Hi! I'm back! ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own FF8. Sorry. It took me soooo long to put this up. I could have had it typed up and everything a long time ago I was just bein a lazy bum.^_^
Ages: Zell, Selphie, and Irvine: 5 gonna turn six sometime soon. Squall: six,
Quistis and Seifer: seven, Ellone: ten.
Chapter 2
Irvine blinked awake. All the other boys were gone already. He quickly got dressed and scampered to the adjoining room, the girls were all awake and off as well.
"Aw man, I always sleep to long." Irvy moaned.
He went into the kitchen. Squall, Elle, and Seifer were still eating.
"Hi!" Irvy smiled as he sat down.
"Godd morning." Elle smiled at him.
"Nice to see you awake." Matron smiled as she gave him some breakfast. "Selphie is outside already, she said to tell you she's waiting."
Irvy quickly shoveled his food in his mouth as Squall and Elle left. Seifer tried to sneak away as well.
"Seifer?" Matron said sternly. "You can't play outside today. You have to stay inside and help me." Seifer hung his head.
Irvy jumped down from the table and ran past Seifer when he went past he heard Sefer mutter.
"Stupid cry baby Zell." Matron didn't seem to hear him, luckily for Seifer.
Inside Seifer felt relived. "Man I was stupid worrying last night. All she's gonna do is make me stay in and work." He thought.
Irvy ran into the front room. The door opened.
"Irvy! There you are? Ya wanna play?" Sefie squeaked.
"Whatcha playin Sefie?"
"WAR!" Sefie grinned then scampered outside. Irvy scampered after her. Zell, Squall, Elle, and Quisty were all waiting outside.
"Are you gonna play to Irvy?" Zell asked.
Irvy nodded egerly.
"Alright then, we've gotta pick teams." Quisty instructed.
"I'm with Sis." Squall piped up.
"And I wanna be with Sefie." Irvy added.
"But I don't want to be against Sis though." Sefie complained.
"Hey! Dosen't anybody want me?" Zell wined.
"Will you guys stop being so difficult?" Quisty sighed. "It's just a game."
"Wow, you used a big word how'dyou say that again, di..def."
"Difficult." Sis said. "Now how about I be a nurse. No one can shoot the nurse, she's on both teams and she helps the hurt people. How does that sound?"
All the younger children eagerly nodded in agreement.
Quisty thought for a moment. "Yeah that sounds good. I'll be a nurse to so the teams are even. So it'll be Zell and Squall against Sefie and Irvy."
Seifer watched the other children play out the back window as he dried a dish.
"You can go out and play with them after lunch. Do you promise you're going to behave yourself?" Matron took the dry dish from Seifer and handed him another one.
"Yes, I'll behave." he answered.
Matron smiled at him. "That's my good boy. Her smile faded when she glanced out the front window. "Seifer, I'm going out for just a minute, stay inside and make sure the others stay in back." She hurried out the front door. Curious Seifer peeked out the front window. There was a strangly dressed woman staggering about in the front yard. Matron approached the woman carefully.
'She's a sorceress.' Matron thought. 'She's dying. I can't ler her pass her powers on to Quistis, Selphie or Ellone. I don't want them to have to go through that.'
The woman crawled towards Matron. Matron reached her hand out to the woman. She grabbed it. There was a great flash of light and the woman was gone. Seifer slowly backed away from the window. That was scary. Matron came inside, she had her hand to her forehead like her head hurt.
"Seifer, I'm going to go lie down. Mr. Cid will be here any minute with the supply truck. You help him unload things and then you can go out and play." She trudged to her room.
Seifer waited till her door had closed before he rushed towards the back door. He had to tell the others about this. But then the front door opened. It was Mr. Cid.
"Hey there Seifer. How're you doing?" He smiled. "Where's Edea?"
"I'm doing good." Seifer answered. "Matron isn't feeling well. She said I was supposed to help you unload."
"Alright then." Cid ruffled his hair. "Let's get to it."
Cid led Seifer out front where the truck was parked. There were crates of food and other things piled in the back.
"These bags and things are about the right size for you to carry. I'll get the bigger things later. I'm gonna go and see Edea for a minute. Those crates in the back are my fireworks I'm taking to Galbadia. I don't think I have to remind you about not to touch them."
Seifer nodded. Any time he or Squall or Zell had ever helped Mr. Cid they had all been strictly warned never to touch Mr. Cids fire works. Seifer picked up a bag of food as Mr. Cid headed into the house but as soon as the door shut behind the man he set it down again and climbed into the back of the truck. His curiosity had gotten the better of him, besides one little look wouldn't hurt right? He opened the box and looked at the little cilinders. Worried that Cid would come back he snatched one of the out, put it in his pocket, closed the box, then grabbed the bag of food and carried it into the kitchen. After he had carried several bags in Cid came downstairs.
"I think you've done enough for today. Why don't you go out and play. I'll take care of the rest."
"Thanks!" Seifer ran outside.
Squall and Irvy were fighting with sticks, Quisty and Sis were tending the 'wounded' Zell and Sefie.
"Hey you guys! You'll never belive what I saw!" Seifer called running over to them.
They all stoped at their game and looked at him. Seifer liked being the center of attention. He explained about Matron and the strange woman, adding a few details here and there. Zell, Sefie, and Irvy listend captivated. They always liked to belive Seifers wild stories. Sis listened patiently, and Quisty skeptically. Squall went off and started playing with his stick like it was a sword. He didn't care about what Seifer had to say. He knew Seifer just wanted attention. Seifer glared at Squall. How dare he ingnore Seifer?
"Hey kids, you wanna come in for some lunch?" Mr. cid yelled out the door.
"Yeah!" Zell ran for the door.
The others trotted after him, except Seifer. He grabbed onto Sefie and Irvy's arms.
"Hold on a minute, hey Quisty come here!" he called.
"What is it?" Quisty asked.
"Yeah! We wanna eat!" Irvy complained.
"Look what I've got!" Seifer pulled the firework out of his pocket.
The other three children gasped.
"Where'd you get that?" Sefie stared.
"Never mind right now." Quisty said quickly. "Seifer put that away for now, you three don't tell anybody else. We'll meet after lunch okay?"
The other three nodded and they all trooped inside.

"Now," Quisty said sitting on the bed of the girls room. "Where did you get that?"
"From Mr. Cids truck." Seifer said proudly.
"We're not supposed to touch his fireworks!" Irvy gasped wide eyed.
"Don't you guys wanna see them? Quisty you remember when we got to go to Galbabdia to see the fireworks at the parade once. Don't you want to see them again?"
Quisty sat there thoughtfully.
"We've never seen fireworks." Sefie said dreamily.
"Are you going to tell the others?" Irvy asked
"NO!" Seifer and Quisty exclaimed at once.
"We wouldn't want to get Sis in trouble, and Squall won't go anywhere without Sis and crybaby Zell would tell on us." Seifer explained.
Quisty frowned at him for calling Zell a crybaby again, "He's right. you two can't tell anybody."
"Let's sneak out tonight after all the others fall asleep. We can set them off out on the beach." Seifer said excitedly.
All three agreed. They were all excited now. Sis, Squall and Zell came back from their little walk.
"What're you guys up to?" Sis asked.
"Notin much." Seifer said casually.
