Edonil: Wee! The new site is up! Mwa ha ha ha… I figured out my problem; it was the program I was using. Adobe Golive was generating garbage. Then it complained about said garbage. Go figure. Anyway, my site has a fancy new look, so go on and check it out!
Disclaimer: I own nada.
Advertisement: My site has a pretty new layout. Go check it out!
Re-cap: So, since I haven't done anything for a while… Zidane came back with Kuja, Dagger didn't know if she trusted him, but decided she did during dinner, Dagger and Kuja hung out (there was no romance involved), Kuja went off to visit Blank (no romance there, either), and Steiner caught Dagger and Zidane making out and had a hissy-fit, and chased Zidane into a tree. (I'm thinking of putting up a re-cap on every chapter from now on, so you guys don't get too lost when I don't update.)
Warning: I'll be disappearing in July; I'm trying to write 40,000 words. I'll be posting the story on my fictionpress account- the story will be called Nightmare. So basically, I'm not updating much in July.
To Challenge Perfection
Chapter Six: More Kissing and a Tree
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Zidane laughed in a sing-song voice. Steiner jumped up and down, shaking his sword.
"Come down here, Scoundrel! Knave! Cowardly-"
"What if I dun wanna?" Zidane asked.
"You… You…" Steiner started hacking at the tree with his broadsword.
"Don't do that! You'll ruining Dagger's pretty tree," Zidane smirked. This only infuriated Steiner, though.
"You foolish, silly, childish, worthless, conniving…" Steiner went on to describe Zidane at great length. Zidane interrupted when the tin man began repeating himself.
"You think that highly of me? I'm touched."
"Now see here-"
"Steiner, what is going on?" Steiner looked over to where Dagger was standing with Beatrix.
"Uh… I was… Uh… Your Highness, uh, I was just… Er…"
"I thought so. How are you doing, Zidane?"
"Great, thanks. Although this tree ain't the most comfortable place to sit." Zidane sighed.
"I thought as much," Dagger said, smiling. "Would you perhaps like to come down. I'm sure Steiner will let you, right, Steiner?" Steiner just stood there meekly. Zidane hopped down from the tree.
"Thanks, Dagger." She smiled.
"Now, it's getting late, and I am going to bed, and I believe Steiner is going to forget about this incident." She looked over at the knight, who muttered something under his breath. "Pardon? I'm afraid I didn't here you."
"Nothing, Your Majesty."
"Very well, then. Good night." Nodding to Beatrix, Dagger left the garden, her general in tow. Zidane started walking-
"And where do you think you're going?" Steiner asked.
"The Theatre Ship. You don't mind, do you?" Steiner glared.
"Fine. Go." Steiner turned sharply and walked off. Shrugging, Zidane went back to his plan of following Dagger.
It took him about two minutes to get to Dagger's room. He passed Beatrix on the way, but she was talking to a soldier and apparently didn't notice him. Smiling, Zidane knocked on Dagger's bedroom door.
"Hello?" Dagger opened the door. She was still wearing her orange jumpsuit. "Oh, it's you."
"Yes, it's me. Can I come in?" Laughing slightly, Dagger let him.
"Inviting yourself into a woman's room? Zidane, I'm surprised."
"Really? After all those 'scoundrels', I'd have thought you'd think I was very untrustworthy," Zidane replied, smiling. Then, before Dagger could say anything else and delay the inevitable, Zidane grabbed her and took up from where they had left off when Steiner had rudely interrupted them.
Edonil: I'd just like to say that this story will not go above its current rating, so you don't' have to worry about me getting too graphic in regards with romance. Just so you know. Please review!
