"You need to rest so badly, I can see it.."

Vincent's POV

"..Kit?"

"I.. I'm fine. Really, don't worry about me. Just silly, silly thoughts! And that's nothing out of the ordinary with me." The look on her face did nothing to reassure me, but I doubt anything could at that moment. She knew something, and she wasn't going to tell me.

"Alright.. So who wants to get married? I do!" Sure, she said tomorrow but.. Today is just as good.

"Vince! How am I supposed to get everything ready for today?" She wiped her tears away, putting on a smile just for me.

"You're a sorceress. Just make something fancy in a hurry." OK, she shouldn't be using her powers for things like homes or weddings but come on.. Sometimes you just have to bend the rules a little.

"You always told me not to use my powers for anything other than battle." She took a deep breath, shaking her finger at me. "Besides.. This kind of stuff takes a whole lot of planning and.. Ahh fine. What the hell? I'll give it a shot! And if everything isn't complete we can worry about it tomorrow, right? No rush?"

"Of course not." I pulled her into my arms, squeezing slightly. I can't wait to see her in a wedding dress, I bet.. I bet she'll look amazing.

"I'll make you a nice, comfy tux! Ohhh, that'll look so cuute!" Kit pinched my cheek and jumped out of my arms, heading for the door. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have plenty to do. Just sit back and relax.. well.. until I need to switch the house around a little."

"No problemo. Have at 'er, dear."

Kit's POV

Just for today.. I want to make this place into a castle, fitting of a king. I may not be the girliest of girls, nor have great interior design skills but.. I'll do my best to make everything perfect. Today will be a day to remember.

Darling..

"Mom!" I looked side to side, searching for my mothers familiar face.

"Behind you."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Now is not the fucking time, mother. Now is not the day to be messing with me..

"Engaged are we? And about to be wed? No invitation for your mother, either. That's not how I brought you up, Kitty." The tone of her voice was not something I recognized, Rinoa was lost inside her anger and had become posessed by the sorceress inside her. To be so weak.. Mom..

"Last I checked, you weren't there for me at all. Not that you could help it. Although, maybe if you hadn't become so obsessed with living your life the way you wanted and dragging dad along with you, your life would have lasted longer." I don't have time for this shit, Ultimecia. "Why the obsession with time? What did you want to do?"

Flashback

"I've...become a sorceress. I can't stay with you anymore, Squall."

"I don't want the future. I want the present to stand still. I just want to stay here with you..."

"Nobody would want to be around me anymore."

"I'm scared, Squall. I don't wanna go back."

End of flashback

"You did it.. You did all of that out of love?" Tears stung my eyes, my throat felt raw. "You killed so many.. the innocent. And it was all to stay with the man you loved? But he killed you.."

"I told him that it'd be alright.. No one else."

Flashback

"If I fall under Ultimecia's control again..."

"SeeD will come kill me, right?"

"And the leader of SeeD is you, Squall..."

"Squall's sword will pierce my heart..."

"I guess it's ok if it's you, Squall. Nobody else."

"Squall, if that ever happens..."

End of Flashback

"He said he wouldn't.. That the sorceress he was after wasn't me but it was me. The future me.." She clenched her hands into fists. "He would have never done it if it wasn't for Garden, it wasn't for SeeD. Those filthy lokusts.." Her eyes kept changing from the gentle brown I remember to a horrid red, she couldn't control herself.

"Why are you doing this to yourself? Why won't you let yourself rest? You need to rest so badly, I can see it.." Do it for me, mom. I don't want to see you hurt anymore.

"I will go as soon as I finish my last task."

"Which is?" Damn it..

"You'll see." She began walking away from me, ready to return to where she came from. "Enjoy your wedding, Kitty."

Like I really can now.. sigh perfect.. Just perfect.

"Vince!" I called for him from outside, too dazed to walk into the house. "You have to come out here for a minute."

He came running from inside, eventually reaching my side.

"So what about a castle?" I paused for a moment and channeled all of my energy, hoping to be sucessful in building something so huge.

"Holy shit.." I heard Vincent whisper, shaking me slightly. I guess I had blacked out for a moment, stuff like that usually happens whenever I strain myself.

"You should really be more careful, honey. But look at what you did.. It's perfect."

I glanced up, taking the whole building in. It was the exact picture I had set in my mind, which is somewhat unusual. I'm not an experienced sorceress so everything I do is never accurate, an important detail is always missing. But this time.. when I needed it the most, my powers worked completely. "You like it?"

"Heck yes, I do. Need any help with anything?" Vince picked me up from off the ground, plopping me back down onto my feet again, with a little extra support this time.

"Naw.. I've spoiled your surprise already. Now, get into that castle of yours and relax somewhere!"

Honestly.. After all of that, I'd rather be alone right now anyway. Maybe it'll help me unwind a little.. I don't need to tell Vince about this just yet.

"Alright.. See ya soon." He turned around and proceeded to walk towards our new temporary home.

Hmm.. Tux, dress, a minister of some kind.. And all I have is my magic? Easy, sure but I feel like I'm cheating. I wanted a nice, big wedding.. just to rub my dad's face in the fact that I'm in love with his rivals son. Yeah, that would be the best.

Runners can't be choosers.

Squall's POV

"Leonheart.. I have one simple question to ask of you." The one and only Seifer Almasy barged into my office, stepping dangerously close to my desk. "Where in the hell is my son?"

"What do you mean?" Maybe he'll buy it. Nah.. What the hell am I thinking? He's an asshole but he sure as hell isn't an idiot.

"You know exactly what I mean! Where the hell is he?" He normally had a horrible temper but this time.. I was almost afraid to tell him the truth. I was usually pretty confident when dealing with Seifer but he seemed more intimidating than before, like he was secretly plotting to kill my sorry ass.

"He ran away with Kit. I have no idea as to where they ran off to, but I'm currently investigating every option I can think of. He's been missing for almost a year, and you just noticed now? You're one hell of a father, Seifer."

"Shut the fuck up, Leonheart. You've been searching for months and still have no idea where they are?" Seifer slammed his fist on my desk, causing my secretary to come rushing to the scene. "Pathetic."

"You're more than welcome to help me." But I sincerely doubt that you'll know something I don't.

"Damn right. You need all the help you can get."

A knock at the door distracted us both for a moment, and I'll thank god daily for that little interruption. It probably saved my life.

"Come in." A bubbly, half dressed girl stumbled into my office. "What would you like, Kate?"

"Hey, sexy. So like, I think I know exactly where your daughter and Vince are hiding."

So many things came rushing into my mind at that moment. The fact that I had just been upstaged by a teenage skank, that it happened right when my rival was standing in the room and how I was going to approach the situation.

"And how do you know? Did Kit tell you?" If she told you and you've been holding out on me for a fricken year, I swear child..

"Oh, no. I just had some help from a fellow buddy of mine, he knows like, everything."

Seifer walked over to her, shaking Kate by her shoulders. "So spit it out. Where the hell are they!"

A slow, suffocating silence took over the room as we waited for her to begin speaking again.

"You really wanna know? Like, right this sec? 'Cause I can like, totally wait until you're ready."

'YES!" Seifer and I screamed in unison, both of us losing what was left of our patience.

"Have you checked that old flower field yet, hunny?"

Rae's POV

"So.. nice punch, Rae." Brad, my brother, approached me out of no where.

"..Thanks." He's hiding something from me, I can always tell with him. He loses all eye contact with you, gets lost in thought far too easily for a brain dead cowboy, and keeps up a normal conversation. "So what exactly are you hiding?"

"Kit and Vincent's time is up." I almost pounched on him, unleashing a series of nunchuk moves on his hollow head. That would have been sweet, I've been waiting for an excuse to do that for years.

"What the hell are you talking about? You're a damn moron, you know that!" He stepped closer to me and leaned in, wanting to say the next words under his breath.

"Don't fuck with m'girl." He laughed suddenly, an evil, unexpected cackle. "Anyway, it's too late now. Better run, run as fast as you can and warn them. They're at the flower field, good luck."

Oh for Christ.. Kit, Vince.. I'm coming.

I ran away from Brad as quickly as I could, looking for Dan. He's the only one I can really trust.. it's been that way for as long as I can remember. A part of me wants to be with him forever, I guess you could call it love. But.. some things are better left unsaid. And anyway, I doubt he feels the same.

When I finally reached his dorm, I knocked furiously, hoping to grab his attention. "Dan! I need you!"

He came rushing out of his room and took me into his arms. "What the hell happened?"

"Kate.. she's telling Squall where they're hiding. It's exactly where I thought they were, and I know they're there. I.. I don't wanna lose them.." Tears poured out of my eyes, drenching his clean shirt.

"Shit.. We have to go. We have to go, now!" He released his hold on me and took my hand, "Follow me."
