A/N: This would be my first fic and you could say I'm writing it just for experience with this site I guess. But I'm still trying hard! So, just review and tell me if it sucks or if it's good! Hahaha... Well, enjoy.

Chapter One: Paperwork.

It was a dark and stormy night, and Squall was home, as was the rest of his team, on a fresh vacation. He and the others had just come back from a two-month mission to Esthar, to kill off all of the monsters that arrived in the Lunar Cry.

However, Squall had been forced to begin his revered vacation the way he always did. Mission reports and other important information.

"Mission accomplished?" Squall read aloud, putting his pen to the paper.

"Yes. All monsters were destroyed or captured, perimeter fences and security cameras were placed…," muttered Squall tiredly, as his pen glided over the paper. This summary report was boring, and the questions he was answering were already answered in the overall report!

"Why is this relevant?" Squall griped loudly to himself. It made him so mad that he had wasted a whole day of vacation on repetitive reports that wouldn't even be read. He just wanted some sleep. He had earned it, it was his right.

Slowly, Squall decided whining to himself wouldn't do much for his predicament, so he got back to his papers.

"Gil earned…they should know this, I mean they pay me!" Squall sighed.

"1,735,000 Gil earned." This drew a chuckle from Squall. He was rich enough to buy almost half of Esthar, and he'd been a SeeD for what, 4 months? He had enough money to retire and he was just approaching 18 years old. Slightly encouraged by this benefit, Squall continued.

"Guardian Forces encountered: acquired ratio," read Squall.

"Three: three." Squall answered aloud, while writing it on the paper.

Squall thought about this for a while. Until this mission, it was believed that they had captured or destroyed every GF, with the exception of the one Selphie claimed to have had in Trabia Garden. Now, however, there was a completely new class of GFs, and they were superior to the older ones in most ways. Cid had put Squall in charge of a whole new division of Garden, the 'GF Experiments', whose job was to identify new GFs, classify them, and make sure they are safe for use and other important details.

Although Squall despised being responsible for a bunch of brains and hated that he was going to be weighed down by more work, there was a positive to all of this. Any new GF that was discovered by a SeeD member or a Garden student was immediately transferred to Squall, who was allowed to junction them because he had Griever junctioned onto him.

This brought around another train of thought in Squall's mind. He had somehow junctioned Griever when Ultimecia died. It had been shown in studies by this new "GF department" that junctioning many GFs, especially these new ones, could be harmful both physically and mentally damaging in a brief amount of time. Most cases, people just went into a coma and were impossible to draw back. However, it seems that Griever balances out the ill effects, making Squall safe.

Squall's brain was aching from going over all of this information. It was so much information to take in so quickly.

Sighing, Squall signed the final paper and placed it on the huge stack of papers he had already written.

Squall slouched in his chair and started letting sleep take him away.
