Reflections in the Heart

Disclaimer: I don't own FF9, I own my muses and my sword, that's it peoples.
A/N: Second part of the double update, and it's Beatrix! Beatrix is my favorite female character after Freya: in fact she almost makes up for the last chapter alone. And she has a sword . And I'm working on the side-fic, it should be out soon. I've decided to call it This Is No Fairytale after the last line in this chapter. The Prologue should be up.
Warnings: Same as first chapter. Random foreshadowing.
Critical Reflections (Beatrix)
If love is blind then lust must be deaf.
The Princess can't see past her supposed 'love' for Zidane. She doesn't see that she's acting like a hormonal schoolgirl with her first crush. She doesn't see that she's only in love with the idea of Zidane, with the idea of a hero, not with the actual person who is not as perfect as her daydreams make him out to be.
She and Steiner are two peas in a pod; they both know next to nothing about love and have convinced each other that she is head-over-heels, deeply and madly in love with the poor guy. You can't help but pity him.
It's only a small crush, which will eventually fade with time. This I am hoping for, because if Zidane was ever going to love someone who was not Kuja he would not fall for someone who's love is as obviously false as Garnet's.
If Zidane was going to love anyone, it would be Blank. The redhead would die for the blonde, no questions asked just as long as Zidane was happy in the end. This was proven in the Evil Forest when he was sacrificed himself for his love. Garnet doesn't like him that much; because subconsciously she knows that if her fairytale doesn't become reality and Zidane's fairytale doesn't become reality, meaning he doesn't get Kuja, he is going to end up with Blank.
I wish them both a long and happy life because this is no fairytale.

BloodyChaos: "I absolutely adore this chapter, it completely makes up for the last chapter…I heart BlankxZidane almost as much as I heart KujaxZidane."
Zach: "You are weird."
BloodyChaos: "Oh and if you get the chance go check out the side-fic: This Is No Fairytale which is set sometime before they open the gate to Terra... so far only the prologue is up."
