Author's note: A really short, weird but hopefully funny chapter here..

to PistGurl : Much thankies hun, and remember to review in time :) It could be that Squall's a bit wimpy, or then Seifer's just stealing the show (like that's new...)

to Firefly-Dreams : I think I'm way too far past the torturing, and who would torture him anyways? Altho we'll just have to see how it goes, maybe I can get someone to spank him or something (hey not like that!)

to Greyon Hell : Thanks, I'm still just writing Seifer how I see him. I've read too many fics where's Seifer's fluffy, wimpy etc. I hate it! He's Seifer Almasy, for Hyne's sake! It's good that you're curious, then maybe you'll follow the story till the very end..

Speaking of which, I have no idea when and how that's gonna be...

-Seifer's POV-

I'm starting to get real fed up with this whole---

"Almasy!"

The damn cocky cowboy.

"What?"

He reaches me. "Listen, I wanna talk to all of you tonight."

I frown. "'bout what?"

"It's important."

"Everybody seems to have some important to tell us these days."

He looks confused. "Huh?"

"You didn't get Cid's order?"

"Oh yeah, we're to go his chambers right away!" He looks around. "Where's Squall and Zell?"

"Coming," I say and leave.

I wonder if Cid's speech can wait until after I've showered and changed? Roos's sword did a pretty nasty damage to me and my clothes---

"Seifer."

I resist the urge to grunt. "Yes, Insctructor?"

"Where are you going?"

"To my dorm."

"No no no, didn't Zell give you the message?"

"Yeah he did. I just wanna ch---"

"It's urgent, Seifer," Quistis says. "Please come upstairs right away."

"Fine."

She nodds and leaves.

I take one longing glance towards the dorms, dreaming of a warm shower. I sigh deep and turn around to walk to the elevators. By the Infirmary I start thinking that maybe Doc Kadowaki could tie up my wounds before---

"Seifer?"

"WHAT?!" I burst as I turn around to face a short, terrified brunette.

"I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but you really should be at HeadMaster Cid's room," Xu says.

"Yes! I'm on my way!"

"Very well then," she says, glances at me a bit scared and leaves in quite a hurry.

The sight makes me chuckly lightly to myself as I make my way to the elevators. Xu's already gone up, so she won't have to curl up in a corner on the other side of the elevator.
