Author's note:
Grammar? I do think that is a big problem as well. Thanks for stating out. (I accept both positive and negative comments, also flames as well. These all helps me to improve.) I will try my best to bring it up to standard…….. …
And….zelphie?!…..okay probably wait for 2 more chapters…. I will try make it Zenith n Secci, ok?! But I won't change the fact that there was a librarian in the past……
Oh, by the way, I found my last chapter really sucks. Really, HOW COULD I shift the characters from Balamb Garden in FISHERMAN"S HORISON, to BALAMB TOWN?! That really doesn't make any sense at all. Anyway, just accept it, plz. Sorry man. Or shall I say Irineo wanna to go somewhere quiet and can bring back their suppressed memories. Thus they all TRAVEL the WHOLE WAY by underwater train to BALAMB. Juz for a cup of coffee. ….

Italian words mean flashback.
Seven Days
Chapter 4 – Loving you.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
A gentle breeze was blew pass the clam coastal. In a calmly afternoon, seven of them were all sitting quietly in a corner of the Books café, around the brass effect inlaid coffee table decorated by a combination of dark woods.
The atmosphere was thickened by all the rolling emotions. No one wanted to say anything. The exact way to say was that their short time gathering did not bring them close enough to smooth this situation.
"We are sorry." Was the only sentence they would commend to Irvine's death.
And. "It's all right." Was Irineo's dully answer.
"Irineo, it was a pity for the death of your father. I…..kind of understand. But what exactly brings you here?" Asked as Sergan glared at the cowboy. "You proved yourself as a talented fighter. You saved me out of the massive attack from Eden. But why?"
Irineo shrugged, "I just feel like helping those in trouble. My first act is pull to trigger when there is danger come across."
"Err, that's not my point. I am asking …."
The cowboy pulled a smile, he pointed his index finger to Sergan and shook it. "Nah..I got your point. You are saying what the hell am I suddenly traveled my way to the Garden, and jumped out of nowhere to bring my hero act?!" Staring at Sergan, he continued. "I am interested in my father's past. And he told me to come and see her girl. And probably take care of her. That's why I dropped my butts here. Besides, don't you not there is a strange link between it? Com' on. You are Sergan Lengency, and our great hero was called Squall Leonhart. Doesn't this sound similar? I want to find out more about us."
Sergan shrugged. "That is purely a coincidence."
Chirstine gave a hint, "Wait. I got it. That must be it! We are all somehow linked to the heroes. We all looked like them and all our initial are same as them."
"Even so, what has this to do with us?!" Sergan sighed.
"Hee-he, we were friends a thousands years ago. There we meet again. That sounds incredible!!!" Secci crapped.
"This sounds out of my topic. And boring." Marcus ordered another cappuccino to kill his time. Secci hit his chest not-so-softly, "I am sure that's not what you mean, darling." Marcus groaned in pain, "yuch!…But I only interested in camera and women." Secci leaned herself on Marcus chest, "Eh?! Anything wrong?!" Marcus shook his head nervously.
"For me, I would only like to meet you people and find out more about my father and Selphie Tilmitt." Irineo finally commended.
"I think….."Just as Sergan fired off another inquiry, sounds of children screaming from the street "Helicopter, helicopter!!!"
Roseita slowly put down his cup, "Helicopter?"
Then, Sergan's mobile phone gave it a ring. "Hello?! ……Yap, I see.
No problem. I will be there in five minutes." His face became more serious, "Sorry, I have to go. There is another emergency case waiting for me. You can all work on the survey, the file is not yet closed, I will come back once I've done with other stuffs."
Oh, no, he's leaving. Roseita thought to herself, "Hey, give me a call, will ya?!"
Being a lonely assassin for too long, Sergan still didn't want too many complicated relationships. He frowned when Roseita asked. Nevertheless, he managed a nod.

Staring at the laptop screen, which was full of command signals, Zenith put his hand on the forehead. A rush of blood ran through his body in a flooding way. Dizzy came through his mind. There was a sound. He could hear a very high peak noise surrounding him. Within a short moment, he fell on the desk table.
Flashback:
Where am I?! Zenith looked around, he found himself sitting on a chair, in the library of Balamb Garden. There were a lot of people in uniforms. How come? There shouldn't be anyone in the Garden, Garden had been destroyed five hundred years ago. Where did these people come from?
There was a sudden force on his back, with a look, he found a girl with pigtail leaning on him."Zell, how's today?". She hugged him tightly followed by a gently kiss. Zell?! No, I'm Zenith, not Zell! Who the hell is zell? What is going on?
Then he found himself said, "Great! I just finished my mission in Dollet and come to see if you are free tonight." What's going on? A mission? Me? Hey, I am not Zell, who are you?
"Sure. I will be finished right then. Just wait for another minute or so, will ya?" The girl in pigtail seemed did not hear what Zenith said.
So, she can't hear me? Zenith found himself stood up. He wrapped around the girl's tiny waist. "Sure." After he let go, the girl walked away carrying with a large pile of books in her hands. Oh, so she is a librarian.
Guess I am in this guy's body. Zell? One of the heroes….. The librarian asked, "Where are we going tonight?" They were walking hand in hand in the lounge. "Danii, we are going to that Italian restaurant as I promised to go with you last week. But before that, I want you to come to my dorm, I have a gift for you, okay, honey?!" Danii squeeze her body closes to Zell's, "A gift? That's a surprise." Zell smiled.
So, her name is Danii. (Sigh) Hope they are not doing something weird in their dorm. I hate locking in other people' body.
"Close your eyes first." Zell asked before they entered the metallic door. "Okay, surprise, right?!" Danii rolled her eyes. Then she obeyed. Zell led her into his private room. Hell, this guy is soo tidy. Danii was led to sit on the crouch. "Just wait for a minute with your eyes shut, honey?" Danni smiled and nodded.
Zell quickly ran out of the room and put a sign out on his door and ran back. No wonder he is our hero, he got to be. He is so speedy!! Woo,, "You can open your eyes now." Zell was kneeling besides Danii and holding her hands.
Danni saw Zell, and behind him was a giant Lego castle. "Oh, my god. You bought it?!" That was what Danni pealing to buy last month during their shopping in Deling.
Zell smiled. "Like it?!" Danii was nearly cried. "You built it?" Zell sighed. "Of course, who will build that thing…. It's such a hard work." Danii, "And that cost you three months salary, is that really worth." Zell nodded confidentially. "Hey, stop talking, come over here."
Zell opened the castle gate, there were a few puppet inside. Cute…. Then Zell started doing his puppet show. "Once upon a time there were a princess and his knight. They were having a walk in the evil forest. Suddenly, a dragon came out of nowhere…." There was a loud moan, which made Danii jumped. Bahamut appeared behind them. Zell continued, "The knight put out it sword, and decided to challenge its power and protect the princess. He threw his sword to the dragon." Zell roughly threw the little sword to his GF, and Bahamut vanished in the air.
Danii giggled. "That's pathetic." Zell frowned, "It's a fairy tale, it supposed to be like this. Just let me finished."
Hahahaha, that sucks, that tiny sword killed the giant Dragon. Zell continued, "The princess praised for his brave. The kight thought, may be it's time to show his love to her, therefore he led her to his castle. He pulled out a palm size black box, asked the princess for a marriage."" As Zell opened the silk box, there was a diamond silvery ring in it. Zell looked at Danii, and she too faced to him. "I……mean…….would you ….amm…ya know….would you …ma-rr-y me?"
At first, Danii was totally shocked but then blushed. Follow by a few nods.
"Is that mean yes?" Zell asked hesitantly. Danii picked up the princess puppet and let her kissed the knight, "Yes, I shall marry you, my dear."
Zell hugged Danni tightly, and out on the ring for her. Then he did a victory dance. "Amm, I love you. Shall we go for dinner now?"
That's sweet.
As the couple walked out of the room, they noticed a lot of the others were standing outside. The first thing they said was congratulations.
"Zenith? Zenith" A female voice sounded from somewhere close. Zenith opened his eyes and saw Secci was shaking his limb body.
"Secci?!" Zenith pushed out his first word. He reclosed his sleepiest eyelids.
"Oh, thank god! You finally awake. When I walked in here, I saw you fainted."
"Fainted?! What's the time now?"
"Eleven thirty."
"What? I've been in that dream for twenty minutes?"
"Dream?"
Zenith therefore told her the whole thing. "I believe there is something brings us back to the past."
Secci's eyes were wide open. "Your dream…… I was in it as well. Just before I came here, I was staying in the inn and
sleeping. I remembered I too was dreaming."
Zenith raised his eyebrows. "That's interesting, tell me all about it."
"I experienced the exact situation as you. I think I was locked in that brown hair girl's body. I spent the whole afternoon with a cowboy. He looks really like Irineo, thus I think he's Irvine. The girl was a totally shock for me. Beneath her skinny tiny figure, she had a great appetite. I can't believe that she ate three cheesecakes and four donuts. All in one go. Well, they then decided to ask the others to go out for the night. Therefore they came up to Zell's dorm with some of the others I recognized in that photo. We saw a sign on the door say: 'Do not disturb, I'm proposing.' We laughed our heads out. Soon, the couple walked out, we all congratulate them and gave them a warm hug."
Zenith nodded, that was strange. Secci's face was pale like sheets, she hate this coincident. Zenith pressed his hand to Secci's shoulder, "It's probably only a dream, let's forget about it and have something to eat. Gosh, I am starving."
Secci nodded. She did not want to talk about the dream again. It was too realistic. She kept recalling the way Selphie felt when she was hugging Zell in the dream. The sensation which was full of joy, fear, sad and miserable. A feeling which kept annoying Secci.
