Chapter 4: I want answers not more questions
Colt awoke with a jump the sound of engine's surprised him till he remembered where he was.
"Hey." The feminine voice surprised him. Colt was now sitting bolt upright. Paige was sitting across the room from him legs crossed on the customary desk that was in each of the Ragnarok's crew quarters. Colt's face filled with a mixture of embarrassment and fear when he saw his shorts and T-shirt on the floor. Paige laughed at him. "Don't worry you've still got your boxers on." She said between tears of laughter. He relaxed a little when a familiar smell drifted up his nose. "Hey do I smell bacon." Colt asked the black haired girl "Yup With toast and egg's. Its kind of a peace offering to say sorry for getting upset and for not stopping Zell attacking you yesterday." Colt Shrugged "don't worry about it he didn't." "I don't get it from the cut on his forehead I thought you two fought." Paige said puzzled. "Nope I jumped out of the way and Zell went head first into house." Colt informed her as he got out of bed and pulled on a pair of black shorts. "And Dad says I have mom's temper" Colt laughed at the joke only he got.
"Hey I just remembered I never got to ask you yesterday what's your last name." Paige asked the rusty haired male. Colt didn't answer for a few seconds it seemed to Paige as if he couldn't remember what his last name was. "Gainsborough… Colt Tseng Gainsborough." He said finally. "Odd middle name where's it come from" Paige asked. "Its Cetra … um ... Er I mean Centra. It was the name of a very dear friend of my mothers. She used to vist his grave every day." Colt answered there was a twang of sadness in his voice. "Used to." Paige inquired "She passed away a few years ago." He said eyes closed back facing her. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked" Paige then laughed "That was you saying that to me yesterday." Colt pulled on a T- shirt with a logo Paige had never seen before on it. The logo was inside a triangle with a point at the bottom. Inside the triangle was an odd shape. Inside that was the letter T. Paige didn't ask what it meant. "Thanks for the breakfast even though I'm not hungry." "That's okay, Hey what time is it." Paige asked Colt looked at his watch as he fastened it round his wrist. "Nine thirty." "Oh damn Squall wanted everybody down in he hold at nine thirty" She remarked as she walked out of the door "oh and bring your gear and equip any junctions you have. He nodded shoved yesterdays clothes into his pack and shouldered it. He picked up an oblong shaped object that had a set of those small ear phones plugged into it from the desk and clipped it to a belt loop. Put the phones in his ears then grabbed his axe. "Let's go."
Squall stood alone in the cargo bay he had dropped hi usual black leather in favour of a white sleeveless top and a pair of desert camouflage trousers. The Lionheart slung across his back inside a makeshift scabbard. Picking up his Burgan (Ruck sack). He fastened the waist clip and put in over his right shoulder left shoulder so he could still draw the Lionheart if need be. Rinoa, Quistis, Zell, Irvine and Selphie entered the room closely followed by Colt and Paige. Rinoa wore a pair of O.G trousers (Olive Greens) boots with the bottoms of her trousers tucked into them and a blue T-shirt. Selphie for to what seemed the first time in Squall's memorable life was wearing trousers. She was wearing black pants with her usual yellow dress tucked inside at belt height. She had her pack on with the Crescent Wish strapped onto it. Irvine just wore what he usually did as did Zell. Quistis wore a light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to just below her shoulders and her usual orange skirt. Paige wore a bright orange T-shirt and Tie-died pink and blue trousers and her odd weapons on her belt. They all came to attention and saluted Squall "At ease people. Right. First all of you take a tent and a bag of camping gear. Second I said this before but try to avoid any conflict with the natives. And thirdly this is Rinoa's SeeD exam both me and Zell will be evaluating her performance." He paused for a moment then realised he had forgot to say at ease and did so. "Now as for teams Me, Rinoa, Zell and Paige will be scouting the coast for possible landing locations for garden to pick us up and to investigate a odd looking village near the coast. Quistis, Selphie, Colt and Irvine will be heading into what seems to be the town of Wutai to investigate and see what can be found out. Okay everybody move out." He commanded everybody saluted and moved off their camping pick up their gear. As they did so Squall called out "Ten minutes till we leave Quistis I'll radio you later about the details." The blonde Instructor nodded as her team went down the ramp "k Squall speak to you later." She called out. As everybody left the Ragnarok and headed out into the surrounding forests they were nervous as no one knew what was out their expect one person who was with them did.
Authors Note: Any guesses on whoColts parents are. And the member of the team who has been to Wutai before. "The clues are there." Sir David Frost (the host of an English game show called through the key hole.)
