Terra couldn't believe what she was hearing.
'The field exam is today!' She jumped out of bed and ran around the dorm frantically. She brushed her short, red hair and styled the spikes whilst searching for her field uniform with a toothbrush in her mouth. Terra Diego had recently transferred to Balamb Garden from Galbadia Garden to finish her studies before the field exam in Dollet. Her bright blue eyes shone in desperation as she ran into the bathroom. Her best friend, Kai, was sitting on her bed laughing to himself. Terra popped her head out of the bathroom and sneered at him. Kai immediately stopped laughing.
'You've got 'til this afternoon!' Kai stated. Kai had short black hair and brown eyes and had the strangest personality Terra had ever known. Very crazy! She guessed that this was why they got on so well.
'I don't care!' Terra replied, emerging now fully clothed in her blue uniform. Kai still wore his regular black jacket and three-quarter length trousers. He was in no rush. 'It's better to be ready early for these things.' Kai just shook his head and muttered 'typical women' under his breath. 'Ok, I'm done.' Terra said suddenly.
'Thank Shiva!' Kai said sarcastically and began to leave the dorm. Terra followed close behind as they began down the long corridor that led to the centre of Balamb Garden.
'We need to get a little training in before this afternoon.' Terra started as they passed the car park on their way round the central pillar. She withdrew two long katana from the sheathes on either side of her waist and smiled.
'Come on then!' Kai sighed as he began to pull a shotgun from inside his jacket, but as he did so, a brown haired teenager wearing black and carrying a gunblade ran past them towards the front gate. 'Looks like someone forgot to get Ifrit first.' Kai and Terra laughed as they marched towards the training centre together.
The training centre was empty except for a couple of SeeD candidates getting in some final training. The pair walked round together and through the gate into the main section of the training centre.
'There's something!' Kai shouted as he ran off. Terra looked over and saw him charging towards a Buel, shooting wildly. When being serious, Kai's shooting skills were unmatched, but now however, he was just being himself. Terra charged in and struck down with her first katana, slicing off one of the Buel's tentacles, whilst Kai took out another. She then sent both of the swords straight into the gut, where they stuck. Terra watched as the Buel sank to the ground and vanished. It was dead.
'Damn Terra! Why do you always get the final shot?' Kai said. Terra laughed and began cleaning green blood off her katana with a random leaf.
'Could all SeeD candidates assemble at the control panel please for team forming. Thankyou.' An intercom buzzed over in the background.
'Shoot! Lets go!' Terra cried, running off, slicing another Buel in two mid run.
'Terra! Wait!' Kai called as he ran after her out of the training centre and into the large centre room. When he finally caught up with her, she was waiting impatiently at the control panel. Suddenly, a female SeeD walked up to them, followed by a tall, blonde woman dressed in orange.
'Xu! Instructor Trepe! Who am I with?'
'Calm down!' said Xu, the female SeeD. 'Here comes your team members now'
