Squall's Female Replica Chapter 1

(DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters (including Balamb garden and other areas) from Final Fantasy VIII they all belong to Square soft electronics. I only own Squall's replica and Sophie, oh and this idea about Squall's replica. The beginning theme is not my own, it is also from the game itself, but I'm telling, you, it changes after Quistis gets Squall. So please, don't sue me...)

(AN: My first Fic!!! I hope you like it!!! Just to make it less confusing in later chapters, Irvine and co, already know each other, okay? This is just to make it less confusing when they pop up in later chapters.)

Squall rubbed is pounding head. He fingered a thin wound on his forehead left by his arch nemesis Seifer Almasy. They had gotten into a fight earlier because Seifer accused him of stealing his shoe polish. Odd thing to fight over really, but then again Seifer reacts to almost anything.

"Ugh, where am I?" Squall moaned as he turned over on the fluffy feather mattress in the infirmary.

"Well, well, looks who's awake." Dr. Kadowaki said, entering the room. She set down a tray she was carrying on the bedside table, which carried some medicine and disinfectants. "Let's disinfect that cut of yours, I'm almost positive its going to leave a scar." The doctor said as she applied the stinging disinfectant, Squall winced as it touched his open wound. "You two, why can't you just get along? You're always fighting, be it in the hallway or in the bathroom. I'm always finding one of you in here with some sort of injury." The doctor babbled, as she applied even more stinging fluid to his wound.

"When will she ever stop babbling?" Squall thought to himself. Finally, Dr. Kadowaki closed up the bottle of disinfectant and threw out the cotton balls and swabs. "There, now how do you feel?"

Squall's head was pounding and it hurt, but he really wanted out and away from the nurse. "Alright, I guess." Squall lied, sitting himself upright once more. The nurse sighed, "Alright, I'll go call Quistis, she'll come get you." Then she added, "Why can't you and Seifer get along?"

"Because Seifer's a @!#$%^&*!" Squall swore, pounding his fist on the bedside table.
The nurse left the room and called Quistis. "Yes, Instructor Trepe, I have one of your students here, please come get him. Yes, its Leonhart." Squall overheard the Doctor tell his instructor. He turned his head to the side and saw a youth stare at him.

"Squall, we meet again." She said.

"Who are you?" but the youth disappeared.

BANG....rumble, rumble, rumble.

"What the hell was that?" Squall thought to himself, as the ground shook beneath him. The doctor steadied herself by leaning on her desk for support. A moment later Quistis entered the room through the instructors entrance, only for staff, not students.

"Instructor, do you know what that was?" Dr. Kadowaki asked.

"I'm afraid not, I came through the staff entrance." Quistis explained, she turned to Squall, "Come on Leonhart, let's get going." She said as she held out her hand to help Squall to his feet. Squall ignored her offer and got shakily to his feet, he steadied himself then began to follow Quistis out of the room. They took the normal route, the one students took. The went through the infirmary hallway and found themselves in the center of Balamb Garden. Suddenly, Quistis stopped dead in her tracks and gasped, covering her mouth with a gloved hand.

"Oh...my..."she gasped. Squall stopped abruptly and his eyes widened. Balamb Garden was a mess, it looked like a bomb just hit, which was quite probable. "What happened?" he thought to himself, running a hand through his hair. He saw something in the distance, in front of the training center, he squinted to get a better look. Wha.... It was an elevator. He poked Quistis in the back then jabbed his finger in the direction of the elevator.

"Let's go check it out," he said, as he dashed off towards the elevator, Quistis tagging behind.

"Squall, are you sure this is safe, what if its invading Galbadian soldiers, or sorceress Edea?" Quistis inquired, running as fast as she could to catch up with Squall's steady running. Squall ignored her and continued running. If it were invading Galbadian soldiers, he was ready for them, he was a SeeD, they were unbeatable!

They finally reached the elevator, Squall cautiously approached it, he laid a hand on the door, as he did that someone on the inside began screaming.

"LET US OOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!" a girl screamed in an irritating high pitched way. Squall turned to Quistis. "Someone's in there. We'd better let her out." Quistis said, eyeing the elevator door a little warily. Squall sighed, great, he was playing Prince Charming saving the damsel in distress, what would Rinoa think about this? He tried to pry the doors open, but wasn't strong enough, Quistis joined him and pulled, with their forces combined, they managed to pry open the doors. Once open a blond girl flew out into Squall's arms.

"Thank you, thank you so much, I thought I'd die in there." The girl sobbed, staring weakly up at Squall, who seemed to be uncomfortable. Quistis was muffling her laughs. Squall was a woman attractor.

"Sophie, leave the poor guy alone." A voice came from within the elevator. That really startled Squall and Quistis, they peered into the elevator to see who else was in there. Squall's eyes widened in surprise. This girl was a female replica of himself. They were wearing the same clothes, they were the same height, age, same lip and nose shape, same scar on the bridge of her nose, you name it she had it. Squall noticed that she wasn't wearing a lion pendant like he did, but she wore a horse pendant. Her hair was a bit longer than his and was kept up in a short pony tail, but had lots of bangs, styled in the way he styled his own. What intrigued him the most out of all, was that at her side, sheathed, was a gunblade. She was basically his replica but with more female features!

The two of them stared at each other for the longest minute. Does he/she have the same attitude as I do, they both thought simultaneously. Quistis had her eyebrows raised, surprised at what just came out of the elevator. Sophie, on the other hand was delighted.

"Oh, my God, you two look exactly alike!" she squealed, she turned to the Squall look-alike. "Ex-nay the fact that you have female features girl, you look more feminine and you look manlier." She purred as she edged closer to Squall, who edged away.

"Sophie calm down." The female look-alike snapped, Sophie recoiled.

"Whoa...she sounds like me." Squall thought himself, he decided to speak up. "Erm, who are you?"

"I'm Sophie!" Sophie squeaked, bouncing up and down like a pogo stick.

"So it seems," Squall replied a bit coldly, he turned to his look-alike. "And you?"

"Do you really need to know?" his look-alike replied coldly, turning her brown eyes on him.

"Yeah, that would be nice." Squall retorted irritably, feeling oddly cranky.

"Tch, fine, Gwen." She said, rolling her eyes slightly.
