I'll be making more chapters soon. Try not to laugh too hard or cry too much. Chapter I "Come on, we have to get to Balamb Garden soon to speak with the Headmaster. Hurry up!" -said a mysterious voice "Oh, come on! Is this dress good? Is it too bright, or not bright enough? Does it match my..." -before she could finish her sentence, "Yeah, yeah, it's fine!! Now let's go already! Gosh!" So, the girl and her friend got to Balamb Garden. But, that was when the SeeD's had their dance. And the girl was there, looking for the Headmaster. But she never expected to find the first and last love of her life. Squall was just sitting on the wall, watching everyone else dancing and not joining in himself. I wonder why. A waitress came up to Squall, looking mean and cold as always. "W, would you like a drink, Sir?" -asked the waitress. Squall snatched the drink off the platter quickly and sipped it slowly to have an excuse not to dance. Zell ran up to him, excited to dance with all the girls. "Yo, Squall, you havin' fun, right?" Squall sipped his drink loudly to make it seem like he was saying no. "Ok, I'll take that as a yes! Time to find me some....."-Zell was too far away to hear the last word.....ahh, you were thinking of something else he was going to say, weren't you?! Haha, ok let's continue..... So, then Selphie came up to Squall and asked him about joining the you-know-what. "So, Squall! Have you thought about joining? It's alotta fun!" -Squall sipped his drink loudly again to signal no. "Okie! I'll take that as a yes!!! YAY! We'll start working on it tomorrow!"-Squall let out a deep sigh. He then took a look at all the girls in the room. Man, I wished there were some prettier girls here. Wait, that's stupid. Who needs girls anyway? As he thought that, he was looking at a bright shooting star falling near by. Then, he looked down, and saw THE most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his long 17 years of life. He had no clue what her name was. Then he remembered he didn't really like girls. Acting like a 7 year old, he quickly turned away when the girl and he made eye contact. The girl wearing a bright, maze coloured dress grinned at him and quickly walked towards him, forgetting what she came to the school for. The girl asked, "Hi, what's your name?" Squall replied with a loud slurp from his drink, still full, only sipping when someone came by. "Slurp? That's a funny name. Mine's Rinoa." Rinoa huh? Even her name's beatiful....hey! I don't like girls!-Squall reminded himself once again. Squall looked at her coldly and walked away with his leg a little cramped up. Like Uncle like Nephew. Rinoa followed him and grabbed his arm to dance. Squall attempted many times to free his arm, but deep down, he didn't want her to let go. So, he stopped struggling, and gazed at her walk, and strangely, tried to memorize her scent. So, Rinoa got Squall on the dance floor and put on of his hands on her shoulder, the other on her hip, and they started dancing....at least Rinoa was. Squall looked confused and bumped into others dancing. His dancing skills were horrible. He quickly learned though, trying not to be embarrased in front of this cute girl. So, they danced, and stopped for the fireworks. The large, red, green, blue and white fireworks were astounding, and in Squall and Rinoa's crimson eyes, was a reflection of the fireworks and them together. But, then Rinoa saw the Headmaster and walked away to what seemed she was walking towards Seifer. Squall realized what he tried to convince himself about girls. So, he walked off to his dormitory without even saying a word. Squall didn't even change clothes, or wash up, he carefully made sure NOT to wash his hands though. It was after curfew, and Selphie was just now getting back. She seemed a little drunk.... "Squall, will you be here for me, always?" "If you come here, you will fiind me. I promise" Squall seemed to be so happy to see Rinoa after the long night. He didn't even think about him not liking girls; it never even crossed his mind. He took Rinoa'' hand, and put a ring on her ring finger on her left hand, and gently slid it through her soft, smooth hands, got down on one knee, and asked: "Rinoa, will you be my wife, and allow me into your heart until the end of time?" "Squall, I....- Before Rinoa could answer, Squall woke up, in a cold sweat. "Arrrrgh! What the hell is wrong with me?!?!? I keep thinking about that....beautiful........err stupid girl, and now I dream about asking to marry her!!! Goddammit, what is wrong. Maybe if I ignore her, she'll go away? -Squall said in a loud voice. Luckily, he had the dorm to himself so no one heard him. Squall went to the cafeteria to get something to eat, where he saw her sipping orange juice while sitting at a table in the back. Squall got his food, walked behind her, and his reflection was in the orange juice. Rinoa saw it and quickly turned to greet him. He was gone.
