"Wait....What?"

Zidane.....help me....

Hmm? Dagger? Where are you?

Dagger? Are you ok? Where are you?

Zidane.....help me, I'm.....

Dagger!? Where the hell are you? What's wrong? Are you hurt!?

Zidane...please.....

Zidane could see a small pale hand reaching out to him and grabbing hold of his wrist.

Dagger?

------------------------------------------------------

"Dagger!!!" Zidane screamed, waking up from his horrible nightmare. He was very hot. He could feel the sweat emerging from his body. He looked down at his wrist; where in the dream, Dagger had grabbed it.

"Another dream... " He sighed. It was morning now. He must have slept the whole night through; He wondered if Dagger was ok and what she was doing right now. He brushed some bangs from his eyes and slowly got out of bed and went down stairs. It was Saturday, the weekend. So Dagger had been missing for two whole days now. Where could she be?

"Man, I can't stop thinking about her"

"Oh you're awake!"

Zidane turned around and saw Blank behind him. He must have just gotten out the shower, because his skin was damp and he had a towel around his neck.

"What's up?"

"Hey Zidane, Dagger's back!"

Zidane felt his whole body jump with excitement at just the sound of Daggers' name coming from someone's mouth other than his for once. He forcefully put his hands on Blanks shoulders and clutched them.

"Where was she!? Where is she now?"

"Calm down man, I know you're happy but you're scaring me"

"Quit bullshitting with me Blank, tell me"

"Uh, at home maybe, she came over when you were sleeping, but she didn't want me to wake you up. She said to call her later... or something"

"But why? You should have wakened me up!"

"Sorry, but she insisted on it"

"I'm gonna go over to her house and see if she's there now"

From the determined look on Zidane's face, Blank knew that he wouldn't be back for a couple of hours.

"Ok. But you gotta cook your own dinner tonight"

"Fine" He yelled running out the door.

Blank stared at the screen door left wide open. He knew that it was going to be really boring around the house with Zidane gone. Like it always was...

------------------------------------------------------------------

Zidane ran as fast as his legs could carry him; It was pretty cold outside at the time. Fall weather, it seemed like. Zidane would surely catch a cold running in the cold like this. But, he didn't care. He had never been so desperate to figure out something. He was almost at Dagger's place. Just a few more blocks to go.

He stopped to catch his breath. When he looked up, he saw that he had already arrived in front of her house. He went to the door and rung the doorbell like a maniac. He could hear footsteps coming closer and the door opened.

"D-Dagger... "

"Oh, hey Zidane, what's up?"

Zidane was confused by this. Why was she so... regular? She had been missing, or better yet kidnapped for about 2 days now. Shouldn't she have call the police, or something? Zidane didn't care. Nothing would stop him from giving her the biggest hug in the world.

"Zidane!? Ow, that hurts! Let go!!"

He breathed in her beautiful scent. He could feel her soft lips against his neck and her silent breathing. Oh, how he had missed her. He thought the worst things imaginable happened to her but here she was... just as she left. He finally forced himself to break the hug.

"Dagger, are you ok? Tell me what happened. Where did you go?"

"Um, I was at Kuja's house"

"Oh ok, that's fine... you were at Ku... KUJA!?!? What the hell were you doing at Kuja's house, Dagger!?"

Dagger knew she should have explained before she mentioned Kuja's name.

"I'll explain. I had a free last period, so I went home to get something and I was on my way back to the school to meet up with you, but I ran into Kuja on the way back"

"And?" Zidane said in an annoyed tone. He didn't care about the rest of the reasons; he just wanted to know why Dagger spent 2 whole days at Kuja's house!

"He asked me to come with him to his house, cuz he wanted to show me some things"

"Like what, his pet snake? Haven't you ever heard of the saying, 'Don't talk to strangers?"

"Oh Zidane, you and I know perfectly well, that he's no stranger"

"Then what the hell were you doing over there!?"

"He uh, wanted me to model some clothes for him. He said he's looking for some good quality models and... "

"Wait... What?"

Dagger was too embarrassed to look Zidane in the eye.

"I just modeled some things for him that he wanted me to put on... "

"And you actually did it?"

"Well, yea, I didn't see any harm in it. What's wrong with helping a person with their future career?"

"If you were just 'modeling' for him, how come you were gone for two freakin' days!?"

"On the first day, I stayed up to 6 in the morning and completely slept the next day in"

"And you didn't even call anyone to tell them where you were!?"

Dagger knew she had messed up big time. Everyone knew how much Zidane hated Kuja. Oh yea, Dagger, staying at Kuja's house for two whole days will make Zidane like him more! Dagger mentally gave herself a punch in the head for her stupidity.

"Did... "

"Hmm?"

"Did he touch you...?"

Dagger felt herself blush from the question but, tried to hide it with her hand.

"N-no, not at all"

"Ok then... "

There was a long awkward silence.

"So um, how long do you plan on doing this modeling thing for him anyways?"

Dagger smiled. He wasn't mad anymore!

"Not anymore! He said I wasn't what he was looking for. So, he's going to find someone else to model for him"

"Man, my brother sure does love girls. Maybe it's in the genes or something" He shrugged

Dagger giggled and agreed.

"Yea, I think so"

"So um, is anyone home?"

"No, my mom went to a meeting again. So, I'm running things around here!" She smiled

"Mind if I come in?"

The smile Zidane gave Dagger at that moment was those kinds of smiles that give you the most wonderful feeling. Like sweet and melting feeling...

"Sure"

Zidane nodded and went inside, while Dagger followed shyly behind.

"So, how has school been? Have I missed any big assignments or anything?" Dagger said closing the blinds.

"Nah, nothing much. We just have a small quiz tomorrow in English, but it's all the stuff we've been reviewing all week. So you should be ok"

"Oh, that's good. Um, could I get you anything?"

Zidane seemed lost in thought.

"Hey, I know! Let's make spaghetti!"

"Huh? Spaghetti?"

"Yeah! I've been wanting some all week now! Oh, please can we make some Dagger?"

She smiled and nodded.

"I'll get the noodles and sauce. Can you bowl the water and get the dishes ready?"

"Yep! I'll even throw some fancy napkins in"

"Ok, I'll go get the stuff"

Zidane got up and went into the kitchen. It was so big and neat compared to his kitchen. He opened a drawer where all the silverware was. They were all so shiny and clean. Now that he thought about it, Dagger was pretty rich, with her mom being a lawyer and all. It must be so cool to have such a nice place to live in.

He got out a big pot and filled it with water, so that he could bowl it.

"I got the pack of noodles and the sauce!" Dagger appeared on the other side of the kitchen with her hands full of stuff to make the spaghetti.

"Lemme help you, here... "

Zidane grabbed a hold of the noodles and other stuff that she was carrying. When they both set in on the table, they let out a big sigh.

"This dinner's gonna be great!"

"Yea, I don't think I've ever made spaghetti before"

"For real?"

"Yeah, I usually make big meals and bowling noodles is just so... simple. I'm not used to-"

Zidane cut off Dagger's sentence as he sealed her lips with his own. She wrapped her arms around his neck, while he rested his hands on her hips. There was no hesitating at all. They both were really into it. As if, they had longed for their lips to meet again.

"Mhmm, mmm... "

Zidane could hear Dagger's soft moans as their tongues danced together in delight. He ran his fingers through her soft silky hair, as Dagger continued loving him. He turned his head to deepen the kiss but, stopped when a strange smell caught his attention. Zidane broke the kiss to see what it was. Dagger stared back at him confused.

"Do you smell that?" Zidane said suspiciously.

They both quickly looked at each other when they realized what it was that they were smelling.

"The water! It's burning!" Zidane rushed to the stove and turned it off.

"Phew! That was a close one" Zidane wiped some sweat from forehead.

"Yeah, we should boil another thing of water and this time we'll watch it"

Zidane blushed at her comment.

"I'll be back. I have to use the bathroom. Boil another pot of water, will ya?"

"Ok!" He called. So Zidane repeated the same steps as he had done before. Hold the pot over the water faucet, turn the faucet off, turn the temperature up to high and... watch it. He leaned against the counter that was behind him and looked over where he and Dagger were just making out. He didn't want it to end. He wanted more... the sweet taste of her tongue, her soft warm cheek against his. God, he had missed her those two days that she had been gone.

"I wonder if she wanted to continue what we were doing... "

He was glad that Dagger was back and things were finally normal again. He would never take Dagger's being there for granted ever again.

"Hey Dagger?"

"Yes!" Dagger yelled down from upstairs

"Mind if I stay here for the night?"

He grinned to himself.
