Until Dawn Comes
by Phoenix
Chapter One
Locke sighed as the golden-pink glow began to fade from the evening
sky.
"Don't make it so dramatic!" Terra giggled.
"Sorry," Locke quietly murmured, "I was just thinking of how perfect
it all is."
"I was too," Terra smiled, then kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you
for taking me to watch the
sunset. We had better get back before anyone notices we're missing,
though."
Perfect besides the fact that I'm dating a half-Esper, Locke had
a quick afterthought, but tried to ignore it. He did have a
great time watching the sunset with Terra.
Terra and Locke started to walk slowly down the hill toward the entrance
to the new Returners'
base. The base was still under construction, but enough had been finished
that people could start occupying it.
"Oh! Locke, Terra, there you two are!" Edgar called from the entrance
as they drew nearer.
Locke tried not to blush at the thought that someone had caught him
with Terra. "Oh! Hi, Edgar," Locke tried not to sound nervous. He
wondered how much Edgar was thinking about their being together.
"We just received another donation for the construction costs from
Jidoor," Edgar didn't seem to at all have noticed, and he was looking
rather excited, "Do you know what this means?"
"Go on," Terra urged.
"This means we have enough money to start designing an airship dock!"
Edgar cried out
cheerfully.
"Speaking of which, where is the Falcon?" Locke inquired.
"Setzer decided to take it out for a spin. He's been making a lot
of improvements on it lately, and he was dying to test them out. Don't
worry, he said he'd be back before dark. Of course, that's what Daryl
said, now isn't it?" Edgar half-laughed, "Anyway, I need to catch
a ride over to Figaro. I was going to make the final preparations
before we move the castle over to the desert near here."
Edgar started walking off towards the chocobo stable. As soon as he
was out of earshot, Terra
spoke. "I'd better be off as well. I promised Relm that I would help
her sew a new outfit tonight."
"She's such a cute kid..." Locke smiled, "I guess I'll be seeing you
later, then?"
Terra returned the smile, "Yeah, and I'll be thinking about you the
whole time."
