Chapter 10: Intermezzo Liberté
"You guys really missed me that much?"
"Squall!" both Xu and Nada screamed at the same time. Xu came forward and lunged into him and knocked him over, just to be sure she wasn't imagining him.
"Alright, alright, that's enough!" Squall said trying to get a suddenly crying Xu off of him. After a few minutes she finally let go and they stood up.
"Squall, err, Commander, we have plan to take out that other Garden, but-"
"Laguna told me" he interrupted. "He was waiting for me at the front gates. And…I so approve said plan. Laguna and I will go set it."
"But, sir!"
"Don't worry; Laguna should be enough to cover me."

"Alright, the bomb's set, let's go Laguna." Squall said, and they then started running back to Garden, so as not to be blown up as well.
As soon as they were at the entrance to Garden, the Galbadians' garden blew up. Body parts and metal were flying everywhere. Squall and Laguna hadn't stuck around for very long, and headed straight to the bridge.
Quistis, Xu, and Nada were the only other people on the bridge, and they all had a horrified look on their faces as they looked at the remains of the other garden; body parts, machinery, and blood that was strewn out all over the place.

One Week Later…
Squall was sitting at his desk filling out reports when there was a knock at the door.
"Enter" he said, still filling out reports.
"So, Squall, it appears that you can't even make it to the training ground on time for class."
"Spare me your psychobabble, Seifer. I still have plenty of reports to finish from the incident last week." he said, regretting the fact that he had put off the reports for a week.
"So, what about your class?"
"Ask Quistis do it, she knows where we left off from, and besides, who knows what you'd teach them if I left to you?"
He smirked when Squall said that. "As you wish Commander." he said as he did a mock bow and turned to leave the room.
"Wait" Squall said. "Tell Quistis to start the surprise attack section in an hour."
"Alright" Seifer said and finally left the room.
Squall then signed the last document, and went to go prepare for the 'surprise attack'.
Ten Years Later…
"Mommy, c'mon, we'll be late to pick up daddy from the station!" the little girl exclaimed, jumping up and down on the command deck of Garden.
"Yes, Rinoa, hold on" Quistis told her dark haired daughter. "Xu, take over for me."
"Yes ma'am!" Xu said.

As the two of them walked towards the train station, the train pulled in just as they got there. Rinoa ran forward only to be picked up by a tall man in black clothes with long brown hair. The man put his daughter on his shoulder, and started walking towards Quistis. When they got close, he put his daughter down, and Quistis put her arms around him.
"How was the mission, Squall?" she asked.
"Difficult, but nothing I couldn't handle. Well, let's get going you two, I could use some sleep."
"Yeah, let's" and with that, they walked towards Garden, hand in hand, Quistis on the right, their daughter on the left.
