the story is Pre-Game -- a little in game and post game
The sorceress's were gone with the exception of Rinoa; then again she wasn't a problem as she would get her go to Dr. Odine to get her powers sealed after the celebrations were over.
Celebrating in the Grand Hall, the heroic six told their stories. Edea joined and told her side of the story and was pardon by Balamb jurisdiction.
But if Edea was pardon then what about Seifer?
"Is it working?" Selphie stuck her head in front of the lenses removing the cap. "There! I see the little red light!" Selphie ran up to her room and grabbed the camera so that she could hold on to memories longer, just in case anymore were erased by the guardian forces.
"Quisty! Over here!" Selphie yelled out when Irvine ran over to Quistis. She was spacing out near a table sipping on what she was hopping was spiked punch. "Irvine, what the hell are you doing?" Quistis nearly smirked when… "I'm giving you permission to check me out" Irvine spun around as Quistis blankly looked at him. "And I suppose your now showing me your shitty dance moves?" Selphie couldn't help but laugh.
"Quissstyyyy! Over here!" She turned her attention to Selphie who had finally figured out how to use her own camera pointed straight at her. "Oh, uhh…hi" Irvine did that creepy 'hey look at me, I need more attention' blooper scene and wrapped his arm around Quistis,
"What the hell? Get off me!" Irvine struggled to keep a hold on her. "Oh come on! Don't be a sour puss! We just defeated Ultimecia and—"Quistis didn't really care and fought him off. Irvine motioned his head to Selphie to follow Quistis.
Once she was finally able to get away from his grip, she noticed the Headmaster standing alone staring at his feet. Is he drunk already? That's only his second glass! Quistis thought to herself. Calling out for him "Headmaster!" Cid turned his attention "Ahh…Quistis. It's nice to see you here safe and well." Cid motions his glass hand towards Selphie who was following Quistis every move with the camera. "Yes, but we're all not here." He knew who she was talking about, but instead of bringing up a depressing matter, he turned his attention to someone
"Quistis, you grew up to be a beautiful young lady" Edea walked over to Cid and a blushing Quistis. Cid gaze was on Edea who was still feeling nervous being somewhere she just tried to destroy; Cid held her in her arms and said "All is forgiving dear, no need to be anxious anymore.
Irvine approached the trio and gave Edea a bow, and received one in return. "Heyyyy, what about me?!" Quistis turned to Selphie first and tapped Irvine's arm to look at Selphie. "Is it getting heavy on you? Here let me take it…" Irvine approached Selphie and took the camera from her.
"Yayyyyyy!" after seconds of torture trying to teach Irvine how to use the camera "All you have to do is point this at us!" Selphie ran over to Quistis and stood there with her. And motion Irvine "No Irvine, you have to on point it right side—there you go!" Both girls waved to him, while Irvine's attention turned to a group of girls who were admiring him. "Hey ladies how about—"
"Hey!" Selphie screamed out "My Camera, MY friends…not your…..fan club!" Selphie walked over to Irvine ready to slap him, when he turned the camera back to them, they spotted Zell stuffing his face with hotdogs and his new girl friend, Mira. "Mhan! Am I mhummgry" Zell started to look funny. Damn it! Why did the make the hotdogs so damn good?! Zell was choking.
"Oh my! Selphie hurry! Zell's choking!" Selphie and Quistis ran over and started to pound on his back and shoulders with Mira. Once he was calm, he looked up to see Irvine pointing the camera at him laughing. He glanced over his shoulder to Quistis and Selphie who were trying to hold him their laughs and backing away slowly when he got up hastily and started to through hotdogs in every direction. He managed to hit the camera. "HEY! YOU'RE PAYING FOR ANY DAMAGES ON THAT CAMERA IF IT'S BROKEN!!!" Selphie yelled out to him before he made a dash out of there.
"I think it's still working." Irvine picked up the camera and pressed the red button. "Yep! Still is!" Irvine pointed the camera to Angelo who was looking for Rinoa, but instead found Selphie who was chasing after him when something black and blue caught her eye. "Irvy! Look out there! I think Rinoa and Squall are about to kiss!" He pointed it out the balcony, and just as Rinoa pointed her finger up the battery died.
Quistis came up behind Irvine, "What's all the commotion about?" Following everyone line of sight, she saw Squall pull Rinoa into his arms and kiss her. When they pulled apart, in unison from inside the heard 'awwwwwwwww!' and applause came from inside. Rinoa smiled and hid her face in Squall's jacket.
A scrawny kid interrupted. "Ummm...Excuse me…I'm from the Balamb Weekly, I was wondering if I could get a picture of the heroic six?" Selphie, Quistis, and Irvine walked towards Squall and Rinoa to gather for the photo. "Oh wait, where's Zell?"
"He went into the lobby, I'll get him" Quistis ran into the walkway to get Zell for the picture when she ran into a familiar trio. From what she knew, they were all temporarily expelled from school. "What are you doing here?" Why was that the first time that came out of her mouth? Curiosity got the best of her. "I'm here for you..." Quistis's eyed widen…he remembered. "I told you, before Edea took me; I have to fulfill my other romantic dream…" Quistis was stunned. "But I thought…"
"…That I would forget? I wouldn't forget a promise like that…" Quistis pulled out a necklace from undershirt. Seifer only smirked when he saw the key dangle from neck. Seifer pulled out a box with a mini-lock that it was to from his pocket. "Wait, should we do this here?" Quistis was hesitant; she didn't want either one to get in trouble, her for talking to him and him for being on grounds that he wasn't allowed on.
Seifer thought about it and nodded. "Your right…we should do it in there!" Seifer grabbed Quistis's wrist and ran into the grand ballroom. Zell never got the message, instead, a grey silhouette and what looked and orange body came back in along with Seifer's 'security guards.'
"Let her go…" Squall and Irvine pushed through the photographer and Cid and Edea only to pull out their weapons and point them at him. "Relax Pubes and…Cowboy me and her have something to reveal…" Zell walked back in to see Seifer's back and weapons pointed at him. He crept up on Seifer and jumped on his back. "YOU ASSHOLE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DO—" Zell wrapped his arm around Seifer's neck, but with a quick move, Seifer threw him over his shoulder. Zell stood up and join Squall and Irvine's side.
Quistis stepped in the middle of the 3 to 1 fight. "Guys please, this is apparently important to Seifer" Quistis removed her necklace and turned to Seifer. "It's now or never" Seifer pulled out the box again this time, Quistis inserted the key and unlocked the box revealing two rings. One said 'My loving Instructor' with a ruby stone and another that said 'My love nuisance' that was a white gold band resembling Laguna's ring.
The gang looked at them confused. Everyone's eyes looked like they were ready to pop out of their head. "Ah…whe…why…how...huh?!?!" Was the only thing that was able to escape anyone mouth, it came from Selphie.
"Surprised aren't you? Didn't think me OR her would have guts to do something like this did ya?" Seifer smirked looking at all their gazes. "Well I can tell you I'm pretty surprised myself that I said yes" Quistis sarcastically teased Seifer when she saw his smirk.
"Can we hear the story?" Rinoa was annoyed because just a few months before she was dating Seifer. Did he cheat on her? Did he use me to cheat on Quistis? So many questions…so little time!
"No, I refuse for this story to be told!" Cid interrupted. "Quistis, What did I say? This wasn't supposed to be revealed until he passes SeeD!"
"YOU KNEW?!" They girls said in unison. Cid and Edea nodded in unison "So does Xu…" Added Quistis. Seifer looked at Quistis annoyed "When did you—"
"She figured it out since you know, we share dorm apartments and I only came home half the time we went out"
Seifer stopped and thought about it "…good point…like her to get her nose in something that isn't her business."
'Umm...excuse me guys? I have to get back to Balamb before 8 to get this issue out in the morning" The Photographer/journalist popped into the conversation. The group turned into his direction moving into position. Quistis wasn't really paying attention as Edea was talking to her on the side while the pictures were being taken.
"Quistis, I expect a full report on this on my desk by tonight!" Selphie chimed in mocking Quistis and Cid's favorite phrase. She laughed and joined the group for more pictures by many admirers and photographers from around the world.
