Chapter 5
Face to face
"Come in" Cid answered the door. He was shocked at what he saw. "Paul? Is that really you?!"
"Hi ya Cid. Long time no see!" Paul waved at Cid casually
"I thought you're dead? What happened to you 5 years ago? Where are the others? I dispatched SeeDs all around Galbadia but couldn't find you," Cid said. He was very confused like the others when they first met Paul
"All righty here goes my story again," Paul sat down on a chair and started explaining everything all over again.
* Later. *
"So that's what happened.I see.I'm so sorry for Mia and Keza," Cid said as he walked towards the window. "That's why you three refused to use your swords during battle.and Galbadians.I can't believe they did such a dreadful thing. I guess I should cancel off the meeting with Martine tomorrow."
"Martine.do you say MARTINE!!!" everyone was shocked to see the sudden change of Paul.
"What's with him?" Rinoa asked.
"HE IS THE ONE BEHIND ALL THESE!!! HE KILLED MY FRIENDS AND HE EVEN TRIED TO KILLED ME!"
"What?" everyone asked in unison.
"That Martine.he killed Keza and Mia. He is the one who tried to get hold of the swords in order to rule over the world! I'm not going to let him have the reverse edge sword. Never!" Paul shouted in anger.
"Calm down now. I understand your anger, but as much as I understand I can't allow any SeeD to help you," Cid said.
"Why sir?" Quistis asked.
"This is not going to be like any other battles. We're going against the Galbadians again and I hate watching our SeeDs getting injured or killed by them. I'm sorry," Cid said with a sigh.
"....I understand..this matter doesn't have anything to do with Balamb Garden and it will never be.I assure you. Very well..guess I'll leave now. It's not really good for me to stay here any longer. Good bye," Paul said with a smile and a small bow. As she turned away she began to mumble."Come on..don't let me leave this room.say something."
"Wait!" Cid said.
[Yes!] " Anything else?" Paul said while trying to keep a strict face.
"No SeeDs are allowed to assist you but Commander Leonhart and the others would like to help out. They are now on a long term holiday and whatever they do during the holidays have nothing to do with Balamb Garden. How's that sound to you?" Cid smiled at Paul.
"Of course it's good!!!" Paul exclaimed. [Good old Cid doing his job again :) ]
"You can stay here for a maximum of two days then together with the others you shall leave for your mission," Cid added. "You may leave now." Paul practically skipped out of the room happily as she proceed to the elevator. In the elevators, everything was quite once again when suddenly.
"Paul, can I ask you a question?" Rinoa asked in a low voice.
"Yep. Go ahead," Paul answered freely.
"The Galbadians.the one that tried to kill you.is there a guy name Caraway involve in it other than Martine?" Rinoa blurted out with concern. Squall was shocked to hear that but he kept his silence.
"What.? A guy name Carried-a-way?" Paul scratched her head in confusion.
"Caraway," Rinoa repeated.
"Oh.I see I see Caraway. Nope, never heard of him," Paul answered with confidence.
"Really?" Rinoa sounded more cheerful this time. "Positive. Why? What's with that Caraway?" Paul enquired back.
"Nothing.just asking," Rinoa answered with a sigh of relief. Squall and the others too, sighed in relief. They really didn't know what to do if General Caraway was involved in it. No one liked the idea of fighting him especially Rinoa. She wouldn't want to fight with Caraway.her father.at all.not in a million years.

* In the dormitory *
"You can sleep here for tonight," Quistis pointed towards her bed for Paul. "I'll take the floor."
"Nah! I'll take the floor. Besides, I love sleeping on the floor. Bed gives me headache," Paul snapped back.
"All right then," Quistis said. As Quistis was covering herself up with blanket she saw Paul walking up towards her desk. "What's the matter?"
"Can I put my things here?" Paul asked politely. Quistis gave her a sure-go- ahead look and a what-are-you-putting look.
"You'll see," Paul answered with a grin. Quistis stared at her curiously as she reached to her own back and drew out something invisible. Then she started to mumble words which Quistis couldn't figure out and within seconds, two swords were seen lying on the desk. Quistis was mesmerized by the light that emitted from both the swords. Looking at Quistis mesmerized face, Paul laughed lightly.
"Since you pay for my food and let me stay in your room, I'll show you more about the swords tomorrow," Paul assured Quistis.
"Really? Thanks!" Quistis was sure getting excited by then. She had never seen any swords as beautiful as those two.
"But now, I'm sleepy. Can we sleep now?" Paul asked as she yawned. Quistis nodded silently and proceeded to sleep too. More things to see tomorrow and a brand new adventure is waiting for them as they drifted to their own slumber.
