Chapter 10: 10 Years Later.
The water rushed on the shores of the cape of good hope. Five children played on the beach. One was a small girl in a cowboy hat, who was chasing a small blondish-brown haired girl, whose brother was trying to shadow box as another young blonde haired boy laughed at him. A girl with dark hair pushed the laughing boy down, and they began to scuffle. Two older men pulled the children apart.
"Come on Dad! Let me teach her some respect!" said the blonde haired boy.
"That's enough Quentin Almasy" said his father.
"HE STARTED IT DAD!" shouted the dark hair girl.
"Juila Leonheart that's enough" said her father.
"BUT..." they both shouted at their fathers, who just nodded their heads no.
"...Does that mean I gotta kiss the goth and make up?" said Quentin. His father laughed stroking his goatee. Quentin had his mother eyes, but he had his fathers ego, and Siefer knew it. Seven years ago he and Quistis where blessed with the birth of his first son. Quistis said she had only seen Siefer that happy twice before: the day she said yes, and the day she said I do. Siefer looked over to Squall and his daughter, who where just glaring at them.
"....whatever" they both said. Juila was a dangerous combination. Like her mother she was outspoken and driven by her ambitions, but like her father preferred to take care of things on her own. Siefer looked her over and noticed she wore the same pendant as her father. Siefer was still shocked over Squalls new look: long hair, jacket with the sleeves rolled up with his pendant in red on the shoulders...he was still aloof though. The two men where soon joined by the other two fathers...Irvine and Zell. Zell had been commander of Balamb Garden for the last ten years...and the only thing to really change on him was he grew a beard...which Siefer said looked like a chicken wattle. He and Nini had been married for six years. Somehow during all that, he and Nini had two children: Five year old Zidane and four year old Vivi.
Out of all the men, Irvine had changed the most...not only in looks, but personality. He cut his hair which was now growing back...and wore a white cowboy hat, he gave his old black one to his daughter. How Selphie and Irvine finally got married was an odd story...it started one night eight years ago when he and Selphie where fooling around, few months later, she found out she was pregnant. That's when Irvine the womanizing gun-totting cowboy died, and Irvine the one women gun-totting cowboy was born...somehow, he just changed and they all learned a lot about Irvine from that wedding...turns out, he was a perfectionist who stressed out over every detail. He was also a good dad, devoting any spare time in his day to both his wife and his daughter Kassandra Maverick. Kassandra had her moms spunkyness and looks, but was a maninizer, copying her fathers womanizing ways...just with boys. She already smacked Zidane and Quentin on the butts a couple of times.
The wives joined there husbands on the shore soon. Rinoa, now with shoulder length hair stood next to her husband, holding there second child...his second daughter Raine. Over the past ten years, they all still remained friends...meeting every summer on this very same cope. The wives stood next to their husbands, watching there young children play. Rinoa looked over at all of them...at times she missed living at Balamb, living so far away from her friends...but then again, if Squall didn't quit, she probably wouldn't be holding their second child right now...in a way, she owed a lot to the two people who made this possible, Edea and Commader Zell. Rinoa smiled and put her head on Squalls arm watching the children play...thankful they could all be there to enjoy the peace.
