A.N.: Thank you for sticking to the story so far.
Please remember to Review. I love getting Reviews. ; )
Disclaimer: Again? I own nothing. Are you happy now?
"Quistis?" The brunette asked with concern on her
voice "Are you alright?"
"What happened, Quistis?" asked a concerned and scared
Squall.
Quistis tried to focus her eyes. "Do you remember when
we used to see Laguna's past, Squall? When Ellone sent us there?"
"Was that it?" Squall asked, a confused frown forming
on his features. Quistis nodded.
She lifted herself from her lying position and sitted
herself on the bed.
"But why would Ellone want you to see Laguna's past?"
Rinoa questioned reading Squall's confusion in his face.
"Not Laguna's," Quistis answered "Seifer's."
Rinoa and Squall looked at each other, speechless. As
if on cue the rest of the gang rushes inside the infirmary.
"Quistis! Are you alright? I was so concerned." Sephie
said rushing over to Quistis and embracing her.
"I'm fine now." Quistis said smiling at all her
friends. 'How stupid of me to feel depressed and unloved with friends like
these caring for me.'
She noticed Squall was now in deep thought and Rinoa
was still studying him trying to read his mind.
"So, what really happened?" asked Irvine giving her a
wink.
"Did you really fainted?" asked Zell with his
childish, curious eyes.
As Quistis was about to explain them Squall spoke up.
"She'll explain to you later. Pack up your gear, we're going to Esthar."
"We'd like a room for three, please."
The receptionist looked up from the counter to face
the silver haired girl in front of her. She saw a large, dark, muscled man at
her left, which she didn't recognised, and at the girl's right was the man she
had been already told was alive, the tall, golden haired knight, Seifer Almasy.
"I'm sorry, we don't allow pets in our hotel." The
woman harshly said referring to Seifer.
A woman steps out of the elevator holding a poodle.
"I can see that." Seifer said sarcastically, holding
back the urge to punch the receptionist square in the face. "Let's go." He
motioned for his posse to follow him. "We don't need this."
They left Deling and started heading towards Winhill.
On the Ragnarok the gang was still perplexed by
Quistis's revelations. They wondered why would Ellone want for Quistis to see
Seifer's past.
"So, you and Seifer always shared the same dream of
becoming Seeds? It's hard to imagine you both as kids, sharing the same dreams."
Zell said.
"I now can understand why he became the sorceress's knight, why he fought against us. It was his promise and dream to protect Matron." Rinoa said almost in a whisper, looking at the floor with sad eyes.
"His Romantic Dream." Squall whispered only being
heard because of the silence between them.
Another uncomfortable moment of silence.
"Still none of this justifies a single thing he did."
Squall said cutting the silence and waking everyone from their thoughts "He
kept serving the sorceress 'till the end of it."
"Don't talk about him like that Squall!" Rinoa said angry
at Squall's quick judgement "You don't even know if he survived. He should have
the right to tell his side of the story."
"Maybe that's what Ellone's doing." Selphie broke in
from the pilot seat "Telling his side of the story."
Everyone nodded. Quistis wondered if Seifer could still
be alive. 'Why do I even care?'
"We're arriving at Esthar, guys!" Selphie announced.
A.N.: I know it's short. Forgive me and pleeeease
