-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rinoa had assumed that as more days passed she would forget about what had happened and forget about Squall. But she couldn't shake the thoughts from her mind and so she threw herself into planning the wedding. But it seemed something, maybe fate in someway, would not let her forget. One morning she was getting ready to go to work and was looking for a pair of earrings she had borrowed from Callie, which she needed to return. It was a small thing, a pointless tiny thing, and yet it had such a large effect…

Being rather unorganised, Rinoa had one draw in her room were lots of things just tended to get thrown. She hated it if she ever had to find things in there, because it was so immensely full of junk. She opened the drawer and starting routing amongst things to find Callie's earrings. Receipts, CD's, broken jewellery, books…what wasn't in there? Eventually she found Callie's earrings, after taking almost everything else out.

Realising she was now late, she started hastily piling things back into the draw, but as she picked up one of the books, something fell out and floated to the floor. Leaning down to pick it up, she saw it was a photograph, and she sank down to the floor with all the emotion she suddenly felt.

It was an old photo, of her and Squall, taken on the night they had gotten engaged. Even now Rinoa had to admit it had been an amazing night, and looking at that photograph brought back every last memory of it…

"Okay, smile!" Selphie said, clicking the shutter on the camera "oh my gosh, that's such a cute one!" she sighed happily. She had been taking photographs all night, to commemorate the occasion. It was a big night. Aside form the obvious thing of Squall and Rinoa's engagement it had also been the night of Selphie, Squall and Zell had all graduated as SeeD. After the formal party at which they had all been officially confirmed as SeeD-and at which Squall had proposed- they had all headed into town for a night of celebration. The shiny, dancing lights in the bar seemed to fit how everybody was feeling, everybody was so happy. But Rinoa was happier than anyone, and so much had changed that she was a little overwhelmed. Slipping out, she stood outside in the night, just staring up at the sky. She needed time, just a few minutes to calm down from all the happiness and excitement But she was so happy she felt tears start to fill up her eyes.

"Hey, everything alright, Rinoa?" Squall said, appearing behind her.

"Yeah." she said, wiping her eyes "I'm just so happy."

"you sure?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist :you're not having second thoughts are you?"

"No, of course not. How could I even think about having second thoughts?"

"Just checking."

"No. I just…I am really too happy. I'm just so glad that I found you and so glad you wanted me. I didn't know I could be this happy. I used to think I would never find anybody, but you are just so right for me. I just used to feel so alone and…"

"Forget the past. All that matters is the future. And you're future is with me. You wont feel alone ever again."

"I love you so much Squall"

"I love you too, I always will"

And then they just stood there, watching the stars twinkle in the sky. No one really needed to say anything, it only mattered that they were together. And they started there until it started to turn towards sunrise, and the stars started to fade.

Tears fell from Rinoa's eyes. Why couldn't she forget any of this? Why did these memories have to keep coming back to her? She remembered how beautiful and amazing those stars had been, how they had lit up the sky, as much as love had lit up her life.

But they faded away, just like everything else had faded away. And maybe they never came back.

"I definitely wouldn't know which one to chose." Callie said, shaking her head, her long her swaying, the pink streaks she had recently added catching the light. "it is impossible. They are both perfect…they are both so right for you."

"I don't know either, Callie." Rinoa sighed, looking again at the two dresses Callie was holding up.

They had already spent hours trying to chose the perfect wedding dress. It had been one of the first things towards planning the wedding that she had done. It had been a few weeks since the party now and Rinoa was gradually distancing herself from what had happened. But there were always some reminders. Even this. She really was enjoying choosing her dress and the excitement about marrying Jay were always in the front of her mind. But at the back of her mind were these nagging memories. She'd been through this process before, and she had found the perfect dress, she just never got to wear it. Everything she had contributed to the wedding reminded her of when she planned her first wedding and that only lead to the bitter painful memories of how it ended.

She still had the dress. She knew she shouldn't have kept it really, but she did. It really was the perfect dress, the most beautiful she had ever seen. It was a satin dress, a corset style top leading down to a fitted waist and flowing lace and silk skirt. Underneath there was a thin layer of lace that covered her arms. It truly was perfect, so delicate and beautiful. It was the only dress she could see herself marrying Squall in. And that was why she had kept it. She had-at least until she met Jay-hoped deep down that Squall would come back to her and they would have that dream wedding down to the last detail. As time passed she knew that would never happen but still she could not bring herself to get rid of the dress, it was like part of her in a strange way.

And now she had to chose again. She knew no dress would ever be so perfect, but it didn't feel right even considering marrying Jay in that dress

Rinoa and Callie had narrowed it down to two dresses, both equally beautiful. And after several hours they managed to get it down to one. She found her dress. It was a beautiful, traditional wedding dress. It was a beautiful beaded top with tiny rosettes decorating the straps and flowing sleeves which gracefully flared out at the elbow creating a beautiful silhouette, and the skirt went from a tiny waist outwards to a wide skirt. It really was enchanting, and she loved it. After that the real planning of the wedding needed to start. Next decision was on the bridesmaid dresses (which Callie insisted should be pink) and then there was finalising the decision of were it would take place. There was a small church just outside of Timber that was surrounded by a beautiful field of flowers , away from the towns busyness and that was the place Rinoa wanted. But throughout all this planning, every time she discussed it with Jay there was a feeling of guilt because she couldn't stop thinking how it all had been the first time around. They were going to marry on the beach, her and Squall, at sunset. It was going to beautiful and just their closest friends would be there. It was planned to be what she had always dreamed. But the dream didn't come true, it didn't work out. But now she had a new dream…didn't she?

…

Rinoa knew she shouldn't have been there, but she had to go. She had to talk about it. She loved jay…but she knew the only way to lay to rest all these feeling she had been having was to see him, talk to him one last time. Nervously she knocked on the hotel room door. She didn't even know if he'd be there, she hadn't called, she hadn't even planned to come by, she just had to. It was all so impulsive and last minute. When the door Finally opened Squall was standing there and he locked rather shocked "Rinoa?"

"Can I come in? We need to talk"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So she went to see Squall…we knew she would, right? Hahanah I wonder what she wants to say to him.
