Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VIII, or any of its characters but I do own the characters that I created.

Sophia stretched and looked at her clock. 5:33 AM.

'Great. I had to wake up early, didn't I?' She sighed and stood up. She quietly left the room. 'Since everyone's asleep, I can go exploring now.' She made her way down the hall. She stopped in front of a sign that said 'Training Center' and walked inside. She heard the clashing of a sword near. She walked until she saw what was causing all of the racket. Seifer Almasy. He was training. He stopped when he saw her.

"Good mornin'. You're up awfully early." He twirled his gunblade around.

"You're up awfully early too." Sophia walked up to him. She had to tell him sometime. "Uh…Seifer?"

"Yeah?"

"Um…" The only problem was…she didn't know how to say it! "Well…how 'bout we talk somewhere safer? More than likely monsters will start attacking us if we stay here too long."

"Okay." Seifer and Sophia walked out of the Training Center. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Um……is the cafeteria open this early?" Sophia truly didn't know how to tell him that she was his sister.

"No but we should be able to just sit in there." Seifer told her. She nodded and they were off towards the Cafeteria.

"WAKE UP!!!" Zell's loud screaming could probably be heard throughout the whole Garden. He was banging at Squall's door. The door opened and Zell accidentally started banging on Squall. "Oops. Sorry, man." He walked in.

"What do you want? It's 5:36 AM." Squall rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"Ya know what I saw?" Zell bounced up and down on Squall's bed.

"You're gonna see my fist flying into your face if you don't stop jumping on my bed." Squall threatened the hyper maniac.

"Fine, fine." Zell stopped jumping, but just stood there on top of the bed. Squall pulled Zell's feet out from under him then pulled him off of the bed, then laid on the bed.

"I saw Seifer and Sophia walkin' together." Zell started pacing around.

"So?" Squall was a bit grumpy this early in the morning. "What's wrong with that?"

"Well, if ya haven't realized it yet, it's 5:40 in the mornin'." Zell continued pacing.

"Well, if ya haven't realized it yet, I did notice it! That's why I'm gonna go back to sleep." With that said, Squall closed his eyes.

"But Squall!" Zell started jumping around, punching the air. "I have a feelin' that them two like each other."

"Why do you think that?" Squall asked. This was starting to get interesting.

"Because they walked together to the cafeteria. After they came out of the Training Center together. Ya see where I'm goin'?" Zell stopped jumping and punching.

"Oh…you think that Seifer and Sophia are dating?" Squall sat up.

"Yep. And I wanna go check it out. Yo, you comin'?" Zell asked him.

"No. You ain't gettin' me caught up in this mess. If you get caught, I'd rather be sleeping. Now, OUT." Squall got up and pushed Zell out of his room. "Let me SLEEP." He slammed the door shut, leaving Zell outside all alone.

"I'm right and I know it." Zell headed towards the cafeteria.

"Whatcha wanna talk 'bout?" Seifer took a seat in a chair. Sophia sat across from him.

"You probably won't believe me, but just in case…" Sophia took out a folder. "Here. Read this." She slid the folder across the table to him. He took it and began reading.

"Oh my Hyne…" He read the papers silently. "You're an…Almasy?" He looked up from the papers and stared at her.

"Yep. Sophia Almasy. You're sister." Sophia rested her chin in her hands. "Come on. Don't you see the resemblance?"

"Yeah…but I didn't think you'd be my sister." Seifer just stared at the papers, shocked.

"You must tell no one. Okay? If anyone found out about this…let's just say it won't be pretty." Sophia looked towards the door. "Do you hear something?"

Zell, unfortunately, only heard the 'You must tell no one. Okay? If anyone found out about this…let's just say it won't be pretty' part. He stared at the two.

'So I was right. They are dating.' Zell was proud of himself. He had been right and now he was gonna go tell Squall. And everyone else in the whole Garden and the town Balamb. He heard footsteps walk towards him as he snapped back to reality. 'Mayday! Mayday! I've been spotted!!' Zell hopped up from where he was hiding and ran out of the Cafeteria.

"HEY!! GET BACK HERE, CHICKEN WUSS!!" Seifer ran after him. Sophia not too far behind him.

"I'M SO DEAD MEAT!!!" Zell turned a sharp corner and continued to run. He glanced behind him. Sophia was catching up to him and he noticed Seifer was gone. He bumped into something and fell on his butt. He looked up. "I was…just…uh…ya know…taking a quick run around Garden…and…um…" He was picked up by Seifer.

"You'd better not tell anyone what you heard, got it chicken wuss?" Seifer held his grip on Zell's shirt tightly.

"Ah, chicken wuss, eh? Nice name." Sophia came up from behind.

"What…what are ya gonna do to me?" Zell asked.

"Well, to keep you from blabbin', I'd say it had to be somethin' harsh. Don't you agree, Sophia?" Seifer looked down at the teenage girl standing beside him.

"Right. Let me take care of mister chicken wuss, Seifer. I'll make sure he tells no one." Sophia looked up at Zell.

"Uh…oh…" Zell gulped.

"Squall!! Ya gotta come see this, ya know!" Rajin's voice came from the other side of Squall's door.

"Uh?" Squall sat up slowly.

"YES. YOU MUST COME SEE." Fujin's voice came from the other side of the door also.

"Oh okay." Squall stood up and walked out of his room. The three walked down the hall and towards a large group of people standing in front of the Cafeteria. They pushed through the ground and walked inside. "Whoa." Squall looked up. "Zell?"

Zell was hanging by his feet on a rope that was tied to a light on the ceiling.

"Uh…can someone please get me down from here? I think all of my blood is rushing to my head." Zell looked at Squall, Fujin, and Rajin. Then he looked over at the two main people who were standing in front of everyone. Seifer and Sophia.

"How in the hell did you get up there?" Squall looked up at the dangling Zell.

"I…uh…don't know." Zell looked over at Sophia. 'She's an evil, evil, person.' Zell shivered.

After quite some time, they finally got him down.

"Who did that to you?" Squall asked him.

"Uh…" Zell glanced over at Sophia. "I don't remember. Bye." Zell quickly ran out of the room, but not before he gave Sophia a small piece of paper.

She looked at it and laughed. The paper read: I'll never tell anyone, you evil, evil person.

"Let's go." Seifer left. Fujin, Rajin, and Sophia followed him.

"That girl's strange. Real strange." Squall rubbed the back of his neck. "There's always something insane happening here."

It was after lunch, and Seifer and Sophia sat outside on a bench.

"Ya know, I've been lookin' for you for quite a long time." Sophia had to say something to break the long, boring silence.

"You have?" Seifer looked over at her. She nodded. "I honestly didn't know I had a sister."

"Using GF's really messes up ya memory." Sophia patted Seifer on his shoulder. "Do ya think Zell will tell anyone?"

"Nah. I think you stopped him from blabbin'." Seifer allowed his younger sister to hop in his lap. "What do you think you are doin'?"

"I'm being the irritating little sister that I'm supposed to be." She rested her head on his left shoulder. "I'm bored."

"I can tell." Seifer moaned. He was going to have to get used to having a little sister. And fast. He noticed people staring at them as they walked by. Many giggled and pointed. "People are staring, Sophia."

"SO? I'll make 'em stop." Sophia hopped off of his lap and stood up straight. She stared coldly at the next few people that walked past them. They quickly stopped staring and ran off. "There." She hopped back on his lap.

'I'll never get used to having a little sister.' Seifer sighed. "Oh no. Here comes the whole gang." He looked over at Irvine, Selphie, Quistis, Rinoa, Squall, and Zell who were walking towards them. Sophia quickly hopped off of him and sat beside him.

"Hiya, Seif!" Selphie ran over to them.

"Seif?" Sophia looked at him with her eyebrow raised.

"Shut up." Seifer leaned back in the bench.

"So whatcha doin'?" Selphie swayed back and forth.

"Nothin' much." Seifer closed his eyes.

Sophia hopped up. "Is anyone else bored other than me?"

"I am!" Selphie said joyfully.

"You're always bored." Irvine said.

"Not when I'm with you." Selphie looked up at him. Irvine was now blushing.

"Let's ride that flying dragon thing!" Sophia didn't know what they called it, but she liked what she named it. The Flying Dragon Thing.

"It's called Ragnarok." Seifer said. It was like he just read her mind.

"Who cares?! Let's just ride in it already!" Sophia ran out of Balamb Garden. Everyone sighed, then followed.

Although Sophia was Seifer's younger sister, she seemed to be more…hyper. She had more of their mother in her than Seifer did. But she also had some of her father in her.

"Can I drive?" Sophia asked excitedly.

"Uh…" Zell was driving. He looked back at Seifer.

"Let her, Zell." Seifer didn't really want to watch his sister yell at Zell until he let her drive.

Sophia sat down in the driver's seat. "Buckle up, guys! Ya gonna want to!" She hardly gave them enough to time buckle up. The Ragnarok picked up speed quickly. Seifer quickly buckled up.

'We might die today.' Seifer thought to himself as Ragnarok continued to pick up speed.

"WHOO HOO!!" Sophia was having a blast. Ragnarok headed towards the ground and started to spin. Everyone held their breaths. Just at the last second, Ragnarok headed away from the ground and back up in the sky.

'She's gonna get us killed.' Seifer rubbed his head.

Ragnarok stopped. "HOLD ON TIGHT!!" Sophia's playful attitude quickly went away. She grabbed the controls for the guns and started to fire them.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Seifer shot up out of his seat. His eyes went wide once he saw why she started firing. A Blue Dragon was flying towards them. Not just one though. Five of them. Something hit up against Ragnarok and threw everyone to the side. Sophia's head hit hard against the metal control panel. She was a tough cookie, but metal against the head was going to knock you out no matter who you were. Blood ran down her face.

"Sophia?!" Seifer immediately stood up and ran up to her. "Sophia!" He turned her head to the side so he could see what was wrong. She had been hit in the head hard enough for blood to come out. Seifer picked her up. "Zell, take the controls."

"But-" Seifer interrupted Zell.

"TAKE THE CONTROLS NOW!!!" Seifer yelled at him. Zell quietly obeyed and took the controls. Seifer held the motionless body of his sister.

Quistis started showing and explaining to Zell the controls that worked the guns. Ragnarok was hit in the side once more.

"She's going down!" Zell did his best on controlling Ragnarok and firing at the Dragons.

"Well keep her up!" Seifer yelled.

"I CAN'T! They're attacking from the side! I can't hit them if they're beside of this thing!" Zell yelled back. Whenever he turned Ragnarok to fire at the Dragons, they always moved then attacked.

"Stupid Dragons!" Irvine, without being told, opened the door and started firing at the Dragons with his gun.

"Well, for some stupid Dragons, they're pretty smart!" Selphie tied a rope around Irvine so he wouldn't fall out. She then tied the other end of the rope to a pole on the other side of the room. Irvine continued firing. Squall stood beside him, looking out at the Dragons. He pulled the trigger to his gunblade and started firing at the Dragons.

"It's no use!" Squall stopped firing. Irvine stopped and stepped back inside, and untied the rope. Squall shut the door and leaned up against the wall.

"SHE'S GOIN' DOWN!!!" Zell screamed as the nose of Ragnarok tipped towards the ground.

"EVERYONE HOLD ON TIGHTLY!!!" Seifer held onto a pole, still holding onto Sophia though.

"SHE'S GOIN' DOWN FAST!!" Zell screamed once more.
