Note: This takes place 2 years after Dagger and Zidane see each other again in Alexandria.Five months before this, Zidane done the unthinkable. He asked for Dagger's hand in marriage. And of course, she said yes. So I hope you enjoy this little story, 2 years after the reunion of Zidane and Dagger.




"What are we to do now Marcus?" Zidane Tribal says, as he stretches from his sleep. "Today is the big day! So what am I susposed to do, go to Alexandria and wait for her?"
"No," Marcus says with a sigh, "how many times do I have to tell you. You are to meet Dagger at the airport in the grand castle, or did you forget that she was in Lindblum?"
"Yeah I did, sorry for asking," Zidane says, shaking his head and falling back on his pillows.
Today was the big day for Zidane and Dagger. Today, they was going to join in marriage. Knowing how Zidane is, he forgets little minor details. Seeing that he doesn't forget, Blank and Marcus is going to come to the wedding. The wedding is going to be held in Madain Sari.
"C'mon Zidane, get up!" Marcus says as he throws a pillow to wake up the sleepy Zidane.
"When do we got to meet the Regent?" asked Zidane, half awake, trying to put on his traditional clothes, his blue shirt, light blue pants, his blue and white tennis shoes, and his dagger belt. "How are you expecting me to keep track of what is going on. I am so nervous, that I am shaking!"
"We are susposed to meet the Regent as soon as possible Zidane," says Marcus, gathering his suitcase with his belongings. Marcus is wearing his blue suit and his red bandana.
"Where's Blank?" Zidane asks, looking around the Tantalus hideout in Lindblum.
"I don't know, he said that he went to go look for some flowers for you to give Dagger when we went to the airport, this afternoon, but he hasn't returned yet," says Marcus, grabbing his holster, with his sword in it.
Zidane and Marcus finishes getting dressed when Blank strolls into the hideout. He is wearing a blue shirt, brown pants, and a wierd visor over his eyes. He has his sword sheathed beside him.
"Where have you been Blank?" asked Zidane, noticing the flowers and a grin on his face, "ok, what did you do now, because you don't usually have that kinda of grin on your face, unless you met a cute chick."
"You are right Zidane," said Blank, "I did find a cute chick. Oh I almost forgot!" Blank hands a bouquet of red roses to Zidane. He also hands Zidane a box of chocolates.
"Blank,did you spend all of the money that Dagger gave us?" Marcus said, sarcastically.
"Yeah, but she was cute!" Blank says with an expression of humor on his face.
"Blank, how are we susposed to get on the plane now! We don't have any more money!" Zidane retorted.
"Maybe Dagger can help us out on that," Blank said with a sarcastic remark.
"Yeah, leave it to Dagger, since she is paying for this wedding, you dipstick!" yells Zidane, with an angry remark. "We got to meet the Regent soon, so you better think of a good excuse to why you spent the money!"
--Same Time in Lindblum Castle--
Dagger is sitting in the Guest Chambers. She is wearing her white blouse with the orange strapped overalls that she normally wears. She changes into a blue shirt, with a blue short mini skirt. She is wearing blue shoes as well as a orange headband and an orange ribbon in her brown hair.
"What to do until I meet Uncle Cid?" she wonders as Eiko, a eight year old young girl walks into the Guest Chambers. She is wearing her usual clothes with her purple hair tied up with a yellow ribbon. Dagger is 18, and Zidane is 19 at this time.
"What is wrong Dagger?" asked Eiko in her childish, little girl tone.
"Nothing wrong Eiko, I am just a little bit nervous, that is all," says Dagger all nervous.
"Don't be nervous Dagger. It is your big day! I bet Zidane is about as nervous as you are." Eiko piped up.
"Yeah, he is, but how do I know that he will keep his promise and go through this, even though that he proposed to me, right here, in a candle light dinner." She wonders if that he would love her forever, or just want her for her money. Dagger looks at Eiko, "Do you think that Zidane wants me for the throne, or does he want me because he loves me?" Dagger asks the eight year old.
"He wants you for you, Dagger," Eiko says with a smile, "he loves you and I know it. You can see it in his eyes and the way he respects you for not just being the Queen of Alexandria, but for being you, your charm and you strength and........."
"Ok Eiko, I get the point," Dagger cuts in, "I hope I am doing the right thing by marrying him. Every night for the last 5 months, ever since he proposed to me, I have been having dreams that we will live happily ever after."
Just then, Steiner, in his traditional armor, that has some rust spots in it, comes running in with Beatrix at his heels. Beatrix, who is a knight too, was wearing a pink shirt over her armor, with a mini skirt with a brown army-boot style shoes. Steiner says "Princess, I still don't know why you are marrying Zidane, he is nothing but a peasant!"
Dagger looks at Steiner, with fiery eyes, "How many times do I got to tell you Steiner, I love him, and he loves me!"
Beatrix looks at Steiner and says, "Yeah, you never know what might come out of this wedding...."
Steiner's face turns bright red. Steiner and Beatrix have been going out as long as Zidane and Dagger have. But they have never thought about getting married. Steiner is kinda of skepical when it comes to marriage between two knights, but he has thought of it.
"Ok, lets go see Uncle Cid," Dagger said as she grabs her suitcase and runs to the Regent's Chambers.
--Meanwhile in the Town of Lindblum--
"Man, why can't we get a ride to the castle," says Blank in a huff.
"Blank, you are such a wussy," replied Zidane, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Whatever, Zidane, just shut up and keep walking," Blank says angrily.
"Well, if you didn't spend all of our money on the chick this morning," Marcus says sarcastically, "maybe we could have some money for a taxi or something."
Just then, Zidane sees two familiar faces walking toward them, with their suitcases dragging behind them. It was Freya and Amarant. Amarant still had the look to kill, and Freya has a smile on her face. Zidane, Blank, and Marcus meets up with Amarant and Freya. Freya says, "I am finally glad that this day has come."
Amarant, as always, says, "Man, Zidane, why did you drag me into this?"
"Because you need to be there, plus we need a security guard," Zidane replied with a smile. Amarant's facial expressions changed from skeptical and turned into disgust. "I was just kidding Amarant," Zidane replied.
Dragging their bags behind them, the party heads toward the Grand Castle of Lindblum. Zidane is hoping that Dagger looks beautiful, as always, and hopes that she would give them some money, since Blank spent all of theirs.
Walking into the castle, Zidane spots Eiko, running toward them, with Vivi at her heels. Vivi looked the same. The same old hat, but he was bringing some little Vivi's to the wedding. Vivi smiles as he says, "Hello Zidane, ready for the big day?"
"Yeah, I am ready as I ever will........" His voice trails off when he catches a glimpse of someone. Then he sees the person running toward him, its arm's out. Then Zidane recognizes it is Dagger and drops his bags and runs to her, and engulfs her in a big hug. Zidane kisses Dagger 'hello', then looks at her and whisles. Dagger blushes, as she always does, and she replies, "Well, hello there, hun, whats up?"

Zidane looked kinda of uneasy because he hated to bum money off of her. But with a sigh he replies, "A lot."
"What's wrong?" Dagger looked at Zidane with curious eyes.
Zidane shoots a glance to Blank that tells him, better talk or die. Zidane says, "Ask Blank."
Dagger turns her head and faces Blank, "What did you do, Blank?"
"I....um......spent all of the money on some chick this morning. She was cute and I thought that you could help us......"
"You did what!" Dagger exclaimed, face reddening with anger, cutting off Blank in mid-sentence. "That was the money I gave Zidane to get to Treno, then to Madain Sari. How is he going to buy my ring now!"
Blank shifts his weight from one foot to another, uneasy about it all, "Maybe you can help?" he says casually as he could, showing that he had no fear.
Dagger sighs and says, "Ok, but just this once." She walks over to Blank and takes out a hammer from her purse, "But if it happens again," she swings the hammer high above Blank's head and misses on purpose, "you are going to get it."
"Yes ma'am!" Blank looked at her, with a fearful expression in his eyes.
The party goes and meets the Regent, which gives some blessings to Zidane and Dagger before they leave for Treno. Before they board the plane, Regent Cid said, "You two don't do anything that I wouldn't do!"
"Yeah, like what," Zidane mummbled.
They get on the plane, after getting their bags checked and go though the security check. They put their luguage on the spinning caveyor belt, then they go inside the plane. Vivi and Eiko sit in the coach, while Zidane and Dagger sit with each other, then Marcus and Blank behind them, then Steiner and Beatrix. Amarant and Freya was sitting in the first 2 rows of seats.
Dagger and Zidane hugs and kisses each other for some part of the flight to Treno. They were holding hands when Amarant grabs Zidane and says to Dagger, "We will be right back." Before Dagger is able to reply, Amarant was dragging Zidane through the coach. Eiko and Vivi see Amarant dragging Zidane and look at each other. Then they sit in the last two seats. Amarant looks at Zidane, a sickening feeling in his eyes. He goes, "Zidane, I want to tell you something, and don't tell anyone, not Dagger, but especially Freya, she would laugh at me for what I am about ready to tell you."
"Well, out with it," Zidane says, sitting back in the chair.
"I....um...hate flying, I get sick everytime I am on a plane." He says with a look of worry.
"Amarant, go into the bathroom and stay there for the rest of the flight to Treno. I will tell them that you hit me and I took care of you. Is that ok?" Zidane says with a bright eye.
"Yeah, whatever," Amarant says with a sigh.
Zidane goes back up to Dagger and looks at her. He kisses her before he sat down. Pulls out her purse before she even knows that it was even missing. She look at Zidane, a smile spreading across her face. "You still haven't changed, haven't you Zidane?" Dagger says with a smile.
"Nope, not at all, but I did change something in my life." Zidane says with a huge smile.
"And what can that be?" Dagger replies, with a hint of curiousity. Just then, a big guy sits between Zidane and Dagger. Zidane gets mad and says, "Move it or lose it, buddy, you are sitting between my soon-to-be-wife!"
The guy smirked and said, "Yeah, I don't care, so let me be." He looks at Dagger and starts to touch on her. Zidane gets up and grabs Dagger's hammer from her purse. "You better beat it before I use this on you!" Zidane shouts.
The guy still touches around on Dagger and she smacks the crap out of him. Then the guy hits her over the head and knocks her out. Then before Zidane knows it, she is gone, and so is the guy. Zidane looks at everyone and says, "Did anyone see where that guy went!"
"No, I didn't see anything, I was fast asleep," said Marcus, Blank, Steiner, and Beatrix in unision.
"Oh, that is just great," Zidane says in a huff. "but he has got to be on this plane somewhere!"
Zidane runs all around the plane. He sees the guy and catches him. Dagger is slung over his shoulder. He recognizes the man as Don Corneo. Don says, "Look at this, I got a new chicky!"
"She is my wife!" Zidane retorts and smacks the hammer upside Don's head. He lets out a little groan and drops Dagger. Zidane picks her up and runs to the back of the plane. Dagger comes to, and she says, "Oh, my head, what happened Zidane?"
"That pervert, Don Corneo, is trying to steal you! And I won't have it!" Zidane says, leaning down, kissing Dagger on the lips, "you are more important to me than anything else!"
Dagger looks at him, "I love you Zidane, and I am glad that I am going to have you as a husband."
The plane touches down in Treno. The party gets off the plane, goes to the security check-ins and picks up their bags. Then Zidane says, "I guess we have got to wait for the next flight to the outer contient."
"I guess we need to get a hotel room and stay for the night," Freya said with a hint of happiness.
"How many rooms would we need?" Vivi asked.
"We should need..." Zidane counted heads, "about five rooms."
Dagger looks at Zidane, "I need my own......"
Zidane looks at Dagger and cuts her off. Then he smiles, "It will be cheaper if we pair up. Vivi and Eiko, go into one, Steiner and Beatrix, Freya and Amarant, Marcus and Blank, and finally, you and me."
A surprised look grows on everyone's faces, but Amarant. His look was in disguist. Zidane turns to Dagger and says, "Is that ok, with you?"
"That is fine by me," Dagger replies, a huge smile on her face.
Zidane thinks, 'I guess I need to stop at a store and gets some things.'
The party goes to the hotel, then Zidane says, "I need to go out, I will be right back."
Dagger nods, and Zidane goes to the nearest market. He picks up some popcorn, some drinks, and some other things. He stops by the Health and Beauty department and picks up a few things for tonight. Then he goes back to the hotel, all of the rooms are connected, walks into his room and looks at Dagger. She smiles at him and she pats the spot on the bed, right in front of the TV. He grabs the remote and plops down beside her. Zidane flips through the channels and finds some shows that they liked and sitted together, hand in hand, body and body, (fully clothed) beside each other. Then Dagger says, " I am going to go get my bath, so no peeking!"
A smile grows on Zidane's face, he replies, "Ok, I will be a good boy."
Dagger replies, "Sure you will." She goes into the bathroom, takes off her blue shirt, and mini skirt and the rest of her clothes and jumps into the shower. Zidane, knowing what he was not susposed to do, shuts off the TV and walks to the bathroom door. He notices the door was locked, so he gets out his lock picking kit. He picks the lock and hears the shower starting up. He waits a minute and hears the shower start. Then he goes in, seeing her reflection in the shower curtain, he takes off his clothes and jumps in. Dagger screams very loud and Zidane hears some footsteps coming. He hurries and puts on his clothes on, then he turns and knocks over Marcus, running into the bathroom door. Zidane's face is blood red. He runs out of the bathroom and lands on the bed, trying to hold back a laugh. Dagger finishes her bath, and Zidane looks at Marcus, and says, "It is ok, go back to your room."
"Zidane, save it for after the wedding!" Marcus exclaimed, with a look of disguist, as well as a look of alright, good boy.
Dagger finishes her bath, wraps a towel around her, goes out of the bathroom, shuts the door that connects the rooms, and locks it. Zidane is wondering on what she is going to do to him. Dagger turns and looks at Zidane, a smile on her face. She says, "Well, I see that you didn't heave my warning. I told you no peeking!"
"But I couldn't help it, it was soooooo tempting, so I had to pick the lock," Zidane replies, with a smile on his face as well.
"Since you wanted to see so badly," She drops her towel, "so you better look now, because this will be the last time you will see it until after we get married."
Zidane looks at the naked Dagger, stunned and drooling at the same time. Then Dagger pulls up her towel, smiling and walks in and gets her clothes. She gets dressed right in front of Zidane. She is wearing a orange shirt that goes down to her knees, with her pink underwear, and blue socks. She has on a blue pair of shorts under it. Zidane jumps up and says, "My turn!" He goes to the bathroom, takes off his clothes, barricades the door, and takes his bath. He goes out and dresses right in front of Dagger. He his wearing a blue shirt, that goes all the way to the floor, and his underwear. He smiles as he shakes his head to wring the water out of his hair and he gets it all over Dagger. He goes and lays next to Dagger. Then Zidane says, "I guess we are sleeping in the same bed?"
Dagger looks at him, "I guess, since there is only one bed here. But...."
Zidane cuts her off, "And we won't do anything bad, because I want to wait until we officially get married. And besides, we need to get used to it."
Zidane shuts off the light and they sleep together, hugging each other.
