Chapter One - Squall
DAY 1
CHAPTER ONE - SQUALL

I opened my eyes and I was next to Rinoa, who was standing over me.

I jumped and Rinoa laughed.

�What a way to wake me up,� I said.

�You were talking in your sleep again,� Rinoa said.

�I always am,� I replied as I was about to put a shirt on.

Rinoa stopped me, �What�s the rush?�

She kissed me softly and gently.

�I guess there isn�t one,� I said as I threw Rinoa on my bed.  I got on
top of her and kissed her passionately.

�What are you doing?� Rinoa asked as she giggled.

�We�re going to have dinner tonight.  More celebration,� I said.

�That sounds great!� Rinoa cried.  �Now, if you let me, I�d like to get
out of my night gown and get dressed.�

I let her go.


An hour later, Rinoa and I sat in the control room.

�How do you use this thing?� Rinoa asked.

�Usually Zell or Selphie drives,� I replied.

�Does it look like they�re here?  How�d you get it here anyways?�

�Selphie put it on auto-pilot.�

�Is it still on auto-pilot?�

I looked around and then replied with an affirmative.

�Then just type in where to go.�

�Where do you want to go?�

�I�m not sure.  We have five day to do whatever we want.�

�We should see the world - not was warriors or mercenaries - but as
lovers,�

�Well, there�s always Deling City.�

�Where your father is,� I replied.  �What happened to your mother?�

�To Deling City!� Rinoa cried.

I did as she said.  She sounded like she wanted to change the subject. 
Maybe I should�ve never asked her about her mother.  She�s never talked
about her mother and I
don�t really know much about her past.  Maybe it�s painful.  Maybe
she�s embarrased. Maybe I should just stay out of it.

The speed of the Ragnarok was amazing.  You could travel the world in
less than three minutes.  So it didn�t take long until we were at Deling
City.

The street were alwys filled with people.  And as Rinoa and I walked
down the street, we were congradulated. I felt like a superstar.

Rinoa and I went to the Galbadian Hotel.  Immediately, the check-in
lady called to us.

�Welcome to Galbadia Hotel!  You guys are Squall Leonheart and Rinoa
Heartilly!�

The lady was so excited.

�Yes, we are,� Rinoa replied.  She�s been saying that all night long.

�You guys can have a free room!  And I�ll have the bellhop bring your
bags!  Have a drink downstairs.�

We let the bellhop take out things and we took the very eccentric
lady�s advice.  We went to the very elegant bar.  We watched a man play the
piano for a second.

�I�ve never really been here,� I said.

�Only that one time when Ellone used her power and sent you into the
Dream World,� Rinoa brought up.

I remember that.  Ellone sent me to see Laguna�s past to help her.  To
show me what Laguna put up with.

Ellone spent all her time as a child with her Uncle Laguna.  But Esthar
soilders invaded Laguna�s town of Winhill, and took Ellone because the
evil sorceress Adel
wanted her power.  Ellone could sent people though time.  It�s called
time-compression.

Laguna abandoned his wife Raine to look for Ellone.

While Laguna was in Esthar, he was captured.  Raine had a child and
that child was me.

A short time later, my mother died and I was sent to the orphanage at
around the same time as Ellone came.

Then she left me.  I wasn�t sure where she went to, and I wasn�t sure
if I�d ever see her again.

I finally saw her again while I was battling Ultimecia.

The pianst started playing �Eyes On me� - Julia Hertilly�s most famous
song.

�It�s our song, Rinoa,� I said.

She leaned over and kissed me.  �You�re so sweet.�

I put my arm around her.  �Am I still your sorceress�s knight?�

�You�ll always me my knight,� Rinoa replied.

Her heart pressed up against my chest and I put my arms around her.

�I feel so safe in your arms,� Rinoa said.

I just held her.  I liked protectin her.  Not just because I�m a
warrior, but because Rinoa was perfect.  I never felt this way about anyone. 
I liked knowing that she was mine.  That I was her�s.  I gave her my
heart and she gave me her�s.  I think I�m in love.
