O.K, even as a first time writer I'm sure that you have already read about
millions and MILLIONS of these, I don't own Final Fantasy 8 Square does =(



Authors note: My first fiction on here, but you
know be nice =P It's set a couple of months, you decide, after the defeat of Ultimecia
and everyone's back to normal, apart from Rinoa and Squall, they
aren't together. Rinoa is with Seifer.

Lion Versus Light
Squall sat in his office, bored to death. All the
paperwork had caught up with him, being the Commander wasn't easy. Then Selphie
had dragged him around various parties so that he could enjoy himself.
'You'd think that the worlds gonna end with all these problems' He muttered.
Sighing he looked around for his pencil. On looking up, he saw a
small figure of some sort lying on the beach, struggling to get up. He peered
harder at the figure as it ran off towards Balamb Hotel. Shrugging he turned
his attention back to his work. A knock at the door turned his concentration to
it. Rinoa walked in, smiling.

"Hiya Squall, up to work again?" She plonked herself onto his desk,
looking up at him.
"………"
"Aww! I'm sorry did I interrupt your work? Weeell, that's too bad,
'cause I'm here to say that us lot: Zell, Quisty, Selphie, Seifer, Irvine and
me think that a trip to Balamb is in order…" She jumped up and pulled him out
of his office to the 'Orphanage Gang'.

"Whether you want to or NOT!"
With that, the reluctant Squall was pushed towards Balamb with his happy
friends chatting around him.

Passing assorted shops, café's and all that they ended up at Balamb Hotel. Inside a lot
of shouting was heard.

"….NO PAY NO STAY!!"
"I CAN PAY LATER-"

"YEH, SURE, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID LAST TIME, NOW OUT"
With that, what looked like a Balamb SeeD Cadet came flying out. Squall stepped forward to look
at the man. He dragged the poor guy up and stared at him, only to drop him again.
"Raijin!!" Everyone cried.
"You know him then?" A woman of around 17 stepped out of the Hotel. She had purple hair very
Squall style, and eyes to match the colour. She was around 5foot and 7inches wearing a
pair of leather trousers and a black t-shirt.


"Yes we do" Came the reply from Squall
"Well then, perhaps you can pay his tab? 309,000 gil? This guy has been living in the
Presidential Suite living off his tab promising he'll get paid soon from his so called SeeD
salary, hmm?"
"SeeD salary? He's not even a SeeD" Stated Seifer. "Raijin you idiot, you just made yourself a
death wish!"


Raijin jumped up and on hearing this ran away.


"Heh, a coward. By the way, I'm Naomi, I work here and am pretty much in charge"
She brushed her hair out of the way, "Will you be staying?"

Rinoa took charge stepping in front of Squall,


"Yes, four Presidential Suites please."

"Fine, come inside"

They walked inside and Naomi took her space behind the counter and calculated the price.
Seifer nudged Rinoa and pointed behind the mathematical lady, and there was a Gunblade case.
Seifer cleared his throat,
"You use the gunblade?"

She nodded still calculating their prices. She looked up after,


"Why?" She turned to Rinoa, "200,000Gil plus breakfast is 209,000Gil PLUS that guys tab equals"
she paused, "518,000Gil please."

If possible everybody's jaw would have hit the ground; they only had 310,000Gil.

Seifer had a brainwave.


"How about I challenge you to a duel, just gunblades, no magic, and if I win we get a discount
on the price, 309,000Gil. If you win.."


"I get to enrol at Balamb." She said almost immediately. Seifer nodded, with a smug smile on his
face as if he'd already won.

"Full-Life!"
Selphie cast onto Seifer while the others were snickering (apart from Rinoa who
was doubled up in laughter). Seifer arose with a very angry look on his face.
"I can't believe it, three hits!"

Squall was looking at
Naomi with interest, before she turned to him and saluted,

"Commander, when can I start?"
