A/N - Thanks for the reviews, I have to clear something up for some of ya. I have had a review about the age of the group and that it is illegal for them to drink. I know that this applies in countries like the USA but I'm from the UK and the law here says that you have to be 18. I will base it on the laws from the USA so it won't cause anymore confusion. Thanks to Tom RO 91, la belle fleur and JadeAlmasy for their input I'm think I now understand what you three are saying. So the format of how it is written might change over the next few chapters.

The night before had gone with two hitches, Rinoa thought to herself, but she thought back to when Squall and Irvine came back into the club. Irvine looked like had seen a ghost, did Squall tell him. If he did, she knew that there was some reason behind it.

"What are you thinking of?" Squall asked her, seeing her mind was else were. "Did you tell Irvine about what we discussed?" She knew it would invoke some kind of response, but his face didn't show any.

He knew that question was going to be asked and he actually prepared himself well, but he actually was expecting it to come the night before. He then realized that all of them could've been arrested if they didn't get out when they did.

The establisher recognised Zell and knew that he wasn't old enough to be drinking alcohol, so when he came up to them and asked for ID they knew they were busted and then the trouble started outside. When Irvine saw a guy hitting on Selphie and instantly he knew that she wasn't interested in this guy.

Zell saw what was going to come as well as Squall, they did try to warn the guy to stop what he was trying to do because they didn't want any trouble. Instead he ignored them and Squall looked ay Irvine and saw he was about to explode. Rinoa tried to calm him down but everyone including Selphie knew that there was only one way he would calm down.

At that point exactly he flew himself at the guy and launched a barrage of left and rights which the guy at first doing well against them, Squall remembered back. Irvine was just too powerful though and then he realised that Selphie was becoming frightened off what she saw Irvine doing to the guy. Irvine sensed this and backed off.

They then got back to Garden as fast as they could. No one had said a word to each other whilst on the way back. They knew exactly what would happen if Cid was told from another source about the fight so they decided that they would tell him later on today.

"Squall, I want to know right now, did you tell Irvine or not?" Rinoa was now getting impatient with him and he could tell this from how she was standing with her hands on her hips.

"Yeah I did." He replied, seeing that her expression was one of betrayal and distrust. "I told him, partly because he would have fount out anyway and it gives me someone to talk to as well. I've also made him swear not to tell the others as well."

He saw Rinoa's face turn into relief when he said the last part of it she knew they would have to tell them eventually, but she didn't expect the first person he would tell to be Irvine Kinneas. She actually expected in to be Zell.

"Okay I understand but I actually expected you to confide in Zell about it all. I wasn't expecting it to be Irvine of all people." Rinoa looked at Squall and saw he was actually surprised that she wasn't biting his head off about it all.

"To be honest, he was there in the right place at the right time." Squall moved towards the door and then he looked at Rinoa. "Are you going to come see Cid and ask him if we can talk to Edea and get this part over and done with?

Rinoa nodded, knowing that it would be easier to get it over and done with now, then later on.

Irvine desperately wanted to talk to the group about what Squall told him the night before, but he had been sworn to secrecy about it all. Zell was telling them how they had to soften Cid up before telling about Irvine's fight.

Irvine knew that part of it was due to the fact that the guy hitting on Selphie was an absolute jerk, but the other part was his anger that he knew what was wrong with Rinoa and that it was to do with Ultimecia.

"Irvine, hey are you listening to me?" Zell asked, wondering what he was thinking off.

"Sorry Zell, just wondering how Squall and Rinoa were doing that's all." Irvine wasn't actually lying when he said that but he wasn't going to lie to Cid about why he had actually did what he did last night. Even if that meant having to tell the rest of the group at the same time about Rinoa and Ultimecia.

"Hey I think we all were at some level or another." Quistis replied "He said that it wasn't too much to worry about, so I didn't ask anymore than that." The group let out a sigh all but Irvine who turned and started to walk off.

"Hey Kinneas where do you think your going to?" Selphie said, hoping it had nothing to do with last night.

"I'm going to find Squall. I need to ask him something important." Irvine answered, before walking towards the elevator to go to the Headmasters office on the third floor.

"Commander Leonhart and Miss Heartilly wish to speak to you sir" Xu announced and noticed that Cid was a bit surprised by the announcement. "Let them in, Xu" Cid replied.

Squall And Rinoa walked in with a purpose, seeing that Cid was a bit surprised to see them both.

"So what can I do for both of you?" Cid asked hoping it had nothing to do with the announcement made yesterday.

"Sir, Instructor Kinneas is here to see you as well." Xu said. Cid was in shocked at this, why did they want to talk to him at the same time for.

Squall and Rinoa looked at each other and knew why Irvine was there for. "Headmaster, will you allow him to enter please." Rinoa asked, knowing he was there for two reasons. Both she thought were valid points.

"Okay, Xu please let Instructor Kinneas enter please." Cid asked, still confused to why all three wanted to see him for. Xu nodded and Irvine strolled in and showed his gratitude to both Rinoa and Cid for allowing him to come in.

"May I ask why all three of you are her for?" Cid asked, still trying to make sense of it.

"Sir I am her for two reasons, the first is to tell you of an incident last night and the second is as support for both Squall and Rinoa." Irvine replied looking at both Squall and Rinoa and he saw their gratification.

"Sir, before Irvine tells you of the incident that happened last night, we need to tell you something very important." Squall said, seeing that Cid was curious with both replies.

"We need to talk about some dreams I have been having." Rinoa looked at both Irvine and Squall and saw them nodding in encouragement.

"I've been having these strange dreams and only yesterday did I realize what they involved." Squall saw that Rinoa was struggling to tell Cid and he was about to continue but Rinoa beat him to it.

"You see, the place was the orphanage and there was a figure. I couldn't make out who it was at first but I recognized the face just recently and that it was actually Ultimecia."

She saw Cid face and it was one of shock and confusion. "Are you sure it was Ultimecia and not someone else?" he asked, trying to take this all in.

"Yes it was and she's still alive. I've been thinking about it and I think it is actually a younger version of her. There were also bodies lying on the floor and they were the bodies of SeeDs, Balamb's and the white ones."

Edea then walked in and asked "Do you know what she wanted?" She saw that Rinoa had a bit of an idea but she didn't know exactly what she wanted.

"I can tell you this; it has something to do with you, Squall and all the SeeDs." Rinoa replied and all of them saw that Edea had a worried look on her face.

"Matron, what is it?" Irvine had fount the strength to ask Edea. He knew that she was trying to hide something but he knew that she couldn't do this.

"Squall, Irvine and Rinoa I had dreaded something like this for the past two years." She replied seeing a confused on all their faces.

"Ultimecia had hinted that she did something in her past that would affect the future greater. She would not talk about it but I knew that it had something to with my children and you." She looked at Rinoa and saw a state of shock.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Squall asked furiously. He had known that Matron had been hiding things from them, but he didn't now that it extended this far.

"I didn't know when it would be. I actually thought that it would be a few more years before it happened, it appears I was wrong though."

"It appears that you were wrong, what the hell does that mean?" Irvine said "I can actually see why you didn't tell Rinoa, so she wouldn't worry about it. That doesn't justify not telling the rest of us." Edea could see the hurt in all their eyes including Cid's.

"I am truly sorry that I kept it from you all, but it was a precaution I had to take." Edea replied "Like I said, I thought it would be in a few more years, instead of now"

"I think I know what Ultimecia might want." Irvine said, surprising them all. "Do you remember when we fought her two years ago, she had that monster called Griever that she merged with." Squall and Rinoa nodded at him, knowing that they had a bit of trouble against it at first.

"Well, where's this Griever at this present moment in time. None of us actually know, but I'm guessing that Ultimecia wants to find him." They all looked at him, and he saw that they actually thinking that it could be a reasonable possibility.

"So then we are going to look for Griever then." Cid announced, knowing that this was only the beginning of it.
