Chapter 10
of A Princess Named Garnet
~The Key To Fun~
Garnet looked down at her feet, realizing that she had to talk to Zidane. Either that, or he definitely will be going with someone else. Garnet glittered her eyes up at Eiko, who was dwelling on going with Vivi.
"I'm going."
Garnet said, perking her head up. Eiko grinned at her, though deep down inside, Garnet knew Eiko hated her.
And, what about it?
She ran to the door, unlocked it, then headed towards the Tantalus' Cabin. She knocked on the door, Baku answered.
"Hey, princess, what's up?"
He asked, smirking. Garnet rolled her eyes.
If they wouldn't talk, I know I'd be less angry.
"I need to--"
But Baku cut her off!
"Speak to Zidane, eh? You guys got the hots for each other, or somethin'? I've been seeing you guys come back and forth to each other's Cabins! For over a week!"
He groaned, then went inside to go get Zidane.
What do I say? I broke his beloved Avril Lavigne CD, and of course, I get all upset over a small thing. Wait, was it that small!? He was going to the dance with someone else! That's NOT small!
In a few minutes, the thief, perked his head out of the door.
"Garnet? I thought you wouldn't speak to me! Hmm. Guess you're sweeter then I thought!"
He said. Garnet sighed.
Does he have to be so darn honest?
"I'm sorry."
She said, closing her eyes.
Even though he's the one who should be apologizing.
"Sorry for what? There's nothing to be sorry about. You were right breaking into anger."
Zidane muttered. Garnet then said,
"And.. out of anger I broke your CD... I'll buy you another one, if that'll repay the destruction..."
Zidane cocked a brow,
"Nah. It wasn't that much to me. I could always listen to Blank's anyway. But listen, what everyone's been saying about me, and this girl named Alex is a lie. We just hung out for a while, then split. I wouldn't go to the dance with her. Since, I'm going with a babe like you."
He explained. They stood in silence, until Zidane said,
"Listen... I talked to Kuja the other day. He told me what he said to you. He's such a bastard. You shouldn't listen to him."
Garnet looked at him,
"He was talking about my mother. He is so insulting!"
She shouted, angrily.
My mother... my 'real' mother. The mother that died in a boat wreck years ago. The mother I probably once loved...
She tried holding tears back. Zidane noticed her,
"So then, uh, see ya at the dance!"
He said. Garnet swallowed,
"Um, yes. Then, see you then."
She said, then walked out, closing the door from behind. Zidane folded his arms,
"Obviously something happened to her mother a long time ago..."
He said, out loud. He shrugged, and walked back into the cabin.
*~*~
Garnet opened her cabin door, Eiko greeted her.
"So, what's up? Did you and Zidane talk?"
She inquired, pushing Garnet inside.
"Yes... and I guess we're going to the dance together. Such a pity."
Garnet replied.
"A pity? Whatchya talking about!? Zidane's the hottest guy here!"
Eiko exclaimed.
Since when? What is so dreadfully hot about him? His tail? I hate guys with tails! Especially Kuja...
"Wait, you're forgetting someone. The hottest and gayest guy here, is Kuja."
Garnet added, sarcastically. The girls broke out laughing.
"Yeah, so how is Mikoto going to treat Kuja?"
Eiko asked, giggling. Garnet smiled,
"I don't know! All I know is Kuja will give Mikoto the "gay" treatment."
She answered, giggling. The two laughed again. Garnet stopped, and looked at her clock,
"Holy Mother of God! I think we're running late! What about the dresses!? The dance starts at six!"
She shouted. Eiko jumped up,
"Oh man! I have to look good!"
She squealed, jamming into her dresser. Garnet headed for hers. The two started rampaging through their clothes.
"Ah-ha!"
Eiko shouted, pulling out a long, short sleeved, purple dress. Garnet smiled, and pulled out a long glittery blue dress, which had no sleeves.
"Aww! No fair! Yours is prettier!"
Eiko complained. Garnet said,
"Not to mention, this."
She said, pulling out something from her top drawer. It was a tiara.
"A tiara? Damn, Garnet! I wish I could even afford that!"
Eiko cried. Garnet rushed to the bathroom,
"Um, hey Eiko? Do you think you could put my hair up in a bun? I'm really bad at doing my hair up."
She said, in the bathroom. Eiko came in,
"Yeah, but put your dress on first! That way you won't ruin your hair!"
She exclaimed. Garnet nodded. Eiko stood there, fixing her hair.
"Um, Eiko? Could I have some privacy, please?"
Garnet asked, impatiently. Eiko stopped brushing her hair,
"God! We're both ladies! And, there's no mirrors in the bedroom!"
She whined. Garnet sighed,
"Fine.. but don't you dare look!"
She scowled, starting to take her clothes off.
Geez. Here I am, undressing in front of another girl. Well, I do it everyday in swimming. Well, that's worse because I'm completely NAKED!
When Garnet & Eiko were finished getting dressed, they looked like this:
Garnet; she had a long blue, glittery dress, sleeveless, and blue gloves. Her hair was arranged in a bun, with no bangs. She wore a tiara on the top of her head. On her feet were beautiful glass, blue, slippers. Just like Cinderella's.
Eiko; she had a long purple, regular dress, short sleeves, and purple gloves. Her hair was completely curly, with no bangs. She wore beautiful purple heels, that made her really tall! (Poor Vivi)
Garnet sighed, along with Eiko. Just then, the door bell rang.
"That's probably Vivi. Zidane's always late."
Eiko murmured, heading for the door. There stood Vivi Oruinter, with his tuxedo on; he wore a blue tuxedo, but still had that hat on!! He handed Eiko some roses, which made Eiko blush,
"Garnet. We're leaving! Hope Zidane arrives early! Best of luck!"
A few minutes after Eiko left, there was a knock on the door.
Oh great. It's Zidane. I've been dreading this moment.
She answered it, but to her surprise it was Rinoa Heartilly,
"Rinoa!"
Garnet exclaimed. Rinoa looked at her, with a tragic facial expression,
"Garnet, you have to help me! It's ten minutes before the dance, and I don't have a date!"
She shouted. She was wearing a long gold dress, with her hair tied back in a bun. She wore gold gloves, and a VAIL on her head!!?? She also wore tall high heels, and earrings that looped.
"I thought you were going with Squall!"
Garnet added, surprised. Rinoa put her hands on her hips,
"He just now told me he didn't want to go with me! We got in some fight, about the songs to do, and I guess he didn't want to do "Eyes On Me"! He's such a meany! GOD! I could kill him!"
She screamed. Garnet sighed,
"Rinoa, I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to do "Eyes On Me", it seems more of a Julia-Laguna song, y'know? I never liked it before.. but that doesn't matter! You need a date! How about umm.. Nick?"
She suggested. Rinoa pouted,
"NO WAY! HE'S SUCH A JERK!"
Garnet groaned,
"I don't have time for this, Rinoa! Zidane's going to be here, any moment! This is your fault! You wanted to go with Squall; the total wreck to nature! I can't believe you!"
She nagged. Rinoa pointed a finger at Garnet,
"Listen! I really need your help! Please!"
She begged.
"NO! I cannot help you! Zidane'll be here in a minute! Maybe you should just go alone!! I'm sorry, Rinoa!"
Garnet replied, turning around. Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"FINE! BE LIKE THAT! YOU'RE ALL REALLY MEAN!"
Rinoa cried, rushing out the door. As she opened the door to get out, Zidane stood there. She pushed him out of the way, and ran back to her cabin.
"Whoa. Is it that time of the month, already?"
Zidane asked. Garnet rolled her eyes, and greeted him at the door. Zidane was wearing a dark blue tux. And.. he looked totally different! He got some crazy cut! And now his hair was spiked! It was scary, but he actually looked hotter. He bent down, and grabbed Garnet hand, kissing it gently.
Oh my gosh. Is this really Zidane?
"Shall we go to the dance, my lady?"
He said in a rather 'noble' type way. Garnet nodded,
"Of course, good sir."
She said, playing his game. Zidane smirked, putting out his hand.
I would never really try to 'touch' a pervert's hand.
Garnet accepted it, though, and they headed to the dance.
