Valentines Day at Balamb Garden

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy 8, or its characters.

This is a one shot deal, and my first attempt at a humor fic.

It has been six months since the fall of Ultimecia that life in Spira started to back to normal, but with a few changes. Balamb Garden is mobile now, which means that SeeD can offer their services without the needs for a boat.

Squall Leonheart was in his office, looking over some paperwork. Since Cid became headmaster again, Squall thought that he could just become a regular SeeD again. But as usual, Cid dropped a bomb shell, bigger than a typical Ultima spell, on the overhead speakers; he has announced that Squall is the Commander of Seed, and second in command of garden.

Squall was busy trying to finish up since today was Valentines Day and he was trying to avoid the wraith of Rinoa Heartilly. He knew she could be sweet as an angel one moment, but since she was a sorceress now, when she gets mad, the only thing you want to do is run and hide as quickly as possible. Squall already had something special waiting.

He was almost done until he heard the door to his office open and closed quickly. Looking up he saw Zell Dincht, hiding from Anna (pigtail girl in the Library on the game). Squall just rolled his eyes as he knew why. "Forget about Valentines again, Zell?" he asked.

"Yeah, I was in the middle of my fifth hot dog for the day, when she asked." Zell said.

"We should be arriving at Balamb within the hour. Why don't you take her on a picnic up near the mountains?" Squall said, trying to get rid of him.

"Good idea, thanks Squall." Zell said before going out the door.

Squall went back to work, until Irvine Kinneas came charging in, and hiding behind the closed door. Outside a rather angry Selphie Timmett was yelling out "WHERE IS THAT FLIRTING COWBOY!" That was loud enough to make the walls shake.

Squall felt a little sorry for him, so he gave him the same advice that he gave Zell, than Irvine left.

Squall just finished up his paper work and was getting ready to head out the door until Seifer and Cid came rushing in, trying to find a place to hide. Outside two females could be heard. "WHERE IS THAT NO JERK!" Yelled Quistis. Edea's was "COME OUT OF HIDING YOU BIG NERD!"

Squall was just going to try and leave them there until a rather scarier voice came, "LEONHEART YOU'RE DEAD!" Squall quickly locked the door.

Seifer said with a big laugh "You forgot too?"

Squall just said "I was ready for today."

Cid was next to asked "Then why is Rinoa mad at you?"

Squall simply answered, "I was ready to go on our big date. Must be that time of the month already."

They were both going to ask but stop when they realized what he was referring to. Plus with Rinoa being a sorceress, things were ten times worse.

Squall just asked "Anybody bring any cards? This could take awhile."

If this story turns out dull, I apologize; this is my first humor fic, plus my first FF8 fic.

Read and review.
