A/N: I know it's pretty short, but enjoy. :)

Thanks: M. L. Ayala, my beta reader. Without her, I'd be lost.

P. - Promised

The sky had never looked this blue before and the sun was shining brightly, leaving absolutely no room for clouds to appear in the overly blue sky. Rinoa loved the way it warmed her skin and made the cold around her slowly melt away. She hadn't felt this alive for quite a while, free from the burden that saddened her. And then the lovely flowery scent that penetrated her nostrils. To be honest, she wouldn't mind staying here all day.

Of course, that wasn't the main reason why she was here.

He had promised her that they would meet again in the flower fields, so she was waiting patiently for that day to come.

Like a promised land. Their safe haven, where nothing (no one) could harm them. A place where they could be together, find each other when they were lost. The raven-haired girl really missed him. His warm embrace that would always manage to ease her mind, as soon as she let herself sink in his arms... His deep voice and reassuring words about how everything would be alright in the end. She would always believe him, because she knew he would never lie to her... His steady heartbeat that she felt more rather than heard... The way he would allow her to fall right in his arms. She longed for all of it.

However, minutes turned into hours, into days, and there was still no trace of Squall. It made her start doubting. Why wasn't he here already? Did he forget about time? Was he lost? Did he... Could he really have forgotten about the promise they made? No, that couldn't be true. That wasn't like Squall. He never forgot anything, especially when it was this important. He cared about her, right? Even if he never tried to show it.

The ebony-haired teen sighed. "Maybe... waiting isn't good enough."

Perhaps she should act now (before it was too late?). If he wasn't coming here by himself, then he might be in trouble (or worse...). She should bring him here herself, even if that was the last thing she would do.

If only there was a way she could-

That was when realization dawned upon her, making her laugh lightly. "Oh. Of course! Why didn't I think of that earlier?"

The young woman smiled, shaking her head. All that worrying about Squall had almost forget about her Sorceress powers.
