THE GATHERING !!!
Selphie and Irvine had finished packing, and went to visit Raijin and Fujin who were relaxing in the Disciplinary Committee, (DC) quarters. It was a fine bright day, whereby there was nothing much to do. The DC was not the same without Seifer, ever since he disappeared after the time compression, nobody knew if he survived or not. In result Raijin and Fujin returned to Garden and were reaccepted due to the circumstances, and became part of the gang, as they had no one to turn to when they returned. They escaped Lunatic Pandora, by jettisoning them selves through one of the many escape pods of the obscure ship, and when they returned to Balamb, they trained hard and passed their SeeD exams a month later and now hold a high SeeD rank.
Raijin's simple, yet annoying behaviour had slowly dissipated, but not entirely. He may have acted dumb, but he was very observant of the surroundings behind him and knew when and when not to talk. However Fujin her cold and icy demeanour had disappeared, she spoke more in full sentences, leaving her monosyllabic speech impediment behind.
After a few months passed, Raijin had matured slightly as Fujin began to notice this, and acted less violent towards the hulking young man that always stood by her. She knew that he meant well, even if he did have the tendency to be infuriating without knowing it, however Fujin began to take a liking to him, as he was always beside her, and has never let her down as a friend. The two decided to start things slowly as a general couple, which slowly took its pace over the years, as each fell deeply in love with the other. One could say that the disappearance of Seifer brought around many good changes in people; conversely he will be missed by many.
"Hey guys whassup," cried a cheerful Selphie
"Same as usual Selphie" murmured Fujin
" Nothin's the same without Seifer ya know!
Fujin looked down in remorse, only confirming the fact that Raijin stated.
"Well hey guys come on, we got some time off. We're going to the orphanage, it's gonna be FUN! FUN! FUN! As Selphie tried to brighten the mood of the conversation
"Thanks Selphie ya know! It'll be cool ya know! Thanked Raijin (AN: Do I really need to do that for Raijin everyone knows its him YA KNOW! LOL)
"Ok guys, meet us in 40 minutes at the Docking Bay.
"See ya ya know!

Rinoa entered Xu's office wearily, remembering her warning that Squall's office was only next-door. She creped over to the vid phone on her desk, glancing across the room, only to see Squall's office. She heard murmuring voices coming from the room. Rinoa had turned back to the vid phone and dialled the sequence of digits, in order to talk to Edea. Ever since Cid left Garden he decided that it would be a good idea to install a videophone system in the orphanage, in order to see how things are. After all the years that he dedicated for the wondrous establishment, he wanted to leave as it was becoming too stressful, yet he couldn't help worrying about it and his children. Even though he was a headmaster, he was also very paternalistic with hi students, more over with the orphanage gang.
Once Rinoa got through. The Balamb logo was replaced by the image of a beautiful young lady, none other than Edea, whose features were lit by the wondrous sunset beaming through the windows. Sounds of children playing could be heard in the background. When Edea returned to the orphanage she drew up plans of rebuilding the previously run down building.
"Hello Matron" greeted Rinoa "Sorry to bother you...."
"Don't be silly child, you are more than welcome. It's lovely to see a familiar face. We haven't talked in a while, is everything alright dear?" Queried Edea
"No! No! Everything's ok, its just you know the last time we talked, you said that we could see you….. well...."
"Oh that would be wonderful dear!" Interrupted Edea with glee.
Rinoa smiled with content, however there was a mixture of other emotions playing on her smile. Edea took notice of this.
"Thank you Matron! We'll be heading to you later on, with the Ragnarock.
"What's wrong dear? Worried Edea "You look troubled
Rinoa could only suppress the anguish within her. She let out a sigh not out of protest, but of emotional defeat.
"That'll be too long a story, it's best I tell you when I see you! I'm sorry Matron!"
Don't be dear I'll be awaiting your arrival. I'll tell Cid of the good news, I'm sure he'll be happy.
"See you later Matron and thanks again"
"Take care dear!" comforted Matron
"I will! Bye!"
Rinoa terminated the conversation and thought about all the things that now need to be done. There was half an hour to do everything in.
"Thank Hyne! That was the easy part, now for the hard part!" thought Rinoa out loud, as she looked at the door leading to Squall.
Rinoa stepped up to the door and listened carefully and heard Xu and Squall talking. She composed herself and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" gestured Squall
"Ah thank Hyne, I just about ran out of ideas to keep him busy," exclaimed Xu.
"Sorry Xu, I made it as quick as I could apologised Rinoa.
Squall just sat at his desk, looking at both Rinoa and Xu in confusion, wondering what they were talking about".
"What's going on? And why were you trying to keep me busy?" Questioned Squall, as he looked at the two girls.
Both girls looked at each other then at Squall, and burst out in fits of laughter.
"All will be revealed Squally," said Rinoa in a sugary childish voice.
All Squall could do was look even more bemused, as he was dragged by both Xu and Rinoa to the Docking bay, where the rest of the crew were.
"Why are we going to the Docking bay?" Questioned Squall "There's nothing here but the Ragnarock."
"I know!" exclaimed Rinoa.
"I don't have time for games Rinoa" interrupted an irritated Squall. "I have lots of work that needs to be done, you should know that Xu, you're the one who gave it to me."
When Squall saw the rest of the gang seated by the entrance of the magnificent dragon ship, it did nothing but confuse him more.
"You ARE going on a break, whether you like it or not" exclaimed Rinoa " Now that the rest of the gang are coming, it should prove a greater incentive for you to go, as you'd be letting them down as well. Your bags are packed, with a little help from Xu of course," pointed out Rinoa.
"Wh..... " Squall started to say
"....atever you do, don't you even say that word" threatened Rinoa. "We are going, and Xu will take care of your work. Garden will not blow up, so take a break with us please..." Rinoa pleaded.
Everyone just looked in amusement, as Squall had relented. It made him smile slightly, which brought relief to Rinoa, as she ran up to him and hugged him tightly, as she planted a tender kiss on his lips
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Who was on the vid-link sweetheart?" called Cid from the lounge
"Oh it was Rinoa. Her and the other children are coming over later this evening." Exclaimed Edea.
"Ah that would be great." Answered Cid "It has been a while since we have seen them.
The orphanage was a wonderful building filled with many memories. It was rebuilt after the Sorceress war, hence restoring it back to its former glory. The once filled garden of children has returned, and the noise of crying children and laughing children fill the void once more in both Edea's and Cid's hearts.
"WAAHHHHH! Matwen" cried a small boy no older than 4 years old.
"What's wrong now Sho?" questioned Edea
"Luwk's huwting me agin" cried Sho in a strong Galbaldian accent.
At the sound of his name, Luke Mortisse ran for cover, by fleeing towards the rocks that led to the Lighthouse. Edea witnessed the young tyrant scampering off through the corner of her eye.
"LUKE!" hollered Edea "get over here now." Demanded the now angered Matron. One thing the calm lady required order within the orphanage, especially if they run away from her.
"What did I tell you about hurting and bullying Sho?" questioned Matron. "What makes you want to hurt him?"
"He wooks funny when he cwys" stated Luke "I can't helwp it Matwen"
"You better young man" warned Edea "Otherwise you won't be going outside to play with the others."
I'm sowwy Sho!"
"That's better, now off with you, both of you." Smiled Edea
This scene made the motherly lady laugh, as she recollected memories of Squall, Zell and Seifer. At one point Zell was picked on by Squall and Seifer. These two were inseparable at one point, as they went around bullying Zell, however that all changed when Ellone came around. At that point Seifer became jealous as he thought that Squall didn't want to be his friend any more. This then made Edea think more about Seifer. She turned her head and looked at the fireplace, and admired the magnificent craftsmanship pinned against the wall that is Hyperion, the weapon that was once used to protect her by her temporal knight .... Seifer Almasy.
The once Sorceress, returned Matron missed Seifer as much as she missed the rest of the gang. To her they were all her children, whether they were troublesome or not. As one of the children of the orphanage, he was unique. Troublesome yet unique. His arrogance tended to get in the way of his full potential. Even though Edea was possessed she was still able to see and sense her surroundings, as well as knowing what she was doing. She thought about how loyal he was to her, even though he too was possessed.
Nobody knows what happened to the fallen knight, as he had disappeared after time compression. Neither Raijin nor Fujin knew of what happened to him, they had assumed him dead. His two only friends had held a funeral on his behalf with the aid of Edea and Squall.

The bay doors opened, releasing sunlight into the dimly lit space. A thin beam spread across the shiny red exterior of a curvaceously designed craft. The beam of light spread evenly across the body of the familiar dragon like ship, revealing it in all its glory. The ships thrusters were engaged to depart from the launch pad. The Ragnarock sped away from the beautiful floating Garden. Squall was at the pilot's helm, whereas Quistis was navigating, Irvine and Selphie were sitting in the corner of the ship, Zell was shadow boxing in the corner of the ship, and Rinoa was next to Squall, thinking of the things that need to be said to Edea, when she arrives, as there s a lot on her mind.
"I don't know if I've done the right thing by leaving Garden" Exclaimed Squall. "Something might happen while we're gone..."
"Stop worrying Squall!" comforted Rinoa. "Everyone will be fine. Xu and Nida will be more than able to run Garden without you. We all need this holiday, especially you."
"I know Rinoa, but I can't help but worry. I'm responsible for the thousands of SeeDs and Seed cadets that lives under Garden." Retorted Squall
"I'm going to my quarters!" addressed Squall to the rest of the gang. "Selphie, take over please!"
"Woohoo!" squealed Selphie "Hang on to your seats!"
"And please no flying tricks during this trip" pleaded Squall
"Ok!" hummed Selphie.
Squall walked towards the elevator, where Rinoa followed sit. They descended to one of the many rooms of the ship that once belonged to the now dead crew of the Ragnarock. The metal doors slid open and revealed Squall strolling into the room, and slumping down on his bed. Rinoa sat down beside him running her hand through his smooth dark brown locks.
"What's wrong honey?" Questioned Rinoa "There's something on your mind I can tell."
Squall recollected his memories from last night's events in the Training Centre. He relented, as the stress of the work was getting to him, as well as trying to understand the recent events. He needed to tell someone. Who better than his soul mate. He explained everything to her from the previous night's events.
"Squall you can tell me anything that is on your mind, you know that right?" Assured Rinoa. "I won't pressure you about your problems, however you must tell me yourself. As a couple we must stick by each other, and help each other through our problems. Hopefully this trip shall help you take your mind off things and we can spend some time with each other."
"I would love that Rinoa." Replied Squall in a deeper huskier tone, as opposed to his usual indifferent one. "We have lots of things that need sorting out."
Rinoa nodded in response, knowing full well that there are problems.
Squall leaned into Rinoa and hugged her tightly; she returned his affection with a kiss to his forehead as a mother would to her child. The bond between the two lovers is far beyond that of a standard couple. They are bound as Sorceress and Knight, yet they act as equals as opposed to one ranking the other.

Centra's horizon came into view from the cockpit of the Ragnarock. Selphie brought them in slowly, as the terrain of the mysterious Centra continent, is similar to the rocky landscape of Esthar, however Esthar doesn't look as if it has had an atomic bomb plunged through it. The Ragnarock descended on the grassy meadow next to the orphanage, which was free from monsters.
Cid noticed the giant red beast landing, as he called Edea so they could both greet the gang as they come out.
The bay door opened from the hull of the ship, as Zell was the first to leave the ship, rushing to see Edea. He hugged her tightly, as he missed his motherly Matron. To him he had two mothers, Matron and Ma Dincht. He released Edea to go and greet Cid as well.
The rest of the gang followed suit from Zell, and greeted their foster parents, however Squall did not hug Cid, but shook hands with him, as he felt some kind of resentment towards the elderly man, because of throwing the responsibilities of Garden on him.
