Chapter 3


The T-rexaur growled again before falling. Squall watched it dying,
ready to react if it attack again. But it was definitely dead.

Zell reached him.

"Enjoying yourself?"

" ..."

" Remember when you needed our help to kill those monsters? Now you
can do it by yourself."

" I ... We had a good trainning."

"So. Everything's okay with the baby-sitter?"

"Yes. Griever like her a lot. They're always playing together."

" That's good.Told you she was the one."

"Selphie said it. You told me she was hot."

"Hum... Well...huh...You know..."

"Yeah I know."

" Anyway. Selphie decided we should go out this week end. It will be
5 years since the ultimecia things. She want to celebrate it."

"I see..."

" Do you wanna come?"

" Why not. Maybe it will help me to relax... I'll ask Silver if she
can wathc over Griever."

"Huh..."

"There's a problem?"
"No... Well... I would have like it... If she could come too..."

Squall grinned. He knew Zell was attracted by the girl since he first
saw her.

"That's okay. I'll ask Ellone to take care of him."

"Thanks!"shouted Zell. He begun doing his dance of victory, not
caring about all the looks on him.

"Now if you could wait, I'd like to discuss about our problems."

"Okay"

After showered himself, Squall lead in his dorm direction, Zell
following him.

"Have you contacted Lieutenant Zandor?"

"No. It's like she just vanished. Nobody heard about her since the
Lunar Cry. For some people, she would have wanted to study one of
those new beast and get killed. But there's a rumor about a base in
Centra."

Squall turned himself toward Zell, opening the door to let them in.

"A base?"

"Not really a base. Something more like a ship."

" There's no report about a ship commanded by a woman."

"That's why they say she's dead."

"It would be too bad. She could have been helpfull..."

Squall sat down on one couch, Zell on the other. Griever was building
a castle with Silver's help. They were acting the role of a gentle
witch and a black knight. It reminded Squall of Seifer and Rinoa. It
wasn't Griever nor Silver's fault. The first was too young to
understand, the other just too childish to want to hurt. They were
only playing.

After the end of the war, He though a lot of Seifer. Squall found it
weird at first. He didn't understood. He tried to occup his mind with
something else. But each time, Seifer came back, haunting him. As a
sorceress, Rinoa knew there was a problem in Squall's mind. He was
getting upset too easily. So he finally told her the truth. He
couldn't stop thinking about his former rival, and was deeply hurt by
his death. He told her he loved Seifer, as a rival, as a friend...
Maybe even more.

She didn't react like i was expecting though.

She knew it from the beginning. All their figth, their battle for
domination. I could have been Hate. But Hate is so close from Love...
Sometimes you can mistake about it and take the first for the other.

Squall then saw the difference. But it was unfortunetaly too late.

And now he didn't even had Rinoa by his side. If it wasn't for
Griever, he didn't know what he would have done of himself.

Zell made him jump back to reality. He knew that it didn't sound good
when Squall had that look on his face. Of course, he didn't know
about Seifer.

"Can I ask her?"

"Yes..."

"Silver?"

The girl lookked up. For a sec, her eyes seemed to be gleaming. It
shocked Squall at the moment, but he corrected himself quickly. It
must have been the ligths.

"Yes? What can i do for you?"

"Hum... Silver... You see... Ah hell! Do you want to come with us
saturday night? We have some kind of a party... And"

"A party? Great! Yes, i agree."

"Thanks!!"

Zell did his little victory dance once again in front of two laughing
girl and boy.

Later, Silver put the child in his bed. She was going to leave when
she saw Squall in the living room, a really deeply tihnking look on
his face. 'So it IS funny to gave a name on his looks' thinked
Silver. She approached him and sat down on th couch.

"Got problems?"

" I have many things to take in account."

"I've heard about problems with the monsters. Is it so bad?"

"They are stronger than before, more dangerous. And we don't know how
to handle them.Our weapons don't work on some, magic doesn't work on
other. And those two kind of monster are attacking together. It
became difficult to battle them."

" Oh... I see. You don't have any body to study them?"

" Not here. Nobody want to do that. They think it's like suicide.
They could have been this woman. But we can't found her."

"A woman?"

"Lieutenant Zandor."

"Oh... Well. I hope that you'll find her soon."

She patted his hand then leave. From where Squall was seated, he
couldn't see her mischievous grin.
