Please Don't Leave Me: Part 2
By: ZellyBaby

Zell was about 13 now and had finally got used to calling Mr. and Mrs. Dincht Pa and Ma. When he left the orphanage he had only been at the young tender age of 6. He still regretted not saying goodbye to his best friend and he missed her so badly.
"Sephie, I miss you, please come to me" he would wake up saying things like this during the night. He would always have dreams of Selphie leaving him, just like he had left her, and without saying goodbye. After waking up from these dreams he would always end up silently crying himself to sleep. One particular morning Zell was awakened early by Mrs. Dincht.
"Zell honey, get up, we have a surprise for you!" she said excitedly while she shook Zell.
"Come on Ma, leave me alone, I'm too sleepy and it's a Saturday" he muttered.
"Zell get up now, don't argue with your mother." She said becoming firm with him.
"Fine, have it your way" he said to her cursing under his breath as her threw his legs over the side of the bed.
They both walked down stairs with Mrs. Dincht in the front, while Zell slowly made his way down the steps almost tripping. He was so tired; he had had another one of his dreams and stayed up half of the night crying. Mrs. Dincht was already down the stairs and sitting at the table when he reached the bottom. Mr. Dincht was also sitting there looking all excited. It was kinda scary.
"Zell son, do you remember that military academy you wanted to go to?" he said.
"Yeah, Garden, what about it?"
"Well guess who is now a student there!" he said still very excited which still scared Zell.
"Who?"
"You! I enrolled you yesterday, you're to be there at 7:00 A.M. today!" he said surprising Zell.
"What?! I thought you said you weren't going to let me go!" he said embracing his now standing father...


"Selphie, you will be transported to Trabia Garden today." Said Matron as she watched her "child" pack all of her things. Selphie was 13, and finally was going to get to go the Trabia Garden. She was going through her drawers and getting all of her clothes. She was almost finished when she glanced over on her bed table where a picture sat, she quickly stuffed the rest in without folding them and walked over to the picture and held it up. It was of her and Zell when they were six. She always kept it by her bed. In the picture they were hugging and smiling and laughing. Zell was her best friend, and he had left her soon after that picture was taken. She would never forget that day, she would never forget not being able to find Zell, she would never forget him not being able to say goodbye because she had been out picking flowers with Irvine, she would never forget him. A tear rolled down her cheek as she carefully placed the picture in her suitcase. But it was in the past now, she wanted so badly to see him, he was her best friend even though she had not seen him in 7 years, she would not forget him, he would always be her best friend.

As Zell waited in the Headmaster's office, he read "Weapons Monthly", as he read he noticed that an article about his metal gloves and all their upgrades was featured in it. He thought to himself about how he would become a great SeeD and maybe even, find her. At this thought a single tear escaped his left eye and flowed over his tattoo, but he quickly wiped it away when the headmaster walked in.
"Hello Zell, I'm Headmaster Cid Kramer. It's a pleasure to have you join garden, I'm sure that you will enjoy your stay here. Your *parents* told me that you already had a weapon, metal knuckles right?"
"Yes sir" he muttered.
"Alrighty then, lets get you too your classes." He said with a goofy grin on his face.

As Zell walked through the halls of Garden, he heard two familiar voices. One was yelling at the other. He glanced around a corner and seen three familiar figures. There was Quistis Trepe, Squall Leonhart, and Seifer Almasy.
"Squall Seifer, stop it!" she shrieked. Apparently they had gotten into a fight, they both had gunblades, Seifer had his pointed at Squall as he yelled threats.
"I'll get you Leonhart, Quisty wont always be here to stop me!"
"Whatever"
"The both of you stop it now!"

Oh great, thought Zell, the one person I hate most, Seifer, had to be at Garden. He had to get to class, so he attempted to sneak by the three.
"Hey look!" yelled Seifer taking his attention from Squall for a moment.
"Hi Zell, haven't seen you in a while" said Quistis noticing him also.
"..." *said* squall, even though that's no really saying anything.
"Its chicken-wuss, you were the last person I though I would ever see at Garden" said Seifer
Zell tried to ignore Seifer as he walked by but he wouldn't leave him alone, Seifer didn't know that Zell had metal knuckles and had been training.
"Hey chicken-wuss, were'd u get that hair cut, I fight with a lawnmower? You look like a chocobo!"
"Leave me alone Seifer, I have to get to class." He muttered
"Make me" he taunted, with a whole lot of unknown speed and strength, Zell punched Seifer. He stumbled backwards and fell, hands going his nose, which was broken.
"I get you for that chicken wuss! You'll regret that!" still holding his now bleeding nose. Completely ignoring Seifer Zell walked on to class.

"I have to get to class!" said Selphie, she had just got to Balamb Garden about 5 min. ago, she had transferred from Trabia, she had to go on a field test for SeeD today, and really had to get to class. She turned the corner and ran right smack into a 5'8'' brown haired leather clad boy.
"Are you okay?" he helped her up
"Did class just let out?"
"Yes"
"oh no, I'm too late!" she said slumping, but quickly shrugging it off.
"Hey, I'm really new here do you think you could show me around?"
"Sure" he said

"Squall, meet Zell Dincht, quite a lively fellow" said instructor Trepe as a blonde haired boy did flips toward them.
"lively? More like just loud." By now Zell and Squall were 17. they didn't remember being in the orphanage or there brief meeting when Zell first cam to Garden, they were both junctioned with GFs which they later came to the conclusion caused memory loss.
"Cant I switch members?"
"No, these things cant be changed, you'll both be on squad A. Your leader will be," she flipped through some paper "Seifer Almasy." Zell had completed his flips and was now standing in front of squall with his gloved hand held out for a handshake which he did not receive. Zell just shrugged it off.
"I heard about Seifer giving you that scar in that fight"
"We were training"
"I bet he doesn't think so" after saying this Squall and Zell both noticed Seifer and his "posse" walking toward them.
