Chapter 1: Lost Angel
The wind blew through her midnight dark hair as her brown eyes scanned the black water. She let a small sigh escape from her light pink colored lips as she hugged her arms trying to keep warm. Walking along the darkened beach her duster whipped about like a blue flag in the air. She couldn't decide what to do, go to the garden and be with Squall or go back to Timber?
Something told her to go home and see her father. She loved him as much as she loathed him. Long ago when her mother died and she was left with her father she dropped her father's last name and picked up her mother's maiden name. The girl closed her eyes pushing those thoughts out of her mind, she wasn't going back to Deiling City until she had to.
Could she go back to Timber? Really going back to Timber would be pointless they are now independent, the only reason to go back would be for her friends. She was once the leader of the Forest Owls, a small group going against their government. It would be nice to see her friends again but it could wait for awhile.
That left her with one option left, going back to Balamb Garden…the home of the SeeD. Squall, whom she fell in love with during the previous up rise in war, was the leader of the Balamb Garden. Whatever became of Headmaster Cid and Sorceress Edea? Did Quistis go back to being an instructor there? So many questions that could only be answered by going there.
She let out a small sigh, which was carried away by a gust of wind. How'd she get here anyway? Everything was completely black when she tried to think about it. And secondly where was she? Growing tired and cold she dragged her body toward the nearest building she could see. Narrowing her chocolate brown eyes at the building as each step made it more and more clearer. The place looked really familiar, but what was it?
She stumbled toward the door of the building, she stopped staring at it. As if t someone and frozen time…she just stood there looking, thinking. She was at the orphanage? How'd she manage to get so far away from Squall? Her mind was racing with questions, questions that didn't she didn't have answers to. The wind began to blow harder, she let out a shaky sigh and pushed the door open. Once inside she dropped to her knees with two warm rivers flowing down her pale cheeks.
The girl curled up as tight as she could mange to get herself. She sat there crying and kept on crying until there was nothing left to cry out. Her breath came out shakily but quieted as she started to uncoil herself from the tight ball. The orphanage was the same as the last time she has been here, except some piles of rubble was cleared away. Apparently they were going to rebuild or fix it up or something.
How long had she been gone? There came the rush of questions again, she screamed casting them out of her mind. Slowly she coiled herself into a ball and fell asleep…deciding she will wait to get these questions answered tomorrow.

Squall set on the steps that were meant for entering and leaving the garden. His face in his hands he let out a low, sorrowful sigh. Why'd Rinoa leave? …Perhaps he was right maybe he was suppose to be alone. He raised his face a little bit above the tips of his fingers, looking at Selphie and Quistis.
"Heey there Captain!" Selphie seemed to be ignoring the fact that the poor man was depressed.
Quistis just stared at the lone wolf with pity in her eyes. Squall didn't care to meet Quistis's gaze because he didn't' want to know what others where thinking about this. "….Selphie I think Squall wants to be alone."
Selphie flicked her big green eyes from Squall to the blonde-headed woman. "Ohhh.." she let her voice cut off going utterly serious. "I'm sorry Squall. I really am."
He wanted to say his famous line "whatever" but some how he knew Selphie was really sorry not because he missed Rinoa, but because she was his friend and cared about him. Well as much as her naïve heart would allow. Squall decided to go with a nod instead of saying something because he didn't trust himself because anything could just pop out of his mouth.
Quistis placed her gloved hand on her former student's shoulder. "I'm sure everything will turn out ok Squall." Her voice soft and held a reassuring tone to it. Squall She smiled at him he just looked up at her, his face blank. Why did she always get the cold shoulder? She loved this man…although she could never admit that because Squall had Rinoa.
Quistis lightly tugged on Selphie's arm getting her attention. "Selphie lets go to the Training Center for awhile so you can show me your new GF."
Selphie perked up and started climbing the steps, then realizes she didn't say bye to Squall she stops suddenly on the stairs turning around. "Bye Squall!! See you later!" She waved her right arm a bit and skipped up the stairs with Quistis tagging along behind her.
Squall watched the two disappear into the background and gave a small sigh as he stood up. Slowly he walked toward the elevator and pushed the button to his office, which had been redone since the Garden's flying control deal flew through the bottom of the floor. Why was he so miserable? He hadn't been with Rinoa that long. How in the hell could someone have this kind of effect on a person?
Stepping out of the elevator he met Xu who was ALWAYS had something for him to do. Squall just shook his head and walked on with out giving the woman a chance to talk. He was depressed, tired and stressed out. Could this day get much worse…? His luck the answer was most likely a yes.
