Author's Note: Okay! This story takes place 18 years after the FF8 gang
defeat Ultimecia.
So have fun! ;) (will I be able to finish at least one story someday?) o_O
Don't judge too harsh about my formulations! English is a foreign language
for me!
I like to read review does not matter if they are critical or not!

Prologue
"He is not that bad, is he?"
"I won't say anything about him! I think it is just a stupid idea. Damned stupid, if you ask me!"
"Oh..come on! Jealous, heh?!"
"I AM NOT!"
"Oh Daddy! You're just mad because Mom was in love with him, right?"
"I. hmm. I .. No! It is just that. I don't think that it would be right to send my little daughter to Galbadia. It is senseless! You can learn the same things here. And who will take care of you? Alone in Galbadia. you are just a child!"
Janine Leonhart went to her father and hugged him tightly.
"Oh Daddy. I am not a child! And I am not alone! July will be with me and uncle Irvine will take care of us!"
"But I don't.."
". trust him. I know."
She went out of the Headmaster's office sadly.
Squall stood alone in the room, thinking.
He remembered the day Irvine told them he wanted to go back.
**flashback**
"You can't just run away, Irvine."
"I am not running away! I need to go back! You don't understand it. Nobody does! You did not even try to understand it."
"Then Hyne, tell me why you are leaving!"
"Because." he sighed. Irvine Kinneas, the moody cowboy stood there.quiet.
"Irvine, come on. Tell me!"
"Squall. I have to go back! Galbadia is my home! There are my friends, my family."
"WE are your family! Everytime we asked you you told us that there was nobody in Galbadia waiting for you to come back! You said you did not have any friends! You were just lying?"
"No. but I don't have any friends here, either."
He turned around and walked away. Leaving Squall all alone there, standing in front of the Balamb Garden, watching his friend go away. His words were ringing in his ears.. *I don't have any friends here, either*
**end of flashback**
"DAMN," Squall yelled and hit the table with his fist. "You did have friends. friends who were crying. And I had to tell them you are gone.had to see them crying. " Tears started to run down his cheeks as he knelt on the floor.
A knock on the door made him jump. He cleared his face and said to come in.
"Hey Squall.you okay?" It was Quistis Trepe. She went in and placed a hand on his shoulder. Squall turned away and sat on his desk.
"Squall.what happened?"
"I think you know what happened! Was it you idea to send my daughter to Galbadia?"
"No it wasn't. July wanted to go there. and Nine, too ! Squall, and the other students always make fun of them, because of us! It is not good for a child to be taught at a school where the parents are teachers. They are always picking on the girls. It is normal that they want to go away."
"But Irvine is at Galbadia," he yelled.
She sighed and sat next to him on the desk.
"And? What is the problem?"
"You know exactly what the problem is! As far as I know Irvine has his children at his school, too. So why can't my little girl stay here?"
"Because she does not want to. "
She stood up and went to the door, turned around and gave him a heartmelting look.
"Squall. Rinoa would not be against it. I am sure about it." With those words she left the room.
Rinoa. his beautiful angel. She left him, too. And he was not able to stop it. Everybody was leaving. He remembered the time at the orphanage. when Sis left.. remembered the day he found Irvine in front of Balamb Garden. Irvine was waiting for him. Wanted to tell him that he would go back to Galbadia. His things were packed and already in the car he borrowed from the Garden. His best friend was leaving.. And he could not stop it. He just yelled at him and did not want to understand. The loss of his wife was so unexpected and tragic.. so. damned senseless. She died like her mother in a car crash. She was on her way to her father. Wanted to tell him that she was pregnant again. It would be a boy. A son for the Lion. And she did want to make things up between them. But then.
And now his little daughter wanted to leave. Wanted to go to this heartless cowboy. Life was so full of shit!
