Childhood Memories

Chapter 6: Romance By The River

Zidane glared at Celia who stood there looking down at the ground with the money in her hand. Zidane gave out a sigh and walked through the crowd leaving Celia there.

"ZIDANE! WAIT! I DIDN'T-," Celia yelled. Zidane then stopped with his back facing Celia.

"-Mean it! Your right, then it must've been an accident. Grabbing her necklace that she had for the past 10 years and selling it to a guy for money sounds reasonable." Zidane just gave her another disappointed glare again.

But this time she was looking right at him. Zidane just turned back around and continued to walk through the crowd.

Missy's P.O.V

I stood on the bridge where we saved Saul. I leaned against the railing with my head down. I was still crying! I tried to stop myself by thinking of positive thoughts but it always ended up turning into negative thoughts. And I cried even more! I looked down into the water reflection to see a girl looking at me.

She looked so sad I couldn't stand her face. But it was my own reflection! So I grabbed for a rock and gripped onto it. I lifted it above my head. I didn't want to see that face! I wanted to throw something at that face so badly. I was right about to throw the rock at the girls face when someone grabbed my hand preventing me from throwing it.

I turned around to see…Zidane! I brought my hand down and the rock fell out of my hand. I was still crying so I turned away from him. I didn't want him to see me like this! But with his finger he moved my face back around so that we were eye to eye. I couldn't help but to cry even more. I didn't know what to do!

"ZIDANE!" I yelled as I jumped into his arms. Zidane's eyes widened of shock. I embraced him tight and cried on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me close. I kept on crying…We were like this for the longest time. I don't know but just being with him made me feel more relaxed.

I pulled away from him when I was able to calm myself down. I looked up at him with that sad face I had on.

"Zidane…I'm sorry! T-The necklace you gave me is broken. I promised myself not to take it off but I forgot to put it back on. I thought it would be safe to keep it off for that one night. I never thought that-," the tears started to form in my eyes again.

"Don't worry about it!" Zidane said looking at me with that grin on his face.

"How can you say that? I do worry! I loved that necklace. A-And now it's gone!" I said still staring at him with my watery eyes.

"Why is it so important to you?" he asked nicely, with those eyes and that grin. I looked down at the ground.

"Because…I-,"

"HEY MISSY! ZIDANE!" Saul yelled running towards us. Zidane quickly let go of my waist. Saul ran up to me and hid behind my back.

"Saul, what's wrong?" I asked, but he just looked forward with his scared eyes.

"I sense something close by." Saul said looking at a tree near by. I looked in the direction he was looking to find a shadow. But this shadow wasn't the trees.

The shadow then moved out from behind the tree into the light of the day. Revealing its real identity.

"Garnet?" I gazed over to the figure. Garnet stood there just gazed at us.

"Look, it's Garnet!" I said. But Saul and Zidane just stood there looking at her with serious faces on. They also had their fists clenched. How rude! They didn't even welcome her. I rolled my eyes at them and ran up to Garnet.

"Garnet, it's nice to-," Garnet pushed me away. Causing me to fly to the tree she was by. It was like she had an extra boost of strength. Saul rushed up to me, but Zidane stood in front of me facing Garnet. He grabbed out his dagger and got into his fighting stance.

"Who are you?" he asked with an angry face on.

"Hmp. I've heard about you! Nosy boy you are. Always butting into others business" she said with a grin on.

"Who sent you?" Zidane asked with that same angry face on.

"(snickers) Very nosy!" Garnet snickered.

"TELL ME!" Zidane yelled getting impatient.

"All right then! I was sent by Sidluca Gaku. But I doubt you know who that is." She explained.

"Why are you using Garnet's body?" Zidane asked.

"Hmp. Look! I'm not here to answer your questions. So move, and let me take that girl." She said.

"In your life, bastard!" he yelled.

But she just walked right pass Zidane towards me, but Zidane pushed her to the ground and raised his dagger above his head.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. This body is still Garnet's! You kill me, and she dies." She said on the ground with Zidane standing next to her.

Zidane looked at her pissed. So Zidane brought his hand down.

"Hmp. I'm not done with her yet! But be sure that I'll come back for the girl." She said. She then vanished. Zidane stood there with his dagger still held in his hand.

"DAMMIT!" Zidane yelled as he dropped down to his knees.

"Are you okay?" Saul asked me.

"Yeah!" I then got up falling back down to the ground in pain.

"What's wrong?" Saul asked me.

"I think I twisted my knee!" I said sitting on the ground. Zidane looked back at me and got up and walked up to me. He placed his hand on my knee and started to push in different spots until- "AHH!" I screamed.

"She twisted her knee real good." Zidane said. "We need to bring her back to the village."

Zidane grabbed my hand and pulled me up but I fell back to the ground.

"I-I don't want to walk! It really hurts when I do." I said looking up at him.

"I can help!" a voice spoke from behind the tree. Celia! What is she doing here? She walked out from behind the tree and walked towards us. She bent down towards me.

"Hold still. This might hurt!" she placed her hand on my knee and I heard a big POP!

"AHHH!" I yelled grabbing onto my knee.

"There! That should do it! You have to keep off of it for a while." She said looking at me.

"For how long?" Zidane asked.

"For about 2 days or so." She explained.

"2 days!?" he yelled. Celia nodded her head.

"I'm afraid so!" Celia explained.

Celia got back up and started to walk off.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I don't know! I guess back to the alley to sleep." Celia explained.

"Why don't you stay with us?" I said smiling at her. Zidane looked at me shocked.

"But we have to go to Lindblum! It's pretty far!" Zidane said looking at me.

"Lindblum? I've always wanted to go there!" Celia said excited.

"Okay! Then it's decided. Let's go to Lindblum!" I said.

"Let's go!" Saul said already walking across the bridge. Celia followed behind him.

"Come on!" Zidane said. "Climb onto my back!"

"A-Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded his head.

He bent down. And I grabbed onto his shoulder and he grabbed my legs. He then stood up straight.

"Whoa!" I said losing my balance.

"Hold on tight! You don't want to fall off" he said continuing to follow Saul and Celia. I blushed and moved in closer to Zidane's back. And wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I was just wondering but, why did you let Celia come with us?" he asked with a low voice so that the others didn't hear.

"My foster mom always taught me to always forgive a person because when it comes time for somebody for forgive you, they always will."

"Really?" he asked still looking ahead of him.

"Yeah." I answered.

I then let out a yawn. I was so tired from crying all day. That must've been a record or something. I tried to stay awake until Zidane spoke.

"Why don't you rest? I'll wake you up when we get there." He said still walking.

So I laid my head on his shoulder next to his head. I didn't really care at that time because I was already half way asleep. I closed my eyes and fell asleep…

Zidane looked at me to see I was sleeping. He let out a smile and turned back around and continued to walk.

Okay, you probably think that Missy is SOOOO stupid that she forgives Celia for what she did. Don't worry! It's part of my PLAN. Anywaaayyy, R&R!
