[A/N Ooh… the plot thickens… Anyway, Seifer and Quistis are an item here okay? Hopefully, you guys understand my confusing story and explanations. =)]

"Rinoa... I love you..." He held her in his arms lovingly.

"Squall, I..." He looked at her lovely face her beautiful chocolate brown eyes... which suddenly turned a dark black.

"Rinoa..?" He said in alarm. The person said to be Rinoa faded and disappeared.

"Rinoa! Rinoa!" He ran away, not knowing where he was going. Suddenly he realized he was in the garden. And there she was.

He ran to her calling her name and she smiled but as he came to her she disappeared. He turned around and saw no one, just the garden. Slowly, the petals began to disappear as well, one by one until he was in an empty field of only soil and dirt.

"Rinoa!" Squall woke up panting. He looked around and saw not Rinoa, of course, but Ellone standing next to his bed.

He looked out the window and saw that it was just around sunrise.

"Ellone..? What's going on?" He asked her.

"Squall," She sat down on his bed. She was already dressed in her usual attire but she looked tired and nervous. "We have to act now. Now. I have a feeling something's going to happen if we don't." She said panicked.

"Sis, what are you saying?" Squall was confused, as they had agreed to wait for awhile for some sort of message from Area before attacking, but there was Ellone only 2 days after, telling Squall to do something now.

"I don't really know what I'm saying, Squall..." She shook her head. "I had a nightmare. Uncle Laguna was there when I was trapped in the laboratory of Dr. Odine, but instead of him rescuing me like he did, He just faded then disappeared into thin air. It was really scary." Ellone's voice began to shake slightly.

"It's alright, Sis... Just a dream, I think..." He reassured her.

"You had a nightmare too didn't you?" She said, surprising him. "I heard you, you were calling for Rinoa. That's why I came here." Ellone's room for sleeping and staying was right across Squall's.

He was in shock and didn't reply for a moment. "I did have a nightmare... It was Rinoa. She disappeared just like you described how Laguna disappeared."

"Squall, I just know it. Something's going to happen if we don't do anything." She said quickly.

"I'm not sure what to do, Sis... I'm really not sure..." He said softly.

"Irvine, get up! Open the door!" Selphie yelled through the door.

"...Coming, Selph..." He said sleepily.

"Irvy, meeting outside the library in half and hour! Squall called it, let's go!" She shrieked at him.

"Selph, wait... just a second..." He got dressed and ran with her to the library, worrying all the way what Squall wanted to tell them.

"Hey, sorry, we're a little late!" Selphie came to the group with Irvine running behind her.

"...Fine, Selphie." Quistis told her.

"Woah, looks bad. What is it?" Selphie asked Squall, noticing his grim face.

He finally spoke up, "...Here it is. Both me and Ellone, have had nightmares about someone we know disappearing. Me, it was... Rinoa." He paused and looked away.

"For me it was Laguna." Ellone interrupted. "We don't know why we've had these dreams but they must be connected to Area somehow."

"Are you sure they weren't just nightmares..?" Zell asked.

"I'm sure... they it was so real." She shivered.

Quistis suddenly bit her lip and and looked worried. Selphie noticed when she did.

"...Quistis?" She asked.

Quistis spoke softly, "I had one too..."
Squall immediately looked back at her, "About who?"

Quistis looked at the floor. "Seifer." She whispered. Everyone knew both she and Seifer were a couple already. "I thought it was just a nightmare or something but if you guys had one too... It must be connected to Area." She just kept looking at the ground." She paused and no one spoke so she went on. "We were just outside of the Garden, at our favorite spot. I was holding his hand and we were just walking. Suddenly I heard something behind me and turned, there was no one. When I looked back at Seifer he was fading and then suddenly he disappeared. I panicked and looked for him everywhere. But all I saw was the trees and the grass, I couldn't even escape our place."

"So, what does this mean...?" Squall asked his friends.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Selphie shrugged.

"Not possible. How likely is it that three of us have the same dream about a different person each?" Ellone said.

"It's still possible..." Selphie's voice trailed off.

"Possible but unlikely..." Irvine agreed.

"So what do we do?" Selphie asked. Everyone looked at Squall.

"I don't know. I can't think right now." Seeing and feeling Rinoa in his dream was so real that he couldn't think straight. He was missing her dearly.

He put his hand in his pocket and felt for her necklace. He held it tightly and walked away from the group. He vaguely remembered telling them he was going to his room, but his mind was so set on Rinoa that he wasn't really sure.
