Author's notes: Heya! Thanks for the reviews, here's the next part. I hope you'll like it.
Drama!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
~ I want to fly, but my wings are broken. I want to sing, but I have no voice. I want to love, but I've lost him ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
It was hopeless. Rinoa wouldn't pass the SeeD test. Seifer neither.
Both of them were excellent fighters, but they struggled against forces they couldn't defeat:
The problems they carried with them wherever they went.
The cocky ex-knight and daddy's little princess.
Quistis sighed desperately. They had been spending the whole morning in Balamb Garden's training arena, without any visible success. Seifer still had major problems with summoning G.F.s, while Rinoa just couldn't strengthen her physical attacks. Their levels were so high already, Quistis had no doubt their tests would be a lot harder than normal. As a result, both would fail. …And Quistis would stay a SeeD forever.
Seifer began summoning Leviathan. Again, his timing was miserable.
"It's useless!", he shouted, after the creature had defeated the monsters and disappeared again. Turning to Quistis, Seifer's expression became even angrier. "You're the instructor! You're here to tell me why that %$#§* G.F. won't come a &#%$ second earlier!"
Quistis shook her head. "What can I say, Seifer? Leviathan fought you when you were they sorceress' knight. Maybe he… just dislikes you."
He glared at her. "I *dislike* that stupid snake too! What about fighting the enemies with my Hyperion?"
"Using G.F.s will be part of your test. As well as using weapons." By the last comment, Quistis' look was involuntary drawn to Rinoa, who was fighting a T-Rex.
'Even if she doesn't see it, she's an amazing fighter. But for some reason, she's still too slow and her attacks don't cause enough damage', Quistis thought. Turning her attention back to Seifer, she sighed again. At least for this student, she had an advice.
"Seifer, please. When summoning a G.F. try to suppress your feelings. I know it's hard for you, but-"
"Hard for me? What the hell does *that* mean?", he hissed. Taking a few steps in her direction, his emerald-green eyes began sparkling dangerously.
Though she had to fight the urge to step back, she remained where she was. "You know what I'm talking about! You can't control your feelings!"
Another two steps, and he stood right in front of her, looking down at her with an expression of pure hate. "Don't talk about me as if you knew me. You don't, Instructor. You don't. That's why you'll fail at teaching me. That's why I'll fail the SeeD test. That's why we'll *both* fail… Again."
"What does that mean, Seifer?", she shouted furiously. "That it's my fault you aren't a SeeD?"
"Yes. That's what it means", he answered. "YOU failed me, Instructor. You turned away, you chose not to care. You were so dearly in love with Puberty Boy, you barely noticed your other students."
Staring open-mouthed, she couldn't believe what he'd just said.
How did he know? Was he the only one who had noticed? Or was her affection towards Squall the real reason for Cid's decision to make her a SeeD again? A thousand questions ran through her mind. All of them were answered by Seifer's impudent grin.
"It was you", she whispered, slowly shaking her head in disbelief. "I lost my position because of you!"
A small nod, another grin, and Quistis self-control was finally gone.
"How could you do something like that?", she shouted, not noticing that Rinoa had finished fighting the T-Rex and started watching the two of them. Her Shooting Star loosely in her hand, her mouth slightly opened. The question running through her mind was almost written on her forehead: What was going on between those two?
"It's simple, Instructor", Seifer answered her question, his cocky grin frozen on his face. "I was hanging on the edge of heaven. I reached out... But you... you decided to turn away. So *I* decided to make you fall too."
Her eyes widened.
Of course.
Squall. Seifer. Her.
All of them had needed someone. A sister, a lover or just someone to rely on…
And when they had all been disappointed, when all their hopes had been destroyed, they had tried to turn to something else…
Squall's isolation from the world. Seifer's cocky manner. Her… her desperate search for perfection.
In the end, Squall found love.
Her and Seifer… found themselves in even greater misery.
'But you… you decided to turn away.'
'No', Quistis thought. 'It wasn't me…you turned to.'
Heaven had sent an angel to rescue Squall Leonhart.
The angel…
turned away from Seifer Almasy.
