Okay story 2. I decided to do something different and do Rinoa as a child. So here it is hope you like it! Enjoy, read, and review!

Chapter One: Her First Love

Rinoa stepped outside her home in Dollet and sighed. The night was cool, and a nice breeze lifted through the air. She sighed, bored.

Being 14 was hard. No one trusted her enough to let her go anywhere by herself. She always had to have her father near her, or one of his friends. It bugged her. She hated being treated like a doll that could break. On top of that, she didn't like her father.

She waited impatiently to go to the store. Her fathers friend was suppose to take her. She loved shopping for Angelo, her dog. She brought him everywhere with her.

I man with a well- featured face approached, smiling at the young girl. He worked with her father, she had seem him before. With him was a boy, around 18. He was tall, his hair well managed, and he seemed really sweet and happy.

"Hello Rinoa. Me and your father have some business together. Do you mind if my son Chance takes you and Angelo to the store today?"

She pondered this thought. He was close to her age, so she could probably get away with more. She put on one of her "I'm so innocent faces" and replied, "Of course sir, whatever is easier for you."

The man smiled and rubbed Rinoas head, something she hated. It made her feel young. He then turned to his son. "Here, take some Gil and get yourself something if you want. Thank you for the help Chance. And remember take good care of Rinoa.

Chance nodded and turned to Rinoa as the man walked away. He then turned to her, bent down to where they were eye level, and smiled at her. "Hi sweetie, I am Chance as you have already heard. Sorry I have to take you around but I promise it will be fun."

Rinoa blushed, looking at the ground. He was sweet. Most of her fathers friends were jerks, and treated her as if she were nothing because of her age. But him, he paid attention to her. He was different.

He stood up, stretching his arms out. "Where would you like to go hun?"

"To the pet store!" She said happily. She motioned Angelo over, who gave a happy bark, and ran to Rinoa.

"The pet store it is," Chance said kindly.

After that, he was the one that always took her shopping. He came by just to see her, and they spent a lot of time together. Once, she even was allowed to leave Dollet for the first time with him. She had a blast.

They became close, so close he was the only one she'd open up to, or even talk to. She followed him around, doing whatever she could to make him happy. She had her first major crush.

Her father thought it was cute. He rubbed her head and told her she would become a boy if she kept being around one like that. He picked on her a lot, and laughed when it made her sad. Rinoa started to avoid Chance after that.

But even when they were apart, Rinoa could not stop thinking about the man. She would stare at the gifts he had given her, and think about the things they talked about. She missed him so much, but she could not take her fathers crude words. They cut into her.

She had to try and forget him.

He came by one day, asking to see her. She tried to get her father to send him away, but he replied, "Now don't do that to your boyfriend, it isn't nice."

She turned red. He wasn't her boyfriend! She was forced to see him.

They went for a walk around the city, and he held her hand. She felt happy, but always checked to see if her father or one of his friends were around, knowing they would make fun of her more. She loved the way his soft, smooth hands felt in hers. "This is it," she thought. "This is my first love."

And that's when he asked her to be his girlfriend. She was so why about the answer, she almost cried. She turned deep red, looking as though she were badly sunburned. But finally, she managed to say yes.

And under the moon lit sky, a shooting star passed over the city. He held her tight to him, and kissed her soft lips.

Cute eh? Kinda mushy. Yeah I dunno how well this turned out but there it is. More to come in chapter two, not sure how long its going to be. Please review!
