered.
"Ahh…" Rinoa screamed. Panic hit me, where was Rinoa, was she next to me or was she being carried off down the hall by some dumb fuck. Then I felt next to me, good, she was there.
"Its okay Rin, its okay," I said as soothingly as possible. "It was just a nightmare."
"I know, I just dreamt that Ultimecia had taken my body and used it to kill you, there was nothing I could do."
"Ultimecia is dead Rinoa, we killed her in time compression, remember?"
"I know, it's just that I couldn't fight it, I didn't want to watch you die at my hand, or anyone else's for that matter." She replied. "What time is it?"
"I don't know, my power isn't working"
"Oops," she said.
"I think you must have cast Thundaga when you had that nightmare. The lights seem to be out."
"Check your watch," she said and I complied.
"4:30, now go back to sleep, I'll be right here watching over you," I tried to explain and she resentfully went back to sleep. "Sleep well my beloved." I then proceeded to drift off myself.
I awoke the next morning to find Rinoa missing form our bed and a noise coming from the bathroom. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Apparently Rinoa had heard me get up. "I'm okay Squall. I guess I had something didn't quite agree with me last night."
"Uh, okay, are you better now?"
"Yeah I think so."
"So, are you hungry?" I asked.
"Famished." She replied.
"Wow," I said truly surprised. "I've never been famished before. But, okay, let's go get something to eat." We locked arms and headed towards the cafeteria.
"Eat much?" I asked sarcastically.
"I don't know what's gotten into me," she replied finishing her forth bowl of Cheerios. All of a sudden 'dad' waltzed in. Well, he didn't exactly waltz but you get the drift.
"What are you kids doing up so early?" This was another reason I still hated him, he still thought of us as kids.
Rinoa (POV)
"Eating breakfast." I said in a low grumble. Something was seriously wrong with me. The puking, the eating, and now the snapping at my soon to be father-in-law.
"So, did you come here for a reason, or did you just come her to see me?" Laguna asked after grabbing a bowl of cheerios as well.
"Squall has something to ask you," I said. "Don't you Squally?" I nudged him in the ribs. He was apparently lost in thought.
"Huh? Oh yeah, uh, oh gosh, how do I put this? Dad, you know that I'm not eighteen yet so I need to ask you to do this one thing for me."
"I'd do anything for you Squall, you know that." Laguna interjected.
"Okay then, I need permission to marry Rinoa Heartilly."
"Do you love her?" He asked.
"Yes I do," Squall replied.
"Then go ahead, and let me be the first to congradulate you both."
"Thank you Laguna, and of course you are invited to the wedding." I said.
"Thanks for the great news, I can't wiat to tell the others."
"Wait, you can't tell anyone, we haven't gone public with it yet," I said quickly. "Only our closest friends actually know about it. Isn't that right Squall."
"Whatever, Rin, we should get going." Squall stated as he stood up and walked over to Laguna and shook his hand. "Thanks dad." Then he walked back to me with my future father in law.
I ran up to him and hugged him tight, "thank you."
"Bye," Laguna said. "Don't be a stranger."
"I won't!" I said as we left the palace and headed towards the Ragnorak with the sunlight in our faces. We walked hand in hand and finally found our way to the ship without incident.
"Yay, they're back!" I heard Selphie yell as the hatch opened to let us aboard. "How'd it go?"
"…" Nothing came from Squall's mouth so I decided to open mine.
"It went great. Laguna said that it was okay for us to marry. So now all that's left is my father."
"I hear he's one tough cookie."
"Shut up Irvine!" I replied.
"Wha…?" Irvine exclaimed.
"Geez, I'm sorry, I don't know what's come over me. My temper has been flaring recently."
"Its okay"
