Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Final Fantasy 8 characters (Except the annoying office lady, but that's nothing to be proud of -_-)

Selphie heard Matron's voice and looked up from the map, she and everyone else was looking at.

"Squall!" Everyone looked up.

Quistis and Selphie ran to him and hugged him, followed by Zell and Irvine. Selphie was crying and laughing at the same time. Squall was still kind of in shock, but he hugged them all back. After they all let him go, Squall looked around the room. Matron's face went cold.

"Uh....Rinoa didn't show up...."

Squall didn't say anything, but thought, "Why would she want to show up, anyway...."

Selphie, Irvine, Quistis, and Zell lowered their heads and kept quiet.

"But, she still could come!" Cid said smiling, trying to cheer him up.

Squall looked toward them all, "I missed you guys." He smiled.

They all smiled.

"Of course you did!" Selphie said, "At least you better have!"

Selphie and Quistis grabbed him, and Zell and Irvine followed them.

"I miss being here!" Selphie said dragging Squall behind her, "Hurry up Irvine! You guys!"

"What's for lunch?" Zell asked and Quistis punched him in the shoulder, "Owie! Hey!"

Matron could see Squall's sadness. He couldn't hind behind a happy mask!

"We have to get Rinoa here, Cid" She said

Cid shook his head in agreement.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Squall showed Selphie their old classroom. She sat in her desk and fiddled with the computer. Quistis sat at the teachers, put her feet up and sighed.

"Everything feels so different..."

"Yeah...." Irvine agreed

"Too bad Rinoa couldn't come" Zell added.

Squall didn't answer.

Quistis signaled Zell to shut up, but He didn't see her and continued.

"What ever happened between you two anyway? I thought you'd be together forever-" He saw Quistis and zipped it.

"She left and I couldn't go with her..."

None of them understood, but thought not ask, seeing how just that showed the hurt in his eyes. He put his head down covering up his face and continued...

"She wanted to go, live some place else, and I wanted to help Cid and Matron. When I told her I had to stay and help them. She left without telling me good-bye, but I'd also never seen her cry that much before....and-

"And you didn't know what to say and walked away..." Quistis said.

"You big jerk! It's all your fault!" Selphie said and Irvine covered her mouth.

Squall shook his head, "Yes....I wish I could change things, now."

"Squall, you shouldn't worry about it, now. Just have a good time today!" Irvine said.

Quistis could see his guilt for not going with her. He chose the garden over her. She thought of how Rinoa must feel, and why she probably didn't come.

Squall lifted his head, "Come on, Where else do you want to go?"

Selphie raised her hand, "Oo Oo! I want to see the Quad!!"

They all got up and followed Squall around to, what felt like, billion rooms. Zell missed the cafeteria the most. The all sat down and ate at a small table.

"Hey! Has anyone heard from Seifer?" Zell asked.

All of them just looked at him and shook their heads.

"Why would you care, Zell?" Selphie asked, "I thought you hated him?"

Zell shrugged, "Can I have another Hot Dog?"

"I kind of wonder about him, too" Quistis said.

"Yeah....soo, can I have another?"

"Whatever..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later at night (About 8:45 pm).....

Squall was getting ready for the stupid party. He took a shower and put on his uniform. The subject of Seifer made him think of the time they though he was dead. How everyone started talking about him in past terms.

"Rinoa probably talks about me like that now..." He thought and could see it in his mind.

The thought scared him and then the voices in his head began to start in. He put his head down and drenched his face in cold water, trying not to think about it and wake himself into reality. He dried his face and Started toward the elevator. Selphie was at the bottom waiting for him...

"Hey, Selphie."

"You take forever, Pretty boy! Anyway, I forgot to tell you," She held out her hand with Irvine's ring on it, "Irvine and I are getting married soon and I want you to be maid of honor!" She smiled.

"What...?"

"Just kidding! Irvine wants ya to be Best man, So you have to come!"

"Wouldn't miss it." He smiled.

Selphie smiled back, "Thank you! I'll try and get Rinoa to come-"

"It's okay, If she doesn't want to see me, don't force her too."

"Well, I want her to come anyway."

"Sorry, I just don't want you guys to worry about me."

"Your still hurting bad, aren't you?"

Squall didn't say anything.

"You're happy to see us though, right...?"

"Yeah, One of the best things that has happened in a long while!"

Selphie smiled and grabbed his arm, "Come on! Just wait till ya see what I did!"

Squall followed her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Just out side of the Quad, Squall could hear music that he could tell Selphie picked out. He covered his eyes when he walked in; the lights were really bright at this point.

"Stop staring into them." She smiled.

"You did this, Selphie?"

"Yep! Cool, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks! No you better have fun!" She waved and ran over to Irvine.

Squall was greeted by several people, then went off to his corner with his drink (or as my brothers call it, "Beera"). Right now he wanted to throw his "Beera" at Zell who was annoying him. (Leave him alone and Let him drink his "Beera"! (Sorry, I think it's funny ^-^))

"I heard the guy yell something and the next thing I knew-"

"Let me guess, You were on the ground being attacked by his poodle?"

"Hee-hee, guess you heard that one before, huh?"

"Yes..."

"Well, I'm gonna......get some more food!" He walked away.

Squall took a sip of his "Beera", sighed and looked up at the glass roof. He saw a shooting star and closed his eyes.

"Rinoa..." He mumbled.

He thought about the time they first met, just like this and Rinoa dragging him like a rag doll out on the dance floor. The time he carried her on his back to Esthar and on the Ragnarok. God did he miss holding her. He hoped when he opened his eyes, she would be right in front of him, looking at him with her dark eyes...

A huge crash coming from where Zell had been. He looked over there and noticed a Dog running from the sight of the tipped over food.

"Angelo...?"
