Leon: This is the only tree of its kind here. So I guess this is it, Squall's favorite tree. (*walking around the tree he notices something unusual) HUH?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leon: HUH? What's this? (*He read the scratched words on the tree) I hate myself, I hate my life. I don't want to live in this lonely world. (*mockingly smiled at the message) there goes weirdo numero dos. (*weirdo number two*) Hmm.. (* I got an idea)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ellone: (*singing "Eyes on me" while packing up her things) .Did you ever know, that I had mine on you, Darling so there you are.. (*the children in the orphanage just sit at their respected beds and listen to Ellone)
Orphan #1: (*looking admiringly at Ellone) Ohh I really like your voice sis Ellone.
Orphan #2: Yeah
Orphans: (*smiles)
Ellone: (*chuckles) Oh no, I'm not good. You should all hear my friend Rinoa. She sings like an angel. (*~wonder if she's ok, I missed her; maybe I'll call her when I get back home)

Rinoa: (*staring at the chocobos) Lucky creatures they don't have to worry a thing. All they've got to do is to play the whole day.
??????: And unlucky for you, all you've got to do is to mourn that dead boy.
???????: Eh? Quit that! You're starting again.
Rinoa: Seifer! Selphie!
Seifer: We're looking over Winhill for you.
Selphie: whew! It's getting dark, maybe we should head back home guys. (*shivers)
Seifer: Oh come on Sephie, don't be a kill joy. It's nice to stroll around Winhill at this time.
Rinoa: (*thumping the sharp edge stone at the chocobo's fence) ...
Seifer: Where did you get that Eh?
Rinoa: (*throwing the stone) Oh nothing.
Seifer: There's no stone like that here at the chocobo's area, hmm I saw that kind of rock near that old cherry tree. Don't say you go there "cry baby".
Rinoa: (*annoyed) Ohhh Seifer you're so irritating!
Selphie: Calm down Rinoa and Seifer, Stop that please.
Seifer: Sephie, let's go to the cherry tree. I want to see there "meeting place".
Rinoa: Oh no! please don't go there. Um.
Selphie: Meeting place? What do you mean by that Seifer?
Seifer: She and that Squall, called that cherry tree, their meeting place. Do you want to see it Sephie?
Selphie: Sure thing!
Rinoa: (*thinks of a way for them not to go there) Oh please don't go there, it's already dark .
Seifer: Afraid of the dark missy?
Rinoa: Of course not! But.um I don't want to.
Seifer: Cry?
Rinoa: (*ohhh I hate him when he's doing that) NO? I'm not a cry baby! It's just that.that.
Selphie: That?

Rinoa: (*~oh brother, I wish I never said those words) You don't want to go, right Sephie?
Selphie: Um. bo-boogieman? Is it scary Rinoa?
Rinoa: Yeah! I saw him when I was just um .11 years old, he was hiding at the back of the cherry tree and he got big scary eyes! And um.
Selphie: (*stared at Rinoa) ..

Raine: Rinoa and my son's Meeting place?
Laguna: It's that old cherry tree, Raine-dear.
Raine: Oh I see.

Raine: Oh Laggy dear don't you think Leon and Rinoa would make a very good couple? (*giggled)
Laguna: Yes indeed. Heheh
Seifer: Duh.
Leon: Whatever.plus I don't want to steal anybody's girl.
Laguna: Ohhhh I smell jealousy here heheh.
Raine: my heart is pounding deep inside.
Seifer: Good decision commander.
Selphie: Stop pretending Seifer.
Leon and Seifer: Pretending?
Leon: what do you mean Selphie?
Laguna: Don't worry Leon, he's not Rinoa's boyfriend.
Raine: Ohh what a relief.. (*blinking)
Leon: (*~are they teasing me?)
Selphie: He's just her. (*Seifer covers Selphie's mouth)
Leon: Let her talk Seifer.
Seifer: (*Changing the topic) Oh Selphie let's check out the cherry tree tomorrow morning. You know, the "love notes".
Leon: Love notes? (*~ geez my letter!) Hey you're changing the topic!
Laguna: Leon wants to know! Leon wants to know! (*~Heck, why am I pushing Leon to my son's girl. But I got to admit, they'll make a good couple just like what my Raine-dear said)
Raine: Seifer tell him what's your real relationship with Rinoa.
Seifer: B-but ma'am..oh he's my wife.
Leon: Wife?
Raine: Seifer?
Selphie: Seifer please tell our commander.
Laguna: If he doesn't want to talk then I'll talk.
Seifer: Ok, fine. Duh! Commander, she's my cousin. There happy?
Leon: Hmm tell me why are you claiming that she's your girl when if fact she's your relative?
Seifer: To protect her ok?
Leon: Protect her? Heck! I'm not going to eat her or what?
Laguna: He's only going to ask her to be his gf. heheh
Leon: Whatever.
Seifer: How about Quistis?
Laguna: Ohh didn't know you already got a girl. Ohh too bad.
Selphie: Our Instructor?
Leon: what about her?
Seifer: We all know that she got a big crush on you. She's dying to have you as her boyfriend.
Selphie: Ahem let me correct that statement, ALL of the girls in the garden were dying to have him as their boyfriend.
Seifer: You're not giving her the chance? Why not her?
Laguna: Opps.Seifer you cannot force a heart to love someone.
Raine: Especially when that heart belongs to someone else.
Laguna and Raine: (*winks at Leon) Right Leon?
Leon: (*blushes but he tried to hide it) I think I'm through eating. Thanks for the appetizing dinner Mrs. Raine. (*gets his plate and place it at the sink) I'm going to my room.
Selphie: Oh Leon.
Laguna: Selphie, why not introduce your commander to Rinoa.
Selphie: What a great idea Mr. Laguna!
Raine: Yeah!
Seifer: ...
Leon: I'm too sleepy, good night everyone. (*he went to his room upstairs)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rinoa: There you go! I'll post this letter tomorrow morning. (*yawns) Good night Meany (*looking at the letter)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leon: (*lying in his bed, he looked at the picture hanging on the wall) (*~So.that's Rinoa. She must've suffered a lot all these years due to that tragedy. Rinoa. I want to meet her. Wait, did I just say that? )

Selphie: Stop pretending Seifer.
Leon and Seifer: Pretending?
Leon: what do you mean Selphie?
Laguna: Don't worry Leon, he's not Rinoa's boyfriend.
Raine: Ohh what a relief.. (*blinking)
Leon: (*~are they teasing me?)
Selphie: He's just her. (*Seifer covers Selphie's mouth)
Leon: Let her talk Seifer.
Seifer: (*Changing the topic) Oh Selphie let's check out the cherry tree tomorrow morning. You know, the "love notes".
Leon: Love notes? (*~ geez my letter!) Hey you're changing the topic!
Laguna: Leon wants to know! Leon wants to know! (*~Heck, why am I pushing Leon to my son's girl. But I got to admit, they'll make a good couple just like what my Raine-dear said)
Raine: Seifer tell him what's your real relationship with Rinoa.
Seifer: B-but ma'am..oh he's my wife.
Leon: Wife?
Raine: Seifer?
Selphie: Seifer please tell our commander.
Laguna: If he doesn't want to talk then I'll talk.
Seifer: Ok, fine. Duh! Commander, she's my cousin. There happy?
Leon: Hmm tell me why are you claiming that she's your girl when if fact she's your relative?
Seifer: To protect her ok?
Leon: Protect her? Heck! I'm not going to eat her or what?
Laguna: He's only going to ask her to be his gf. heheh
Leon: Whatever.
Seifer: How about Quistis?
Laguna: Ohh didn't know you already got a girl. Ohh too bad.
Selphie: Our Instructor?
Leon: what about her?
Seifer: We all know that she got a big crush on you. She's dying to have you as her boyfriend.
Selphie: Ahem let me correct that statement, ALL of the girls in the garden were dying to have him as their boyfriend.
Seifer: You're not giving her the chance? Why not her?
Laguna: Opps.Seifer you cannot force a heart to love someone.
Raine: Especially when that heart belongs to someone else.
Laguna and Raine: (*winks at Leon) Right Leon?
Leon: (*blushes but he tried to hide it) I think I'm through eating. Thanks for the appetizing dinner Mrs. Raine. (*gets his plate and place it at the sink) I'm going to my room.
Selphie: Oh Leon.
Laguna: Selphie, why not introduce your commander to Rinoa.
Selphie: What a great idea Mr. Laguna!
Raine: Yeah!
Seifer: ...
Leon: I'm too sleepy, good night everyone. (*he went to his room upstairs)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rinoa: There you go! I'll post this letter tomorrow morning. (*yawns) Good night Meany (*looking at the letter)

Leon: (*lying in his bed, he looked at the picture hanging on the wall) (*~So.that's Rinoa. She must've suffered a lot all these years due to that tragedy. Rinoa. I want to meet her. Wait, did I just say that? )
