It just wasn't his style. Falling all over himself to please a woman. Not Seifer Almasy. But she had been so…different.
He had been on a pleasure trip to Timber with his posse, Fujin and Raijin. Well…okay, it was more than just a 'pleasure' trip…word had it that Timber was working towards its independence…which meant a battle was coming. Revolutions always led to fighting, and fighting was what he knew best. He smirked. Leading the people of Timber to independence… He could definitely make a name for himself. That could keep him temporarily satisfied until he was able to fulfill his dream.
Timber wasn't too far off from a beach, so the three of them headed out to go fishing before finding the hotel. It was at the beach he had first seen her…kicking at the sand, her hands clasped behind her back as the tail of her blue duster flapped in the ocean breeze.
He had never expected the sight of a woman to take his breath away so completely or so literally. She was beautiful; but it was something more than that.
"SEIFER!" A hand violently waved in front of his face as he had snapped out of his daze and turned to Fujin. She pointed towards their third friend, who was tangled up in fishing line. "PROBLEM. RAIJ."
Seifer shook his head. "I dunno how you manage to survive day to day sometimes man…" he said as he helped unravel Raijin. His eyes fell back on the spot the girl had been standing. She was gone. Damn…
And he wondered if he had only imagined her.

Author's notes and disclaimer: Yada yada…typical disclaimer, the characters are the result of Squaresoft's genius, not mine. I don't own 'the posse', I don't own Miss Heartilly (though I wish that I WAS Rinoa), etc. etc. I'm not doing this to earn money (though working for Squaresoft would totally rock)
Chapter 1 is short...I know, following chapters will normally be longer, I promise!
New Author's Notes: Finally after nearly a year, I've gotten back to writing this fic. Please leave reviews, they inspire me to work faster!
