Erica Leafwood

I didn't have time to wonder where he went. Only seconds after relizing he wasn't behind me any longer, Cid's voice crackled over the intercom.
"Will Kay Hollywood, Seifer Almasy, Zell Dincht, Irvine Kinneas, and Selphie Tillmit please report to my office at this time?"
I sighed. Wondering what Cid could possibly want of us at this time, I jogged back to the entrance to the center. The Grat was still where I left it. I guess I should wake it up... So I walked past it, tapping it on the shoulder.
I jumpped nimbly out of the way of a flailing arm. Then I continued on my way to the Elevator. Cid'soffice was on the third floor. You didn't think I'd walk, did you?
I got to the elevator at the same time Selphie and Irvine did.
"Whats going on?" Irvine called, flagging me down.
"I don't know," I said truthfully, jogging in place, waiting for the elevator to get down here.
"Where's Seifer?" Selphie asked. "Wasn't he with you?"
"Not with me. More like tailing me," I said glummly.
Thats when Zell ran up. He had a half eaten hot dog in his left hand and was out of breath. He dashed over to us as the elevator doors opened, and we all got in.
"Phew, made it!" he gasped.
I shook my head.
"Where's Seifer?" he asked.
"Somewhere. Kay doesn't know where at the moment," Irvine said.
"And I'm supposed to?" I asked.
Zell changed the subject. "At the Training Center again, Kay?"
I touched the hilt of my broadsword and nodded. "Yeah. Didn't do any good."
"What do you mean?"
"Rexy wasn't there."
"You went to fight the T-Rxaur?!" Selphie cried.
I grinned and shrugged. "Sorta..."
"Hey girl, you got to be careful! If I was there I'da-"
He didn't get much further. Selphie had kicked him in the leg.
"I'm your girlfriend!"
"Owww! I'm sorry, Sefie!" Irvine appoligized.
When we got out of the elevator and into the hall, Seifer showed up. He had obviously taken the stairs.
"Forget about me already, Hollywood?" he sneered.
"Not likely. How could I forget someone so loud?" I retorted.
Thats when Cid stepped into the Hall way. Cid Krammer was about fourty- two. Balding and hawk- nosed, he wore glasses and a white shirt with a red vest. Cid was the headmaster of the Garden.
"You five, into my office now," he announced.
Seifer grumbled something in- audibe, and we walked into the office.
It was a drab little thing, only a few posters and awards to grace its walls. There was a long wooden desk, file cabnets, and six guest chairs. Two of them were occupied.
One was a girl, about ten years old, with long raven- black hair.She had a long blue komono with magenta sleeves and a black bow. She had pale blue eyes, and her skin was pure white, almost as white as paper.
The second was Laguna.
"Sir Laguna!" Selphie cried happily, clapping her hands.
"Oh, hey Selphie."
This wasn't like him. Laguna was mostly happy. I mean, he holds maps upside down. He's got holes in his pockets big enugh for keys to fall through, for gods sake. He was the endearingly-awkward-around-women kind of man with a freelance attitude who was still such a gentalman that he was called "Sir Laguna" by Selphie. In general, he was usualy in a very good mood.
"Now," Cid said, bustling into the room and sitting in his chair behind his desk. "You've been brought here to receive your next mission."
I raised my hand, just like in class.
"Yes, miss Hollywood."
"How does Laguna tie into any of this?"
"I'm getting there."
I grinned. "Oh, okay."
I put my hand down.
"When you were sent to Dollet, it was to assist the Dollet troops against Galbadians..... Again. As you may have guessed, we are in th middle of another war. No, Kay, not a Sorceress War, but a war between Nations.
"It seems that Galbadia Garden wanted to rule over all of the country over there. When the other citys denied, the Galbadians opened fire on the other citys."
Seifer yawned. "And what does all of this have to do with Seifer and the kid?"
For once, Cid didn't say "I'm getting there" and instead he seemed to remember something.
"Oh yeah, the girl is Erica Leafwood. Erica, meet Kay." I smiled. "Seifer." He glared. "Selphie." She giggled. "Irvine." He tipped his hat. "And Zell." He gave a cocky grin.
Erica smiled shyly and muttered, "Hello," to the floor. Not that it was her first time meeting the floor, but hey, everyone's weird.
"Now, Erica is your next mission," Cid announced.
"Eh?" Zell asked, cocking his head to one side.
"You are to protect her. Keep watch on her at all times, and i mean all. She must stay away from Galbadians at all costs," Cid explained calmly.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was telling us to brush our teeth after every meal.
"Uh, pardon me, but why do we have to look after her?" Irvine asked.
"She is the daughter of General Ron Leafwood. Further explinations are not needed," Cid said shortly.
"Uh- huh......." Irvine muttered.
"Is your next mission clear?" Cid asked.
We all shrugged and gave out short yes's, looking at each other awkwardly.
"Your mission starts now. I suggest you start by getting miss Leafwood some rest. She had a long trip," Cid advised.
Seifer shook his head. "So we get to baby sit? Is that it?"
"No, nothing of the sort. You are just going to be her gaurdians."
"Oh, like Hell we are!"
"Hey!" I said, hitting Seifer on the arm.
"What?"
"Stop swearing!"
"Me?"
"Yes!"
"What about you?"
"Shut up!"
Zell got inbetween us. "Hey you guys, take it easy!"
"Yeah, whats your problem?" Irvine asked.
"Irvine! They got into a fight at the dance, don't you remember?!" Selphie hissed.
"Oh! Yeah! We got that on tape, right?"
Selphie hit her forehead and shook her head. "Never mind...."
Seifer was still staring at me. He sneered. "I'm not babysitting. Not now. Not tonight," he said finaly.
"Fine. Erica can come with me and Selphie for tonight. We can work out the details later, like tommorow at breakfast,"I said.
"Details? Zell scratched his head.
"Yeah," I sighed. "On how we're going to get this mission done."
"What about Leonhart?" Seifer asked. "Why doesn't he have this mission?"
"Well," Cid said. "I'm glad you asked. I guess I trust you more."
We all looked at him blankly.
"Oh, sure, he's a great fighter, but a child watcher? Now thats pushing it!" Cid laughed.
"You still havn't told us what Laguna has to do with any of this," I reminded.
"Laguna? Absolutly nothing. He just brought her here," Cid said as if it were obvious.
I sighed again. Tonight was a bad night for the princess.
"So, everyone, I'm going to bed. All of you are going to your dorms. Go to bed now," Cid said, dissmissing us back to our dorms.
Selphie and I took Erica for that night. It wasn't too interesting, but she had a few nightmares. Other than that it was easy.
--------------------------------------------------
So, uh, strange twist, no? Anyway, who is this Erica? Why does she have to have SeeD protect her? Who is her real father, and why does Ron have nothing to do with her life? Are there special chocolate cows to make chocolate milk? These important questions will be answered later on! ^_^ Anyway, there's going to be a good chapter soon! LOVE and ROMANCE between unlikely people will be coming up soon! HINT: Its two out of game charectors.... :(
SOON TO BE NEW CHARECTORS:
Scye- Sharpshooter for Galbadian Army... Something going on here!
Chanhassen- Sorceress? Something like that. Bad... uh... Girl.
Alex- Another Galbadian person.... more in the next few chapters.
