Thanks to Storm Chick for Beta'ing and I'm sorry I called Rinoa Rhino in the last chapter my brother otherwise known as rubbishgirl thinks it is funny to auto correct Rinoa to Rhino.
Seifer groaned as the memories flooded back to him. His boss saying she had a big story for him, seeing the burning building, people screaming covered in blood, the building collapsing crushing more people, a dead baby being pulled out of the wreckage, the floor collapsing beneath him and falling. A scream brought him back to reality.
Groggily Seifer opened his eyes. He saw a girl crouching over him. Blood and tears running her face, her raven hair matted with blood and dirt.
"Are you okay?" she whispered,
"I'm fine, where am I?" he looked around what use to be a room, a dead body of a young women underneath a pile of rubble, he peered past the broken doorway and saw the burnt body of boy. Tears came to his eyes.
"You're in a block of flats in Carbuncle Street, Deiling city, um do you know what happened?"
"A bomb hit the building it killed everybody above the third floor." He stated.
She frowned slightly "We're on the fourth"
"Then…how…you…Alive? The fire ball from the blast should have killed everyone."
"Oh, I fell into my wardrobe,"
"That still wouldn't have saved you"
"It's steel"
"Yeah that would explain it, come on we need to get out of here. It should be more stable the further down we go," Seifer bended down and picked up a twisted CD player and switched it on, "Still works, come on" Seifer crawled out of the room into a hallway. "Come on"
The girl was sitting on the floor new tears pouring down her cheeks, "What is it hurry up this building could collapse any minute!" screamed Seifer, she merely point at the stereo then the body of the dead girl. He paused and listened to the words coming out of the stereo.
You got a fast car,
I want a ticket to anywhere,
Maybe we can make a deal,
Maybe together we can get somewhere,
Anyplace is better,
Starting from Zero got nothing to lose,
Maybe we'll make something,
But me myself got nothing to lose,
"It was our song… we promised we would get a fast car, leave here."
"Sorry, I didn't know Miss er miss?" Seifer stepped over a rock and gingerly put his arm around her.
"Heartily, Rinoa"
"Almasy, Seifer"
"Come on we better go," Rinoa pulled away from his embrace
and crawled out of the room Seifer following, Bye Beth, see ya later"

"Squall" Quistis lifted her head from where she landed, she felt blood on her forehead but thought nothing of it "What happened? Oh Hyne" She spotted him in the darkness for some reason all the lights had stopped working, sprawled out a few feet away. She ran over to him.
"Squall, Squall, wake up!" She shook him slightly as his eyes began to open. "Squall, are you okay?"
"Yeah just get off me, what happened" he spoke with difficulty as blood was running down his chin, his gums probably bleeding.
"No idea I'm guessing our hurricane came," Quistis said grimacing as she felt the cut on her forehead
"Hurt?"
"Bit"
"Well at least it's a good reason for you to not go to work today"
"Umm, I not going to work again, ever, I got fired, I'm sorry, I guess I better move out I mean, I can't pay the bills, I've got no chance of getting a new job now that I've been fired twice this year" Silence, she looked at Squall trying to make out what he was thinking but all she could see in this light was his eyes and she could get nothing from them.
"You could stay and I got a job that pays all our bills" The warm feeling of relief washed over Quistis.
And I've got a job that pays all our bills
"What was that?" mouthed Quistis,
"I don't know, it's getting closer"
You stay out late at the bar
See more of your kids then you do of your kids
Squall grabbed Quistis and pushed her behind some fallen
rubble, "Stay here, and if anyone comes in when I say go grab them" Quistis
nodded dumbly. What's going on, why is Squall acting like this, what is that
song?
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
Squall ducked down behind the doorway waiting for who ever this shit was to come in.
I ain't go no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
The door slowly opened.
