Irvine Kenneas woke up and looked around his dorm room in Balamb Garden. He had another dream about the night he shared with Quistis almost three months ago.

iI have to see her again..soon/i, he thought to himself as he began to get dressed.

He walked out of his dorm room and saw Rinoa and Squall walking hand in hand. Zell was giving Selphie a piggy back ride.

"Well, there you are. We thought you were going to sleep all day. No wastng a perfectly good Saturday Irvine!" Selphie said, in her usual excited voice.

Irvine gave his ex a half smile.

"So, what are we all doing today?" said Zell as Selphie slid off his back and onto the floor.

Squall and Rinoa shrugged and looked at the others and each other. Selphie hummed as she tilted her head back and tried to think. Zell looked to everyone else for answers.

"I know what I'm doing today. I'm going to Deling City." Irvine announced.

Squall turned to Irvine, his eyes widening.

"You don't intend to..."

"Yes, I'm going there to see Quistis. I promised her almost three months ago that one day I will return. And now I wiill."

Squall let go of Rinoa's and stepped in front of Irvine, glaring at him.

"Headmaster Cid..."

"Headmaster Cid destroyed a young woman who was loved by many here. You know it, I know it, and deep down he knows it! I'm not turning my back on her just because she got burned out with being an instructor."

With that, he brushed past Squall, walked though the hallway and towards the gats of Balamb Garden.
