Chapter 21.

Final Chapter of A Princess Named Garnet:

We'll met once again.

.-

Garnet woke up the next morning not feeling too well. Her head ached from trying out the alcohol that wasn't necessarily the "ultimate" treat for her taste. She never liked alcohol anyways. She tried some wine once before but that didn't turn out well.

She opened her eyes to reveal an unfamiliar living-room.

Where am I? I can't remember anything from last night!

She rubbed her head trying to figure out her surroundings. Just then, a familiar blonde haired genome walked out of the kitchen smiling, "Mornin' sweetie!" He said in a cheerful tone.

Ok why is Zidane here? Where am I? What happened? Ugh.

"You look a bit… uh grumpy. Need a pick me up? 'Cus I have a really good idea for one…" He added. Knowing the pervert Zidane was Garnet took absolutely no chances, "Um no thanks. What happened last night?" She inquired.

Zidane cocked an eye brow at her, "Uh… we went to a party. And then you got drunk and Marcus started yellin' at you and I had to take you home and you couldn't get in the door so you asked if you could crash here!" The blonde explained.

I must have been drunk to ask to stay at his place.

"Well I shall be going now then." Garnet announced getting up. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Zidane shouted. "What?" Garnet asked. "Your welcome." Zidane said smirking. "Um.. ? Okay. Then I'm welcome. Bye." Garnet said walking out leaving a confused Zidane.

Garnet walked into her cabin. Eiko was on the bed making out with Vivi.

Eww….

"Pardon me? Can you just get a room?" Garnet asked disgusted. "Already have one." Eiko responded. Garnet almost hurled. "Okay then." She said and walked out.

Okay? Now what am I supposed to do?

"Why hello there, beautiful." A voice that she definitely did not want to hear said. "Kuja! What do you want?" She asked, backing away from him. "Everyone's saying Zidane raped you last night!" Exclaimed Kuja.

More like you, yourself, and …. Umm… you?

"Whatever." Garnet said starting to walk away from him. "Come on! I want to be friends!" Kuja cried. "Well go kiss a tree then." Garnet grumbled.

I doubt even the tree would want to be friends with that creep though.

"Leave her alone." A voice said. Garnet saw Zidane come out with his daggers in his hands. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr.Seductive. How's life?" Asked Kuja. Garnet rolled her eyes, "Zidane. I'm out of here." She said starting to walk away.

"Go buy some thongs and a new dress for your girliness!" Zidane snapped and followed after Garnet.

-

"Why are you following me?" Asked Garnet. "Uh, I dunno. I was bored." Replied Zidane. "So much for camp." Mumbled Garnet. "Hey we still have the bonfire dance comin' up, what d'ya say?" Zidane asked sitting on the grass.

"I say yes." Garnet replied looking at him. He did have the most beautiful blue eyes!

"Same here. Wanna go TOGETHER?" Asked Zidane smirking. "Well… we had fun last time. I guess it couldn't kill." Responded Garnet. "So. You partied a little "too hard" last night, eh?" Zidane asked winking.

"I didn't do anything really dense did I?" Asked Garnet. "Nope." Zidane replied.

"So! What song we gonna do this time for the dance?" Zidane asked. "I don't know any good songs." Garnet mumbled. "Oh I got one! How about 'I'll be' by Edwin McCain." Suggested Zidane.

"Umm.. I don't know it." Garnet said embarrassed. Zidane put a hand on her shoulder, "Yeah I was planning on letting you borrow it." He then paused, "Wait! You broke my CD last time!"

Garnet laughed. "Funny?" Zidane asked and gave her a goofy smile, pushing her. Garnet pushed him back, "Yes it is." She said. "Okay. You got a weeeird sense of humor but I'm not gonna get on your bad side or you will break my CD." Zidane muttered. Garnet folded her arms, "Whatever Zidane Tribal."

"You like sayin' my whole name don't you?" He asked. "What?" "You say it A LOT!" Zidane exclaimed. Garnet just rolled her eyes gazing at the sky.

"So. Wanna do someth'n fun?" Zidane asked his eyes directly looking at her face. "As in? Another one of your drunk parties?" Inquired Garnet. Zidane laughed, "No way! I'd never put you through that again."

But it wouldn't surprise me if you did.

"Y'know what today is though, right?" He asked. Garnet's face looked puzzled, "What?" She asked. "The fourth of July! Duh! Only the most romantic night EVER!" Zidane replied. Garnet chuckled at him, "You're so naïve, Zidane." She observed. "Thanks! So I was wonderin' if you wanted to get it on tonight and-" Zidane stopped realizing Garnet was glaring at him when he said "get it on".

"Oops sorry." Zidane said, "I meant 'watch fireworks'." He added laughing. Garnet stood up, her hands on her hips, "Can I trust you?" She asked. "I dunno. That's somethin' you should know." Zidane replied. Garnet smiled at him and looked at the sky. Zidane noticed she was shivering, "Cold?" He asked.

"A tiny bit." Garnet replied. Zidane looked down, "C'mon in the grass, it's warmer down here." He said. Garnet sat down shyly when they heard a few fire crackers. Zidane pulled Garnet close to him, "Still cold?" He asked.

"Not really." Garnet responded. Zidane smirked and pointed to many fireworks dancing in the sky. "Pretty." Garnet whispered. "… Yeah. Kinda like you." Zidane added.

Garnet looked at him, realizing they were about a centimeter away from each other.

"if you want we could go inside, but y'know.." Zidane began, "No. I like it out here." Garnet interrupted. Zidane went silent, "Um, ok." He started getting up, "Where are you… going?" Garnet asked shyly.

"I was gonna get some wood, mebbe start a fire. Sounds romantic, huh?" Zidane asked. Garnet rolled her eyes but Zidane noticed a cute smile form on her face as she turned away.

In a minute, Zidane was back with some wood. He light up a huge bonfire and smirked at Garnet, who looked cold again.

He walked over to her, and put his arms around her bringing her close. "Hey look!" Zidane exclaimed pointing to a shooting firework. Garnet smiled as her eyes lit up from seeing it. Zidane turned to her. "What do you think?" He asked. "It's… wonderful." Garnet responded not looking at him, "Thank you." Zidane looked at her confused, "Huh?" He asked.

"This morning. I didn't know what you were talking about. But.. thanks for letting me stay with you last night." Garnet responded. Zidane laughed, "Took ya a while." He added. Garnet just shook her head.

"ROMEO AND JUILET! IT'S BED TIME!" Kuja shouted. "SHUT UP!" Garnet and Zidane bellowed at him in unison.

"Gayja…" Zidane muttered. "He needs help." Garnet added. "Yeah he needs to stop wearing skirts and make up." Zidane said. They both laughed. "So. After the camp dance I guess camp's almost over." Zidane said.

"Yeah… guess so." Mumbled Garnet. "We may be two different worlds apart, but Zidane… please come visit me." She added. Zidane looked up at the sky, "I dunno if Rusty'll let me in." He said. "Well.. then do whatever btu I want to see you… please?" Garnet asked. Zidane turned to her, nodding.

"Alrighty." He said. They both laughed to their "inside" joke. "Don't hurt anyone though." Garnet said. "Aww man! Ruined my plan. I was gonna kick Rusty outta the way and—" Zidane was interrupted by Garnet's eyes watching the sky intent.

She turned to him. "And what?" She asked. "And uh.. be right back!" Zidane exclaimed dashing into his cabin.

He came out with a jam box, "There!" Garnet cocked her brow, "Umm.. what's that for?" She asked. "Music!" Zidane responded and put it on.

He put on 'BYOB' by System of a down. "What on earth are you playing?" Asked Garnet. Zidane smirked, "The best rock you can get!" He exclaimed. Garnet rolled her eyes,

"Okay." Zidane smirked at her. She ignored him.

"So. This would be the perfect time for my kiss since I've been so romantic t'night." Zidane said taking a seat by Garnet. He smiled innocently.

Garnet just looked at him as if he was crazy, "Have you ever been with a girl before?" She asked and started laughing. "Duh!" Zidane replied smirking. "You're not supposed to tell a girl to kiss you…" Garnet said looking up at the sky, "You're supposed to wait for the moment."

"Well when would be a good moment?" Zidane asked looking up. Garnet turned to him,

"Umm…"

"Now."

"Now?" Zidane asked. "Yes." Garnet replied and leaned in. Zidane did the same as their lips met peacefully.

Zidane moved out smirking, "Wow! I didn't know Queen's could kiss so good!" He exclaimed laughing. Garnet smiled, "Well.. you haven't seen anything yet Zidane Tribal!" She exclaimed and leaned in kissing him again for a long time.

She leaned out. Zidane's eyes were huge with surprise. Just then rainbow colored fireworks were shot in the air. The two watched them peacefully. Zidane then turned to Garnet, making Garnet turn to him. "You aren't thinking any perverted thoughts again are you Zidane?" Garnet asked. Zidane smiled looking down, "It's hard not to. You're so beautiful, Dagger." He said.

Why does he always call me that now?.. Oh well.

Garnet just smiled at him, and turned around. "You're not too bad looking yourself for a boy with a tail." She said and started laughing. Zidane folded his arms, "Hey!" He exclaimed and smirked, "Now you're in trouble. NEVER insult my tail!" He said and grabbed her up from the ground, "Oh what are you going to do!" Garnet asked sarcastically acting scared.

"Let's see. I could walk outta your life right now." Zidane said cocking a brow. "You wouldn't." Garnet said. "Could." Zidane corrected. "But you wouldn't." Garnet added. "and just why not?" Zidane asked. Garnet smiled, "because you'd know I'd go crazy."

"I do?" Zidane asked smirking. "Yes you do." Garnet answered. "Okay then." Zidane said.

Just then he smelled fire and turned around. The fire was getting into the grass!

"Dagger move!" He shouted, "Huh?" Garnet asked. Zidane grabbed her hand moving her away from the fire, "Oh my god!" Garnet squealed seeing the giant fire.

"We gotta tell the counselors.. this could be bad." Zidane said. Garnet followed him to the counselor's office.

"A fire?" They all rushed to extinguish it, while Zidane and Garnet watched in suspense.

Were they going to get it out or was it going to burn down everything?

"Shit.." Garnet heard Zidane cuss.

"Crap… look." He said pointing to the fire. It was burning one of the cabins!

"That's my cabin!" Cried Garnet. "Really?" Zidane asked turning to her. "Eiko's in there!" Garnet shouted sprinting towards the cabin.

"Wait! Dag! You can't it's gonna burn down and—" Zidane began. Garnet faced him, "Come ON Zidane! Have a heart." She snapped. Zidane shrugged and followed her towards the cabin.

Garnet dashed in to be greeted with smoke. "EIKO!" She shouted looking around. "Dagger! I'm not going in there! It's too dangerous, you should get out" Zidane said. "Shut up Zidane!" Garnet grumbled. Just then she felt herself get light headed, "I… can't… breathe…" She whispered and fell to her feet.

"Dagger!" Zidane shouted picking her up, "Damn! This place is done for!" He cried and ran out with Garnet in his arms.
