~-~-Trowa's POV ---(immediatley continued from last chappeh. in case you forgot, Trowa and Seifer were walking torwards the Dorm and Selphie, Quistis and Rinoa were following unnoticed by Tro and Seif.)---~~~-

You know what the problem with reality? A dramatic lack of background music...\

It was true. The whole place seemed to emit a soft kind of relaxing aura about it, and you could hear the faintest touches of happy classical-ish music which I immediatley recognized from the Final Fantasy 8 soundtrack as 'Balamb Garden: Ami'. It was kind of nice, all the weird scenery and stuff, but it wasn't really ANYTHING like the game. Tiny imperfections set it off and made it almost too real; a little crack in the glass, random litter in random places, lost things like backpacks/studybooks/weapons...

But it was cool. Things that you'd never, in a million years, thought you'd see happen, like a few SeeDs chasing a Grat or two young SeeD trainees having gunblade practice in the hall...which reminded me, what was I supposed to do about a weapon? I was about to ask but we turned into the hall where about at least a few million okay. exxageration. dorm rooms were lined up. Some students even had random signs or bumper stickers on their doors, and I immediatley recognized Squall's; with a purple 'WHATEVER' sticker on it.

Right about then I suddenly snapped back into reality. Or..would that be alternate-reality? Hm. Anyway, I suddenly realized that THE Seifer Almasy, THE great Sorceress' Knight was HOLDING ME and I was actually IN Final Fantasy ABOUT TO SEE SEIFER'S ROOM!! I nearly went into panic mode, as I saw Seifer's room door...there was a picture of Hyperion on the door with red letters saying "DO NOT ENTER." Something that almost looked like it could have been written by Fuujin...

Seifer stopped in front of his room and opened the door, and I saw it.

Seifer's room. Now there's something that could shock anybody back into reality/alternate reality...

Whoa. It was...tidy? I guess I expected it to be more...messy. Cut-outs from gunblade magazines as well as posters from random bands I assumed were favorites of Seifer's and really long samurai swords in cases. There was a bookcase with books in a language that was unfamiliar, and little dust-collecter-type figurines of angels, devils, people with swords/gunblades/etc...I guess it was Seifer's bed that suprised me the most. Black silk sheets...and black leather pillows? Kind of unusual, but...it made me a little bit hot. Seifer's not really REAL...stop think about THAT.....it's never gonna happen.. I almost didn't notice a large black dog totally blending in with the scenery sleeping on the bed.

I must have been standing in the doorway the entire time, because Seifer stared moving his hand up and down in front of my face.

"Hello? Gaia to Trowa? What's going on in there?"

I turned around to see Seifer behind me giving me a weird look. "Sorry." I moved aside and Seifer went in and closed the door behind him. He took off his trenchcoat and threw it on the carpeting and walked over to the bed and patted the dog on the head.

"So...what's the dog's name?" Okay, so it was a stupid question but I couldn't really think of anything better to say.

The dog got up from the bed, jumped onto the floor and walked over to me. It was about half my size, and I'm tall. Seifer picked up a long black leash that was hanging on the wall. "Masa."

"Masa?" I replied. Masa? His/her name's MASA?! Who would name a dog Masa!? What in the world is Masa? It sounds like some kind of Chinese food! MASA! Erk.

Seifer clipped the long leash on the dog's collar. "Yeah, Masa, it's short for Masamune."

Oh, duh. MasaMUNE. The sword. I bent down to Masa's height, which, was't really far to bend down. Masa kind of stared at me with huge green eyes. "You named a dog after a sword?"

Seifer shrugged. "You know about the sword? How?"

Oh, that's just great, Trowa. Now look what you got yourself into. I decided to try something to distract.

"Well, you see...." I opened the door to see if I could find a reasonnable explanation outside.

"Aah!"

Rinoa, Selphie, and Quistis (in that order) fell over on top of each other inside Seifer's room as I quickly jumped aside.

Selphie sweatdropped and tried to put on her best 'innocent puppy' eyes. "Hey, nice room Seifer! ^^p You wanna, uh, join the festival committee?"

AN:\b0 Yes yes I know this is a bad time for an cliffhanger BUT( yes there is a BUT), I almost forgot, Trowa's mom is in this story! Do you wanna see what happens to her, or Tro, or should I get them both in the same time frame? Damnit, I'm watching too much Star Trek...

Peace, love, and puppy dog eyes,
