This is the longest chapter yet but that's because it takes place over four years. I'm sorry it took so long to put up but half of it got deleted and I couldn't make it sound right again. This whole chapter is about Seifer and Quistis except for once when Rinoa makes a cameo.

~Chapter Five~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Galbadia Garden~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quistis was studying again. She wanted to make sure she kept her spot at the head of the class even if Seifer didn't seem to care if he did. He hadn't studied all day, instead he had dragged a practice dummy over to where she studied and had proceeded to attack it making the most noise he possibly could.
"Seifer would you stop that already and come study." Quistis yelled.
"What ever you say mom." Seifer snickered at her.
"Seifer come on. I'm serious we got to study. You've been hacking away at that thing all day."
"Alright I'm coming...sooner or later."
"No come on now."
"Fine, fine, fine I'm coming."
"Good lets begin then." Quistis regained her superior look. A look that Seifer couldn't help taunting.
"Quistis if I behave myself can I get off early."
"We have to study besides if you leave early it will throw my study plan off."
"Ya know what? You study way too much. If you don't study for one night it's not gonna kill you. Hell it's not gonna even make you get out off the head of the class spot. You need to lighten up."
"Whatever just sit down and study." Quistis didn't know which she disliked more the time before when she and Seifer hadn't talked or now when he wouldn't shut up. Even as she thought this he was talking.
"I got a great idea...Let's go out somewhere. Just you and me. We'll have fun I know we will. Come on what do you say. One night away from these books isn't gonna hurt. If you do this I'll study like an angel for the rest of the week."
"That's not going to work its Friday today. All next week and you got a deal."
" Fine." Seifer was beaten into submission and secretly glad about it. Now he was going on a date with Quistis who he wasn't going to admit he had a crush on.
"Not tonight though." Quistis burst his bubble.
"Why not?"
"You study tonight I'll believe your promise and we'll go out tomorrow."
"Gah...you strike a hard bargain but ok I'll study tonight." Seifer shook his head sadly.
"Excellent now I can study in peace. Come on don't sit around then open up your books," as she said this she pulled out a huge planner and pointed at what Seifer had to study.
"What is all that? There's tons of stuff to do. Why so much? I'm not gonna have time to finish it all tonight."
"Well that's what you get for interrupting my study plan. You were supposed to start this earlier so you'd get it done but it looks like you won't be able to now. Oh well I guess you'll just have to finish it tomorrow. I won't let you back my study plan up even if it means not going out tomorrow." Quistis knew how to get what she wanted.
"No I'll get it done by tomorrow. We can still go out. It's all good. See look I'm starting now."
And so he did. He worked late into the night even after Quistis left the library. He stayed in the library until a Garden faculty member told him to leave. Even then he didn't quit his work. He just took his books up to his room and finished his work there. It was around 2:30 before he finally crawled into bed and collapsed underneath his sheets. He had never worked so hard to get a girl to go out with him. "Damn this better be worth it." Seifer said out loud but in his mind he knew it would be. He closed his eyes and slept peacefully until morning.
A large amount of bright light woke him in the morning. He turned to look at his clock only to see that he had barely a few minutes to get to class. He threw clothes on and ran out of the dorms trying to get to class on time. If he didn't make it his teacher would be horribly mad and he probably wouldn't get to go out tonight. He made it to class just as the bell was ringing. His teacher gave him a stern look but said nothing since he had made it in time. Quistis however glared at him for almost being late. He tried to ignore it but after awhile it's hard to pretend something's not happening if it's staring at the side of your head. He turned to face her and smiled. She just turned her head the other way. "What's up I made it didn't I," Seifer whispered. "You make me mad. You don't take things seriously enough. Now shh." Quistis didn't look at him for the rest of the morning. Seifer finally caught up with her at lunchtime. "Quistis I take things seriously. See look I did all the work you gave me. That's why I was almost late I stayed up late in order to finish it. But you gotta look I did it all." "You did finish it. I guess that means we're still on for tonight," she said it with an almost sad voice. "What's wrong now you don't want to go out with me tonight?" Seifer questioned anxiously. "It's nothing I do want to go out tonight." The thing that was bothering her was that she had a crush on Seifer. She believed that he was just taking her out so he wouldn't have to study tonight. She figured that they'd go out once and then he would go find other people to go with and she'd be stuck liking him but having to watch him date many people. "Smile then, act happy. Tonight's gonna be fun." Seifer was looking at her with big eyes. Quistis nodded and smiled as she walked back to the classroom for afternoon classes. Seifer caught up to her and walked beside her. Quistis blushed with happiness.
As soon as afternoon classes let out Quistis ran back to her room worrying about what she was going to wear tonight. Her roommate offered to help her decide and together they picked out an excellent outfit. Seifer unlike Quistis wasn't worrying about his looks. He barely planned on brushing his hair before they left. He was however worrying about what they were going to do on their date. There was nothing to do around Galbadia Garden. The most that they could do would be to go to the café at the train station. They could hang out there for a while or if they had time they could take the train into Timber but it wasn't really allowed. The Garden didn't want students to go into Timber without an adult. Galbadia was hated by Timber. Quistis would never go for the whole being sneaky bit. He decided that then they would just have to hang out at the café.
Seifer met Quistis at the front gate at 7 o'clock. They walked over to the train station saying nothing. It was very awkward for the both of them. After what seemed to be ages they arrived. Seifer ordered hot chocolate for them and a cake thing for himself. Then they sat by a window and avoided each other's eyes.
"Um...so...I hope this ah...night away from the Garden didn't affect your study program." Seifer said trying to break the silence.
"No it's fine I just had to adjust it slightly. We'll catch up in a few nights. Especially because you promised you'd behave during study time."
"Yeah...heh heh." Seifer smiled weakly.
"You can't go back on your promise."
"I won't it's just that I only just realized that for a week I'm gonna hafta obey your every command. It's a scary thought." Quistis gave him a mean look but didn't say anything.
"So...why do you have to be at the head of the class all the time?" Seifer asked making another brave stab for conversation.
"It's just my nature. I have to do my best and I have to make you do yours. Also I plan on taking my SeeD exam when I'm 15."
"Why so young? You could wait a year or two and take it when you have more experience."
"I wanna become an instructor. I plan on becoming a SeeD and start studying for my instructor's license right away."
"That's a huge plan. I'm sure you'll be able to do it and all but wow it's amazing. I could never plan so much like that." Seifer said in awe.
"It's not hard. I'll help you if you want."
"It's not in my nature. I have to live day-by-day I guess. I can't plan so far ahead. But thanks anyway."
The conversation slowly drifted away from school. For the next hour they made small talk about nothing really important. They had just moved onto the subjects of families when Seifer decided it was time to leave the café. Quistis followed him out not pressing for details about his past since he obviously didn't want to tell her about it. Instead she talked about fighting techniques. She thought that it was an odd subject for a date but she knew that it would capture Seifer's attention. They resumed talking until they got back to the Garden. Instead of them leaving each other at the front gate Seifer walked Quistis back to her room. On the way there he slowly slipped his hand into hers. She didn't pull it away she just relished the feeling of his hand in hers. Finally the dreadful moment of goodbye came. They had reached her door and instead of just leaving they stood outside for a few moments until finally in an act of bravery Seifer leaned over and pecked Quistis on the lips. He then proceeded to turn and run down the hall toward his own dorm room. Quistis touched her hand to her lips and went inside her room smiling.
That wasn't the last kiss Seifer ever gave Quistis they became boyfriend and girlfriend a week after their date. Quistis was pleasantly surprised with it all; she had never expected Seifer to want anything more than friendship with her. Seifer at the same time was surprised that Quistis would actually want more than friendship with him. He thought that she would want someone who was on top of things like her. Quistis voiced their differences to her roommate and asked, "Why do you think we fit together if we're so different? We don't really like the same things at all." Her roommate told her, "Opposites attract and you guys do have things in common." Quistis wasn't sure about that but it didn't matter she was happy to not worry for once and just enjoy her relationship with Seifer. The bad thing for Seifer was that he figured he'd have to be a little nicer to her now. He'd have to at least try to pay attention when she gave him boring lectures about the lessons they had learned. Quistis was at first too wrapped up in the idea of Seifer being her boyfriend to concentrate much on school work but after her first less than perfect score she had to get back on track. Seifer had enjoyed the week of no schoolwork but once it returned he just went with it again. The two of them decided that they wouldn't study Saturday nights and they would go out then but Quistis said only if they had finished all the work for that week first. That meant almost ever Friday night Seifer was up until very late finishing his work. They spent so much time together just because of school one would think that they would want to spend Saturdays apart. On Saturdays once lessons were over they would meet by the front gate and do things together. They said that they couldn't get sick of each other because the time they spent together during the week was strictly for schoolwork. The time they spent on the weekends was their own time to be together.
They had a peaceful relationship for two people who were rather opinionated. No real fights broke out the first year they were together. But when one finally did it was a huge one. At age fourteen Quistis was becoming more worried about her SeeD exams. She had only a couple of months before her fifteenth birthday and the SeeD exam. She packed on so much extra studying for herself that she barely had time to see Seifer. She even started canceling the plans to spend Saturdays together. Seifer understood how important it was to her to become a SeeD at age fifteen but he didn't understand why she couldn't take one night off a week to spend time with him. After the first few cancellations Seifer got annoyed at her. He confronted her once about it and she had brushed him off telling him that they'd hang out the Saturday coming up. But when that Saturday came Quistis only stayed with Seifer for about an hour before she decided she had to go. Seifer got really mad then.
He looked at her for a few seconds and then said, "Fine go study...I don't care anymore. You don't want to spend any time with me anymore. But it's all ok...you go study. Go become a SeeD forget all about me. I won't be here when you come back though."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing but obviously becoming a SeeD is more important to you then spending any time with me. You can't even take one night off a week to spend time with me. All you do is study and I don't even think that will help you pass the test." Seifer said meanly.
"Why not? I'm prepared. I'll do fine you're just mad that you have no chance of passing the SeeD exams." Quistis was angry with him to.
"I'm not trying to pass this year. I don't care if I fail this year it's not important to me. You are or rather you were the important thing to me. I want to see you succeed but I think you go about it the wrong way. It has been proven that by taking some time to spend away from the books actually helps people. Also I thought I was important to you. But maybe I was wrong. I dunno anymore." Seifer didn't sound mean anymore just a little sad.
"You are important to..." Quistis started to say but was cut off.
"If I was really important to you don't you think you would want to spend time with me."
"I do want to spend time with you but...but I really have to study for the exam. As soon as it is all over everything can go back to normal. We..."
Seifer cut her off again by saying, "No it can't because then you'll just be studying to try to become a teacher. Nothing will change; you'll always have to study for something. Also when you become a teacher who knows where you will teach. We will get separated nothing can be the same."
"Things will be different but it doesn't mean that we can't stay together. I'm sorry I've been so busy lately. I really have to become a SeeD this year. I'm sorry that I took so much time away from us. I'm going to spend every Saturday with you, the whole Saturday. I won't break this promise. Please believe me." Quistis looked at Seifer with sad eyes.
"All Saturday…the whole day you better keep this promise. If you do I'll forgive you. I'll also help you train for your field exam. You need to practice fighting more. You'll pass this year for sure." Seifer said with a small grin.
After their fight was over everything went back to normal. Seifer helped Quistis with fighting until she became rather good at using her weapon. He had so much faith in her, he was so positive that she would pass the SeeD exam that year. With Seifer's help Quistis became more confident in her ability to pass the exam that she started taking more than one night off a week from studying. She and Seifer were happy again and so their relationship continued unharmed. The weeks until the SeeD exam passed by too quickly for Quistis until finally it was the day of the written exam. She woke up that morning to find Seifer waiting for her in the sitting area between her and her roommate's room. He greeted her with a huge smile and a kiss on the lips. She smiled back at him and said, "What are you doing up so early I thought you didn't exist until at least 10am." "I wanted to see you before the test and I knew it started early." Quistis smiled again. "Let me just change into my uniform and we'll go down to breakfast before the test." She said. "Ok" Seifer sat down to wait. A few moments later Quistis emerged with a nervous smile on her face. Seifer could already tell that she was getting worried about the exam. He put his arm around her shoulder and led her to the cafeteria. Quistis forced herself to eat some breakfast. Her nerves weren't letting her eat much though. She knew that she had studied her hardest so she shouldn't have to worry about failing but she still did. Seifer tried to make small talk that would distract her but he failed. Eventually the time came for Quistis to go take the test. Seifer walked her to the classroom and asked, "Do you want me to wait outside here for you?" "It's a two hour test you'll get bored. You don't have to wait you can just come back later." She responded. Seifer gave her a quick hug and wished her luck before he watched her enter the classroom. He stood outside the door for a couple of minutes but then decided to go calm his own nerves in the training center. He was very nervous for her and he didn't know why. He had so much faith that she would pass that he shouldn't be worrying. He paced the training center for a while before returning to the classroom. Quistis still had some time left but Seifer stayed outside waiting for her. A while later Quistis exited the classroom. The second she did Seifer bombarded her with questions. "How do you think you did? Was it hard? Did you understand everything? Do you think you passed? When will you find out your score?" Quistis paused a moment to get her thoughts organized before she answered Seifer. "It wasn't hard at all. I studied everything on there. I'm almost sure I passed. I'll find out my score tomorrow." Seifer was happy for her but also a little worried. If she passed the written exam (which he was sure she did) she would have to take the field exam. He was worried about that part. She was good at bookwork but at fighting she was sometimes sloppy. He pulled her hand into his and they walked away from the classroom.
The next day Quistis skipped back and forth outside the classroom waiting to see the results of the exam. Seifer stood behind her trying to make her calm down. A faculty member put up the scores and Quistis ran forward to look at them. A screech of happiness emerged from her lips and she ran back to hug Seifer. Not only had she passed the written exam she had gotten the highest score. Seifer hugged her back squeezing her tightly to his body. People came up and congratulated Quistis all day. She seemed so happy about her score she loved that everyone knew. All that day she didn't worry about the field exam but that night when she was finally alone with Seifer she started to worry again. Seifer patted her back and told her she'd do fine. They tired to keep their minds off the upcoming test.
Two Days Later
Quistis woke up on the day of her field exam nervous and frightened. She was worrying herself sick and she knew she shouldn't. She had trained for this part of the exam also. It wasn't like she didn't know anything about fighting. It was that she had heard that people had actually died on the field exam and she wasn't sure she was entirely ready to take such a big risk. "Quisty you'll do fine. Nothing's gonna happen. You'll pass this just like you passed the written test. I know you'll pass." Seifer said this even though he wasn't entirely sure she would pass the field exam. Quistis nodded and headed for the parking lot. Seifer waved goodbye to her and went to wait in his room. Quistis took panicky steps to the awaiting car. Inside she faced her other group members they all looked as scared as she did. They all gave each other a puny smile before settling back into anxious silence. Soon an instructor came over to them with their task. Squad B (which was what they were) was to secure the area around the Pub and TV station in Timber. A large resistance group had formed to protest and it turned violent. Quistis' squad consisted of six people herself included. The Squad leader decided to split the group up into two groups one to strictly watch the Pub and the other the TV station. The Galbadian soldiers were the ones who were actually gonna to capture the rebels but the students were there to make sure no one got away and to smother and other protests that might arise in there area. This didn't seem like such a hard mission to Quistis there were other soldiers present so she didn't really need to worry. Her group was sent to watch the TV station there they waited and only got into one little battle. The person was easily disposed of and their test remained easy. A couple hours later most of the resistance group's members were either arrested or in hiding. An order went out for the students to return to the vehicles after a Galbadian soldier came and relieved them. While waiting for the solider Quistis noticed out of the corner of her eye and small figure appear in the shadows. She turned her head to get a better look. The figure was of a girl about her own age with dark hair. 'She's probably a member of the resistance group,' thought Quistis. The girl continued to slip silently backward trying to make her escape from the city. Quistis debated with herself whether or not to turn this girl in. What damaged could a little girl like that do? If Quistis turned her in she would be sent to the Desert Prison and Quistis didn't want to be the one to send her. She turned her head back and ignored the girl. By the time the relief soldier came the girl was long gone and her squad was ready to leave. The field exam wasn't nearly as hard as she thought it was going to be. It was more boring then anything.
Seifer waited in the parking lot for the cars to return when they did he ran over to the car Quistis was in. She stepped out, grabbed his hand, and led him away. They walked around the garden talking about her exam. Seifer was relieved to know that the exam had been easy now he had no worries that she would pass. The next day all the students that had taken the field exam had to report to the cafeteria in order to be told their scores. Seifer went with Quistis for moral support. A faculty member called out the names of the new SeeDs and told them to proceed to Headmaster Martine's office. Quistis was one of the surprisingly many people called. She went into the office calmly but exited at a run waving around her certificate that showed she was a SeeD.
That night instead of going to the SeeD ball Quistis and Seifer sat outside talking. Seifer was now worrying that Quistis would get sent away or something. She assured him that that wasn't going to happen. She had already signed up to take the course in becoming and instructor. They would be together for at least another year depending if Seifer took his SeeD exam at age 16. Seifer stopped worrying there was no point to it. They stayed outside for a long time just being happy that they were together.
Quistis' instructor class didn't start for a couple of weeks and that made Seifer start to worry all over again. He didn't want for her to be sent on a mission and not return. Both of the times he heard she got a mission he became worried. Both of the missions were easy and didn't require her to stay away from the Garden. She returned and finally started her instructor course. Seifer had enjoyed the couple of weeks that Quistis didn't have to study it had meant that she didn't make him study either but the second her instructor class started she made him work once again. Everything went back to being quiet and normal for a while. The quietness didn't last for long. People started picking on Seifer because his girlfriend outranked him. The more they teased him the more angry he got until he started to fight the people. Over the years of him working with Quistis she had helped him to stop his violent tendencies but now everything that they worked on went right out of his head. He only knew one way to get people to stop and that was to fight them. He got into fights regularly for a while until the Headmaster said that if he kept all the fights up that they might be forced to ask Quistis to take her instructor class at another Garden. Seifer stopped with all the fights immediately he didn't want Quistis to go. Again peace returned.
About a year after Quistis' exam Seifer was preparing to take his own. He was going to wait to try until he was 17 but he changed his mind. He wanted to be a SeeD as soon as possible. Quistis helped him study right away. She loaded on extra studying so he'd be ready for the written test. Seifer did all the work she gave him but he didn't feel anymore confident. He had no faith that he was going to pass that year. Quistis tried to cheer him on and make him feel ready but he still wasn't confident. That lack of confidence or maybe it was that he wasn't ready hurt him. He failed the written exam by three points. Although he was upset he didn't show it. He just started to study for next year's exam.
At age 17 Seifer and Quistis were both preparing for a big exam. Seifer was confident that he would pass his SeeD exam this year and Quistis was ready for her instructor exam. Both of the tests were on the same day. The night before the tests they took off from studying to discuss what would happen to them if they passed. Seifer would be a full-fledged SeeD and go on missions while Quistis would be and instructor and end up a one of the Gardens. They might get separated.
"Where do you think you'll be going after you pass your exam?" Seifer asked.
Quistis at first was reluctant to tell him because she had already talked to the Headmaster and he had told her that if she passed he had a job for her, a job that wasn't in Galbadia Garden. "Oh…um…well Headmaster Martine told me that an instructors job opened up at Balamb Garden so I'll probably end up there." Quistis said quietly.
Instead of the upset response she had expected Seifer sounded joyful when he said, "Well that's great. Balamb Garden is where all the SeeDs are stationed. We'll still be together."
Quistis had forgot that the SeeDs were stationed in Balamb she wouldn't have to leave Seifer. She sent away any thoughts that told her that Seifer would be gone on missions. Seifer also ignored those thoughts. They left each other early that night in order to be prepared for their exams. In the morning they met up for breakfast and after walked each other to the classrooms. Seifer started his exam and realized it seemed a lot easier then the last one. He was much more confident that he would pass this time. Quistis also as she sat in another classroom thought her exam was easy. They both exited their classrooms at about the same time and went down to the Quad to relax. The next day dawned and the results of the tests were in. Seifer surprised himself by getting one of the higher grades in his class. Quistis also passed her exam with flying colors. All that was left for Seifer was his field exam; Quistis didn't need to pass a field exam to become a teacher. The SeeD field exam was in two days over that time Quistis packed her stuff to go to Balamb Garden. She was going to stay at Galbadia until after Seifer's field test but she felt that she should be ready to go as soon as possible. The afternoon before Seifer's field exam a letter came for him. Letters for Seifer were rare his mother wrote to him every once but it seemed she had a hard time posting the letters as if something was keeping her away. Quistis didn't know anything about Seifer's family so she didn't know what could be stopping Seifer's mom from writing to him. Seifer tore open the letter when he saw that a hand that was not his mother's addressed it. He read it over frantically once then twice and if he had read something that he didn't want to absorb. He left Quistis standing in the hall and ran to his room. Quistis followed after him trying to find out what was wrong. He didn't answer his door when she knocked and so she turned away wondering what that letter had said. She spent a sleepless night worrying about him while he spent a sleepless night reading his letter growing sadder and angrier after each reading.
The next morning came and with it came Seifer's field exam. Quistis waited outside Seifer's door to see if he would come out for his field test. He did and they went down to the Parking lot. Seifer didn't say anything about the letter and Quistis didn't want to ask him about it if it would distract him from his field exam. Seifer's field exam took him to Deling city. In Deling city his squad (which he was the leader of) was made to guard General Caraway's Mansion from an attack of anonymous soldiers. Seifer led his group to Caraway's then left them. He snuck away quietly leaving them alone. He ran to prison in the outskirts of town. The prison was rather empty because all the guards were gone to fight the mysterious soldiers. Seifer climbed a flight of stairs and ran into a guard, which he quickly knocked unconscious and pushed out of his way. He searched every cell until coming to the last one in it was his father. Seifer stood tall as he glared at his father. His father in return looked up at him and said with a curious voice, "Seifer?" Seifer nodded and continued to glare. They remained looking at each other for a while before Seifer lifted up his Gunblade to strike his father. His father's eyes grew wide where was the little boy the one he could control. Now a grown man stood before him ready to strike him down just like he used to strike the little boy. "You killed mom." Seifer choked out at last. Darrel nodded now with an evil gleam in his eyes. "So what if I did she deserved it just like you deserved it when I used to hit you." Seifer let out a scream and went to slash his father. Two sets of hands wrestled Seifer back and took his Gunblade away from him. Darrel laughed as Seifer was dragged away by two SeeDs.
Quistis was waiting for Seifer to return with the rest of the SeeD candidates but when the cars got back Seifer wasn't with them. She went in search of the members of his group then. She only found one the others had been wounded. Now extremely worried Quistis paced back and forth in the main hall. Finally after a very long time Quistis saw a car approaching the Garden. Two SeeDs exited the car and dragged inside with them Seifer. Seifer at that point had calmed down enough to stop fighting to get away now he just trudged slowly along with them to the Headmaster's office. Quistis followed and waited outside the office.
"Seifer what did you think you were doing out there?" Martine asked.
Seifer didn't respond only looked away.
"You know what you did was very foolish. You left your group member stranded at Caraway's. The enemy got to them some were wounded they could have been killed and it would have been your fault." Martine continued.
"It would have been their own fault they were trained to fight if they failed it was their fault." Seifer stated.
Martine continued as if Seifer hadn't spoken. "Now these charges would usually make a person be expelled but on account of your grief," Martine held up the letter Seifer had received, "we'll make an exception. You may remain here but you have severe punishment in the disciplinary room. You can also still try to be a SeeD next year. You are dismissed I'm having a SeeD escort you to the disciplinary room."
Seifer was led out of the room and into the hall where Quistis waited. He didn't say anything to her he just turned his head and walked on. In a few days everyone knew what had happened to Seifer. There was no secret about what went on during his SeeD exam. Quistis had to leave for Balamb Garden before Seifer got off of his punishment time. She managed to see him once before she left but he was cold and distant to her. She left Galbadia not knowing what to think.
Seifer's punishment didn't help to cool of his anger at his father. That anger grew inside him until he was angry with everyone he knew excluding his posse who were there to back him up. He even grew angry with Quistis for helping him to become less violent. He convinced himself that the only people he needed were his posse because they were the only people who didn't try to change him. Finally after enough of his rage built up he broke out of the disciplinary room and him and his posse ran away from the Garden. Seifer had wanted to become a SeeD for his mother now with he gone he saw no reason to continue down that path. He walked away from the Garden and his old life with anger, hatred, and no remorse.
Quistis was quite upset over Seifer's behavior when she arrived at Balamb Garden but she couldn't show it. She had to take her place as an instructor and keep her personal life from interfering with her work. Thoughts of Seifer filled her brain all the time. Where was he? She had heard that he had run away from Galbadia Garden and no one knew where he was. She wondered if it meant that she'd never see him again. She still loved him and thought he loved her but after two months and no word from Seifer she took it as an official ending of they're relationship. She went on as if nothing had happened and continued on with her life. No one knew how much she really did miss him.

This chapter makes it start to show how Seifer turns bad like in the game and it moves Quistis into Balamb Garden. All my characters are starting to come together.
