Ok here's chapter two. Thanx for the reviews I love them! We get to hear
a bit from Seifer in this chappy! = ) Angelus! Thanx for the tip. To tell
you the truth I haven't finished the game (blushes) my dad keeps erasing

Well newayz enjoy!
Chapter 2
Quistis stepped out of the elevator and nodded to Xu as she walked into the headmaster's office. Cid sat behind his desk shuffling through papers, his brow knotted in concentration. He looked up and smiled at Quistis. He motioned with one had for her to sit as the other put the papers back into his desk.
"Ah, Quistis my dear, it's good to see you. Were is Seifer?" He asked looking into the hall behind Quistis.
"Late as usual I suppose." Quistis said, not bothering to hide her feelings toward Seifer's tardiness.
"It's just as well, I wanted to speak with you Quistis." He said getting serious. "Now I realize that you and Seifer do not get a long, but for this mission."
"A mission? With Seifer? Headmaster I'm sure there are others who could." Cid waved his hand to silence her.
"For this mission I need the best seeD's I have and that just happens to be you and Seifer." Quistis opened her mouth to argue but closed it as his words hit home.
"Fine." She mumbled under her breath. 'Keep a level head Quistis. But why do I have to get stuck with Seifer?' She thought. 'I haven't talked to him since the sorceress wars. Maybe he's changed; maybe this won't be so bad. Oh, why me?'
"Ah speaking of the devil." Cid said as Seifer strode into the room with a smirk on his face, his sea green eyes sparkling with mischief. Seifer sat back in chair and rested his feet on the desk.
"So what have you got for me?" He asked, his smirk never leaving his face. Quistis studied him from her chair next to him. He hadn't changed, at least not in appearance. He still had his amazing blonde hair, the white trench coat that sported two red crosses on the sleeves, and he wore the same shirt and pants. Quistis wondered idly if he even owned any other clothes. He turned, feeling her eyes on him. She quickly looked away, blushing. He smirked, then turned his attention back to the headmaster. The headmaster started to pace behind his desk, as he usually does during a briefing.
"By now I'm sure that both of you know what you're here for, now here's why." He said halting his pacing to place his hands on his desk. "Yesterday at 1500 hours I received a call from the president of Dollet. It appears that someone is trying to assassinate him. Now I realize that seeDs do not generally do investigations, we are mercenaries after all, but I made and exception this time. According to our sources the employer of the assassin in inside the president's estate. I want the two of you to go in undercover and discover who employed the assassin."
"How?" Asked Quistis already slipping comfortably in with the mission. "If the president suddenly gets two new bodyguards, one of them a woman I might add, it's bound to tip off our man."
"This is why there will be college students majoring in politics visiting the president. The school is sending him to see what the political world is like."
"But headmaster, a college only sends one student per major. We could be from different colleges but for security reasons only one student is allowed at a time." Seifer looked at her with admiration.
"You do your homework don't you instructor?"
"My friend in Balmb did a trip like this once. And I'm not your instructor."
"What you say is correct Quistis, but there was once time when two students were allowed. As I as told the security force allowed the young man to bring his girlfriend. So she could see how the first wife lived of course."
"Oh no! I am NOT posing as HIS girlfriend!" She said jumping up.
"Quistis if you have a better plan I'd love to hear it." Cid said calmly. Quistis quickly sat back down, embarrassed. She slowly shook her head to indicate that she didn't have a better plan.
"Now I know it is not the most pleasurable plan, but it is the best one. A student was scheduled to visit the presidential estate next week. We were able to convince the college to let Seifer take that student's place. You both have one week to prepare. You will take the train to Dollet, where you will be picked up and brought to the president's estate. Any questions?" Both Quistis and Seifer shook their heads. "Good, dismissed." Cid sat behind his desk and pulled out the papers he had been reviewing before Quistis came. He sighed. 'I hope I made the right choice in teaming those two up. Of course I did' He thought 'Quistis is the only one I can trust to keep a level head and not kill the boy.'
Review please! I want to know how to make it better! Oh and Seifer's eyes are green right? Cuz in some fic they said they were azure and I have this marker that's blue and its called azure but then I have a colored pencil called azure and its green. So what color is azure anyway? Ok no one cares. I'm taking up room aren't I? Oh thanx for all of the reviews!! I love them!!! I love criticisms too! It helps me fix things so if you see something I did wrong tell me so I can fix it. I don't want to put anyone out of character.well too much
