Chapter Two---Nural Tension

The phone rang, startling Quistis from her dazed state. The room was immaculate, even more so then how she left it this morning. It was almost frightening. Almost.

"Hello?" A bright voice carried over the airways, making Quistis smile.

"Hey Quissy, tis meh! Anywhos, Fujin's friends from Tabs gave her some free tickets to the concert that's going to be playing there tomorrow and we decided you're going!" Quistis rolled her eyes, even though she was curious as to who was playing.

"Really now?"

"Really,really!" Selphie giggled and Quistis examined her room more closely, ignoring Selphie's drabble about this or that. Hm, whoever had been in her room organized her cd collection. Score.

"So, your bringing a date, right?" Quistis scoffed.

"Like who? Please, I'll be the chaperone, as always. Besides, your driving scares me more then Seifer's." Selphie feigned shock.

"I am a good driver, thank you. Anyways, bring a date. Bye!" Quistis rolled her eyes and poured herself some of the coffee that her 'mystery lover' had left out for her.

'And just who does she think I'm going to be bringing to this concert of hers anyways? S.F? Not likely.' Quisitis flopped herself onto her bed, careful not to spill her coffee while she reached over to push play on her stereo system. Her latest cd carried throughout the small room and she took a deep breath, sitting down at her desk, ready to get a head start on tomorrow's work load. However, there on her desk lay a single sheet of paper, neat cursive scrawling across the page.

Can you feel the tension in the air? Assuring you once again I'm there.

You break my trust, you break my heart,

I'l break your fall...

So I lied, this time I face the sky without a smile, without a trace.

I don't just see blue, I choose too,

With still no sign of you, which brings me to my next thought.

Don't be fooled by the cunning ways of truth.

So we lie...

S.F-

Tension---Nural; but you already knew that, didn't you?

Quistis smiled a bit. It was a good song, one of her many favorites. And this, S.F obviously knew his music. She liked that. Still, some random man coming into her dorm and sending her large masses of flowers unnerved her and was no doubt unhealthy for her spotless reputation of being all work, no play. Maybe just this once...

Grabbing another sheet of paper, she tapped her nose in thought and sighed. What to say to someone you didn't even know?

I suppose thanks are in order, even if what you've done is considered Breaking and Entering. However, as it is. Thank you. I'm not quite sure if I should be nervous about some random person in my dorm, but I can hardly imagine a serial killer who does the house work for his victims before killing them. So since you can already get in, I should probably make it known your welcome, as it would be pointless to say otherwise. And thank you for the flowers. They were lovely.

I would invite you to the concert tomorrow night at Tabs, but I don't even know your name and I doubt your ready to make your prescence known, though I can'thelp but think you may be using me for my reputation and what dating said reputation would meanfor you.

So, maybe its for the best that you remain in your secretive ways, ne? Though I am curious as to how you knew one of my favorite songs. But, curiousity killed the cat.

Well, I'm fairly certain I'll be hearing more from you, so until then.

Q. E. Trepe.

Quistis was satisfied with her little letter, though it did feel rather strange to write to a stranger. Maybe it was just her own psychotic dellusions and she was just imagining this persons interest in her to gain attention that she was so craving though refused to admit she wanted...

Na.

"So, your here for...re-enrollment? But it says you've already passed our program and with flying colors." Squall looked at the man in front of him. It was strange, with him being Headmaster now, commanding people several years his senior.

"Yes, but I've forgotten most of my training due to a past assignment that went wrong. This is the only life I've ever known and I'd like to retain my title of SeeD." Squall nodded. Honorable goals in truth and he himself couldn't blame the man.

"Well, we'll have you under Instructor Trepe's watch then. She's the best we have and she's got room in her classes. Report to room 313 immediately." Sapphire oceans sparkled at Squall as the man turned and left. Squall was clueless as to the huge favor he had just bestowed upon Shaine Falkness.

The halls were quiet. Of course, that could be because he was supposed to be in aclass right now. But nevermind that. He had somewhere to be. Namely in the dorm of a certain blue-eyed blonde. It amused him to know that Quistis was so against his intentions, honorable as they were. Of course, she had no way of knowing that.

He entered quietly, careful not to leave any trace of his prescence other then what he chose to leave. He spotted the paper on the desk. Silver eyes glittered happily as he read the neat print that ran across the paper. Well, she was willing to think the best of him. This was a bonus on his part. He'd gained a fraction of her trust. Now...

It's not exactly hard to guess what kind of music you would like, judging from your extensive collection. However, quoting your song was merely a fluke. I just like the song. Yes, you will be hearing more from me. I can't let such an angel slip through my fingers now can I? -Crystal eyes and a heart of Gold.-

Yes, I'm aware thats not the actual version of that particular song, but its so much prettier that way.

I don't exactly know who you are. They tell me you saved the world next to Commander Boy. But a lot of people have saved the world.

Truth be told, I didn't even know your name until I asked. Of course, that question was granted with astonished gasps as if I were some illerate vagabond. Which I assure you I am not. At least, I don't think so...

But like I said, I don't know what you have or haven't done, I don't know your reputation. I just liked the way you smiled when I saw you in your office. Your hair was down then, and you were dancing to the music that you thought no one could hear. Of course, it WAS three in the morning...

Youll be seeing me...

S.F

P.s: Note to self, I miss you terribly

This is what we call a tragedy.

Pleased with his 'conversation' with the angel in dorm 13, he climbed out the window, humming quietly to himself.

A.n: Ok, short yes. Interesting? Maybe. An update? Definitely.

Sorceress Fujin: You know I fully expect you to be informing me of a decline or any slacking in way of my writing up to the level you know I can write at. I'm liking this story but I'm not satisfied with the quality. What say you? -grins up at you with her head in your lap while you eat the skittles-

Jasmine: I'm actually rather flattered by the glomping and it will only encourage my writing, which is better for the rest of you. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Though I'm fairly sure I threw a nice little wrench in there to confuse you yay me.

Becca: I fear no glomp.

i Ultimate!
