** Authors note** I know a lot of people write about the the kids of the characters in ff8 and well I was hoping I could belong to that group of people. So far this story is not titled nor do I know where I'm going with it but I do know that it will hopefully be a good one so if any would like to help out with it or suggest a name I would be very thankful and will let you have a character in the story if you'd like =)

*****************************************************************************
What's happened so far

It had been 17 years since the defeat of Ultimecia and a lot had was new to Garden. Squall and Rinoa had settled down and produced a family of 3 children who currently attended Balamb Garden. Selphie and Irvine had also settled somewhat and had a daughter and son. Zell, well, he was still Zell yet he had a son now. As far as Instructor Trepe she to had children her son, whom was also Zell's, and her daughter by her husband. As for Seifer Almasy, he was the first to tie the knot with none other then Fujin who produced a fine strong son to pass on the Almasy name, yet he had fathered a daughter by another women.

She looked up at the front gate of what was to be her new school and felt a sudden rush of panic run through her. What the hell was she thinking when she had accepted her mothers proposal of leaving home. Good grief what did I get myself into this time? She wondered as she picked up her bag and proceeded to the entrance of Balamb Garden. She saw groups of kids all ages wondering around the facility some looked like mere children while others were older teens in SeeD uniforms. As she turned to pick up her bags she bumped into something or someone.

"Oh pardon me I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?", she asked looking up at the girl.
"It's ok you didn't see me that's all. Are you new here?"
"Yeah it's my first day here and I'm kinda nervous how about you?"
"Oh I've been here awhile my names Tiarra Kinneas," the girl stretch out her hand, " What's yours?"
The girl accepted Tiarra's hand. " My names D'meera Almasy, Dee for short."
"Nice to meet you Dee and welcome to Balamb. I'd better get going cause they're serving hotdogs for lunch and well I don't wanna miss out on getting one see ya around."

With that the girl ran off and again D'meera was left alone. She picked up her bag and headed to the directory to find out where the dorms were. As she moved to the direction of the dorms she could feel everyone's eyes on her. I wonder if dad felt this way when he came back? I wish I were at home right now, she thought to her self as she pushed a blond lock of stray hair out of her face. Then from behind she felt something hit her. She turned in the direction and saw a group of two girls and three boys snickering at her.

"what are you looking at weirdo?" one of the girls shot towards her
"Yeah what are you looking at?" another called out.
" Nothing" she answered and turned around. Again she felt something hit her, "would you please stop that what ever you are doing I don't like that."
"Why don't you come over here and make me bitch" the girl yelled back.
D'meera just turned and started to walk away when the girl pushed her to the floor.
"Ha ha hey look she won't even fight back ha ha what a wuss."
A group started to form around then as the gang started to approach Dee. One of the boys from the group walked up to her and slapped her.
"What the hell gives you the right to show up here after what your family has done?"
"I... I... don't understand what your talking about I didn't do anything,"she managed to get out.
"The hell you don't because of your old man my father can't walk and I bet because of your old man a lot of us here know family members that are sufferin from what he did. So what make you think that you can come here and show yourself as if nothing happened huh bitch?" the boy slapped her again this time drawing blood.

Great this was all she needed a fight on the first day. Then all of a sudden the boy who had hit her was thrown to the floor and the crowd had shifted to make way for the tall boy who had come to Dee's rescue. She saw the boy grab her assailant by the shirt and punch him a few times before the kid retreated to his little gang. Her rescuer then turned to the group of kids and spoke out.
" Now anyone else here wanna fuck with me!" he looked around at the group of kids who were shaking their heads, "Anyone? No? ok then the next one I see pickin on her is gonna have to answer to me you got that! Now get the fuck outta here before I beat all of ya's"
The group of kids nodded and quickly began to dispurse.
" You all right?" the tall boy managed to say while helping her up.
"Yeah I guess so."
Dee looked at the boy and was astonished to recognize his face. It was Derrick . It had been some time since she'd last seen her older brother but she was glad to know her was attending the same school she was. He smiled at her.
"Shit you've changed since I last saw you Dee. How's mom?" he asked with a grin
"She's fine. Dad's fine too" she added. When she mentioned her father she noticed Derrick looked away.
"Oh..."
"Hey I guess since you know the place you could help me find my dorm?" she asked trying to change the subject.
"Sure then we could maybe get a bite to eat"
Dee was happy to be with her brother yet she was still hurt that she never really got to get to know him as well as she'd wished she had.
