Chapter 3

Zell walked over to his usual table in the corner of the cafeteria, cafully trying to carry 2 trays without dropping them. Him and Rinoa were the only ones of the group that were awake so Zell decided to treat her to some breakfast.
"from what Selphie has been telling me this Erika girl really, really likes you" Rinoa told Zell, she took her breakfast from Zell's hands and took a drink of the orange juice. Zell sat down beside her and flashed her a grin.
"She's great isn't she? she's smart, pretty and she has every issue of combat kings to date, she's every guys dream!". He was about to take a huge bite out of one of his hot dogs when all of a sudden he was embraced by a very excited Selphie.
"Thank you Zell, you have made Erika so happy, she totally has the hots for you" she sat down between Zell and Rinoa and took a sip of his soda, "you are all she talks about, all i hear is zell this and zell that, she can't wait till tonight, she's dead excited".
Zell took his soda back from her "but if we haven't landed back in Balamb by 7.00 tonight then it isn't gonna happen". Suddenly the garden shuddered, Rinoa looked out of the windows to see that the garden was no longer moving. Squalls voice was then heard over the speakers.
no need to panic everyone, we are having some technical difficulties and unfortunatly won't be able to make it back to Balamb till tomorrow.
Zell placed his head in his hands, "Great! i have this date with a really nice girl and the bloody garden decides it doesn't want to work!"

Erika looked up from her books, she jumped off her bed and looked out of the window, the water was still and the garden wasn't moving. She thumped her hands against the window in fustration, "DAMMIT!".

Irvine ran into the cafeteria, he was carrying his rifle and was really puffed out, "Quick you guys, grab your wepons and follow me" he shouted then ran back again. The group followed Irvine down the corridor to the entrance, there were a few more seeDs standing with their own wepons. Squall jumped out of the lift and raced towards the growing crowd at the entrance, "What the hell is going on here?" he demanded. Seifer turned his attention to Squall, "we are under attack by some weird looking mosters, i haven't seen anything like them before, they are what has caused the garden to stop". There was suddenly a loud rumble and a mass of deep blue monsters came dashing towards them.
"CHARRRRRRRRGE!" Seifer yelled at the top of his voice.
