Squall Leonheart smiled at the crew of 6-year-olds before him. They were laughing and talking, speaking of cooties and all of the little kid things. They were all standing out in the sun in front of the Garden. They had not seen him approach so none of them were standing at attention. They would in ten years be elite SeeDs. Trained from age six to fight and command.
"So think that you can handle them commander," Rinoa asked.
Squall rolled his eyes. He hated to be called commander.
"They all seem so young," Rinoa continued.
Squall looked over at Rinoa and smiled. "They all also look eager."
Finally one of the children noticed Squall and stood at attention before him. When he did others followed suit. Squall smiled. They all seemed to want to impress him. Ever since he and his friends had defeated the sorceress they had had immense fame. It was sometimes annoying to Squall. Even when he had begun to go out with Rinoa it was hard to find anyplace alone outside of the Garden. Sometimes he just wanted everyone to just leave him alone.
The first thing that Squall did was put the children into a formation. He sorted them alphabetically. The only problem that ensued was that the boys and the girls could not easily be placed next to eachother. The all whined about cooties. Squall rolled his eyes and told them that they would be working together and if they wanted out then they were welcome to the door. That most certainly quieted them down. All of them were amazingly pleased to get to become SeeDs so early. Most couldn't start training until at least 16. They would be done by then, or at least that was the plan.
Squall then went on to show them all of the weapons that they would begin to learn. They would have to learn how to use them all at least mildly well to graduate as Elite SeeDs. When the first weapon came out all sorts of talking broke out which Squall had a time trying to stop. When he was almost so exasperated that he was about to send them all to the disciplinary committee Rinoa cast an amazing spell that made it so their mouths shut and would not open. Squall smiled at her and said "I believe I need to introduce you to your magic teacher the sorceress Rinoa Heartly." She shot Squall a look that meant death. She hated to be called "the sorceress". Squall smiled. He had to get her back for the commander. Rinoa stepped forward and let them open their mouth again and smiled.
Lately Rinoa had been perfecting her power. She was now able to cast spells such as ultima with ease. She had begun to create he own spells. She even now had the ability to create draw points. It was almost odd. She had her own storage room which held draw points where the weakest were ultima and there must have been at least 50 different spells that you could draw. And those were only the ones that she could put into a draw point. She had countless ones that were to powerful for any draw point to contain it. So basically she had POWER.
"Sorry about that. I just needed you all to be quiet. I wanted to tell you all that since you are so talkative we might need to get another group in here. You kids don't have the discipline to be SeeDs. Or do you?" Said Rinoa, stressing the word kids.
They all looked sheepish. Finally one stood forward and said, "I have disapine."
Squall and Rinoa laughed lightly.
"Discipline," said Squall.
"Discipline," she said.
"Well we will see then won't we." Answered Squall.
Finally Squall managed to pull out the whip without interruptions. He taught them all about it and handed them each their own. They began to whip just about anything when they got theirs. Finally when they were all out the air was full of, "Swweeee Snap Swweeee Snap" Squall smiled at the kids all using the whips making dents in the dirt. One of the boys there accidentally hit a girl and she snapped hers back at him. In an instant a whole fight broke out.
Squall looked up to see it and yelled, "STOP!"
They all stopped at such a loud demanding command. Rinoa walked into the crowd. She looked at the boy. He had blood flowing down his face and torn clothes. She used a curemauth on him. It was one of the stronger cures she had made. She no longer carried anything less.
Squall walked over to the girl who had nothing but a light scratch and used a cure on her. Then Squall took them off about a 100 yards away from the kids and said, "So do you two think that you can handle being a SeeD? It doesn't look like it."
The girl looked up and said, "He hit me!"
The boy squeaked, "On accident."
"Did you say you were sorry," Squall asked slightly annoyed.
"Had no time," the boy responded.
"Well there is plenty of time now."
"Sorry," he said amazingly quietly.
"What?" the girl asked.
"Sorry"
"Good," said Squall, "Now go back and if I find that there was another fight I might have to send you home."
Squall shook his head as they left to go back with their friends. Rinoa came up behind Squall and said, "You have a way with children."
"Got it from my sis'" he answered.
Rinoa smiled. Well let's go back. They kissed briefly and headed back to teach the kids how to exercise and how to use the whips."
"So think that you can handle them commander," Rinoa asked.
Squall rolled his eyes. He hated to be called commander.
