Author's Note: M'kay, I don't own Final Fantasy, or anything related to it. But, I wouldn't mind owning Zell or Seifer. ^.^
Chapter One: Anew
"You SeeDs did a fine job out there," Cid said, rambling on with his appraisal. " A damn fine job, you made everybody proud. You had alot of pressure on you, and you made it through it all, like a true SeeD would."
'Jesus' Zell thought to himself, drifting in and out of awareness,
'Doesn't he see how tired we are? Why doesn't he just shut his fucking mouth and let us sleep?'
"Anyway..Ah.." Cid stuttered, beginning to realize no one was listening, " I have just one more thing to say, and then I'll let you go.. And that is-"
Suddenly the door flew open and in stormed an angel. She was petite, with jaw-length razor cut black hair, very pale. Her eyes were hidden by a pair of black sunglasses. She sported a long white trench coat, one Zell had seen alot. Underneath was a tight black shirt, a small black skirt and knee-high boots.
"Young lady, what is the meaning of just barging in here like that?!" Cid said, obvisiously angered by the young woman's actions.
She just glared at Cid, and Zell could tell, even through the sunglasses, that there wasn't anything nice gleaming in her eyes.
"I'm here," she said, slowly, as if savouring every word like a fine wine. " To apply to be a SeeD. I've had all my basic training already."
"And you think that means you can just walk in here? Unannounced no less." Cid said, his frustration with her growing bigger, Zell hid a smile.
She slowly lifted her glasses off of her face. She had small emerald eyes, pasted in hate and rage. So familiar, yet so vague, Zell couldn't think of who she reminded of to save her life.
"Yes," she said, her hate for Cid very obivious. " And I think you're going to give me what I want too."
"OH really now?!" Cid exclaimed, his face steadily growing redder and redder. " And what makes you think this?!"
"Because..." The girl replied, smirking at Cid, "You fucked my brother over, and now, it's payback. You can either grant me my application, or I can personally see to the end of your career."
"ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!" Cid yelled, no longer caring if he got upset.
"Yes.. Yes, I am" she said, and she turned her back to face Cid perfectly. Zell couldn't see what she did, but whatever it was was enough to turn the Headmaster's face stark white.
"Alright.." Cid said slowly, "Um... Zell, show her around, and to her room."
Zell sighed and stood up. 'Why do I always get stuck doing shit like this?' he wondered quietly to himself as he walked towards the door.
"What's your name?" Zell asked the mysterious young lady as he started to show her around.
"Ceres.." She replied, quietly, calmer than what she had been with Cid. "Ceres Almasy..."
"ALMASY?!" Zell exclaimed, it suddenly hitting him who she reminded him of. Seifer. Seifer Almasy. The asshole jerk.
"Yes," she responded, her anger coming back, "Seifer is my older brother, and if you've got a problem about that, then we better just take care of it right here and now."
"Uh.. No!" Zell stuttered, seeing the growing hate in her eyes, "It's okay.. I mean... Just.. Nice to meet ya!"
Ceres stopped in midstep. She slowly turned to Zell, her look of hatred turning into curiousty. She reached up and traced the tattoo on his face. "That must of hurt alot, eh?"
Zell nodded slowly, amazed at how quickly the new girl could change her moods.
Ceres smiled. "Well, I guess I better get to my room and get situated, got a big day tomorrow."
"Yeah, OK." Zell said, suprised to find himself smiling back at her.
"But," Ceres said before walking away, "I'd like to see more of you. You're really nice, and my brother talked about you alot. He was very fond of you. I'll be seeing you soon then, no?"
Zell was shocked. Seifer, talked about him? Was fond of him? What the hell?! "Yeah, sure!" He said, his face suddenly turning bright red.
Ceres laughed and quickly kissed him on the cheek, then smiled and ran off to her room.
'Jesus...' Zell thought to himself as he dizzily made his way back to his own room. ' I wonder what she meant.. '
