1CHP 3 REUNIONS AND WARNINGS

Hurray! Chapter three! Oh yeah the progress is good! thank you to everyone that reviewed so far! It made my day...I will not kill any puppies today cause I feel good! ANYhoo, ENJOY!

Another unexpected day...

These were the worst. Squall hated not knowing what the fuck was going to happen in his life. If he didn't see it coming then it didn't deserve to happen. Why couldn't he just have woken up at the normal time he always did? Why couldn't he just go on a mission to save the world or something? Wait...why was he acting like this? All he wanted to do for the past two years was be able to see Rinoa, and now that she is actually here he was acting like an ass. This isn't what he wanted. But he couldn't just let it go like it had meant nothing to him...she left! Out of the blue! Without even saying goodbye. She only left that sad excuse for a goodbye note...who the fuck does that! Not even a kiss...

Squall sighed and looked over his shoulder to check and see if Rinoa was still following which she was. She was staring at the ground. Squall had wondered why but decided it wasn't that important so he turned around and continued to walk.

Rinoa was going through ever possible reason as to why squall would behave this way and more importantly, what it meant. Did he still love her? Does he still want to be friends even? Oh god...what if... I mean it had been two whole years since she had been gone so, what if...in that timing...he had found someone else? 'NO!' Rinoa shook her head to lose the thought. 'Squall wouldn't do that to me. I have to have a little faith in him at least.'

she looked up from the ground. She started to look squall over. He had changed in so many ways, and yet, not at all. He still held himself the same way. His tone when he spoke. And the way he hid his emotions. Rinoa's eyes landed on the back of his neck. She needed to know what he was thinking, she needed to feel his reassuring gaze as he stared at her, but most of all she needed to feel the warmth of his hand, holding hers, showing he loved her without actually saying anything. Her eyes wandered down his arm to his hand. (The other one had been in his pocket.) If she reached out to him, would he take embrace her hand? Or reject it? She wasn't sure but she had to do something to see if he still loved her.

Slowly she reached her hand out, attempting to reach his. This was it, what would he do? Her heartbeat increased and a light flush came to her face...why was she getting butterflies all of a sudden? Over something so trivial as holding someone hand? Didn't matter. She just had to test it out, just to see.

She got just to the point of contact until squall stopped suddenly and instead of grabbing his hand she ran into him. She looked up at the back of his head then leaned over to the side to see what he had stopped at and a smile came to her face. She stepped to the side to be able to see the two girls. "Quistis? Selphie?" Both women turned away from their conversation with each other and instantly smiled.

"Rinoa?" Quistis exclaimed with joy. "Oh Rinoa!" selphie yelled, running over to envelope her in a monster hug. Rinoa laughed and looked at quistis who was just laughing at the situation. quistis looked over at squall who just stared at the two and automatically she knew something was wrong. Quistis looked back at the two girls, "ok. I think we should show you to your room now, Rinoa." rinoa let go of selphie and nodded. Selphie took Rinoa's hand and started walking, "oh my gosh rinoa! I think you'll love your room! Its right next to mine so we can talk and hang out and gasp we can even have a girls night sleepover! Oh it'll be so much fun!" As always, Selphie's mood takes care of everything and before rinoa can say anything she is dragged towards the dorms. She didn't even get to look at squall as she left. Squall watched her leave however. It pained him to see her be taken away, but he'd be damned if he tried to stop selphie when she went on one of her little rampages.

Quistis walked over to squall while watching the girls leave. She was smiling but when they were out of sight her smile faded to a serious expression. She turned to squall and he was pretty sure if her gaze got any more intense he would turn to stone. For a while they said nothing. When a guy walked by them and coughed out "ask her" , squall shifted and gave the guy a look. "What?" Quistis shifted her weight to the other leg, "What is your deal? Are you actually mad at her? Come on squall, lets not be in first grade!" Quistis, being one year older than squall, took the liberty to become kinda like the mom to him and the rest of the team. Most of the time, it really helped too, but this time it was just irritating. Squall turned his head away from quistis, "Its none of your business." "The hell it isn't!" squall turned back to her, "Look. This is between me and Rinoa. Just let us settle it cause we will." "Squall if I leave it to you two, this will go on for months! And I really don't think Rinoa wants to wait that long!"

Squall thought of a come back but failed and just sighed. Quistis relaxed realizing he had given up. "Listen Squall." He looked up from the ground, "I'm not telling you how to live your life, ok? I'm just trying to give you some very helpful advice that you would do good to take into consideration." Squall watched her. "Don't lose Rinoa now that you have her back in your grasp, because of your pride." Squall opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it again. Quistis smiled and turned toward the dorms to check on Rinoa and Selphie.

Squall watched her leave. 'Don't lose rinoa now that you have her back in your grasp'. That was the one thing squall would not let happen. He needed to think. To sort things out. Lets see, where can he just think and have time to sort things out...the gym. Squall headed to his 'fortress of solitude' to think of a way to handle this situation.
