over and over. Final Fantasy 8 does NOT belong to me! Though it would be
really awesome if it did…*
The clock struck eleven in the classroom of Quistis Trepe. She was sitting at her desk, correcting the day's written SeeD exams. Working by a dim lamp, her eyes were ready to pop out of her head. 'Come on, only one more and you're done' she thought to herself as she rubbed her bleary eyes. She grabbed her red pen and looked at the name on the exam. Seifer Almasy. She smiled and found the paper to be 100% correct. "Seifer has really changed for the better," she said aloud. In the few months they had been dating, he became a SeeD and rapidly moved up the ranks. She was so proud of his progress; this test just moved him up to level 25. Quistis yawned, gathered the papers into her briefcase, and left the classroom in search of sleep.
When she finally climbed into her comfy bed, it was midnight. She rolled over and had just dozed of to sleep when… RING RING! Her phone rang to rudely interrupt her beauty sleep. She impatiently grabbed the receiver and groaned, "What do you want?" The voice on the other end said, "Yeah, I'd like to order a medium with anchovies and extra cheese, and a large root beer." She laughed and said, "Seifer, what's going on? I'm tired…" He replied, "I'm lonely over here. Can you come tuck me in, maybe read me a bedtime story?"
"No, Seifer, I really need to get some sleep," she said. He dejectedly replied, "All right then. I had wine, candles, and everything… but I guess we'll have to wait…" She chuckled and said, "I'll see you at breakfast. Love you." He replied, "Love you too, bye." She hung up the phone and dozed off into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Quistis was awakened by the shining of immense sunlight in her eyes. She groaned and pulled the sheets over her head. She had been dreaming about Seifer, and didn't want it to end. She finally sat up in bed and plodded over to the bathroom. She opened the shower curtain and screamed at the sight of someone there.
Seifer was sitting in a bubble bath, smiling at her. She sighed and laughed. He was quite a sight to behold: rubber ducky and scrub brush in hand, and a bathing cap with moogles dancing on it. He had a mischievous grin and swished the water in front of him. "There's room for one more," he said, eyes twinkling like emeralds. She shook her head, laughing, then leaned forward and kissed him. "This was a big surprise. And I've got one for you. You're now a SeeD level 25." His eyes widened and pumped his arms in the air. "All RIGHT!"
She said, "I think a little of Zell is rubbing off on you!" He immediately stopped and said, "Oh no! I'm becoming a Chicken Wuss!" He murmured "Oh, no…" as he slid into the water, and the bubbles engulfed him.

At breakfast, Seifer and Quistis sat with their friends. Since the auction, Zell and Larissa had gotten together, as well as Selphie and Irvine. They made a pair of great looking couples.
"Hey, I've got great news!" Seifer exclaimed. "I'm now SeeD level 25!" Everyone congratulated him, even Squall. 'I can't believe this is the same Seifer. He's really changed since he hooked up with Quistis' he thought.
They were all having a great time, laughing and joking around. Then the voice of Headmaster Cid Kramer boomed over the loudspeaker, "Would the following people please report immediately to my office: Squall Leonhart, Zell Dincht, Selphie Tilmitt, Rinoa Heartilly, Irvine Kinneas, Quistis Trepe," he took a deep breath in, "and Seifer Almasy. Come to my office right now." They heard Edea say, "Your condition!" before the announcement ended.
They all stood up. Zell kissed his girlfriend good-bye, and they all left the cafeteria to report to Cid's office.
It was quite a squeeze into the elevator. Someone kept elbowing Selphie, and Irvine was SURE that someone was pinching his ass.
They finally made it to the third floor. They all saluted the Headmaster, and relaxed.
"I have a mission for all of you. It requires our finest warriors, as you all are. You will all go undercover to unravel a group of thieves." Seifer groaned and asked, "You want us to do the work of the police?" Cid replied, "I'm not finished. This thief has stolen artillery from us. We're not sure who the person is affiliated with, but the artillery he possesses is very potent. It could destroy Balamb, Trabia, and Galbadia Gardens, with some power to spare. You will all be dispatched to Timber to find this person; it was where he was last seen. Here is his picture—memorize it, find him, get our weapons back, and destroy the group he is associated with. And by the way, since you are world famous, disguises and temporary names are in order. I will leave it up to you to determine these factors, but please make them convincing. Dismissed."
