Hello once more. I am here to inform every one out there that I Excalibur do not own these characters or places except for Terra, she is mine, and the Inn it is mine as well. I own nothing about Final Fantasy VIII and if you think so I pity you for being so stupid. I also do not own any of the songs that the people sing. Ok? Ok. Some one else wrote a story where Seifer falls for a girl named Terra too I've heard, well this story isn't a sequel or anything, I haven't read that story and I'm sorry if any one thinks that I am copying. This is my first story on fan fic. ^__^ Happy reading.

The Inn
Terrace ran quickly back to her ridding box to gather her bag and weapon, still wrapped in the dark cloth. Stepping back into the jostling crowd in the corridor, she allowed herself to be swept outside by the tide if people getting off in Balamb.

In minutes the platform was empty except for an elderly man and his wife, herself and Seifer. She watched from the shadows as he picked up his bag, easily swinging it over his shoulder and start walking away.

As he was walking away something under his trench coat caught the light and flashed. Terra looked harder trying to make out what it was. A gunblade? Hmmm.

She followed catching up quickly and flashing him a smile, he didn't seem all that surprised at seeing her. "I never said thanks for earlier so, thank you."

He shrugged, "You're welcome." Was the quiet reply.

"You going to the inn?" She asked again trying to nudge him into a conversation.

"Yes, I guess that is where I'm going. Are you going there too?" He glanced down at her nod and kept up his pace. His long legs eating the ground under him with Terra matching his pace with her equally long legs they made their way quickly down the dark streets.

Soon they found them selves out side of an inn with the name 'Santier D'Alon' or 'Warrior's Sanctuary' in the modern language, and a picture of a man sitting by a pond and a loaded bow lying on the grass behind him.

Terra put hand on his arm to stop him and in a quiet voice said, "When you go in, it is probably best that you don't tell them your last name because they're sort of pissed about the whole Ultimisia thing." With that she turned and walked into the door and the sounds of people came through to him.

She knows and acts as if nothing had happened? Interesting woman. The shocked thought came to him as he followed her into the inn full of people and noise.

Seifer walked into the inn and looked around until he spotted Terra talking to a short, stout old man with just a wisp of hair still left on his head. The old man took his glasses off and cleaned them on the apron he was wearing and replaced them back on his face and looked Seifer over as he stopped behind Terra.

The old man's beady eyes darted back and forth to Terra then Seifer and back again. A large smile covered his face as he proudly said, "I see you've found a boyfriend!"

Seifer's face dropped in shock as Terra stood there laughing hysterically. "I only met her like a half an hour ago!" Seifer stated.

"Well then don't you think it is a little rushed?" The other man's reply made Terra laugh harder.

"I just met him on the train and we were both coming here so we walked together." Terra said after she had gotten her laughter under control. "Seifer this is Dai, he owns the inn. Dai this is Seifer." They sort of nodded to each other and that was the extent of their hello.

Dai was called away by another customer after pouring them drinks. "So how come you know who I am but aren't going to tell anyone?" Seifer asked softly.

"Uhnino." Came the quiet reply. "You see, they'd either try to rip you to pieces and/or run away screaming and everyone would be mad at me. And you'd have to leave." She ended quietly looking away.

Before he could question her answer people throughout the common room began to notice Terra and yell to her.

"Terra!" "Come and sing!" "Give us a song Terra!" The shouts continued until she got up excusing herself from Seifer and walking over to the stage and stepped up onto it.

"OK, OK. If everyone is quiet I will. What song?" There were shouts from all around the room, then from the back of the room some woman started shouting 'Man, I feel like a woman' by Shania Twain. All of the women in the building started shouting that.

Still smiling Terra muttered something darkly about Country Music, under her breath. Then the music started playing so she started singing. After that song she also sang 'Unbreak my Heart' by Toni Braxton and 'Losing Grip' by Avril Lavigne.

She stood on the stage smiling for a second, and then she got an idea. "Wait a second." She jumped down from the stage and ran over to where Seifer was sitting. "Do you know the song 'Control' by Puddle of Mudd?"

"Yah. Why?" He was looking at her suspiciously.

"OK, come with me." She grabbed his arm and dragged him up onto the stage. "OK, now my friend here is going to sing the song 'Control' by Puddle of Mudd." Everyone started clapping and he was on stage alone.

OK, I'll show them how well I sing. Trademark smirk and sing.

The inn was silent except for the sound of the music and Seifer's voice. Just as I thought. His voice matches the lead singer's. But I didn't think he'd be that good. Terra thought as she watched Seifer sing on the stage in front of her.

When the song was finished Seifer walked over to where Terra stood with Dai. "I'd like to see my room now. Please." He added belatedly. He watched Dai turn around and walk away with a frown. What's his problem? Seifer though to himself.

"Ummm, yah. I'll show you your room now." She led him down the dim halls to room 9. He went in and quickly changed and was asleep as soon as he got in bed.
