A Clearing In The Preserve, Thursday Evening

This evening, there was a bit more activity going on in the preserve than the usual scampering and frolicking of the teal deer and the alots. Tonight, there were paper lanterns strung up through the branches and along the trees, there were tables set up in the clearing, and there was music. If it lacked a banner and balloons, they were hoping the glimmer of the lantern lights in the darkness made up for it.

Ino was turning seventeen, and there was only one thing to be done about it. Zack had sent out the e-mail yesterday, and he and Karla had taken care of the food and the cakes and the decorations, and, once Zack managed to get Ino to join them, they were going to celebrate!

[Up a little early for PARTY TIME goodness! Open!]

"I don't know," she said. "You never want to be someone that isn't you? Someone specific, or just ... you, but not quite the same?"

"If I didn't want to be me, I'd change," Squall answered. He do it just like that -- by sheer force of will. He could just squeeze his eyes shut, and change, and magically be a different person. But he didn't want to.

"It's just for a night," she said, eyes dancing. "You can be someone who isn't you, just tonight, and then go back to being yourself again. It's like you get to decide that tonight doesn't count."

In case he was at all tempted to do anything that he might want to take back later. Just throwing it out there.

"It doesn't work like that," Squall told her. "That sort of thinking is just for people who want to do something and aren't strong enough to own up to it. Everything counts."

Except that one day, when the island made him go crazy. THAT didn't count.

"Okay," Rinoa said, deciding, sheerly on impulse, to do something remarkably stupid.

Which was to grab the ruffs on Squall's jacket and kiss him, hard, on the mouth, before he had a chance to protest or even realize what was going on.

Just as abruptly, she was going to let go, step back, and head off in search of the food tables. There was cake!

"Does that count?" she called over her shoulder.

Squall just stood there, frozen in place, and stared after her. He... She...

She'd stopped! She'd stopped and left! How dare she stop!??!

Except, it was good that she'd stopped. He didn't want her to kiss him, after all. That just made everything all... complicated. He didn't like it. He cursed himself for being weak enough to let himself enjoy it.

Yes, it "counted" -- it's not like it could un-happen -- but that wasn't going to change anything. She could kiss him all she liked; he wasn't going to kiss back.

And she was a meaniehead and he didn't like her. At all.
