Author's Note: The last chapter about the SeeD exam, personally didn't excited me as much. I didn't like it kind of. I mean I had a good idea but I couldn't find the right words to fit it. Everything was just playing in my mind too fast and I just wanted to get that chapter over it (Because I have more ideas ahead). So yup, as always please read and review. It does really help!! Thanks! Enjoy!

Chapter 6
"Students who had taken the SeeD exam yesterday, please report to the 2nd floor at 10 hundred hours. I repeat, students who had taken the SeeD exam yesterday, please report to the 2nd floor at 10 hundred hours. Thank you! Have a nice day." The announcements then turned off and Laurette sighed. She has been very tired and have had a restless sleep last night. She sat there writing a new song on her new found experience yesterday. So many emotions ran through her. She strummed her acoustic guitar, and let her fingers play trying to find the right melody for yesterday. She stopped from time to time to write down the notes she thought was perfect. She would test play some tune that ran through her mind. Garland then stepped out of her dorm room and smiled. "Hey…" she said with a yawn. "I know just you mean by that…" Laurette said referring to the yawn Garland let out. "I'm so tired…so what chya go so far?" Garland asked looking at the guitar tabs on the table. "Looks good, play it please?" She asked. "Fine…" Laurette sighed and started to play her guitar. The melody was so beautiful. It was rough enough for a rock piece, yet so soft for a classical piece. "Wow…that's…wow!" Garland couldn't said a thing when Laurette was done. "Eh, not really…" Laurette put down her guitar. "Oh come on, it's great!! I dunno where you're getting it from but it sounds great!!" Garland smiled. "I dunno where I'm getting it from either…" She sighed. "Well, I'll bring out my drum set later if you want, and we could at the drum part to it, and then add words." Garland suggested. "Yea alright." She said and rubbed her eyes. The two looked at the clock. "We gotta head to the 2nd floor now." Yawned Garland. "Yea I know." Laurette said and got up. They then walked out of the area and to the 2nd floor.
All of the students were there. Some where walking around nervously, some were tired, and some were just normal. Laurette and Garland was greeted by some passing by student. Laurette just nodded as Garland gave a big hello. The students waited and waited for what seemed like ever before one of the SeeD sent by the headmaster and commander down to get the passing students. The SeeD stood there in his uniform, holding a piece of paper in his hands. "The fallowing students are to report to the headmaster's office after I call their names…" He gave the instructions. The students listened for their names as he began to open his mouth to read. "Jules Dintch, Rosemarie Almasy, Iven Kinneas, Garland Kinneas, Arnoux Jomei, Aleron Almasy, and Laurette Heratilly Leonheart." He said. The 7 students saluted the SeeD and went up the elevator with him.
They entered the 3rd floor, and walked through the double doors in a straight line. They got in and stood beside each other standing at attention. Headmaster Cid then appeared from behind his desk along with Commander Leonheart. The 7 then saluted at them and stood back at attention. "You 7 are summoned here today, because you've put all your training into yesterday's exam. As commander of SeeD, I am proud to welcome you to the team." Squall said looking at each and everyone of them in the eyes. "Yes, you all have done very well through this exam proving yourself worthy of becoming SeeD. Now, we'll be giving you your score and rank." Headmaster Cid said then walked up to each of them handing them a rolled out scroll, whispering something in their ears as he went by. He got to Laurette who was at the end of the line. He shook her head and gave her, her scroll and whispered in her ear. "You did well, you should have been leader of your team. Daughter like father…" He chuckled. She just smiled at him and nodded. She glanced behind him to see her father smile. Cid then walked back to his spot next to Squall. "Welcome to the team of SeeD." Cid said and smiled. "You are dismissed." Squall then said.
The 7 of them looked ate each other. Jules jumped into the air and ran out the doors, fallowed by Garland. Iven smiled stupidly at Rosemaire as she did the same. Laurette looked at all of her friends then felt an arm around her. "Heh heh…we did it." Aleron smirk. "Aaa…" Laurette then knocked his hand off and looked up to find Arnoux staring. She blushed a bit and walked out the door. "Hey what was that for babe?" Aleron smirked again and rushed off to her. "I'm not your babe…" Laurette said doing her best to keep her distance between her and Aleron. "Laurette…look at me." He then grabbed her arm as she was about to reach the elevator. The rest was already going down. She turned around to look at him. His face was now serious and he didn't seem to want to play around. "Will you go out with me?" He asked her now smiling stupidly. "What?! I never knew he liked me!! That's just kinda gross…kinda…" She thought. Even though he was consider as one of the most handsome pretty boys at the Garden, she wasn't really up to dating him. She then looked directly up at his eyes and shook her head. "Sorry Aleron…I wasn't expecting that…" She told him still looking at him in the eyes. She wanted to tell him no, so that he understands. "Laurette…please?" He pledged holding on tighter to her arm. "Let go of me!" She shouted when she felt his grip. She then got out of his grip and started to run toward the elevator. He then caught on to her arm again, and held on tight. "Laurette! I've liked you for so long!! I want to tell you now!! And you're blowing me off like this?! How could you?!" He shouted at her. "Well look at what you're doing!!" She shouted back struggling to get out of his grip. "What's up with you?!!" She asked. "Nothing, just totally in-love with you." Then just before he could lean in and kiss her, Arnoux seeing this pushed him off her. "What are you doing man chill!! She doesn't want to go out with you!!" Arnoux shouted at him. "Hey pretty-boy shut up!! She's my girl, and I can do whatever I want." Aleron got up and walked up to Laurette again. "I'm not you're girl!! I thought we were friends!!" She said walking up in front of Arnoux. Aleron then glared at Arnoux. "You did this!!" He shouted and punched Arnoux, but before he could have, Arnoux blocked his attack and flipped him in the air causing him to fall on to the floor. Aleron rubbed his head and glared at Arnoux. "Why!!?? You son of a bitch!!" Aleron then got up and ran at Arnoux with his gunblade. Arnoux then quickly toss one of his daggers at Aleron's shoe tripping him. The headmaster and commander then rushed out to see what all the commotion was all about. They saw Aleron getting up from the floor pined down by one Arnoux's daggers.
"What is the meaning of this?!" the headmaster demanded. "He tried to kill me!!" Aleron lied. "Huh? No!!" Arnoux said. "He's right Headmaster." Laurette said quickly. "Explain." Her father said looking at her. "Yes sir. Well when we got out of the office, Aleron…well he asked me out. I say no, but he kept on asking me. He then pinned me and tired to kiss me…Arnoux just came into my aid and helped me cool him down that's all…" Laurette said feeling a bit of guilt rushing up and down her spine. She has known Aleron ever since the day she was born, but seeing his actions just now totally lost all that she thought of him. "Is that so?" Squall asked looking at the two boys. "Yes sir." Arnoux said, but Aleron refused to answer the question. He knew what he did, but he was scared. "Well then. Aleron, you'll get work from the discipline committee…" Headmaster Cid said. "But I am apart of the discipline committee. " Aleron said with a smirk. "Well then. I'll lower your SeeD rank back down to one, and also you'll be hold off from any missions for 2 months. You'll spend that time watching the young students here at the garden, and helping your instructor, Xu out for a while. Do you understand?" Headmaster Cid asked. "Yes sir…" Aleron said just to get it over with. He could have cared less. "Alright. You guys are dismissed." The headmaster saluted the 3 and started to walk down. Aleron rushed to the elevator and went down before Arnoux and Laurette could have gotten in. He flipped the two off before he went down.
Laurette looked up at Arnoux who was looking at her. "Thank you…" She said. "You're welcome, he was a jerk anyways….oh no offence or anything…" Arnoux gave her a smile rubbing his head. She giggled. "Don't worry about it….I've just never seen this side of him." She said as they got into the elevator. Arnoux just nodded but gave no comments. Then there was silence "So…congratulation today." He said breaking the silence between them. "Yea thank you…thank you for everything today…" She smiled at him. He nodded. "Oh! Congrats too…" She then added on with a smile. "Thanks." He said as the they heard the little ding and exited on to the 2nd floor. The gang was waiting for her and him to come down so they could go back to the classroom and give a small speech or something like that. As soon as they walked into the hall, an explosion of cheers, and clapping was heard. Jules rubbed his head and blushed. Garland giggled. Iven tipped his cowboy hat at all the ladies who almost fainted. Rosemarie stood there with her face tall and high, can't believe that she passed. The 6 of them then went back to their classes and did whatever they had to do knowing that tonight was the grand SeeD party.
