Chapter Twenty: The Aftermath
Ceres took a cigarette out of her pack and lit it. She looked cross-eyed at Selphie, who laughed.
It had been a year since the incident with Rinoa. Everything had changed completely.
Selphie and Seifer had just gotten engaged a couple of days ago. Everyone was shocked when they found out.
"Well, you could say, we kinda got a little too into our acting." Seifer had responded, laughing.
Zell and Ceres had been married for about 3 months. It was impossible to seperate those two for anything longer than five minutes, if that long.
Ceres and Seifer had started to see a psychatrist about everything that had went on for the past couple of years. Everyone was so proud of Ceres, she hadn't cut herself ever since the incident. It was a major breakthrough for her.
The thing that shocked everyone the most, though, was when Squall and Quistis started dating. Ceres had rolled her eyes and said, "Well, duh." when they told her. Things were starting to get serious between them and Ceres knew they would probably end up engaged before too long.
"So, how's the old married life going, Cer?" Seifer asked Ceres, winking at her.
She laughed, "It's been going great, wouldn't you say so, Zell?" She turned to her husband, who nodded enthuisatically. She smiled and snuggled up against the older SeeD.
"It's really great, just all of us being here, catching up on lost time." Selphie exclaimed. "I missed you guys sooooo much!"
Everyone agreed. Not too long after the whole ordeal Zell and Ceres had been moved to Trabia Garden, and Selphie and Irvine to Galbadia.
"Hey, ya wanna go get something to eat?" Zell asked.
"Is that all you ever think about?" Squall remarked, laughing. He had gotten to be alot more friendlier since he started dating Quistis, whom he had his arms wrapped around.
"Come to think of it, I am kinda hungry." Quistis replied, yawning.
"Me too!" Selphie exclaimed.
"Well, then, what are we waiting for?!" Zell cried, and they got up and left, heading towards the cafeteria.
Seifer stood up and looked at Ceres, who raised her eyebrow, causing them both to laugh. He helped her up, and they walked out, hand in hand.
~OK! I know that's a REALLY sappy ending! Tee-hee. I had another idea for Chapter 20, if ya wanna read it, go to Chapter 21: Growing Apart. This is the depressing ending. (Thanks Cra5h, for giving me the idea. I love ya, hun. ^.~)
