Terra looked on as a young man with short, black hair and a girl with long, silver hair and glasses walked down the corridor towards them. The boy was wearing flamed trousers and a black leather jacket whilst the girl was wearing a mid-length blue skirt and a shirt. They were chatting comfortably amongst themselves.
'LOZ!' Terra screamed and ran towards the girl.
'Whoa! Calm down there girl!' Loz exclaimed as Terra hugged her. The man just smiled.
'I'm Zack by the way.' He began as Terra released her grip on Loz. Loz pretended to choke as though she was finding it difficult to breathe. Terra smiled.
'Hi.' Terra replied shaking his hand. She turned round to look at Kai, who was hanging his head. Terra's smile dropped as she, Loz and Zack walked over to him, Xu and Quistis Trepe. Terra came up behind him and gave him a hug. 'You're in a different squad, aren't you?' She asked. Kai sighed and nodded his head. Terra had always been there for him. If he now had to work in a different group without her, then there was no chance that he would become a SeeD. It was almost impossible that Terra wouldn't and then he'd be left all alone whilst she went on dangerous missions and met new people.
'I'm in squad A.' he said. 'You're in Squad C with those two and he's the leader.' Terra followed Kai's finger to Zack who stood there with a look of triumph on his face. This was not fair. She has always been one of the best fighters in the Garden. Why hadn't she been made the leader?
'Well, Zack. This is your second time right?' Quistis suddenly asked. Zack nodded. 'What happened last time? You felt sick didn't you?' Zack blushed.
'Sort of, yeah.' He grinned. 'I was bitten by a bite bug and it got infected.' He explained to Terra, Loz and Kai. 'It was half way through the exam and I had to be taken out. This time i'm gonna do it!' Zack punched his fist in the air. Terra just smirked and turned back to Kai.
'Don't worry.' She said reassuringly. 'You'll pass. I know you will.' Kai smiled and was about to speak but was suddenly interrupted by the same teenager who passed them at the training centre, running towards them. He ran past them again and stopped in front of the two women.
'Ah, Squall. Here you are. You're in squad B. You'll be paired up with Zell Dincht, quite a lively young boy.'
'Lively? He's just loud. Can't I be with someone else?' Squall asked. Terra and the others began to walk away to leave Squall to his angsting and passed a blonde haired boy with a tattoo doing backflips down the corridor.
'Show off.' Loz exclaimed. The group walked together to the dorms where they had been informed to change into their uniforms. Terra waited outside as Kai emerged first, followed by Zack, then finally Loz. They walked together to the car park and chose a blue car which left the garden as soon as they were seated. It seemed a lot larger inside than it did on the sat wit Kai and continued to reassure him that everything would be OK. He had refrained from joining his team members and planned to meet them at Balamb village at the docks. Zack was staring out the window and Loz was playing with her hair absent mindedly. Suddenly, Zack called out.
'We're here! Look at those ships!'
