Disclaimer: Final Fantasy VIII belongs to Square. If I owned Final Fantasy, I wouldn't even BE HERE WRITING FANFICS ABOUT IT!!! Get it??? FANfics?

Author's note: I just suddenly realized that I haven't gotten past disc two! I don't know what happens! How am I supposed to write if I don't know what happens?!?!? And I can't write a 100-chappie story so somewhere along the line, Trowa's Mom has to get OUT of the video game! What in Hyne's name am I supposed to do? Oh, I know! This can just be an aftergame story!! No, before game! Yeah! Let's just all pretend that the whoooole thing never happened! Yup! Never! XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darkness...so much darkness.....where am I? Footsteps...

Trowa's Mom slowly opened her eyes and saw a girl in yellow standing next to a swirling mass of purple light. She walked over to her, wondering silently about the light.

"Where....am I?"

The girl turned around at looked at Trowa's mom. She smiled at her cheerfully. "This is Balamb Garden! I'm Selphie. You must be new here. I'll show you around. Hold on a sec..."

Selphie looked at the purple light mass and held her arms out toward it. "Draw! Cure!"

Trowa's Mom looked at Selphie. Then the light mass, which was now a white- bluish color. Then she looked at Selphie again. Then the light mass. She suddenly felt very, very faint...

*drop* *thump*

Selphie leaned over Trowa's Mom, who had fainted. "What did I do?"

~ five minutes later ~

"DOCTOR KADOWAKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Selphie raced to the infirmary, and skidded to a stop near a desk. She lost her balance and fell over onto the desk, knocking over a can of pens, a clipboard, a first aid kit and a condensed copy of the SeeD test.

"What is it, Selphie?" Dr. Kadowaki turned around from the first patient bed.

"There was a lady near the exit and she asked me where she was and I said she was at Balamb Garden and said I'd show her around cos I thought she was new but I said to wait a second because I wanted to draw Cure first and then she fainted and I swear I didn't do anything!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Okay. Calm down. Where is she?"

Selphie leaned over and put her hands on her hips, panting. She lifted one arm up and pointed to outside of the Infirmary. Dr. Kadowaki went in that direction and Selphie followed.

" *groan* I'm coming too..." said a voice from the first patient's room.

Dr. Kadowaki turned around and looked back at the Infirmary. "No, Seifer. You stay there."

Seifer mumbled something illegible and leaned back into bed, holding his bandaged head.

Dr. Kadowaki ran down the hallway toward the direction where Selphie pointed to. A woman dressed in jeans and a purple turtleneck was leaning against a wall, rubbing her head and silently whispering something to herself.

This is not happening...this is a dream, a dream....a stupid dream...

"Miss? Are you okay?" Dr. Kadowaki peered into Trowa's Mom's face.

Trowa's Mom looked up at the doctor. She wasn't quite sure this was a dream, if it was, it was most certainly a too-real one.

"Hello? Miss?"

"How...did I get here? Is this a dream?"

"A dream? She thinks it's a dream...she must be dillusional..."

"You know what? I don't care how I got here! Someone just get me a COLD glass of water!"

Selphie ran over to a drinking fountain and got a large glass. She filled it up and brought it to Trowa's Mom.

"*chug chug chug chug chug*

Dr. Kadowaki watched with amazement as Trowa's Mom drank the entire glass of water. "So...what's the last thing you remember?"

Trowa's Mom looked around. "Well, I was calling my daughter Trowa down for dinner. She didn't come, so I went up to get her and...there was a blue light...........that's all I remember."

"Were you drinking any alcohol?"

Trowa's Mom glared at Dr. Kadowaki. "NO! I'm not drunk!"

"...Selphie, why don't you just show her around a little bit? I have to get back to the infirmary before Seifer runs off again..." Dr. Kadowaki walked back to the Infirmary.

"Waaaaaaaaaaait a minute! Seifer? Seifer...Almasy?"

Selphie looked at Trowa's Mom. "Yeah, Seifer Almasy. He got another scar from training with Squall. What idiots those two are...now Seifer's got and X-shaped scar. How did you know his last name anyway?"

Trowa's Mom sweatdropped. "My daughter loves him! She thinks he hot and - oh my...I think I said too much...this is too weird.."

Selphie giggled. "I bet Seifer would be happy he has fans! ^.^;; What's so weird?"

Trowa's Mom looked around to make sure no one was watching. "*whisper* *whisper* She thinks's he's a video game character!"

Selphie giggled some more. "Yeah. Like anyone would actually make a video game with Seifer in it!! By the way, what's your name? Or should I just call you 'Trowa's Mom'?"

Trowa's Mom thought and thought some more. She decided to just use her nickname, just in case. "Angela..."

Selphie giggled even more. "It took you four minutes to think of your name? Aaah, who cares? Let's gooooo on our Balamb tour!!" Selphie grabbed 'Angela's arm and stared dragging her torward the Cafeteria....
