A/N - I do not own Square-Enix or the rights to the Final Fantasy series


"Xu can you please put President Laguna on the Video Screen please." Squall said, looking at Rinoa and he wondered why Laguna wanted to talk to him for.

"Certainly Commander, I'll contact him right away." Xu replied, seeing that Rinoa was thinking hard about something.

"Rin, what you thinking about and don't say nothing because I know that you'll be lying." Squall said inquisitively, knowing it was something to do with what has been going on recently.

"I'm just wondering why Ultimecia hasn't taken over my body for yet. If she wants to find Griever, why not just control me to find it." Rinoa replied, knowing that was nagging her since the reason they had fount out that Ultimecia was aiming to get Griever released.

"I was actually thinking the same thing to an degree, but she might not have fount the machine that Odine has built yet." Squall said trying to comfort her.

They then heard a voice shouting and they realised that it was Ellone and that the Video Screen was operational.

"Hey up sis, how you been?" Squall asked, seeing that she was having trouble to keep Laguna in check.

"Squall, I'm doing ok, better than I was when we started. Laguna has been a real pain, I hope you can sort him out because he keeps trying to tell me and Kiros what to do!" Ellone replied, seeing Laguna and Kiros fighting in the background.

"Sis, put Laguna on, so Kiros can have a breather from him and get his revenge on him when he'd finished talking to me" Squall was wanting to laugh but he knew now wasn't the time for it.

"I heard that Squall, don't believe you're siding with Kiros over you're old man on this." Laguna had now stopped fighting with Kiros and was now walking toward the screen.

"Yeah well when you're trying to boss Elle around, you won't get my support at all. I see you been keeping Esthar under the isolation order again, so why the call and what are you going aboard the Ragnorak?" He noticed the sitting area almost instantly and he was hoping that Laguna's answer was anywhere else but Balamb.

"Hey you now what my people are like after the Lunar Cry and the Galabadians, they're just afraid that something bad is going to happen again and we're on our way to the garden." Laguna replied, looking back at Kiros and giving him a thumbs up.

"Uh Mr Loire, if you don't mind me asking, but what is the reason for you coming to Balamb. I hope it's not just a friendly visit?" Rinoa asked, looking at Squall, who wanted to laugh hard.

She knew the reason why he wanted to laugh and it was because of what she had just said. She knew it sounded so Squall like.

"Damn Rinoa, you're becoming more like Squall every day." Ellone chirped in and started to laugh at the thought of Rinoa going 'Whatever' and always wearing that silly jacket that he used to always wear.

"Sis, come on and be objective, you know I've changed since two years ago. If it's anyone who has to explain past behaviour it's Laguna." Squall replied, seeing Laguna's face opened jawed almost because of that comment, and he Kiros laughing hard in the background.

"Squall, how can you say that. I have changed since you actually saw me in that period of time that Elle sent you back to. You want to know why we're coming to Balamb for or what?" Laguna replied, they all sensed a bit of hurt in his voice over what Squall had just said.

"Squall is sorry for that last statement, it's just that we haven't had that much of excitement lately. On a scale of 1 to 10, we've had about 2." Rinoa replied, looking a bit surprised by what she was saying but he knew it was true.

"I understand Rinoa, anyway we're on our way for two reasons. One is that I've got a feeling that something bad is about to happen and the second is that we have got a special anniversary gift for you and Squall." Laguna replied, and he noted the puzzled looks on Squall's and Rinoa's faces.

"There is something bad about to happen but we'll tell you when you get here and our anniversary isn't for another few weeks." Squall said, actually wanting to know what Laguna was on about.

"We can't tell you what it is about but I think you might be pleased about it." Elle replied, looking at Laguna who had a big smile on his face.

"Squall we'll be there in about an hour or so, When we get there we want only you and Rinoa to be there." Laguna replied, knowing that he had to get smartened up to see his son and possibly his future daughter-in-law.

"Okay, we'll see you then Laguna. Oh and Elle can you try and keep Laguna from have one of those insane plans he has please." Rinoa said, seeing Ellone nod and hearing Kiros starting to laugh.

""Laguna I'm ending the communication right now, so we'll talk to you in an hour. Xu end the transmission please." Squall said, waving to Ellone and wasn't a bit surprised that Kiros was sneaking up on Laguna to pounce.

"Okay Commander, ending transmission right now." Xu replied and she pressed the button and the Laguna was gone.

"Thank goodness for that. Hey Rin fancy getting something to eat before we have to meet them?" Squall said showing relief from surviving it. Rinoa just nodded and the walked out of Squall's office and walked towards the Canteen


A/N - Sorry about it being all Squall, Laguna and them but I had to do something like it because I couldn't resist it
