Chapter 4: LookingSquall lay on his bed, his room was dimly lit.
She's gone... I can't believe it...all I wanted was to give her everything... she deserves a palace, but I spent all of my money on that damn ring, urgh I'm broke............
Squall sat up thinking... he knew he had to get her back, but how?
Well, I can't do it alone, I'll definitely need help.
After the defeat of Ultimacea the gang had split up and gone their separate ways:
Selphie and Irvine were working at the new Deep Sea Research, Quistis was running Edea's old orphanage and Zell was doing something in Estar.
He stood up and left the room pausing only to take in a deep breath.
The day was wet and windy as he prepared to leave later that day, he thought of how she had just gone, like that. A tear spilled down his face, and he quickly wiped it away.
Get a grip, crying won't bring her back, pull yourself together, you'll never get her back if you act like that,
he told himself.
He walked down the deserted corridor (everyone was blatantly in lessons) and he couldn't help but wonder where she had gone. He stepped out onto the wet grass and looked up to the sky, and then down to his gunblade, he would fight for her.
He caught the train to Edea's house where he knew that Quistis would be, as he got off the train, he could see children running around outside and playing, and then a figure in black stepped out and gestured for them to come inside, he couldn't help but wonder who this was, he knew that he recognised her.
As he approached the newly improved building Quistis greeted him,
"Squall, what are you doing here?" she said beaming
"I... I came to tell you something"
Quistis's smile faded as she saw how serious he was
"What is it" she asked, slightly worried.
"it's well... um... you have really done this place up" Squall said, not wanting to talk about it.
Quistis tilted her head a little and gave him a look that clearly stated 'stop lying to me and get on with it'
A girl age of about 6 ran out
"Quisty, Quisty come inside please" she said
"I can't at the moment, why don't you go and play with Matron" she said and the girl ran back in.
"Matron is here?" Squall questioned.
She must be the person in black
"Yes we decided that I could use some help so Matron stepped in" Quistis stated, "now come inside and we will talk your problems over"
They entered a small, cosy room with two squashy armchairs and a pouffe piled with newspapers and magazines, they sat down and Quistis looked at him interestedly
"She's gone," Squall said looking at his feet.
"What" Quistis said, now looking confused, and Squall explained the rest.
"Oh my, do you have any idea where she has been taken?" Quistis asked after a long and unsettling silence.
"No"
Quistis stood up and walked over to the pile of newspapers and started looking through them, Squall looked at her puzzled.
"AH-HA" she said triumphantly, "look" she pointed to a headline saying 'tougher laws for tighter security'
"The Sorceress Memorial Police are beginning to make tougher laws, they are out on a hunt for sorceresses all over the country, no one will be spared and they are more prepared and ready to go..." Quistis read, but she didn't need to say more, Squall had already stood up and had began to walk towards the door, he paused only to say
"That's where she is, I'm going"
"Not alone you won't" Quistis said and ran up towards him, "just give me a minute"
Squall stood outside, the cool breeze blowing his hair back. Quistis emerged from the building, fully dressed in her fighting gear.
"I'm ready, Matron will watch the place while I am gone... oh, and um... well, the Ragnerock is just in Estar so if we go and pick it up..."
"I know" Squall said back
As they arrived in Estar it began to rain, but they didn't care, they would have to wander around to try and find...
"ZELL" Squall said in disbelief, Zell was dressed in what seemed to be a... giant hotdog suit.
"HOTDOGS, GET YOUR HOTDO- Oh hi guys"
"What are you doing Zell" Squall asked, seeing as Quistis had fallen into a fit of the giggles.
"Oh. Well.. I work in there" he gabbed his thumb behind him to a hotdog shop.
"Harry's hot hotdogs" Quistis finally made out, still giggling
"Yeah" Zealand enthusiastically "I work here now"
"Uuuummmm... whatever, we need you help, Rinoa's kinda lost" Squall explained
"Have you checked in your closet, cos... I mean... you gotta take better care of her man" Zell said
"I didn't lose her, she got taken" Squall said, his temper rising.
"Oooooooh... well why didn't you say so" Zell said, giving Squall a pat on the back. "I'm right behind ya" and he disappeared into the shop. After a few minutes, he returned, properly dressed and raring to go.
They stopped off at the garage to pick up the Ragnerock, climbed aboard and set off for the Deep Sea Research Centre to find Selphie and Irvine.
When they arrived they could see that this old abandoned place was now clean and re-done,
"WOW" Zell said, Squall just walked in, the others followed.
They stared around silently until Irvine appeared.
"Hey guys... What are you doin' here?!" he said happily
"We have some news... um where's Selphie?" Squall asked
"oh... lil' Selph's just in the bathroom... she won't be long... SELPH... WE GOT VISITORS" Irvine shouted towards a pink door which was obviously the ladies room. A few minutes later, Selphie emerged.
"Oooohhhh hi guys... what's new?" she said, beaming. and Sqaull had to admit she did look pretty cute in a lab coat.
"We got some news" Zell said, Selphie looked from Quistis, to Zell, to Squall, and then at Irvine.
"Um... Irvy I'll go get us some tea and biscuits. Why don't you take them to the Guests Lounge" she said, not quite so bouncy.
The Guests Lounge was full of comfy chairs and sofas, the fire was lit and it was very cosy. Selphie came in with a tray of biscuits and tea, put the tray down on the table and sat down.
"So... what's up?" she asked
"Well... Rinoa's... gone, she's been taken to the sorceress memorial... again" Quistis explained.
"YEOWCH" Selphie said with a mingled look on her face.
"So will you help us get her back?" Zell asked, Squall who had been looking at his feet looked up at them. They looked at each other, and then replied...
"YES!!!!!!"
