Summary: AU. Three friends find themselves at an orphanage after their ship is destroyed. The leader Laguna finds a child there that resembles his dead wife.
Chapter One
The small boat tossed and sputtered in the churning ocean. The storm was creating monster waves that attacked the boat of wood and steel. The black sky boomed omenously and lit up with spider web flares of lightning.
Laguna Loire stood at the navigational panel and stared at the map in his hands. 'Ward and Kiros are right. We are lost.' He thought and Kiros Seogill walked up behind him.
"We need to find land fast Laguna. the storm is getting even worst if you can believe that." Kiros said and Laguna nodded.
They felt the boat rocking like mad and Laguna sighed. The storm brought up old memories of his wife Raine who died three years ago when he was away. 'The towns people of Winhill aren't telling me something, but even though I am the President of Esther, they won't tell me crap.' Laguna thought.
The thunder broke his thoughts and Ward Zabac ran onto the bridge and yelled. "There's a monster tidal wave about to hit us!"
They braced as the ship was crashed into, making it rock harder and water sprayed inside. Cracking was heard and they were thrown to the floor, unconscience.
Eyes fluttered and Laguna groaned after coughing. 'Oh I feel like shit.' He thought and finally opened his green eyes. Ward, Kiros and himself were all in bed.
"You're awake." Ward said and Laguna groaned again as he sat up.
"I feel like a semi hit me. What the hell happened?" Laguna asked, looking around the small room. Plushy brown carpet laid on the floor and the walls were stone with pictures adorning it.
Kiros leaned back against the headboard of his bed and cleared his throat. "The storm destroyed out boat and we somehow floated up to this place, a orphanage around the Centra Ruins. The couple here healed us and carriede us in." He said.
The door opened and a chubby man with glasses and a beautiful tall woman walked in. "Nice to see that all of you are awake. I'm Edea Kramer and this is my husband Cid." The woman said and Cid warmly smiled at them.
"What should we call you while you're here?" Cid asked.
"My name is Ward Zabac. That's Kiros Seogill and Laguna Loire." Ward said.
"What time is it?" Laguna asked.
"It's nearly 6:00 PM. Tuesday." Edea said.
"Tuesday? What happened to Monday?" Laguna asked.
"You guys were out cold." Cid said. "Slept most of the time."
"We found some of your stuff that washed up on the beach. It's drying right now." Edea said. "Now you three must be starving, how about some homemade stew?"
"That sounds good." Kiros said before Laguna could shout in excitment.
"Okay. Just stay hwere and we'll bring some bowls in with drinks." Cid said and him and Edea slipped out.
"Nice people." Laguna said and looked around again. "I wonder where the bathroom is." He glanced around againd and Ward shook his head. They went quiet as Cid and Edea walked in with trays, giving each man one.
"Here you go." Edea said and they thanked the two. "Now don't get out of bed, except to use the bathroom. By morning you three should be able to go about." She said. "But it might be wise to stay around for a bit."
"Now the bathroom is right there." Cid said, pointing to a door near the entrance heading out of the room.
"By the way what do you two do for a living?" Laguna asked and Kiros rolled his eyes, taking a bite of food.
"I'm Matron of this orphanage. Cid is the Headmaster of Balamb Garden. Oooh, that means I need to go check on the children." Edea said and left with a wave.
"Well I'll let you guys be, just use that button or holler for us." Cid said and left.
"So THIS is an orphanage huh? Must be hard." Laguna thought out loud.
"I hope Madeline is okay, I need to call her sometime to tell her I'm okay." Ward said.
"I'm sure your wife will understand." Kiros said and Laguna yawned. Thunder started crackling outside again and Laguna sighed.
"Don't think of Raine either, just get some rest." Kiros told him. "Just calm down you two."
Eventually they all used the bathroom and went to sleep, dreaming of their loved ones.
