Cid: I'll just call him to report to you personally. Is that ok with you Caraway?

Caraway: Just ask him to go to the camp. I will let him and Seifer face to a duel. If he wins, he's in; otherwise ….I'll be putting Seifer to that position.

Cid: (nods) So be it. What time?

Caraway: 20:00 hours sharp. If he's late, that's it for him.

Deling City's Military Camp SeeDs Quarters

Zell: Wow this place is awesome!

Nida: Now that you're our mate, you're going to share the same quarters with us Alphas!

Zell: Oh I see cool.

Nida: (Noticing the "trio" ) here they go again, what is it this time?

Zell: What the? (Stepping backwards)

Raijin and Irvine: (singing, though out of tune) Forrrrr he's a jolly-good fellow, for he's a jolly-good fellow, for he's a jolly-good fellowwwwwwwwwww………..

Irvine: Err what's next with that line?

Seifer: (singing) That nobody can't deny, that nobody can't deny! (shouting) I'M GOING TO BE THE COMMANDER!!!!!!! YEAHHHHH!!!

Nida: What's gotten into you Almasy?

Raijin: Oopss correction! Commander Almasy! Ya know!

Irvine: Not to mention that he's also the leader of Alpha team!

Zell and Nida: Commander?

Seifer: Yes you're now talking to Commander Seifer Almasy har har har!

Nida: Please tell me you're just kidding Seifer.

Raijin: Since when did he tell jokes ya know.

Irvine: Nida, you know our dear General got his hopes for this fellow. No doubt General Caraway called him a while ago, saying that he's going to be the next commander.

Zell: Oh that's bad news

Seifer: Ha ha ha ha ha! YEAHHHHH!!!! Like it or not I'll be the Commander!

Nida: No it can't be! Wait! You're not telling everything, are you?

Irvine: Just accept the fact guys. His skills surpass everyone here including our ex-commander, Vincent Valentinesday. So there's no doubt about him being our commander now.

Seifer: C'mon pals let's celebrate! We're going out and it's on me! (smiling from ear to ear)

Irvine and Raijin: Yey!!!!!!!

Zell: (talking to Nida) Oh no I think we're now in big trouble. (sighs)

Nida: Not …..yet.

Zell: Huh? What do you mean by "not yet"?

Nida: I'm going to talk to Xu. She knows everything.

Zell: Xu? Who is she?

Nida: Caraway's Secretary and my future ……GF (scratches his head in embarrassment)

Zell: He he he. I see.


Rinoa's Room

Selphie: Wow I can't wait to see this guy in person.

Rinoa: He's from Balamb! Wow!

Selphie: Hey what about his contact number?

Rinoa: Ekkkkkkk!!! Yes you're so brilliant Sephie! Wait, let me browse this a bit. Hmmm…contact number…. What? Ohh no!

Selphie: What's wrong Rin?

Rinoa: This is Mr. Cid's number. Arghh I cannot call this one.

Selphie: That means he's staying at his Garden?

Rinoa: Yeah probably.

Selphie: That's great Rin!

Rinoa: Great?

Selphie: That means… Mr. Cid knows this guy very well. Why not ask Mr. Cid about him!

Rinoa: WOWWWWW WHOOO HOO!! Yeah!

Selphie: Since Mr. Cid is at your mansion right now, why not talk to him about that paper.

Rinoa: Good suggestion my best friend!

Xu: What do you want to talk about huh?

Nida: (blushing) Well uhh…

Nida: About the new Commander?

Xu: Oh! (sighs) (eyes blinking) Isn't he sooooo cute!

Zell and Nida: Cute? (Vomits)

Xu: HUH? You haven't seen the guy and you're judging him already? (Crossing her arms)

Nida: What'd ya mean we haven't seen him? He's been a bug at my back for years!

Xu: What? You haven't met up with this guy yet! Nida!

Zell: Yo Xu, you mean….it's not Seifer?

Xu: Seifer? Ohh geez give me a break. (rolling her eyes)

Zell: ???

Xu: Well, the truth is……it's kinda 50/50 for Seifer or should I say 1/99 he he he.

Nida: ……………

Xu: The General arranged this "Duel" between Seifer and this super-cutey guy. Whoever wins the match will be considered the Commander and the new leader of the Alpha team.

Nida: Ahhh so that means….Seifer is NOT YET our Commander and leader? Please tell me I'm right Xu.

Xu: Precisely!

Zell and Nida: Whew!! What a relief!
