Chapter 12
They all sat on the Ragnarok waiting patiently for Selphie to drop them off. Both the males were confused as to why Quistis needed to visit the orphanage, but both complied. This was no longer Quistis running away from Balamb. She now needed their help, despite how much she wanted to get away from it all. She stared out at the empty ocean watching the colors change from blue to green and back to blue. She sighed softly, closing her eyes and seeing the fading moon. She opened her eyes, seeing her two guardians staring at her. "Yes?"
The two shook their heads in unison. She looked from Squall to Seifer and back to Squall. She sighed softly and turned her head back to the ocean. With all this responsibility on her shoulders, she had changed. She became quieter and more concerned with the world around her. She could see the world in agonizing pain due to Rinoa's powers. She took a silent breath and stood up, prepared to leave. Selphie landed the Ragnarok and smiled. "I'll be waiting here you guys!"
The two men followed Quistis out. They were both her lapdogs now, though neither admitted to it. Quistis walked towards the orphanage and then towards the field of flowers. "Quistis?" Seifer called out. She turned to look at him, sadness filling her eyes. "You want us to wait or come with you?"
"If you could, just wait."
Quistis sat with her knees against her chest in the middle of the field. Squall and Seifer could see her and quickly rush over to her if anything was to happen, but they weren't close enough to see her tearing apart her mind. Tears flew down her cheeks as she thought about her predicament. The wind picked up, and just like in her dream, and blew backwards, sending flowers in her hair. She felt at ease at that point while watching the flowers spin around. She picked up a wildflower, staring deep into the center. A butterfly soon landed on the flower, causing Quistis to smile a sad smile. For she knew if she was to fail, the world and all its beauty would die.
Just about a hundred feet away stood Squall and Seifer. They both silently watched her, seeing her at ease with nature. Seifer finally muttered, "Didn't think I'd be a lapdog again..."
Squall nodded his head, watching her every movement. "Why do you think this happened?"
Seifer shrugged. "Maybe Rinoa snapped?"
Squall shrugged back. "I think that Rinoa was Ultimacia's ancestor. And since the future was changed, that made something in Rinoa click."
Seifer looked at Squall. "Good point." Squall looked at Seifer. "Can you believe that we're actually getting along?"
Squall half smiled. "Yea. I guess it's for the better." Seifer nodded, turning his head back towards Quistis. "You love her, don't you?"
Seifer quickly snapped his head towards Squall. "Where the hell did that come from?" Squall shrugged. "I don't know if I love her, Squall. What about you?"
Squall was looking out towards her. "Yea. I do love her." Seifer nodded. "There's just something about her."
"I know what you mean." Seifer sighed, now leaning against one of the pillars, staring at Squall. "We really need to stop fighting, don't we?" Squall nodded. "I mean, if not for us then for her, right?"
"Right." Squall looked at Seifer looking at him. "Seifer, do you really think one of us is going to die?"
Seifer turned his head to the field, seeing her stand up. "Maybe. I mean, if one of us happens to be her true love then we'll die."
Squall walked over to Seifer. "Seifer, let's make a deal. If either one of us dies, the other will be there for her."
"Deal." Seifer stuck out his hand and Squall took it. Quistis was at that point a few feet away from them.
"What's going on?" she called out.
Seifer turned his head and smirked. "Secrets."
They boarded the Ragnarok and there was silence. Selphie smiled at the three and said, "Where to next?"
"Deiling," Quistis muttered as she sat down and looked back out at the sky. Selphie nodded and smiled her usual smile.
Off they flew. Squall and Seifer sat next to each other, both as silent as Quistis. Selphie was humming a song while flying. Quistis looked over at the two guys, Seifer falling asleep and Squall looking at her. Selphie muttered out, "Um, guys?"
Squall and Quistis both looked at her and Seifer, at this point, was snoring. "What is it, Selph?" Squall asked.
"I'm seeing two flaming balls of metal flying at us at a high speed on radar. What do we do?"
Quistis stood up and walked over to the controls. "Go into submarine mode." Selphie nodded and hit the submarine mode. The shaking stirred Seifer who quickly got up. "We'll submerge once we reach Deiling."
"What's going on?" Seifer asked.
Squall turned and looked at him. "We've got some issues. I think Rinoa's trying to attack us." Seifer nodded.
They sunk under water, only to see the two balls strike the water. "She's not very smart. If you're going to send flying fire balls at us, don't you think we'd go into submarine mode?" Selphie muttered out.
"Selphie, go into aerial mode, quick!" Quistis called out. Seifer and Squall turned to look at her and then felt the shaking of the Ragnarok going into aerial mode. "Higher! Those balls are supposed to explode!"
Selphie nodded and pulled up on the steering wheel. Suddenly, two big explosions causing the waves to rise occurred. "How'd you know about that, Quisty?" Seifer asked.
"I think I'm getting special powers to detect things," Quistis responded. Seifer shrugged and sat back down.
"Let's just hope Deiling is still in one piece," Squall muttered.
