Notes: It's understood in this fic that Rinoa and Squall aren't together anymore, for unexplained reasons. Yeah. I'm good like that.
There were interesting fonts to go with every character, but this site formatting hates that. Grar. Sorry!
Sorry about the formatting and how annoying reading alla these headings a thousand times is. It's stylistic, right? Yes? Please?
In terms of date and time and year, I made everything up. Is there a timeline for the game?

Selphie,
He pulled rank on me. Squall Leonhart pulled rank on me. I'm so angry I could scream. He's never abused his power like that, ever. I thought he didn't even want the authority. He's got a funny way of showing it.

Mr. missus commander instructor Trepe ma'am sir,
Oh, Quisty. You issued a warrant for Seifer's arrest behind his back! What did you expect? He does not like it when people make important decisions without his approval. Plus it's Seify. Squall's been through everything with Seify. It wouldn't be right to separate them now.

I'm currently unable to show my face at my apartment, as it is surrounded by four – count 'em – four mercenary squads. One from Esthar, one from Galbadia, and – here's the kicker – two from Balamb Garden. As far as I can tell, one is from Quistis with love and huggles and an arrest warrant, and the other was sent by Squall to detain that one. So I'm laying low until I decide whether or not I even want to go back to B Garden. Sorry to vanish like that. I wonder why puberty boy even wants me back. Sure, we had something, but that was before the assassination attempts/torture/mind fuckery/icicle stabbery, so he can't possible still want me. Right? I don't deserve… you know what, whatever. What do you think?

You always know what's best for me. I guess I'll go back, but I don't expect things to go easily for me. Quistis in particular is gonna be watching me, and the others… hell, I dunno. Squally-boy's the only one that matters anyway. And Rinoa if I can get her into bed with me. And anyone else whom I randomly feel like fucking. But the ice princess specifically! Ugh I'm sick of people trying – and failing – to kill me. I don't want to murder anymore. I don't want to say anything corny like how my gunblade is forever stained with blood, but… it kind of is. I need to borrow that polish that pretty boy uses. It's hard to clean old bloodstains… Maybe some vinegar.

I'll be blunt. Seifer's on my bed, gagged and bound, smirking at me.
I was on guard duty at the gates, and who but our favorite blond bully marches right up to the guards, holding his hands out to be cuffed and demanding that only I handle him. The other guards tried to take him down.
Bad move.
He made this weird twisting motion and *BAM* four guards, down and out. So I cuffed him (and he was grinning that crazy grin of his, with that flash of something in his eyes) and took him to my room for lack of better options. He wouldn't let me take hyperion off his back, but… call me crazy, but I don't think he's a threat. Not to us, at least.
So here's the clincher… what do we do? Should I tell squall?

Quistis,
Everyone else seems to have lost their minds, so you're the only person I have left to turn to. Zell let Seifer into his room without a second thought, even though he had just seen Seifer take down four guards in a single strike without the use of a gunblade or GFs. Irvine is totally indifferent – even happy – about the whole thing. Rinoa and Selphie are too busy drooling over the thought of Squall and Seifer together to consider the potential danger. They're both too quick to trust. But I expect that from all of them. Squall, though… Squall never lets down his guard. Only Seifer could ever…
Of course. Only Seifer could ever get him to react. Only Seifer could ever earn his respect. Only Seifer ever made him feel alive. It's no wonder… Well, I trust Squall. If he thinks Seifer deserves our welcome, then so be it.
And Squall needs this.

The Garden goons buckled to the pressure from all of our surrounding countries/allies (Galbadia, Trabian survivors, so on and so forth) and are currently threatening to shoot through the door, so I'm gonna wager a guess and say that this was our last time together. It was more than I ever could have hoped for, more than I've ever dared to dream. You're so serene in your sleep… Quistis got me a warning. She's trying to stall, but they'll beat down the door soon. But I'm tired of running. I'm not making much sense, am I? Whatever.
I'm glad I got to share this last moment with you. Squall… I never got to say I'm sorry. But I'm gonna wait to say it to your face. I hope it's not at the executioner's block.

Jerkass,
The entire garden is staging a riot. Well, maybe more like a boycott. Everything's shut down – EVERYTHING. Quistis enlisted her fanclub, Irvine gathered up all of his followers (damn lady-killer-grin and its magical properties), Selphie got the support of her bajillion friends, and I have my own share of fangirls to add to the mix – I do! REALLY! So stop smirking. Yeah. I can tell.
Basically, the entire garden is just dead. There won't be classes, training center, cafeteria, NOTHING until we get you out of there, jackass. It's a madhouse.
Biggest deal = squall threatened to quit if you aren't set free. no one wants our resident hero (everybody loves squall) to abandon us, so I assume it'll be a matter of minutes until you're out of there.
