Quistis Trepe had been waiting to kick the crap out of Seifer Almasy since they had known each other in the orphanage, and eighteen years later, there had been no change in her feelings. She walked right over to him, picked his girlfriend up by the hair, and looked him right in the eye. His blonde hair was disheveled, and his eyes were heavy-lidded. But she didn't care. She let the girl go, then, and she ran away quickly. That just left the two blondes to duke it out.

"Seifer Almasy! What the hell are you doing?" she asked.

"Actually, my dear, I was enjoying myself. " he said, and smirked.

"Well, I know someone who's not. And I think you need to think about them." she said.

"And who might this be? If you're going to tell me you've had it for me all these years..." he said, but she slapped him. Hard.

"No, Seifer. I'm with Squall, remember? It's his ex and your ex and probably Zell's ex and maybe even Irvy's ex too." she said, and Seifer smirked.

"Rinoa?" he asked, and Quistis nodded. "She turned me down."

"Well, she didn't mean it!"

"That's not my fault, Trepe." he spat, and attempted to walk away from her. She stepped in his way.

"You're not going anywhere!" Quistis snapped, and Seifer stepped back to where he was.

"And why not?" he said, and looked her right in the eye. "Are you going to stop me?" he asked, then felt another gunblade pressed against his throat.

"Maybe she won't. But you know I will." Squall Leonhart said, and stepped back from the taller and older blonde, standing next to Quistis.

"Now will you listen to me?" she asked, and Seifer smirked.

"Fine. Fire away, instructor. I mean...well you're not exactly an instructor anymore are you?" he asked, and Quistis shrugged.

"Right now it's my choice. Now listen. You hurt Rinoa too. Mind control or not, you tried to kill her a few times. Then you threw her at Adel, and forced her to fight her own friends. But she loved you throughout all of that and still loves you. That's like Zell giving up his hot dog for Selphie. Except Selphie didn't care, just like you don't." she said, and Seifer held up a finger.

"No, I do care. She doesn't care. I was under mind control, but what's her excuse? As soon as she thinks I'm dead, she hops over to puberty-boy. Then, he gets sick of her, and she comes crawling back? Isn't that funny, Trepe?" he asked, and she shook her head.

"What happened between you and Rinoa is between you and Rinoa." Squall said. "And frankly, I don't care if you were under mind control or not. If she tried to kill you, how would you feel?"

"To hell with this." Seifer snapped, sapphire eyes full of hatred. He turned and walked away as Squall reached out to grab him. Quistis held him back.

"You're first sentence was the best thing I've heard all night. We have to let them find each other, and stop meddling." she said, and Squall smiled.

"You got the hint." he said, and pulled her close.

"Sure did." she said, and smiled as he kissed her.

Seifer just walked away disgusted. He couldn't believe it that Instructor and Mr. Leader had jumped to Rinoa's defense like that. She had to be hurt...badly. Maybe he should talk to her. But if he did, he wouldn't be Seifer Almasy anymore, he'd just be another sorceress's lapdog. Anyone he saw on the street still called him that, even though it had been established that it was mind control. Nobody cared. Everyone had called him that at one point in time. Even the posse. Everyone but...Rinoa. But that was probably because she was a sorceress herself.

He couldn't help but wonder where she was, and took off in an attempt to find her, worry evident in his sharp features. If she was hurt he'd never be able to forgive himself. Not as long as he lived.
