[.. Okay, well, here's chapter 2...]

She opened her eyes slowly, a light shone right into her eyes. (Am I dead? What happened?) She tried hard to remember, but her memory was fuzzy.

"She'll be alright. So, what DID happen to her?" A female voice said.

Nina tilted her head sideways, she was aching all over for some odd reason. She saw a lady talking to a man. She couldn't make out who they were.

"Well Dr. Kadowaki, it's a very strange story. You see, she tripped over a rock in the training centre and a T-Rexaur came up to her, and well, she fainted." A male voice replied.

(I fainted? What? That is so not like me!) Nina thought. Her vision got a bit clearer. The lady was dressed in a doctors outfit, and the male, he had spiky hair and something on his face. (It can't be!)

"Well, that's normal... I guess. Anyway, Zell, I need to ask you to help her. Her ankle is badly twisted and it should take about 3 days before she is well enough to walk on it. I'd give her a wheel chair, but we're out of stock right now... so I need you to help her walk around. And don't let her try walking herself, or she'll be hurt even more." Dr. Kadowaki said.

"Ummm..." Zell replied.

He wasn't sure if he wanted to help. (She'll become a burden! That would mean she would have to follow me everywhere, and then I can't go into the training centre! Especially if she faints at the sight of a T-Rexaur.) He thought.

"I'll treat you to some hot dogs afterwards." Dr. Kadowaki added.

"It's a deal!" Was Zell's immediate response.

"Hey Quistis!" Rinoa's voice called from the doorway.

"Come in." Quistis sighed as she put another failed test in a pile.

"What's wrong?" Rinoa asked her friend.

"Students these days... only 3 have passed out of the million I've marked!" Quistis put her head down.

(Am I that bad of a teacher? Am I boring? Wait, of course I'm boring, I'm Instructor Trepe.) Quistis sighed again.

"Anyway, that asshole Seifer's looking for you..." Rinoa laughed. "can I ask.. WHY is he looking for YOU?"

"Oh hyne. It's a long story. If you see him, just tell him I'm sleeping or something. I don't want to see that guy anymore. I don't think I should have even helped him out."

"WHAT? You were the one that helped get Seifer back into the Garden?! What were you smoking Quistis?" Rinoa was appalled.

"I told you, it's a long story. Anyway, I'm sure you didn't just come here and tell me that Seifer was looking for me."

"Oh right. Squall and I were wondering... ummm, would it be possible if..." Rinoa began.

"Come on, just tell me." Quistis was getting impatient. She liked Rinoa, in fact, they were best friends, but the idea that her best friend and the guy of her dreams were going out made her angry.

"Okay, well, we were wondering if you'd help us organize our 1^st year anniversary. I know I'm asking you in such short notice, since it's only a week away. But we really need your help!" Rinoa begged.

(Oh great. I already have to put up with you two going out, now I have to help you set up your ANNIVERSARY?) Quistis thought. (Maybe I should make something horrible happen! But Rinoa's my best friend...)

"Sure!" Quistis flashed a fake smile.

"Great! Selphie's helping too! You can talk to her about the plans... right now, I have date with Squall. Talk to you later!" Rinoa waved to her best friend and walked out happily.

(What's wrong with you Quistis?! You're supposed to be happy for your friend!) Quistis thought as a tear rolled down her cheek.

(Zell... why does he look so much like...) Nina's thoughts were cut off.

"I see you woke up. You twisted your ankle pretty badly." Zell said, examining her ankle.

"I don't even know how that could of happened. But I'm alright." Nina replied as she tried to walk. "Ow." She fell on the ground.

"Oops. I forgot to tell you, you shouldn't walk on that leg, you're going to hurt yourself even more." Zell helped her up.

"Thanks for telling me just now." She snapped.

"Hey you hungry? I am. Let's go to the Cafeteria. I'll carry you over there." Zell crouched down so she could climb on his back.

Nina sat there for a while, not knowing what to do. Then carefully wrapped her arms around her neck and he carried her out. (He's Zell... but why does he look so much like him? He even smells like him... maybe... he is...) Her thoughts got cut off again. A young lady stood outside the cafeteria. She glared at her and then at Zell.

"Zell! How could you! What about me?!" She began crying and ran away.

Zell quickly threw Nina down. She landed on her back with a loud thud. Zell turned around and looked at her, not knowing to help Nina or chase his girlfriend. Soon he decided and began running after the girl.

"Trina! Wait up! You don't understand!" Zell yelled out.

(... so he has a girlfriend... I shouldn't mess their relationship... but Zell reminds me too much of him...he, the one who left me all alone in this cruel world... what if he is Zell? But that's not possible... he's dead. What's wrong with me? I know I miss him.. and Zell reminds me so much of him... I must have Zell... I must get rid that girl, Trina... I must be Zell's girl...) Nina thought.

"What are we thinking about here...?" A deep male voice said.

Nina looked back and saw...
