[Disclaimer: Final Fantasy 8 doesn't belong to me.. sadly. It belongs to Squaresoft (I think) and so do all the characters and their gimmicks (except Deidre, Ciara, Aidan, and a few other people.. so.. yeah). Uhm.. Don't sue me. I'm poor. Thanks!
Notes:
I am aware that a lot of this could never happen. Some of it is severely OOC.. I haven't played FF8 in a while, so most of it is probably completely impossible.. whatever. The squiggly brackets "{}" are used for dream sequences, italics are used for thoughts to self.. Ok, here goes..!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"...Mommy? Daddy?"The little blonde haired boy sniffled and wiped his nose on his sleeve. His parents had told him that they would come back for him, but it had been 3 or 4 days.. he couldn't remember which... and they hadn't returned yet. A man in a uniform approached the boy. "Are you from Daddy's work??" He knew that his father was employed in the military, of sorts..
"Yeah, sure kid." The man lifted the little boy up, and carried him to a jet, signaling for the pilot to take off. The boy was glad to be out of the rain, and he would get to see his mommy and daddy soon..}
Seifer awoke with a jerk. Again.. He'd been having these haunting dreams for a while now.. all of the little blonde haired boy. With a shrug, he showered, dressed quickly, and headed out of the door to the Disciplinary Committee lounge.
"Seifer, we've been waiting for you, ya know?" You can probably guess who that is. Seifer was already disturbed, he didn't have time to listen to Raijin's complaints.
"Fuujin, do you have the reports?"
Fuujin's voice was as..uh.. clear as ever. "AFFIRMATIVE." She handed him about 7 or 8 papers neatly stapled together.
Seifer fingered through the packet. "Too much. We have to crack down on these trouble maker types. I think harsher consequences are in order. Your opinions?"
"Ay, I was thinkin' the same thing, ya know?"
"AGREEMENT."
He nodded. Another problem solved.
He knew better than to bother with cafeteria food. The hot dogs would be sold out already. He did, however, have leftovers from the last time he'd ordered out, so he decided to take that and eat it in the cafeteria, since food in the dormitories was strictly prohibited. Taking a seat in his usual spot by the back, Seifer looked up to see his arch rival, Squall Leonheart, and his followers. What an infantile group they were, how he would love to spoil the fun of those brats. "Took three of them to bring me down.." The Knight muttered to himself, shoveling another spoonful of food into his mouth. His eyes fell onto the visage of Squall's female interest, Rinoa Heartilly. "Hmph." he scoffed, "she's an airhead, anyway.." That Zell boy was nothing but a chicken-wuss, and he would love to wring the neck of that annoying little perky girl. What was her name again? Sandy? Saffron? Who cares? The SEED squadron noticed Seifer's piercing glare and turned. "What are you looking at?" Seifer growled. The SEEDs shrugged and turned around. "Continue with your mindless banter." He muttered to himself. At this point, he stood and left the cafeteria. There had to be something more interesting in that garden than THEM.
"Seifer sure was giving us a dirty look!" Selphie giggled, apparently finding this funny for some reason.
Squall, however, didn't find it as amusing. "What if he's up to something?" A worried sigh escaped him, and he rested his fork on the table, drifting deep into thought.
"Lighten up, Squall. The Sorceresses's reigns are over. There's nothing Seifer can do to us now." Rinoa smiled, always bringing the brighter side of things into perspective for him.
Quistis didn't agree."Except kill us. Or maim us. Possibly cause us physical and emotional torture.." She didn't even bother to look up from her food while she said this.
Caught off guard by Quistis's strange behavior, Irvine tried a lil of that ol' charm. "Uuh, Quisty?"
"Instructor Trepe," she snapped, " and what?"
"Sheesh. What's the matter?" He questioned, You've hardly said anything for two days, excepting that lovely comment you shared with us just now."
Quistis pushed a long blonde locke of hair behind her ear and looked up. "I'm simply being realistic. You shouldn't underestimate Seifer. We've faced him in the past. If he is up to something, I suggest you don't make assumptions that he is harmless, because he is in fact, not. It took 3 of us to defeat one of him, remember? I wouldn't take him lightly."
The other SEEDs (and..Rinoa..) were silent, until Zell spoke up. "Instructor Trepe?"
"Quistis."
"But you just said-"
"I'm going now." Quistis emptied her tray and walked out of the cafeteria.
Selphie giggled again. "Golly, she was acting weird!!"
Seifer decided it was as good a time as any to train. That was probably all he would do today, anyway. He walked into the training center, drew his truest and only friend Hyperion, and went off into battle.. oddly enough, the only place where he found peace.
{"So when'll I see Mommy and Daddy?"
"You ain't gonna see your mommy and daddy, kid."
"Then where'm I goin'?"
"Where your kind belongs. Prison."
The little boy had no idea what this meant. "Is Prison a fun place?"
The man snickered. " Yeah. "
"Can I go see Mommy and Daddy after??"
The man was sick of the questions. "Yeah, if you shut up."
"Mommy says that 'Shut up' isn't nice-"
"Do you want to see your mommy and daddy?" The boy nodded. "Then SHUT UP." The boy quieted.}
Seifer awoke in bed. He didn't even remember returning to the dorm after training.. he must have, though.. if he was here. "Ugh." he mumbled and rolled off of the mattress..
Quistis sighed, as she typed at her computer. This was all life was for her. Work. Work. Eat. Work. Sleep. Wake Up. Work.. She had to face the fact that she was nearing 19, and she hadn't lived at all. No parties. No fun. Nothing wild. No one to call her own.. The instructor knew it was the last one that hurt her most. She'd seen what loneliness could do to people. Squall was barely alive before Rinoa. Zell had Kita (Library girl with a ponytail), Irvine had Selphie (which didn't seem like much of a prize to Quistis, but hey..) even Cid had Edea.. loneliness almost destroyed Squall, and look at what it had done to Seifer. Heartless and cruel.. Seifer. Quistis didn't want that to happen to her. She felt her eyes begin to water. She never was the type to be a crier, but enough was enough, and that day Quistis Trepe placed her head down on her desk and cried.
A voice over the intercom drew Seifer's attention from the reports he was reading..
"Will the following people please report to the Headmaster's office post haste: Instructor Quistis Trepe, Squall Leonheart, Selphie Tilmitt, Irvine Kinneas and Zell Dincht."
"Hah," exclaimed Seifer. "the Suck Up Squad."
"And Seifer Almasy."
"..that's odd.." he headed up to the elevator.
