Well it's been how many years since I've touched this fan fiction? Last updated in 2002, whoo a very long time…eh? I had to stop because I couldn't figure out where to go from the last chapter and where Rinoa and the characters wanted to take the story. I got bored and reread this story and figured out how I wanted to go about it…for now. Please R &R, enjoy.


"Quistis just reported in, F.H was attacked by monsters and so was Ragnarok when they tried to rescue our former Disciplinary Committee. One of them are badly injured and they requested permission to come back early." Xu walked into the office her head held high and looking very professional.

"Seifer,Raijin and Fuujin at F.H?" Squall grunted and stood up behind the desk, "Yeah bring them back in…Send two other groups out to finish the mission." Walking passed Xu with no eye contact he pushed the button to the elevator.

"Squall you can't just leave you have a lot of work to do." Xu walked behind him trying to catch up, she places her hand on his upper arm. "You cannot abandon your duties. You are the Assistant Headmaster in this Garden and with that comes responsibilities."

Squall turns and looks down at her, "I know what I am and I know what I'm suppose to do. Even Cid takes a break…Xu go away." The elevator doors whooshed open and he stepped in and pushed "Close" before Xu could say another word.

Hardly fair that she expects him to resume all activities and duties when he just found her. Couldn't they give him a break, he was only human after all. With a loud sigh he began to tap his foot waiting for the elevator to stop. "Meeting in room 2354 A at 4:00 P.M. Recreational Committee, Last day for Drop and Switch see Mr. Nestle. Next SeeD exam is in fifteen days." the automated voice spilled out announcements. "Level 1 A, Have a nice day," the elevator finally decided to open it's doors and Squall walked out without a second thought.

"Angelo, get back here! Angelooo?" Rinoa came running toward Squall as her dog flashed passed him. "ANGELO GET YOUR FURRY BUTT BACK…here." She watched the dog escape in the cafeteria.

"I see you found your dog." Squall perked a brow as Rinoa was hunched over panting and weezing.

"He stole my hamburger." She collapsed on a bench and tossed her head back. "I'm out of shape."

"No you're not, you just haven't engaged in physical exercise." He sat down next to her and looked down on the floor. "Remember anything yet?"

"Nope…I've tried and I'm tired of trying…" She sighs heavily and sits up a bit straighter, "I wish I could remember but there is nothing there."

"A student reported seeing you during after hours… I know it's impossible because we were sleeping but…I had to bring it up." Squall said sourly and glanced away.

"Silly, I was in your room…." She watched her dog come back to her panting harder than she was saliva dripping from it's mouth. "Angelo.." The dog's ears perk up and walk toward her.

"Yeah." He watched the dog and the woman he loved play. All doubt washed away then his thoughts began to wander when foot steps could be heard coming toward them.

"Rin!" Selphie squeaked and ran over to the bench pulling her friend up and hugging her tightly, "We were sooo worried!" Rinoa was like a doll in Selphie's arms at the moment she gave the girl a pat on the back and slipped out of her reach.

"Rinoa.." Quistis said a faint smile on her face then she looked at Squall. "Squall Seifer, Raijin and Fuujin are getting patched up. It's so thick with monsters out there, and the…ship is damaged."

"It's what?" Squall looked up at Quistis, "Well we were surrounded by monsters what did you think would happen?"

Irvine scratched the back of his neck and looked down at the floor, "It was bad and you might be missing some windows I uh..shot them out." Squall's eyes widen a fraction.

Quistis pushed her blonde hair away from her face and behind her ear, "I recommend that you send more SeeD out contact the other Gardens until we find the source."

"Is it another Lunar Cry?" Rinoa asked as she offered Squall a hand up, he as expected ignored it.

"Planets aren't aligned with the site so…no. Dr. Odine is still missing his documents." Quistis pointed out.

"Just a suggestion." Rinoa stretched and patted her dog on the head. "Hm I'm going to try to get something to eat."
