Chapter 1

"Everyone, meet Rinoa. Rinoa, these are your new friends that I was telling you about." Edea said gently to the little girl.

"Hi." Rinoa said shyly.

The others started introducing themselves.

"I'm Selphie. Do you like to play with dolls?" asked a bubbly little brunette.

Rinoa nodded. "Name's Kinneas. Irvine Kinneas. You can call me Irv or Irvy. I love ta ride'don chocobos during ma spare time an-" started a cowboy wannabe in a fake accent.

"Yah yah yah…I don't think she wanna listen to your boring life." interrupted a blonde boy. "My name is Seifer and I'm a sorceress' knight. Still looking for a sorceress though." He bends down and kisses Rinoa's hand (A/n: Were you expecting Irvine to do that?), "Will you be my sorceress?"

Rinoa blushed in reply.

"Now, let me introduce to you my slave. Hmm…where is he? Leonhart?" Seifer called out.

An older girl with short brown hair stepped out and lightly whacked Seifer's head. "For the last time, stop bullying him!" She turned her attention to Rinoa and smiled, "Hi there, I'm Ellone and this is Squall." She said as she pointed to the boy beside her.

Rinoa gazed into Squall eyes. Something about the boy attracted her. (Maybe it's his eyes or his half smiling face) she thought.

Squall returned her gaze as he clung on Ellone's skirt.

Rinoa broke out of her daze as a new voice spoke up.

"I'm Quistis and that boy over there is Zell Dincht." introduced another older girl.

"Yulp, mime Fell dingt." A boy sitted in the corner said as he stuffed his face with cookies.

Rinoa giggles to herself, "Nice meeting all of you!"

"C'mon, let me show you my doll collection." Selphie grabbed Rinoa's hand and pulled her to the toy room.

Rinoa quickly stole a glance at Squall before she let Selphie guide her out.

"Sis, who was that girl?" Squall asked curiously as he played with his stuffed lion.

"Were you listening when matron was speaking? That girl's name is Rinoa. She's new here and she seems like a nice person. Be nice to her okay?" said Ellone.

"Okay." Squall mumbled. (Wow…she looks like an angel) he thought.

"Yippiee!! Woohoo!!" Irvine exclaimed as he rode on his rocking chocobo.

"I thought he meant that he liked to ride on REAL chocobos." Rinoa whispered to Selphie.

"He's a real show off…but not half as bad as Seifer!"

The two girls giggled among themselves but were cut off by a yell.

"Monsters! I see monsters!"

Seifer could be seen as he ran past the toys room chasing after Zell and Quistis with a toy gunblade, yelling 'monsters'.

The trio (referring to Selphie, Rinoa and Irvine) stopped what they were doing for a second and popped their heads out of the toy room.

"Seifer what do you think you are doing?" asked Edea fiercely.

"Aww…matron…Zellie and Quisty here were just playing 'Kill The Monsters' with me."

answered a grinning Seifer.

"You stoopid lying little Torama!" Zell cried.

"Well, Toramas aren't exactly little. I've read somewhere that it can actually grow up t-" Quistis started.

"I don't wanna hear it!" Zell stomped off.

The blonde averted her attention to Edea, "Anyway, Seifer WAS bullying me and Zell and if you'll excuse me, I will go look for the others who would PLAY with me and not hit me with a toy!" With that, she spun on her heels and walked towards the toys room.

The three inquisitive kids quickly got back to their previous positions and pretended they were playing all along.

"No Choco Billy's famous cookies for you tonight Seifer!" Edea declared before walking out, leaving Seifer in the room.

"Aww man…you guys are no fun." He mumbled to himself.

A/N: Sorry, I know this chapter is kinda boring but I've really got no idea for the start. With the number of school projects piling up, the updating of this fic was slower than I planned. Just the stressful life of a thirteen year old! Anyway, pls review everyone and pls contribute any ideas you may have. Thanks!
