Home Sweet Home: Behind Enemy Lines
AN: FINALLY!! I've been waiting to put this up for ever but refused until I finished it and now it's done!!!! So this is about Alex (duh) and that's all I can say. ~OceanGurl
And now for our feature presentation…..
"Were moving in, watch our backs."
"Copy that," I replied to the second in command on my team.
"Wa. .Wa..Wait, there are G-Soldiers coming your way, you don't have time, just back up and go hide until they pass," Hello again, can you uhh, wait a sec? I'm kinda busy right now.
"I can get it, hold them off," Seifer you idiot. I aimed my gun and shot the seven Galbadian Soldiers that were heading there way.
"What the . . . " one said as silent gunshots were fired and the people around him fell. Then I shot him.
"Seifer you sooo owe me," I grunted into the walkie-talky.
"Put it on my tab." I saw him, Rinoa and Irvine walk cautiously below me. You see, I was up in the ceiling, hiding amongst the bars with a rope and harness in case I fell or needed to get down really fast.
"Ok, we see it, um how do we approach this?" Seifer asked looking up trying to find me.
"Well, there are two options, one is to slowly creep toward it get it, and slowly creep out of the building or, grab it and run like hell. Lets do the quiet way, hold on I'm coming down," I put the walkie-talky in it's holder on my belt, put my gun around my shoulder and slid down the rope.
"Ok so, who's gonna grab it?" Rinoa asked.
"I will, you guy's call Squall's team, get them ready to leave on the signal...." I was gonna say more but Seifer cut in.
"I'm not leaving you to screw up the mission, I'm staying." I didn't have time for this. We were on a time schedule.
"Fine, stay. You two, go." Rinoa started to leave but Irvine stayed.
"Uhh, what's the signal?" um......
"Me yelling at him through the walkie-talky to move his ass," eh, it's something isn't it? "See you guy's on the out side."
"Ok, Seifer, you stay here, and I'll get the disk," The thing we were risking out life for was a computer disk, the size of your palm but had all the information of the garden on it as in emergency money supply room, secret fire exits only known of by the staff, stuff like that. It was there in the office, on the desk, guarded by two G-Soldiers (Galbadian Soldiers) with machine guns and a lot of ammo.
"Ok," I said in I whisper. "One...two...three!" I kicked down the door and started shooting. And the Galbadian goes down! He was fast and got me in the chest once, (I had a bullet proof vest on) but I was faster.
"Yeah! That's one for Alex Kessler," Ok grab the disk slowly...... and.....
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Shit.
"Alex! What did you do?!" Seifer peered into the room and screamed at me.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I screamed. "Lets get outta hear, they must have heard the gunshots," we ran through the halls of the Galbadian Army base occasionally running into a soldier or two.
"Hold up!" I stopped cause I had an idea.
"What! There coming!"
"I'm putting a bomb hear set for three minutes, that's more than enough time to get out of hear," I stuck the bomb to the wall and set it for three minutes.
We ran and encountered more soldiers.
"Seifer, just run! We don't have time!" he just kept firing
"You go, I'll be fine." For once I listened to him. I ran to the outside doors where the rest of the crew was waiting.
"Where's Seifer?" Selphie asked
"Inside still, I'll be right back," I said as I ran back in to save Seifer's sorry ass.
"What are you doing here?!" He asked looking furious.
"I came to get you outta hear, we have like twenty seconds now lets go!" just then a voice came on...
"There is a bomb in the building. Please calmly find the nearest exit. You now have ten seconds before lock down and then another three before destruction. Thank you and have a nice day."
"Seifer hurry up! Now!"
"No, no, no, no, no! Were sooo close...." I don't think I've ever run as fast as I did then in my entire life.
"Three seconds...two...one the building is now locked" the voice said just as me and Seifer ran into the doors that were suppose to open.
"No!" I banged on the door and looked helplessly out the door window at my friends on the outside.
"Three...two...one...."
BAMB!
The lights went on and Cid came down the nearest staircase from a room in the ceiling. Along with all the other instructors, including Quistis Trepe.
"No! Seifer I hate you!" I screamed out.
"Chill, it was just a practice mission." Now you've done it
"Just a practice mission? Nothing is ever just a practice mission. If that was a real situation, we'd both be dead you idiot! You cause your stupid and me cause I ran back to save you!" my face was red I could feel it.
"Excuse me, I need to go kill something,"
Ok, now I can talk to you...hi. Want a Balamb garden update? Cause I'm gonna give you one anyway.
Ok, after the Battle at Balamb, there were a lot of renovations made while Cid was waiting for a new fly chip. Which now is accessible only if you are an instructor, or Cid, cause its fingerprint locked. Anyways, one was another new training centre. It's for mission practicing and so Cid can, ahead of time decide who works good together and who makes good team leaders. I sure blew my chance at that.
It's about twice the size of the monster training centre so it's not all cramped up during practice missions. They have about seven different themes but a different mission every time. Plus a storage room about the same size for all the props.
The next change was in the hand to hand combat training centre. It was expanded and they added an obstacle course, punching bags, half bodies (from the shoulder up) made outta rubber to punch and a weight room was added. Next was in the monster training centre, ok that's three now: the mission practice training centre, the hand to hand combat training centre and the monster training centre. Weird, anyways. It too was expanded a bit, bigger trees, more plants, Grats, and T-Rexaurs. They also got the coolest new monster to kill. It's called a Tyrannodor. They are these bird like things that have reptilian skin and were like the size of Irvine in height and had like a ten foot wingspan. Very big. There really hard to kill, cause they usually work with a partner, that you usually don't notice until you're fifteen feet in the air, being carried to a nest where like eight little baby's are waiting to devour you. And you can't kill them cause there all tagged until they're a certain age. Always fun. Anyways, so now I'm at he training centre.
"Stupid Seifer, how am I gonna ever be commander of a mission if I can't get my stupid team to listen to stupid orders!" A Grat jumped in front of me.
"Ahhhhh!!!!" I screamed in frustration. Then I stabbed it and it wilted.
"Arrrrggggg!" I started attacking a tree...oh, something's behind me...
Closer......close......closer......
I twirled around as fast as I could and swung at my attacker...........that wasn't really my attacker.
"Ahh!" Squall jumped back and blocked my blow with his gunblade. And yes, I said Squall.
"Do you always try to kill your friends?" he was panting, it was funny.
"No, you have to be a good friend to receive that kinda treatment," I smiled.
"Uh huhhhhh..... anyways were going up to the gym, wanna come?"
"Sure, I uhhh.." I looked down at my baggy blue jeans and jungle green tank top "gotta change, but I'll uh... see you guys up there?" we started heading out.
"Whatever, see you in a bit," Squall jogged the other direction to the training canter.
I have something to do first.
"Hello Alex, you can go right in," she smiled and let me into the room.
"Thank you doctor, I'll only be like ten minutes this time," I walked into the room in which Zell lay, still with the tubes.
"Hi Zell, oh my god, you will not believe what happened today....." and I went on telling him about the 'mission' and stuff. "Well I gotta go now, going to the weight room, see ya later." I headed to my dorm where I changed into my grey work out sweat pants and my white muscle shirt. Let me tell you the story behind the white muscle shirt. Ok it's not really a big story thing, Squall invited me to go work out with him, I had no shirt to wear but I had the sweat pants. So he gave me one of his many plain, white muscle shirts. And that's the story.
So yeah, I put that on, tied my hair back and jogged to the weight room.
"Hey Alex," Irvine greeted as I walked in. I looked around at my fellow 'work-outiens'. Squall was in black sweat pants and a white muscle shirt. ( big surprise there. Where doesn't he wear a white muscle shirt?) Irvine was in a brown muscle shirt and blue with white stripes snap ups. And Seifer was wearing a grey muscle shirt with dark grey sweat pants. Altogether, sexy. They are all my friends but you can deny fact and the fact was they were all very sexy at that moment. And hey, with all the muscle shirts and being the only girl there at the time, I didn't feel outta place.
"Hey, ready for me to beat your ass in chin ups and push ups......again?"
"You wish, I'm ready this time." Whatever, I rolled my eyes.
"Oooook, um....chin ups first," I jumped up to the bar.
"Ok, guys. Ready.......set......" Squall was the ready set go guy. "Go!"
One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten. And it kept going.
By twenty I was getting tired, really fast but kept going.
Thirty one....thirty two....thirty three.....thirty four....thirty five...thirty six....thirty seven....thirty eight....thirty nine.....forty!
"Alex!" ahh, wa? Was I zoned out? Probably.
"What?"
"Irvine stopped at thirty seven,"
"Oh, ok push ups next," I dropped down from the bar and went over to the mats.
"Ok, ready . . . set.....go!" There was Squall again.
One...two...three... this was harder cause my arms were already burning from the chin ups...
Six...seven....eight....nine.....
Ow, ow, owowowow. This hurts.
Fifteen . . . sixteen . . . seventeen . . . eighteen . . . nine . . . teen . . . !
"I'm out," Irvine dropped to the mats
"How many?" I asked ready to do the same thing.
"Nineteen," oh . . . ok. Down.......up
"Owwwww," I dropped down beside him. "Twenty and not another word about it." we laid there for a sec then I got up. "Bench press time,"
I got up and walked over to the unused bench press. Only one for now, I thought. One is what we called one hundred. I usually do one twenty but my arms were to sore for that.
I laid down on the padded bench and lined my eyes up with the bar.
"Ok, here we go," I said as I lifted the hundred pounds.
One...two...three...four
"Hey," Seifer peered down on me.
"Hey, you want something?" I asked curiously wondering what he was up to.
"You need a spotter," he said all, 'your breaking a law' like.
"No I don't, go away."
"Hey I was wondering...." he started pushing down on the bar. "Does this hurt?"
"Seifer!" I shrieked, ready to drop the bar on my chest. He released the pressure and I put the bar back up. "You ass! Now, what would you have done if I had dropped it and you were still pushing?" why do I even bother.
"Meh," he grinned, winked and walked away.
"Fuck you," we were friends but we were the two in the group that were always bugging each other.
"Hehe, hey Alex? Um were all going to a new club that opened last week in Balamb, wanna come?" Now there's an idea.
"Kay, got nothing else to do."
He looked happy that I was coming. "Alright, so see you in an hour? In the parking lot?"
"Sure see you then," I headed back to my dorm.
"Hey Zoro, hungry?" I refilled his food dish and changed his water. Then I had a nice long half hour shower, I came out beet red but oh well.
Ok, I bought this a while ago and never got a chance to where it.
I put on my tight black leather pants and black boot-shoe things, then I put on my black cotton tube top and matching black arm thingy's that went from my shoulder to my wrist. It looked really nice. Nice as in club wear.
I pulled my hair back really tight into a high pony tail with a scrunchie` and folded a black bandanna that went on like a head band.
For makeup I put on some metallic black eyeliner and some silver lipstick with lip gloss. Shoving three hundred gill in my pocket I left for the parking lot.
"Hey Alex!" Selphie was excited you could tell by her voice. She was wearing a yellow tank and blue bell bottoms.
"Ready to go? I am hehe." So was Rinoa who was wearing a completely backless red shirt that tied up around the neck and where the stomach would be if it was in the back. And some black jean bell bottoms.
"Ok, lets go, I'm driving," Squall, who was in basically the same thing he always wore said. Only his muscle shirt was black not white and he ditched the coat.
We all piled into the car and drove to the club.
Oh the rest of the people were wearing...well Quistis was wearing a dark purple bell bottom body suit that haltered for the top and went really low in the back. She was wearing high heels and her hair was down. She looked really good.
Irvine was in his brown with blue stripes' vest that he normally wore, a pair of brown jeans and his hat, mostly the same, no coat, hair still up. And Seifer was wearing the exact same thing, blue/grey vest, grey trench coat and all. All the guy's looked really good oh and did I mention that Seifer spiked his hair?
"Um guys, is this a bar club, or jut a club cause I'm only sixteen." Good question..
"It's just a regular club," Irvine reassured me.
We got to 'The Platinum,' at sunset. The line was long but we eventually got in, (after a half an hour). The band was loud, the place was crowded and the light show could give people a headache. I liked this place already.
"Lets plunk here!" Squall yelled slouching onto a chair at a table. If he didn't yell none of us would have heard him. We all sat around the table, and Seifer took off his coat, which was a really good idea cause he looked a lot better. I mean a lot better.
"Hey, I'm gonna get a better look at the band, anyone wanna come?" I suggested.
It ended up that everyone came except Squall and Rinoa who conveniently stayed back to "get drinks." yeah right, like we all don't know what they're gonna do.
We all got up to the front of the stage and started dancing. They were really, really good and the lead singer was really, really hot. And just as I got into it, dancing I mean, a slow song came on. Go fucking figure.
Everyone either paired up or went to get drinks at the drink place. I looked around, Squall and Rinoa were dancing, Irvine and Selphie were dancing, kissing and I think Irvine was rubbing her ass. Then there's me, Seifer and Quistis leaning up against the wall watching.
"Oh, isn't this nice" I said sarcastically.
"Hey, wanna dance?" I looked up and say a really hot guy with bleach blonde hair, spiked with blue streaks.
"Sure," Quistis replied and went out on the dance floor.
Why did I not see that coming? Who's next, Seifer?
"Hey Alex? As friends.. uh.. Wanna dance?" Oh my god!!! Seifer was blushing! I feel so special. I was gonna laugh but that would be mean so I didn't.
"Ok," we walked out a little ways from the stage. I put my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist, then pulled me real close.
Ahh! I was sooo not ready for that.
"Relax, you're tense, I can feel it," I relaxed and leaned my head on his shoulder which was conveniently six inches higher than mine instead of three inches lower.
Have I ever told you how nice it feels to be in someone's arms?
"There ya go..." his voice drifted off and he held me tighter.
I closed my eyes and listened to the soothing music. The song was really long, I'm kinda glad cause it was nice to just be there with Seifer. I looked up at him and he was still blushing which was funny cause you never see Seifer as the kinda person who'd get embarrassed over something like this. Oh....this is sooooo nice.........and the song ends. Go fig. But Seifer didn't let go, instead he looked down at me and starred into my eyes. Then he leaned down and touched his lips to mine.
"Thanks," he said after he broke the kiss, winked then walked away.
AN: well what do you think? If you're just tuning in then I suggest you read the first one just in case I tie some things into HMH2 from the first one. Anyways don't think it's gonna stay a Seifer/Alex if it even is one cause you all know how the last one was....anyways. Review and if you have any suggestion feel free to sent them to me or put it in a review. ~OceanGurl
