AN: Hullo all my loyal fans.  *ahem* I SAID  hullo all my LOYAL FANS!  * hears someone snoring in the backround* Grrrr… o wel *_o  anyhoo,  shout outz ta Quistis88, sice she's reviewed evry chap. So far, CharmeeBee for likin my story idea enough to use it as her own (don't nobody else get ne ideas, but read her story, it's kewl) starlightz6 for bein ma fav editor, who actually hasn't done much on this fic, cause I wont let her read it first (im so cruel) but has on my other one, and to all the other peoples who reviewed.  Ya'll r awesomes.

Seifer looked up at the towering building above him and took in the beauty that shocked him no less than the first time he had set eyes on it seven years ago.  As much as he hated what he had to do to get in their, the fact that he was finally returning to Garden made him smile slightly.  But he knew just why he had to get back in, even if it meant beaking down and actually apologizing.  He had to disarm the bomb that was going to blow in a week.  And he had no idea how.  Why do I even care?  Am I goin soft or something?  He shuddered to himself. 

                Taking a deep breath he walked up the steps to the front entrance and through the halls.  People stopped and stared, their jaws dropped in shock, when they realized who was stalking through the main halls of Garden and towards the elevator.  Seifer shot them a glare lined with daggers and they quickly whipped their heads round and went on their normal ways, if not a bit quicker than usual.  As he reached the headmasters office someone shouted after him, "Seifer!  You came back?"

                He turned around to see Quistis and Selphie running after him.  He smirked at them.  "Yea, life in the mafia was getting kinda boring.  Polite isn't really my deal.  I prefer just cutting heads off, no questions asked." 

                Selphie cringed, "That's not very nice, Seifer!"

                "Well, neither am I, messenger girl."

                Selphie growled at him but Quistis put her hand on the smaller girl's shoulder.  "Why don't you go inform the Headmaster of Seifer's arrival, Selphie?  We'll be along in a moment." 

                "Okies, but Squall's gonna be pissed."  And she skipped off.

                "Puberty boys pushin papers behind a desk?  Heh, there's something I don't think I ever would have imagined." Seifer muttered. 

                "Oh, shut up Seifer.  Squall is a very good headmaster.  Anyway, we should be getting along.  He might send the Garden Faculty after you."

                "Actually, Instructor, I was hoping we could stop by your room first.  You know, have a little fun, relieve a little stress, like before." Seifer smirked at her and gave her a wink.

                "It would be in your best interests if you never mentioned that night again.  It was strictly business and had nothing to do with my own personal feelings.  Now let's go before I change my mind on who's side I'm going to be on when we come face-to-face with a very angry lion." She hissed.

                Seifer snorted in response, "More like a monkey, if you ask me, or maybe a moogle." He muttered. 

                Seifer walked into Squall's office to see him signing form after form after form.  In fact, Seifer figured Squall was so bored with the monotonous task, that he had no idea what he was even signing.  After a few moments of standing there, waiting for squall to look up from his work, Seifer's impatience got the better of him.  "Ahem," Seifer cleared his throat loudly.  He received a hard jab in the rib cage from Quistis, but Squall looked up all the same. 

                When he realized who the tan trench coat, cropped golden hair and jade eyes belonged to, Squall blinked a few times and then almost growled.  He uttered two words.  The two words that Seifer had been hoping he wouldn't say, but fearing he might.  And boy was Seifer right.  "Get out."  Squall stated calmly. 

                Quistis just stared at her commander in shock.  She had expected him to go ballistic, throw a tantrum, threaten Seifer even.  But just to state in such a calm tone as that they might use it when conversing with friends, that shocked her.  Although, when she thought back on it later, why she had expected Squall to do something crazy was beside her.  He was still and always would have the same, cool in any situation attitude.  Quite the opposite of Seifer's.

                Seifer visibly tensed, but he took a deep breath, "Listen, Commander, I-"

                Squall cut him off, "I said, get out."  He pronounced the last words with extra articulation.   

            "but-"

                "Let me try and make this a little bit clearer for you.  You WILL leave the premises of Garden immediately, or I will be forced to call in the Garden faculty.  And since I'm so sure that you don't want that to happen, again, I hope the door hits your ass on the way out."  Squall stated, giving both Seifer and Quistis a fake smile. 

                "Squall, wait a second.  You haven't even given him a chance to explain!" Quistis protested.

                "What's there to explain?  He tried to kill us on numerous occasions, and he tried to kill Rin!" He argued.

                Quistis was pissed now, Squall was acting like a five-year-old who didn't want to leave a theme park, or even worse, he was acting like Selphie.  "Squall Leonhart!" Both men turned towards Quistis, shocked by her sudden angry outburst.  "Seifer was possessed, just like Matron, and you know it!  Your just stuck up on some stupid school boy grudge and are to stubborn to see the facts right in front of your face!  Incase you've forgotten, Matron tried to kill all of us, too!  Including Rinoa on a number of different occasions!  But we forgave her without hesitation.  I will not stand by and let you punish someone with the same terms someone else was forgivin, especially not since we grew up with him!  I suggest you reconsider your proclamation, COMMANDER!" 

                Seifer was staring in awe, and Squall looked like he had just swallowed a bite bug.  After a few minutes of complete silence in which hyne only knows was going through Squall's thought infested mind, he nodded dumbly.

                "A-alright, Seifer.  You may be permitted back t-to Garden."  Squall cleared his throat and regained a little of his composure, "But only under certain stipulations.  The first bad report I hear about you, and your out on your ass in the middle of the Balamb streets.  You must also complete the field exam, with a near perfect score, so follow the damn orders.  You needn't re-take all of the classes, of course, seeing as you passed them all with top marks last time, even if you DID skip half the classes.  Oh, and one last thing.  Seeing as having you back here might cause some bad feelings to float around, I must request that you share a dorm with a SeeD who can handle you.  I believe Miss Trepe has already signed herself up for that job." He gave Quistis a *you can't tell me what to do and get away with it* look.  "Now, if you will excuse me, I have some important business to attend to," and he ushered them out the door.               

                Now Quistis was the one in shock, and a grin was slowly spreading across Seifer's face.
