I want to thank my reviewers, it means a lot to me. And this
chapter is dedicated to Dinchtbaby for being a friend and mostly
for inspiring me to write this fic. So this is for you I can't
thank you enough.
Oh yeah and I don't own anything FF related except my art and
the ideas in this fic. Anything else is just a dream.
Chapter 2
The next morning Zell woke up at his usual time, he showered and dressed quickly and then headed to the cafeteria where the others would most likely be waiting for him. Selphie sat next to Quistis and on the other side sat Fujin. Selphie and Quistis whispered to each other and giggled every now and then while Squall and Rinoa enjoyed their breakfast. Irvine had just sat down when Quistis started to talk to Squall and making sure everyone heard her.
"So Squall, what did you tell Cid to get class hours started an hour later? It's been driving me nuts for weeks now." She asked.
Squall let out a faint smile. ".I told him the truth.about what happened a few weeks ago and of what I thought about all of you."(A.N. See Clash Of The Fates, Chapter 10 paragraph 2 to find out what he said:D) Quistis began to smile; her eyes were filling with tears, as she knew what he must have said. Although it looked as though everyone else was in the dark. Rinoa couldn't stop giggling since she already knew what he told Cid.
Fujin was sitting there silent as ever waiting for Zell to arrive, she didn't quite feel comfortable with these people without Zell there. She looked down at her right hand wishing to see his there. The she heard some one say her name. So she looked up.
"Um.sorry.what?" She said while looking to see who was addressing her. It was Selphie, and surprisingly enough she wasn't being loud.
'Hey, you ok?" Selphie said in a sympathetic tone. Fujin nodded her head. Then Selphie moved in closer to Fujin as if she were telling her a secret.
"You look good today." She said warmly.
Fujin wasn't yet use to getting compliments from people just yet so she just smiled back as her way of saying thank you while trying to hide her blushing face. She almost jumped out of her seat when she realized Zell had snuck in and was already sitting next to her eating his hot dogs with one hand, and holding her hand with his other. * Oh jeez, I hate it when he does that. I swear he must have been a cat in another life time.* She thought to herself. But really she couldn't be happier to have him with her.
When he was done eating his breakfast Zell kept looking at Selphie throughout the rest of time the group spent before classes started. * Could that dream have been real? Or should I start cutting down on the hotdogs before bed? Either way I think I think I should go talk to Cid. *
Once Zell heard the bell he was snapped out of his train of thought. Everyone got up and said they're goodbyes and then headed off to what they had to do. Zell wasn't so sure of himself as a teacher but everyone assured him that his field combat class was one of the most popular and fun classes Garden had. So he figured once he was done he would see if he could maybe talk to Cid and Matron about his past.
It was 5:00pm when he was finally done with his class and on the paper work he had to do. He made his way towards the elevator and stepped in. For some reason he always expected the elevator to go strait to the floor he wanted so he was a little off center when it stopped on the second floor. The doors slid open and Rinoa walked in. He didn't know what exactly she and Squall had but whenever he saw her she always had this glow around her.
"Hey Rin, how's everything going?" He asked her.
"Oh just fine Zell, how did you class go today?"
"Not too well, I think I may have to fail a few students."
Rinoa gave him a hurt look. "Awe, why?"
Zell just raised an eyebrow to her. "Why? because they don't pay attention, they almost always get hurt and on top of that they think they know everything. Oh yeah and they cheat whenever I spare with one of them."
Rinoa nodded her head in agreement to what he was saying when the elevator's bell went off letting the two know they had reached the third floor. Both Zell and Rinoa stepped off and headed to Cid's office when Rinoa stopped to talk to Zell some more.
"So what are you coming up here for?" She asked with a smile.
Zell let out a small sigh, "I have some questions I want to ask Cid, what about you?"
"I just came to get Squall, Selphie is nice and all but she's tiring me out and I just want to finish the day relaxing with Squall. That's all, plus I think he's been in there too long as it is. It can't be good for him. He needs to get out and get a little sun. He's starting to look like a ghost." She said giggling.
Zell almost started to laugh. When he remember why he was standing in front of Cid's office. He was about to knock on the door when he stopped himself and turned to Rinoa again.
"Hey Rin, you've spent a lot of time with Selphie right?"
Rinoa nodded her head, "Yup I know her pretty well, besides it's hard not to. She likes to talk a lot."
"Has she ever mentioned where she was from, I mean aside from Galbadia? Did she ever say anything about her parents or if she remembers anything from before the orphanage?" He asked rather seriously.
Rinoa bit her bottom lip and looked up as she thought. "Hm..nope, I can't say that I've ever heard her talk about that sort of thing. But then again on account of the GF's we've been using I don't know if she would even remember that. Why do you ask?" She replied.
Zell just nodded his head. "No reason I was just wondering." And with that he finally knocked on the door, they were let in and Rinoa took Squall by the arm and almost dragged him out of the office while Zell stood there.
"Yes Zell, what can I do for you?" Cid asked while standing up to greet the young SeeD.
"Um.hello sir, I was just wondering if I could maybe ask you a few questions. If that's alright with you sir." Zell said nervously.
"Now, now my dear boy. You and I go way back. There's no need for you to call me sir. You can address be as Cid."
Zell swallowed hard. "Thank you sir..er. I mean Cid. Um. I was wondering, do you remember anything about where I came from or by chance know how it came to be that I ended up at your Orphanage?"
Cid looked at him, almost studying his form. "May I ask why?"
Zell looked down at the floor trying to think. "I've been having these dreams you see, I don't know what they mean but they bring up some questions that I can't answer for my self. It would mean the world to me if you could help fill in the blanks ya'know."
Cid stroked his chin, obviously he was in deep thought and then went to his desk. He pushed a button and soon Matron stepped into the office. "Ah my dear wife. Zell I don't exactly remember but if there's anyone in this world that would it's her. So go ahead my boy, ask her."
Zell approached her and felt welcomed by her motherly voice. "Hello Zell, you always were a little shy around me, especially when you needed something." She said with a smile.
Zell nervously scratched the back of his head. "I uh.was just wondering if you remembered how I got to the orphanage, and if I came with someone else?"
He could see Matron think to herself and then she looked up at him and smiled. "Yes, yes I do Zell. I believe it was during the summer, both you and Selphie were brought to the orphanage on the same day by a woman who worked for social services. I remember you and her being quite inseparable for quite some time always sitting down by the beach watching the sun set. But I'm afraid I don't remember anything else. Was that of any help."
Zell's eyes were lit up, "Yes, thank you very much Matron, do you remember the city where the social services main office was?"
Matron looked up, yes I think it was the in Galbadia."
Zell swung his fist in the air and headed out of the room saying his goodbyes as he flew past the doors. * I gotta find Selphie and tell her about this, and I guess I should look up Galbadia's city records and see if I can't figure this out. I can't believe what I just heard, Selphie's going to freak. *
