It seemed just like any other Sunday at Balamb Garden. Being Sunday, everyone was happily waking up at around noon. The summer heat was at it's highest, and many sought refuge in their dorms. But Squall had other plans today. Today, he was to partake in a great contest.
Summer was over half over. In another month and a half, the leaves of the surrounding forests would soon take a dull hue and, eventually, fall to the ground, marking the start of yet another winter. Today was perhaps the most anticipated of each summer. Today was the SeeD Summer Festival.
Most anyone would be content with just the music and sheer joy associated with this festive day, but Squall had his sights set on one particular event. In this event, anyone willing to participate would be given a camera, a score sheet, their team mates, and their time limit. The goal was to hunt down as many rare creatures as they could find in the woods, and take pictures of them.
The ultimate goal in this, was that someone would find an extremely rare or previously unknown creature. This would not only benefit his score, but the scientists that study these woods. It also gave the participants the chance to work in groups and hopefully make some friends. The winning group of this contest received a trophy, and each member got a cash prize.
Squall was up early that morning. He had been looking forward to this day for a few weeks now. He would finally get the chance to prove that he could work well in a group, and he was confident that his group had a good chance of winning. But that day would turn out to be one of the scariest days of his life.
