Prologue
AN: Ok there are three firsts here at least. 1. My first Squalphie, 2. My first Final Fantasy 8 fic, and 3. My first fic that isn't a poem of some kind! I'll try and stay as much in character as I can. There's also a lot of political background as well, but there are two sides to the story. What's going in the world, and what's happening between our little six. Enjoy!
It had been 6 months since "The Ultimecia Incident". And many interesting things had happened since then.
Squall and Cid decided to split the decision making between different people for different departments of Garden. Cid is responsible for all negotiations between Garden and other parties, and acts as the administrator. Squall is Mission Commander and deals with most of the actual military decisions, sometimes going on especially important missions himself.
Quistis regained her Instructor license and Xu became Headmistress, and took charge of the syllabus and who teaches what.
Selphie became Event Co-Ordinator and ever since, there has been a special event once every 2 months. (yes she's that good at it)
Zell had a fantastic 6 months after the incident, rising up the ranks of SeeD phenomenally quickly, until he settled at becoming the Head Of Faculty in Hand To Hand combat.
On the grounds of being one of "The Legendary Six" Irvine became a SeeD on condition of only passing The Garden Code Of Conduct Test, which he aced.
He is now training to become an Instructor in Firearms, which he well on his way to achieving.
Rinoa however, has struggled to become a SeeD and seems to just leech of her now assumed boyfriend Squall.
Seifer returned to Deling City, where he is now President. He and Squall settled their differences finally (after one last battle, just for fun really) and they now have a strong friendship, both personally and politically.
Laguna has donated vast sums of money to Trabia to help rebuild it, which has recently been completed, and also has now improved his relationship with his son.
Here's a brief timeline of what's happened the past 2 months.
April 1st Cid, Seifer and Laguna all agreed on an idea of having hotlines between nations' ruling offices.
So now for example Mayor Dobe can talk to Headmaster Cid, Seifer, Laguna or whoever's in power that he wants to talk to.
April 19th of this year, Seifer signed the "Empire Relinquishment Treaty" and liberated Timber, Dollet, and several strategic locations dotted around the world.
Elections then began for whom to place in power.
May 1st Timber had finalised their election, and placed the woman who'd fought most for their independence, the leader of the Forest Fox resistance as Mayoress of Timber.
The current date is May 20th and a lot is about to happen…
AN: Sorry it's so short at the moment, I'm trying to think of some more ideas for the history, but I have a few ideas that I quite like. Let's hope it works eh?
