Where do I start this story? The beginning would, of course be the obvious place, but that was so long ago, I can't even remember it anymore. So I'll start this story at the end of a different beginning. The end of the third Sorceress war, and the beginning of a new life for me.


My name is Seifer Almasy. It has been two yeas since the defeat of Ultemecia, and I am still paying for what I have done in the past. I am twenty years old, and I am once again trying to win over the heart that drove me to this all in the first place. No, it's not Rinoa, fuck that bitch. I'm sick of everyone always fucking assuming shit about me. No, I never loved her, I never even liked her. But she looked so much like my shining star that I slept with her, pretended she was the one.


But that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is this. I'm sitting on the dock and for the next two hours I have to wait patiently for the meeting about my reinstatement to Balamb Garden.

"Guys are like stars, did ya know that Seifer? There's a million of them out there, but only one makes all your wishes and dreams come true." Selphie looked over and smiled at me. Fucking hyperactive little brunette. I still don't understand how the two of us can stand each other. "Maybe Squall will realize what a huge asset you would be to garden. I mean really, you were the sorceress's knight, who would know more about the way they think then you? Well except Rinoa of course, but last I heard, after she and Squall broke up she ran off to Esthar and is currently fucking Laguna's brains out."


"Selphie! I don't need to even e thinking about Rinoa fucking… Wait, she and Squall broke up? When did this happen?" My hyperactive friend had my full attention now.


"Well, last week or so, I thought I told you. But that's not important right now. What's important is that you finish memorizing all the rules and guidelines so-"

"Selphie, I know the rules and guidelines. I WAS head of the disciplinary committee in my cadet days here, remember? I broke most of them then."

"Oh, right. Well if you don't have to work on that, are you gonna want more help writing that letter? I talked to Irvine last night and…"
I spaced out listing to her. She was going on about sweet romantic things that I should include in the letter, Hyne in hell; I don't even know why I asked for her help in the first place. Like she would have nay clue what would get the attention of the frigid iceberg known as Squall Leonhart.


Selphie snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Jeeze, you'd think you were almost becoming him with the way you've been spacing out lately. It's time to go. Do you want me to walk with you?"


I glanced at my watch. No wonder Squall always looked so confused, getting absorbed into your own thoughts takes a lot of time.

"Nah. I think I'll just go by myself." I stood up and from where I was at I could see Zell playing Frisbee with a neighbors dog. "But it looks like Zell could use some company. Just don't tell him I was being nice."


Selphie waved and ran off to talk to Zell, and started the ten-minute walk to the Garden, the walk that could change the rest of my life. And this time for the better.



A/N: Okay you guys, I know I've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm back. Let me know what you people think. I crave feedback.
