Someone had placed his or her hand over his mouth. Seifer looked to his left and found Quistis. She was smiling. She removed her hand and stepped forward, "Alright that's enough. Now line up nicely and calm down." She turned back round to face Seifer. "It quite easy to get these lot to shut up with out shouting."
Seifer smiled and turned back round and stepped into the elevator and press the button for the 3rd floor. Quistis steeped in after and looked at what button he pressed, "In trouble again?" she asked as the doors closed.
"Not that I know of. I just got a call from that bitch Xu this morning saying that the head wants to see me, about some new Instructor. What about you?"
Quistis looked out the lift window down at the Garden, "Here for the same. But this new Instructor is taking over mine or Rinny's job."
"Well let's hope it's Rinoa's job she take over then. We don't want you being bored now do we!" Quistis laughed. "What?"
"Nothing!" Quistis laughed even harder. "It's just what you said I fine it funny." Quistis stopped talking to calm down, she then looked to Seifer how looked angry. "It just that I do fined the job boring, I don't know why I just do. And I don't mind if this new Instructor is here to take over my job."
"Fair enough." Seifer looked down at the floor, "I forgot to ask you something last night." Quistis looked to Seifer waiting for him to continue. "I was going to ask you if you would. shit for get it, never mind!"
"Oh come on, what is it?" the doors opened, "I'm not letting you leave until you tell me."
Seifer smiled, he like it when Quistis showed her determination, and this time she was determine to fine out the truth. "Fine. I was going to ask you if you would like to. go. out with me. this Friday?" he asked never taking his eyes off the floor.
Quistis smiled, "Well you have changed Seifer. You being shy while asking a girl out on a date." She walked out the elevator with Seifer right behind her. She waved to Xu and said, "Squall said he wanted to see us!"
"Yes hang on, I'll see if he's ready."
Xu walked off and Quistis turned to find Seifer sitting on the couch. She walked over and sat next to him and smiled, "I would love to go out with you this Friday Seifer."
"What, and here's me thinking you wasn't going to answer me!" they both laughed, "So what time should I come get you?"
"When ever you like!" Seifer was slowly leaning in to kiss Quistis, when the office door flow open. Seifer turned away very quickly. "Xu!"
Xu looked very angry, "The headmaster will see you now." Seifer and Quistis got up and started to walk into the office. Xu pulled Quistis back, "I'm very sorry Quistis."
Quistis smiled, she knew what Xu was on about, "I'm not." Quistis walked in and stood next to Seifer. She saw a black haired woman sitting in front of Squall desk.
Squall stood up and looked to the new arrivals, "Quistis I'm sorry that I have to be the one to inform you that you will no longer be an Instructor." Quistis didn't move she just nodded her head.
Seifer had been standing still of so long now, well long enough for him anyway. "Why the god-dame-hell am I here?"
Quistis looked down at the floor trying to hide her laugher, Squall on the over hand was not impressed. Squall was about o speck when he heard quite laugher come from the new Instructor. Every one looked to her, "It seems that Seifer hasn't change a bit." The woman stood up and turned around, Quistis and Seifer stood in shock. "It's good to see you two again."
Quistis could have sworn she was dreaming, what with Seifer asking her out and now this. Seifer on the over hand had his mouth wide open. It was Squall turn to control his laugher. Quistis came out of her shock, "Crystal? Is that really you?"
Crystal place her hands on her hips, "In the flesh." She laughed and walked over to Quistis and hugged her. "God how have you been girl?"
Quistis laughed, "I've been fine, what about you?" Quistis looked to Seifer. "Would you close you mouth and say hello."
Seifer shock his head, "I. I just can't believe it." Crystal smiled. "We were only talking about you yesterday! And now you're here.?"
Crystal laughed, "Well all I can say is that I hope it was nice things about me!" she hugged Seifer. "Now come on Seifer tell me, how the bloody hell have you been?"
"Fine, yeah I've been great." Seifer smirked. "But tell me, why the fuck is a hot looking girl like you doing in a shit hole like Balamb Garden?"
"Well I'm here to do the Instructor job, and I wanted to see all my pixie friends!" all three laughed. "Now tell me is there anyone around this place that I should be careful of?"
Quistis looked to Seifer and shock her head , "Well there is this one guy. He's quite most of the time but you have to watch out when he talks, it means he angry."
"I'm standing right here Seifer!"
All three looked to Squall, Crystal burst into laugher. "Well tell me Seifer how has you gunblade training been going?"
"Really well. What about you, last time I knew I had beaten you in a training battle."
"Well I haven't been training recently, but now that I'm back here I think I could have some time to catch up with you Seifer."
"As much as I love to see that Seifer really does have friends, I do think you should get her to class." Said Squall. Once that was said all three left the room laughing and talking about old times.
