A/N - I don't own any of the rights to the FF games nor do I own Square-Enix but the two characters who are being entered into the story in this chapter are my own and I will try to get the action up and running soon. If the characters seem a bit bland could you give me a few pointers to help me.
A brunette haired girl was walking along the corridor on 2F to the classroom. She knew it would probably be the last one before she took the SeeD field exam.
She nodded to Zell as she entered and he noticed her figure, she was it was about 5' 9" he guessed. She was slim, obviously worked out quite a bit. Then it struck him, after paying the attention to the rest of her body, he had forgot to check out her behind.
"Okay class, I will just start off, by quelling some rumours that have been flying around since yesterday." Zell said getting the students undivided attention on the subject.
"First off, the rumour about the SeeD field exam, it will take place today, so all of you who failed the written exam are to stay at Garden, whilst the rest of you meet at the garage at 12 noon." Zell carried on saying, noting the beautiful smile on the gorgeous girl.
He looked at the clothes she was wearing and they were quite unusual. She wore a knee length denim skirt with a red and yellow t-shirt. The jacket went down to her knees and it was black leather and she had it open.
"Secondly there is an important mission some of us instructors have to go on after the exam, so you'll be looked after by the rest of the instructors. Oh and don't forget to get changed before the exam and class dismissed." Zell finished off saying, as he saw the class stand up and start to leave the classroom.
He knew that this had been a special favour to Quistis, who had to help Squall out to get Laguna's room ready for when he arrived in half an hour. So he didn't know any of the students names but he'll have to ask Quistis about that particular girls name.
"Here comes the Ragnorak, Rin you know what to do when I have to go help with the exam don't you?" Squall said, he was actually getting worried that Laguna might plan something like a family dinner or something when he was away on business.
"Yes Squall, keep an eye on Laguna, so he doesn't try anything suspicious. I'll have some time to talk to Elle anyway about how you were as a kid." Rinoa commented seeing Squall's face turn into one of worry, at the thought of Rinoa getting some information on how he was before Ellone left the orphanage.
"You wouldn't because I can't remember of half of that myself due to effects of the GF's. I'll be glad that you'll be able to get know sis a bit more." Squall thought back to the first time that Rinoa and Elle first met and that Elle had to send Rin's and Ultimecia's consciousness back into the past to cause Time Compression.
As they finishing the discussion they were having, the Ragnorak began to land. Esthar had claimed it back after the involvement two years before.
Dr Odine was a bit disappointed that they did not detain Rinoa and made her stay in Esthar but as soon as Laguna fount out that Squall was his son and that he and Rinoa were involved. He ordered them to let them go, or the same time would have happened at the Sorceress Memorial.
"Squall, how you been?" Ellone shouted, as she ran towards them, arms open wide and Squall automatically knew there was no way to escape her clutches.
"I'm doing better than I've have done in the past." He replied, seeing Laguna trying to make a grand entrance in the background but Kiros pushed him down to stop him.
"Hey, aren't you going to say hi to your old man, Mr Commander?" Laguna said, being a bit sarcastic and pushing it but he knew it he wouldn't know until he said it.
"Laguna, could you stop trying to show Squall and Rinoa up and explain the situation to them, which we heard on the way here from one Mr Zone." Kiros mentioned, getting Rinoa attention immediately.
"You got a transmission from Zone and Watts. Why didn't we get one." Rinoa said, a little surprised by them contacting Laguna.
"Well we were at Timber getting a few supplies and Ellone noticed them and went up to them to find out haw they were. At almost the same instant the Galabadian army enter and took over the town and seized the television station." Kiros replied.
"So you're actually telling me that Galabadia has invaded Timber again?" Squall said, seeing Rinoa starting to get angry with the outcome.
"That's what we're saying exactly down to the tee. We thought we'd better tell you because Zone wants to hire you to get rid of them." Laguna answered, knowing that Rinoa would want to go right away.
"Okay, I guess we can change the location of the SeeD exam. And go to Timber instead." Squall said, looking at Rinoa and he just nodded to her in a way that told her that she was going with them.
They all walked into the garden and went towards Squall's office.
"That's it Squall, go to Timber and sort the Galabadians out, this is going to be so much fun." The mysterious woman said, before turning and disappearing into thin air.
"Squall, what's going on? Why have you changed the location of the exam for?" Quistis asked, noting that Laguna was there in Squall's office with him.
"To be honest Quistis, a situation has risen in Timber involving the Galabadian army, and a certain friend has asked for our help." Squall replied, noting that Quistis was going to ask some more questions.
"Hey up Quistis, I'm the one who relayed the message, and the old friend who asked me Zone." Laguna chirped up, knowing that was one of the questions Quistis was going to ask already answered.
"Hey Laguna and thanks for telling me that and if it'd for Zone then I won't ask anymore questions, because we've helped out the Forest Owls before, so has this got anything to do with Rinoa's influence or not?" Quistis knew what the answer would be but had to ask anyway.
"No Quistis the outcome didn't have anything to do with Rinoa but she is coming with us. Obviously due to the fact she was a part of the liberation before and now Galabadia is at it again." Squall knew that Quistis had expected the whole speech.
"Well the students are waiting for us at the garage, so are coming?" Quistis was pleased that he had thought it through with a unbiased mind. Squall just nodded and they went towards the elevator.
"Hey Quisty. Squall, Laguna wait up. Aw come on man I'm having trouble as it is." Zell yelled as he ran from the Cafeteria towards them.
"Hey Zell, what's happening with you these days?" Laguna asked, seeing Squall and Quistis shake their heads in shame at the thought of Zell and Laguna starting a long conversation like they had just after Ultimecia was defeated.
"Ah not much, wanted to ask Quistis who the girl who wears the denim skirt and red and yellow shirt is?" Zell was so interested in her that Quistis was a bit taken aback by it all.
"Zell, her name is Pia Jackson. You dare hit on her and you'll have me to answer to!" Quistis replied, whacking her whip in her hand. Zell knew he was dead if he tried anything.
They soon got to the garage and all the SeeD candidates where there including Pia, Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine and Kiros.
"Okay everyone into the cars and let's go the train station in Balamb." Squall ordered them, and with that they all entered their designated vehicle and started of towards Balamb.
