Squall ran through the Training center, making his way toward the secret area. barely anyone was there during the day, but Squall found a junior classman crying in the corner. Squall sat down next to her.

She looked no more than ten, her eyes red from crying. "You new?" Squall asks her.

"Yeah, and everyone picks on me because of it."

"Everyone picks on me too."

"Really? I don't believe you, you're just saying that to make me feel better." Even though see was new to Balamb she knew that the man sitting next to her was the commander.

"Yeah, just a minute ago my friend pushed me down the stairs for no reason!" Squall pouted.

"Well, if everyone picks on you, and everyone picks on me, do you think we can be friends?" She may be little, but she wasn't dumb. 'If the commander was my friend no one would pick on me!' she thought to herself.

"Sure."

They followed Squall to the training center. Rinoa stood blocking the entrance while everyone else stood in attention.

"Now we go on to plan B: BASEBALL" Rinoa held up five baseball bats and passed them out. "Remember, go for the head."

"Yes Ma'm!" They said in unison then ran into the training center to find Squall walking out with a junior classman.

The junior classman saw the charge of crazy SeeDs and jumped out of the way. The five drew closer to Squall, holding their bats ready. Squall gave then a nervous smile and turned to run, but he wasn't quick enough. Zell grabbed him by the collar. The rest moved in for the kill.

One after another they beat Squall senseless with their baseball bats. The girl quickly ran to get Dr. Kadowaki, knowing that she, being very small, wouldn't have been able to help. "He wasn't lying when he said people were picking on him..."

"Enough!" Rinoa called out. Everyone backed away from the unconscious Squall.

"What now?" Irvine asked.

"We have to wait till he wakes up..." Selphie sat down. Dr. Kadowaki burst in with the junior classmen behind her.

"What did you do?" She shouted at them angrily staring at Squall's unmoving form.

"Don't worry Doctor, we have everything under control." Rinoa said with confidence. Irvine and Zell picked up Squall by his arms and dragged him to his dorm. Quistis took Dr. Kadowaki aside and explained the situation to her.

The junior classman went back to the secret area to finish crying.
