Fool in Love
By: Goddess001
At eight thirty, Quistis woke up feeling refreshed. Last night she had her wonderful bath, and then packed for two weeks in Deling City. All she had to do now was get dressed and head to Balamb to wait for the train. 'Now what should I wear?' she asked herself, standing in front of her closet. She decided on something comfortable. Jeans and a red shirt would have to do for now. So, she put on her jean shorts and red top that showed a little of her midriff but who could complain.
'Now onto the hair,' she thought. As she walked into the bathroom her hair was all around her and she had to laugh. Mornings were not her favorite part of the day. She styled her hair in a high ponytail deciding that that was what would look best with her current outfit.
"Quistis!" a voice shouted through the door.
"Zell? Irvine? What are you guys doing here?" she asked opening the door.
"We just came to say good-bye," Zell said hugging his friend. It was a cute sight to see because Quistis was a bit taller than her friend. She was happy though that they came to see her off on her vacation.
"We hope you have a good time," Irvine said taking his turn at giving her a hug. Irvine, on the other hand, was a different story. Quistis had to stand on her tiptoes to almost reach his height. 'Everyone had to be so damn tall…well almost everyone…'
"Thank you. I think that this is going to be fun," Quistis replied. "Tell Rinoa and Squall that I said good-bye and Selphie…well I told her bye yesterday but tell her that I do wish I could go to her dance."
"Quistis! Are you ready yet?" Seifer's voice asked from behind Irvine and Zell.
"What?"
"Well hurry up! I'm not going to wait all god-damned day ya know!" he shouted. All three of them looked at Seifer like he was crazy. Seifer just looked back and gave Quistis that infamous grin that he was known by.
"What are you talking about?"
"Headmaster's orders. Got to see you to your train," Seifer answered. "Doesn't trust you."
"Yes well, I didn't think that he would," Quistis rolled her eyes, and turned back to Zell and Irvine. "I better be going but don't forget to tell the others that I'll see them in two weeks. Maybe I could give Rinoa a call from my hotel or something but –"
"Listen, we don't have all day. She's got to be going so," Seifer said walking in between them and pushing Quistis inside her own room. "Get lost!" he yelled and the door shut in their faces.
"Seifer! That was very rude of you! I was just saying good-bye!!" she yelled. Irvine and Zell could hear the two bickering and laughed to each other. As they walked away, they could still here the two yelling and it was even funnier the second time.
"Come on Quistis, we need to get moving," Seifer said looking around for a bag of some sort.
Quistis was sitting on the bed, legs crossed, and eyes closed. "It's only nine Seifer calm down. We have about an hour to waste. Why do you want to get there so early?"
"Because we wouldn't want to be late now would we?" he said grinning, stopping the suitcase in the closet. "It's your first day on vacation and we don't want you to miss the train."
Quistis watched as he grabbed her suitcase, and her arm, and was just as surprised to find herself out of her dorm in less then a second. "Seifer wait! Seifer let me go!" she screamed. People started staring and people started gasping. "Wait a minute god-damnit! I have to get some other stuff!"
He let go and watched as she brushed out her clothes and began walking back to her room. "Can't you at least walk a little bit faster?" he asked.
"No," she answered in her instructor tone. She resumed her perfect poise and Seifer sulked next to her.

Seifer and Quistis had gotten into Balamb thirty minutes later and were waiting to board the train. An attendant was helping to put her luggage at the back storage area of the train and Seifer was tapping his foot waiting for them to finish. Quistis nodded and put out her hand. "Thank you," Seifer could hear her mumble and watched as she walked back to meet him.
"Okay everything's in order," she said. He was towering over her but she didn't feel uneasy. She was used to it. "I just wanted to say thank you for seeing my on the train but you can return to Garden now. I won't try anything."
Seifer laughed and shook his head, "No I trust you. I just well, I guess I'll just make sure the train gets off."
"Oh that's not necessary," she began but a different attendant came next to her and interrupted her.
"Mr. Almasy," he said bowing his head. "We have already loaded your luggage on the train. All you need to do is show your ticket to the person at the front of the train."
"What?!?" Quistis turned on Seifer.
"Well –"
"Don't!" she said, putting her hand up to silence him. "I cannot believe this! Cid doesn't even trust me enough to have fun on my own!!" she yelled, storming off and onto the train.
Seifer turned on the attendant that happened to let his secret out. "Thanks a lot asshole," he replied stomping onto the train after Quistis. The horn blew just about ten minutes after Seifer got on. They were both sitting at opposite sides of the train and it was probably better that way.
