Side Note: This
is my first FF8 fic and my second Final Fantasy fic all together. Just a little warning to all those to attempt to read this. I am crazy. There! That was the most important one of all. The second is that this is based on what would happen if instead of running into Selphie before going off to the fire cavern Squall ran into someone else. Basically I am using the FF8 characters but I chucked the plot now lets see Psycho Ivy's version of FF8....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I own no one... and nothing... I live with my parents for crying out loud so please don't sue! Wait I own Sylvan and Azurea and I own The GFs "Jocasta" and "Four Horsemen"

Ch--1
Thump! Thump! Thump! The sounds of a bouncing ball and footsteps could be heard down the hall as Squall made his way towards the second floor hallway. This way ward quiet seventeen-year-old had no clue who was about to collide with his life. The noise was getting louder.
'What the hell?' He thought as he looked down the hall just in time to see a white haired girl run into him.
"OH! I'm sorry!" She said as bent over to pick up the red ball she had dropped.
"..."
"Oh I see one of the silent types eh!? I just transferred here this s'morning and I'm kinda lost... I can't find my dorm or anything!" She said shaking her head, as she looked up at him his gray eyes met her dark azure blue ones.
"Oh...."
"Well... C'mon you can show me!" She said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the elevator.
"No.... I don't have time I have to meet Quistis and go get my GF" He said as he yanked his hand away. The girl sniffs the air.
"I smell Asshole!" She says as she gets in the elevator followed by Squall. There was no snappy remark or even a come back. She blankly looked at him.
"You're an odd child aren't you?" She said laughing.
"Odd or not I still have to take My SeeD field exam today"
"Ahhh.... So you want to be in SeeD? That's interesting... I want to be a SeeD too... That was my dream for the longest... Now do you know what my dream is?" She said smiling looking up at him because she was only 4'9"
"What?" He said looking down at her she grinned.
"To annoy the hell out of you good sir!" She said grinning as the elevator stopped. She quickly stepped out.
"...."
"We'll meet again! I can feel it" She said as she ran down the stairs and out of site.
'That is one odd little girl' He thought as he made his way out side. There instead of Finding Quistis alone he found Quistis and the girl.
"So you just transferred here from Galbadia Garden?"
"Yes... I just enrolled today and I can't find anything" the girl said watching Squall approach,
"Oh I didn't catch your name what was it again?" Quistis said looking at the girl she turned her attention back to Quistis.
"Sylvan... Sylvan Lake" She said laughing.
"That's a very ironic name... Well Sylvan I hope you find your stay here to be more pleasant... by the way... this is Squall Leonhart. He's going out for SeeD like your self" Quistis said pointing to Squall who was still standing dumbfounded by the stairs.
"Hi Squall" She said grinning as she looked at him.
'How did she get over here' Squall thought as he studied her.
"Sylvan! I found out how to get to our dorms! C'mon!" Someone yelled from behind Squall he turned around to find the same girl.
"Oh that's my twin Azurea... She's quite a loud person if you ask me... She wants to be a SeeD to go career... I want to be an instructor I think would have been better if I had stay at Galbadia" Sylvan said before she walked over to her sister.
"Nice meeting you two" Sylvan said before walking off.
"They don't like each other all that much Sylvan was telling me about how Azurea always gets her in trouble some how"
"Whatever" he said as they left the safety of the garden for the outside world.
After acquiring the GF Squall and Quistis returned to find every one lining up for their assignment for the SeeD field exam.
"You should go get changed now and meet me out in the main hall to get your assignment" she said as she walked away. Squall sat outside for a while and just stared off into the vast plane. Someone tapping on his shoulder shook him from his trance. He turned around to find one of the twins.
"Can you help me get my sister... She's been training since we got situated and she needs to get changed for the exam" he looked down at the girl. She had deep green eyes; Azurea had blue eyes so this must be Sylvan he reasoned as he looked at her.
"All right I'll help you" He said as turned around and faced the building.
"She's in the Training Center... This guy named Seifer showed us around and when they got to the training center she challenged him... and they've been in there since then" Sylvan said as they walked through the humongous garden.
'Why did I say yes it's not my problem' He thought as the walked into the training center to find Seifer and Azurea fighting each other both with a gun blade. He was in a daze as he watched Azurea's boundless energy as she delivered blows you could easily see that Seifer was tired. Twice she came within inches of giving him the same scar that adorned Squalls forehead. She knocked him down and put her foot on his chest.
"And that is how you win... Mr. Seifer" Azurea said grinning as she caressed his face with her shoe. She then smiled and walked away passed. Squall and Sylvan.
"Azurea your exam!" Sylvan said as she ran after Azurea who was half way down the hall.
Squall went to his dorm room and quickly got changed. He started down the hall only to be hit in the face by a door.
"Wow what the hell was that?" Azurea said as she peaked around the door to see Squall lying on the floor,
"See I told you we'd meet again" she said as she offered a hand to help him up.
"Whatever" he said as he got up on his own.
"Is that all you can say? Whatever? Are you that dim witted that you can't think of anything else to say other than 'Whatever'?" She said as she followed him down the hall.
"Whatever" He said as he started to go towards the main hallway.
"So how'd you get the scar?" She said as she touched the vulnerable flesh on his forehead he turned away from her.
"Oh see I struck a nerve! Dear lord this troubled child has feelings!" She said laughing as she walked next to him.
"Seifer" He said as he walked over to where Quistis was.
"Hmm.... one word answers and pathetic comebacks.... Someone's obviously not the brightest bulb in the pack!" Azurea said smiling as she crossed her arms.
"I have here your squads for the SeeD exam on this form" Quistis said holding up a clipboard with a manila envelope clipped to it.
"Squad A............ Squad B Squad leader, Seifer Alamsy The members of squad B will be, Squall Leonhart"
"The simple minded" Azurea added under her breath.
"Zell Dincht"
"Zell rhymes with hell" Azurea added again
"And a new addition... Azurea the large mouthed one" Quistis said grinning.
"You'll be briefed on the way there" Quistis added as every one left.
"So who's this Zell person?" Azurea said as she walked quickly behind Squall.
"Do you know you get points taken off for talking" he said looking at her.
"Oh my! I got a sentence out of you! There may be hope for you yet Squall!" She said giggling as she got in the van that was going to take the to the Balamb port.
Half way there Squall got fed up with Azurea's incessant chatter.
"What's wrong with you don't you ever shut up!" He yelled as he looked over at her. She shrank back for a moment and then countered.
"WOW he has emotions too! This is quite a treat!" She said as she crossed her legs.
"Quistis who was the girl in the infirmary this morning?" He said as he turned his attention to Quistis
"Some one was there? I'm sorry I didn't see them" she said shaking her head. After another few moments. Seifer looked around.
"Great I'm stuck with a guy who just reached puberty, a chicken wus and a girl who won't shut up" Seifer said laughing.
"I'll show you who's chicken wus!" Zell said jumping up.
"You ass hole sit the fuck down can't you see that's the reaction he wanted!" Azurea said shaking her head.
"Pretty good advice for a fuckin' chatter box" He said looking at her.
"Wow... I didn't know that you trained Chimps for battle here too!" Azurea said as she crossed her legs. Seifer just stared at her. Her white hair was pulled into a bun on the top of her head. Her hair wasn't gray it was snow white.
"What the fuck is up with your hair?" Seifer said looking at her. She looked up.
"My sister and I witnessed our parents' bloody murder in Dealing City when we were three" She said making sure her eyes met Seifer's.
"Man... I'm sorry" Zell said looking at her she shook her head.
"Don't be"
"Hey Squall can I see your gunblade?" Zell said as he turned to Squall trying to change the subject.
"...."
"Fine!.... Azurea can I see yours?" He said looking at her she was in a trance staring out the window.
"Azurea? Hello?" He said as he watched her Squall had even looked up.
"That's how she prepares her self for any type of battle she's off in Azurea land right now... her last instructor was telling me about it" Quistis said watching the others faces they nodded.
When the van stopped Azurea stood up and pulled out her gun blade.
"Oops... force of habit" she said as she put it back and yawned. Just then the door opened.
"Are you nervous?" She asked Squall he looked at her and shook his head.
"Have you ever been in a real battle before?"
"I have this is my fourth time" Seifer said as he walked passed.
"I wasn't asking you Asshole!" She said narrowing her eyes at Seifer.
"Doesn't he get on your nerves?" She said shaking her head.
'Not as much as you do' Squall thought smiling as he looked at her.
"Whatever" He said as he walked towards the boat.
"Whatever whatever whatever!"
"So is Sylvan taking the exam?" Squall said as they go in.
"Why the hell should you care about her... she has the hots for Seifer! Oops I wasn't supposed to say that!... anyways No because she couldn't pass the written part! I guess I got all the brains huh?" She said laughing as she sat down.
'You got all the mouth too' he thought as he looked at the wide-eyed look on Seifer's face.
"What? Surprised that she likes you... you shouldn't be she's nothing but a whore" Azurea said laughing.
"Azurea that's enough if you talk once from now on your rank is going down" Quistis said as she felt the shudder of the boat as it started to move.
Several minutes later Xu walked in wearing her SeeD uniform.
"I'll be explaining the mission and the mission objective to you... We are on our way to Dollet, which has been under siege by troops from Galbadia... The request for SeeD was made eighteen hours ago..." Xu's attention went to Azurea who was doing the talking hand thing.
"If you think you can explain it any better here" She said as she handed Azurea the Clipboard she took it and scanned it once over.
"Okay... Blah blah blah blah... basically we're going to Dollet a bunch of Bad ass Troops from Galbadia...(my home country) have been attack Dollet for a couple days they asked for SeeD's eight teen hours ago which means they're probably still getting the crap whooped out of them... our objective it to open a can of SeeD quality whoop ass on them and liberate the city... we which is Squad B... (Obviously where they put the social outcasts) is to go no farther then the square... what a load of BS... so while the real SeeD go to the mountain we are basically there to wipe there Ass when there done... what a load of BS" She said as she threw the clip board down on the table in front of her.
"Any questions?" She said looking around. No one moved.
"I thought not" she then walked back over next to Seifer and sat down.
"Squall go see what's going on out side" Seifer said as he turned to Squall.
".......Okay" he said as he stood up and walked outside.
"I'm going too" Azurea said as she stood up and followed him.
