Everytime We Touch

Alternate Ending

Dagger, Eiko, Vivi, and Doctor Tot got off the lift, went through the hallway, walked up the stairs, talked to the guards, and went inside the Royal Chamber. Two seconds later a man none other than Regent Cid came through the doors. "Queen Garnet! Wonderful to see you again!" said Cid. Eiko ran up to Regent and hugged him. "Hi father!" she said happily. "Hello princess. Are you all here to see Zidane Tribal?" Cid asked. Dagger stepped up slowly. "Yes. Please, where may I find him?" Cid racked his brains and told her, "In the guest room. But you may want to be cautious.'' Dagger gave him a confused look, thanked him, and went out the door.

"C'mon! Let's follow her!" Eiko said ushering Vivi and Tot out the door. "Dagger!" Eiko and the gang caught up with her. "We're gonna see him together!" Dagger smiled. "Yes! Let's move! I wonder what the regent meant when he said that though." Everyone boarded the lift. "I have some good news! The Tauntalus gave me a potion that can really help Zidane!" Dagger said excitedly. "Whoo! That's great! Now Zidane will be okay!" Eiko said jumping up and down. The lift stopped and they got out. "C'mon!" said Dagger. They ran up the steps and in the room they went. When Dagger went up, she heard very familiar voices.

"Freya? Quina? Amarant? What are you all doing here!" asked Vivi. "Visiting…Zidane…please don't be sad Dagger," said Freya quietly. Quina sniffed said sadly, "He taught me yummy yummies are everywhere…but I no can find any right now…" The 'Flaming Amarant' came too. "I don't have a stupid rematch anymore," mumbled Amarant.

Dagger and co. ran up and saw Zidane. "Zidane!" Dagger cried. He was laying down looking bad and breathing pretty hard. "Hey guys…" said Zidane weakly. Dagger sat on the edge of his bed and looked at him her eyes glimmering again. "Zidane! I really missed you!" Dagger gave him a quick hug and handed him the potion. "How could a crash do anything this serious?"

"Me and Bobby fell off the top tower. Into the water by the dock…" The blonde said panting slightly. "Oh no…please Zidane…" said Dagger. Zidane looked into Dagger's eyes. "Don't worry about me Daggs…'' There was dead silence for a minute. "Zidane," Vivi said suddenly. "I'm really g-glad you're alive. All the Black Mages are wishing for your safety. So is Mikoto." He sat down on the edge of the bed too. "Heh, it's good to know their doing fine," said Zidane with a sigh. "Hey, where's rusty?"

"He and Beatrix are watching over Alexandria for a while," said Eiko, tears falling down her face. "Zidane, if you don't mind me asking…how did you get out of the Iifa Tree?" Dagger asked. Zidane gave Dagger a small, yet weak, smile. "That's easy Dagger." He looked at everyone and closed his eyes. "I sang our song."

"Zidane, take the potion that Garnet gave you. That tree's violent reaction also includes the emission of deadly poison. It can kill someone in a short amount of time," Tot said waddling up and sitting in a nearby chair. Dagger nodded at Zidane.

"Okay. Here goes nothing!" Zidane said, about to tip the contents of the bottle in his mouth when it fell to the floor and broke, the glass scattering everywhere. "Ahhh…geez my head is spinning!" Zidane said loudly. "Zidane!" Dagger cried. "I think this is the aftereffect!" Tot said horrified. Zidane fell out of the bed. "Dagger…the aftereffect is…gonna…kill me…so I wanna tell you…I love you…" Zidane's hand fell limp. "No…ZIDANE!" Dagger cried. Vivi, Eiko and Tot were in shock.

Please don't leave me…

…I can't live without you…

…But…I'll see you again one day, Zidane…

…So, goodbye for now…

…Aisiteiru…

The End
