Chapter 10- Truth
Squall slowly walked around the unknown place he was in, the air felt kind of odd, as if he was not on earth anymore.
'I wonder what happened to the others?' Squall thought as he walked over to the nearby waterfall, taking in the smell of fresh water. Suddenly Squall saw a figure approaching him, as if on instinct Squall's hand moved over to his waist, where his sheath holding his gunblade should be hanging. Squall took a hold of his gunblade, but instead of taking his gunblade, he took a hold of a chain that was dangling from his jeans.
"Who's there?" Squall turned his attention to the direction of the sound and saw the figure moving towards him.
'Guess I'll have to fight with my bare hands' Squall thought as the figure neared, each step the figure took, Squall could make out another feature, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Squall asked as he prepared for a battle.
" Squall? Are you Squall?" Squall hesitated, but he shook it off, All the enemies he and his friends have fought so far all knew there names, so whoever this person was, it was no surprise that he or she knew his name either.
As the figure neared, Squall's fist tightened, it had been a long time since he had a fistfight, and the last time he had one was with Seifer back when he had first joined Garden.
"Squall?" Squall recognized the voice
"Rinoa, is that you?" Squall asked as he put his fist down, just as Rinoa appeared.
"Squall!!" Rinoa yelled out as she ran towards him and hugged him tightly, Squall hugged back, " I was so frightened!"
Squall brushed her hair with his hand, "It's alright, everything's fine now"
Rinoa looked up at Squall and kissed him gently on the lips, "Do you know where we are?"
Squall shook his head, "The last thing I remember was that I was shot by Jason"
Rinoa froze, "Could we be in heaven?"
Squall shrugged his shoulders and gently parted away from her, once again examining where he was
"Should we go explore?"
Squall paused for a second but quickly replied, "I guess that's the only thing we can do right now, but it could be dangerous so we need to be prepared for battle if anything happens"
"Um . . . Squall?"
Squall looked over at Rinoa, she was looking downwards towards the flowers.
"Ugh . . . I kinda lost my weapon, it just kind of disappeared when I woke up" Rinoa explained as she bent down to examine the pretty flowers on the ground
"Yeah, mine disappeared to, so we'll have to do a hand to hand combat if we come across any trouble"

Quistis sighed as she sat down, knee's by her chest under a large oak tree outside of the mansion, how could she be so stupid to fall for his trick 'No wonder I failed to be an instructor' Quistis let tears flow freely down her cheeks
"Quistis?" Quistis looked up and saw Irvine walking towards her, she quickly wipped the tears away and smiled faintly, "You alright?"
"I'm fine Irvine, I just need some fresh air that's all" Quistis replied, Irvine sat down next to her, "I'm fine, really"
Quistis could see Irvine's eyes piercing through her as if he were trying to read her mind, Quistis played with her fingers nervously.
"That's what Selphie would do when she was nervous too," Irvine said as he looked away, into the dark night sky.
Quistis looked over at Irvine, he seemed to have gotten better over the last couple of days, but Quistis could tell he was still very depressed, "I hope we'll be able to find Selphie soon"
Irvine nodded, "I care about Selphie more than you can imagine" Irvine said as images of him and Selphie came to his mind, "She was like an angel who guided me through all my dark times, she always had that cheerful little smile on and she lightened my day up so much whenever I saw her"
"Although you're apart, your heart will always be with her" Quistis said as she remembered it from the book read a couple she months ago, only changing a couple of the words
Irvine smiled, "I hope you and Seifer can get along"
Quistis froze, "What Zell told you, about the note, it was all just a stupid joke Seifer made up"
"Or was it a joke?"
"It is a joke"
"Did he tell you that it was a joke?"
"No, but if you know him well enough you can tell if it's a joke or not"
Irvine smiled, "I'm not so sure about that Quistis, a couple of days ago, before we started off on this journey, before you had your instructor license taken away and before Seifer had left the Garden due to some business, me and Selphie were walking to the Secret Area in the Training Centre after curfew" Irvine said as he looked over at Quistis, he could tell she was listening to him, "At the Secret Area, we over heard something, a conversation between Seifer and this girl"
Quistis looked over at him, "And what your trying to tell me is?"
Irvine could tell she wanted him to continue, "The girl told Seifer that she had liked him for a long time and asked her if she would go out with him" Quistis's heart sank, "Seifer just shook his head and replied, 'I already have someone I like', the girl asked him who it was but he didn't answer, but what had really caught onto mine and Selphie's ears were when the girl asked him if it was you, Instucter Trepe" Qusitis's ears perked up, "Seifer didn't reply but the girl kept on asking him over and over again, she kept on pointing out things such as how he kept on staring at you in class and how he had a light shade of red in his cheeks whenever he talked to you"
'He did that?!' Quistis thought surprised, Irvine smiled at her but she was too deep in her thoughts to notice
"Finally the conversation was over and Seifer left the Secreat Area, leaving the girl alone" Irvine explained, "So me and Selphie decided to do a little investigation, so we went over and asked the girl what she knew and she told us everything, how she had always kept an eye on Seifer and everything he did, and how she noticed he always kept an eye on you" Qusitis had a light shade of red in her cheeks, "Me and Selphie also got some information out of Rajin and Fujin . . . "
Quistis interrupted Irvine, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Me and Selphie want to see you two together" Irvine smiled, "It would be a great surprise once Selphie comes back"
'If he really did like me, why was he acting so rude?' Quistis thought, love was such a confusing game to play
"So I doubt whatever Seifer had said to you was really what he meant to say" Irvine stated as he stood up, "Give him another chance, I'm positive he'll take this chance very sincerely"
Quistis watched as Irvine walked away, she was confused, very confused. Quistis slowly got up off the floor and started walking towards the park in Deling City thinking about Seifer as she walked.
