Chapter 1: SeeD Exam and Cynicism! Part 1!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except Tempest Leonhart, Fritz Leonhart, Griffin Almasy, Maverick Almasy, Destiny Kinneas, Jackal Kinneas, Pepper Dincht, and Rex Dincht. (I did some revising, and some of the characters have been booted out. Griffin is Banner's new name.) Also, whatever's in these thingies: are the character's thoughts.
"Rage. Fury. Irritation. Humiliation. How am I gonna survive this?" Tempest Leonhart said in her gravelly, monotone voice that was then expressing sheer disgust. She really hated the girl's SeeD candidate uniform. "Mom, isn't this just a tad chauvinistic? I mean, short skirts? In SeeD? Can't I just wear the boy's uniform? You know that I'd be much more comfortable in that."
"I always thought that, too, but there's nothing we can do about it. You could wear your regular clothes, but that would dock off points on your total score." Rinoa said in agreement with her daughter.
"I really couldn't care less if I get a few points docked off, I'm not wearing this. I feel like a slut." Tempest decided, going into the rest room and changing into her usual long, semi-formfitting army style black and blue pants and black tank top with a bright sky blue strip across the chest along with her ankle-length leather jacket with a silver winged lion on the back. "There. Now I feel better." Tempest said, waving goodbye to her mother and leaving the room.
~*~Later, near the Directory . . .~*~
I can't believe my Instructor put me in Squad B! This is to paradoxical . . . even for me. Tempest thought in a rage. We're all different people. Why do we need labels? Just because I'm a Leonhart, doesn't mean that I'm going to save the world. I just want people to notice to who I am instead of who my parents are; it sucks! She got to the Directory where her Instructor, Li Caine, stood waiting for her. He was a grim and very strict Instructor.
"Let me guess, I'm being paired with a Dincht and an Almasy. After all, that's the way my parents started out." Tempest growled, angrily sarcastic.
"Look, the people in each Squad were picked randomly. You're with Destiny Kinneas and Pepper Dincht." Instructor Caine said in his usual grim voice.
"Hey! Hey!" Destiny called, running down the hall. She was in the SeeD candidate uniform and it didn't seem to bother her. She liked skirts anyway. She finally got to the Directory, panting and caught her breath. "Sorry I'm late; I was working with the Garden Festival Committee with my mom, and there were this really cute boys there. I lost track of time."
"Yes, yes Miss Kinneas. I trust you won't be late on the battlefield?" Caine said curtly. (A/N: 'Curt' is my vocabulary word! ^_^)
"No way, sir!" The bouncy girl said.
"Good. Now, where is the other girl?"
"Right here!" Pepper Dincht came sprinting around the corner. She too, was in the candidate uniform, and finally got up to the directory. "Sorry. It was the morning hotdog rush. Gotta get them while they're hot, and I'm addicted!"
"Well, can I trust you won't be late in the field of battle either, Miss Dincht?"
"You can count on me! I'd be there before you can say 'Salute the commander and drink your soda, soldier!'" The eccentric redhead nodded. She was very odd and always said weird things that popped into her mind. That was the way Pepper always had been.
"I . . . see." Caine said, confused.
"Can we get on with this?" Tempest asked.
"Yes. The Squad Captain will be, despite my objections, Tempest Julia Leonhart."
He has got to be kidding me! Why do I have to be captain? This is not fair! I never get a say!
"What?!" Pepper and Destiny both said in unison.
