Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Squall, you're the one who gives me the most comfort. Comfort and happiness... And annoyance and disappointment, too!"

"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute. Did you just joke? Oh wow! Squall Leonhart can make a joke! " Rinoa teased, playfully nudging him in the shoulder.She didn't even know who had said those words, as she wasn't there to hear Laguna say them obviously. Still it was an obvious joke. He wasn't one to speak like that! As they got there way out of the elevator, and she proceeded to slip by the two love birds there, she couldn't help but wonder. What would Squall's reaction be had she ever tried such a silly thing like that Phoenix women did? The thought made her cheeks flush red, best not to go into day -dream mode here! Still, her mind went on, as she started to picture such silly little scenes in her mind, causing her to giggle accidentally.

Meanwhile, behind her Selphie and Irvine would walk along behind them. The young teens arm slipped around Irvine's as she walked still with his hat on. "Of course! I -rock- the joint when I have my specialty! And you with you're gun, we could so kick but together. Selphie and the sharp shooter, Irvy!" At what he said next, a small grin spread over her features. "Oh, really? I wonder if a girl named Selphie could swoop in to steal herself a cowboy?"

Glancing at the blushing Rinoa, Selphie blinked a few times, her eyes looking to what she was looking at, and, as she looked at her again, a smug evil little grin would show once more. "Rinoa?" She stepped over to her, waving a hand infront of her face.No response! "Hey! Ohhhhh..." Giggling, she looked toward Phoenix and Nero. "I see.....Let's see...She's day-dreaming that's her and her lovie dovie Squallie-pie! So, who in you're vision is on top? " She gave her a small nudge. "Squall? Tee-hee...Yep, it has to be..with how red on the face you are...You're such a day-dreamer, Miss Princess!" Oh how she loved to tease poor Rinoa when it came to Squall, but seeing as he was -right- there, this was pretty much embarrassing for the blue clad Sorceress!

Rinoa stood there, her face as red as a rose. Was Selphie trying to kill her?! Why did she have to say that in front of Squall!? Yes, she could so die right now! "......!! I-I......I'm going....ahead..! " And like a flash, Rinoa ran lout of there as fast as possible! She wasn't angry, just ..beyond embarrassed like never before.

Phoenix laughed nervously, looking away a moment. Sure it was obvious she didn't let Sakura win. There was no denying that to Nero of all people! After Sakura had slipped and fell, Phoenix finally calmed herself of her laughter just enough to show her how the real pounces were done, the older Phoenix of the future grinned down at her husband below her. "Always, No one else can succeed in pouncing you my love.." She said playfully, not even there daughters! But still, regardless there were quite a few of them who seemed to do that, like the crazy Ariana. She rarely failed! She saw the group then, but just ignored them as she finally slipped off him, and held her hand to help him up next. As Sakura announced she was leaving though Phoenix watched her leave, frowning slightly.And here she was hoping they would have some cute family time together for once! "Hey....Wait! Ah...geez. " Sighing heavily, she just kept a mental lock on her to 'watch' her that way. Any sort of strange movements from her daughter and she would be there in a flash. Yes, her powers had grown greatly over the many years so much she could track her very movements by her presence.

"I don't want the future.. I just want the present to stand still.. So I can stay here with you."

- Future Phoenix Lylatt -

"Squall, you're the one who gives me the most comfort. Comfort and happiness... And annoyance and disappointment, too!"

"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?"

Meanwhile, Rinoa strolled along the plains from the Garden, following the tracks about three miles away from the Garden to find.............A trashed car, rather, beyond trashed. It wasn't burning anymore, just a little smoke would ploom up into the air, but not much.Now, had the future Phoenix not told her Sakura was okay, she would be freaking out beyond all means.And she wasn't even mad, all that mattered that Sakura was okay. "How did she manage to get out of that one, I wonder? " Turning away, Rinoa started on her way back toward the garden with a heavy, annoyed sigh.

"I don't want the future.. I just want the present to stand still.. So I can stay here with you."

Alphonse had just changed clothing after showering he laid the bloodstained ones down on the floor taking his trench coat and laying it down over a chair. The young blond teen reached over his hands taking off a heavy set of bandages biting his lip,they had usually been covered but with the coat off it revealed a blue sleeveless shirt with a rip going through the middle of it. He looked at his arms frowning greatly, scars covering them. They didn't seem to belong there, he closed his eyes now. Letting his blond hair fall infront of themas he sat down on a bed leaning against the wall. He looked up at the ceiling and spoke,"Why don't I feel bad for murdering him?"He tossed the Necklace onto a desk nearby.

Alphonse shook his head slowly and slammed his fist into the wall,speaking quietly he bit his lip grumbling," I hate this!" He pulled his fist back pushing his hand through his hair saying," Dammit!" He drew his fist back again punching the wall,his fist dented it a bit and he cringed the bandages on his arms and hand started to grow red and he spoke,"Im so pathetic." He switched hands and punched with his other one not even bothering to deal with the bleeding arm now. " ....RAGE!" He started to punch again,doing this for a long time until the bandages were completely soaked. His eyes were both red now and he let his arms fall to his sides, as he spoke to himself," Why did I have to see her again? After so long..." "Shut up!" He yelled at himself, before drawing the Hyperion V2," Just shut up!"He swung the Gunblade into a mirror nearby him, he spoke quietly," All I do.. is not run away... just move aside...".

Alphonse had set it to head towards Ultimecias Castle. Walking down throughout the huge Garden. Walking towards the large fountain area, it was odd not many people actually stayed in galbadia Garden. It might have it to do with being a big part of Ultimecias evil scheme from before. But that was actually why he liked it so much better,it was quiet. The Blonde turned a corner and said," Well. It looks like you have made it aboard Azura." He got a tiny cup of water sitting it down on the side of the fountain sitting there saying," Why are you coming again?"

Alphonse blinked and said slowly, sitting up on the fountain." Hm. How about this?" He held up a finger,"Either stay inside here instead of going into the castle since you seem scared to go there." He lowered his hand taking a drink of the water before adding to it," I haven't actually thought of a plan quite yet. Well I have but its a stupid one." He wondered what would happen if Rinoa passed on her Sorceress powers before she could be taken over again. Maybe it would solve everything...
