Becoming a SeeD
By Zeroxy
Chapter 1: Arrival
A lone car was on the road between Balamb and the Garden named after it. The car was Garden property but Quistis could care less. She looked over to her passengers. Irvine of course called shotgun and was now sleeping with the window open. He had taken off everything but his pants right before sleeping just in case Quistis wanted to sly a peek of him. Arrogant bastard, she thought. She smiled; at least he didn't look so elegant asleep like he probably thought.
Then, her other passenger gave a sneeze. "Ah-choo," Sitting in the backseat in her formal blue dress was Rinoa. The older women looked into her rearview mirror for second to chance a glimpse at the girl she had been sent to retrieve. Thinking back on it, Irvine had been less of a flirt when he volunteered to be her bodyguard. She smiled, Rinoa probably just wanted to meet Squall. What a nasty surprise was in store for her.
"Quistis? Are we almost there? I can't wait to finally become a SeeD!" Rinoa said. It had been a couple years now and she was a very good student. It was surprising just how well and quick how Rinoa had gone through the ranks at the other Gardens. Perhaps if we had tested her sooner she would have been a SeeD with me, the blonde mused.
"Yes we're almost at the Garden. Be sure to be on your best behavior," she said. Irvine gave a loud snore. They both laughed. "Maybe you should wake you 'bodyguard' up too…"
"Why did she have to bring Irvine too!" Zell yelled as he punched a wall. He had gotten a major growth spurt since he had last seen Rinoa or Irvine. He was now 5'8" and had bought bigger versions of his already existing wardrobe.
"Don't get so worked up, he might think of it as positive attention" Selphie scolded, forcing Zell to turn around, "Besides, he knows I'm off limits." She then leaned into his arms and gave a light peck on his cheek. He blushed and returned her kiss. Selphie walked away knowing what kind of an effect this would have on her boyfriend.
She had dramatically changed he appearance, plucking her eyebrows so they weren't so thick. She had also grown her brown hair longer so that it crept down her back. Thank You Quistis. Her former instructor had advised her to ditch the girly look. She had auctioned her old yellow dress to pedophiles a long time ago; saying it had been worn by a succession of little girls. Pedophiles paid very well for her new leather pants and scarlet shirt.
Selphie went up ton her room and put on her face. She had dated Zell because she had started to have feelings for Quistis. And she didn't want to be labeled as a lesbian so she went out with Zell, now nobody could say she gave Quistis 'the eye'. Which is why she went down and waited outside for the blonde outside, eager to carry their luggage and gain approval from Quistis. An hour later her boyfriend sat next to her and they cuddled until their guests arrived.
Quistis raised an eyebrow when she saw the two of them together. Good, she thought, at least Zell is keeping that horny bitch away from me. Rinoa gave a warm smile, now Zell wouldn't be hitting on her. But Irvine, well he looked absolutely livid. How could Zell had gotten a girlfriend! And he looks bigger then from when I last knew him. Who's that chick with him anyway!? He sent all the right signals, right?
Hearing the car coming the two SeeDs got up. They said hello and started talking amongst themselves. The girls all gravitated together while the men took the luggage. Irvine was kinda of angry at Zell, now he couldn't make fun of the blonde's shortness.
"So, ah, who was that girl you were with?" He asked.
"Oh, that was Selphie, changed hasn't she? I asked her out because she looked less like 10 year old and more like her age." Zell happily replied.
"That was Selphie!?"
"Yeah, she still has a train fetish though."
Meanwhile the girls caught up with each other. Rinoa wasn't as surprised as Irvine was, she had been given a warning by Quistis. She also noticed that Selphie had been checking Quistis out every since they had arrived. Well, you just got some competition for her heart train lover.
"Sir, they have arrived, just as you said," save said angrily. You could almost feel his hatred for the other man.
"Excellent, take Zell to my, ah- facilities then,"
"Anything else?" Seifer almost spat the question.
"Make sure that Rinoa rooms with Quistis, this ought to be fun to watch."
"Whatever," Seifer muttered, leaving the other man in the room alone. The door automatically closed behind him. How he hated that man!
