This is my first fanfic so please don't bombard me with e-mails telling me
how crappy it is ok, only write if you have something positive to say. Also
This Fanfic is the result of the many Fanfics I have read, so if there is
something that you recognize as your own and are offended of my use of said
parts, let me know and I will gladly revise it. This is my work so don't
copy it or put it to any other use aside from reading without my approval.
With that said all characters in this fanfic are property of Square Soft
and I'm not getting any money doing this so I guess that doesn't really
matter.

Chapter 1
As the sun rose on the new day, Squall woke up the same way he always did: with that horrible morning taste in his mouth and blurry eyes. He looked over to his window and watched for a moment as the sun rose, savoring every moment of peace and tranquility. It had been almost two months since Ultimacia had been defeated but not much had changed. Squall was still head commander of all the SeeDs on their floating Garden. Rinoa moved out of her home and was now a full-fledged SeeD. Not bad for someone who had never really considered the life of a SeeD, All in all she had managed to become a one in less than a month. She and Matron had weekly lessons to help her get a better understanding of her new powers, and she rather enjoyed the company of another Sorceress or rather Ex-Sorceress. Selphie and Irvine broke up, then they got back together, then broke up again and finally got back together. Oh yeah they broke up again and eventually got back together. However Zell was not so lucky and he and the Girl with the pigtail who worked in the library broke up and stayed that way. Zell didn't really have that big a problem with it. He figured if that was what she wanted, who was he to get in the way of her happiness. She did nothing more than realize that the image of Zell she had in her head wasn't what he turned out to be at all. Quistis eventually regained her teacher's license however decided that she would put off the hectic life of a teacher for a while and became a personal tutor to some of the more gifted students.
The mornings were tiring for everyone however, as they all had to get up extra early in the morning so that they could all head down to the cafeteria before the place filled with eager students, wanting to hear yet again of how the six of them had saved the world and beaten the ultimate evil. Squall and Rinoa were late that morning, though it didn't really bother anyone. Once the whole gang was there it painted a portrait of a group of friends that couldn't be closer. Zell telling jokes with one too many hotdogs in his mouth and Selphie having to slap his back so he could swallow his food and finish telling his joke of the day. Irvine of course was sitting next to Selphie urging her to tell a joke of her own (preferably one more tasteful than Zell's). Squall and Rinoa would look at each other as two people in love would do, and Poor Quistis would sit there next to Zell blushing at the sheer immaturity of his joke. It was one of the best mornings they had ever had.
The rest of the day went pretty well. At about 2:00 pm, Squall and Quistis were summoned to Cid's office and were told that Laguna, Ellone, Ward and Kiros would be visiting the Garden for a few days. However Cid stressed that Ellone wanted to see Squall in private when they arrived. When Squall asked why, all Cid replied with was "She wouldn't say, but it didn't sound like anything too serious." With that they dismissed. They both saluted and started walking away from Cid. Squall looking back as he walked out. Quistis noticed this and asked if he was ok, Squall just nodded his head still wondering, "Why did sis want to talk to me in private? I hope everything is ok." They entered the elevator and headed toward the balcony entrance (witch was where they all hung-out) to tell everyone of the news.
As the private shuttle landed Laguna could feel his leg starting to cramp up. Ellone sitting next to him helped him out of the shuttle, whispering to him, "Don't worry so much, it will all be ok." Laguna merely replied, "I hope to the gods your right." When all four of them reached the Garden they went straight to Cid's office. Laguna explained to Cid why he had come and asked if word of their arrival had already been announced. Of course as he expected the answer was no. They all had a brief conversation with Cid and then finally Squall and the rest of were told to come up to his office to greet the honored guests. When they all arrived Laguna asked that while Squall and Ellone talked in private, if he and the others could be given a tour of the garden.
Once the others were gone Ellone asked Squall if there was a place were they could talk without being interrupted. Squall could think of no other place than the "secret place" that Quistis had shown him on the night he met Rinoa, and with it being so early in the evening no one would be there to disturb them.
It took awhile but they eventually arrived at their desired location when Ellone told Squall the he might just want to sit down for what she had to tell him. She began by telling him of the wonderful things she had been up to while living with Laguna. During the whole conversation she kept referring to how wonderful a person Laguna was, and although Squall didn't have anything against Laguna he was starting to get tired of hearing of what "a wonderful person he was." Eventually Ellone got her point and told Squall that she had found out the identity of his father and that Squall himself knew who he was too. Squall looking rather confused narrowed his eyes and tried to say something but as soon as he opened his mouth, it hit him. Who had she been talking about all this time, who did she keep referring to as "a wonderful person". The realization hit him so hard he nearly forgot to breath. He could barely think, "It can't be him! Anything but that! Why him, of all people why did it have to be that blundering idiot. I don't need this right now, my life is finally starting to calm down and I'm finally starting to be happy for once in my life, I don't need this. I don't want this!" Sure he didn't have anything against Laguna but spending time in Laguna's head hadn't made him like him either". Ellone put her hand on his shoulder and told him, "He's a good man and he really cares a lot about you. Just give him a chance. This was all his idea to let you know this way… he" Squall cut her off, " This way! Let me guess, he was to chicken to tell me himself and sent you to do it for him!" Ellone sharply answered, "No, he thought it would be best if you heard this from someone you trusted." Squall looked at her, and then spoke in a sarcastic tone. "I'll bet that damned leg of his didn't have anything to do with that." Ellone snapped back. "That's not fair" Squall just stood up, looked her straight in her eyes and said " Fair would be not having Laguna as a father, to know that everything he is, is in me. To have been in his head and to have seen him for what he really is, a coward." And with that Squall walked away. He didn't have anything against Laguna…until now.
