The Dreams Of Gaia

A/N: Sorry that it took so long! My computer went amuck and I had to spend time typing this in school! So...it's my fault (again)...not Griever's Ruler...

Chapter 5- First Meeting


It had been quite some time since Squall and Rinoa had met. It seemed that Rinoa had been pretty upset about the incident and Squall, well...he don't really know what to do. So their two faithful companions decided to meet and discuss what to do next.

"So...what are we going to do now?" Angelo pondered. Griever can be seen putting his paws under his chin...thinking hard.

"How about that, we exchange masters for a day? Let's see what we can do..." Griever said.

Angelo tilted her head aside and pondered for a while, and then she nodded her head. "All right, we shall exchange masters for a day"

"Then, we shall bring them here if they wanted to formally meet each other again." Griever added.

Angelo nodded and they set to do their tasks.


At Rinoa's side...

Griever stepped onto the unknown place Angelo had called home. Slowly, he scanned the area around and finally found the person he looking for. As he walked towards the beach, he realised that some of the creatures he never met seem to be afraid of him as he could seen them running towards Rinoa.

Rinoa, who had sensed that her creatures were rather frightened, turned around and saw that Griever was looking at her.

I think we have not been properly introduced. I am Griever, one of the creatures created by my master Squall. I am Angelo's friend as well. Griever told her when he realised that she had been looking at him strangely.

Where's Angelo? Rinoa finally asked.

She's with my master. We decided to exchange master for a day and get to know you guys better. Griever answered.

Ok then, what do you want to know? Rinoa came straight to the point.

Well...I was wondering...if you could forgive my master? I am sure he didn't mean to be rude that day. He told me that he just wanted to know how you em...feel like. Griever answered. Oh boy...right now he felt like a sort of messenger defending for his master.

How I felt like? Rinoa eyes wide in shock. Then she felt an emotion that she never felt before. It was like a tiny heat through her body...but yet, she couldn't really describe it.

Turning away from Griever, she told him. Tell your master that we are no different from each other...I think.

Well, maybe you should meet each again. Formally introduce each other. Maybe it may clear up some misunderstanding? Griever reasoned.

Thinking for a while, Rinoa nodded. Then she turned to her creatures and she said,

Stay here. I will not be gone for long.

And with that, she followed Griever to the place of meeting.


At Squall's side...

Angelo walked into the dark forested area. She had never been to this place before. Rinoa had forbid her to even go anyway near it. Soon, she realised that she had reached her target when she saw a lone figure sitting on top of a rock.

When Angelo tried to go near him, she was immediately stopped by a group of fearsome creatures.

Never mind, I know this fellow. Squall sent the message to his creatures. They backed away.

I presumed that you are the other...well...almost same as me...creature? Squall asked.

Yes, I am. I'm Angelo. Angelo replied.

Did your master send you to find me? Squall asked.

Angelo shook her head. No. Griever and I decided to change masters for a day. I just wanted to know more about you.

Squall looked and her and said,

Then what do you want to know about? If it was on that day when I tried to touch your master, I am sorry about it. I didn't know what I was thinking on that day.

Maybe you should tell my master yourself. My master had been quite upset over the past few days over this matter. Angelo answered.

Thinking for a moment, Squall replied,

I guess, I better apologise to your master personally. Turning to his creature, he told them. I will be right back.

And with that, Squall followed Angelo to the place of meeting.


At the site of the meeting...

Squall and Rinoa finally met after what seemed to be like a long time. For quite a while, none of them had started speaking. Angelo and Griever took it as a cue to leave them alone.

"Are you going to start speaking or are we just going to continued staring at each other?" Rinoa asked, breaking the silence.

"I...err...I am sorry for the last time we met. No offence...I hope."

Squall started.

Rinoa shook her head and said, "None taken"

Reaching her hand out, she said, "I am Rinoa...you?"

Squall took as a sign as something to introduce himself and he reached out his hand and replied, "Squall"

When both their hands touched, both of them felt something. It was unusually warm and of some reason, both of them liked this new feeling. They both withdrew their hands immediately when they realised that they had been holding each other's hands for too long and were staring at each other.

Rinoa felt that heat inside her again and so was Squall. Both of them, for a moment, were rather confused on what it really was.

"So, shall we sit down and talk?" Squall asked.

"Well...sure...maybe we can learn from each other..." Rinoa said and both of them sat down...and began to talk about what they knew...from the day they arrived up to now.


Back to Angelo and Griever...

"Do you think that they will get along?" Angelo pondered. Griever shrugged and said, "Let's hope they do. After all, they lived in the same place..."

Angelo nodded, "Shall we go back soon?" Griever shook his head, "Nah, let's give them more time to know more about each other." Angelo agreed and they took a long stroll...


Back to Squall and Rinoa...

"You decided to name yourself the first name you came up with? That's weird. I cannot imagine myself being called 'Blue'." Rinoa laughed. Right now, they were talking about the first name they had come up with since they came to this world.

"Do you call that colour?" Squall pointing to the sky, "Blue too?"

Rinoa nodded her head. "Sure. It looks like we have quite a number of common terms,"

"Sure do." Squall answered.

"I heard from Angelo that when you want to talk about someone else, you use 'he' and 'him'...right?" Rinoa asked.

"Yes, kind of. You use 'she' and 'her'...right?"

"Yes. I am thinking...why don't we make it as a difference between two of us?"

Squall nodded. "It is possible. So the next time, we know whose creatures we are talking about."

Just then, both Angelo and Griever arrived.

"Is time to go master. It's dinner time." Griever requested.

Squall got up from where he was sitting and said to Rinoa,

"Same time same place tomorrow?" Squall asked.

"Yes, see you soon." Rinoa answered.

As Squall and Griever walked away, Angelo winked at Griever, who in turn, returns the wink. It seemed that both of them, in their hearts, knew that both of their masters were getting along well and hopefully, the place was to be a much more wonderful place to live.


A/N: So...can you guess what feeling they were feeling right now? Bet you do! Till the next chapter...R&R!
