=======================================================================
piFinal Fantasy VIII/i is a story of a young man named Squall
Leonheart, his rise to become a SeeD, and the troubles that this
position drags him in to. This isn't that story. This is about Squall
and his friends fifteen years after the Second Sorceress War. Squall,
Rinoa, Zell, Selphie, Quistis, and Irvine have all grown up a bit, and
have given up on fighting to lead more peaceful lives. They have also
given up on the Guardian Forces, and want to make new memories to
replace the old, forgotten ones. This timeline covers what happened
between the Second Sorceress War, up to the beginning of my story,
iFinal Fantasy VIII... Afterwards/i.
pPlease note that this isn't the official timeline of what happened
after the war, because none exist. The game also has no official year
that the characters live in, so I've set it to the year 1999, which is
when the game came out. Also, I have never made it to the end of the
game, and would rather not be told how it ends, so some of these things
may have never been possible. I you don't care to read this, you can
skip ahead to the first chapter, this is just the background
p1999- The war ends. Irvine returns to Galbadia Garden. Squall
returns the power of leadership of Balamb Garden to Headmaster Cid.
The group all give up on using GF.

storage... just in case.

catches Irvine cheating on her and moves to Balamb. Selphie and Zell
start dating.
p2005- Selphie gives birth to her son, Laguna Tilmitt. She is
uncertain on if the father is Irvine or Zell. Cid makes Quistis the
