Disclaimer and Author's note: I do not own any of these characters, never have never will.

OK, so, this is my first fanfic, having read soooo much before I thought I'd try my hand at it.

Re-writing the future.



.Squall walked down the familiar corridors, saw the familiar faces of the students under his command following the battle with Ultimecia. He acknowledged the presence of a young man trying to get his attention, he looked flushed like he had something important to say, as in fact he did. "Yo 'sup Squall?" "Hi Zell, what's the matter? No more hotdogs?" "Nah, something more important" "Something more important to you than hotdogs?" Squall was concerned, "Well what is it?" He asked. "Number 1. NOTHING is better than or more important to me than than hotdogs. Number 1. It's about Matron."

(It must be important to be on a par with hotdogs) Squall mused.

"NO!" Squall sat straight up in bed, he was sweating like a mesmorise (It's ok it's just a dream) he said to himself (That never happened. Nothing happened to Matron) As the remainder of the dream faded he woke fully, "Such a lot has happened since then" he said out loud. The sound of his voice reassured him. His clock read 5:30am "Guess I should get up and get some training in before the kids clog up the training centre." This was a seldom broken habit, the six friends defeated Ultimecia six and a half years previously, but Squall had gotten up early every day for the last five to practise with his Lionheart, it had served him well, but he still thought he did not have the skills he wished to get revenge on Seifer for what he did. Although in truth, he was the best fighter in all three of the gardens put together, maybe even on the face of the planet.



It was now 9:30am, Squall got in an extra long training session, since this was the first of five days off for every garden student. He stepped out of the shower, the water was freezing afer having run for an hour. Squall got dressed and made his way to Cid's office. "Ah, Squall, I knew you'd come, you always do. Get the keys from Nida, take as long as you need and please call in on Edea for me." Edea had re-opened the orphanage and lived there with the children who had been on the White SeeD ship, as well as a few others who had been taken there due to circumstance. In fact, she needed help, so Ellone now lived there, helping out in her childhood home. "Thankyou Sir. It means a lot to me." "Not at all, after all you did for us, it's the least I can do." Squall said nothing. He just saluted and made his way to the bridge. "Here you go Squall, and uh, pay my respects okay?" "Sure Nida, be back soon."
